2001 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT FRAME BROKE ON 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE CAUSING SEAT BACK TO RECLINE ON ONE SIDE TOWARDS THE REAR. I OWN TWO IDENTICAL JEEP CHEROKEES AND IT HAPPENED TO BOTH OF THEM. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WEREN'T ANY RECALLS ON THIS. I THINK THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD VERY LIKELY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE. THANK YOU. *TR

2001 JEEP CHEEROKEE EVAPORATOR FAILURE IN AC SYSTEM. FROM INTERNET RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. HEARD EVAPORATOR METAL MATERIAL CORRODES (NOT COMPATIBLE) WITH R134 REFRIGERANT. DIDN'T REALIZE THE EXTENT OF ISSUE UNTIL 2009. *TR

I OWN A 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE METAL THAT ATTACHES THE SEAT TO THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT MOUNTING HAS FAILED IN MULTIPLE AREAS LEANING THE SEAT BACK AND TO THE RIGHT. THE SEAT IS HELD BY ONE BOLT, WHILE THE METAL IS TEARING ON THE OTHERS DUE TO THE TENSION. THE TWO DRIVERS ARE BOTH FIT, UNDER 200LBS WITH GOOD POSTURE - THIS IS CLEARLY A STRUCTURAL DEFECT. THE SEAT ANGLE NOW CAUSES THE DRIVER BACK AND HIP PAIN AND IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD POSE AN EXTREME DANGER TO ALL PASSENGERS. REPLACEMENT DRIVER SEAT IS OVER TWICE THE COST OF MATCHING PASSENGER SEAT INDICATING THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR DEFECT. *TR
