I have read the recent news on the investigation into the Grand Cherokee gas tanks. Both my wife and I own them. I have a 2001 and she has a 2002. I am very concerned over this as we both use these cars to take our daughter places. I worry about their safety. I recently changed the fuel filter on hers and until that time didn't even realize that the fuel tank is where it is or that it is made of plastic. It's apparent to me that they pose a serious risk, especially since one of the bolts on the rear sway bar is less than a quarter inch from the tank and could very easily puncture it in even a minor rear end crash. This is something you cannot ignore. There is obviously a reason they moved the tank after 2004. You have millions of ticking time bombs driving around. This could pose danger to the occupants of the vehicle that rear ends a Jeep and to any by standards that try to assist in an accident situation. With the way the spare tire compartment is designed, there are a few holes that are covered with sealant that could act as a passage way for the flames, the sealant in both of our cars is old and brittle so it would offer very little resistance to anything.
