APPROX. 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NOTICED WHEN HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD THE ENGINE WOULD JUMP. NOT A CONSTANT PROBLEM BUT HAPPENS AT UNEXPECTED TIMES. AT FIRST THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE TRANSMISSION BUT AFTER TECH FROM DEALER CHECKED SEEMED TO THINK MIGHT BE COIL DISTRIBUTOR AND PLUG WIRES AND CLEAN THROTTLE BODY. PROBLEM CONTINUED THEN WAS TOLD WAS PICK UP PLATE IN TRANSAXEL. MISS IN ENGINE CONTINUED AND STARTED GETTING WORSE. PUT IN SHOP AGAIN, DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED THE BRAIN IN THE COMPUTER AND REPLACED 3 MOTOR MOUNTS AND SAID THIS WOULD CURE THE PROBLEM. AFTER THAT HAVE HAD TO HAVE IN SHOP AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH WITH MISS GETTING WORSE AND OCCURING ON ACCLERATION. VEHICLE JUMPS UP TO 10 TO 12 TIMES WHEN THIS OCCURS. DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AND IS GOING THROUGH THE WIRING. A FLIGHT RECORDER WAS HOOKED UP AND DEALERSHIP SAID THE READING WAS CLEAN EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE MALFUNCIONED 3 TIMES.

I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR MY WIFE'S CAR FROM NAPA, MANUFACTURED BY EXIDE. I PLACED THE BATTERY ON MY FRONT SEAT, AND LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT TO RETURN THE NEXT DAY. SULFURIC ACID LEAKED FROM THE BATTERY AND RUINED THE SEAT UPHOLSTERY. THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS IT IS NOT DEFECTIVE AFTER PERFORMING A PRESSURE TEST ON IT. DO I HAVE ANY OTHER RECOURSE, OR ARE THEIR FINDINGS FINAL?? AS THE UNIT WAS NEVER PUT INTO USE, I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER HAS TO HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS MATTER. ARE BATTERIES INTENDED TO LEAK SULFURIC ACID AT ANY TIME AFTER MANUFACTURE, EITHER IN SERVICE OR DELIVERY?? PLEASE ADVISE ME REGARDING MY SITUATION AND WHETHER I HAVE ANY BASIS FOR MY CLAIM. THANK YOU. *AK

ENGINE MOUNTS SHEARED OFF WHILE TRAVELING, HAPPENED THREE TIMES

1) THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS NOT CLOSING COMPLETELY. UPON A VISUAL INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT THE HINGE WELD HAS STARTED TO FAIL. I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION WITH THIS PROBLEM. I NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN INVESTIGATION WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. 2) MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE THAT SHE WAS DRIVING WAS HIT IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER JEEP CHEROKEE TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE OTHER VEHICLE JEEP CHEROKEE INVOLVED DID NOT DEPLOY IT'S AIRBAG EITHER. THE DAMAGE TO OUR JEEP CHEROKEE WAS APPROX $3,000 TO REPAIR. I FEEL THAT THE DAMAGE WAS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO WARRANT THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYMENT. IF THERE ARE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME.

MY 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT EXPERIENCED SUDDEN/RAPID ACCELERATION AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE.
