ON JULY 4, 2000, OUR 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE JUMPED FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AND COVERED APPROX. 40 FEET BEFORE PLUMMETING INTO A HOLE BEING DUG FOR THE FOUNDATION OF OUR NEW HOME WITH OUR THEN 15-MO. SON INSIDE. THE JEEP FLIPPED ONTO ITS ROOF TRAPPING OUR SON (WHO HAD FALLEN ASLEEP INSIDE) UPSIDE DOWN WITHIN INCHES OF MORE THAN A FOOT OF WATER THAT HAD COLLECTED AT THE BOTTOM. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO RESCUE OUR SON WHO WAS UNINJURED. THE JEEP WAS IN PARK WITH THE AC ON FULL AND WAS STATIONARY FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES ON LEVEL GROUND BEFORE JUMPING INTO DRIVE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE JEEP AT THE SCENE AND THE CONDITIONS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, AS WELL AS A POLICE REPORT. I WOULD LIKE TO HELP MAKE SURE NO ONE EVER HAS TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING SO HORRIFYING (AND POTENTIALLY FATAL) AGAIN.*AK

I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WHERE THE MY AUTO IS IDLING IN PARK AND THEN LURCHES INTO REVERSE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TREATING ME LIKE WHAT I DESCRIBE IS IMPOSSIBLE AND IGNORING MY COMPLAINT. I HAVE A DATE SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR AND ITS MY GUESS THE PEOPLE AT CHRYSLER KNOW THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE AUTO AND ARE TRYING TO SWEEP IT UNDER THE CARPET. ALSO MY TRANSMISSION IS DRAGGING THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT PROBLEM AND ARE TO REPAIR IT SOON. I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT THIS DEATH TRAP. I HAVE ALSO TALKED WITH SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND MOST REPORT SOME PROBLEMS WHEN THE AUTO IS IN REVERSE.

POSSIBLY CAME OUT OF PARK IN DRIVEWAY. ROLLED BACK INTO MY PARKED TRUCK. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO JEEP DOOR. HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *AK

CONSUMER HAD A FRONTAL IMPACT COLLISION THAT RESULTED IN FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIRBAGS FAILING TO DEPLOY. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE PREMATURELY WEARING, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP, AND EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON SIMILAR JEEPS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THEY REFUSE TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY CAR WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS. *AK

FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE PREMATURELY WEARING WHICH HAS RESULTED IN POOR BRAKING ABILITY. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED A VERY UNUSUAL NOISE OCCURS, AND PEDAL AT TIMES GOES TO THE FLOOR. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

ROTORS ARE CORRODING, BUT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BRAKES. VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF RECALL 00V136000/ MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 879, AND DEALER IS NOT MAKING ANY AGREEMENTS FOR COVERAGE. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT OF $ 225 FOR REPLACEMENT OF TWO ROTORS. *YH
