1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON DASHBOARD. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

THE CAR WAS PARKED, AT A CLOSE RANGE, FACING THE THE WALL NEXT TO MY GARAGE DOORS. WHEN IT WAS PUT TO REVERSE IN ORDER TO BACK UP FOR MANEUVERING, THE CAR DROVE FORWARD INSTEAD, HITTING THE WALL. I TRIED A NUMBER OF TIMES TO SET IT ON REVERSE BUT EACH TIME IT WOULD ONLY GO FORWARD. EVEN ON NEUTRAL, IT WOULD GO FORWARD. NO SERIOUS DAMAGE RESULTED BECAUSE THE CAR WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE WALL WHEN IT FIRST WENT FORWARD INSTEAD OF BACKWARDS AND AFTER THAT IT WAS PRESSED AGAINST THE WALL. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER BUT IT WAS CLOSED BECAUSE IT IS A SATURDAY. I DID CONTACT THE DEALER BUT I WAS TOLD THAT "SOMETHING MUST HAVE BROKEN". SINCE I READ SO MANY REPORTS ON INCIDENTS WITH JEEP 1995'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT THIS INCIDENT IMMEDIATELY.*AK

TRANSMISSION IS STILL SLIPPING AND DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY, ALSO TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING ON GARAGE FLOOR, SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE DETENT CABLE.

THE VEHICLE , ON ITS OWN WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, WENT INTO REVERSE WHILE THE DRIVER WAS AT THE REAR HATCH GETTING SOME PERSONAL ITEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE GARAGE AT THE TIME OF THE MISHAP. THE DRIVER WAS NEARLY RUN OVER BUT ESCAPED INJURY AS THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS OPEN AND THE DOOR HIT SIDE OF THE GARAGE DOOR OPENING WHICH STOP THE CAR. SEVERE DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE DOOR.*AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO STOP THEY GET VERY HARD AND HESITANT. WOULD HAVE TO PUMP BRAKE PEDAL FOR VEHICLE TO STOP. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

PARKING GEAR DOES NOT ENGAGE. DRIVERS SAYS THAT VEHICLE WILL ROLL BACK WHILE IN PARK. *AK

THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK OF THE 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS DISCRIBED TO ME AS "DETERIORATING"BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TODAY. THIS DETERIORATION HAS CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO FAIL A NUMBER OF TIMES, WITH SOME OCCURING IN TRAFFIC. THREE FUEL PUMPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE UNDERLYING DETERIORATION OF GAS TANK WAS DISCOVERED. THE TANK DETERIORATION IS CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP FAILURES. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS INSTANCES ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY HAVE YET TO DISCOVER THAT THE FUEL TANK AND NOT THE PUMP IS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. IF THIS TANK IS DETERIORATING, IS IT STILL SAFE IN A REAR END COLLISION. HAVE THERE BEEN INSTANCES OF STALLED JEEPS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS? HAS CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM?

UPON TURNING IGNITION, GEAR WENT FROM PARK TO REVERSE WITHOUT EVER BEING TOUCHED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. *AK *JB

IN VERY COLD WEATHER VEHICLE SHIFTS VERY HARD, RPMS GO UP TO 3000 AND IT TAKES 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. *AK

TWO FUEL PUMPS HAVE FAILED. CONSUMER'S INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT FUEL TANK WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH GAS. FUEL TANK MATERIAL INSIDE IS CRUMBLING CAUSING THE PUMP TO CLOG UP. *AK DEALER STATED THAT TANK IS A COMMON FAILURE AND MUST BE REPLACED, CONSUMER FEELS THE FUEL TANK IS MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS WHICH ARE NOT CHEMICALLY RESISTANT TO GASOLINE CAUSING THE TANK'S INTERIOR TO DISINTEGRATE. *TT
