1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

MOTOR KEEPS STALLING WHILE DRIVING OR IDLE. THIS IS UNSAFE.. MY LIFE IS ON THE LINE. REPLACED ALL PARTS THAT DEAL WITH ISSUES AND ISSUES ARE STILL THERE. .. RECALL AND FIX ISSUES....

VEHICLE BOUGHT BRAND NEW FOR JEEP DEALER. ONLY HAS 92,000 MILES. WIFE HAD A FLAT TIRE MONDAY JUNE 17TH. CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK TO PUT SPARE TIRE ON. REFUSED BECAUSE VEHICLE CAME WITH A 17IN SPARE .TIRES ARE 225 75 16 IN FROM FACTORY. SPARE HAS NEVER BEEN INSTALLED. HAS ALL STICKERS ON RIM, WRITING ON TIRE NO MARKS OF INSTALLING. POLICE OFFICER TOLD MY WIFE IF HE HAD SEEN IT ON VEHICLE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TICKET FOR A UNSAFE TIRE. CONTACTED BOTH DEALER AND JEEP. WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. IF THIS VEHICLE CAME WITH WRONG SPARE, HOW MANY OTHER VEHICLES HAVE AND WHERE DRIVEN AND CAUSED ACCIDENT. THERE IS PROBABLY LESS THAN 2 IN OF CLEARANCE. SOMEBODY WHO JUST PUTS IT ON MAY NOT NOTICE.

MY VEHICLE STALLS OUT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED TURNING OFF OF AN OFF RAMP FROM THE FREEWAY AND WHILE DRIVING STRAIT DOWN A CITY STREET. ALSO A COUPLE OF TIME I PARKED AND TURNED IT OFF AND IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON FOR 10-15 MINS. ALL THE INCIDENTS OF STALLING OUT, AFTER I WAIT 10-15 MINS IT WILL START BACK UP. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH.

VEHICLE STALL'S WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED, OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE...ENGINE TEMPERATURE ETC. ON SOME OCCASIONS IF I SLIP IT INTO NEUTRAL I CAN RESTART BUT MOSTLY I HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND WAIT A FEW MIN AND THEN IT STARTS...THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE PCM, CEL, RELAYS, STARTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, FUEL FILTER (IN-LINE), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS, TUNE UP, OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACED...DEALER AND MY REGULAR GARAGE ARE STUMPED. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON FORMS ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE!!! IT SEEMS TO ME THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH NO FOREWARNING THE GAUGES SLING CW THEN CCW TO ZERO RPM AND ZERO MPH ALTHOUGH STILL COATING AT HWY SPEED YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING THE CAR IS OFF...NOTE IT CAN STALL JUST AFTER STARTING WHILE STATIONARY OR MOVING OR 1/2HR LATER OR MORE I MIGHT STOP FOR SOMETHING (GAS, GROCERIES ETC) CAR RUNNING GREAT COME BACK TO THE CAR AND IT WONT START...IIT SEEMS TOTALLY RANDOM! NOTE THIS 1ST STARTED @ 140000 MILES AND IS STILL OCCURRING 5000 MILES LATER... SOMETIME IT WILL DRIVE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS SOMETIME IT STALLED AT LEAST ONCE WHILE DRIVING...

BOTH FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS AND LEFT REAR CALIPER SEIZED CAUSING OVERHEATING TO THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM. IT ALSO CAUSED ROTOR DAMAGE,DISC DAMAGE AND BRAKE PAD DAMAGE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I AM NOT SURE IF IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING OR STATIONARY. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY PADS ONCE A YEA SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE REPLACED THE HUBS DISCS AND ROTATERSTWICE. I AM PREPARING TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WILL ALSO REPLACE THE RUBBER BRAKE LINES. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE IS A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IN MY OPINION IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE FROM THIS DEFECT.

I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND HEARD A STRANGE SCRAPING SOUND, WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THE GAS TANK WAS LITERALLY FALLING OFF THE CAR. THE SKIDPLATE/SUPPORT WAS ROTTED AWAY AND ONLY THE BACK PORTION OF IT WAS HOLDING THE GAS TANK UP. COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM IF I DIDN'T NOTICE THE SCRAPING SOUND AND CHECK BEFORE I DROVE IT ANYMORE.
