FIRST , THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW WITH MY EX-HUSBAND, NICOLAS JONVILLE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER, 1997, FROM A JEEP DEALER IN DES PLAINES, ILLINOIS. IT WAS A SALES DONE THROUGH INTERNATIONAL AUTOSOURCE. WE THEN BROUGHT THE CAR OUT TO CALIFORNIA. SINCE JUNE, 2000, THIS CAR HAS EXPEIENCED O2 SENSOR PROBLEMS, EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACK, SPRING DEFECTIVE ATTACHED TO RIGHT FRONT SHOCK, AND FUEL TANK ACCURACY PROBLEM. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD CHILD AND DRIVE THIS CAR JUST TO TAKE HER TO PRE-SECHOOL AND SHOPPING. I WORK OUT OF THE HOME. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN ONE YEARS TIME ARE ABUNDANT. I DON'T DRIVE DAILY INTO LOS ANGELES OR SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. I DRIVE BARELY 20 MILES A DAY. I DO BELIEVE THESE PROBLEMS DO CAUSE SAFETLY PROBLEMS FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF. I HAVE FEARS OF STALLING DUE TO FUEL PROBLEMS. I HAVE FEARS OF HITTING SOMETHING THAT AFFECT THE SPRING ON THE HIGHWAY AND GETTING IN A BAD ACCIDENT. I NOW HAVE FEARS OF DRIVING THE CAR LONG DISTANCES SINCE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACK CAUSED ME TO EAT TOO MUCH GAS. THE CAR IS ONLY OVER THREE YEARS OLD. I WANT SOME ANSWERS AND WILL SENDING THIS INFORMATION FURTHER WITH CERTIFIED DOCUMENTATIONS OF MY LETTERS, MY REVIEWS OF MECHANIC VIEWS AND THE DEALERS DOCUMENTATION. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NON-SUPPORTIVE OF FIXING ANY OF MY PROBLEMS WITHOUT PAYING A HIGH PRICE WHEN I BELIEVE THESE ARE MANUFACTURER PROBLESMS.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING 40MPH VEHICLE STALLED AND DIED. NO PRIOR WARNINGS, AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. TOWED IT TO DEALER. *AK

FUEL GUAGE DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECT LEVELS OF FUEL, CAUSING VEHICLE TO UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF FUEL, VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. *AK

WE HAVE JUST BE TOLD THAT WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE OUR ENGINE, BECAUSE OF THE OIL PRESSURE IN THE ENGINE. WE HAVE HAD REPAIRS MADE FOR THIS PROBLEM EVERY 2 TO 3 MONTHS. WE HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPANY WORK ON OUR JEEP IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKE TO OTHER CUSTOMERS AND THEY TO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR ENGINE TO STOP THIS PROBLEM. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I PAID $35,000.00 FOR MY JEEP AND NOW HAVE TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE. CHYSLER HAS TO HAVE HAD OTHER COMSUMER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN BUYING CHYSLER FOR A LOG TIME, AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE. I HOPE THAT YOU LOOK INTO MY PROBLEM. ANY HELP ON YOUR IN WOULD HELP OUR FAMILY.*AK

PARKED CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL MECHANIC BANGED ON GAS TANK. MECHANIC INDICATED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH FUEL PUMP. HAVE YOU HAD ANY NOTICE OF FUEL PUMP SERVICE RECALLS FOR 97 JEEP CHEROKEE'S?. *AK
