I've been noticing some noise coming from my front passenger door when
I opened or closed it... I originally thought that I just needed to
lubricate the hinge... Closer inspection has shown me that the problem
appears to instead be due to the welds on the portion of the hinge
that attaches to the vehicle frame being broken... Anyone had this
problem before? How difficult is it to repair?

 

Hmmm... Further research seems to indicate that there was a recall
associated with this issue...

Maybe I won't need to re-weld it myself...

After contacting the dealership and Chrysler, it appears that the
recall number mentioned in the Service Bulletin does not concern the
door hinge, but is just telling the dealerships that they were given a
power riveter for another recall (#785) and if they want another one,
they will need to buy it themselves...

So, it looks like I'm back to thinking about re-welding it...

What year is it? There was a recall on some.

You need a new door post to fix it, which is a fair job....
