STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE DOORS ARE FALLING OFF MY 1994 JEEP CHEROKEE. ALL THE GLUE SEAMS AT THE DOOR HINGES ARE CRACKED OPEN OR THEY ARE COMPLETELY SEPARATED. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FELL OFF THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT OF A LOCAL STORE. WHAT IF THE DOOR HAD TO BE OPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER? EVERY DOOR OF THE VEHICLE IS SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME. THERE ARE THREE OTHER FAMILIES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF THEIR JEEP'S DOORS FALLING OFF. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
MY DRIVERS DOOR ON MY 1994 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT HAS FALLEN OFF. THERE IS NO RUST OR ROTTING. THE BRACKET MOUNTED TO THE BODY WHICH WAS USED TO WELD THE HINGES, COMPLETELY FELL OFF. THE BRACKET ON THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR IS DOING THE SAME THING. I ALSO KNOW OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AROUND THE SAME YEAR THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED. IF NEED BE, I'LL TRY TO OBTAIN THE OWNER'S INFORMATION. THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. DOORS ON A VEHICLE JUST DON'T FALL OFF WITHOUT DAMAGE, RUST ETC.
