1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

AUTO TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED AT SAME TIME. TORQUE CONVERTER WOULD LOCK UP AND STALL ENGINE WHILE TRYING TO LURCH FORWARD. MOTOR MOUNTS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEMS WERE FOUND BY MECHANIC WHILE REBUILDING TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER. ALL COVERED UNDER FACTORY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

POWER WINDOW WIRING BETWEEN THE DRIVERS DOOR AND BODY (FLEX CONDUIT) FAILED, AND LEFT ONLY THE DRIVER WITH WINDOW CONTROL.INSPECTION SHOWED SPLIT INSULATION (FATIGUE) EXPOSED CONDUCTOR AND OPEN CIRCUIT. REPAIR OF WIRE LASTED FOR 4-5 MONTHS BEFORE ADDITIONAL WIRES FAILED AND OR THE SAME WIRE FAILED IN A NEW LOCATION. WIRE INSULATION SEEMS TO BE TOO STIFF AND CRACKED, CAUSING STRESS ON THE CONDUCTORS ,AND SUBSEQUENT FAILURE. MOST RESENT FAILURE 5-99 CAUSED WIRES TO MELT. SEATBELT FAILURE: DRIVERS BELT WILL NOT RETRACT, AND IS THERE FOR LOOSE AND UNSAFE. BELT RETRACTOR SPRING WAS BROKEN AND STICKING OUT OF UNIT. *AK

LENSES ARE TURNING MILKY-YELLOW, REDUCING LIGHTING INTENSITY. I DON'T CONSIDER HEADLIGHT LENSES A "WEARABLE ITEM". DO YOU? *AK

THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD. AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE JEEPS 93-94. *AK

PLUG WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN HOLDING THE LUBRICANT INSIDE THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS MISSING WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FIRE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING. NLM

ONGOING /INTERMITENT PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION CHANGING GEAR FROM 4TH TO 3RD. ALSO VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 1ST. VEHICLE BEEN IN/OUT OF DEALER SHOP ON TWO OCCASIONS, AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY SHIFTS FROM 4TH GEAR TO 3RD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WILL NOT SHIFT BACK TO 4TH. ALSO WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR EITHER. SHIFT CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON A VERY INFREQUENT BASIS. THE TRANSMISSION WILL OPERATE NORMALLY IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, TURNED OFF, AND THEN RESTARTED. IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEMS WITH SOME ELECTRONIC COMPONENT. *AK

A/C EVAPORATOR COOLER PROBABLY DEFECTIVE SINCE NEW GIVEN NUMBER OF TIMES RECHARGED DEALER AND/OR CHRYSLER DENY ANY PROBLEMS WITH COMPONENT EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A RATHER HIGH FAILURE RATE. *AK

ALTERNATOR/BRAKING SYSTEM/WINDOW WIRING, MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED. HAD TO BE REPLACED. THESE FAILURES COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

DRIVER DOOR MUST BE REPLACED COMPLETLY . THE WELD DID NOT HOLD THE SHELL AND INNER WORKINGS TOGETHER, ALLOWING THE DOOR TO SWING OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO DOOR LATCH. THE DRIVER DOOR BROKE WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX 40 MILES PER HOUR. DRIVER HELD DOOR TOGETHER WHILE DRIVING HOME. THE PASSENGER DOOR CAN BE REPAIRED BY BODY SHOP BY RE WELDING THE DOOR TOGETHER. THE LOCKS HAVE NOT BEEN PERMANTLY DAMAGED. BOTH ARE AT THE COST OF THE OWNER. MANUFACTURE WILL PAY NOTHING. MY CONCERN NOW IS THE SAFETY OF THE OTHER TWO DOORS AND THEIR DURABILITY. ALSO IF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED BY CRYSTLER FOR THE FUTURE, AND THAT THE AMERICAN MANUFACTURER WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT THAT APPARENTLY HAS A DEFECT OF SOME SORT. *AK
