1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

UPON SEEING THE NHTSA IS REVIEWING THE GRAND CHEROKEE FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS I BELIEVE MY JEEP IS EXIBITING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE DRIVE STICK HAS ALWAYS BEEN MOVEABLE FROM THE DRIVE OR REVERSE POSTION INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BUTTON. I HAVE ALSO EXPRERIANCED THE CAR SLIPPING GEARS WHILE IDLING.*AK

THE CAR ROLLS BACK TO REVERSE DIRECTION EVEN THOUGH GEAR IS SET TO FRON DIRECTION. *AK

TRANSFER CASE FAILED, BEARINGS, CHAIN, SEALS, AND LUBRICATION WERE REPLACED, EIGHT MONTHS LATER SEALS FAILED CAUSING TRANSFER CASE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, DEALER STATED MOPAR HAD NO WARRANTY SO CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY IN FULL FOR REPAIRS, CONSUMER WAS TOLD AT TIME OF FIRST REPLACEMENT THAT WORK WOULD BE GUARANTEED FOR TWELVE MONTHS. *SLC CONSUMER IS REQUESTING A REFUND FOR REPAIR EXPENSES. *SLC

VEHICLE WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. ALSO, HAD TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, AND IT REVVED UP TO RED. CAN HEAR A NOISE WHEN STARTING VEHICLE TO ROLL BACK. AT THAT POINT IT WILL GO INTO GEAR. PLEASE ADD VIN. *AK

VEHICLE SHIFTED SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY FROM PARK TO REVERSE WHILE IDLING RESULTING IN A COLLISION AND PROPERTY DAMAGE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE . PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK
