Fayetteville Mazda Dealers sell Mazda vehicles that are excellent in quality and also have not had major problems for quite some time. Jeep is looking into the problem and Chrysler has made it clear that the company will cooperate with the NHTSA as they investigate the issue. There have been some reported deaths for the potential defect, and the defect occurs when the vehicle is rear ended or when it is involved in an accident. The vehicle’s fuel tank has been shown to catch fire in some circumstances, and the reasons why it catches fire may be due to an improper or unsafe location.

Further investigation is necessary in order for the defect to be confirmed. Once a defect is confirmed, Chrysler will announce a recall of the affected models. Until then, Chrysler warned that there is no consensus on whether there really is a defect or not, and that the company will have to wait and see what the results of the investigation are before issuing a recall. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a popular SUV model and the recall may affect up to 3 million models.
