Spring in lfseat belt buckle broke. Seat belt couldn't buckle with out several attempts and would then pop out of buckle with a minimum of force. The seat belt was completely unreliable and a very dangerous situation. I called the dealer and said that the defective buckle should be replaced at no chargebecause the basic safety features should last the life of the vehicle. I have never seen or heard of such a failure. The dealer and the manufacturer told me that i am on my own in this regard. I feel that this basic safety feature should be covered for the life of the vehicle. The jeep is in very good condition and is maintained meticulously. There has not been any abuse of this seat belt buckle. I suspect that you will find a history and pattern of seat belt failure in chrysler products. Please advise me of your decision.

Parts distribution disconnect.
The contact owns a 1990 jeep cherokee. The contact stated that there was a failure with the brake actuator piston assembly and the brake pump. The contact stated that both parts had been previously replaced. Hawk chrysler dodge jeep (7911 w roosevelt rd, forest park, il 60130, (708) 366-1001) and the manufacturer were contacted, but refused to provide a lifetime warranty for both parts. The vehicle was not included in a recall or lifetime warranty for the parts. The manufacturer provided no solution other than having the dealer replace the part. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.
The contact owns a 1990 jeep cherokee. While the brake pedal was depressed, there was an abnormal noise coming from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 96v260000 (service brakes, hydraulic) years before the failure. The vehicle was taken to crown dodge chrysler jeep ram (6300 king dr, ventura, ca 93003) where it was diagnosed that the brake actuator assembly and the pump motor assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired because the manufacturer was no longer making the parts. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000. The vin was not provided.
My 4year old daughter and i were on our way home when my brakes almost completely went out at about 45mph. Luckily we were on a straight country backroad with a gravel shoulder to aid in slowing down. Towed the jeep to the chrysler dealership 2 weeks later for a diagnostic on 04/24/2017 where they confirmed the issue to be the actuator pump under a #702 recall. I was given 2 options, sell my jeep to chrysler for ~$600 or get it replaced with aftermarket parts with both parts and labor to be covered by chrysler. Considering i had purchased the xj (so clean at the time) for $3000 plus had dropped $1,100 on new tires two months prior in february i did not find selling it for ~$600 a financially wise decision. So i opted with getting the parts replaced. Well for the past 4 months now whenever i check in on my jeep, the chrysler dealership informs me they are still waiting on part numbers from chrysler since the current employees have not come across this recall yet and when i contact chrysler i am just informed that they no longer make the original parts and are still searching for one left out there. This last week they informed me that they were unable to locate an original part plus the offer still stands for ~$600. I have yet to get a response this past week about the other option i originally agreed upon (replacing with aftermarket parts). I don't see $600 as a solution to the recall as both nada and kbb price my jeep from $2,200-$4,900 in my area (bend, or). I would really love to get my beloved jeep back up to safety standards for my daughter and i. I love jeep, probably always will but i don't want to be shorted money or safety because of neglect to repair. Thanks for taking your time to read this.

S10 direct reply- letter to the secretary from constituent re a copy of a letter to the vice president regarding a car accident in arcadia, fl in march 2013.a 1990 jeep cherokee was in a drainage ditch, across from two other vehicles, that were parked. The owners daughter got behind the wheel of the jeep,started it and placed it in drive, with the intention of removing it from the ditch, as she floored the gas pedal, the jeep flew out of the ditch going airborne, and knocked down the owner to the ground, causing bruises, next, the jeep flew over the road never touching the pavement, the driver did not attempt to stop the vehicle, presumably out of fear, until it rested on top of two parked vehicle.the driver, who was not licensed, claimed there was an issue with the brakes and the accelerator. However, the wrecker service, who was a highly experienced certified mechanic stated there was nothing wrong with the brakes or accelerator pedals, and the vehicle had to be in park in order to start it.
The infamous bendix abs motor/pump assembly failed for the third time resulting in a loss of virtually all stopping ability. On previous occasions (1997 & 2007), chrysler repaired the vehicle pursuant to the "lifetime warranty" imposed in connection with recall #702. It has been more than 5 weeks since the local dealer diagnosed this recurring defect but both they and chrysler claim an inability to fix it due to the unavailability to obtain the referenced abs booster unit.this assertion is false. More than 5200 jeeps were recalled and a rebuildable core was obtained for each installation. Chrysler is either making no effort to obtain existing units or failing to have new ones manufactured. There is not a single one in dealer inventory in the u.s. And no deliveries are scheduled. Chrysler is hoping that by telling a customer that the item is "backordered", he/she will simply go away as if such a status was an unavoidable act of god. Chrysler's refusal to honor their obligation is putting many drivers at risk as some are certainly driving those jeeps with unassisted braking waiting for the part that will never arrive. I found numerous messages on jeep forum websites wherein 1990 owners were complaining of this part unavailability scam as early as 1999. Nhtsa needs to compel compliance through every available means forthwith.

The contact owns a 1990 jeep cherokee. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and noticed a hesitation in brakes response.

The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 96v260000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock) but was advised by the manufacturer that the vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.

