I agree with you. That is exactly what I told the Service Rep at the dealer.
I am still confused about the warranty: Bumper-to-bumper. Does this apply
to the 2004 JGC? I know my partner had a problem with his Wrangler when
he had to have the bolts replaced on his engine plate.
Thanks for all of your comments. It still looks like a dark world....

Me thinks you are wrong! Sure the new (2005) JGC's are built on a car frame.
MY 2004 still had a more rugged frame. What you define as "non-paved
surfaces" sound like you are mountaineering, not just going home for the
night, or to the Post Office. Goggle a satellite view of the Victorville
area,
you might be surprised!
I also wanted to flag my problem to see if this has happened to someone
else. If no one has had mud in the rear wheel wells, or have had a canister
failure, then I am alone... I can clean it; replace the activated charcoal,
or
make one, if necessary! A key to my problem, is that I am still going to my
urban dealer and not the dealer in the desert area (Victorville). I'm just
in
Anaheim to work out of my home before it is sold. If I don't work, I cannot
pay DC the big bucks for maintenance.

I would try another dealership for warranty coverage on this emissions
part.... assuming you are still within the warranty period.

Re: 2004 JGC 4wd NOT for dirt, per dealer
If it is stuffed under the rear wheel well, they must have some type of
cleanable filter on them, nothing else would make much sense. Even just
hosing the sucker down and it should be ok to go....
The one they put on the CJ's and YJ's was at the bottom of the freakin
front wheel well and plugged up with mud easy. The second and
subsequent filters aren't hard to change...
In the OP case, the fresh air intake is just blocked by the sounds of
it, the charcoal is still fine likely.
