1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE DASHBOARD HAS SHORTED OUT, CAUSING MANY COMPONENTS, SUCH AS DOOR LOCKS, AND WINDOWS, TO SHORT OUT. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

AT 35 MPH DEAD-ON FRONTAL IMPACT, THE SEATBELT FAILED TO LOCK UNTIL DRIVER'S BODY MADE HEAD AND CHEST CONTACT WITH STEERING WHEEL AND DRIVER'S AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. *AK

MULTIPLE FAILURE OF ABS ON 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ABS DASH WARNING LIGHT REGULARY COMES ON AND ABS SHUTS DOWN WITH A SHUDDER OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. TYPICALLY AFTER SEVERAL MILES ARE DRIVEN. AFTER VEHICLE SHUT DOWN FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES, SYSTEM WILL RESET ONLY TO FAIL AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL MILES DRIVEN. I HAVE A 1995 GRAND CHEROKEE AND A 1997 GRAND CHEROKEE- BOTH HAVE SIMILAR ABS FAILURE.*AK

PREMATURE WEAR OF DOOR HINGE PINS CAUSED MY DOOR TO SAG. THIS SAG CAUSES A MISALIGNMENT OF THE DOOR LOCK AND THE PILLAR PIN. EVENTUALLY THE DOOR STRUCTURE AROUND THE LOCK BREAKS DUE TO STRESS AND THE RESULT IS THE DOOR CANNOT BE CLOSED OR HELD AGAINST THE CAR. THE DOOR CREATES A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DOOR CAN COME OPEN UPON OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. MY DOOR CANNOT BE SHUT BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION AND EVEN IN THE EVENT OF A MINOR ACCIDENT THE DOOR COME OPEN AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER.*JB

WHILE PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK AND TRYING TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AN UP HILL VEHICLE WILL ROLL BACK A COUPLE OF FEET.*AK

SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER BECAUSE IT BROKE WHILE DRIVING. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

DEALER HAS TO REPLACE WATER PUMP BECAUSE IT FAILED WHILE DRIVING. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

TWO FUEL PUMPS FAILED WHILE DRIVING, REPLACEMENT WAS DONE BY DEALER. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

A CRACK HAS DEVELOPED IN INTAKE MANIFOLD. DEALER NOTIFIED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

MY FUEL PUMP FAILED, COSTING ME $600 FOR A NEW PUMP + $300 TO "FLUSH" THE GAS TANK. I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP (HOSELTON JEEP, FAIRPORT, NY) THAT THESE FAILURES ARE AN "EPIDEMIC" IN 95/96 JEEPS. EVIDENTLY FAULTY MANUFACTURER OF THE FUEL SYSTEM CAUSES FUEL TANK PROBLEMS THAT RESULT IN FUEL PUMP FAILURE. MY SMALL DEALER SAYS HE HAS TO FIX 200-300 OF THESE EACH YEAR. IF YOU MULTIPLY THAT BY THE NUMBER OF JEEP DEALERS/SHOPS THAT REPAIR JEEPS, THE NUMBER NATIONWIDE MUST BE IN THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OR MORE. DAIMLER/CHRYSLER/JEEP REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A CLEAR MANUFACTURING DEFECT IF THERE EVER WAS ONE.*JB
