1998 Jeep Laredo

FUEL INDICATOR GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FUEL SUPPLY AND EMPTY, AND LOW FUEL ALARM ACTIVATES EVEN WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL. ATTEMPTED TO TRACK ACTUAL FUEL SUPPLY BY OVERHEAD CONSOLE DISPLAY, BUT THAT DISPLAY FLUCTUATES WITH FUEL INDICATOR GAUGE ALSO. WHILE DRIVING, EVEN WITH FULL TANK, FUEL INDICATOR GAUGE AND LOW FUEL ALARM KEEPS ACTIVATING. THE ONLY TIME IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE SURE OF FUEL SUPPLY IS WHEN FUEL TANK IS REFUELED. TOLD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF PROBLEM WHILE IN FOR SERVICE, BUT THEY STATED THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INDICATOR GAUGE. FOLLOWING THIS, I WROTE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CORP. IN 2002 INFORMING THEM THAT I WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH NOT ONLY MY PERSONAL JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO, BUT ALSO WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S VEHICLE. I RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER CONCERNING MY LETTER, AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM. UPON SPEAKING TO OTHER OWNERS OF JEEP CHEROKEES, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, WHICH IS NOT ONLY A SOURCE OF AGGRAVATION, BUT ALSO A DISTRACTION WHEN THE ALARM ACTIVATES. ONE INDIVIDUAL I SPOKE TO INFORMED ME THAT WHEN SHE COMPLAINED OF THE PROBLEM AT HER DEALERSHIP, SHE WAS TOLD THAT WHEN SHE FUEL HER VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE GAS CAP AND TURN IT UNTIL IT CLICKED 3 TIMES, WHICH IS LUDICROUS. *JB
