Gas tank is dangerous, just like recall ive seen. Cover has rusted away skid plate gone exposing gas tank.
I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee and began to notice the problem toward the end of 2012 or first of 2013. When I would reach a speed of around 55 mph, the front wheels/steering wheel would begin to vibrate, shake or whatever you want to call it. It is a violent vibration that is pretty scary and feels like you cannot control the vehicle. It subsides if you immediately slow way down. The problem has gotten progressively worse. It now would start around 45 miles an hour or so, depending on how smooth or bumpy the road is. The bumpier, the more easily in begins the wobble. When I recently researched it online, it is called the "death wobble". I have never put in "non-conforming" parts, nor have I used my vehicle off-road or abused it. I have maintained my vehicle and it has about 160,000 miles on it. I had just taken it in to see if the shaking can be repaired, and the person working on it, replaced almost every part associated with the front suspension etc. In what he thought had corrected the problem, it has only moderately reduced the symptoms. So far, about $800. 00 worth of repairs that have not corrected the problem. I don't think I want any of my tax dollars to bail out Chrysler corporation if they do not fix the problem at no cost to the consumer. I saw their forced "acknowledgement" of the problem and I also saw that they will not pick up the cost of trying to fix the defect. Very disappointed and will not purchase another Chrysler product.
Opened rear tailgate to put in groceries and the tail gate came down and struck the back of my head and caused a large bump and bleeding I did not seek medical attention.
Head liner has fallen and now it is breaking apart and particles are flying all over the inside of my Jeep and I am on oxygen and need to open my windows because the air only works some times and when I use it the car temp get very high and the engine light comes on I have had the radiator flushed twice even replaced the radiator at one point also changed the thermostat I love my Jeep but I hate to say it if I have to replace it I doubt if I will buy Jeep or Dodge again.
