AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT GO INTO THE PROPER GEAR, WHICH CAUSES SURGING AND MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ON FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES (SINCE 1993) FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY. WE NOTICED THE PROBLEM SINCE WE OWNED THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.THIS PROBLEM OCCURS VERY RARELY BUT IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR SERIOUS INJURY. THIS PAST DECEMBER (12/28/98), ON A RAINY DAY, I WAS DRIVING AT 30 MILE PER HOUR AND AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION I STARTED TO BRAKE, I HEARD THE NOISE OF THE ABS SYSTEM. WHEN I REACHED THE SIGN I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE CAR FAILED TO STOP. I PROCEEDED AGAINST MY WILL AND FINALLY THE CAR STOPPED PAST THE INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY NO OTHER CAR WAS AT THE INTERSECTION OR NO PEOPLE WERE CROSSING BECAUSE I COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES TO MYSELF OR SOMEBODY ELSE. WE CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALER ASKING IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON OUR BRAKE SYSTEM OR IF OTHER OWNERS OF '93 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE COMPLAINED ABOUT THEIR ABS BRAKE SYSTEM BUT THEY SAID NO. WE DIDN'T TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER BACAUSE THEY FAILED TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG THE PREVIOUS TIMES.AS A RESULT OF THAT SCARY EVENT WE DISABLED THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. I ALSO OWNED A '95 DODGE RAM PICK-UP TRUCK WITH ABS BRAKES SO I'M FAMILIAR WITH THIS KIND OF BRAKES AND THEIR OPERATION. THE BRAKES ON THE GRAND CHEROKEE BEHAVED ERRACTICLY SINCE THE BEGINNING. THAT NEVER HAPPENED WITH THE DODGE RAM. IF OTHER JEEPS FROM 1993 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPLACE THEM AT THEIR EXPENSES AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE WARNED OF THE DANGER.
