1995 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WELD OF TOP HINGE OF DRIVERS DOOR IS BREAKING. DOOR WILL SOON BE UNUSABLE, OR WORSE FALL OFF WHILE I'M DIRVING THE VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT CHRYSLER HAS DONE TO FIX THIS SITUATION WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS. *AK

BECAUSE DOOR WAS MANUFACTURERED AT AN ANGLE, DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BROKE OFF AT THE HINGES. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

TRAVELING DOWN A CITY STREET AT 30 MILES AN HOUR WE HIT A SMALL GROOVE IN THE ROAD AND THREE OF THE FOUR MOTOR MOUNTS SNAPPED IN HALF. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE HITS SOMETHING REALLY HARD OR DROPS DOWN ON SOMETHING HARD. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY OTHER INCIDENTS OF THIS HAPPENING. IF THE FOURTH BOLT HAD LET GO 3 PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. *AK

PE95047, FAILURE OF DOOR ASSEMBLY WELDS: DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR EXPERIENCED WELD BREAKAGE, AND PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING CRACKS IN THE WELDS. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT REPAIRS WOULD ONLY BE DONE AT CONSUMER'S COST. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MPH THE RIGHT SIDE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS SHEARED OFF, CAUSING THE ENGINGE TO DROP. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO APPLY BRAKES, FOUND OUT THAT HE DID NOT HAVE ANY BRAKES BECAUSE ROTORS HAD SEPARATED. CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, NO INJURIES. *AK

"ROTATIONAL THUMPING" SOUND DURING ACCEL FROM STOP. ESPECIALLY NOTICABLE DURING ACCEL UPHILL FROM STOP. THUMPING SOUND UNTIL 15MPH OR SO. SOUND FROM BELOW DRIVERS SIDE. ORIGINALLY NOTICED PROBLEM MID TO LATE LAST YEAR. DEALER HAD OTHER JEEPS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM. SAID THEY TRIED REPLACING STEERING DAMPENER, U-JOINTS...ETC BUT PROBLEM CAME BACK. SAID THEY HAD SAME TYPE TRANSFERCASE. THEY FIXED OTHER JEEPS BY REPLACING TRANSFERCASE. ALSO NOTICE SLIGHT REAR WOBBLE WHEN ACCEL AND THUMPING NOISE. U-JOINTS OK. GOT NEW WHEELS, ALIGNED & BALANCED & NEW STEERING DAMPENER(OLD ONE LEAKING). PROBLEM BARELY NOTICABLE BUT WAS STILL THERE. MORE NOTICABLE AROUND FEB. CONTACTED DEALER AT THAT TIME. SAID THEY WOULD CALL IF FOUND A SOLUTION BUT HASN'T CALLED YET. NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. DEALER SAID EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND HARD TO FIND PARTS.

PASSENGER'S SIDE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS SHEARED OFF WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THEN CAR STARTED VIBRATING. ALSO, FAN BLADE HIT FAN SHROUD, AND VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVEABLE. *AK

UPON SHFTING TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE GEAR VEHICLE SUDDENDLY TOOK OFF, HITTING 3 PARKED VEHICLES. *AK
