1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD SLIGHTLY WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP-LIGHT OR WHEN VEHICLE IS IN GEAR BUT NOT IN MOTION WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.

ONLY TETHER ANCHOR KIT AVAILABLE INSTALLS INTO THE ROOF - NOT THE FLOOR BEHIND THE SEAT AS REQUIRED. ALSO - THERE IS NO CENTER SEAT TETHER ANCHOR AVAILABLE, IN THE ROOF OR THE FLOOR.

AFTER PARKING VEHICLE ON AN INCLINE, SHIFTED INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN THE INCLINE, CONSUMER TRIED TO JUMP IN AND STOP VEHICLE, AND WAS CRUSHED BY THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

SINCE BUYING THE VEH, LOUD DIFFERENTIAL WHINE AT 45+ MPH; FRONT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (WARPED) AT 7500 MILES; REAR FLIPPER GLASS LEAKS; LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM CURB (TRANSFER CASE FLUID REPLACED AFTER LURCHING WHEN MAKING TIGHT

TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN PUTTING VCL IN REVERSE. DOES NOT DO THIS WHEN PUTTING VCL IN DRIVE OR ANY OTHER GEAR, JUST REVERSE. IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE, AND EVEN THE ORIGINAL TECH WHO WE SHOWED PROBLEM TO AT DEALERSHIP ADMITTED IT SOUNDED BAD/WRONG. BUT AFTER WE LEFT VCL THERE FOR REPAIR, WE WERE TOLD NONE WERE NEEDED...THIS IS "JUST HOW THESE VEHICLES ARE". I DON'T THINK SO! HAVE OWNED 4/4 SUV'S BEFORE, INCLUDING A PRIOR GRAND CHEROKEE...AND NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS SLAMMING COULD CAUSE PARTS TO LOOSEN OR BREAK, AND IF THAT HAPPENS WHILE VCL MOVING, COULD BE DISASTROUS! COULD THIS ALSO CAUSE PROBLEM OF PARTS BEING JUST SOMEWHAT OUT OF ALIGNMENT, WHICH COULD CAUSE A STRANGE WEARING OF PARTS THAT WOULD NOT NORMALLY OCCUR? *AK

WHILE MAKING A SHARP TURN VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE / VIBRATE, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. ALSO, DRIVESHAFT YOKE ASSEMBLY FAILED. SEEKING HELP FROM NHTSA IN THIS MATTERS, THE POWER TRAIN DIFFERENTIAL UNIT MAKES WHINE NOISE BETWEEN 54-65 MPH. *YC
