1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Problems & Complaints

The contact owns a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while the vehicle gear shifter was in park, the vehicle would move forward even when the emergency brake was engaged. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair for the emergency brake, however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic and was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 180,000. VIN was unavailable.

COMPONENT (DIODE) ON 60 PIN PCM HAS A SHORT CAUSING INJECTOR NUMBER 6 TO STICK WIDE OPEN. RESULT IS A CYLINDER COMPRESSING FUEL WHICH CAN LEAD TO EXPLOSION, ALSO RAW FUEL ESCAPING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF SMOKE. GASOLINE PULLS THE OIL OFF OF CYLINDER WALL CAUSING EXCESSIVE FRICTION AND ENGINE DAMAGE ALONG WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTER DAMAGE. IF REAR ENDED WHEN INJECTOR IS STICKING OPEN COULD CAUSE EXPLOSION OR FIRE! I HAVE CONFIRMED THIS ON 3 OTHER 93-95 GRAND CHEROKEE OBD I MODELS AS WELL. JEEP WAS IDLING NEAR SOMEONE WELDING AND THE INJECTOR STUCK OPEN AND STARTED A FIRE. FIRE WAS EXSTINGUISHED IMMEDIATELY WITH DIRT AND WATER. NO PHYSICAL DAMAGES OCCURRED JUST A SCARE. I MOVED INJECTOR 6 PLUG TO 8, THEN 8 STUCK OPEN, UPON PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE COMPUTER CONNECTOR I REALIZED THE INJECTOR WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY AGAIN. BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS, JUST NOW FOUND THE ROOT CAUSE. WILL UPLOAD PICS LATER IF IT WILL LET ME. I CAN SET FIRE TO THE GROUND WHERE THE TAILPIPE IS WHEN INJECTOR IS STUCK OPEN.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH ONLY 14,500 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE SOFTWARE THAT WEEK. A FEW DAYS AFTER PICK UP, I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM: DOWN SHIFTING, NOT SHIFTING, TRANSMISSION REVING UP AND NOT ENGAGING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

DEAR SIRS, I HAVE DISCOVERED A VERY DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL HAZARD THAT IS OCCURRING ON ALL THE 1990'S JEEP CHEROKEE SE MODELS. ON THE 4.0 LITER 242 CUBIC INCH MODELS, THE DASHBOARD SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE AIRFLOW AFTER ONLY A FEW YEARS OF USE SHORTS OUT MELTING AND CAUSING A SEVERE DANGER PROBLEM. WHEN THIS BROWN PLUG MELTS IT ALSO SHORTS OUT THE 30 AMP FUSE THAT IS CONNECTED TO THIS AREA. AFTER INVESTIGATING SEVERAL OF THESE SAME MODELS IT IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN FAULT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE SOME CORRECTIVE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED FROM THIS? THE NEXT EMAIL WILL SHOW AN EXAMPLE OF TWO DIFFERENT 1990'S JEEP CHEROKEE'S WITH SEVERAL PICS AND BOTH VEHICLE'S V.I.N.# INFORMATION. MY 1995 JEEP WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW BY MY LATE FATHER AND AFTER 23 YEARS OF USE IT ONLY HAS 113K ORIGINAL MILES ON IT. THIS JEEP REMAINS A STRONG GARAGE KEPT O.E.M. MATCHING NUMBERS #3 CAR NOT A #1 CONCOURS. I AM AFRAID IF I USE THE SWITCH SOONER OR LATER IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE AS A RESULT OF THIS FLAW DESIGN. I HAVE EVERY MAINTENANCE RECEIPT INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL SALES STICKER AND ALL DOCUMENTS FROM ITS BIRTH IN 1995. THE VEHICLE SINCE BIRTH HAS HAD ZERO MODIFICATIONS DONE TO IT AND HAS BEEN KEPT IN IT'S ORIGINAL CONDITION JUST AS IT ROLLED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE IN 1995. ON JUNE 10, 2018 AT 9.15 PM E.S.T. I SPOKE TO A CUSTOMER CARE JEEP REP AT 877-426-5337 WHO DID ISSUE A CASE # FOR THIS OF 345-103-88. SHE DID ADVISE IT WILL BE SENT UP THRU THE COMPANY'S CHAIN OF COMMUNICATION. I AM HOPING JEEP USA WILL TAKE NOTE OF THIS AND FOLLOW UP AS I DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE MY JEEP THAT IS AND HAS BEEN A KEEPSAKE SACRED FAMILY HEIRLOOM THAT MUST BE PASSED ON. I CAN ONLY HOPE AND PRAY THAT NOBODY ELSE HAS ALREADY HAD SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AS A RESULT OF THIS DESIGN FLAW. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HITCHED TO A TRAILER EQUIPPED WITH INNOVA ULTRA RUNNER TIRES, SIZE: 4.80/4.00X12. WHILE HAULING DIRT IN THE TRAILER AND DRIVING 45 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE TRAILER TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A SPARE TIRE; HOWEVER, APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR LATER, THE DRIVER SIDE TRAILER TIRE BLEW OUT. THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS ALSO REPLACED WITH A SPARE TIRE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V638000 (TIRES), BUT WAS INFORMED BY THE LOCAL HARBOR FREIGHT STORE THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND ONLY OFFERED THE CONTACT A $30.00 GIFT CERTIFICATE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

THE EXAUST BOLTS ARE BROKEN AND THE JEEP IS LOUD THE NOISE JUST STARTED ONE DAY WHEN I STARTED THE JEEP.

THIS VEHICLE HAS WHAT IS CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE. IF YOU HIT A BUMP AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING BECOMES NOTHING MORE THAN A PRAYER. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THIS GET S WORSE. ALL THAT CAN BE DONE IS TO SLOW TO A COMPLETE STOP AS FAST AS YOU. HOT ROD GUYS SEEM TO BE AWARE OF IT BUT. WHAT IF THE REPAIR SHOPS HAVE NO SURE TO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 50 AND 55 WHEN THIS OCCURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: (02V053000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE) MONTHS AGO AND CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENTS, THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP TO PROVIDE AN AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT AND THE DEALER NEVER CALLED TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIRS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT A HIGHWAY RATE OF SPEED OVER UN-LEVELED LAND AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WITH A "DEATH WOBBLE". A MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE RECALL REPAIRS SO THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR THEM TO DETERMINE IF THEY MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION AND ADDRESS THE TWO RECALL REPAIRS WITH THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN ON STREETS OR HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WILL START SHAKING OR WOBBLING VIOLENTLY WHEN IT GOES AT A SPEED OF 45 MILES PER HOUR OR MORE. IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU SLOW OWN OR COME TOA COMPLETE STOP.

BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES (KUMHO SOLUS KR21 P215/75/R15) ON 1-22-15 AT 234545 MILES, ONE REPLACED ON 2/10/15 AT 235216 WITH ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY. NAIL IN SIDEWALL. BY 11/21/2015, NEEDED TO HAVE REAR PASSENGER TIRE TESTED AS IT CONSTANTLY LOSS AIR. PURCHASED SAME BRAND AND SIZE AS SPARE TIRE. NO LEAK REPORTED BY SERVICE STATION, MILEAGE NOT RECORDED ON THEIR FORM. TIRE REPLACED WITH SPARE ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THAT WAS ALWAYS FLAT. AFTER SIX MONTHS OF USE, TIRE SHOWS DAMAGE TO SIDE WALL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE. IT IS VERY HARD FOR SOME OF US TO BUY 5 NEW TIRES AND I WISH I COULD REPLACEMENT OF ALL 5 BECAUSE THIS SIZE TIRE SEEMS TO UNOFFICIALLY BEEN RECALLED, BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE. NO ONE CARRIES THESE SIZE AND BRAND OF TIRES ANYMORE. IS THIS WHY? I AM UNABLE TO LOAD PHOTOS OR SCANNED RECEIPTS BUT DO HAVE THEM AVAILABLE.

CHRYSLER HAD ON OFFER OF GIVING YOU 100 DOLLAR GIFT CARD IF YOU HAVE YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY FIXED DO TO RECALL N45. I HAD REPAIRS DONE ON 10/13/2015, AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY GIFT CARD AS PROMISED. I CALL AND THEY SAID I'M ON THE LIST TO RECEIVE ONE, BUT AGAIN, I HAVE NOT.

WE HAVE A 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS AN EXPOSED PLASTIC GAS TANK IN THE REAR AND IT HAS NO PROTECTION IF REAR-ENDED IT IS A FIRE OR EXPLOSION WAITING TO HAPPEN! THE JEEP DEALER INSTALLED A FLIMSY TRAILER HITCH THAT EXPOSES THE TANK EVEN MORE THAN THE AFTER MARKET HITCH I REMOVED TO GET THE JEEP DEALERS FIX. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AND BELIEVE OUR LIFE IS IN DANGER EVERY TIME WE DRIVE OUR 95 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LERADO. THEY SHOULD INSTALL A STRONGER TANK ALONG WITH A VERY STRONG SKID PLATE THAT BENDS UP BEHIND THE TANK TO ADD TO PROTECTING THE TANK. ALONG WITH A MUCH STRONGER HITCH.

