I HAVE HAD A LIST OF RECALLS PRINTED TO ME AT INSPECTION FOR TWO YEARS NOW. I HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THOSE RECALLS FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP DECLINED TO FIXED THEM AS THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT VALID RECALLS. WOULD YOU PLEASE SEND ME AN OFFICIAL LIST OF RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE FROM PRODUCTION DATE TO TODAY. THANK YOU. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

CHRYSLER FILE NO. 10175031. THIS ALSO RELATES TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NO. 94V106000. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE FUEL TANK GASKET CRACKED OR BROKE CAUSING FUEL AND FUEL VAPOR LEAKS WHICH IS MOST PROBABLY RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK LINING SEPARATION WHICH CHRYSLER "JUST DISCOVERED" ON MY VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS REJECTED MY CLAIM TO REPLACE AT NO CHARGE THE FUEL TANK IN WHICH THE LINING HAS SEPARATED. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT A MOVING PART AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN DESIGN, MANUFACTURING, OR ASSEMBLY. I ALSO REQUEST A COPY OF CHRYSLER'S FILE(S) IN THESE COMPLAINTS. I ALSO REQUEST A COPY OF ALL TECHNICAL AND SERVICE BULLETINS RELATING TO THESE COMPLAINTS AND THE GAS TANK AND FUEL SYSTEM. CHRYSLER IS ADVISED THAT I WILL NOT BE SPENDING OVER $600 TO REPLACE THIS FUEL TANK AND ANY AND ALL RESULTING DAMAGES WILL BE SQUARELY CHRYSLER'S LIABLITY. THERE IS PREMATURE RUST AND RESULTING STRUCTRUAL FAILURE CAUSED BY CHRYSLER SAVING MONEY BY NOT APPLYING A CLEAR COAT TOP COAT OVER THE PAINT ON THIS VEHICLE. THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS FOLD IN AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND CANNOT BE TIGHTENED.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH ENGINE OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES CONSUMER WENT BACK TO VEHICLE AND NOTICED IT HAD ROLLED DOWN THE STREET AND HIT ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. JEEP HAD $3000 DAMAGE, OTHER VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. AFTERWARD, CONSUMER STARTED USING EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND NOTICED ONCE APPLYING PEDAL, IT STAYED DOWN, BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES PEDAL WOULD POP BACK UP ON ITS OWN. DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE.*AK *YH

GAS TANK CAME LOOSE AT SEAMS, AND TANK LEAKED GASOLINE ALL OVER THE GROUND. *AK CONSUMER STATES AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATING THE FUEL TANK, IT WAS NOT LEAKING AT THE SEAMS, THERE SEEMS TO BE A CRACK ON THE RIGHT LOWER SIDE OF THE TANK, CONSUMER REPLACED THE TANK WITH THE SAME TYPE OF PLASTIC.*JB

AT 78,597 MILES CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE NOT TO STOP PROPERLY. SLAVE CYLINDER BEEN REPLACED ON FOUR OCCASIONS. ALL REPAIRS WERE DONE BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE US WITH ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK

SEAT BELTS WON'T LOCK IN PLACE. CONSUMER IS GOING TO REPLACE SEAT BELT AT CONSUMER'S COST.*AK

VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED 4 TIMES FOR RECALL 94V106000/ FUEL PUMP. DEALERS SIMPLY SAID THAT IT WAS CONSUMER'S PROBLEM TO REPAIR IT. SEAL IS LEAKING & THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT KEEPS HAPPENING.*AK

I HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND IN DOING SO FOUND OUT THAT THE FRAME ON MY JEEP IS COMPETELY RUSTED THROUGH. YOU CAN PUT A JACK KNIFE THROUGH IT ANYWHERE. THIS WAS NOT FOUND UNTIL THE PROTECTION PANS UNDER THE JEEP WERE REMOVED. THIS JEEP HAS NOT BEEN USED TO 4 WHEEL OFF ROAD AT AL AND HAS BEN USED AS MY MAIN VEHICLE, WELL KEPT UP AND MAINTAINED. I BOUGHT THIS TYPE OF AUTO BECAUSE OF THE SUPPOSED REPUTATION AND BECAUSE THEY ARE A VEHICLE WHICH HOLDS UP FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I AM DISABLED AND RELY SOELY ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT TO BE TRUSTED ON THE ROAD AT ALL. PLEASE HELP ME, THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS 1992 VEHICLE TO BE IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION. *AK
