Dear sirs,i have discovered a very dangerous electrical hazard that is occurring on all the 1990's jeep cherokee se models. On the 4.0 liter 242 cubic inch models, the dashboard switch that controls the airflow after only a few years of use shorts out melting and causing a severe danger problem. When this brown plug melts it also shorts out the 30 amp fuse that is connected to this area. After investigating several of these same models it is a dangerous design fault that needs to be addressed. Can you please take some corrective action before someone gets injured or killed from this?the next email will show an example of two different 1990's jeep cherokee's with several pics and both vehicle's v.i.n.# information.my 1995 jeep was purchased brand new by my late father and after 23 years of use it only has 113k original miles on it. This jeep remains a strong garage kept o.e.m. Matching numbers #3 car not a #1 concours. I am afraid if i use the switch sooner or later it will catch on fire as a result of this flaw design. I have every maintenance receipt including the original sales sticker and all documents from its birth in 1995. The vehicle since birth has had zero modifications done to it and has been kept in it's original condition just as it rolled off the assembly line in 1995.on june 10, 2018 at 9.15 pm e.s.t. I spoke to a customer care jeep rep at 877-426-5337 who did issue a case # for this of 345-103-88. She did advise it will be sent up thru the company's chain of communication. I am hoping jeep usa will take note of this and follow up as i do not want to loose my jeep that is and has been a keepsake sacred family heirloom that must be passed on. I can only hope and pray that nobody else has already had serious injury or death as a result of this design flaw.

This is a safety issue with this 95 cherokee, the three mount bolts for the engine mount have sheared twice in the last four years, i read in the newspaper a lady wrote in who had a similar problem and lost control of her vehicle. I believe a research of jeep's inventory and service records for these bolts i wll show a high level of activity that should warrant a recall to install stronger bolts. These bolts could fail in a intersted crusing scenario and seriously injury or kill the occupants. The dealer said this is an ongoing problem with certain cherokees. I believe jeep has swept this serious problem under the rug, and now the vehicle is out of production, but a huge number are still on the road. Over all this vehicle has been one of the best we have ever owned, except for this dangerous safety issue that until has not been rectified by the factory. Fyi, the second set of bolts installed the dealer went with non-oem bolts due to a lack of confidence in the jeep bolts called out in the parts catalog! regards,george kaseydt

I would like an independant review of the seatbelt failure.chrysler insists that a chrysler dealer review the incident, but i am not confidant of an impartial review.i have had the front seat belts replaced under recall twice and had asked for the rear seat belts to be looked at.chrysler refused.what actions should i take at this point?i am concerned about my other seatbelt and other similar jeep safety issues with my jeep and others.thank you.
Seatbelt gets caught up on sharp corner of guide causing belt to tear in several places.compressor of air conditioner makes loud squeel noise.both reported to jeep of ontario.air conditioner never fixed after 4 reports to dealer in ontario.seatbelt fixed at my expense with the dealer claiming belt's damage caused by slamming in door, i have the belt assembly showing no evidence of being slammed in door; but evidence of being torn by sharp point in guide.
When i hit the brake my driver seat belt pulled out of the latch.seat belt will no longer buckle.latch is broken. I am currently looking into purchasing a new seat belt but am having difficulty finding the part .the seat belt is:date mfg:m494942model #:5cr95pt no.55314573

Front rotors failed.
While on vacation we suddenly lost our front brakes on both sides of our jeep cherokee sport.when a local mechanic looked at it, he discovered that both front rotors had rusted and completely separated from themselves.the flat larger part that the brake pads clings to, were not attached to the smaller part that the wheel is hooked to.luckily we were able to stop the vehicle with the emergency brake and were unhurt.the mechanic said that he had never seen both rotors go at the same time.upon questioning the dealership where we bought the vehicle, they relunctently said that there was a recall, but people were not notified.after searching your sight, i found such a recall, but for older models.our's is a 1995 jeep cherokee and we could have been killed by such a safety hazard.we are currently trying to come to some resolution with the dealership, regarding our repair bill.why are owners not being notified of these safety hazards?? please update the recall to extend to newer vehicles!!please contact us with further information.thank you.shanon albee

Brakes lock up at random.
I acquired this vehicle specifically because it had 4-wheel anti-lock brakes. A few weeks ago, for the first time, i had to perform a "hard brake" to avoid hitting three deer. Much to my surprise, i had "hard pedal"but virtually no brakes! i narrowly avoided oncoming traffic and limped into my driveway. Noone could understand how i could have hard pedal without brakes. (all relays proved to be okay.) i had the car towed to a local tire dealer to see if they could determine what was wrong. They were astonished to find that both rotors had separated from their hubs as the result of the hard brake. They advised that they thought it had to be a defect in the metal and advised me to take it to my local jeep dealer, cooper motors, in stevens point, wisconsin. The service manager at cooper motors was so astonished to see the separated parts, that he called all the service technicians to the counter to see the parts. However, most of them acknowledged that they had seen this before on a routine basis. If jeep rotor are separating from their hubs and causinig accidents, who would know? if it were discovered during a crash investigation, it would be assumed that it was the consequence of the accident, while, in fact it may actually be the cause! jeep's comments were to advise me that rotors were only warranteed to 10,000 miles; no mention that one should expect rotors to dis-attach!

