1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE REPLACED HER TRANSMISSION MODULE IN MARCH OF 2008. THE PART WAS REPLACED AGAIN IN DECEMBER OF 2008. THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY DRIVEN AND THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MODULE HAS BEGUN TO FAIL FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 184,000.

I ALSO HAVE THE "DEATH WOBBLE." I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE NOT INSTALLED A LIFT KIT OR OVERSIZED TIRES. I HAVE A 2-WHEEL DRIVE SO NOT TAKEN OFF-ROAD. MY MECHANIC HAS REPLACED THE STEERING ARE AND SAYS THERE IS NO EQUIPMENT PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES ROTATED, BALANCED, AND ALIGNED. THEY SAY THERE IS NO TIRE OR ALIGNMENT ISSUE. THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STILL EXISTS. IT APPEARS MY ONLY ALTERNATIVE IS TO GET RID OF MY JEEP. THAT IS A PROBLEM. I WILL FIGHT, I'M NOT HAPPY! WHAT CAN I DO? WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS AT THIS POINT? PLEASE HELP? IT HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND I CAN DEMONSTRATE ALMOST AT WILL. IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, DEATHS WILL OCCUR! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND THE LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE DEALER CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, A MECHANIC ADVISED HER THAT THERE IS A WIRING PROBLEM. THE PERFORM SERVICE LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO TURN IT OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140081.

HAVE BEEN GOING OUT TO UNLOCK JEEP AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. THIS IS NOW HAPPENING EVERY DAY WHERE THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE HEARD THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME JEEP HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. NOW THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT GO ON UNTIL I CLOSE THE DOOR AND THEN WILL NOT GO OUT. SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE WITH THEM ON AND THE DOOR UNLOCKED. I DON'T FEEL VERY SAFE IN THIS ANYMORE. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT, LEFT SIDE SUPPORT RAIL FAILURE. RAIL TORE AND BOLT BROKE THROUGH METAL. SEAT RAIL WAS REPLACED AFTER FAILURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME FAILED. WHEN HE SAT DOWN IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, IT IMMEDIATELY RECLINED BACKWARDS. HE BELIEVES THE FAILURE IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME FAILURE HE WAS EXPERIENCING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

MY DRIVER'S SEAT (BACK AND FRAME) BROKE AND I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE. *TR

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIME ANNOYANCE, WAS TOLD BY A DEALER THAT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CANNOT BREAK THIS ITEM WITH EVERYDAY USE AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO FIX IT OUT OF MY POCKET. THE LIGHT AND CHIME HAPPEN CONTINUOUSLY AND ALTHOUGH THAT IS VERY ANNOYING IT IS ALSO A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEAT TRACK FOR 1999 POWER SEATS HAS BROKEN, I SEEN SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO JEEPS, FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE MADE OF GARBAGE, THE METAL TRACK JUST SNAPS AND IT CAN NOT BE THAT I8 AM HEAVY SET AS I ONLY WEIGH 155 LBS. WHY HAVE A SEAT BELT ON IF THE SEAT IT SELF IS NOT BOLTED TO FLOOR AS THE TRACK IS BROKEN? *TR

NOISE COMING FROM THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER IN THE CENTER DASH AREA EVEN AFTER THE KEY HAS BEEN REMOVED. WHEN RUNNING HEATER IS ON FULL ON BOTH SIDES WITH VERY LOW HEAT COMING OUT ON ONE SIDE WITH COLD AIR ON THE OTHER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS WILL COST UP TO 1500.00 TO FIX AT THE DEALER WITH SOME REPORTS SAYING IT "MAY" NEED TO BE DONE AGAIN AFTER 50-60 THOUSAND MILES. ALSO, BLOWER MOTOR CONTROLLER LOCATED BY THE BLOWER STARTS BURNING SMELL!! WHEN IT AUTO THE CONTROL BOARD FAILED AND THEN BLOWER QUIT. THE MOTOR MUST BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A WIRING HARNESS REPAIR KIT!!!! PLEASE TELL ME WHY NO RECALL ON THIS. IT IS SUCH AN ISSUE THE PARTS NEEDED WERE ON BACK ORDER!! *TR
