1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE IN PARK THE VEHICLE POPPED INTO REVERSE, INJURING CONSUMERS WIFE WHILE SHE TRIED TO JUMP BACK IN TO STOP VEHICLE, CONSUMER WAS CRUSHED STARTING AT HER RIGHT ANKLE, UP HER LEG, KNEE, THIGH, PELVIS, ABDOMEN, CHEST, AND OVER HER RIGHT SHOULDER. CHILD WAS IN VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF ROLLAWAY. *JG *YH

I WAS PARKED, KEYS OUT OF CAR, UNOCCUPIED. CAR ROLLED BACK AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE.*AK

SEAT BELTS IN VEHICLE WILL COME UNDONE WITH A SMALL BUMP. CONSUMER HIT SEAT BELT WITH HER ELBOW, AND THE SEAT BELT CAME UNDONE. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK *JB

AFTER LEAVING VEHICLE IN IDLE, VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL BACK AND RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. CONTACTED DEALER WHO WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK *JB

SOMETIMES, WHEN THE CAR IS SET IN PARK, IT WILL NOT TURN THE ENGINE AND START. IT WILL ONLY START IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THEN TURN THE KEY. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE OUT OF EVERY 100 TO 150 STARTS, BUT IT'S TROUBLESOME. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR IT TO BE FIXED, WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS, BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING PERIODICALLY.*AK

WHEN PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK AND WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR INTO REVERSE, RESULTING IN ROLLOVER. *AK

PULLED INTO REAR OF OWN BUSINESS. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK, WENT INSIDE. WHEN WIFE RETURNED, VEHICLE STRUCK A POST ABOUT 100+ FEET AWAY BREAKING DRIVERS SIDE TAIL LIGHT.*AK

BOTH FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AS THE ENGINE WAS LIFTING AND SETTLING. OF THE 4 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES THAT I AM AWARE OF, 3 OF THEM HAD THE SAME PROBLEM (A '94, 95, 98). THE ONE THAT DIDN'T WAS A 19'93. SINCE THE TRANSMISSION CONNECTS TO THE MOTOR, I THOUGHT THAT THIS MAY BE CONTRIBUTING TO RECALL CAMPAIGN #02V053000, INVOLVING VEHICLES SHIFTING INTO REVERSE WITHOUT WARNING.*AK

THE FRONT PASSANGER SEAT BELT LOCKS IN THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION (UNFASTENED) WHEN THE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW 20F. TROY SHAFFER AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY CAR WAS A TEXAS CAR AND REFUSED TO REPLACE IT UNDER EXTENDED WARRENTEE WITHOUT SEEING THE DEFECT. HE RECOMMENDED TO MY HUSBAND THAT HE TAKE THE CAR UP NORTH TO HAVE IT FIXED.*AK

UPON PARKING VEHICLE GEAR SLIPPED INTO REVERSE, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
