1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

ONE RESURFACE AND TWO REPLACED ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY; SEEMS TO NEED THIRD SET OF ROTORS IN LESS THAN 34,000; WARPED ROTORS EFFECTS CONTROL OF CAR WHILE BRAKING. NEED NHTSA TO OPEN FILE AND INVESTIGATE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND A RECALL IS MANDATED.*AK

WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN PARK, THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE. *AK

WHEN VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE FROM THE PARK IT JUMPED BACKWARDS, APPROXIMATELY 7 TO 8 FEET, AND WAS STOPPED WHEN CONSUMER SLAMMED ON BRAKES. DRIVER WAS EXPERIENCING BACK PAIN FROM THIS INCIDENT, AND HAS NOT BEEN EXAMINED BY A DOCTOR YET. *AK *JB

PUT CAR IN PARK WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND GOT OUT TO TAKE A PICTURE WHEN SOMEONE TOLD CONSUMER TO WATCH OUT BECAUSE VEHICLE HAD STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. CONSUMER'S ARM WAS INJURED TRYING TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE'S PATH. CONSUMER HAS YET TO CONTACT DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN OCT 2000 WITH 28000 MILES. WE HAVE APPROXIMATLY 29500 MILES ON IT NOW. WHEN DRIVING A FREEWAY SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIBRATE QUITE SEVERLY. TRAVELING DOWN HILL WILL MAKE THIS PROBLEM MORE PRONOUNCED, EG. MORE VIBRATION. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRENTY. I REPLACED THE FRONT DISCS MYSELF AND FOUND THAT THE FRONT DISCS HAD ALLREADY BEEN CUT TO THE WEAR LIMIT STATED ON THE DISCS. LESS MATERIAL LEFT ON DISCS WARPAGE A LOT SOONER. IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD TO REPALACE DISC FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IN CONCLUSION VIBRATING STEERING WHEELS TAKE YOUR ATTENTION OFF THE ROAD AND POSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT HAPPENS. I AM SURE YOU WILL FIND A MOUNTAIN OF BRAKE DSICS ATTESTING TO THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY NO ACCIDENT DAMAGED PEOPLE.*AK

THE CAR WAS LEFT RUNNING WHILE IN PARK. THE VEHICLE EVIDENTLY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE IT THEN ROLLED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND HIT A MAIL BOX POST BEFORE SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE TO GET IST STOPED. THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WAS THE LEFT FRONT DOOR HINGE WAS SPRUNG RESULTING IN THE DOOR NOT CLOSING PROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SENT SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE. THE REPLY I RECEIVED BACK WAS THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE.*AK

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS STUCK IN UPRIGHT POSITION UNTIL DEALER CHANGED REGULATOR HOSE. SINCE REPAIR OF THE HOSE WINDOW SHAKES AND LEAKES. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

ENGINE CUTS OFF INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, BACKFIRES INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER IS AWARE OF PROBLEMS. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

TRANSMISSION JUMPS GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING. DEALER IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

CAR WAS IDLING IN PARK. WAS THERE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN I HEARD A CRASH - HAD GONE INTO REVERSE AND CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POLE. DEALER SAID NO WAY COULD THAT HAVE HAPPENED, BUT I SAW YOU WERE INVESTIGATING THIS - I KNOW THAT THE DEALER WON'T INCLUDE THIS IN A REPORT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT MY FAULT! THANKS!*AK
