BRAKES LOCKED UP ON MY WIFE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (2 POLICE OFFICERS WITNESSED THE LOCK-UP SINCE SHE WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC). THE OFFICERS CALLED A WRECKER, BUT SHE TURNED THE KEY ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND THE BRAKES RELEASED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I SEARCHED OTHER COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA'S WEBSITE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF BRAKE LOCK-UP ON THIS MODEL. I ALSO HAVE INVESTIGATED AN ASE WEBSITE THAT INDICATES SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WORRY ABOUT MY WIFE AND 10 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER'S SAFETY IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN THAT MAKES IT PRONE TO LOCK-UP THE BRAKES. I WOULD JUST ASK THAT IT BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT.

#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.
