CONSMUER PUT THE JEEP IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE BACK HATCH LEAVING THE DRIVERS' DOOR OPEN. JEEP POPPED OUT OF GEAR GOING IN REVERSE AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. CONSUMER WAS KNOCKED DOWN BY DOOR AND FRONT WHEEL RAN OVER CONSUMERS' FOOT AND PART OF LEG. JEEP CONTINUED TO ROLL IN REVERSE UNTIL IT SMASHED INTO A BUILDING.

THE IGNITION SWITCH BURNT UP. REPLACE WITH ANOTHER ONE AND IT IS BURNING UP. REPLACED BLOWER MOTOR AND IGNITION SWITCH. THIS HAPPEN WHEN A/C WAS ON AND BLOWER AT MAXIMUM. LEAVING BLOWER AT LOW WIRES GETS WARM. HIGH START TO MELT. I AM AFRAID OF MY FAMILY INCASE OF A FIRE. I READ THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS REPORTED I CONTACTED A DEALER AND THERE IS NO RECALL. WHY? *AK

ONE HINGE OF DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR IS COMPLETELY DETACHED, THE OTHER IS COMING LOOSE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL YEAR OF THE CHEROKEE. AT MODERATE TO HIGH SPEEDS, THE DOOR SHAKES AND RATTLES, AND THE NISE IS DEAFENING. DOOR ALSO LEAKS NOW WHEN IT IS RAINING, THERE NOW IS WATER DAMAGE TO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PROP UP THE TAILGATE DOOR WITH A BROOM HANDLE SINCE THAT PIECE FAILED, THIS HANDLE COULD EASILY BECOME DISLODGED DURING LOADING AND SEVERELY INJURE ANYONE STANDING BENEATH THE DOOR.*AK

THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS COMING OFF THE HINGE - IT'S A RECALL BUT CHRYSLER SAID I HAVE TO BE THE ORIGINAL OWNER & WON'T PAY TO FIX.*AK

I HAVE A 1995 CHEROKEE 4X4 "SPORT" MODEL... I'VE MANAGED TO BREAK AT LEAST 4 SETS OF MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS SINCE I BOUGHT (NEW) THE VEHICLE... I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE VEHICLE IS A LEMON, BUT THE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS DO HAVE A CERTAIN CITRUS FLAVOR TO THEM... UP UNTIL THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, CHRYSLER HAS BEEN COVERING THEM AS A WARANTY REPAIR, SO IT HAS JUST BEEN INCONVENIENT AND I HAVE BEEN WILLING TO LIVE WITH THEIR DESIGN DEFECT... THIS TIME, THEY SAY THAT SINCE I HAD OVER 40K MILES ON THE LAST SET OF BOLTS, THEN THEY WOULD NOT COVER THEM... DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILES I'VE BEEN DRIVING WITH THEM BROKEN SINCE THE CENTER ONE WAS STILL IN THERE, SO THE ENGINE DID NOT DROP DOWN LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES AFTER THE BOLTS SHEAR OFF... I ONLY NOTICED IT THIS TIME WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT THE RADIATOR IS LEAKING... I'M LOOKING AT A $800-900 REPAIR FOR BOTH ITEMS... WHEN THIS LAST OCCURRED, I CALLED THE CHRYSLER SERVICE LINE AND STARTED UP A "CARE" ISSUE WITH THEM, GIVING THEM ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I HAD ON THE PROBLEM... THEY DIDN'T SEEM ALL THAT CONCERNED WITH FINDING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND SINCE IT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 12 MONTHS / 12,000 MILES SINCE THE LAST MOTOR MOUNT BOLT REPLACEMENT, THEY WOULD COVER IT AS A WARRANTY REPAIR... I SUSPECT THAT CHRYSLER BELIEVES THAT IT IS CHEAPER TO JUST KEEP REPAIRING THE SYMPTOMS INSTEAD OF DETERMINING THE ACTUAL PROBLEM... UNFORTUNATELY, THIS TIME, THEY ARE MAKING ME PAY FOR THEIR DESIGN DEFECT. *AK

VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING SOME NOISE IN REAR. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND REPLACED SPIDER GEAR. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFROMATION ON THIS MATTER.*AK
