The driver's door hinges came off the body of the jeep while driving down the highway. The passenger side hinges are also loose. It looks to be faulty welding on the part of the manufactorer.

1993 jeep cherokee underbody fire hazard.*mr the consumer explained that this vehicle had never been operated in an area with road salt but he still chose to have the dealer undercoat the entire vehicle. When the consuemr relocated to another area he checked under the vehcle and found several small holes and was able to see the vehicle's interior carpet. He removed the rear seats and found that the floor board had been rotting from the inside out above the exhaust system. The consumer believes the water is from the extreme heat from the exhaust followed by rapid cooling.

The passenger door upper hinge had slowly become unattached to the body of the vehicle. There was never any rough usage of the door. The hinge now is completely unattached and the door is useless and cannot be opened for fear of it falling off. The driver door is just now showing signs of the same problem. This vehicle was well taken care of during its ownership. This is a manufacture defect that we need to take care of and simply cannot afford it. I hate to see my wife riding in the back seat. It isn't right. It's not our fault.

When jeep gets to running temperature (5-10 minutes) it will back and stall when you go to take off from a stop. Very dangerous when merging with traffic or at busy intersection. Had been in shop for 10 weeks, replaced computer, tried many sensor replacements to no avail, mechanic gave up, now at dealership where they can find nothing wrong (no computer code stored) when it is just running.they have not driven it on the road for fear of breaking down in traffic. Can not get it started again until it "cools down" oil pressure gauge reading very high (any correlation?) was an intermittent problem at first,( started last dec., bought it in nov) now chronic, with every drive. The last time I drove it, it was also starting off in third gear (automatic) although the computer replacement (remanufactured) seems to have fixed that, although I also had the transmission fluid and filter changed. (I had not experienced any transmission problems up to then) hood latch seems to have a problem and battery recently died, needing replacement.
