1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE STEERING IN THIS 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE JEEP HAS MAJOR FLAW ASSOCIATED WITH MAKING TIGHT TURNS. WHENEVER WE TRY TO MAKE A TIGHT RIGHT OR LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY WITH A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.*AK

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, THE WINDOW DOES NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. *AK

99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN IN SHOP 5 TIMES (CURRENT MILEAGE:7500). I HAVE HAD CLATTERING/NOISES WITH SHARP TURNS (TRANSFER CASE FLUID, THEN CASE ITSELF, THEN PUMP REPLACED); GEAR WHINING NOISE CHRYSLER IS BLAMING ON THE DANA CORP. MY DEALER "UNABLE TO FIX PROBLEM AS NECESSARY TOOLS ARE ON BACK-ORDER"; VIBRATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES ATTRIBUTED TO A WARPED ROTOR (PER TSB); PROBLEMS WITH KEYLESS REMOTE ENTRY AND SLOW REFUELING, SOMETHING LEAKING FROM FRONT END. MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AS EVIDENCED BY THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS (YAHOO.COM; JEEPSUNLIMITED.COM) CHRYSLER SEEMS TO BE STONEWALLING ON MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY THE DANA CORP. REAR-END PROBLEM. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED AFTER HAVING SPENT $38,000 ON THIS VEHICLE!

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED (AUTO) PROPERLY. AT APPROX. 15 - 20 MPH WHILE THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED THE ENGINE REVVED UP AS IF TO TAKE OFF. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND THE TACHOMETER ALMOST RED LINED. (SIMILAR TO THE AUDI 5000 PROBLEM EARLY 80'S.) THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS AFTER MAKING A U-TURN ON A DEAD-END STREET AND PROCEEDING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. BOTH FEET WERE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER ON 07/06 WITH 116 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. OUTCOME STILL PENDING.

FROM DELIVERY DATE I NOTICE A SQUEAL AND WHINING NOISE AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS, WHEN THE GAS IS UNAPPLIED. *AK

OUR 99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS 4 MONTHS OLD AND IS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE; THE TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED, THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE DEALER THOUGHT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSFER CASE WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT DIDN'T HOWEVER. FURTHERMORE THE GEAR OIL HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD BUCK AND EVEN STALL SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD MAKE TIGHT TURN. FURTHERMORE THE TRANSMISSION IS SOMETIMES CLUNKING. OUR POWER WINDOW NEEDS A NEW MOTOR. THE CAR KEEPS ON PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND THAT STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED. WE HAVE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WISH THE LEMON LAW WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROTECTIVE OF CONSUMERS THAN CAR DEALERS AND MANUFACTURERS. *AK

FROM PARK TO REVERSE GRINDING/CLICKING, & SQUEAKING NOISE SAME FROM PARK TO DRIVE. 2ND GEAR AND 3RD GEARS SLIPPING/VEHICLE HESITATION. DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX 5 TIMES, AND DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. *AK

OSCILLATING NOISE/VIRBRATION COMING FROM FRONT, UNDER DRIVE AT 70MPH,DISAPPEARS UNDER COAST. *AK

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER ABOUT 6000 MILES. THERE IS A LOT OF NOISE FROM THE REAR, SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL OR AXLE. IT IS LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD OVER THE RADIO. THE FRONT ROTORS APPEAR TO BE WARPED. WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHUDDERS. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. *AK

I HAD A SEVERE VIBRATION IF BRAKING OVER 50MPH. THE DEALER RESURFACED BUT NOT REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS. THE PROBLEM IMPROVED BUT IS NOT 100% RESOLVED. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING WITH RESURFACED WARPED ROTORS THAT THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE BECAUSE CRYSLER WILL NOT AUTHORIZE IT. *AK
