The contact owns a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact's vehicle was included in customer satisfaction recall number: N47 regarding a defect with the structure. A potential failure or fire could occur if the rear of the vehicle were impacted. The manufacturer recall required that a hitch be added to the rear of the vehicle to prevent the possible failure. The manufacturer was notified twice of the failure. The first time the manufacturer was notified, the representative informed the contact that the vehicle was eligible for the recall. When the contact took the vehicle to be serviced at haasz automall of ravenna (4886 oh-59, ravenna, oh 44266, (330) 296-2866), the dealer refused. The contact was informed that the vehicle did not qualify for the repair. When the contact called the dealer back the second time, the representative informed him again that the vehicle did not qualify. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

  • 142,000 miles
I was driving in the rain going the speed limit. My Jeep hit a pool of water on the surface of the highway and started to skid and hydroploane. The next thing I knew it was flipping over and landed on the shoulder of the highway. I was lucky to be wearing my seat belt. I was suspended upside down by my seatbelt. I was able to unbuckle it and crawl out the drivers side window which was completely blown out. Seconds after I got out of the car it burst into flames and the entire vehicle was engulfed and burned completely inside and out. There was nothing left of it but burnt frame. As soon as the car came to a stop upside down, I smelled gas and just a minute or two later the car was totally burned up.