THERE WAS A RECALL RELATING TO COLLISION GAS TANK FIRES. THE JEEP DEALER INSTALLED WHAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY A "TRAILER HITCH", AS A SOLUTION TO THE SAFETY RECALL. WHEN I OFFERED TO PAY FOR AN ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION, OF A JEEP TRAILER HITCH RELATED WIRING HARNESS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE JUST INSTALLED TRAILER HITCH COULD NOT BE USED AS A TRAILER HITCH! SO, MY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ARE "WHAT DID THE JEEP DEALER _REALLY_ INSTALL AND CAN THIS INSTALLED PART BE SAFELY USED AS A REGULAR OR FACTORY/DEALER INSTALLED TRAILER HITCH? ALSO, ACCORDING TO SOME PENNSYLVANIA NEWSPAPER ARTICLES - THERE'S ANOTHER JEEP RECALL RELATING TO COLLISION GAS TANK FIRES. ONLY, THIS TIME THE UNACCEPTABLE "SOLUTION" WILL BE TO "BUY BACK" THE JEEPS FOR SOME DOLLAR AMOUNT ABOVE THE RETAIL/BOOK VALUE. MY DAUGHTER BOUGHT HER JEEP AS A DOCUMENTED "ONE OWNER AND BELOW 40,000 MILES" DEAL. SHE HAS INVESTED SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO ENSURE THE JEEP WAS ROAD WORTHY AND CAPABLE OF BEING DRIVEN OVER 100,000 MILES. WHAT DO YOU ADVISE US/OUR DAUGHTER TO DO? NHTSA PRIOR INQUIRY DIDN'T PROVIDE A FUNCTIONING WEBSITE TO LEARN MY TRACKING NUMBER/ODI.

OUR DAUGHTER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 40,000 DOCUMENTED DRIVEN MILES. SHE HAS SPENT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS REPLACING OLD/RUSTED/UNSAFE SUSPENSION PARTS, WITH THE INTENT OF KEEPING THE VEHICLE FOR MANY/YEARS. THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, THAT I'VE READ, REPORT THAT SHE MAY ONLY BE PAID AN ADDITIONAL $ 1,000.00 ABOVE CURRENT RETAIL VALUE. SHE DOES NOT WISH TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE FOR SUCH A SMALL DOLLAR AMOUNT, BUT WANTS THE VEHICLE CORRECTLY REPAIRED SO THAT SHE MAY CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. WHAT OPTIONS, RELATIVE TO KEEPING THIS VEHICLE, DOES SHE HAVE? SHOULD SHE SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM ANY FEDERAL/STATE/LOCAL AGENCIES? YOUR ASSISTANCE/GUIDANCE WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED. I AM FILING THIS STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF OUR DAUGHTER, WHO OWNS THE JEEP.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED ON THE FREEWAY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157K

WE WENT TO STERNBERG (JEEP DEALER) IN JASPER INDIANA TO GET THE RECALL PROBLEM FIXED AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS TOO RUSTED AND THEY COULD NOT DO THE NEEDED REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THE RUST. THEY DID NOT GIVE US ANY OPTIONS AS TO HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK. WE HAVE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. WE CAN NOT SELL THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT CAN NOT BE FIXED. SO WE WILL BE DRIVING AROUND WITH A VEHICLE THAT COULD EXPLODE OR CATCH FIRE IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM VERY UPSET BY THIS AND I REALLY THOUGHT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD DO MORE TO HELP THE AVERAGE CONSUMER. I DO KNOW THAT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MYSELF OR MY FAMILY OR MY DOGS MY ATTORNEY WILL BE CONTACTING YOU AND THE JEEP MANUFACTURER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW THIS CAN BE REMEDIED SO NO ONE IN MY FAMILY IS INJURED BY THIS VEHICLE AND NOT DRIVING IT IS NOT AN OPTION. I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE THE CASE WITH MOST OF AMERICANS AS EMPLOYMENT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO GET RIGHT NOW.

UPDATED 09/01/2015*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WASN'T TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED TAKING THEIR VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND REPLACED CRANK SENSORS, CAM SENSORS, DISTRIBUTOR PARTS, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM TO PERSIST. UPDATED 12/7/2015 *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE 210 FWY EAST NEAR THE HILL STREET OFF-RAMP IN PASADENA-CA THE CAR'S FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE & BOUNCE VIOLENTLY WHILE WOBBLING TOWARDS THE RIGHT. IT FELT AS OF THE CAR WOULD FALL APART AND WE (OCCUPANTS) WERE VERY SCARED. AFTER REDUCING MY SPEED TO ABOUT 35MPH THE SHAKING/BOUNCING STOPPED AND EVERYTHING SEEMED BACK TO NORMAL. I CHECKED THE WEB TO SEE IF ANY ONE ELSE HAD EXPERIENCED THESE PROBLEMS. TO MY SURPRISE THE INTERNET HAS NUMEROUS ENTRIES OF PEOPLE IN JEEPS EXPERIENCING EXACTLY THE SAME AND NAMING IT THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE SITES SUGGEST DIFFERENT CURES BUT AFTER REPLACING ALL FRONT SHOCKS, STEERING HOUSING, STEERING DAMPERS AND ALL SUSPENSION BUSHINGS AND REPLACING TIRES AND HAVING ALIGNMENT CHECKED THE PROBLEM REMAINED AS I EXPERIENCED IT TWICE MORE AFTER ALL THE WORK WAS DONE. ON 04/08/'15 I TOOK THE CAR TO ALHAMBRA CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" SO I HANDED THEM AN INTERNET PRINTOUT CLEARLY EXPLAINING THE SYMPTOMS. AFTER INSPECTION THE WORKORDER LISTED THE REAR SHOCKS NEEDING IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT AND FRONT SUSPENSION TO "MAY FUTURE ATTENTION". SINCE EVERYTHING ON FRONT SUSPENSION HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED I WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED THE REAR SHOCKS AND DOUBLE CHECKED ALL SUSPENSION FASTENERS, BALL JOINTS AND WHEELBEARINGS. STILL THE PROBLEM, THE DEATH WOBBLE", OCCURRED ONCE MORE. BASED ON THE INTERNET LISTINGS MY CASE IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND SINCE DURING THE WOBBLE THE CAR IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND MOVES EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT AN ACCIDENT IS SURE TO HAPPEN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. BY THE WAY I AM AN ASA MASTER TECH, CERTIFIED IN ENGINES, TRANSMISSIONS (MANUAL & AUTOMATIC), SUSPENSION, BRAKES, A/C AND BODY AND KNOW HOW TO WORK ON CARS. THIS PROBLEM BAFFLES ME. THANK YOU. *TR

REPETITIVE "DEATH WOBBLE." FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN MOTIVATED BY BUMP OR ROAD VIBRATION.

IT ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS SHIFTING GEARS BUT IT ISN'T, THEN WITHIN 5 MILES IT DIES. WE HAVE REPLACED PLUGS, WIRES, BATTERY, ALL KINDS OF SENSORS, THE COMPUTERS AND STILL IT WILL NOT GO 10 MILES BEFORE SHUTDOWN. THEN I HAVE TO WAIT 15 MINUTES, BEFORE IT WILL START BACK UP TO EVEN GO DOWN THE ROAD. I LIVE 30 MILES FROM A DEALERSHIP TO EVEN HAVE IT PUT ON THE COMPUTER. IT WOULD TAKE ME ALL DAY TO DRIVE IT TO GET THERE JUST TO HOPEFULLY FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TRYING THIS PART AND THAT PART JUST TO EVEN TRY TO GET TO WORK. WHEN IT IS BELOW 65 DEGREES OUTSIDE THEN I CAN DRIVE IT UPTO 20 MILES, BUT THAT IS EVEN TAKING A CHANCE IN GETTING STRANDED. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER MECHANISM DESIGN DEFECT: IN RAIN AND SLUSHY SNOW MY PASSENGER SIDE (PS) WINDOW CONSISTENTLY REMAINS CLEARER THAN THE DRIVER'S SIDE (DS). THERE IS A WATER STREAK (OR ICE STREAK) FOLLOWING THE DS WIPER AT EYE LEVEL THAT CHANGING WIPERS OR WIPER PRESSURE (BENDING THE ARM) WON'T FIX. I'VE DETERMINED THIS IS BECAUSE THE WIPERS START DOWN TO THE RIGHT AND SWING UP TO THE LEFT. THE DS WIPER PICKS UP WATER AND LEAVES IT VERTICALLY TO THE LEFT WHERE IT CAN BLOW AWAY. THE PS WIPER LEAVES A VERTICAL DEPOSIT IN THE DS. THE DS WIPER THAN SWEEPS THAT DOWN WHERE IT CANNOT BE BLOWN OFF READILY. IN RAIN, THIS PUDDLE GETS SUCKED UP BEHIND THE DS WIPER LEAVING A TRAIL OF WATER AT EYE LEVEL. NOW THINK SNOWBALLS: IN SNOW, THE DS WIPER COMPACTS THIS DEPOSIT INTO A PILE OF ICE AT THE DS WINDSHIELD BOTTOM. THIS BUILDUP LIFTS THE WIPER AND ALSO LEAVES A CLUMP OF ICE ON IT THAT THEN LEAVES A STREAK OF UN-WIPED SNOW, AGAIN AT EYE LEVEL. EVENTUALLY IN SNOW THIS BUILDUP WILL SPREAD AND COVER THE WHOLE DS TEMPTING THE DRIVER TO DRIVE WHILE LOOKING THROUGH THE PS, UNTIL A SAFE PLACE CAN BE FOUND TO EXIT AND MANUALLY SCRAPE THE WINDSHIELD. IN A RECENT BLIZZARD ON A LONELY RURAL INTERSTATE I WAS IN, ALL DRIVERS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND STOPPING IN WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WAS VERY DANGEROUS WITH MANY VEHICLES SPUN OUT OR JACKKNIFED OR STUCK IN THE DITCH OR COLLIDING. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE GREATLY IMPROVED IF NOT COMPLETELY ELIMINATED BY REVERSING THE SWING OF THE WIPERS. I CAN'T SEE WHY THIS WOULDN'T WORK AS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE SEEMS TO BE CLEANING THE UPPER LEFT OF THE DS WHICH ISN'T NEEDED FOR PROPER DRIVING AND USUALLY HAS AN OIL CHANGE STICKER ANYWAY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL AMERICAN CARS. DO BRITISH CARS REVERSE THE DIRECTION? I FILE THIS COMPLAINT AND FORM THIS CONCLUSION FROM MY EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE AS A FORENSIC ENGINEER. *TR

