1990 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

1. REDUCED BRAKE PERFORMANCE 2. BRAKE FLUID LEAK IN ABS PUMP MOTOR ASSEMBLY, PERMANENTLY, REDUCED THEN LOST BRAKE PERFORMANCE 3. NOTHING, OLD PART IS AVAILABLE ADDITIONAL NOTES: ORR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DID NOT REPLACE ABS PUMP MOTOR ASSEMBLY WHICH HAS LIFETIME COVERAGE. THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CONVINCE ME THAT THE ABS PUMP MOTOR ASSEMBLY WAS NOT BROKEN WHICH IS NOT TRUE. CHRYSLER CORP. REFUSED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FTC AS WELL.

I HAVE OWNED A JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 1990 FOR YEARS NOW. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION EVENTS MORE THAN TEN TIMES NOW, MOST RECENTLY IN 2008. IT SEEMS EACH TIME I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG, POSSIBLY BRAKING, AND ZOOM! THE ENGINE REVS AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES. IT IS LIKE DRIVING A CAR OUT OF CONTROL. I AM AWARE THAT CHRYSLER HAS BLAMED SUCH OCCURRENCES ON OPERATOR ERROR BUT, MORE THAN ONCE NOW, I HAVE CHECKED TO BE SURE MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THIS ACCELERATION WAS HAPPENING. THE WHOLE TIME I'M STOMPING ON THE BRAKE BUT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES AGAINST IT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO FASTER EVEN THOUGH I'M BRAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ENOUGH TIMES THAT I HAVE EVEN HAD NIGHTMARES ABOUT IT. I KNOW I SHOULD JUST BUY A NEW VEHICLE BUT I MORALLY I COULD NOT SELL IT TO ANYONE, NOR TRADE IT IN, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS PROBLEM IS REAL. I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE MANY ACCIDENTS THIS HAS UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSED OVER THE YEARS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1990 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT BECAUSE HER VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 96V260000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK), SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED FIRST, AND THEN THEY WOULD REIMBURSE HER FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 137,000.

VEHICLE IS NOT IN A DRIVEABLE STATE PRESENTLY DUE TO THIS FAILURE. WILL HAVE TO DRILL OUT OLD BROKEN BOLT STUDS, REPLACE STUDS, AND INSPECT FOR ADDITIONAL DAMAGE.
