ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HEARD THERE HAD BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE BOLTS CONNECTING THE ENGINE TO THE MOTOR MOUNT SHEARING OFF, AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD CHECK FOR A RECALL. THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER ANY EXTRAORDINARY STRESS, BUT THE ENGINE FELL WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE REPAIR OF THE BOLTS ALONE WAS EXPENSIVE, PLUS THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE CASING AROUND MY CLUTCH FAN AND MINOR FLUID LEAKS AS A RESULT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT EXPERIENCED SUDDEN/RAPID ACCELERATION AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE. CHRYSLER CLAIMS DRIVER ERROR, AS IF I DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND PRINCIPAL DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS NOT DRIVER ERROR. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE THIS SITUATION. THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THERE WAS A PRESS RELEASE IN APRIL 97 WITH REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM BUT THE RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1997 , TOO LATE FOR ME WITH AN 8-27-97 INCIDENT. THIS IS NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF CHRYSLER. PLEASE ADVISE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ON THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE MOUNTS BROKE APART AND FELL OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BE PUSHED INTO THE FAN. THE JEEP IS 47 MONTHS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I BELIEVE EITHER THERE WAS A DEFECT OR IT WAS ASSEMBLED WRONG BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE OF 47 MONTHS. SOMEONE WORKING IN THE GARAGE WHERE I HAD THIS FIXED TOLD ME HE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER JEEPS. *AK