3-08-2010 WE HAVE A FIRST YEARS TRUE FIT CONVERTIBLE CAR SEAT WITH A DOM OF 7-16-2008, BOUGHT IN 4-2009. WE DO NOT USE THE LATCH SYSTEM SO THE TOP HOOK STAYS CONNECTED TO THE SEAT AND NOT TOUCHED OTHER THAN A NORMAL BUMP WHEN INSTALLING THE SEAT. ON 2-21-10 I NOTICED THE TOP LATCH HOOK WAS OFF OF THE CAR SEAT. WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT BACK ON THE SEAT I NOTICED THAT THE THIN PART OF THE HOOK NO LONGER WAS MEETING THE FAT PART AND WOULD NOT STAY ON THE SEAT. I PUT THE CLIP BACK ON THE SEAT AND INSTALLED THE SEAT IN THE CAR. ONCE WE TOOK THE SEAT BACK OUT OF THE CAR WE NOTICED THE CLIP ONCE AGAIN WAS OFF THE SEAT, ALL IT TOOK WAS A BUMP ON THE CLIP FOR IT TO COME OFF. I CALLED LEARNING CURVE ABOUT IT AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION THAT THE CLIP WAS NO LONGER STAYING WHERE IT NEEDS TO AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD MAIL ME A "RETAINER CLIP" AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL. PHONE CALL WAS ON 3-5-210, SO HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THIS CLIP AND UNKNOWN IF IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=1995, MAKE=JEEP, MODEL=GRAND CHEROKEE). *TR

I'VE TAKEN ALL 'PROPER' COMPLAINT STEPS W/ DEALERSHIPS & D-C HEADQUARTERS, BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY TYPE OF PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PERSONALLY DEMONSTRATED IT TO THEM.

OR PUBLIC TO KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM W/THEIR SAFETY RECALL 'FIX,' OR THEIR FACTORY MECHANICS ARE INCOMPETENT &/OR CARELESS, OR PROBABLY BOTH.

I WAS READING CODE 30126, USED MOTOR VEHICLES. IT IS NOT SPECIFIC ABOUT WHICH SAFETY HAZARDS ARE ENFORCED BY THE LAW. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT GIVES A DEALER A RIGHT TO SELL A USED VEHICLE WHICH HAS A BENT AND CRACKED FRAME AND A CLEAN TITLE. NO "AS IS " SALE SHOULD BE A JUSTIFICATION FOR LACK OF SAFETY REGARDING HUMAN LIFE. HE WILL NOT REFUND MY MONEY. IS THIS LEGAL? WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU. *JB

PLEASE NOTE: MY BROTHER IN LAW ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE JEEP FROM SAID DEALER. I IN TURN PURCHASED THE JEEP FROM HIM IN JUNE 2001. DECEMBER 8, 2002 I HAD GONE TO THE GROCERY STORE IN MY HOMETOWN OF PEARLAND, TEXAS. AFTER SHOPPING I WENT TO PUT THE GROCERIES IN THE BACK OF THE JEEP. I LIFTED THE LIFTGATE OR HATCBACK WHICHEVER THEY REFER TO IT. I THEN STARTED UNLOADING THE GROCERIES. AS I LEANED INTO THE VEHICLE TO PUT GROCERIES IN, I WAS STANDING UP AND COMING BACK OUT TO RETRIEVE MORE GROCERIES. AT THAT TIME WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE LIFTGATE JUST GAVE WAY AND IT WAS NOT A SLOW DESCEND, IT WAS AS IF THE HYDRAULICS HAD GONE OUT COMPLETELY. THEREFORE THE LIFGATE HIT ME ON THE CROWN OF MY HEAD. I WAS A LITTLE DAZED, AND I PUT MY HAND ON TOP OF MY HEAD TO FEEL FOR BIG KNOT AND WHEN I CAME DOWN WITH MY HAND IT WAS COVERED IN BLOOD. A LADY FINISHED LOADING MY GROCERIES, AND LOCKED MY VEHICLE. I WAS TAKEN INSIDE THE STORE ANY OUR CITY EMS WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE. THEY CHECKED ME OUT AND GAVE ME THE OPTION OF GOING TO THE HOSPITAL OR MY LOCAL PHYSICIAN, WHICH I CHOOSE MY DOCTOR OVER SITTING IN A WAITING ROOM FOR HOURS. UPON SEEING MY DOCTOR I WAS REQUIRED 3 STITCHES TO MY HEAD DUE TO THE INJURY. SO NOW I WILL NOT EVEN OPEN THE LIFGATE FOR FEAR I WILL BE HURT AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND ON THE DEALERSHIP AND I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECTIN THE HYDRAULICS. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS SIGNS INDICATING SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN, AND THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MANUAL THAT TELLS YOU HYRAULICS NEED TO BE CHACKED AFTER SO MANY MILES, ETC. I WOULD LIKE JEEP TO PAY TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FEIXED AND ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FRO DOCTORS VISIT BY THEM. I THINK THIS IS ONLY FAIR. AS WELL AS LETTING OTHERS KNOW THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES AS WELL. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH AN ELDERLY OR SMALL CHILD. I CAN SAY IT SCARED ME BAD. AND I AM VERY LUCKY I WAS NOT HURT WORSE. ANY INFORMATION I CAN GET FROM YOU WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. DEALER DETERMINED THERE WAS DEBRIS IN THE FUEL TANK, BOTH TANK AND FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. TS

SAFETY RECALL WARNING B02 SHIFT DETENT FIX CAUSED NEW ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. (1.) SHIFT MECHANISM BINDS, BUT DON'T APPEAR TO HAVE POSITIVE POSITION LOCK INTO PARK INDICATION. BINDING COULD BE A POSSIBLE PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY OR LIMITED STRENGTH. (2.)SHIFT LEVER CAN BE MOVED WITH VERY LITTLE (VIRTUALLY NO) RESISTANCE FROM A REVERSE POSITION, THRU NEUTRAL, AND INTO DRIVE. AN INADVERTANT SHIFT OF SUCH MANNER COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION. (3.)SHIFT LEVER CAN BE MOVED WITH LITTLE (VIRTUALLY NO) RESISTANCE FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ENGINGE OVERSPEED IF INADVERTANTLY OCCURS AND IF IN CRUISE. THIS SUDDEN DISENGAGEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION COULD ALSO CAUSE A SUDDEN SLOW DOWN WITHOUT WARNING TO FOLLOWING TRAFFIC CREATING A HIGHWAY SAFETY HAZARD. DT

PASSENGER SIDE MOTOR MOUNT FAILURE. THREE BOLTS SECURE MOTOR MOUNT BRACKET TO ENGINE BLOCK. ALL THREE SHEARED OFF CAUSING ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY TO SHIFT PUSHING FAN INTO RADIATOR, RUINING BOTH. VEHICLE UNDRIVABLE, REPAIR BILL OVER $500.00 NOT INCLUDING TOWING. THIS OCCURED AFTER DRIVING OVER A MINOR PARKING LOT POT HOLE AT LESS THAN 20 MPH. UPON INSPECTION, TWO OF THE THREE SHEARED OFF BOLT STUDS WERE RUSTY, INDICATING THAT THOSE TWO BOLTS HAD BEEN BROKEN FOR A WHILE. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND CORRECT. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED TO MY KNOWLEDGE, AND NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP OWNERS ON INTERNET HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM (REC.AUTOS.MAKERS.JEEP+WILLYS). SINCE THIS IS NOT A COMMON AUTOMOTIVE FAILURE, SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL MOUNT DESIGN. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS. DT