The vechile began experiencing intermittent brake failure at travel speeds from 0-45mph. During failure, the brakes when applied begin to slow the vechile and then pedal power is lost and braking ability is lost. When the pedal is released and quickly redrpressed the brake power is restored.chrysler motor corporation has been contacted about the failures. The local dealer performermed a prom test but could not determine the nature of the failure. The local dealer then suggested that the master cylinder was most likely faulty, but refused to cover it under a nhtsa recall. An automotive repair shop replaced the master cylinder at a cost of $600. The brakes failed again after the master cylinder was replace. The failure was reported to chysler who suggested a second dealer to check the abs system. The second dealer performed a series of test to the vehicle braking system and determined that the abs accumulator pump assembly was defective and replaced it at a cost of more than $319.00. The delearship refused to cover the repair under the recall, and the local zone manager refused to replaced those parts outlined in the nhtsa bulletin as related to this type of failure. The local dealer then assured that the repair had corrected the failure,as determined by his test. Less than one week after the second repair the vechile again experienced intermittent brake failure, of the same type (loss of braking and pedal power). This incident occured on august 30,1999. The failure was reported to the dealer, who suggested that the vechile was unsafe to drive and towed it back for examination. The dealer then preformed tests and reported that the brake sensors were not properly calibrated. The dealer was asked to perform the repairs as mandated by the nhtsa. The dealer refused to perform the repairs stating that the test did not indicate they were necessary. The repairs to the abs brake sensors were made at a cost of more than $149.00 plus towing.

Vehicle goes into open throttle position while driving, high idle. To stop vehicle applied brakes reallyhard.
Vehicle experiences high idle after start; difficult ti control at stops. Replaced tp sensor.
Vehicle surges, then dies.
My vehicle had a sticker indicating that the tps recall had been completed prior to my ownership. I have been experiencing the same problems with the tps that caused the original recall on the part. The throttle position sensor has been causing intermittent high engine idle speeds immediately after starting the engine. The idle cannot be reduced by tapping the gas pedal. The rpms continue to increase until i turn my vehicle off. I have to restart the engine anywhere from 1 to 6 times before i can get a normal idle speed. I have had several instances where the idle speed has increased when i placed it in gear. It has been so bad that even with my foot completely pressed on the brake the car still moves. This is completely unsafe and i feel that this part should be replaced with one that actually works right. I am wondering whether the original part was actually replaced when the recall was supposedly completed on this vehicle or whether the replacement part is just as faulty and dangerous as the original. I have taken my jeep to several mechanics for this and a number of other problems since i purchased it a year ago. So far everyone i've taken it to including the certified jeep dealer/ service in chico, ca., courtesy motors has told me that the tps is malfunctioning and causing my car to accelerate at its own will. I took my car to the dealer on august 10, 1999 for a complete diagnostic check and was told that, among a seriosly long list of other things, this part was seriously malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. Another asc certified mechanic at grand auto in chico told me today that this part should definitely be replaceable under the original recall: nhtsa campaign id number: 90v177000 for replacement of the fuel injection idle speed control unit. Please call me at your earliest convenience at :(530)893-0684home or(530)218-4826work . Thank you. Sincerely, deborah davis
Jeep will idle fast unexpectedly (2000-4000 rpm). Needed to remove idle control valve and scrub clean, as high idle speed is due to the rod sticking in the throttle body. Was stopped at light during snowstorm with family when rear wheels began to spin. Placed jeep in neutral and idle was over 3000 rpm. Carefully completed trip home (less than 1 mile) and thoroughly cleaned idle control valve. Has happened 3 times since. Design flaw in chrysler's throttle body. Chrysler seems to blame this problem on 'wrong pedal application', but i have shown otherwise, as when the high idle occurred, i was stopped at a light with my foot firmly on the brake pedal.

S10 direct reply- letter to the secretary from constituent re a copy of a letter to the vice president regarding a car accident in arcadia, fl in march 2013.a 1990 jeep cherokee was in a drainage ditch, across from two other vehicles, that were parked. The owners daughter got behind the wheel of the jeep,started it and placed it in drive, with the intention of removing it from the ditch, as she floored the gas pedal, the jeep flew out of the ditch going airborne, and knocked down the owner to the ground, causing bruises, next, the jeep flew over the road never touching the pavement, the driver did not attempt to stop the vehicle, presumably out of fear, until it rested on top of two parked vehicle.the driver, who was not licensed, claimed there was an issue with the brakes and the accelerator. However, the wrecker service, who was a highly experienced certified mechanic stated there was nothing wrong with the brakes or accelerator pedals, and the vehicle had to be in park in order to start it.

I have owned a jeep cherokee sport which was purchased new in 1990 for years now. I have experienced sudden acceleration events more than ten times now, most recently in 2008. It seems each time i will be driving along, possibly braking, and zoom! the engine revs and the vehicle accelerates.it is like driving a car out of control. I am aware that chrysler has blamed such occurrences on operator error but, more than once now, i have checked to be sure my foot was not on the gas pedal when this acceleration was happening. The whole time i'm stomping on the brake but the vehicle accelerates against it causing the vehicle to go faster even though i'm braking. This has happened to me enough times that i have even had nightmares about it. I know i should just buy a new vehicle but i morally i could not sell it to anyone, nor trade it in, because i know this problem is real. I think chrysler needs to be held accountable for the many accidents this has undoubtedly caused over the years.
