1995 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

CONSUMER IS NOT SATISFIED WITH REIMBURSEMENT FROM MANUFACTURER, CONSUMER STATES WHEN TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH WWRANGLER AT/S TIRES, HE TOOK THE FIRESTONE TIRES BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY ONLY ACCEPTED 3 OF THE TIRES, BECAUSE THE FOURTH TIRE DID NOT HAVE THE VD SERIAL NUMBER. *JB

WHEN THE CONSUMER RETURNED HOME THEY NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND HIT A PILE OF ROCK AND LUMBER, POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILURE OR THE TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK SYSTEM. (CONSUMER DID NOT SPECIFY FAILURE) NLM

THE JEEP WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE UNEXPECTEDLY RELEASED, CAUSING THE JEEP TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, ACROSS THE STREET, DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND INTO A CONCRETE PORCH. THE BRAKE HAD BEEN CHECKED BY A MECHANIC TWO MONTHS EARLIER FOR A SIMILAR SPONTANEOUS RELEASE WITH NO WORN PARTS FOUND OR ANY DAMAGE TO THE MECHANISM.*AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND EMERGENCY BRAKE DID NOT ENGAGE, VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO AN UNOCCUPIED SCHOOL BUS. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED. FEEL FREE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK

SEAT BELT CLASP NO LONGER WORKS. BOTH MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WOULD NOT CORRECT AT THEIR EXPENSE. *AK

33 OUT OF THE 4 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL 00T005, HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT TIRES WERE NOT AS EQUAL TO THE TIRES ALREADY ON THE VEHICLE, THE CONSUMER ALSO PAID FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. (ATTORNEY REPRESENTING DAUGHTER) *SLC

AFTER PICKING MY SON UP FROM HIS SCHOOL BUS STOP, THE VEHICLE BEGAN LIGHTLY SHUDDERING AT APPROX.8-10 MPH. I THOUGHT MAYBE A WEIGHT HAD FALLEN OFF AND CONTINUED THE BLOCK AND A HALF DRIVE HOME. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AGAIN LATER IN THE EVENING, I NOTICED A MESS OF WHAT LOOKED LIKE TIRE SHAVINGS ON THE GROUND AND LOOKED CLOSELY AT THE TIRE. THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. I CHANGED THE TIRE TO THE SPARE BUT NOW AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE REMAINING TIRES AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS HAPPENING TO THEM. I AM THE MOTHER OF TWO YOUNG KIDS-RECENTLY SEPARATED FROM MY HUSBAND AND THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. THERE IS NO MONEY FOR NEW TIRES AND I AM SCARED TO DEATH OF DRIVING NOW. PLEASE ASDVISE AS TO MY RIGHTS AND THE RESPONSIBILITY/LIABILITY OF FIRESTONE. THANK YOU-MEAGAN BLACKINGTON. *AK( DOT NUMBER: VD66-6TA TIRE SIZE: 30X9.50R15 )

TURN SIGNAL ON THE FRONT DRIVER PERIODICALLY WORKED. THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE SOCKET. DEALER HAD ADVISED CONSUMER THAT THE WIRING COULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE SOCKET WAS NOT. WIRING AND SOCKET WAS IN ONE PIECE WHICH DID NOT ALLOW CONSUMER TO BUY THE SOCKET SEPARATELY.*AK

METAL ON THE SEAT ANCHOR FOR THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT HAS CRACKED. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE. *AK IN ADDITION, METAL ON TAILGATE SPARE TIRE MOUNTS AND METAL ON EMERGENCY BRAKE RATCHET ASSEMBLY BROKE DUE TO FATIGUE AND HYDROGEN ENBRITTLEMENT OF THE SHEET METAL USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THIS VEHICLE. *YH

FOR THE LAST YEAR, MY PARKING BRAKE HAS NOT WORKED AT ALL. IF ENGAGED, IT WILL RELEASE ITSELF. I TOOK THE JEEP TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A RATCHET ASSEMBLY THAT WAS BROKEN. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I STARTED HEARING OF MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I BECAME CONVINCED THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I BELIEVE A FULL INVESTIGATION SHOULD BEGIN AS I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL PEOPLE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS DEFECT. I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT AWARE THIS TYPE OF INVESTIGATION CAN BE STARTED BY SUBMITTING REPORTS SUCH AS THIS. I WAS UNAWARE UNTIL RECENTLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN. *AK
