1994 jeep cherokee, door hinge manufacturing defect. There are two tsbs and a closed investigation concerning sagging door hing. My driver door upper hing sagging, weld is broken and now the hing plate is breaking away from the frame causing the door to sag and not close properly. Chrysler told me to take it to the dealer but that I would have to pay for the repair due to warrenty expiration. This is a known mfg defect. Shouldnt they be required to repair the failure?.

1994 jeep cherokee sport 4wd. Driver's door top hinge welded to thin metal on fender. Weld has broken and door is loose. Called two jeep dealers and they know about this problem and say that a lot of jeeps have this condition. Quoted almost the same price from both over the phone without looking at the car ($500.00). Apparently they do a lot of these repairs and they have a fix. They weld a thick plate behind the fender and then weld the hinge to that plate.
