FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
INTERMITTENTLY VEHICLE HESITATED AND HAD LOW FUEL PRESSURE. THIS RESULTED IN FUEL PUMP FAILURE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED BECAUSE DEBRIS WAS COMING OFF THE FUEL TANK AND CLOGGED THE FUEL LINES AND PUMP. FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER WERE REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN A MONTH. THE FUEL REGULATOR WAS REPLACED TWICE, BUT FAILURE RECURRED. ALSO, CONSUMER CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, WHO PROVIDED LITTLE ASSISTANCE. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I BELIEVE THAT THE 1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. WHEN HITTING A BUMP, POTHOLE OR OTHER UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE AT , SAY, 45 TO 65 MPH, THE FRONT SUSPENSION OF THE CAR AND THE STEERING COLUMN WILL SOMETIMES GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE AND SHIMMY THAT IS UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL YOU SLOW THE CAR CONSIDERABLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES SINCE JULY 28, 2001. IT PROBABLY OCCURS WHEN A CERTAIN HARMONIC VIBRATION FREQUENCY IS DEVELOPED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND THE STABILIZER BAR REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I CHECKED THE NHTSA COMPLAINT FILE AND SEE THAT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER DRIVERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTED. WHILE MY CAR IS A 1993 MODEL, I AM SURE THAT THIS SAME SUSPENSION WAS USED IN CARS FOR SOME YEARS AFTER 1993. I AM INTERESTED IN POSSIBLY BUYING A NEW JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BUT CANNOT MAKE THAT COMMITMENT UNTIL THIS MATTER IS CORRECTED AND SHOWN TO NOT EXIST IN THE NEW MODELS. *NM

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TAILGATE:LATCH
I HAVE A 1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A DEFECTIVE LIFT GATE MECHANISM. INITIALLY THE DEFECT PREVENTED THE LIFT GATE FROM CLOSING, NOW IT WON'T OPEN. IN APRIL 1993 THE NHTSA IDENTIFIED A DEFECT IN THE MECHANISM AND ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM (93V055000 ). I CONTACTED DAIMLER-CHRYSLER FOR ASSISTANCE IN CORRECTING THE PROBLE. DAIMLER-CHRYSLER INDICATED THE VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. DID THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT WORK OUT SOME SORT OF PLEA BARGIN FOR THEIR RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE? ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PROVIDE WHICH WILL HELP RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. CLIFF OILER [email protected]. *AK

MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE A PAINT PEELING PROBLEM ON THE HOOD OF MY CAR. ORIGINALLY I JUST THOUGHT THAT IT WAS MY CAR BUT THERE ARE 2 OTHER PEOPLE IN MY OFFICE BUILDING WITH THE SAME COLOR, YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR AND WE ALL HAVE THE PAINT PEELING PROBLEM IN THE SAME AREAS.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE BEEN BUYING P225/70TR15 DUNLOP GTQ RWL TIRES FOR MY 1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AS REPLACEMENT TIRES. THREE OUT OF THE LAST 4 TIRES I HAVE BOUGHT HAVE DEVELOPED A WELT JUST OFF CENTERLINE OF TREAD FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I DIDNT THINK MUCH OF IT AS THE TIRE DEALER TOLD ME I MIGHT HAVE HIT SOMETHING A LONG TIME PRIOR TO WELT DEVELOPING AND IT IS JUST SHOWING UP NOW. THE FIRST OF THOSE TIRES WAS REPLACED ON 6/19/02 AND THE SECOND WAS REPLACED ON 8/26/02. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 13,000 TO 16,000 MILES LATER THIS CONDITION APPEARED AGAIN. I NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE CAR AND CONFIRMED THAT A WELT HAD APPEARED IN THE TIRE JUST OF CENTERLINE. I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM A BUSINESS TRIP WHICH WAS JUST 200 MILES FROM MY HOME AND THE TIRE DISINTEGRATED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL THAT THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED ENTIRELY TOO OFTEN AND IT IS WITH THE SAME TIRE BRAND AND TYPE. I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE TIRE DEALER YET, BUT I DID WANT TO REPORT THIS IN CASE THERE IS A PROBLEM AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE REPORTING IT ALSO. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.*AK
