I was reading code 30126, used motor vehicles. It is not specific about which safety hazards are enforced by the law. I want to know what gives a dealer a right to sell a used vehicle which has a bent and cracked frame and a clean title. No "as is " sale should be a justification for lack of safety regarding human life. He will not refund my money. Is this legal? What are my rights? Please advise. Thank you.

Front driver's side door hinge failed. Door is falling off and will cost $1,600 to repair. I contacted daimler/chrysler and asked if they were aware of any such problems with door hinges. They said they researched it and informed there have never been any similar complaints. Did some research and found there have been over 2,500 customer complaints and 30,000 warranty claims for 93-95 jeeps, approximately 10% of all jeeps made in those years, for this exact same problem. Called back and spoke with senior staff agent luke alward. Asked him to find out if there were ever any customer complaints or warranty claims. He replied there had never been any problems, and what did I expect with an 8 year old car with 53,000 miles on it. When confronted with the data that daimler had provided to the federal safety agency regarding 30,000 warranty claims, he said he did not have that information. I told him I would fax info to him, but he said decision not to financially reimburse had been made, and there was no appeal process. I believe daimler has not engaged in fair dealings with me. I believe the federal safety agency should issue a recall on this part, since over 30,000 people have had this same problem, and daimler clearly put out a defective product.

A few weeks ago the drivers side door on my 1995 jeep cherokee started to be difficult to close. It quickly got worse and then I noticed that the top door hinge had separated from the frame. It looked like the manufacturer's weld had failed. Soon the entire upper hinge came off and the door was hanging on by the lower hinge only. I called the daimler chrysler customer service and was provided a copy of their tech service bulletin 23-030-01, which provided dealers with instructions on how to fix this defect. I took it to the local dealer and 2 separate local body shops. All the technicians that I talked to expressed disbelief that chrysler-jeep had not issued a recall. They had repaired many similar defects previously. I believe it is a safety concern because the door is impossible to secure when the defect starts and could possibly fall off the vehicle whicle on the highway. Chrysler customer service said they would not reimburse me for the cost of repair, which was $280.00. I think chrysler-jeep should be forced to recall and pay for repairs to this defect. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Welds on driver side door have fallen, resulting in door hinges separating from vehicle. Contacted dealer.
Driver side door fell off, the hinge welded on just broke off. When I took it to different body shops for prices they all said they have welded doors on jeeps, alot of jeeps. And now my engine motor mount bolts sheared off causing engine to shift fan blade to cut into the radiator. This seems like a lousy manufacturer's flaw, when it is happening to alot of jeeps, waiting for somebody to get in a serious accident or death before there is a recall.
Hinges came unwelded which caused driver's side door to come off the hinges. Pin snapped in half.
Door hinge on drivers side upper and lower have cracked welds.
Top passenger door hinge has pulled away from vehicle, the door does not properly shut, contacted dealer and they were not willing to do anything. *ak consumer stated the door strap went out on the passenger door, which put too much strain on the upper hinge, causing it to separate from the body of the vehicle, consumer believes this to be a design flaw and is now happening on the drivers side, consumer has since had the problem repaired, however consumer had to be 50% and the manufacturer paid the other half.
Rust due to A/C water leaks and lack of a heat shield over the converter will cause rust in the passenger floor pan and the frame member, causing a comprise in safety.
Corrosion to floor pans on more than one 1995 jeep cherokee due to water leaks. The floor pans in these jeeps are completly rusted away on both sides of the frame rail. The fact is that there are hundereds of cherokees out there with this rust and in the event of a crash the structure of the unitiezed body will not be as ridged because the floor is basically separated from the frame. Obviosuly some corrosion might be expected over a 5 year period but due to excessive moisture leaks and the heat/cool cycle of the catalytic converter and exhaust under the passenger side floor pan the corossion on the passenger side in even worse. Please contact me for photos of vehicles.
