1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL 00V136000 REPAIRS CONCERNING FRONT BRAKE ROTORS IN 2001. DEALER REPLACED FRONT ROTORS. ALSO FOUND THAT REAR ROTORS WERE BAD AND REPLACED THEM. AT 18,000 MILES LATER, FRONT AND REAR ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO VEHICLE PULSATING WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. *AK

THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT DESIGN ALLOWS THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT UPON VEHICLE IGNITION SHUT DOWN. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AIR BAG ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED MODULE. THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED DUE TO THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. *AK *TS

RATTLING IN FRONT END OVER MINOR BUMPS. SHOCKS ALREADY REPLACED, FRONT-END CHECKS OUT BY MECHANIC. ALSO, POPPING AND SLIPPING OF FRONT-END INTO TURNS AT SLOW SPEEDS AND RIGHT AFTER A TURN. IT SOUNDS DANGEROUSLY LIKE FRONT-END IS GOING TO FALL APART. I HEARD IT'S EXPENSIVE AND EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT SO I DESPERATELY NEED HELP BEFORE I DISCARD THE VEHICLE ALTOGETHER.*AK

WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FILLED TO IT'S CAPACITY, GAS LEAKED FROM THE TOP SIDE OF THE TANK AND FILLED THE NOZZLE CONNECTION TO THE TANK. DAIMLER CHRYSLER REFUSED RESPONSIBILITY. *AK *SCC *JB

I WAS DRIVING 45MPH WHEN THIS VEHICLE ENTERED THE ROAD WITHOUT LOOKING THE TRAFFIC AND I HIT HER ON THE BACK WITH MY 1997 JEEP. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT DIDN'T LOCK, CAUSING MY DAUGHTER GOING FORWARD AND INJURING HER NECK; PLUS BOTH AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. *AK

FUEL PUMP FAILURE. CAUSES LOSS OF POWER OR STALL OUT DURING ACCELERATION FOR PASSING, OR WHILE CLIMBING STEEP GRADES. OCCURS AFTER VEHICLE WARM-UP, WITH LOW FUEL TANK (LESS THAN HALF TANK), AND OFTEN WHILE MAKING A TURN.*AK

PER CONSUMER PART FOR THE INADVERTENT MOVEMENT, RECALL 02V 053000 WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE IN A REASONABLE TIME.*AK

WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS 1/4 FULL AND COMPUTED MILES READ MORE THEN 50 MILES LEFT, WE RAN OUT OF GAS. THE CAR STOPPED WORKING AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF DUE TO RUNNING OUT OF GAS. *JB

AC DRAIN HAS STOPPED UP 4 TIMES OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE CAR RESULTING IN LOTS OF WATER TO OVERFLOW ON THE CARPET OF THE CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CARPET. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEALER, "THE DRAIN MAY CLOG UP AT ANY TIME." WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS DRAIN? I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR DO THAT BEFORE. *JB

1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DEFECTIVE BRAKE ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE. *MR THE CONSUMER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE ROTORS IN WHICH THEY WERE REPLACED, THEN SIX MONTHS LATER RECEIVED A LETTER OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM, SO THE CONSUMER FORWARDED THE BILL TO CHRYSLER AND HASN'T BEEN REIMBURSED. THE CONSUMER HAS REQUESTED COMPENSATION FOR REPAIR COST. *SCC *JB