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS 95 CHEROKEE, THE THREE MOUNT BOLTS FOR THE ENGINE MOUNT HAVE SHEARED TWICE IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER A LADY WROTE IN WHO HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND LOST CONTROL OF HER VEHICLE. I BELIEVE A RESEARCH OF JEEP'S INVENTORY AND SERVICE RECORDS FOR THESE BOLTS I WLL SHOW A HIGH LEVEL OF ACTIVITY THAT SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL TO INSTALL STRONGER BOLTS. THESE BOLTS COULD FAIL IN A INTERSTED CRUSING SCENARIO AND SERIOUSLY INJURY OR KILL THE OCCUPANTS. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN CHEROKEES. I BELIEVE JEEP HAS SWEPT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM UNDER THE RUG, AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF PRODUCTION, BUT A HUGE NUMBER ARE STILL ON THE ROAD. OVER ALL THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST WE HAVE EVER OWNED, EXCEPT FOR THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT UNTIL HAS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED BY THE FACTORY. FYI, THE SECOND SET OF BOLTS INSTALLED THE DEALER WENT WITH NON-OEM BOLTS DUE TO A LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE JEEP BOLTS CALLED OUT IN THE PARTS CATALOG! REGARDS, GEORGE KASEY DT

DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 2,500 CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS AND 30,000 WARRANTY CLAIMS FOR 93-95 JEEPS, APPROXIMATELY 10% OF ALL JEEPS MADE IN THOSE YEARS, FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CALLED BACK AND SPOKE WITH SENIOR STAFF AGENT LUKE ALWARD. ASKED HIM TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE EVER ANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS OR WARRANTY CLAIMS. HE REPLIED THERE HAD NEVER BEEN ANY PROBLEMS, AND WHAT DID I EXPECT WITH AN 8 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 53,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THE DATA THAT DAIMLER HAD PROVIDED TO NHTSA REGARDING 30,000 WARRANTY CLAIMS, HE SAID HE DID NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION. I TOLD HIM I WOULD FAX INFO TO HIM, BUT HE SAID DECISION NOT TO FINANCIALLY REIMBURSE HAD BEEN MADE, AND THERE WAS NO APPEAL PROCESS. I BELIEVE DAIMLER HAS NOT ENGAGED IN FAIR DEALINGS WITH ME. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PART, SINCE OVER 30,000 PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND DAIMLER CLEARLY PUT OUT A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.*AK

A FEW WEEKS AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON MY 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE STARTED TO BE DIFFICULT TO CLOSE. IT QUICKLY GOT WORSE AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THE TOP DOOR HINGE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. IT LOOKED LIKE THE MANUFACTURER'S WELD HAD FAILED. SOON THE ENTIRE UPPER HINGE CAME OFF AND THE DOOR WAS HANGING ON BY THE LOWER HINGE ONLY. I CALLED THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS PROVIDED A COPY OF THEIR TECH SERVICE BULLETIN 23-030-01, WHICH PROVIDED DEALERS WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THIS DEFECT. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND 2 SEPARATE LOCAL BODY SHOPS. ALL THE TECHNICIANS THAT I TALKED TO EXPRESSED DISBELIEF THAT CHRYSLER-JEEP HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THEY HAD REPAIRED MANY SIMILAR DEFECTS PREVIOUSLY. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE DOOR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE WHEN THE DEFECT STARTS AND COULD POSSIBLY FALL OFF THE VEHICLE WHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF REPAIR, WHICH WAS $280.00. I THINK CHRYSLER-JEEP SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL AND PAY FOR REPAIRS TO THIS DEFECT.

WHEN MY JEEP WOULDN'T START, I HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL DEALER (NORCO JEEP,POTTSTOWN,PA). THE FUEL PUMP HAD DRAWN SEDIMENT FROM THE TANK, AND BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE TANK WAS ON BACKORDER TILL 1/15. I RENTED A CAR TO GET TO WORK. I CALLED 1/14 TO CHECK, AND THE BACKORDER WAS NOW TILL 1/31. I CONTACTED OTHER DEALERS. ONE TOLD ME HE REPLACES DOZENS OF TANKS PER WINTER, AND ANOTHER SAID THE TANK HAD BEEN ON BACKORDER SINCE 9/2001. I CONTACTED JEEP BY E-MAIL (REF# 9538888). THEY ASKED TO CONTACT ME BY PHONE. I AGREED. ROBERT WEAVER HAD HIS PARTS DEPT LOCATE A SUITABLE TANK AND CONTACTED MY SVC MANAGER. HE WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A TANK IN THIS AREA, SO I PUT HIM IN TOUCH WITH JEEP IN MICHIGAN, WHO PUT HIM IN TOUCH WITH A PARTS OUTLET THERE, WHICH SHIPPED A TANK THAT PROVED TO BE UNSUITABLE. THE SVC MANAGER CONTACTED THE TANK SUPPLIER, AND THE NEW DELIVERY DATE HAD BEEN PUSHED BACK TO 2/8, AND THERE WERE OVER 135 FUEL TANKS ON ORDER FOR THIS MODEL!! THERE IS APPARENTLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A FILTER TO BE PLACED BETWEEN THE TANK AND THE PUMP, THEREBY ALLOWING SEDIMENT TO FOUL THE PUMP. EVENTUALLY, THE DEALER DISCOVERED A SUITABLE WAY TO CLEAN MY TANK (WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN DONE THE DAY MY JEEP WAS TOWED). SINCE THE FUEL PUMP HAS A 12-MO 12,000 MI WARRANTY, I DECIDED TO CUT MY LOSSES AND HAVE THEM PERFORM THE PROCEDURE. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THE FUEL TANK HAS NEVER BEEN DELIVERED. THERE WERE 3 OTHER JEEPS AT MY DEALER AWAITING TANKS WHEN MINE WAS TOWED IN. I HAVE DRIVEN OVER 3 MILLION MILES IN MY LIFE, MOSTLY IN CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A FUEL TANK THAT DIDN'T HAVE A HOLE IN IT. I STILL OWN A 1968 PLYMOUTH GTX WITH OVER 300,000 MILES THAT HAS NEVER HAD THE TANK REPLACED. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A FLAW IN THE DESIGN, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $1530.00 AND MISS TIME FROM WORK (1.5 DAYS) DUE TO A POOR DESIGN. I FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK 1/24-20 DAYS AFTER IT WAS TOWED. THIS FLAW SHOULD BE A RECALL, AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED.*AK

THE CAR WAS PARKED, AT A CLOSE RANGE, FACING THE THE WALL NEXT TO MY GARAGE DOORS. WHEN IT WAS PUT TO REVERSE IN ORDER TO BACK UP FOR MANEUVERING, THE CAR DROVE FORWARD INSTEAD, HITTING THE WALL. I TRIED A NUMBER OF TIMES TO SET IT ON REVERSE BUT EACH TIME IT WOULD ONLY GO FORWARD. EVEN ON NEUTRAL, IT WOULD GO FORWARD. NO SERIOUS DAMAGE RESULTED BECAUSE THE CAR WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE WALL WHEN IT FIRST WENT FORWARD INSTEAD OF BACKWARDS AND AFTER THAT IT WAS PRESSED AGAINST THE WALL. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER BUT IT WAS CLOSED BECAUSE IT IS A SATURDAY. I DID CONTACT THE DEALER BUT I WAS TOLD THAT "SOMETHING MUST HAVE BROKEN". SINCE I READ SO MANY REPORTS ON INCIDENTS WITH JEEP 1995'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT THIS INCIDENT IMMEDIATELY.*AK

WELDS ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAVE FALLEN, RESULTING IN DOOR HINGES SEPARATING FROM VEHICLE. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

DRIVER SIDE DOOR FELL OFF, THE HINGE WELDED ON JUST BROKE OFF. WHEN I TOOK IT TO DIFFERENT BODY SHOPS FOR PRICES THEY ALL SAID THEY HAVE WELDED DOORS ON JEEPS, ALOT OF JEEPS. AND NOW MY ENGINE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS SHEARED OFF CAUSING ENGINE TO SHIFT FAN BLADE TO CUT INTO THE RADIATOR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A LOUSY MANUFACTURER'S FLAW, WHEN IT IS HAPPENING TO ALOT OF JEEPS, WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO GET IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH BEFORE THERE IS A RECALL. *AK

HINGES CAME UNWELDED WHICH CAUSED DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO COME OFF THE HINGES. PIN SNAPPED IN HALF.*AK

TRANSMISSION IS STILL SLIPPING AND DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY, ALSO TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING ON GARAGE FLOOR, SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE DETENT CABLE.

