1998 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

BRAKE ROTOR SEPARATED FROM HUB DURING BRAKING. CONTACTED DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT MY JEEP WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AN AVERAGE OF 100 MILES AT 70-75 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL MISS AND THEN STALL, AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES IT WILL RESTART, THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE CRUISE CONTROL SENSOR AND CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *SLC

FUEL TANK BEGAN TO SPONTANEOUSLY LEAK FROM THE TOP WHEN FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY FULL. DEALERSHIP REMOVED TANK, INSPECTED, AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE OR WEAR AND HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR THE LEAK. JUST AS WITH COMPLAINT ODI ID: 755138, DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SPECULATE THAT THE TANK MAY BE DEFORMING UNDER LOAD (I.E., A FULL TANK OF FUEL) CAUSING THE LEAK. IF TRUE, THIS WOULD SUGGEST STRUCTURAL FAILURE OR MATERIAL DEFECT OF THE TANK AS SUGGESTED IN ODI ID: 755138. IN SUMMARY, THE PROBLEM IS ESSENTIALLY IDENTICAL TO ODI ID: 826441.*AK

JEEP CHEROKEE EQUIPED WITH GEN-3 SEAT BELTS. CHILD SAFETY SEAT IS USED IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD A COLLISION IN THE VEHICLE YET BUT WOULD LIKE THE BELTS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE. DAIMLER CHYSLER ONLY OFFERED ME A PRERECORDED MESSAGE SAYING THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THE FUEL GUAGE IS READING INCORRECT. CONSUMER STATES GAUGE IS READING THERE IS GAS WHEN THERES IS NONE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*JB

MY JEEP WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING TO RUN THE AC FOR APPROX 5 MINUTES. IT JUMPED INTO REVERSE AND RACED OFF (AS IF SOMEONE WAS SEATING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT WITH FOOT ON THE GAS). MY FRIEND ATTEMPTED TO JUMP IN TO STOP IT; HOWEVER, HE WAS THROWN ONTO THE GROUND. THE JEEP STOPPED ONLY AFTER PLOWING INTO A BRAND NEW 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBRAZER. HITTING THE PARKED TRAILBRAZER WAS BLESSING BECAUSE IT STOPPED THE JEEP FROM ROLLING INTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY!! I CALLED CHRYSLER TO REPORT THE ACCIDENT. THEIR ENGINEER REVIEWED THE WRECKAGE AND REPORTED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE JEEP. WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!*AK

CONSUMER HAD TO HAVE THE EROTORS REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER COMPLETING THE WORK, CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE (00V136000) IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE ROTORS. CONSUMER IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR MONIES PAID. *JG
