1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS I WILL BE SITTING AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN MY 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SIMPLY ACCELERATES AS IF THE THROTTLE HAS SUDDENLY OPENED. THE CAR ACTUALLY LURCHES FORWARD WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IT FROM ENTERING ONCOMING TRAFFIC ONLY BY APPLYING EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO TWO DIFFERENT GARAGES, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN IN COLD DAMP WEATHER. *AK

THE PASSENGER SIDE STABILIZER BAR INSIDE THE VEHICLE BROKE UNEXPECTEDLY, CAUSING INJURY TO THE WRIST OF THE PASSENGER. CONSUMER WILL CONTACT MANUFACTURER.*AK

REAR BRAKE LINES FAILED CAUSING GREATLY REDUCED BRAKE PERFORMANCE. REPLACED REAR BRAKE LINES. OLD PARTS AVAILABLE. *NM

WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH VEHICLE STALLED. AS A RESULT, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *AK

THE AIR CONDITIONER HOUSING LEAKS TO THE INTERIOR, UNDER THE CARPET. THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED A QUICK THAT DIDN'T WORK THE BODY SHOP SAYS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE. THE DEALERSHIP THEN SAID IF THE QUICKFIX DIDN'T WORK, THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE HOUSING, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE REMOVING THE ENTIRE DASH: OVER $600 TO COMPLETE THE JOB. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, JEEP SHOULD HAVE RECALLED IT A LONG TIME AGO AND FIXED IT.*AK

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOWER HINGE WORE OUT AND BECAME LOOSE, CAUSING THE DOOR TO SAG. THE LATCH MECHANISM WAS MISALIGNED, AND THE DOOR BECAME DETACHED FROM THE MOUNT POSITION.*AK THE VEHICLE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE DUE TO THE LATCH MECHANISM FAILING. *TC

DEALER FAILED TO CORRECT CONDITIONS OF RECALL BRAKE PROBLEMS. *BF CONSUMER PAID FOR SERVICE NOW WANTS TO BE PAID BACK DUE TO RECALL. CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 99V340000 *TC

EVAPORATOR LEAKS INTO CAR. MECHANIC SAYS ITS A BAD DESIGN AND I NEED TO BRING IT IN EVERY 6 MONTHS OR SO WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE DONE THE PAST TWO YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS CAR. DESPITE REPALCING EVAPORATOR CORE THREE TIMES, MECHANIC SAYS DESIGN OF DRAIN INTO THE VEHICLE FRAME CAUSE IT TO CONTINUOUSLY BLOCK UP. THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO PERMANENTLY FIX THIS ISSUE. THE SMELL FROM THE WATER THAT LEAKS INTO THE CAR, PASSENGER REAR SEAT FLOOR BOARD, IS HORRENDOUS. MY DAUGHTER SITS HERE, AND IS HAVING ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO IT. I USE THIS CAR FOR BUSINESS AND CANNOT SEAT MY PASSENGERS IN IT WHEN IT IS LEAKING. IT IS EXTREMELY EXPESIVE AND TIME-CONSUMING TO HAVE THE DASH TAKEN APART EVERY 6 MONTHS TO CLEAN THE EVAPORATOR CASE OR REPLACE THE CORE.*AK

RECALL 02V053000 CONCERNING INADVERTENT VEHICLE MOVEMENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE DRIVE POSITION AND THE IGNITION IS SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE MOVES BACKWARDS UNASSISTED. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND HAS BEEN TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE PLACED BACK IN PARK BEFORE TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE TO KEEP IT FROM MOVING BACKWARD. *AK *NM
