AIR BAGS
I HAVE A 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON NOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY I NEED TO PAY FOR A 300.00 CLOCK SPRING PART TO FIX IT. I CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND SEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP AIRBAGS NOT WORKING. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THEM? AND IF NOT IF THERE'S BEEN SO MANY CASES OF PROBLEMS WITH THEM NOT WORKING CORRECTLY IS THERE ANYTHING BEING DONE TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER? THANK YOU

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
I HAVE JUST HAD MY FRONT ROTORS REPLACED TWICE.NOW I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IN ORDER TO RESOLVE A "KNOCKING" NOISE IN THE REAR WHEN BRAKING. I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE MY REAR ROTORS AND REAR AXLES REPLACE. ALSO IT SEEMS AS IF I AM HAVING A FRONT END ALIGNMENT PERFORMED AT LEAST EVERY 3 MONTHS. I AM VERY CONCERNED, BECAUSE THIS 2000 CHEROKEE SPORT IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. I AM THE MOTHER OF TWO YOUNG SONS, SO THIS VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY ON THE GO. I CAN NOT AFFORD ANY MISHAPS ESPECIALLY WHEN MY CHILDREN'S LIVES ARE CONCERNED. PLEASE CONTACT ME @ [email protected]. DT

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
FOR THE PAST MONTH, I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY HOOD TO OPEN TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO VAVOLINE TO SEE IF THE MECHANICS THERE COULD OPEN THE HOOD. THEY WERE ALSO UNABLE TO OPEN THE HOOD. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP, OR THE DEALERSHIP. LATER THAT EVENING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70 MPH, MY HOOD FLEW OPEN. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE IN FRONT OF ME. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VERY DISTURBED BY THIS INCIDENT, I RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THAT DODGE RAMS HAD A RECALL FOR CORROSION OF THE RETURN SPRING ON THE HOOD SECONDARY LATCH THAT COULD CAUSE THE MECHANISM TO BIND IN THE RELEASE POSITION AND THE HOOD COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYLSER REGARDING THE INCIDENT. DT

AT ABOUT 8,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING DOWN FROM BIG BEAR LAKE, THE CAR EXPERIENCED SEVER FRONT END VIBRATION DURING BRAKING HE CAR WAS RETURNED TO TUTTLE-CLICK WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE ROTORS WERE TURNED UNDER WARRANTY. ABOUT 11 MONTHS LATER WHILE RETURNING FROM MY NEXT TRIP TO BIG BEAR THE PROBLEM RECURRED AT 13,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO TUTTLE- CLICK AND THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AS WARPED ROTORS. THIS TIME THEY REFUSED TO TURN THE ROTORS EVEN THOUGH THE 3 YEAR / 30,000 MILE WARRANTY WAS IN EFFECT. THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED DESIGN DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED. *AK
