Who would have thought that getting slammed in the gas tank would cause it to rupture.

55 people died out of how many millions of Grand Cherokees sold? I'll take those odds. Another govornment witch hunt, why not worry about the 2 wars in the Middle East instead of this hyped up B.S.?

I read that the consumer advocacy group tested the jeeps at standards 3 X's higher than the industry wide safety guidelines ask for..

Busted is still right.. it is a witch hunt. 55 deaths??? All jeep related rear end accidents are at the same or less than normal numbers when compared against all other vehicles???

Where were there ever facts in the first place to get this group to decide to go after my ZJ like this

Hey but if there is a recall I get free stuff for my ZJ right???? I'm in!! Where do I sign? WMD's?? no WMD's??... just call me a flip flopper.. I want my new fuel tank.
