The driver's door hinges came off the body of the jeep while driving down the highway. The passenger side hinges are also loose. It looks to be faulty welding on the part of the manufactorer.

My vehicle is experiencing the death wobble because of the oem steering and suspension components. I was driving down ronald reagan parkway in davenport, fl pulling a trailer and hit a minor bump pot hole in the road when my jeep started to exhibit the 'death wobble,' i was able to control it, but being on a two lane road and a truck next to me i was scared of an accident because of the wobble.

I own a 1993 jeep cherokee and the front brake caliper on the driver side locked up on july 4, 2017, while driving around town, about 15 minutes after being started, without any hard braking. The next day the caliper was replaced. Today, 9/28/2017, while driving at highway speed about 20 minutes after car being started to drive to work, a shimmy developed. When i got to work a few miles later, the caliper was locked again and was smoking. In 1998, while driving my father's 1993 jeep cherokee (not the same one i now own), the same problem occurred that the driver side front brake caliper locked onto the tire and caused a lot of smoke. I assumed it was an isolated incident at the time. I understand that things will go wrong with older vehicles in the normal course of being used and becoming worn, but this seems to be a very common point of failure on this particular model and year that started happening when the vehicles were still relatively new. Brake problems are an extremely dangerous thing to occupants of the vehicles in question, and the public at large, so i feel this merits being reported because everything else about this vehicle has been strong and reliable, and i still see so many of them out on the highways and city streets. I clicked "next" and one of the questions is, "was there a fire?" i am going to click yes because there was a copious amount of smoke but want to clarify here that there were no flames that i saw.

Found 8 wire strands protruding from sidewall of one tire on front of car while washing them

Hitting bumps at 55 mph sends vehicle into uncontrollable frenzy. Cannot control vehicle, must slam on brakes and practically come to a complete stop to regain control. I know thousands of jeeps suffer this "death wobble" please do something. *js
