THE 2001 JEEP JUST CAME TO A STOP WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAD ALWAYS HAD ENGINE ISSUES. THE FRONT WHEEL SUSPENSION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO IS BENT AND WHILE DRIVING IT ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO THE LEFT AND IS UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING IT ON A HIGHWAY OR STREET.

THERE IS ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE CAR AS WELL WHERE THE RADIO DOESN'T PLAY AS WELL AS OTHER ELECTRICAL PARTS DON'T WORK.

THE CAR COOLANT FINISHED

THE 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE THE INJECTORS GET REALLY HOT AND CAUSE ENGINE MISFIRE AND COULD CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BEING RIGHT UNDERNEATH THEM. THE RECALL WAS ALREADY ISSUE FOR THESE JEEPS BY PROVIDING INSULATORS THAT ARE PUT ON THE INJECTORS AND BETWEEN ON THE INJECTORS AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. MY JEEP ALREADY HAD THE INSULATOR INSTALLED BUT BECAUSE THE VALVE COVER GASKET BROKE AND LEAKED OIL ALL OVER THE INSULATOR BLANKET AND SOAKED IT WITH OIL AND MADE IT A FIRE A HAZARD, I THREW IT AWAY THINKING THAT I CAN JUST BUY A NEW ONE FROM CHRYSLER. I WENT ONTO IWANTMOPAR.COM, A FCA DEALERSHIP (MCGOVERN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM ON 777 WASHINGTON ST, NEWTON, MA 02460), AND ORDERED SIX INJECTOR SHIELDS AND AN INSULATOR BLANKET TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ON MY JEEP. THREE WEEK PASSED AND I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THEM REFUSING TO SELL ME THE RECALL PARTS, STATING THAT MY JEEP HAD THESE PARTS ALREADY. HOW CAN A DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO SELL ME PARTS THAT MAKE MY JEEP SAFE AND COMPLIANT WITH FEDERAL LAWS? THANKS

THIS JEEP WILL RUN FINE, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO RED LIGHTS AND IDLE, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND NOT TURN ON AGAIN FOR ATLEAST 10 MINUTES. SPENT ABOUT 3,000 USD TO FIX AT MULTIPLE MECHANIC AND THE ISSUE REMAINS. WHY HAS JEEP NEVER TAKEN THE TIME TO RECALL THIS ISSUE AS IT CAN CAUSE THE LIVES OF MANY DRIVERS.