WHILE DRIVING AND AT AN INTERSECTION WITH FOOT ON BRAKE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AS THE THROTTLE BEING STUCK WIDE OPEN, BUT DID NOT FIX IT. *AK

THE VEHICLE , ON ITS OWN WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, WENT INTO REVERSE WHILE THE DRIVER WAS AT THE REAR HATCH GETTING SOME PERSONAL ITEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE GARAGE AT THE TIME OF THE MISHAP.

THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK OF THE 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS DISCRIBED TO ME AS "DETERIORATING"BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TODAY. THIS DETERIORATION HAS CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO FAIL A NUMBER OF TIMES, WITH SOME OCCURING IN TRAFFIC. THREE FUEL PUMPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE UNDERLYING DETERIORATION OF GAS TANK WAS DISCOVERED. THE TANK DETERIORATION IS CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP FAILURES. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS INSTANCES ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY HAVE YET TO DISCOVER THAT THE FUEL TANK AND NOT THE PUMP IS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. IF THIS TANK IS DETERIORATING, IS IT STILL SAFE IN A REAR END COLLISION. HAVE THERE BEEN INSTANCES OF STALLED JEEPS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS? HAS CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM?

UPON TURNING IGNITION, GEAR WENT FROM PARK TO REVERSE WITHOUT EVER BEING TOUCHED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. *AK *JB

IN VERY COLD WEATHER VEHICLE SHIFTS VERY HARD, RPMS GO UP TO 3000 AND IT TAKES 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. *AK

I HAVE NOW HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE 3 TIMES IN 4 YEARS. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 40 MPH AND ON PAVED ROADS IN GOOD CONDITION. FORTUNATELY, NO INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED AT THIS POINT, BUT THE POSSIBLILTY IS THERE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE NHTSA SITE WHICH CONTAINS MANY OTHER REPORTS (<100) OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING TO OTHER PEOPLE, IN MANY CASES HAPPENING MULTIPLE TIMES LIKE MY CASE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS CASUING THIS PROBLEM.*AK

MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS ON PASSENGER'S SIDE KEEPS BREAKING. LAST TIME THEY BROKE IT WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2000.*AK

UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOP GOING 30 MPH, SHEARED MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS OFF RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE. ENGINE DROPPED AND HIT CHASSIS WITH CLUTCH FAN. RADIATOR, SERPANTINE BELT AND FAN SHROUD ALSO DAMAGED.

RUST DUE TO A/C WATER LEAKS AND LACK OF A HEAT SHIELD OVER THE CONVERTER WILL CAUSE RUST IN THE PASSENGER FLOOR PAN AND THE FRAME MEMBER, CAUSING A COMPRISE IN SAFETY.

I LEFT THE VEHICLE RUNNING ON AN INCLINE TO PUT MY GROCERIES IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN I WENT AROUND TO THE PASSENGR SIDE AND OPENED THE REAR DOOR THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. IT ROLLED BACK AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGES TO BOTH VEHICLES. *AK

CORROSION TO FLOOR PANS ON MORE THAN ONE 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE DUE TO WATER LEAKS. THE FLOOR PANS IN THESE JEEPS ARE COMPLETLY RUSTED AWAY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRAME RAIL. THE FACT IS THAT THERE ARE HUNDEREDS OF CHEROKEES OUT THERE WITH THIS RUST AND IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THE STRUCTURE OF THE UNITIEZED BODY WILL NOT BE AS RIDGED BECAUSE THE FLOOR IS BASICALLY SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. OBVIOSULY SOME CORROSION MIGHT BE EXPECTED OVER A 5 YEAR PERIOD BUT DUE TO EXCESSIVE MOISTURE LEAKS AND THE HEAT/COOL CYCLE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND EXHAUST UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PAN THE COROSSION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN EVEN WORSE. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR PHOTOS OF VEHICLES.*AK

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH WHEN REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. GLASS HAD SHATTERED. NOTHING HAD HIT IT.*AK

THE RETAINER ON THE SHIFT LINKAGE INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION BODY CAN FALL OFF OR FAIL AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT LOCK IN PARK. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE OPERATOR CAN PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND THINK THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCKED UP BUT IT IS NOT. THEN THE OPERATOR CAN GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IF IT IS ON ANY INCLINE AT ALL THE VEHICLE CAN AND WILL ROLL AWAY OUT OF CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AT THE EXACT MOMENT THAT I WAS ABOUT TO WALK BETWEEN THE REAR OF MY TRUCK AND THE FRONT OF THE FOREMENTIONED JEEP CHEROKEE. IF I HAD NOT SEEN IT START ROLLING I WOULD OF HAD BOTH MY LEGS CRUSHED BETWEEN THE TWO BUMPERS. AS IT WAS I JUMPED BACK AND WATCHED THE JEEP ROLL INTO MY TRUCK. IT DIDN'T HIT HARD ENOUGH TO DAMAGE EITHER VEHICLE BUT IF I HAD BEEN BETWEEN THEM THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAD CUT MY LEGS OFF. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO LOUISBURG GARAGE, CUBA CITY, WI. TO BE REPAIRED AND THEY WERE THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE VALVE BODY FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO REPAIR THE LINKAGE. THEY WERE THE ONES WHO TOLD ME THAT THE RETAINER HAD FAILED. IF THIS HAPPENS TO ANYBODY ELSE THE RESULTS COULD BE DISASTROUS WITH MAYBE SOMEONE GETTING MAIMED OR KILLED.*AK

MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS A MAJOR OVERHAUL AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND. IT WAS REPLACED AT 21000 MILES AND NOW, LESS THAN 40000 MILES LATER IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACED THE MANUFACTURE AND THEY REFUSE ACKNOWLEDGE ANY TYPE OF DESIGN PROBLEM. SINCE I HAVE EXCEEDED THE MFG WARRANTY, THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME. I RESEARCHED IN NHTSA AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS IS BECOMING COSTLY.*AK

HAD VEHICLE IN "PARK" STANDING IN FRONT OF VEHICLE BY GARAGE FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES WHEN NOTICED JEEP GOING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND CHASED AFTER BUT GOT ACROSS STREET TO TREE ALONG CURB AND CRASHED INTO.

IN REGARDS TO YOUR ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE WHEN IDELING, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, APPROX. 4 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME, WHEN PARKED ON MY LEVEL DRIVEWAY, THE SECOND, WHEN SITTING IN A MCDONALD'S DRIVE-THRU LINE, ALSO LEVEL. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND NO DAMAGE FROM HITTING OTHER OBJECTS, BUT IT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. NOW, I PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON WHEN I IDLE IN PARK FOR LONG PERIODS. I CALLED A JEEP DEALER ABOUT IT, AND THEY SAID "I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION". PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE GET HURT OR KILLED. *AK

I HAVE PROVIDED THE DETAILS, DUE TO A NEWS ARTICLE THAT I HAVE JUST READ, THAT THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING A POSSIBLE DEFECT WITH THE 1995 MODEL OF THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE INADVERTENTLY GOING INTO REVERSE. ON THE MORNING OF 12/20/1994 @ 5.30 AM IT WAS VERY COLD, AND I DROVE MY JEEP OUT OF THE GARAGE, PUT IT INTO PARK, AND GOT OUT OF MY JEEP TO CLOSE THE GARAGE DOORS, LEAVING MY DRIVERS DOOR OPEN, AND AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE I HEARD THE JEEP'S ENGINE TONE CHANGE, LOOKED UP TO SEE THE JEEP REVERSING BACK, I JUST MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, AND THE JEEP CAME BACK INTO THE GARAGE, REMOVING THE OPEN DRIVERS DOOR. I REACHED IN AS IT WAS MOVING AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. I KNEW THE VEHICLE HAD A PROBLEM, AND IT WAS LOOKED AT BY BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER, WHO REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH TODAY I NO LONGER OWN THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER HAS ALL THE COMPLAINT DETAILS. ABOUT 1 YEAR LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN IN A CAR PARK WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND I PULLED INTO A CAR PARKING BAY, PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILEST WE SAT IN THE CAR AND TALKED, SUDDENLY AFTER ABOUT 30 SECS THE JEEP STARTED TO MOVE BACK. AGAIN I QUICKLY TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. AGAIN I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, WHO REMEMBERED THE SAME PROBLEM EARLIER, BUT STATED THAT JEEP HAD NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL IF THERE WAS AN PROBLEM, SO ONCE AGAIN THEY JUST PAST IT OFF AS MISOPERATION ON MY PART. I WOULD BE EXTREMELY PLEASED TO SUPPORT THE NHTSA WITH ANY FURTHER HELP/INFO, DUE TO MY EXPERIENCE, I KNOW A REAL DEFECT EXISTS WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR OF JEEP.*AK

