When jeep gets to running temperature (5-10 minutes) it will back and stall when you go to take off from a stop. Very dangerous when merging with traffic or at busy intersection. Had been in shop for 10 weeks, replaced computer, tried many sensor replacements to no avail, mechanic gave up, now at dealership where they can find nothing wrong (no computer code stored) when it is just running.they have not driven it on the road for fear of breaking down in traffic. Can not get it started again until it "cools down" oil pressure gauge reading very high (any correlation?) was an intermittent problem at first,( started last dec., bought it in nov) now chronic, with every drive. The last time i drove it, it was also starting off in third gear (automatic) although the computer replacement (remanufactured) seems to have fixed that, although i also had the transmission fluid and filter changed. (i had not experienced any transmission problems up to then) hood latch seems to have a problem and battery recently died, needing replacement.*la

I began to smell gasoline approxmately 2 months ago.i took my jeep to jim cogdill dodge.they could not locate the caus. After two trips there,they suggested that i take it to a jeep dealer.since i had purchased the vehicle at delmar haynes, i took it back to them.i have had the vehicle there four times now.the first visit, they made replacments to parts that cogdill felt were not necessary from there investigation earlier.i made the second trip.they looked at it for over 2 hours and could not find the problem.i had to have my vehicle for transportation.i left and decided to return back the next day.i asked them to cold start and see if they could see the problem that i had been describing.they found a fuel injector bad.that was replaced at a cost of 88.00, plus 60.00 for the rental car for two days.the parts had to be shipped in from atlanta.i drove the jeep and smelled odors but was advised that that would occur due to the maintaince that was performed.after a couple of days i began to smell the gasoline again.i put up with it for a week, and decided that i did not wantmy vehicle to catch on fire and cause loss of home and possibly body loss as well.i returned my jeep to delmar haynes on 1-12-00.i asked them to cold start it again and see if they could see the trouble.gut feeling on my part was the fuel injectors would all have to be replaced.bingo!!i got the called earlier today and that th the need f repair.at a cost of $88.00 per, you can see that i have paid quite a bit of money for the repair that has not been taken place on the earlier visits.i like my jeep.it is paid for and i do not want to have to go to the large expense of purchasing a new vehicle.i would appreciate any help or information that you can provide me in order to get the vehicle in safe running condition.delmar haynes has the vehicle at the present time.i have a loaner to drive andwas assured there would be no cost for labor or the car.

I own a 1993 jeep cherokee and the front brake caliper on the driver side locked up on july 4, 2017, while driving around town, about 15 minutes after being started, without any hard braking.the next day the caliper was replaced.today, 9/28/2017, while driving at highway speed about 20 minutes after car being started to drive to work, a shimmy developed.when i got to work a few miles later, the caliper was locked again and was smoking.in 1998, while driving my father's 1993 jeep cherokee (not the same one i now own), the same problem occurred that the driver side front brake caliper locked onto the tire and caused a lot of smoke.i assumed it was an isolated incident at the time.i understand that things will go wrong with older vehicles in the normal course of being used and becoming worn, but this seems to be a very common point of failure on this particular model and year that started happening when the vehicles were still relatively new.brake problems are an extremely dangerous thing to occupants of the vehicles in question, and the public at large, so i feel this merits being reported because everything else about this vehicle has been strong and reliable, and i still see so many of them out on the highways and city streets.i clicked "next" and one of the questions is, "was there a fire?"i am going to click yes because there was a copious amount of smoke but want to clarify here that there were no flames that i saw.

During annual state inspection, mechanic found a large area of corrosion, approximately 16 x 8 inch in floor pan above the catalytic converter. This area has a quarter size hole at the center of it, extending into the interior below the rear seat, which could allow exhaust fumes to enter the passenger compartment. The lack of a heat shield, which according to the dealer's parts department, did not exist for this model caused the undercoatingto melt and exposed the metal for corrosion.
