#758862March 2, 2002
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
SPOKE W/ CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP DIRECTLY ABOUT LEAK IN DASHBOARD. SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, NEITHER WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT PROBLEM W/O HAVING THEIR MECHANIC INSPECT THE VEHICLE AT A COST OF $75/HR. PAYABLE BY OWNER (ME). I POINTED OUT ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS LOOK AT THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD TO SEE THE PUDDLE OF WATER LEFT AFTER IT RAINED THE NIGHT BEFORE. AFTER MY EXPERIENCE W/ CHRYSLER REGARDING THE CRACKED GASKET ON MY FUEL TANK, WHICH I JUST FOUND OUT WAS A RECALL ISSUE, I FIGURED THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO AND HAVE ENDURED THE INCONVENIENCE EVER SINCE. I HAVE MET ANOTHER PERSON W/ A NEWER MODEL WRANGLER W/ SAME PROBLEM OF LEAKAGE VIA DASHBOARD. I HOPE THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE W/ SAME PROBLEM IN THE HOPES THAT CHRYSLER WILL RECOGNIZE THE SITUATION AND FIX IT. *AK

THERE WAS NOTHING SEEMINGLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY YEARS, BUT HAS VERY LOW MILES. IT WAS MATICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. OIL WAS CHANGED IN THE VEHICLE EVERY 3000 MILES. THE ONLY PROBLEM WE HAD WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT, WAS A REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK. IT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THAT.

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL
THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT ON A MODERATELY FLAT SURFACE. THE APRKING BRAKE HAD BEEN ENGAGED. I WAS ALERTED BY LOCAL SECURITY THAT MY VEHICLE HAD ROLLED OUT OF IT'S PARKING SPOT. IT ROLLED APPROXIMATELY 20 YARDS INTO THE REAR END OF ANOTHER PARKED CAR. THIS PARKING BRAKE HAD BEEN "FIXED" ONE TIME BEFORE. THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD ON ANYTHING MORE THAN A FLAT SURFACE. IT'S BEEN FIXED REPEATEDLY, BUT WITHIN DAYS OF BEING FIXED IT WILL "POP" AND BE TOO LOOSE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY, 695 IN BALTIMORE, BOTH EXTERIOR HOOD LATCHES BECAME UNHINGED. MOMENTS LATER, THE LATCH LOCATED AT THE INTERIOR CENTER FRONT OF THE HOOD FAILED ALSO. THIS CAUSED THE HOOD TO FLY UPWARD TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD, STRIKING THE GLASS AND CAUSING IT TO SHATTER. I WAS FORCED TO PULL BLINDLY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, BECAUSE THE HOOD HAD FOLDED ITSELF OVER THE FRAME OF THE WINDSHIELD AND WAS STILL LODGED IN PLACE. AFTER RETURNING THE HOOD TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION, I OBSERVED SUBSTANSIAL BODY DAMAGE TO THE HOOD AND WINDSHIELD.*AK

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS A WELDED TUBULAR HEADER. AT APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES THE WELD AT THE COLLECTOR CRACKS. I DON'T KNOW IF I AM AT RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE.
