PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, BUT IT CAN'T TURN, EVEN WHILE FIDDLING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. IF I THEN TAP ON THE KEY WITH SOMETHING, THEN IT MIGHT TURN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN. THE FAILURE WORSENED OVER THE YEARS. WHENEVER IT RAINED, WATER WOULD ENTER THE VEHICLE AND MOLD AND MILDEW ARE PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAULKING BEHIND THE FIREWALL WAS DESTROYED AND NEEDED TO BE RE-CAULKED BEHIND THE FIREWALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

I HAVE A 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP AND TANK. MY MECHANIC WENT TO THE WRECKING YARD AND FOUND A GOOD TANK, THE PUMP HOWEVER, HAD IT'S FILTER PIECES MISSING. THEY WERE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK. WHEN THE MECHANICS TOOK OUT MY DAMAGED TANK, THE SAME WAS TRUE WITH MY FUEL FILTER. IT IS UNDER MY IMPRESSION THAT THIS 2 FOR 2 DISCOVERY MAY MEAN THERE IS A CLOSE TO 100% PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMPS.
