Consumer Description

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HINGE WELD HAS FAILED AND THE DOOR IS PULLING LOOSE FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS TO NOT CLOSE PROPERLY, AND EVENTUALLY THE DOORS WILL FALL COMPLETELY OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND JEEP I HAVE HAD TO DO THIS. THE OWNER OF THE BODY SHOP WHERE I WILL HAVE THE REPAIR WORK DONE SAYS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP DOOR HINGES, HIS SHOP REPLACES THEM ON A ROUTINE BASIS. THIS IS A SAFETY FLAW IN ALL JEEP CHEROKEES. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AFTER ABOUT THREE YEARS, I FINALLY REPLACED IT BECAUSE I COULDN'T STAND THE RATTLING NOISE IT MADE.*AK
