Filed Feb 8, 2001 · Body · CA

The driver's side door hinges are corroding and the door is separating from the body. The body shop at my dealer says the problem is known with this year and model and a tsb has been issued by jeep. He says the situation is dangerous since the door is liable to separate from the body at some point. Despite the potential danger jeep has not acted on my claim for over six weeks and not replied to the dealer concerning shared liability to repair the defect. This apparently occurs only on the drivers door hinges of 94" jeep cherokees and always starts with the uppr hinge and of course results in eventual failure of the bottom hinge and then the entire driver's side door. It appears to be a faulty weld during manufacture. I am concerned the door will come off and am anxcious to get a repair in progress but, my dealer awaits word from chysler daimler before committing to action. I have emailed chrysler-daimler. They report my dealer is discussing the issue with me. A circular solution that allows the situation to go on. Do you have a record of this defect and potential injury estimates? Why don't they process a potential danger claim more expeditiously. Thank you.

Driver and passenger side door hinge weld has failed and the door is pulling loose from the body of the vehicle. This causes the doors to not close properly, and eventually the doors will fall completely off. This is the second jeep I have had to do this. The owner of the body shop where I will have the repair work done says that this is a common problem with jeep door hinges, his shop replaces them on a routine basis. This is a safety flaw in all jeep cherokees. The catalytic converter failed after about three years, I finally replaced it because I couldn't stand the rattling noise it made.

I proceeded to open the drivers-side door one day, and the door just about fell off of the vehicle. I notified a local jeep dealer concerning this problem. In short, the staff said that this was the the 1st time they ever heard of a jeep cherokee door falling off. I've spoken to several people who also had jeep cherokees' and they also stated they had the same problem. The only "easy-fix" for me was to buy a different vehicle. I believe this is definitely a safety hazard on the 1994 jeep cherokee.
