| Letter from center for auto safety which contains a detailed analysis of fuel system failures in the jeep grand cherokee currently subject of nhtsa investigation pe10-031. *kb the fuel tank is located behind the rear axle; a dangerously venerable area in the rear crush zone. the tank is made of plastic and has a fuel filler hose that is vulnerable to separation in a rear crash. the tank itself has no valve that would ensure containment of fuel in the event of a crash. the vulnerability of the fuel tank is exacerbated by the dangerous design of the fuel filler hose, which can lead to a fire. *jb | |||

| Submission from re alleged structural protection of jeep grand cherokee fuel tank system (cd enclosed) *tgw the consumer was writing to discuss a recent investigation he conducted, which was prompted in-part by public/private statements made and testimony offered by chrysler defense counsel, chrysler dealership defense counsel, existing and former chrysler employees, and various product liability defense experts. these statements and testimony have alleged in a general sense that the structure in the rear of the jeep grand cherokee offers crashworthiness to the rear mounted,polyethylene fuel tank system. his investigation concentrated on the 1993-1998 zj-body of the jeep grand cherokee, but the following can also be applied to the 199-20004 wj-body version;both of which are a portion of the referenced nhtsa engineering analysis. the ruse that the structure, and to a lesser extent the rear bumper provides real-world crashworthiness is exacerbated by the appearance of the jeep grand cherokee. that appearance, although aesthetically appealing, obscured the exact opposite reality. the customer is mislead into perceiving that the fuel tank is protected by rear components, and most egregiously this perception may not even occur because the fuel tank location issue is esoteric for the typical lay person. | |||
