Jeep Cherokee 2002-2007 (also posted in Club House)

The comments on Jeep UK are now disabled for me!!!! Oh well off to tweet...At least it is a pain for them to remove all comments, looks like they have started already, my thoughts are leave it for a week or so and if Clannad48 doesn't recieve a satisfactory reply we start a new bombardment!!

Mine is diesel, feel free to and copy and to post as You wish! Funny as before this my husbands company considered jeep as a company cars (company based on a farm in middle of no where) think they are are sticking with vw's now!
 
My view is if insurance companies are still willing to insure and it passes the MOT why not carry on using it. Mainly use mine for towing and it would take one hell of a rear shunt to damage the fuel tank with a trailer on the back in which case horse and I would probably be damaged anyway. Thankyou Clannad48 et al for pursuing this I am watching with interest. I've not contacted any garage as who is to say I've received a recall notice.
 
Yes I'm up for a facebook group, good idea! I've been putting some comments on the Jeep UK page, haven't checked yet to see if they've been removed, but I figured that they will still be getting some bad publicity if your comments come up in friends notifications. At least that's what I'm hoping!

Just spoken with British towbar manufactures they have said they can not do any thing unless jeep give the measurements and go ahead! However it would only take 8 weeks to design and test!
 
My question on the Jeep UK Facebook is still there. It does say that there have been 2 comments, but only one is showing, but it does not look like my question has been answered :-(
 
I am up for the facebook group.

However I also think that we should start the name game again tonight on the W for Wrangler picture tonight when their staff are gone home!

Jeep can't stop anyone registering a new FB account to post, over and over and over.
 
I have indeed been blocked!! So much for free speech and it's not as if I'm spreading lies right?? Never mind, new FB account coming up! I think we should pop it on over xmas when Jeep staff will be away from their posts and we can have more fun xmas word games!!

I was thinking about setting up a FB group myself i am happy to do this, any ideas on names?

Something along the lines of Jeep N46 recall supporters group....don't take our towbars!!

I spoke to some horsey friends I have over in the US and Canada to see if they knew anyone who had a recalled Jeep over their.
One of the guys spoke to a local Jeep dealer to find out how it has been tackled there. dealernis Joe Machens in Columbia, Missouri......

"It's a class three hitch with maybe 5500 pounds tow weight and 550 tongue weight and they put a standard hitch on it but the vehicle is not designed to tow that much weight. If it already has a hitch in place they don't recall. If it has a hitch in place then the gas tank is already protected by the hitch.
Whenever the recall is done they have to sign a letter saying the hitch is not for towing just for safety"
 
I've just posted on their FB page asking why they are not following the same logic as the US regarding the Jeeps that already have towbars.
I've also requested that their head technical guy posts the answer or explanation tomorrow as we wil all be watching and waiting.
 
Re' the Facebook pages of Jeep. "W" is for Well that makes me feel a bit better. There's the wrangler, a tent, the new cherokee, the renegade, an outing of wranglers in the desert somewhere. Felt they could all do with a towbar comment.
 
Been looking to see if there are any Cherokees out there for sale with recall approved towbars, Sadly every dealer I've spoken to knows absolutely nothing about the recall. One even tried to tell me that if the car passed the MOT then it was fine!!!!!!!
 
I have complained by letter to Jeep UK, I purchased a Jeep Cherokee 2004 in July this year, I paid another £350 to have a towbar fitted. I received a recall letter in October, my vehicle failed the inspection...I refused to sign any disclaimer. I have just received a response from Jeep UK to say that I need to have My towbar removed and the safety beam modification added, I purposely bought the car to tow my trailer. I think we are not shouting loud enough...my next move is Watchdog and my solicitors....all legal costs to be recovered from Jeep UK...I may well have just set fire to £350 �� let battle commence ������

OH contacted Watchdog weeks ago but never got a reply. I think we need the weight of numbers here to make them take notice!
