1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I CURRENTLY OWN A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. OVER THE LAST YEAR I NOTICED A SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. THE NOISE BECAME MORE APPARENT AFTER I WOULD HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR ADJUST MY SEATING POSITION. ON THE 10TH OF JUNE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE FRONT OF MY SEAT POPPED OFF OF THE POWER SEAT TRACK. MY SEAT FLIPPED BACK AND RESTED ON THE REAR SEAT. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO LEAN FORWARD AND REGAIN MY BALANCE. THE SEAT IS STILL ONLY ATTACHED BY THE REAR PIVOT POINTS. I HAD TO LOWER MY REAR SEATS AND PUSH MY DRIVERS SEAT BACK UNTIL IT COULD BE STABILIZED. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENTIRE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE TRACK AND THAT THE REPAIRS WERE MY RESPONSIBILITY. JEEP OBVIOUSLY FAILED TO ENGINEER THEIR SEAT TRACKS PROPERLY WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER ORDERED A NEWER OIL PAN FOR THE CONTACT BUT AFTER 90 DAYS, HE STILL HAD NOT RECEIVED IT. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 130,000.

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE- 112,000 MILE.-AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND "DINGS" WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED TO THE LEFT. THE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR ABOUT FIVE TO TEN SECONDS DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH OF THE TURN. CONCERN IS THAT AIR BAG WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IN A CRASH SITUATION. THIS BEGAN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WITH INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCES BUT IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. INTERNET REPORTS FROM CONSUMERS SHOW THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 1999 JGC. SHOULDN'T THIS BE LOOKED INTO? IT COSTS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY ISSUE AT A DEALER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

UNDER NORMAL USE, THE HOLLOW STEEL TUBE SUPPORTING FRONT OF DRIVER'S SEAT SHEERED COMPLETELY ON THE SIDE CLOSEST TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CAUSING THE CHAIR TO MOVE 6" - 12" UP AND DOWN AND SIDEWAYS DURING NORMAL OPERATION. *TR

PASSENGER REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR AND REAR LATCH LOCK ACTUATOR BROKEN MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ENTER THE CAR FROM THOSE TWO DOORS. *TR

MY DRIVERS SEAT HAS BROKEN TWICE. IM PRETTY MUCH LAYING DOWN WHEN I DRIVE. I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT AND THAT ONE BROKE TOO. *TR

MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS JUST HAD IT'S THIRD FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME. THE FIRST TIME THAT THE SEAT FRAME BROKE BACK IN 2002 IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WITH CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE SEAT FRAME WITH A NEW SEAT FRAME. IT BROKE AGAIN IN 2006. THIS TIME I HAD IT WELDED AND IT LASTED UNTIL APRIL 2010 WHEN IT BROKE AGAIN! EACH TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, WHILE ACCELERATING, AND IT SNAPPED AND THREW ME BACKWARDS IN THE SEAT TOWARDS THE REAR SEAT AREA. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR EACH TIME AND THEN PLACED TEMPORARY SUPPORTS AROUND THE SEAT UNTIL I COULD HAVE THE REPAIR COMPLETED. I AM PLANNING TO HAVE THE FRAME WELDED AGAIN THIS TIME. I AM SORRY THAT I DID NOT REPORT THIS BEFORE NOW. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND I AM AFRAID TO ALLOW MY YOUNG DRIVERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD TO DRIVE THIS JEEP ANY LONGER. I AM THE ONLY ONE TO DRIVE IT. *TR

THE BRACKETS HOLDING THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HAVE BROKEN AND CAUSES THE SEAT TO BE UNSTABLE. *TR
