1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

1. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR LEAD TO THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER SEAT ANCHORING. 2. THE REAR ANCHORING OF THE DRIVER SEAT BUCKLED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WHILE DRIVING. THE METAL BROKE AT TWO LOCATIONS CAUSING THE SEAT TO WOBBLE SEVERELY MAKING DRIVING SAFELY IMPOSSIBLE. 3. ACCORDING TO JEEP, THE ENTIRE SEAT MUST BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. REINFORCEMENT WELDING COULD REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND PREVENT FUTURE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER SEAT DURING NORMAL OPERATION. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER ... IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT INCLUDE THE PRIOR DESCRIPTION BUT I'M IN QUESTION. WE HAVE HAD THIS 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN THE FAMILY FOR YEARS AND THE PAST YEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS STRICTLY COLD AIR (IT HAS DUAL AIR CONTROLS) - MY NEPHEW OWNED THE JEEP PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASING IT FROM HIM THIS PAST MONTH. HE SAID THIS HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR A WHILE AND NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. IN RESEARCHING THE FIX, IT SEEMS EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS SUGGESTED TO REPORT IT TO YOU IN HOPES THAT YOU CAN HELP WITH THE FIX AS IT IS A COSTLY ONE FROM JEEP ($1000 - $1500) ... SINCE EVERYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM IT HAS TO BE A JEEP DEFECT. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HELP US OUT. *TR

THE LEFT FRONT BRACKET ON MY DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE. THE SEAT NOW WOBBLES, AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. IT IS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THERE WAS NO MISTREATING OF THE VEHICLE, THE BRACKET BROKE UNDER NORMAL USE. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. SOMEONE MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED. *TR

HEATED SEAT SHORTED AND BURNT A HOLE IN SEAT CUSHION AND UNDER SIDE OF SEAT COVER. *TR

NO SIGNIFICANT EVENTS, OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, NO PRECURSOR TO EVENT OCCURRING WHEN EVER DRIVEN AFTER 40+ MILES, ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WITH OUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING, NEARLY DROVE INTO UTILITY POLE DUE TO LACK OF POWER STEERING WITH NO 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT OBD TESTER DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY LOCKED FAULTS, REPLACED AUTO SHUT DOWN RELAY, SAME PROBLEM, CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE TO DEALER TO THROW PARTS AT IT, CAN NOT FIX WHAT IS NOT BROKEN, MUST WAIT UNTIL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OR AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. HAS ALSO SHUT DOWN APPROXIMATELY 9 TIMES SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT WHILE DRIVING AND 3 TIMES WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE TACHOMETER JUMPS UP AND DOWN AND THEN DOWN TO ZERO. THE LAST AND MOST DANGEROUS EVENT OCCURRED ON 12/5/09. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT ON MY GRAND CHEROKEE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF DURING THE DAY THE LIGHT WORKS FINE, DIMMER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT IT STILL LIGHTS UP. I HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY CHANGING OUT THE BULBS AND THE PIGTAILS THE LIGHT GOES INTO BUT I CANT EVER GET IT TO WORK. I HAVE NOTICED THAT EVERY GRAND CHEROKEE IN THE SAME GENERATION AS MINE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE TALKED TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS THAT SAID THEY HAVE FIXED UPWARDS OF 50 GC'S WITH THAT SAME PROBLEM AND YOU MUST REPLACE BOTH TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES BECAUSE IF YOU REPLACE ONE IT WILL SHORT OUT IMMEDIATELY. I WORK IN THE AUTO PARTS BUSINESS SO I HAVE ACCESS TO THE PARTS TO FIX IT BUT THE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES ARE AROUND $140 A PIECE. I WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER WOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ABOUT IT, SEEING HOW COMMON IT IS, BUT I HAVE TALKED TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT IS UP TO NHTSA TO ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED TWO TICKETS RELATED TO THIS INCIDENT. IT BECOMES A HASSLE WHEN I SEE ALL THESE JEEPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM, SEEING HOW IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. *TR THANKS A LOT

I AM FACING ANOTHER BROKEN SEAT BRACKET ON A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THIS IS THE SECOND BROKEN BRACKET I HAVE HAD ON THE SAME SEAT IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS. THE LAST TIME I REPLACED IT, THE PART COST $170. NOW I'M TOLD IT WILL COST ME OVER $300. AND THAT'S JUST THE COST FOR THE PART--IT DOESN'T INCLUDE LABOR. THIS PART BEING BROKEN RESULTS IN MY VEHICLE BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT MY SEAT WOULD KEEP ME SAFELY WITHIN THE SEAT. I HATE EVEN TO THINK WHAT COULD HAPPEN, BUT IF I'M TRAVELING AT 70 M.P.H. AND I AM HIT, THE MOMENTUM OF MY ADULT BODY WOULD NOT BE PROTECTED BY THIS FAULTY SEAT DESIGN. IT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED BY THE MANUFACTURER, CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *TR

NOTHING LEADING UP TP THIS ISSUE... ABOUT 150000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED. AIRBAG LIGHT AND ALARM GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY ( 1-2 TIMES PER MINUTE) WHILE DRIVING. DEALER SAYS REPLACE ENTIRE AIRBAG FOR MORE THAN $2000. ARE THEY KIDDING? *TR

THE BLEND DOORS ON MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAVE BROKEN GIVING ME NO HEAT DURING THE WINTER. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS I DO NOT HAVE $1200.00 FOR FIX IT. THIS IS A TRAVESTY AND AN INDICATION OF JUST WHY THE AMERICAN BIG THREE ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE. THIS VEHICLE IS THE WORST VEHICLE THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY EVER OWNED. *TR
