#1- concerning rusted rotors. (recall 98v005000/front brake rotors). We purchased this vehicle used 9-16-97. Shortly thereafter we discovered that the vehicle had corosion/rusted rotors. We were informed by the service department, that the rusted rotors were not covered by the extended warranty we purchased. That was 4/98. September of 2000 I discovered the recall while doing some research. This time I contacted bobette thomas at jim marsh service about the rusted rotars. She took the information and called me back later that day. I was informed that the recall did not affect my vehicle. We purchased it used and do not know where it originated. We believe the rusted rotars are a product of improper manufacturing processes. I am requesting that jeep repair or replace the defective parts and honor the recall. #2 since purchasing this used vehicle we have had repeated fuel injector problems. We have taken it to be serviced for fuel odors on 8 different occassions in the past 3 years. On three of those occassions we were told nothing was wrong. Yet the smell continued. There is obviously a problem with this vehicle's fuel injector system. Again my vehicle is experiencing intermitant fuel odors. It is no longer under warranty and we a failure rate as extensive as ours has been is not acceptable. I believe had the original problem that is causing this repeated failure, been diagnosed when initially taken to the dealership our warranty would have resolved the issue. I would like this problem addressed in it's entirety. #3 rear hatchback doorlocks and latch. 1-12-98 I reported a lock problem and the closure problems I had been having. Although I was given a new keyless entry remote. The rear hatch has never closed or locked 100% of the time. I recently discovered this part is also under recall. I would like jeep to repair or replace the parts in question. #4 front axle vibration listed on due bill. Never corrected.
