Door Hinge Problems of Jeep Cherokee

As my husband and I were on our way to a relatives last weekend, the passenger side window lowered on it's own. I tried to roll it up with the drivers control, and my husband tried with the passenger control ( which has never worked well) but the window just continued to go down. I had my son look at it and he took everything off including door panel, and speakers, but he was not familiar with Jeep windows and could not determine how to fix it. In the meantime, I have checked out some websites on this problem and found out that this is an ongoing problem with Jeeps. Now it is going to cost me between $250. 00 and $600. 00 to repair . Please do something about this so no one else will have such an unexpected expense.

Driver's side door hinge is wearing out, and it is hard to shut door. Door can open while driving at any speed. Dealer notified.

The front left corner of the drivers seat has broken loose from the adjustment slide. This causes the seat to tilt back when accelerating. The metal is torn from around the bolt. The bolt is still intact. The upper left door hinge is also coming loose from the body. The weld that secures the hinge to the body is failing. I contacted the local dealer (not the one who I bought the car from) and the service manager told me that he had not seen these problems before. Since it is out of warranty he suggested I take it to a body shop. The fellow at the body shop informed me he has seen quite a few door hinge failures. He even had a Cherokee in the shop with the same problem. He also said the seat failure is not uncommon. I feel these are safety issues and the manufacturer should at least reimburse part of the cost of repair, if not fix it at no charge. The seat in particular is dangerous because if the other side breaks, I'll be laying down trying to drive!.

Hinges on driver's door are rusted, top hinge is broken.

Top hinge on driver's door broke, door was hanging by bottom hinge.

Driver's side door top hinge separated from vehicle. Spot weld came apart, and only thing that held door were the screws. But bottom hinge kept door up. Defect may have caused entire door to separate from vehicle without prior warning.

The top hinge weld broke away from door frame!.

The tack weld that holds the hinge side of the door to frame of the Jeep, over time became looser and looser. I realized the door didn't seem to fit as tightly, but I didn't appreciate how much it corroded until it collapsed, totally separating that section from the body of the car. The covered hinge is still holding the door in place, but without the uncovered hinge bracing the door, the door closes, but during driving-gusts of wind can separate the top of the door framing the window from the car.

Driver's door hinges which were welded to frame broke off, causing door to fall off. Please provide further information.

Door hinge has repeatedly broken away from frame at tack weld making use of driver's door impossible.

Driver's door was coming off from broken weld. Dealer was not contacted at this time.

In November of 1998, the door hinges were repaired under warranty, now the pin within the door has failed, causing the driver's door to completely separate from the hinge.

Hydraulic clutch failed on rear door hatch.

Door seals failed.

While closing door noticed that door was unattached from frame or body of vehicle, causing door to hang off, unable to close. Hinge became loose without any knowledge and soon became completely unattached from the frame, consumer had to manually lift door into latch and lock it to close the door, Chrysler claimed no responsibility, consumer heard from other repair shops that this was a frequent problem.

The vehicles door hinges separated from the welds.

The drivers side door is falling off, the pin pushes up and the hatch handle is broken. Nlm.
