#714196November 1, 1999
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PAINT ON HOOD, ROOF AND BACK LIFT GATE HAS DISCOLORED AND THE "CLEAR COAT " HAS ERODED AWAY AND IS FLAKING OFF. APPEARANCE OF CAR IS REALLY DISGRACEFUL WITH LARGE AREAS OF PAINT DISCOLORED AND FLAKES OF PAINT OR CLEAR COAT FALLING OFF CONTINUOUSLY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN KEPT GARAGED DURING THE WHOLE TIME OF THIS EXPERIENCE AND THE PAINT CONDITION IS NOT WHAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A LEGITMATE AUTO MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER LISTENS TO MY STORY AND AGREES THAT THE PAINT LOOKS HORRIBLE BUT WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN KEPT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AT ALL TIMES AND IS MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS. THIS TYPE OF DEFECT SHOULD NOT GO UNCORRECTED.

THE FLOOR BOARDS ON THE 1991 JEEP CHEROKEE GET SO HOT THAT THEY ACTUALLY BURN BARE SKIN AND MELT PLASTIC. I'VE HAD THE EXHAUST REPLACED THINKING THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS NOT. IF YOU COULD CHECK INTO THIS AND INFORM ME OF YOUR FINDINGS I WOULD BE VERY THANKFUL. THANK YOU
