1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

TRANSMISSION MAKES NOISE WHEN GAS IS APPLIED AT SPEEDS OVER 55MPH. ALSO, WHEN APPLYING THE GAS AT ANY SPEED,VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SKIPS AND JUMPS. DLR HAS SEEN VEHICLE TWICE ALREADY, AND CAN FIND NO SOLUTION. *AK

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF, THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD. CONSUMER HAS DETERMINED THE CAUSE AS THE RELEASING OF TENSION WITHIN THE DRIVESHAFT. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER, DEALER STATED NORMAL OPERATION . PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

BRAKES PULSATE WHEN APPLIED AT HIGH SPEED, STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. REPEATED CALLS TO JEEP CONSUMER RELATIONS RESULTS IN THEIR DENIAL OF A PROBLEM, OTHER THAN WEAR AND TEAR, AND THAT THE WARRENTY WILL EXPIRE AND COVERAGE OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS ENDING.

WHENEVER MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS WOULD GET A CLICKING NOISE IN CV JOINT. VEHICLE WOULD CUTOFF WITHOUT WARNING. SPEED NOT A FACTOR. WHEN IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD CUT OFF. HAD BEEN TO DEALER 15 TIMES FOR PROBLEM & NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG.*AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING IT TO JUMP OUT OF GEARS AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. ALSO VEHICLE WAS ON AND IN "PARK" POSITION AND THE OCCUPANT WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT JUMPED OUT OF GEAR AND ACCELERATED. OCCUPANT HAD TO JUMP INTO THE VEHICLE AND STOP IT. DEALER WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSON SYSTEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND VIN#. *AK

EXCESSIVE GEAR WHINE/NOISE FROM DIFFERENTIALS. FRONT REBUILT TWICE, REAR REBUILT ONCE. DEALER ORDERED NEW FRONT TRANSAXIAL UNIT ASSEMBLY

AFTER HAVING THE GAS TANK REPLACED IN MID JULY OF 1999, I NOTICED AFTER DRIVING FOR OVER 100 MILES, THE GAS NEEDLE ON THE DASH WOULD NOT MOVE OFF OF FULL. WHEN I CHECKED THE OVERHEAD COMPUTER TO DETERMINE HOW MANY MILES I HAD UNTIL EMPTY, IT STILL SHOWED THE MAXIMUM. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JACKSONVILLE AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN CARE OF. LAST NIGHT, MY WIFE AND 14 MONTH OLD CHILD WERE DRIVING DOWN I-10 AND WITH A 1/4 TANK STILL SHOWING, THE CAR JUST QUIT. IT HAD APPARENTLY RAN OUT OF GAS. MY WIFE HAD TO GET SOMEONE TO TAKE HER TO A GAS STATION AND GET SOME GAS. AFTER FILLING UP, THE SAME PROBLEM APPEARED AS BEFORE. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OVER 100 MILES AGAIN WITHOUT THE GAS NEEDLE MOVING OFF OF THE FULL POSITION. THE DAY BEFORE, MY WIFE HAD ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 150 MILES BEFORE THE CAR NEEDED TO BE FILLED UP AGAIN. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT THAT IS BEING SERVICED FOR THE 3RD TIME NOW.

GAS TANK WAS REPLACED MID JULY OF 1999. AFTER THAT DATE, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMED THAT THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS BAD AND REPLACING THE PART WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS TOO BUSY TO SERVICE US IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WE WENT DOWN TO ORLANDO FL, WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND THEY SAW THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT'S DIAGNOSIS WAS THE SAME AS THE DEALERSHIP IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. OXYGEN SENSOR WAS REPORTED AS BAD AND REPLACED A SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A WEEK'S PERIOD. THE FOLLOWING DAY, ON THE WAY BACK TO JACKSONVILLE FROM ORLANDO, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED IN JACKSONVILLE. WE ARE SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICE AGAIN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. FURTHERMORE, THE CAR IS NOW RUNNING ROUGH; INDICATING THAT THE LIGHT IS NOT JUST A MALFUNCTION, PUT A POTENTIONALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM.

THE WIND DRAG IS NOT DEFLECTEED PROPERLY ,DUE TO DESIGN, WHEN THE SUNROOF IS OPEN CAUSING ROOF VIBRATIONS AND ALOT OF NOISE INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. NLM

WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH VEHICLE SEVERELY VIBRATED WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. *AK
