1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

BRAKE ROTERS RESURFACED TWICE, ROTERS REPLACED ONCE, NOW ROTORS TO BE REPLACED WITH PART FROM ANOTHER CAR/TRUCK-"HEAVY DUTY TYPE"

EACH MALFUNCTION HAS SEVERELY EFFECTED THE USE & SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE PROBLEMS

WHEN AT A STOP THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD. WHEN PLACING CAR INTO GEAR THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT FEEL LIKE IT ENGAGED. AFTER NOT ENGAGING THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION STILL DID NOT FEEL LIKE IT ENGAGED. NOT BEING SURE I STARTED TO APPLY THE GAS WITH NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. SUDDENLY WHEN THE RPM'S REACHED ABOUT 1500-2000 RPM'S THE VEHICLE ENGAGED INTO DRIVE CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO HIT THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF IT. ONLY MINOR DAMAGE WAS DONE SINCE THE VEHICLE TO THE FRONT WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP JUST SOON ENOUGH TO ONLY TAP THE FORWARD VEHICLE. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW THERE HAVE BEEN LOUD BANGING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR WHILE STOPPING,AFTER STOPPING AND RELEASING THE BRAKE OR WITHOUT THE AIR CONDITIONING, WHILE STOPPED AND THE RPM'S FALL BELOW 500 RPM'S. THE BANG SOUNDS AS IF THERE IS TENSION BEING RELEASED SOMEWHERE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO "LURCH FORWARD". SHIFTING THE GEAR SELECTOR (FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND PARK TO REVERSE ETC) IS ALSO CREATING A LOUD BANG AND VERY ROUGH SHIFT,WHILE CAUSING THE CAR TO AGAIN SEEM LIKE IT WANTS TO "TAKE OFF". TO DATE THE DEALER EITHER SAYS HE CAN NOT DUPLICATE OR WHAT HE DOES HEAR IS NORMAL.

WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THERE IS A LONG SQUEALING NOISE. WHEN WE TOLD DEALER HE SAID THAT IS THE WAY THE JEEP'S WITH A V8 SOUND. THE SQUEALING IS GETTING LONGER IN DURATION WHEN SHIFTING.

LIGHT OUT IN TRANSFER CASE SO AT NIGHT YOU CANNOT SEE WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. WE WERE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THERE WAS NO LIGHT AND IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW BY JEEP. HOWEVER THE LIGHT COMES ONE INTERMITTENTLY.

HIGH SPEED VIBRATION, REPEATED BALANCING DOES NOT ELIMINATE( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225/75R16 )

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, WHEN IT SUDDENLY SLOWED TO A CRAWL, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON UNTIL AFTER I STOPPED. I CAN NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE, AN IT IT TOO TIME CONSUMING TO KEEP TAKING IT IN FOR REPAIRS. I NEED RELIEABLE TRASPORTATION. ALSO BECAUSE IT IS A NEW VEHICLE, NO ONE EVER HAS ANY PARTS AND I HAVE TO WAIT WEEKS TO LET THE DEALER GET THEM IN TO FIX THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLES JUMPS WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS BEING REAR ENDED (AT A LOW SPEED FROM THE REAR). WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO PAYTON WELLS FOUR OR FIVE TIMES THE THEIR HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTRACT US IF YOU REQUIRE FURTHER INFORMATION.

WHEN DRIVING LESS THAN 10MPH STEERING INTERMITTENTLY LOCKS UP EITHER TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. DEALER COULDNT DUPLICATE ON 4 PREVIOUS VISITS. RESENTLY HAD 2 NEAR MISSES IN INTERSECTION DUE TO STEERING LOCKUP. STEERING WILL BECOME RELEASED WHEN I APPLY MAXIMUM STRENGTH. I AM REALLY SCARED FOR MY FAMILY.
