1995 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WIRING SHORT BETWEEN POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER & FUSE BOX. TURN ON HEADLIGHTS & NO DASH LIGHTS,NO TAIL LIGHTS,NO DOOR BUZZER,NO TRANSMISSION INDICATOR LIGHTS & NO PARKING LIGHTS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING CAR OUR BRAND NEW TERMINATOR 225-75-15 TIRES PURCHASED FROM DISCOUNT TIRE CO. IN CHARLOTTE HAD A BLOWOUT. THE TIRE COMPLETELY FAILED AND APPEARS AS IF SOMEONE USED A SAW AND CUT IT DIAGONALLY ACROSS THE SIDEWALLS AND THE ENTIRE TREAD. NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THE TIRE COLLAPSED WITHOUT EVEN HITTING ANYTHING. *LA

IGNITION SWITCH WAS FAULTY AND CAUSED VEHICLE TO CATCH ON FIRE. DEALER STATED DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAD AN OPEN INVESTIGATION #11700403.*AK

ON 9/30/03 WIRING TERMINATIONS AT IGNITION SWITCH IN STEERING COLUMN FAILED. EVIDENCE OF PREVIOUS ARCING AND DEFORMATION OF WIRING, CONNECTOR, AND PLASTIC COVER OVER STEERING COLUMN WERE PRESENT. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING AS THEY HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE AND HAVE PRESCRIBED A FIX FOR THE SITUATION THAT DEVIATES FROM REPLACING THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS. IF THIS IS THE CASE THEY THERE MUST BE QUITE A FEW CHEROKEES THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I MY SELF HAVE NOTICED QUITE A FEW BURNT UP INTERIORS AT LOCAL SALVAGE YARDS WHERE I DO BUSINESS MY SELF. IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOME ONE DIES IN A FIRE CAUSED BY ELECTIRAL WIRING INSIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN SHOULD BE GIVEN. I HAVE CONTACED DCX AND THEY GAVE ME CLAIM NUMNBER 11700403 FOR MY COMPLAINT WITHIN THERE ORGANIZATION

THE REPAIR SHOP PERSONNEL INDICATED THAT THIS IS BECOMING ALMOST ROUTINE FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE PRIOR TO A REDESIGN OF THE MANIFOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER. *JB
