1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WITH BRAKING FROM 65 TO 50 MPH, THERE IS A SEVERE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION. IT STOPS AND DOESN'T OCCUR AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 50 MPH. IT ALSO DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE ONSET WAS INSIDEOUS, WITH NO KNOWN INITIATING VEHICLE DAMAGE. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. WHEN CONTACTED, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CONCERNED, AND BELIEVED IT TO BE NOT AN URGENT OR EMERGENT PROBLEM. I KNOW OF 2 OTHER 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS NOW WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. IS THIS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD? *AK

THE GAS TANK WAS NOT FILLED TO "FULL," AND THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK WHICH MIGHT CAUSE A FIRE IF THERE WAS A SOURCE OF IGNITION. CURRENTLY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER.*AK

WHOLE VEHICLE VIBRATED AS BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ALL FOUR ROTORS WERE REFINISHED. AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER THE COSTS WERE REIMBUSRED. SIX WEEKS LATER I'M NOTICING A VIBRATION AGAIN. I BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE A WHOLE NEW BRAKE SYSTEM PUT IN.*AK

OUR JEEP WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A COMMERCIAL VAN WHILE WE WERE SITTING AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE IMPACT WENT MOSTLY THREW THE TRAILER HITCH ON THE BACK OF THE JEEP. MY SHOULDER HARNESS FAILED TO CATCH AT THE POINT OF IMPACT. THE LAB BELT DID MANAGE TO HOLD ME IN PLACE. I HAD MILD BACK PAINS SOON AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE PAIN PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE OVER TIME. I LATER FOUND THAT I DEVELOPED A HERNIATED DISC FROM THE ACCIDENT. THIS NOW IS GOING TO REQUIRE SURGERY TO CORRECT. I'M 22 WITH NO PREVIOUS BACK PROBLEMS. THE COLLISION DIDN'T SEEM TOO SEVER. THE OTHER VEHICALS SPEED IS UNKNOWN. THERE WERE 3 OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE JEEP AT THE TIME. THEIR SELT BELTS WORKED FINE. THEY ARE ALL DOING OKAY.*AK

ROTORS WARPED AT 8000 & 14000 MILES .THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE IVE OWNED THAT THE ROTORS WARPED THIS SOON.IVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I AM NOT THE ONLY GRAND CHEROKEE OWNER I PERSONALY FOUND 100'S OF COMPLANTS OF WRAPED ROTERS ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE EARLY 90'S.THE DEALER STATED THIS IS NORMAL!!!!! PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM JEEP DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE OR IT WOULD COST THEM MORE MONEY THAN CARE TO LOSE.*AK

WHEN PUTTING INTO REVERSE VEHICLE WILL JOLT BACKWARDS ,SOUNDING LIKE METAL AGAINST METAL, AND IT HAS A VERY ROUGH SHIFT.PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT ,VEHICLE FEELS AS THOUGH WHEEL WANTS TO FALL OFF. FRONT END WILL WOBBLE AND SHAKE. DEALER CLAIMS IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC.*AK

THE BRAKE PADS ARE EXTREMELY NOISY AND ONLY HALF WORN, UNABLE TO RECTIFY NOISE. *MJS

WHILE DRIVING SEVERE VIBRATION OCCURS IN THE STEERING WHEEL DUE TO PREMATURE WEARING OR WARPING OF FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. *AK BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES STARTED AT 9000 MILES. ROTORS AND FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AT 12,132 MILES. AT 16000 MILES, THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED PULSATING AGIAN. *YH

AM ON MY FOURTH SET OF FRONT ROTORS. THEY START VIBRATING AT ABOUT 4,000M AND JUST GET WORSE. DEALER HELPFUL BUT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO SUPPLY ROTORS THAT CAN DO THE JOB, NOT PIZZAS. *AK
