I complained about this before on this web site and the investigation was closed for the second time. I had this fixed and it has broken again in less than a year! Now the passanger side is starting to crack. As many people that have complained about this and nothing has been done is frustrating! This is a huge safety problem. Nobody had contacted me about this I have pictures. I have a child that rides in this vehicle (this is the only one I own) and I fear that something bad could happen if chrysler/jeep is not held accountable for this defect. Please help!!!! Dt

My driver's side door started to sag/fall off in may of 1999. I contacted chrysler and they proceeded to weld it for me. It is sagging again. Of more concern, the passenger side door is falling off. I have a small child and am afraid for her safety. Wind rushes in while driving. Chrysler says you have to establish a recall before they will fix it again. I understand the cost to be around $700. After researching the web I have found 149 other complaints for this year. I have read that body shop personnel report they have never seen a 2-door jeep with the doors not falling off. Obviously, it is a defective design. The engine should not out live the door hinge. Thank you for your help in resolving this.
Door hinge failure, caused door to not latch correctly and open while making a turn.
Driver side door hinge weld failed in 1998 at approximately 85,000 miles. Repair made under extended warranty previously purchased from dealership. Passanger door failure estimated to have occured approximately 9 months ago, but due to limited use of passanger side door, failure of weld went unnoticed. This is not a wear related failure, but essentially a defective weld joint between the hinge and body. Chysler has refused to pay for repairs, although the car was covered under an extended warranty of 7 years. Technically, the car is 7 months out of its extended warranty, and driver door had the identically same failure.
Driver's side rear door hinge broke away from door frame. Looked like driver's door hinnge was coming off also, and door was about to fall off. Took to body shop, and they were welding hinge back on. Please provide further information.
Front left door hinge disconnected from the frame of vehicle, door failed to align properly when closing door, dealership has examined vehicle for this problem. *ak
Faulty factory weld on door hinge; took the truck to every body shop in town only 1 place would work on it - for $800.00. There are alot of complaints about the same problem, jeep needs to take care of this!
Weld holding top hinge on driver's side door failed; door sagged and is impossible to close; must enter car from passenger side. Before I told them, the body shop guessed the make and model when I said the repair was needed for a failed door hinge - said they'd fixed many of these. The design of the door weld is fatally flawed - connected only to the thin sheet metal instead of the frame; the long, heavy door isn't properly supported. There should be a safety recall for this and the manufacturer made to reimburse owners for the cost of this repair!.
Door hinge cracked and required welding to reattach to the body. Seat belt assembly female latch failed to lock requiring replacement.
Drivers side door hinges welds on top hinge has separated from body assembly,bottom hinge weld is half seperated from body assembly and door now unsafe to use. Must enter & exit vehicle from passenger side door. I did call the dealer that I bought it from and was told that they had no knowledge of any problems pertaining to door hinge problems. I also called crown chrysler jeep and the sirvice manager also told me that to his knowledge there was no problems with door hinges failing. This dealer is on the north west side of columbus ..
Door hinge weld defective on drivers side, door sags. Same on passengers side to lesser degree.
Driver side front door upper hinge separated. Welding only held temporarily. Had to get welded a second time and bottom hinge now looks like it's separating from body>ak
Hinges on passenger's door are broken, not able to open door at all. Driver door hinges are showing cracks.
Both front door hinges have separated from the frame at the point of welding.
Both front doors, driver and passenger, have hinges that were disconnecting from vehicle, which would cause doors to fall off. The consumer had hinges spot welded because dealership informed consumer that he would not be reimbursed for any work performed if a recall was issued. Dealership has not performed any work on vehicle. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Hinges are not working properly. Rear door is off and will not open correctly. Front door must be open for rear door to open.
Consumer opened front driver side door and hinges fell off door . Door is closed at this time. He has to climb in and out in order to get inside of vehicle. Dealership is aware of vehicle. *ak
The welds on the driver and passenger side doors are loose. This causes the doors not to close properly.
Top hinge on the drivers side door has become distorted and disconnected from frame of vehicle. Lower hinge on the door was the only component holding the door to vehicle. Dealership has informed consumer that they were unable to repair defect, and referred the work to an outside source. Private repair shop informed consumer that this was a common problem in these vehicles because of metal fatigue. Please provide any additional information/attachments/photographs.
