1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I HAVE A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE PAINT IS JUST POPPING OFF THE TOP AS WELL AS SOME SPOTS ON THE HOOD. ALSO THE BUMPERS AND OTHER TRIM ON THE VEHICLE HAS THIS WHITE CHALKY RESIDUE ON IT AND NOTHING WILL MAKE IT GO AWAY. IS THERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS TYPE DAMAGE OR WILL YOU FILE THIS COMPLAINT SO THERE WILL BE A RECALL. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE AC EVAPORATOR REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. WHERE DO I GO TO GET MY REIMBURSEMENT SINCE I NOW KNOW THIS WAS A RECALL? *AK

WHILE DRIVING FUEL GAUGE SHOWED THE WRONG FUEL LEVEL. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO RUN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONSUMER WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN RECALL 97V194000. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPAIR VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED.*AK

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT IN WHICH I WAS REAR-ENDED. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN I WAS HIT BY A TUNDRA AT 45-50 MPH. MY 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS TOTALED AND MY SEAT (DRIVER'S SEAT) BROKE BACKWARDS ON IMPACT, WHICH RESULTED IN SEVERE BACK, NECK AND KNEE PAIN (DUE THE SEAT BACK BREAKING MY RIGHT KNEE HIT THE AREA UNDERNEATH THE STEERING WHEEL -SURGERY IS STILL PENDING; I AM ATTENDING PHYSICAL REHABILITATION 3X PER WEEK). *LA..UPDATED 10/30/13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE ALSO BEGAN LEAKING GAS.

RECALL 97V194000; WHILE DRIVING FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT TANK WAS HALF FULL EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS. MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP HAD REPLACED FUEL GAUGE TWICE. RUSSELL DODGE, 3500 WEST TENNESSEE ST, TALLAHASSEE FL 850575-4111.*AK

VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE READ INCORRECTLY WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. *PH WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH THEN DIED OUT. THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER ADDED TWO GALLONS OF GAS AND VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP. THE GAS TANK READ 1/4 FULL AND THERE WAS NO LOW FUEL WARNING. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS LIKE THE FIRST EXCEPT IT OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. *PH *NLM

POWER STEERING PUMP BRACKET BROKE IN HALF MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. BECAUSE OF THE BROKEN BRACKET THE FAN BELT CAME OFF SO THERE WAS NO COOLING SYSTEM OR ALTERNATOR AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE CAN BE HEARD. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BUT HAS NOT FOUND A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *PH
