Five problems related to windshield have been reported for the 1997 Jeep Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
After a heavy rainfall, my wife and I proceed to make a right turn at the corn of our street and received down pouring of water the left side of my body, while my wife on the right side after making a left turn at another corner. Reported to the dealer, who checked it out, and told us that it was the door seal on the drivers side. Another day I returned with the same problem, now they say it was the sky light window seal. 05/04/00. Seal ordered but not warranted. I must pay . Part oreded and repairing in progress even as I type. Just thought you would like to no. No damage to either me nor my wife.
I feel it is necessary to report an incident with the potential for death. The rear windows in this vehicle can close with such force that it can strangle, decapitate, suffocate or collapse the airway of a child. My child almost died as a result of an inadvertant closing of the window with the child's head sticking out of the window while parked. Garage doors have a safety mechanism to prevent crushing or death, why not auto windows! I will be forwarding my concerns to the detroit free press. Please respond.
Window seal is crimped. Mjs.
On normal weather conditions, when entering the vehicle and closing the front passenger side front door, the rear quarter panel window on the driver's side exploded.
Grinding ticking sound and gas leaks. Dealer said the tank warped and the noise came from read differential bearings. Water leaks from windshield.
