I have the same complaints as others with the doors and seatbelt, why doesn't the manufaturer fix these problems? Said that abuse was why door hinge loose.
1994 Jeep Cherokee body complaints
Page 4 of 8: complaints 71 to 100 of 205, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Door hinges pulled away from the door frame. Door came unwelded from the rest of the body. This caused the door not to close properly and to fell off.
Driver's side door hinge weld broke free from body - weld was deteriorating over time and door gradually sagged - fixed once before - this time broke away completely.
Consumer states doors are falling off auto and dealers are not willing to help her. She has to climb over the console to get steering wheel.
When opening the doors on vehicle the hinges would separate from frame structure. Hinges are bolted to door, and then are welded to sheet metal. The metal is becoming worse. Doors need to be lifted up before they can be latched properly.
Door fell until bottom hinge bent and door had to be lifted into place and secured with latch.
The doors are falling off my 1994 jeep cherokee. All the glue seams at the door hinges are cracked open or they are completely separated. The driver side door fell off the car in the parking lot of a local store. What if the door had to be opened while the car was moving, this would have been a disaster? Every door of the vehicle is separating from the frame. There are three other families having the same problem of their jeep's doors falling off.
Welds broke on drivers door hinges-door fell off-local dealer would do nothing. This is a four wheel drive vehicle that should be strong-this one is always garaged, and never abused. It my wifes baby and the door just fell off for no reason. It has never been in any accidents or had any type of collision damage.
My drivers door on my 1994 jeep cherokee sport has fallen off. There is no rust or rotting. The bracket mounted to the body which was used to weld the hinges, completely fell off. The bracket on the passenger front door is doing the same thing. I also know of another vehicle around the same year that had the same problem and has already been repaired. If need be, I'll try to obtain the owner's information. This is totally ridiculous. Doors on a vehicle just don't fall off without damage, rust etc.
I beleive this is a seriuse problem with this jeep as it will catch on fire. The floor bords are out of it and it seem no one wants to do anything about it and the vechiual is only 5 years old.
Chrysler should pay for the repairs since these frequent problems are all due to poor design.
The exhaust system runs underneath floorboard on passenger's side. When vehicle was in motion, the floorboard overheated & rusted. Was informed by private mechanic about rust problem. Took vehicle to dealership & mechanic refused to look at exhaust system & floor board.