THE IGNITION SWITCH BURNT UP. REPLACE WITH ANOTHER ONE AND IT IS BURNING UP. REPLACED BLOWER MOTOR AND IGNITION SWITCH. THIS HAPPEN WHEN A/C WAS ON AND BLOWER AT MAXIMUM. LEAVING BLOWER AT LOW WIRES GETS WARM. HIGH START TO MELT. I AM AFRAID OF MY FAMILY INCASE OF A FIRE. I READ THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS REPORTED I CONTACTED A DEALER AND THERE IS NO RECALL. WHY? *AK

ONE HINGE OF DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR IS COMPLETELY DETACHED, THE OTHER IS COMING LOOSE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL YEAR OF THE CHEROKEE. AT MODERATE TO HIGH SPEEDS, THE DOOR SHAKES AND RATTLES, AND THE NISE IS DEAFENING. DOOR ALSO LEAKS NOW WHEN IT IS RAINING, THERE NOW IS WATER DAMAGE TO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PROP UP THE TAILGATE DOOR WITH A BROOM HANDLE SINCE THAT PIECE FAILED, THIS HANDLE COULD EASILY BECOME DISLODGED DURING LOADING AND SEVERELY INJURE ANYONE STANDING BENEATH THE DOOR.*AK

I HAVE A 1995 CHEROKEE 4X4 "SPORT" MODEL... I'VE MANAGED TO BREAK AT LEAST 4 SETS OF MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS SINCE I BOUGHT (NEW) THE VEHICLE... I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE VEHICLE IS A LEMON, BUT THE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS DO HAVE A CERTAIN CITRUS FLAVOR TO THEM... UP UNTIL THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, CHRYSLER HAS BEEN COVERING THEM AS A WARANTY REPAIR, SO IT HAS JUST BEEN INCONVENIENT AND I HAVE BEEN WILLING TO LIVE WITH THEIR DESIGN DEFECT... THIS TIME, THEY SAY THAT SINCE I HAD OVER 40K MILES ON THE LAST SET OF BOLTS, THEN THEY WOULD NOT COVER THEM... DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILES I'VE BEEN DRIVING WITH THEM BROKEN SINCE THE CENTER ONE WAS STILL IN THERE, SO THE ENGINE DID NOT DROP DOWN LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES AFTER THE BOLTS SHEAR OFF... I ONLY NOTICED IT THIS TIME WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT THE RADIATOR IS LEAKING... I'M LOOKING AT A $800-900 REPAIR FOR BOTH ITEMS... WHEN THIS LAST OCCURRED, I CALLED THE CHRYSLER SERVICE LINE AND STARTED UP A "CARE" ISSUE WITH THEM, GIVING THEM ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I HAD ON THE PROBLEM... THEY DIDN'T SEEM ALL THAT CONCERNED WITH FINDING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND SINCE IT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 12 MONTHS / 12,000 MILES SINCE THE LAST MOTOR MOUNT BOLT REPLACEMENT, THEY WOULD COVER IT AS A WARRANTY REPAIR... I SUSPECT THAT CHRYSLER BELIEVES THAT IT IS CHEAPER TO JUST KEEP REPAIRING THE SYMPTOMS INSTEAD OF DETERMINING THE ACTUAL PROBLEM... UNFORTUNATELY, THIS TIME, THEY ARE MAKING ME PAY FOR THEIR DESIGN DEFECT. *AK

THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS COMING OFF THE HINGE - IT'S A RECALL BUT CHRYSLER SAID I HAVE TO BE THE ORIGINAL OWNER & WON'T PAY TO FIX.*AK

I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO INSPECT MANY GRAND CHEROKEES AND NOTICE THAT THE MAJORITY PRE 1996 HAD LEAKAGE PROBLEMS. THOSE PROBLEMS WERE EITHER WITH THE TRANSMISSION SEALS LEAKING OR ENGINE SEALS LEAKING.

THIS CRACK IS PERVASIVE WITH 91-97 JEEPS. ALL DEALERSHIP AND PRIVATE-LABEL MECHANICS ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. JEEP IS AWARE OF IT BECAUSE IN SEVERAL STATES (INCL. CA) THEY INCREASED THE WARRATNY TO 80,000 MILES FOR THE EXHAUST, AND BEGINNING WITH 97 JEEP MODELS, BEGAN USING BETTER QUALITY MATERIALS FOR THE EXHAUST. THE PROBLEM IS FRACTURE CRACKS CAUSED BY UNEVEN CONTRACTION/EXPANSION DUE TO HEAT/COLD. THE PROCESS IS UNEVEN BECAUSE THE METAL USED FOR THE EXHAUST IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE QUALITY. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN INHERENT DEFECT AND THUS IS A BREACH OF JEEP'S IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHATABILITY FOR JEEP. CONSEQUENTLY, I'M ASKING NHTSA'S ASSISTANCE IN FORCING JEEP TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES.

DEFECTIVE DRIVER AND REAR SEAT BELT

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD HEARD A LOUD BANG,FOLLOWED BY LOUD RUBBING SOUND FROM THE FAN.HARD FLUTTER IN ACCELERATION.THE MOTOR MOUNT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE ENGINE. UPON A VISUAL IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE TOP TWO BOLTS HAD BROKEN OFF PREVIOUSLY DUE TO DIRT BUILD UP AND RUST.THE BOTTOM BOLT HAD BROKEN FROM THE STRESS OF THE TWO PREVIOUSLY BROKEN BOLTS WHICH CAUSED THE MOTOR TO TILT.ALL THREE BOLTS HAD BROKEN OFF INSIDE THE MOTOR.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATLEY 65MPH A LOAD KNOCK AND VIBRATION BEGAN IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I PULLED OF THE ROAD AND NOTHING APPEARED TO BE LEAKING SO I CONTINUED. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE ALRIGHT UNTIL THE STEERING BECAME LOOSE AND A TERRIBLE SMELL STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE DIFFERENTIAL APPARENTLY HAS OVERHEATED AND BEGAN TO RELEASE THE OIL ONTO THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE DEALER MECHANIC FIRST THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CV JOINTS AND AXLES, HE REPLACED THEM FOR $500. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED! THEN HE REPLACED THE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLIES WHEN A NOISE, CONSISTENT WITH THE VEHICLE SPEED STARTED. THAT WAS ANOTHER $500! I HAVE NOW SPENT $1000 AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED AND APPARENTLY THIS IS PROBLEM MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED. IT IS TIME THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM!

WHEN I START MY JEEP, IT ACCELERATES FAST, SOMETIME WHEN I AM SHIFTING IT ACCELARATES FAST. *AK

3 ENGINE MOUNTS SHEARED DURING NORMAL USE. THIS JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN USED OFF-ROAD. ITS VERY DANGEROUS - SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.*AK

I HAVE RESEARCHED MY PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH QUADRA-TRAC 4WD SYSTEM ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE LONG ENOUGH TO BRING IT UP TO OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE TRANSFER CASE WILL CLUNK AND CAUSE THE FRONT END TO BIND WHENEVER I TRY TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. THE PROBLEM CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO A COMPONENT CALLED THE VISCOUS COUPLING IN THE VEHICLE'S TRANSFER CASE. IT SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON IN THE 93-97 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ERA. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AND EXPERIENCED, THE PROBLEM CAN BEGIN ON VEHICLES WITH AS LITTLE AS 57,000 MILES ON THEM. MINE IN PARTICULAR BEGAN AT ABOUT 75,000 MILES. WHEN THE JEEP IS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE BINDING AND NOISE IS BLAMED ON SOME OTHER COMPONENT (I.E. CV JOINTS, FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, OR SOME OTHER PART) PROBABLY DUE TO COMPLACENCY AND/OR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE MECHANIC. THIS CAN BE VERY COSTLY AS THE AVERAGE PERSON ENDS UP REPLACING AND PAYING FOR COMPONENTS THAT ARE STILL SERVICEABLE. IT CAN ALSO BE UNSAFE AS IT CAN LEAVE SOMEONE UNEXPECTEDLY STRANDED. AFTER RESEARCH, HOURS OF ENDLESS POKING AROUND MY VEHICLE, AND FINDING OUT WHAT THE ACTUAL CULPRIT WAS I FOUND THAT PRICES RANGED ANYWHERE FROM $600.00 FOR THE VISCOUS COUPLING IN THE TRANSFER CASE TO $1600.00 FOR THE TRANSFER CASE ITSELF. PLEASE REFER TO THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE FOR ONE OF MANY EXAMPLES: HTTP://FORUMS.VMAG.COM/JJGRANDCHEROKEE0499/MESSAGES/6255.HTML I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BY CHRYSLER, I.E RECALL, IMPROVE THE QUADRA-TRAC SYSTEM FOR THAT ERA, OR OTHERWISE. THEY TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES TO RECALL A FEW JEEPS TO REPLACE BRAKE ROTORS FOR CORROSION AND SEPARATION. WHY WASN'T SOMETHING PUT INTO PLACE FOR THE QUADRA-TRAC 4WD TRANSFER CASE AS WELL? I HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOUR WEB PAGE IS DESIGNED FOR. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT TO EXPECT OUT OF THIS, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. LLOYD. *AK

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP CHEROKEE LAST FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2000, I HEARD A SUDDEN AND DRASTIC CHANGE IN ENGINE NOISE. THE THREE BOLTS SECURING THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE MOUNT TO THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD SHEARED OFF IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE ENGINE HAD SHIFTED SO FAR IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT THE FAN BLADES HAD STRUCK THE FAN HOUSING AND SEIZED UP, BREAKING ONE OF THE BLADES OFF. SINCE FRIDAY, I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHEROKEES - THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE MOUNT BOLTS SHEARING OFF UNDER NORMAL USE. WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE? I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO HAVE USED THIS FORM TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT. IS JEEP GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT?

