1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM LOCAL STORE, MY WIFE HAD THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR UNEXPECTEDLY FLING OPEN AS SHE WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP AND SECURE THE DOOR BY HOLDING IT FOR THE SHORT ONE TO TWO MILE TRIP HOME. AFTER MAKING IT HOME, I INSPECTED THE DOOR AND LOCKING MECHANISM, AND DISCOVERED THAT THE METAL OF THE DOOR SKIN AS WELL AS THE METAL WHERE THE LOCK MECHANISM IS HELD TO THE DOOR WAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES . THIS MAKES THE DOOR UNABLE TO ALIGN WITH THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE CAR. THIS IS A POTENTIALY VERY DANGEROUS OCCURANCE ESPECIALLY IF IT HAD OCCURED ON A HIGHWAY OR EXPRESSWAY.*AK

ALL FOUR FIRESTONE RADIAL ATX II (235-75R15) TIRES WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THE TREAD WAS SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE CAUSING ONE OF THE TIRES TO GO FLAT, CONSUMER NO LONGER HAS THE TIRES IN THEIR POSSESSION BUT ARE REQUESTING COMPENSATION FOR REPLACEMENT TIRES. NLM

WHEN RUNNNING IT RUNS NORMALLY AND THEN WHEN YOU SHUT IT OFF IT WILL NOT START UP WE HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL FILTER AND THE PLUG WIRES ALSO NEW BATTERY AND CAP AND ROTOR AND PUT A NEW FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH AND ALSO 20.00 OF GAS AND SOME INJECTOR CLEANER AND STILL WILL NOT START AFTER SHUTTING OFF . *AK

TIRE SIZE P225/70R15, AFTERMARKET WITH 29,000 MILES. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 45 MINUTES AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN HOT WEATHER WHEN LEFT FRONT TIRE TREAD BLEW OFF, AND ROLLED ONTO HIGHWAY. *AK

LEFT REAR GOODYEAR INVICTA TIRES CRACKED AND SPLIT IN THE SIDEWALL (P225/75R15008). NLM

TIRE SIZE 22575R15; WHILE DRIVING IN LOW SPEEDS THERE WAS A THUMPING NOISE AND VIBRATION WHICH A DEALER SAID WAS DUE TO SEPARATION INSIDE THE TIRE. THERE WERE NOT VISIBLE CRACKS ON THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE. NO PROBLEMS WITH THE OTHER TIRES AS OF YET. *AK ALL TIRES REPLACED WITH GOODYEAR INVICTA GA. *YH

DRIVER'S DOOR SAGGING - DOOR NO LONGER CLOSES COMPLETELY (SEE DAYLIGHT THROUGH GAP).

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE RECALL COMPONENT (00V-136) PRIOR TO RECALL NOTIFICATION, CONSUMER REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *MJS

#1- CONCERNING RUSTED ROTORS. (RECALL 98V005000/FRONT BRAKE ROTORS). WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED 9-16-97. SHORTLY THEREAFTER WE DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD COROSION/RUSTED ROTORS. WE WERE INFORMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THAT THE RUSTED ROTORS WERE NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED. THAT WAS 4/98. SEPTEMBER OF 2000 I DISCOVERED THE RECALL WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH. THIS TIME I CONTACTED BOBETTE THOMAS AT JIM MARSH SERVICE ABOUT THE RUSTED ROTARS. SHE TOOK THE INFORMATION AND CALLED ME BACK LATER THAT DAY. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT AFFECT MY VEHICLE. WE PURCHASED IT USED AND DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT ORIGINATED. WE BELIEVE THE RUSTED ROTARS ARE A PRODUCT OF IMPROPER MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. I AM REQUESTING THAT JEEP REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AND HONOR THE RECALL. #2 SINCE PURCHASING THIS USED VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD REPEATED FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEMS. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE SERVICED FOR FUEL ODORS ON 8 DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS IN THE PAST 3 YEARS. ON THREE OF THOSE OCCASSIONS WE WERE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. YET THE SMELL CONTINUED. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE'S FUEL INJECTOR SYSTEM. AGAIN MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING INTERMITANT FUEL ODORS. IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND WE A FAILURE RATE AS EXTENSIVE AS OURS HAS BEEN IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I BELIEVE HAD THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING THIS REPEATED FAILURE, BEEN DIAGNOSED WHEN INITIALLY TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OUR WARRANTY WOULD HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED IN IT'S ENTIRETY. #3 REAR HATCHBACK DOORLOCKS AND LATCH. 1-12-98 I REPORTED A LOCK PROBLEM AND THE CLOSURE PROBLEMS I HAD BEEN HAVING. ALTHOUGH I WAS GIVEN A NEW KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE. THE REAR HATCH HAS NEVER CLOSED OR LOCKED 100% OF THE TIME. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THIS PART IS ALSO UNDER RECALL. I WOULD LIKE JEEP TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE PARTS IN QUESTION. #4 FRONT AXLE VIBRATION LISTED ON DUE BILL. NEVER CORRECTED.*AK

I WOULD LIKE THESE REPLACED. I CANNOT FIND DOT NUMBER. DEALER SAYS NOT MADE IN ILL.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235-75X15 )
