COMPONENT (DIODE) ON 60 PIN PCM HAS A SHORT CAUSING INJECTOR NUMBER 6 TO STICK WIDE OPEN. RESULT IS A CYLINDER COMPRESSING FUEL WHICH CAN LEAD TO EXPLOSION, ALSO RAW FUEL ESCAPING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF SMOKE. GASOLINE PULLS THE OIL OFF OF CYLINDER WALL CAUSING EXCESSIVE FRICTION AND ENGINE DAMAGE ALONG WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTER DAMAGE. IF REAR ENDED WHEN INJECTOR IS STICKING OPEN COULD CAUSE EXPLOSION OR FIRE! I HAVE CONFIRMED THIS ON 3 OTHER 93-95 GRAND CHEROKEE OBD I MODELS AS WELL. JEEP WAS IDLING NEAR SOMEONE WELDING AND THE INJECTOR STUCK OPEN AND STARTED A FIRE. FIRE WAS EXSTINGUISHED IMMEDIATELY WITH DIRT AND WATER. NO PHYSICAL DAMAGES OCCURRED JUST A SCARE. I MOVED INJECTOR 6 PLUG TO 8, THEN 8 STUCK OPEN, UPON PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE COMPUTER CONNECTOR I REALIZED THE INJECTOR WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY AGAIN. BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS, JUST NOW FOUND THE ROOT CAUSE. WILL UPLOAD PICS LATER IF IT WILL LET ME. I CAN SET FIRE TO THE GROUND WHERE

THIS VEHICLE HAS WHAT IS CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE. IF YOU HIT A BUMP AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING BECOMES NOTHING MORE THAN A PRAYER. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THIS GET S WORSE. ALL THAT CAN BE DONE IS TO SLOW TO A COMPLETE STOP AS FAST AS YOU. HOT ROD GUYS SEEM TO BE AWARE OF IT BUT. WHAT IF THE REPAIR SHOPS HAVE NO SURE TO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 50 AND 55 WHEN THIS OCCURED.

BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES (KUMHO SOLUS KR21 P215/75/R15) ON 1-22-15 AT 234545 MILES, ONE REPLACED ON 2/10/15 AT 235216 WITH ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY. NAIL IN SIDEWALL. BY 11/21/2015, NEEDED TO HAVE REAR PASSENGER TIRE TESTED AS IT CONSTANTLY LOSS AIR. PURCHASED SAME BRAND AND SIZE AS SPARE TIRE. NO LEAK REPORTED BY SERVICE STATION, MILEAGE NOT RECORDED ON THEIR FORM. TIRE REPLACED WITH SPARE ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THAT WAS ALWAYS FLAT. AFTER SIX MONTHS OF USE, TIRE SHOWS DAMAGE TO SIDE WALL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE. IT IS VERY HARD FOR SOME OF US TO BUY 5 NEW TIRES AND I WISH I COULD REPLACEMENT OF ALL 5 BECAUSE THIS SIZE TIRE SEEMS TO UNOFFICIALLY BEEN RECALLED, BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE. NO ONE CARRIES THESE SIZE AND BRAND OF TIRES ANYMORE. IS THIS WHY? I AM UNABLE TO LOAD PHOTOS OR SCANNED RECEIPTS BUT DO HAVE THEM AVAILABLE.

WE HAVE A 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS AN EXPOSED PLASTIC GAS TANK IN THE REAR AND IT HAS NO PROTECTION IF REAR-ENDED IT IS A FIRE OR EXPLOSION WAITING TO HAPPEN! THE JEEP DEALER INSTALLED A FLIMSY TRAILER HITCH THAT EXPOSES THE TANK EVEN MORE THAN THE AFTER MARKET HITCH I REMOVED TO GET THE JEEP DEALERS FIX. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AND BELIEVE OUR LIFE IS IN DANGER EVERY TIME WE DRIVE OUR 95 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LERADO. THEY SHOULD INSTALL A STRONGER TANK ALONG WITH A VERY STRONG SKID PLATE THAT BENDS UP BEHIND THE TANK TO ADD TO PROTECTING THE TANK. ALONG WITH A MUCH STRONGER HITCH.
