SEATS
I OWN A 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE. UPON BRINGING IT TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME WHEN HE ORDERED THE PART THE PARTS STORE TOLD HIM THAT THEY HAD A LOT OF THEM BEING ORDERED FOR THAT VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF PERHAPS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND IF IT IS HOW TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE MONEY I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED. *NLM

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
I TOOK MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE A PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE GAS GAUGE FAILING TO REGISTER HOW MUCH GAS I HAD IN MY TANK. I WAS CHARGED $55.00 JUST TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I HAD A DEFECTIVE FLOTATION SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. THE PART IS GOING TO COST $124.00, NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I EXPECT THE REPAIR BILL FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE AT LEAST $200.00, NOT COUNTING THE $55.00 I'VE ALREADY PAID JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE JEEP HAS LESS THAN 52,000 MILES ON IT, SO I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING THIS SOON. I'VE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN LATE MODEL JEEP CHEROKEES, YET THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PUT ON A RECALL LIST (AT LEAST, MINE ISN'T ON A RECALL LIST). I CONTACTED THE JEEP (DAIMLER/CHRYSLER) HEADQUARTERS TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, AND THEY DECLINED. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT I FEEL I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP CHEROKEES. PLUS, THIS VEHICLE HAS TOO LOW OF A MILEAGE TO BE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM.
