1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

REPLACED BRAKES ONCE AND HAVE SQUEALING WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, ALSO BRAKE PEDAL SINKS WHEN AT A STOP,SPARE TIRE WAS A RECALL BUT NEVER MENTIONED BY CARPOINT.*AK

FRONT TIRES HAD TO CONSTANLY BE REPLACED, BECAUSE THEY WOR OUT AT A RAPID PACE, RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THE RIGHT FRONT ROTOR WERE ON RECALL.

JEEP WAS IN FOR MAINTENANCE, DEALER NOTICED CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. MECHANIC STATED THAT THESE CRACK ALL THE TIME AND IN THE SAME PLACE. THE DEALERSHIP NEW EXACTLY HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DEALER SAID JEEP REDESIGNED THE MANIFOLD, DUE TO MANY FAILURES. I BELIEVE THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME ITEM OFTEN. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, THIS WAS DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED DUE TO THE DANGER INVOLVED WITH EXHAUST ENTERING THE CAR. IF THE DEALER HAD NOT OF POINTED THIS OUT, I WOULD NOT HAVE EVER KNOWN. JEEP CUSTOMER SVC WAS NOTIFIED OF MY FEELINGS AND OPENED A FILE ON THIS MATTER. THANK YOU!!!!!*AK

PE 01 021/INADVERTENT ROLLAWAY IN REVERSE: WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY JUMP OUT OF DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL. DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME.*AK CONSUMER STATES THIS IS OCCURRING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN MOTION. *SLC

THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME THAT FRONT ROTORS WILL BE REPLACED DUE TO GRINDING NOISE AND SHAKING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. *AK

PRIOR TO SECOND RECALL NOTIFICATION RECEIVED, THE SECOND FRONT ROTOR FAILED, HOWEVER CONSUMER PREVIOUSLY HAD A FRONT ROTOR REPLACED AND WAS REIMBURSED, AND NOW THE MANUFACTURER IS DENYING CONSUMER FOR THE SECOND ROTOR BEING REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY ARE STATING THAT THEY HAVE ON FILE THAT CONSUMER HAS ALREADY BEEN REIMBURSED FOR BOTH ROTORS, CONUMER IS REQUESTING RECONSIDERATION FOR THE SECOND ROTOR, CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE AND PULL TO THE LEFT, THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH CALIPERS AND REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE SHOES.*JB

TRAVELING AT 50MPH WHEN HOOD FLEW OPEN. UPON INVESTIGATION SAW THAT BOTH MAIN LATCH AND BACKUP SAFETY CATCH WERE RUSTED AND NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. LEX, KY DEALER STATED "NO RESTRICTIONS" TO REPLACE "HOOD, LATCH, AND SAFETY CATCH" BUT S.FLA DEALER WONT COOPERATE (RELOCATED TO S.FLA.) NOR WILL CHRYSLER.*AK

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO DEALER, REPLACED FAILED FUEL PUMP. ON 15 JUNE, 2001 VEHICLE AGAIN DID NOT START. DEALER REPLACED FAILED FUEL PUMP. SECOND FUEL PUMP LASTED 25 MILES BEFORE IT TOO FAILED. DEALER STATED IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER.*AK AT TIMES VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE WHEN PUT IN GEAR. *SLC

AT 40000 MILES VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP IN PARK, CONSUMER THEN PUT VEHICLE IN REVERSE, AND VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER, VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT BACKWARD. GEAR INDICATOR SHOWED IT WAS IN REVERSE. DEALER SUGGESTED CONSUMER MIGHT HAVE HAD VEHICLE SERVICED, AND WRONG TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS USED. SINCE THEN, THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 MORE TIMES, ALSO, ONCE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN DRIVE FROM PARK, AND IT TOOK ABOUT A MINUTE BEFORE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. GEAR SELECTOR ALSO SHOWED IT WAS IN DRIVE. DEALER COULD NOT REMEDY.*AK FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED, VEHICLE WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT START. *SLC

CONSUMER LEFT THE VEHICLE RUNNING WITH THE SHIFT LEVER IN PARK, AND WHEN HE TURNED AROUND AFTER HEARING A NOISE, HE SAW THAT VEHICLE WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS.*YH
