1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

JEEP REFUSED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL: REPORT RECEIPT DATE: JUN 19, 2013 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V252000 COMPONENT(S): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE , STRUCTURE POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 1,560,000 JEEP ADVISED US THEY ARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE REPAIRS NECESSARY BECAUSE THE REAR OF THE CAR HAS "TOO MUCH RUST". ALTHOUGH, WE RELY ON THE CAR EVERY SINGLE DAY TO GET US TO/FROM WORK AND SCHOOL.

WHILE EXITING ONE FREEWAY TO ANOTHER (ON THE RAMP) AT 60+ MILES PER HOUR, THE ENTIRE FRONT END STARTING SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THIS IS KNOWN AS 'THE DEATH WOBBLE'. WE HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $5000 TRYING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE FRONT END CONTINUES TO REQUIRE WORK IN ORDER TO KEEP IT FROM REOCCURRING.

MY ISSUES RELATES TO EXISTING RECALL # N45/ NHTSA 13V-252. THE RECALL INDICATES THAT VEHICLES WITHOUT A HITCH WILL HAVE A HITCH INSTALLED BY THE DEALER OR IF A HITCH WAS INSTALLED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD THEN CHRYSLER WILL PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST. MY QUESTION IS...WHAT ABOUT THE ORIGINAL OWNERS THAT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH THE HITCH AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT? WHY ARE THEY (WE) EXCLUDED FROM ANY REIMBURSEMENT? WHY WERE WE NOT CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL EVALUATION? I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE TYPICAL CORPORATE RUNAROUND BLAMING THEIR INABILITY TO OFFER REIMBURSEMENT ON THE NHTSA RECALL NOTICE. LOOKS LIKE THE BALLS IN YOUR COURT. *TR

RECALL N45 / NHTSA 13V-252 WE HAVE A 1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT WE TOOK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH A GAS TANK SKID PLATE AND TRAILER HITCH. WE WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE OLD HITCH AND SKID PLATE WOULD BE REMOVED AND A NON-FUNCTIONAL TRAILER HITCH WOULD BE INSTALLED. REQUIRING SIGNATURE THAT WE WOULD NOT TOW WITH THE VEHICLE. IT CAME WITH BOTH AN OFFROAD AND TOWING PACKAGE FROM THE FACTORY WHICH WE DO USE. THIS RECALL REPAIR DOES NOT BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO ORIGINAL DESIGN CRITERIA! *TR
