1998 Jeep Cherokee SE has had a fuel pump replaced (5 years ago) before the recall of same and now the engine control module has to be replaced (both times at a cost of $1000+ which is excessive and really maddening.
While in motion consumers vehicle malfunctioned. Teh vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was determined that the fuel pump was bad. At that time it was changed. The vehicle was fine until around 55000 miles. At this time the vehicle started misfiring and hesitating at low fuel levels, but only when making left hand turns. Now the problem has progressed. When turning left with low fuel, the vehicle now stops running. Consumer is forced to have the fuel pump changed again.

The car dies every time a left turn is made, even when the fuel tank is 1/4 full. It is in my opinion that the manufaturer should have placed the fuel pickup in the center of the tank to prevent the loss of power during a turn. It is possible to have a complete loss of power during an evasive manuver, thereby losing both braking and steering ability. Furthermore, the manufaturer has installed the fuel pump in such a way that the aftermarket cannot make a replacement part. Please contact me for further information.
