1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED INTO NEUTRAL FIRST BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. THE DEALER SEEMED TO BE UNAWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT STATED THAT IT COULD BE DUE TO THE FILTER. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED OTHER CONSUMERS WHO WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 125,000.

AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIME CONTINUOUSLY AND RANDOMLY ARE DISPLAYED WHILE DRIVING...DEALER INDICATES THE SOLUTION IS "PROBABLY" A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING. *TR

NO INCIDENT. FAULTY PARTS THAT EVERY OWNER WILL HAVE TO REPAIR AT SOME TIME. THE HVAC SYSTEM BLEND DOORS FAIL BLOWING ONLY COLD AIR. ALL OWNER WILL OR HAD THIS PROBLEM. REPAIR COST FOR MINE WAS $850.00. THIS REPAIR MAY HAVE TO BE REPEATED AT LATER DATES. *TR

THE HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING AND DEFROST VENTILATION SYSTEM HAS A SYSTEMATIC PROGRESSIVE FAILURE. THE BLEND DOORS STARTED TO FAIL INTERFERING WITH THE AC AND DEFROST AND HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOW I HAVE TOTAL FAILURE AND ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT INTERFERES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO START AND IDLE, I'M LUCKY TO HAVE GOTTEN HOME. *TR

THE SOLENOID CONTINUES TO GO OUT, THREATENING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS WENT OUT TWICE WITHIN A YEAR OF REPLACEMENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET HAD DETACHED FROM THE BASE OF THE SEAT. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS GRADUALLY BECOMING LOOSE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 149,067.

MY AIR CONDITION AND HEATER DO NOT BLOW AIR INTO THE CABIN. CHRYSLER TELLS ME THAT IT IS THE BLEND DOORS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS IS $2,200. IF IT WAS SOMETHING I DID TO THE VEHICLE I COULD UNDERSTAND BUT I NOW HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES AND AIR OR HEAT. *TR

MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED'S HEATER CONTROL UNIT HAS BECOME FAULTY. THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON ANY SETTING, AND OUTSIDE COLD AIR COMES INTO THE CABIN WITH ZERO CONTROL. THIS IS MAKING VISIBILITY VERY POOR DUE TO LACK OF DEFROSTING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO A POOR "DESIGN" FROM THE FACTORY. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST $1,766.00 PLUS TAX TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SEEING IT BECOMES A SAFETY RISK DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG SENSOR. WHILE DRIVING THE LIGHT AND CHIME GO OFF RANDOMLY AND CONSTANTLY. AFTER RESEARCHING IT ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT MANY MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM - SEE HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE/T92EK7LI3QQU98ECO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART ACROSS MANY VEHICLES AND YET THE MANUFACTURER IS PUTTING THE $300+ COST TO FIX IT ON THE OWNERS.*TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DOWN A TWISTY ROAD AT 40 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN. SHE TRIED TO PULL UP ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE PEDAL WOULD NOT RELEASE. SHE THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF AND MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED ONE WEEK AFTER WE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE CRANK SHAFT AND CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSORS BECAUSE THE CAR TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING IT. WE CAN NO LONGER LET HER DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT IS UNSAFE FOR HER OR ANYONE ON THE ROAD. *TR
