I WAS PARKED IN MY LOT AND A NEIGHBOR DROPPED A CIGARETTE BEHIND MY 1999 JEEP. THERE WAS UNGODLY GAS SMELL AND THE PUDDLE OF GAS THAT IS LEAKING FROM TANK IGNITED. I WAS LUCKILY ENOUGH THAT I CAUGHT IT AT THAT TIME OR IT WOULD HAVE EXPLODED. I JUST BOUGHT IT AND NEVER SMELLED GAS OR THOUGHT THE TANK WAS LEAKING. I HAD TO SPENLEAKING. IT IS GOING TO COST OVER 500 DOLLARS FOR THIS TO BE FIXED PLUS A TOW BAR. PLEASE HELP ME TO SEE IF JEEP COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE DUE TO RECALL. *TR

TRAVELING EAST ON HWY 76 JUST OUTSIDE JULESBURG, CO, MY RIGHT REAR TIRE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT AT 75MPH. TIRE PRESSURES WERE AT 35 PSI ON ALL TIRES BEFORE TRIP A FEW DAYS EARLIER. TIRES HAVE ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THEM AND HAVE ABOUT 45% REMAINING TREAD. BLOWOUT PATTERN WAS A NEAR PERFECT CIRCLE WHERE THE SIDEWALL MEETS THE TREAD AREA OF THE TIRE. DAMAGE TO VEHICLE CONSISTED OF BENT REAR QUARTER PANEL. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD IT FIXED 2 TIMES. THEN IT. STOPS WORKING AGAIN. MY DRIVERS SEAT RAIL BROKE ON MY JEEP AND CAUSES THE SEAT TO WOBBLE ALL AROUND. THE SEAT ARE ALSO BROKEN IN THE SAME WAY ON MY 2000 JEEP AND MY 1996 JEEP TOO. WHAT CAN BE DONE. I HAVE 4 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. 3 JEEPS HAVE BROKEN SEATS. 2 OF THE 4 HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WHAT CAN BE DONE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER BEFORE THE SHAKING WOULD STOP. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH AGAIN AND HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING AGAIN OCCURRED. AGAIN I HAD TO SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY BEFORE IT STOPPED SHAKING. THIS IS KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE AND CHRYSLER KNOWS IT. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR USING CHEAP PARTS ON JEEPS. *TR

SINCE THERE IS NO CATAGORY FOR THIS ISSUE I HAD TO PUT VISIBILITY/WIPER IN ORDER TO EVEN SUBMIT THIS FORM. THERE IS NO CATAGORY FOR THE HEATING SYSTEM WHICH THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS!!! THE ACCUATOR DOORS REGULATING THE HEAT TO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ARE BROKEN. I THOUGHT BY REPLACING THE MOTOR WHICH CONTROLS THEM IT WOULD FIX IT. NO SUCH LUCK THE DOORS ARE BROKEN AND NOT ONLY ARE THEY ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH WITHOUT PULLING THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND CONSOLE, THE COST FOR IT WILL BE AROUND $1500 AND THAT IS ABSURD FOR A PART WHICH IS LESS THAN $100. THE LABOR WILL BE ABOUT $1300 TO GET TO IT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE CAN'T THEY DESIGN A VEHICLE THAT CAN BE WORKED ON WITHOUT TAKING IT APART TO A LEVEL WHICH MAKES ME WANT TO JUNK THE CAR!! THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT SOMETHING OTHER THAN PLASTIC TO CONTROL THE HEAT IN THE VEHICLE. NOW IT IS THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY IN NEW MEXICO AND IT IS FREEZING. THANKS JEEP, I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS SUV AND I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER AMREICAN CAR AGAIN!! I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION 2 YEARS AGO AT THE TUNE OF $3500. I RARELY GO ON A DIRT ROAD LET ALONE DRIVE FAST OR RECKLESS. A TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AT 65,000 IS ABSURD AND POOR DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING. THIS CAR IS NICKLING AND DIMEING ME TO DEATH!! *TR
