What owners wrote

Our jeep 1999 was hit in rear end and burn , hurting the driver badly. The gas tank exploded on impact. This is very unsafe.

Reported at 21,000 miles, November 2002 CrashFireInjury

First incident rough idling,second incident trying to quit on my way out of town, third incident on my way to work. Had oxygen sensor replaced 2 or 3 times and that has still not fixed the problem ! Come to a stop at a red light and the car feels like it's sputtering to quit ,!
