STRUCTURE:BODY
MY 99' JEEP HAS LEAKED WATER UNDER THE SEATS FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAD 4 REPAIR ATTEMPTS WHERE THEY REPLACED THE DOOR SEALS X 2, SANDED THE DOOR FRAME, RESEALED THE WINDSHIELD, SEALED THE SEAMS UNDER THE WHEELS AND REPLACED THE CARPET 3 TIMES. THE CAR STILL LEAKED. I HAVE SENT A LETTER OF DEFECT TO THE MANUFACTURE AND AFTER THE 5 AND FINIAL REPAIR ATTEMPT THE JEEP STILL LEAKED WATER UNDER THE SEATS. CHRYSLER EVEN HAD AN ENGINEER FLY DOWN TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND LOOK AT THE JEEP. HE TOLD ME THE LEAK WAS FIXED. YESTERDAY IT RAINED AND AFTER DRIVING THROUGH SOME PUDDLES WATER STILL LEAKED UNDER THE SEATS. *AK

#714751November 14, 1999
STRUCTURE:BODY
THE FLOOR LEAKED FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE CARPET WAS RUINED, THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE CARPET AND "FIXED" THE LEAK TWICE, I STILL DO NOT KNOW IF IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED AS FOR IT HAS NOT RAINED SINCE THE LAST REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL JEEPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM RETURNED FOR REPAIR. IF THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM THEN WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER ???

SUSPENSION
FROM TIME OF PURCHASE , MY WIFE HAS BEEN COMPLAINING THAT HER VEHICLE IS WOBBLING. WE HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO FIX, BUT THEY SEEM AT A LOSS AS TO WHATS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. OUR 6TH TRIP TO THE DEALER WILL BE THIS MONDAY, JUNE 28,1999. I SPOKE WITH DENNIS TAGGE, SERVICE MANAGER AT PALM AUTO MALL, HE STATED THAT THE TIRES MAY BE SLIPPING ON THE RIMS AS THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES. HE HAS DECIDED THAT SANDING THE RIMS AND\OR ADDING SOME FORM OF NONSLIP COMPOUND MIGHT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I 'M NOT AS CONFIDENT AS HE THAT THIS WILL RESOLVE IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE. EACH TIME WE TOOK THE JEEP INTO THE DEALER, THEY REBALANCED THE WHEELS IN HOPES THIS PROBLEM WOULD DISSAPPEAR. WE ARE ON OUR SECOND AND A HALF SET OF TIRES AND YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE SUGGESTED TO THEM THE PROBLEM MAY BE IN THE WHEELS THEMSELVES AND THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED. THEY SEEM RELUCTANT TO DO THIS. I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ALOT MORE OF THIS, PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. THANK YOU. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 30X9.5R15 )

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE, STEERING
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE RETURNED IT FOR SERVICE 4 TIMES, AND NEED TO BRING IT BACK IN AGAIN. FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS A SOLENOID. THEN THEY TRACED ALL OF THE WIRING. THE TIME AFTER THAT THEY REPLACED THE MODULE. NEXT THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE SPARK PLUGS (RECALL SERVICE). THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS 2-3 WEEKS AGO, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALREADY BACK ON. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE HAS BEEN GOOD, BUT THEY NOR CHRYSLER SEEM TO KNOW WHY THIS IS OCCURRING. *AK

#702599January 25, 1999
LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
I WAS CHECKING MY OIL ON THE VEHICLE, WHEN A MODERATE WIND CAUSED THE HOOD TO BE BLOWN BACK AGAINST THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE HOOD TO BE DENTED. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE HOOD SUPPORT ROD DID NOT CATCH IN ANY WAY, AND IF THE HOOD DID NOT FALL ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE WINDSHIELD, IT COULD HAVE HIT ME IN THE HEAD. THIS WAS NOT DOCUMENTED IN ANY WAY IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL, OR ON THE HOOD. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY SOMEONE. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
ENGINE MISFIRES WHILE SHIFTING UP THROUGH THE GEARS. I FEELS LIKE PLUGS BREAKING DOWN OR POOR FUEL MIXTURE, WHEN AT AN IDLE THERE IS POPING FROM THE TAIL PIPE. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWO TIMES THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE SAME CONDITION. IT WAS THERE WHEN I RECIVED THE JEEP NEW AND IT IS STILL THERE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY CALLED THE DEALER AND RECIVED THE SAME REPORT SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET. I NEED HELP TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THANK YOU
