1999 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WITHIN 15,000 MILES FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAVE PREMATURELY WORN WHICH CAUSED VEHICLE TO VIBRATE WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

CONSUMER HAD 2 ACCIDENTS IN VEHICLE DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. BOTH TIMES, PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND THERE WAS NO BRAKE ACTION. FIRST ACCIDENT SPEED WAS 15-20 MPH, SECOND 30 MPH. UNDER WARRANTY, BUT SINCE DEALER COULD FIND NO PROBLEM CHRYSLER REFUSED TO HONOR WARRANTY. $ AMOUNT ON VEHICLE WAS A COMBINED $ 15000.00. *AK

JEEP LEMON!!! TERRIBLE VEHICLE, TERRIBLE COMPANY!! THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY FOR THESE TWO ISSUES, AMONG OTHERS! I HAVE ALMOST REARENDED SOMEONE, BY LOOKINGBACK TO SEE IF I WAS REAR ENDED DUE TO THE HARD SHIFT. THE BRAKES SHAKE SO MUCH UNDER BRAKING THAT I DID REAR END SOMEONE, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO NOTICABLE DAMAGE TO EITHER VEHICLE.

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40MPH ON HIGHWAY WHILE ENTERING A RAMP THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING/LOUD NOISE. THIS WAS CAUSED BY GEARS COMING APART. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM, AND CONSUMER HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED.*AK

VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR ROUGH IDLE, PULLS TO THE RIGHT, REPLACED PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW MOTOR, REPLACED DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MOTOR, FRONT ROTORS REPLACED AT 9300 MILES, TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKS, VEHICLE RIDES LIKE A CHEVETTE OVER BUMPS AND MAKES CREAKING NOISES IN FRONT END, SOUNDS LIKE TIRES WILL FALL OFF WHEN ON ROUGH ROAD, DEALER SAYS EVERYTHING IS FINE, BUT IT IS NOT. HAS THE WORST RIDE THAN ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER HAD. VEHICLE MAKES HORRIBLE KLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE. SOUNDS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL ON GROUND. VEHICLE JUMPS INTO GEARS. ON 7/30/99, I HAD STARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS STANDING BEHIND VEHICLE WHEN IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK TO REVERSE AND PROCEEDED TO THROW ME UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THEN ROLLED OVER MY LEGS.

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS WEARING OUT FREQUENTLY CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN TO VIBRATE . *YH

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FIRE, STARTER FAILURE IS SUSPECTED TO BE THE CAUSE, CLAIM 53-C679-292. *SLC

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED CONSUMER NOTICED POWER STEERING HOSE HAD RUBBED THROUGH. EVERY TIME WHEEL WAS TURNED IT RUBBED ON POWER STEERING HOSE, NEXT TO EXHAUST MANIFOLD. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE TRANSFER CASE. *AK THE POWER STEERING LINE IS ADJACENT TO UNIVERSAL JOINT ON STEERING SHAFT, OVER TIME WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED, IT WILL EVENTUALLY WEAR THROUGH, THIS LINE IS ALSO NEAR EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE WHEN STEERING FLUID SPRAYS ONTO A HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD, THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN REDESIGNED TO KEEP THE LINE AWAY FROM THE STEERING SHAFT, CONSUMER FEELS THE DEALER SHOULD BE LIABLE TO REPLACE THE PART SINCE IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. *SLC

POWER WINDOWS STOP WORKING, THIS TIME EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR NOT WORKING (WINDOWS, LOCKS, REAR VIEW MIRROR ADJUSTMENT); THIS IS THE THIRD TIME, HAS GONE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE. *AK

HAD 2 SIDE WALL BLOWOUTS WITH A 3RD TIRE BULGING AT THE SIDE. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE FIRST TIRE BECAUSE NOTHING WAS SUSPECTED TO BE WRONG, THEN THE TIRES KEPT BLOWING OUT AND THE 3RD TIRE WAS CAUGHT BEFORE THE BLOW OUT OCCURRED. GOOD YEAR WAS CONTACTED AND THEY REPLACED 3 TIRES BUT REFUSED TO REIMBURSE FOR THE FIRST TIRE THAT WE PAID FOR. I FEEL SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THESE TIRES BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS UP GETTING KILLED. *AK (TIRESIZE: 225/75 R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/75 R15 )
