WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH ON THE HIGHWAY HE T-BONE ANOTHER VEHICLE. AND THE DUAL AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

AIR CONDITIONER NOT BLOWING COLD, FREON RECHARGED BY AUTO DEALER, ONE YEAR LATER. THE SAME PROBLEM, WAS TOLD VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, AND IT WAS CHEAPER TO RECHARGE EVERY YEAR. RECHARGED AGAINJUNE 2001, AND AGAIN ON JUNE 2002. TALKING WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS, THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T SEEM NORMAL THAT THE EVAPORATOR IN A 3 YEAR OLD JEEP SHOULD FAIL. I HAVE OWNED CHRYSLER PRODUCTS FOR 20 YEARS & NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULD HAVE REACTED SOONER, BUT I FIGURED IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND NOW I HAVE LEARNED OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DT

I READ IN THE PAPER YOU WERE INVESTIGATING HOODS OPENING ON 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. MY JEEP HOOD CAME OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-65 IN ALABAMA APPROXIMATELY AT THE DATE LISTED IN THE QUESTIONAIRE. THAT DATE IS AN ESTIMATE. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE HOOD POPPED UP, PARTIALLY OBSCURING MY VISION. I WAS NEAR AN EXIT, SO I MANAGED TO SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD AND STOP AND RE-LATCH THE HOOD. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE NOT CLOSED IT PROPERLY AFTER CHECKING THE OIL, BUT NOW THAT I KNOW THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY I THOUGHT IT WAS WISE TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT ANYWAY. I CAN NOT CONFIRM OR DENY THAT I IMPROPERLY CLOSED THE HOOD BEFORE THIS INCIDENT I JUST DON'T REMEMBER. DT
