Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car hydroplaned into an embankment when attempting to stop. Luckily the rear window on the liftgate of the jeep popped off on impact to the embankment. First defect: back of drivers seat broke causing driver to be ejected from the vehicle through the rear window of the liftgate. Second defect: airbag did not deploy even though there was damage to the front of the vehicle. Can't give true estimate for the amount of damage since all medical bills have not been provided by health providers. $ 5,412 worth of personal property (jewelry and other) lost during impact to the embankment.
I purchased this used vehicle in march 1999 . I have been back to the dealer about this problem 3-5 times . I've even come out of my pocket for the expensive of a new seat because the dealer told me the seat was considered cosmetic and not warranty covered. As it stands right now ,the dealership is supposedly waiting on instructions from chrysler about the specs for my seat. This has been going on for over 5 months .the seat is leaning dangerously to the right and it feels as if it is cracked
Front driver seat frame replaced.
Jeep is the only 4 wheel drive vehicle designed without rear headrests.