In april 2000 my vehicle was taken to triboro in response to the recall that called for the rotors to be replaced.in september 2000 i returned the vehicle to triboro a unrelated repair and was informed that the brakes and rotors needed replacement.upon returning home we realized that the rotors were "alledgedly new"however a brake repair shop related that the rotors appear to be old and not the new coated rotors required under the recall.upon contact with triboro and having them check their computer to confirm the "new rotors"we were told that we probably wore them out with bad pads.we tryed to reason with them in regards to the unlikelihood of new rotors needing replacement after only 10,000 miles, but they were un yielding.in contacting the chysler corporation recall division, we were instructed to take the vehicle to another dealer and get a estimate on the replacement of brakes and the condition of the rotors, at our expense.we are very concerned now about having to put out money to confirm that the recall replacement was not performed.in contact with our local congressional office has informed us that it is best to contact this office and that the necessary action would be taken to correct this matter.thank you for your time and anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Seperation of passengers side door weld hinge. Please describe in more detail.
A few weeks ago the drivers side door on my 1995 jeep cherokee started to be difficult to close. It quickly got worse and then i noticed that the top door hinge had separated from the frame. It looked like the manufacturer's weld had failed. Soon the entire upper hinge came off and the door was hanging on by the lower hinge only. I called the daimler chrysler customer service and was provided a copy of their tech service bulletin 23-030-01, which provided dealers with instructions on how to fix this defect. I took it to the local dealer and 2 separate local body shops. All the technicians that i talked to expressed disbelief that chrysler-jeep had not issued a recall. They had repaired many similar defects previously. I believe it is a safety concern because the door is impossible to secure when the defect starts and could possibly fall off the vehicle whicle on the highway. Chrysler customer service said they would not reimburse me for the cost of repair, which was $280.00. I think chrysler-jeep should be forced to recall and pay for repairs to this defect. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Front driver's side door hinge failed.door is falling off and will cost $1,600 to repair.i contacted daimler/chrysler and asked if they were aware of any such problems with door hinges.they said they researched it and informed there have never been any similar complaints.did some research and found there have been over 2,500 customer complaints and 30,000 warranty claims for 93-95 jeeps, approximately 10% of all jeeps made in those years, for this exact same problem.called back and spoke with senior staff agent luke alward.asked him to find out if there were ever any customer complaints or warranty claims.he replied there had never been any problems, and what did i expect with an 8 year old car with 53,000 miles on it.when confronted with the data that daimler had provided to nhtsa regarding 30,000 warranty claims, he said he did not have that information.i told him i would fax info to him, but he said decision not to financially reimburse had been made, and there was no appeal process.i believe daimler has not engaged in fair dealings with me.i believe the nhtsa should issue a recall on this part, since over 30,000 people have had this same problem, and daimler clearly put out a defective product.

Towing a horse trailer plus 2 heavy horses full fuel load. Vehicle sweaved out of control round a roundabout .damage was slight as vehicle jack knifed.the local jeep dealer informed me i had the early soft springs on the vehicle not recommended fortowing. I contacted jeep who informed me that jeep had stiffened the springs to prevent sagging leaf springs.and if i ordered a new part it would reduce the problem of unstable towing . I noted that the replacement spring has stronger clamps longer and stonger locating pegs.i asked if their had being a recall as the vehicle was not fit for purpose (uk law)if the original springs were inadaquate to prevent severe swaying .i was told i should have brought a1997 car or a diesel version introduced in 1995 in the uk which had being fitted with stronger springs .i asked the uk if they could find out why jeep had lowered the recommended "tongue wt" on the 1997 vehicleby 30 kgs was it because the earlier recommendations wer to high for the "soft springs to cope with no reply .i asked why the only difference between the 1995 and 1997 owners hand book was a longer trailer towing section including the addition of the words "strongly "sway from side to side ,why had they changed the warnings had theri being any reported accidents while towing on the "sagging springs" ..they now refuse to answer any more questions in the uk can you help in the us ?i believe if the uk 4.0 jeep is fully loaded to its makimum wt it will not be stabel due to the agreed fault that 1992/3/4/5 springs "sag due to early fatigue problems.

I have a 1995 cherokee 4x4 "sport" model... I've managed to break at least 4 sets of motor mount bolts since i bought (new) the vehicle... I'm not saying that the vehicle is a lemon, but the motor mount bolts do have a certain citrus flavor to them... Up until the most recent incident, chrysler has been covering them as a waranty repair, so it has just been inconvenient and i have been willing to live with their design defect... This time, they say that since i had over 40k miles on the last set of bolts, then they would not cover them... Don't know how many miles i've been driving with them broken since the center one was still in there, so the engine did not drop down like it normally does after the bolts shear off... I only noticed it this time when i discovered that the radiator is leaking... I'm looking at a $800-900 repair for both items... When this last occurred, i called the chrysler service line and started up a "care" issue with them, giving them all the information that i had on the problem... They didn't seem all that concerned with finding the cause of the problem and since it had been less than 12 months / 12,000 miles since the last motor mount bolt replacement, they would cover it as a warranty repair... I suspect that chrysler believes that it is cheaper to just keep repairing the symptoms instead of determining the actual problem... Unfortunately, this time, they are making me pay for their design defect.
