1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

ALSO HAD FUEL PUMP FAILURE IN CONJUNCTION WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE W/IN THE FIRST YEAR TO YEAR AND A HALF OF OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER CONTACTED CHRYSLER, BUT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR LEMON LAW COVERAGE. THEY DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS LEASED VEHICLE. (DEALERSHIP) I HAVE NEVER FELT SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE, AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WE PAID $32500 FOR SOMETHING THAT IS ONLY WORTH LESS THAN $10000 TODAY. CHRYSLER SHOULD BUY THESE VEHICLES BACK FROM PEOPLE, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO ASSIST.

AROUND 50 WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, CAR VIBRATES. DEALER FIXED PROBLEM AROUND 22000 MILES BUT PROBLEM RETURNED.*AK

THE CAR WAS IDLING IN PARK;WENT INTO REVERSE AND STRUCK A UTILITY POLE AT A MARATHON STATION. *AK

WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE AND SHIMMY. HARD TO CONTROL. TOOK VEHCLE TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK. INFORMED THAT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND WORN EXCESSIVELY. THEY WERE REPLACED. HOWEVER, AT20,000 MILES ROTORS/PADS WORE OUT AND HAD TO REPLACED. *AK

JEEP WENT INTO REVERSE GEAR WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKE THEN SHIFTING. 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH THE CAR RUNNING. SHE REACHED OVER TO THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION TO CHECK ON A HOUSE KEY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED ROLLONG BACKWARDS. THE JEEP ROLLED BACKWARDS WITH THE PASSENGER DOOR OPEN, HITTING A MINIVAN AND A RAM VAN. OPEN DOOR IS WHAT STOPPED THE JEEP FROM ROLLING FURTHER, BUT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF INCIDENT. DMX INVESTIGATOR WAS CALLED. DMX INVESTIGASTOR FOUND NO DEFECT. *AK

PER DEALER DIAGNOSIS, THERE ARE EXCESS FRONT ROTORS RUN OUT AND THICKNESS VARIANCE, WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO EXCESS VIBRATION WHEN BREAKING AND MIGHT CAUSE FAILURE TO STOP AT LOW SPEED. DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR CONPLAINTS ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND THE QUALITY OF ROTOR IS VERY BAD. *AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED MAJOR PULSATION WHEN BRAKING, THE BRAKE AND DISC ROTORS WERE WARPED, DEALER REPLACED THOSE AND A A PAD KIT, SHOE KIT PARKING BRAKE, SHOE KIT REAR DISC BRAKE, SEAL AXLE DRIVE SHAFT, AND BRAKE SHOE AND LINING ASSEMBLY, ABOUT 6000 MILE LATER, PROBLEM RETURNED, BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SHOE KIT FRONT DISC BRAKE. GEAR KIT CENTER DIFFERENTIAL, GEAR KIT RING AND PINION, BEARING -DRIVE PINION, SHIMDRIVE PINION, SEAL DRIVE PINION, AND SHIM DIFFERENTIAL PINION WERE REPLACED. ABOUT 12000 MILES LATER, VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING BRAKE PULSATION AGAIN, DEALERSHIP IS STATING THE VEHICLE HAS ROTOR RUNNOUT FRONT AND REAR, THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH SET OF BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE, CONSUMER STATES THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT CONTINUES TO OCCUR. *SLC

THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKES FOR THE 1999 JEEP. A VERY LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE JEEP PROBLEMS ON YOUR WEB SITE RELATE TO THIS SPECIIFC PROBLEM. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ARE IGNORING MY COMPLAINTS. EVERY 10,000 MILES OR SO THE JEEP WILL WOBBLE SEVERELY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED BECAUSE OF PREMATURE WARPING OF BRAKES/ROTORS/DRUMS AND DISCS. THE DESCRIPTIONS OF OTHERS ON YOUR WEB SITE ARE IDENTICAL TO THIS. *AK

WE HAVE HAD THE ROTORS "SHAVED" AT 12,000 MILES, SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED AT 22,000 MILES AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN AT 31000 MILES CAR VIBRATES VIOLENTLY, DRIVER SEAT BELT KEEPS JAMMING, THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED

KEY COULD NOT BE TAKEN OUT OF IGNITION BECAUSE OF SHIFTER NOT LOCKING IN THE PARK POSITION. SHIFTER WOULD MOVE FORM PARK TO REVERSE AND DRIVE WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER. USUALLY, THIS HAS TO BE HELD IN TO SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEARS. BUT NOW IT WILL SHIFT GEARS IF IT IS EVEN BUMPED.
