1994 JEEP CHEROKEE Structurebodydoor Problems

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BOLT CAME OUT AND WEAKENED THE PART THAT CONNECTS THE DOOR TO THE CAR AND ALMOST MADE THE DOOR FALL OFF. IT HAD TO BE WELDED BACK TOGETHER. *JB

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DRIVERS DOOR DETACHED COMPLETELY FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE DRIVER OPENED THE DOOR. TS

I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE ON THIS WEB SITE AND THE INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED FOR THE SECOND TIME. I HAD THIS FIXED AND IT HAS BROKEN AGAIN IN LESS THAN A YEAR! NOW THE PASSANGER SIDE IS STARTING TO CRACK. AS MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE IS FRUSTRATING! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. NOBODY HAD CONTACTED ME ABOUT THIS I HAVE PICTURES. I HAVE A CHILD THAT RIDES IN THIS VEHICLE (THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I OWN) AND I FEAR THAT SOMETHING BAD COULD HAPPEN IF CHRYSLER/JEEP IS NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT. PLEASE HELP!!!! DT

ALL DOOR ASSEMBLY WELDS ARE FAILING, HAVE TRIED SENDING MAIL TO CHRYSLER NO RESPONSE TRIED TO DEAL WITH LOCAL DEALER, NO RESPONSE, JUST SEEM TO BE GETTING THE RUN AROUND , PER BODY SHOPS IN THIS AREA THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH JEEP.*AK

PLEASE HELP ME, I HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP BUT NONE OF THEM ARE ACTUAL RECALLS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THEM MYSELF. PLEASE SEND ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR STARTED TO SAG/FALL OFF IN MAY OF 1999. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY PROCEEDED TO WELD IT FOR ME. IT IS SAGGING AGAIN. OF MORE CONCERN, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS FALLING OFF. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND AM AFRAID FOR HER SAFETY. WIND RUSHES IN WHILE DRIVING. CHRYSLER SAYS YOU HAVE TO ESTABLISH A RECALL BEFORE THEY WILL FIX IT AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THE COST TO BE AROUND $700. AFTER RESEARCHING THE WEB I HAVE FOUND 149 OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS YEAR. I HAVE READ THAT BODY SHOP PERSONNEL REPORT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN A 2-DOOR JEEP WITH THE DOORS NOT FALLING OFF. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT OUT LIVE THE DOOR HINGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN RESOLVING THIS.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

AFTER SEEING MANY, MANY OTHER REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM, I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD REPAIR OUR VEHICLES AT NO COST TO US, THEIR CUSTOMERS. NO SAFETY DEFECT INCLUDED IN SUMMARY. *AK

THE WELD WHICH HELD THE DOOR TO THE FRAME CRACKED AND CAUSED THE DOOR TO SEPARATE FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. DEALER HAD BEEN CONTACTED.*AK CONSUMER FOUND NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE95047 IN THE INVESTIGATIONS DATABASE, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS SO HIGH THAT THE FAILURE WAS A RESULT OF WEAR AND TEAR. *SLC *JB

DOOR ASSEMBLY WELDS ON DRIVER'S SIDE HAVE BROKEN LOOSE. THIS HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION PE 95047.*AK

WELDS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAVE COME OFF. DOOR HAS TO REMAIN CLOSED AT ALL TIMES. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

MY DRIVERS DOOR ON MY 1994 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT HAS FALLEN OFF. THERE IS NO RUST OR ROTTING. THE BRACKET MOUNTED TO THE BODY WHICH WAS USED TO WELD THE HINGES, COMPLETELY FELL OFF. THE BRACKET ON THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR IS DOING THE SAME THING. I ALSO KNOW OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AROUND THE SAME YEAR THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED. IF NEED BE, I'LL TRY TO OBTAIN THE OWNER'S INFORMATION. THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. DOORS ON A VEHICLE JUST DON'T FALL OFF WITHOUT DAMAGE, RUST ETC.

CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE THESE FREQUENT PROBLEMS ARE ALL DUE TO POOR DESIGN.

NO SUMMARY

WITH THE LISTING OF SO MANY OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOOR HINGE FAILURES FOR 1994 JEEP CHEROKEES, IS THERE ANY KIND OF FACTORY RECALL ON THIS?

UPPER DOOR HINGE ON DRIVER SIDE IS RUSTING, DOOR IS FALLING OFF.

POOR DESIGN HAS DOOR HINGE WELDED TO UNSUPPORTED SHEET METAL. DOOR COMES LOOSE AND SOMETIMES FALLS OFF. DEALER DENIED IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT AND WANTED AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT TO REPAIR IT. HAD OUR LOCAL BODY SHOP REPAIR IT. IT HAS FAILED 3 TIMES. MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP ALLUDED THAT THEY RECEIVE SEVERAL OF THESE A MONTH.

WHILE OPENING DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR TORE AWAY FROM THE METAL POST ON ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WHICH LEFT THE HINGES STILL ATTACHED TO THE DOOR. DEALER NOTIFIED AND REFUSED TO REPAIR UNLESS COST GOES TO CONSUMER. BODY SHOP DETERMINED THE WELD WAS DEFECTIVE. *ML

LEFT DOOR PULLING AWAY FROM WELD, DIFFICULT TO CLOSE, RAIN LEAKS IN, LOUD WIND SOUNDS, RIGHT DOOR STARTING TO DO SAME THING.

BOTH FRONT DOORS WERE SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME, DOORS DROPPED IN PLACE AND WERE IN DANGER OF FALLING OFF. CONSUMER HAD CONTACTED DEALER WHO TOLD CONSUMER THIS HAD BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, AND OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF THE COST OF REPAIR. *AK *ML
