1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES DUE TO ROTORS BEING OUT OF ROUND. DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE. *AK

IN THE PAST YEAR THE FRONT ROTORS HAVE WARPED THREE TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISES ME THAT THE WILL CONTINUE TO TURN THE ROTORS, BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THEM. I EXPERIENCE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND SOFT BRAKING UNDER HARD BRAKING CONDITIONS AND FEEL THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT I THE FUTURE.

ROTORS ON FRONT BRAKES OVERHEATING AND WARPING..DEALER CANNOT SEEM TO SOLVE PROBLEM EVEN BY REPLACING WITH NEW ROTORS. TERRIBLE VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. ALSO TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN STOPPED AND SHIFTING. LAST ITEM IS THAT FRONT TIRES ARE CUPPING...DEALER STATED THAT IS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS FULL TIME 4 WHEEL DRIVE.

CONSUMER HAS REPLACED BRAKES TWICE; FIRST TIME 2 YEARS AGO. BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. 2 MONTHS AGO, BRAKES WERE REPLACED. VEHICLE VIBRATE WHEN THE BRAKES APPLIED. MECHANIC WAS SAYING THAT FRONT BRAKES WERE WARPED.*AK

THIS VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN AT A LIGHT/STOP.VEHICLE RESTARTS FOR NOW.ONE TIME VEHICLE STALLED WHEN MOVING AND STOPPING IN REVERSE AND ALSO WHEN SLOWING FOR A YIELD SIGN.MANUFACTURER VERY UNCONCERNED ABOUT SITUATION SAYS MAYS HAVE FIX IN NOVENBER OR DECEMBER.

FRONT BRAKES PULSATE AT 50-60MPH TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS DANGEROUS. FAILURE AT 3350, 9600, 14800, AND 22000 MILES. DEALER REPAIRED/REPLACED ROTORS THREE TIMES. *AK

DRIVING 35 MPH AT WHICH TIME SMOKE BEGAN TO EMANATE FROM REAR OF VEHICLE AND QUICKLY BEGAN TO FILL ENTIRE INTERIOR. AFTER PULLING OVER, SHUTTING OFF ENGINE AND EXITING VEHICLE, OPENED BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO SEE FLAMES WHICH APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH BACK PASSENGER SEAT (RIGHT SIDE). WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS, FLAMES HAD SPREAD THROUGHOUT ENTIRE INTERIOR AND ENGULFED ENTIRE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS AT THE SCENE BY ATTENDING POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS.

I REPEATEDLY TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, ON ALL VISITS THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, AND CAR WAS SAFE, WELL, BRAKES FAILED AND I HIT A TRUCK, AND AIRBAGS DIDN'T COME OUT. I COULD HAVE DIED IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEY FAILED.*AK

UPON BRAKING, MY CAR SHAKES ALL OVER, ESPECIALLY THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FRONT END. WAS TOLD IT WAS ROTOR, THAT WARPED. ALSO TOLD THERE WAS RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE.*AK

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH POWER WINDOW FAILURE ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. VEHICLE BEEN IN DEALER SHOP ON FIVE OCCASIONS, AND PROBLEM STILL REOCCURRING. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
