STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
A FEW WEEKS AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON MY 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE STARTED TO BE DIFFICULT TO CLOSE. IT QUICKLY GOT WORSE AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THE TOP DOOR HINGE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. IT LOOKED LIKE THE MANUFACTURER'S WELD HAD FAILED. SOON THE ENTIRE UPPER HINGE CAME OFF AND THE DOOR WAS HANGING ON BY THE LOWER HINGE ONLY. I CALLED THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS PROVIDED A COPY OF THEIR TECH SERVICE BULLETIN 23-030-01, WHICH PROVIDED DEALERS WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THIS DEFECT. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND 2 SEPARATE LOCAL BODY SHOPS. ALL THE TECHNICIANS THAT I TALKED TO EXPRESSED DISBELIEF THAT CHRYSLER-JEEP HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THEY HAD REPAIRED MANY SIMILAR DEFECTS PREVIOUSLY. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE DOOR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE WHEN THE DEFECT STARTS AND COULD POSSIBLY FALL OFF THE VEHICLE WHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF REPAIR, WHICH WAS $280.00. I THINK CHRYSLER-JEEP SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL AND PAY FOR REPAIRS TO THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
DRIVER SIDE DOOR FELL OFF, THE HINGE WELDED ON JUST BROKE OFF. WHEN I TOOK IT TO DIFFERENT BODY SHOPS FOR PRICES THEY ALL SAID THEY HAVE WELDED DOORS ON JEEPS, ALOT OF JEEPS. AND NOW MY ENGINE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS SHEARED OFF CAUSING ENGINE TO SHIFT FAN BLADE TO CUT INTO THE RADIATOR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A LOUSY MANUFACTURER'S FLAW, WHEN IT IS HAPPENING TO ALOT OF JEEPS, WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO GET IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH BEFORE THERE IS A RECALL. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE NOW HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE 3 TIMES IN 4 YEARS. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 40 MPH AND ON PAVED ROADS IN GOOD CONDITION. FORTUNATELY, NO INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED AT THIS POINT, BUT THE POSSIBLILTY IS THERE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE NHTSA SITE WHICH CONTAINS MANY OTHER REPORTS (<100) OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING TO OTHER PEOPLE, IN MANY CASES HAPPENING MULTIPLE TIMES LIKE MY CASE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS CASUING THIS PROBLEM.*AK
