Activist Ralph Nader Calls Jeep Grand Cherokee The Modern Day Pinto Over Fire Risks

Consumer activist Ralph Nader has called on Fiat to recall 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees made by Chrysler because of what he calls their vulnerability to fiery rear-end crashes.

U.S. safety regulators have been conducting an investigation and considering a recall of 3 million Grand Cherokees.

Nader said today that the Grand Cherokee from these years “is a modern-day Pinto for soccer moms” because the fuel tank is behind the rear axle below the rear bumper.
