| Tl*the contact owns a 1999 jeep cherokee. the contact stated that the factory installed amplifier caught fire while driving 75 mph. he had to disconnect the battery to stop the sparks and flames coming from the amp. he also had to cut the wires that were connected to the amp and remove the fuse for the radio. the vehicle has not been repaired. the contact feels that this is a safety issue because the amp is positioned underneath the rear passenger seat where the child safety seat is located. the current and failure mileages were 142,000. | |||

| Sunroof: in the full open position, between 30 & 50mph, with the side windows up, or partially open, a horriffic vibration is felt in the cabin which is irritating to the ears, vocal chords, is so bad, that the radio speakers seem like they are ready to break. dealer refuses to arrange a meeting with chrysler rep to discuss the problem, which i feel is attributed to a bad design, which jeep is calling wind buffeting in the owners manual, indicating they know there is this problem. the starter failed, and rocking the vehicle to a better spot on the starter allowed it to start, but vehicle is still sluggish starting at times, seeming as though the batter is weak. jeep will not replace starter until a total failure. brakes.. bad vibration due to apparent warped rotors. these are being replaced on warranty without dispute, indicating that chrysler knows there is a problem with the rotors. this vehicle seems to be the lemon of the fleet only giving a maximum of 14.5mpg, highway, and less in city only, and does not idle smooth. *ak | |||

| Spare tire mounted on left side blocks view of driver. should be on right side of vehicle behind driver. this is a rhd vehicle used for mail delivery. have almost hit 2 cars that were blocked from my view by the tire. chrysler said the right panel will not hold the spare and the only options are to lay the tire down on the floor or purchase a roof rack and mount it on the roof. | |||
