1999 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

CONSUMER STATES THAT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT UNLOCK. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AND CALIPERS HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME. *AK TSB # 05 033 02 WAS ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE BRAKES. THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER REPLACED AT OWN EXPENSE. AT 56K MILES, THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED LIGHTLY, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED SEVERELY AND WAS HARD TO CONTROL. *SCC *JB

THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO PARK, DRIVER GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND LEFT THE DOOR OPEN. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE, AND HIT THE WALL, AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAME OFF. DRIVER JUMPED BACK INTO THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. JEEP, GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO ,1999. *AK

I OWN A 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE. UPON BRINGING IT TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME WHEN HE ORDERED THE PART THE PARTS STORE TOLD HIM THAT THEY HAD A LOT OF THEM BEING ORDERED FOR THAT VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF PERHAPS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND IF IT IS HOW TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE MONEY I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED. *NLM

I TOOK MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE A PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE GAS GAUGE FAILING TO REGISTER HOW MUCH GAS I HAD IN MY TANK. I WAS CHARGED $55.00 JUST TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I HAD A DEFECTIVE FLOTATION SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. THE PART IS GOING TO COST $124.00, NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I EXPECT THE REPAIR BILL FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE AT LEAST $200.00, NOT COUNTING THE $55.00 I'VE ALREADY PAID JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE JEEP HAS LESS THAN 52,000 MILES ON IT, SO I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING THIS SOON. I'VE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN LATE MODEL JEEP CHEROKEES, YET THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PUT ON A RECALL LIST (AT LEAST, MINE ISN'T ON A RECALL LIST). I CONTACTED THE JEEP (DAIMLER/CHRYSLER) HEADQUARTERS TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, AND THEY DECLINED. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT I FEEL I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP CHEROKEES. PLUS, THIS VEHICLE HAS TOO LOW OF A MILEAGE TO BE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM.

PLASTIC CLIP ON WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. WINDOW FELL INTO DOOR & STARTLED DRIVER AT HIGHWAY SPEED ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT. NEW UNIT FROM DEALER HAS BEEN REDESIGNED W/ METAL COMPONENT BUT NO RECALL ON OBVIOUS PROBLEM/SAFETY DEFECT. *NLM

THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WORN, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *JB *TS

CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE EVAPORATOR FAILURES DUE TO INFERIOR COILS THAT LAST LESS THAN 4 YEARS. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO COVER THIS COST TO THE CONSUMER. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP CHEROKEE. *JB

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF OUT GEAR. *JB THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF OUT GEAR.*MR

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, THE DEALER RESURFACED THE ROTORS, HOWEVER 1 YEAR LATER THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *JB