I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED. WHILE HAVING MY JEEP SERVICED ONE DAY, I ASKED AT THE GARAGE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE HINGE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS TEARING LOOSE FROM THE CAR BODY. BECAUSE IT WAS A HINGE WELD, THEY DAID THAT THEY COULDN'T REPAIR IT. I INQUIRED AT A BODY SHOP, AND THEY SAID THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST 400 DOLLARS. I LATER FOUND ON AN INTERNET SITE DISCUSSING SAFETY REACALLS AND ISSUES ABOUT CAR PROBLEMS THAT MANY 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT DOORS HAD ACTUALLY FALLEN OFF AND IN ONE CASE BOTH DOORS WERE AFFECTED. I CONTACTED DAINLER CHRYSLER TWICE, EVEN WRITING TO SCHRAMM. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD TOO BAD, THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.*AK

FAULTY DESIGN--SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO #'S OF OCCURENCES--VISCOUS COUPLER--CAUSES HARD STEERING AFTER EXTENDED TRAVEL TIMES--CAUSES 4WD TO ENGAGE WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS, VEHICLE DAMAGE, INJURY AND DEATH. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *AK

DATING BACK TO 2 YEARS AGO, I HAD A JEEP DEALER CHECK THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR A "FLUTTERY" NOISE, WHICH I THOUGHT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXHAUST LEAK. IT WAS CHECKED AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY. FOUR MONTHS LATER I TOOK THE JEEP BACK DUE THE PROBLEM NEVER HAVING BEEN FIXED. THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT AND TIGHTENED THE EXHAUST CLAMPS. THIS MADE NO DIFFERENCE, BUT I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND TOOK THE FLUTTERY NOISE AS THE "NORMAL" ENGINE/EXHAUST NOISE JEEP MAKES. RECENTLY I TOOK MY JEEP TO HAVE VARIOUS FLUID LEAKS REPAIRED ($500 WORTH) AT MY COST, AT WHICH TIME THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED AND WOULD COST $1,000 (EST.) TO REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT NO WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT AND SINCE I HAD CLOSE TO 90,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE I DIDN'T HAVE OPTIONS TO HAVE JEEP TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE NOISE I HAVE BEEN HEARING ALL ALONG HAS BEEN A CRACKED MANIFOLD, SO THE PROBLEM FIRST MANIFESTED ITSELF WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD 52,000 MILES. THIS JUST DOES NOT SEEM WHAT ONE SHOULD EXPECT FROM A VEHICLE AT 52,000 MILES. I AM LOOKING TO FIND OUT IF THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND WHAT MY RECOURSE OPTIONS ARE.

THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT THE RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT OR A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS COMPLAINT PERTAINS TO THE REPLACEMENT TIRES THAT I PUT ON MY VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO. YESTERDAY (10/3/00) MY JEEP WAS AT MY MECHANIC GETTING TRANSMISSION MAINTENENCE WORK. THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TIRE TREAD WAS SEPARATING FROM THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE AND METAL WAS VISIBLE. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE DAYTON TIRES ON MY VEHICLE ARE THE SAME SIZE AND TYPE AS THE FIRESTONE RECALL. IN FACT THE DOT NUMBERS INDICATE THAT THEY WERE EVEN MANUFACTURED BY FIRESTONE AT THE SAME PLANT AND HAVE THE SAME NOMENCLATURE AS DEPICTED ON THE RECALLED FIRESTONE TIRES. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE TIRE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE TIRES (BUZZ DAVIES, 93 ISLINGTON STREET, PORTSMOUTH , NH 03821; TEL 603-433-1328) AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY TIRES WERE NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL. HE SUGGESTED THAT I COME IN AND THAT HE CAN PRO-RATE THEM. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME. IN MY OPINION THERE ARE TOO MANY SIMILARITIES AS WELL AS AN OBVIOUS TREAD SEPARATION PROBLEM WITH MY TIRES. I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM SO THAT YOU MAY ADD THIS INFORMATION TO YOUR DATABASE FOR THE FIRESTONE RECALL. ADDITIONALLY, OTHERS WITH SIMILAR TIRES TO MINE SHOULD BE MADE ALERT TO THIS PROBLEM SO THAT THEY CAN ELECT TO REMAIN SAFE. I PLAN ON REPLACING THESE TIRES THIS WEEK END, BUT I WILL AND HOLD ONTO THEM UNTIL I CAN BE FULLY REIMBURSED. YOUR HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM IS AND WILL BE APPRECIATED BY MYSELF AND OTHER UNSUSPECTING CONSUMERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED SIMILARLY MANUFACTURED FIRESTONE "NON-BRANDED" TIRES.

IN APRIL 2000 MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TRIBORO IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL THAT CALLED FOR THE ROTORS TO BE REPLACED. IN SEPTEMBER 2000 I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO TRIBORO A UNRELATED REPAIR AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. UPON RETURNING HOME WE REALIZED THAT THE ROTORS WERE "ALLEDGEDLY NEW" HOWEVER A BRAKE REPAIR SHOP RELATED THAT THE ROTORS APPEAR TO BE OLD AND NOT THE NEW COATED ROTORS REQUIRED UNDER THE RECALL. UPON CONTACT WITH TRIBORO AND HAVING THEM CHECK THEIR COMPUTER TO CONFIRM THE "NEW ROTORS" WE WERE TOLD THAT WE PROBABLY WORE THEM OUT WITH BAD PADS. WE TRYED TO REASON WITH THEM IN REGARDS TO THE UNLIKELIHOOD OF NEW ROTORS NEEDING REPLACEMENT AFTER ONLY 10,000 MILES, BUT THEY WERE UN YIELDING. IN CONTACTING THE CHYSLER CORPORATION RECALL DIVISION, WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND GET A ESTIMATE ON THE REPLACEMENT OF BRAKES AND THE CONDITION OF THE ROTORS, AT OUR EXPENSE.

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 3 WEEKS AGO, AT ABOUT 65 MPH, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. I SLOWED DOWN USING THE BRAKE, AND IT CONTINUE TO SHAKE TREMENDOUSLY UNTIL I HAD SLOWED TO APPRX. 30 MPH. THIS HAPPENED ON INTERSTATE I-75, WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC. HAD THERE BEEN MAJOR TRAFFIC, I WOULD HAVE HAD A HARD TIME NOT WREAKING INTO SOMEONE, BECAUSE IT APPEARED TO SHAKE BACK AND FORTH, RATHER THAN UP AND DOWN. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE. UPON INSPECTION, NO APPARENT TIRE PROBLEMS. I WAS ROUGHLY 100 MILES FROM HOME AT THE TIME, SO I CONTINUED ON. THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, HOWEVER, I WAS BETTER PREPARED FOR IT, AND ALTHOUGH I AM NOT QUITE SURE, IT SEEM TO BE THAT MY HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSED IT TO BEGIN THE VIOLENT SHAKING FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE. I PROCEDED AT A MUCH SLOWER PACE, AND DID NOT HAVE A REOCCURRANCE THAT DAY. THE NEXT DAY, MY MECHANIC LOOKED IT OVER, AND COULD NOT FIND ANY APPARENT PROBLEM, AND SAID IT APPEARED TO BE "PRETTY SOLID". HE SAID THAT IT WOULD LIKELY TAKE A MUCH MORE THOROUGH DIS-ASSEMBLY TO FIND THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH HE IS NOT A CHRYSLER DEALER MECHANIC, BUT A CERTIFIED INDEPENDANT, I TRUST HIM IN HIS JUDGEMENT. I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY, MAY 27, AND AGAIN IT HAPPENED. AT 65 MPH, I HIT A BUMP (NOT A MAJOR BUMP, BUT A ROUTINE BUMP ON INTERSTATE), AND IT BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY SIDE-TO-SIDE. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 55 MPH IN ORDER FOR IT NOT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. WHAT AM I TO DO? I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANOTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, AND THAT IT COULD BE RELATED TO A ROTOR RECALL?. *AK

SAID THEY WOULD CALL IF FOUND A SOLUTION BUT HASN'T CALLED YET. NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. DEALER SAID EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND HARD TO FIND PARTS.

