Now today the skid plate totally rusted off to were it was dangling there. It is off now. Not sure what to do. My 17 year old daughter drives it to school daily. I have to figure something out to protect it myself, so I can sleep and not worry about her driving a dangerous vehicle! My 99 just started rusting over last fee months (to were it was noticeable).

I also have a 99 Grand Cherokee which I am unable to drive as it has a steady gas leak from the tank and is unsafe. A replacement tank through Jeep-Chrysler cost $649.00 and the fuel module, which must be replaced with the tank is $349.00, for a total of $1085.00. That is a ridiculous amount to have to pay to cover their mistake! We deserve to drive and arrive alive!!!!!!!! Is there anyway for us, as consumers, to influence a recall on these vehicles?

It also has moisture on the tank which appears to be run off from the upper tank. Please keep me updated of further issues. I also have had other issues that are unrelated to the gas tank, such as electrical, brakes and heating/cooling fan.

It should only run for a few minutes. If you're still worried, your car should be under warranty, so a dealer visit isn't out of the question. I hope this helps! -John This is a normal function – the cooling fan is running to bring the engine’s temperature down after driving. It should only run for a few minutes.