WE HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT. WE PULLED OVER & CHANGED THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE WITH (UNUSED FACTORY SUPPLIED SPARE). TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE TO FACTORY SPEC. THEN DROVE A TOTAL OF APROXIMATELY 25-28 MILES. OWNERS MANUAL SAID DRIVE 50 MILES AN HOUR AND LESS THAN 50 MILES DISTANCE. APPROX 10 MILES FROM THE FLAT, THERE WAS A STRANGE SMELL AND THE JEEP STARTED SURGING. WE PULLED OVER AT ABOUT TEN AND TWENTY MILE DISTANCES TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING WASN'T LEAKING OR RUBBING UNDER THE VEHICLE. FINDING NOTHING WE PROCEDED TO DRIVE HOME. WHEN WE GOT HOME THERE WAS A OIL/GREASE LOOKING MATERIAL RUNNING OUT FROM THE FRONT DRIVERSIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP THE NEXT DAY. THE SHOP OWNER SAID THE TRANSFER CASE HAD OVERHEATED AND BLOWN THE GREASE OUT INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. HE THEN CALLED THE NEAREST JEEP DEALER APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES. THEIR SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT SOME OF THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES HAD BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE THE SPARE TIRE WAS NOT TO BE USED. I CALLED THE JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER 7077341, AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TOW THE JEEP TO THE DEALER ON A FLAT BED (TO NOT FURTHER DAMAGE THE VEHICLE) FOR THEM TO INSPECT IT BEFORE THEY WOULD DECIDE TO PAY ANYTHING ON IT. AFTER I DELIVERED IT TO THE RADCLIFF DEALER ON A FLAT TRAILER THEY CALLED BACK AND SAID THAT IT WAS DAMAGED AND THAT THE WOULD SUBMIT THE CLAIM TO CHRYSLER. WE WERE TOLD ON THE 28TH BY THE JEEP DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER THAT JEEP WOULD NOT PAY ANYTHING BECAUSE WE WERE THE THIRD OWNER. THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE BEFORE AND WERE HAPPY WITH IT. NO WHERE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL DID IT STATE THAT YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR VEHICLE IF YOU USE THE SPARE TIRE SUPPLIED BY THE FACTORY. WE DON'T SEE HOW WE COULD BE AT FAULT FOR USING THE EQUIPMENT PROVIDED BY JEEP IN THE MANNER TOLD. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS WELL KNOWN BY JEEP, BUT THEY WILL NOT GIVE ANY HELP ON THE REPAIRS. *AK

RUSTED, DEFECTIVE DISC ROTORS COMPROMISED THE BRAKE'S PERFORMANCE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, ON A TWO LANE ROAD, THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT AHEAD, DRIVERS SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES, BUT MY SON WAS UNABLE TO STOP QUICKLY ENOUGH AND HIT THE '84 VOLVO AHEAD OF HIM. MY SON WAS CITED FOR FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY, ALTHOUGH HE DOES NOT THINK HE WAS FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY. VEHICULAR DAMAGE APPEARED VERY MINOR, BUT THE OTHER DRIVER IS CLAIMING THAT HIS '84 VOLVO IS TOTALED. THE IMPACT WAS AT VERY LOW SPEED. MY SON RECEIVED NO INJURIES, AND HIS AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE OTHER DRIVER COMPLAINED OF A HEADACHE AND BACKACHE, SAW HIS DOCTOR, WAS TREATED WITH NAPROSYN (ALLEVE), AND IS FINE. WE HAD RECEIVED NO INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL THE NEXT DAY (1/21/2000) WHEN IT WAS ANNOUNCED ON CNN. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED. (OUR JEEP WAS AFFECTED BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN HOUSED IN OHIO PRIOR TO 8/99 WHEN WE BOUGHT IT). THE RECEIPT FROM THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL WORK SAYS THE ROTORS WERE DEFECTIVE. AFTER THE NEW ROTORS WERE INSTALLED WE NOTICED A VERY SIGNIGICANT DIFFERENCE IN STOPPING ABILITY. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER, REQUESTED THAT A TEST OF STOPPING TIME/ABILITY WITH THE OLD ROTORS AND WITH THE NEW ROTORS BE DONE, BUT CHRYSLER REFUSED. IF WE HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE RECALL, WE COULD HAVE HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED AND AVOIDED THE ACCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT ROTORS ARE A WEAR ITEM, BUT OBVIOUSLY, RUST CAUSES METAL TO WEAR AND THIN MORE QUICKLY. WE BELIEVE THE RUSTED ROTORS ADVERSELY AFFECTED THE ABILITY OF THE BRAKES TO STOP OUR JEEP QUICKLY ENOUGH IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *AK

I ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE IT HAD 4-WHEEL ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. A FEW WEEKS AGO, FOR THE FIRST TIME, I HAD TO PERFORM A "HARD BRAKE" TO AVOID HITTING THREE DEER. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, I HAD "HARD PEDAL" BUT VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES! I NARROWLY AVOIDED ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND LIMPED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. NOONE COULD UNDERSTAND HOW I COULD HAVE HARD PEDAL WITHOUT BRAKES. (ALL RELAYS PROVED TO BE OKAY.) I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY WERE ASTONISHED TO FIND THAT BOTH ROTORS HAD SEPARATED FROM THEIR HUBS AS THE RESULT OF THE HARD BRAKE. THEY ADVISED THAT THEY THOUGHT IT HAD TO BE A DEFECT IN THE METAL AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER, COOPER MOTORS, IN STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT COOPER MOTORS WAS SO ASTONISHED TO SEE THE SEPARATED PARTS, THAT HE CALLED ALL THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS TO THE COUNTER TO SEE THE PARTS. HOWEVER, MOST OF THEM ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE ON A ROUTINE BASIS. IF JEEP ROTOR ARE SEPARATING FROM THEIR HUBS AND CAUSINIG ACCIDENTS, WHO WOULD KNOW? IF IT WERE DISCOVERED DURING A CRASH INVESTIGATION, IT WOULD BE ASSUMED THAT IT WAS THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE ACCIDENT, WHILE, IN FACT IT MAY ACTUALLY BE THE CAUSE! JEEP'S COMMENTS WERE TO ADVISE ME THAT ROTORS WERE ONLY WARRANTEED TO 10,000 MILES; NO MENTION THAT ONE SHOULD EXPECT ROTORS TO DIS-ATTACH!

WHILE ON VACATION WE SUDDENLY LOST OUR FRONT BRAKES ON BOTH SIDES OF OUR JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. WHEN A LOCAL MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT, HE DISCOVERED THAT BOTH FRONT ROTORS HAD RUSTED AND COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THEMSELVES. THE FLAT LARGER PART THAT THE BRAKE PADS CLINGS TO, WERE NOT ATTACHED TO THE SMALLER PART THAT THE WHEEL IS HOOKED TO. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND WERE UNHURT. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN BOTH ROTORS GO AT THE SAME TIME. UPON QUESTIONING THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THEY RELUNCTENTLY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT PEOPLE WERE NOT NOTIFIED. AFTER SEARCHING YOUR SIGHT, I FOUND SUCH A RECALL, BUT FOR OLDER MODELS. OUR'S IS A 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD. WE ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO COME TO SOME RESOLUTION WITH THE DEALERSHIP, REGARDING OUR REPAIR BILL. WHY ARE OWNERS NOT BEING NOTIFIED OF THESE SAFETY HAZARDS?? PLEASE UPDATE THE RECALL TO EXTEND TO NEWER VEHICLES!! PLEASE CONTACT US WITH FURTHER INFORMATION. THANK YOU. SHANON ALBEE

ENGINE MOUNTS SHEARED OFF WHILE TRAVELING, HAPPENED THREE TIMES

1) THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS NOT CLOSING COMPLETELY. UPON A VISUAL INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT THE HINGE WELD HAS STARTED TO FAIL. I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION WITH THIS PROBLEM. I NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN INVESTIGATION WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. 2) MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE THAT SHE WAS DRIVING WAS HIT IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER JEEP CHEROKEE TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE OTHER VEHICLE JEEP CHEROKEE INVOLVED DID NOT DEPLOY IT'S AIRBAG EITHER. THE DAMAGE TO OUR JEEP CHEROKEE WAS APPROX $3,000 TO REPAIR. I FEEL THAT THE DAMAGE WAS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO WARRANT THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYMENT. IF THERE ARE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME.

ON THIS OCCASION AND A PREVIOUS ONE APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO ACCIDENTS OCCURING ON THE FRONTAL PORTION OF THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG. THE DRIVER STUCK THE WINDSHIELD WITH HIS HEAD AND CRACKED SAME AND BENT THE STEERING WHELL AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT ACTIVATE AND INFLATE. |DAIMLER-CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED IN BOTH INSTANCES AND THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR .

MY SON DRIVER COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED MUCH MORE SERIOUSLY THAT THE BUMPS AND BRUISES FROM EMCOUNTERING THE WINDSHIELD AND STEERING WHEEL. I CONTEND THAT THE SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A SAFE DETERENT IN AN ACCIDENT.
