1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

BRAKES WARP AND CAR SHAKES AND SHIMMIES WHEN BRAKING. DEALER HAS REPAIRED 5 TIMES AND REPAIR LASTS APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD. CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING. THE NHTSA HAS DONE NOTHING IN SPITE OF HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THEIR WEB SITE. I AM SURE THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED ON THIS SITE. THE CAR IS A SAFETY RISK. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE BRAKES TOTALLY REPLACED AT CHRYSLER'S EXPENSE. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE? *JB

THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WORE OUT PREMATURELY. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM TWICE, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK *SC

THE VEHICLE TENDS TO SHAKE. WHILE THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN AND BRAKES IT CAUSES STEERING SHAKE, MAKING THE VEHICLE HARD TO MANEUVER, ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT SHE ALMOST WRECKED THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS. *TC

1999 GRAND CHEROKEE JEEP.. LIMITED EDITION..THE SHOCKS FREEZE UP OR THE FLUID IS FREEZING UP..IT IS FINE IN THE SUMMER..BUT JUST AS SOON AS IT TURNS COLD THE SHOCKS FREEZE. THIS JEEP IS KEPT IN A GARAGE..NOT OUTSIDE..IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE WHEN YOU DRIVE IT. IT STARTS AS SOON AS IT TURNS THE LEAST BIT COLD. *AK

RECALL 04V112000 CONCERNING CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR WIRING: CONSUMER STATED THAT THIS RECALL INFORMATION FOUND ON NHTSA WEBSITE WAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING WITH STALLING AT ANY SPEED. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THEY INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. *AK

SINCE I OWNED THIS VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN A HAZARD SAFETY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.I CAN HONESTLY SAY IM AFRAID EVEN TO SELL IT AND PASS THE PROBLEM ON TO SOMEONE ELSE.UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED IS WHEN JEEP WILL FINALLY DUE SOMETHING ABOUT IT.THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE CONSTANTLY WARPING OR FAILING.CONSTANT SHUDDERING/VIBRATING IN SLOW SPEED STOP AND HIGH SPEED DECELARATION STOP.ON THIS SITE ALONE THERE IS 326 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE.DEALER JUST TURNS ROTORS AND FIXES PADS.HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU ACTUALLY TURN A ROTOR.COME ON ALREADY.THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER IN EFFECT RIGHT NOW AS IM WRITING THIS.IT IS ONLY VALID FOR KANSAS/MISSOUR RESIDENTS ONLY.HELLO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CHEROKEE.ROTORS AND PADS HAVE BEEN SERVICED ONLY NOTHING ELSE.I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER BRAKE SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION.THEY STATED TO ME THE ROTORS ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND JEEP SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THEM ALONG WITH NEW CALIPERS.ALL A WANT IS AN END TO THIS PROBLEM.I REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS AGAIN AT MY EXPENSE.STILL SAME PROBLEM.I PREVIOUSLY HAD 2 JEEPS BEFORE EARLIER MODELS WITH NO PROBLEMS.I GUESS CHRYSLER HAS LOST ANOTHER CUSTOMER.*AK

I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE INFAMOUS AUTOMATIC DUAL ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL. CURRENTLY THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM BLOWS HEAT THROUGH THE HVAC DUCTS BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON JEEPS WITH THE DUAL ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL AND COSTS ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR. DAIMLERCHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THE THOUSANDS OF JEEPS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *AK

THE TAILLIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON OUR 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BURN OUT EVERY 2 MONTHS. THE LIGHT HOLDER FOR THE BULBS MELTS DUE TO THE HEAT FROM THE BULBS AND AFTER REPLACING THE BULBS FOUR TIMES THE HOLDER HAS MELTED ENOUGH THAT THERE IS NO CONTACT WITH THE BULBS THUS NO TAILLIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL OF THE SAME MODELS AROUND TOWN. THE DEALER IS WILLING TO SELL A NEW LIGHT FIXTURE FOR $150.00 PLUS LABOR. IF I PAY THIS JUST TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN A YEAR THIS IS NOT RIGHT. TODAY I READ WHERE GM RECALLED 1MIL SUV FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. *JB

HEADLIGHT LENS HAVE DETERIORATED SO SEVERELY OVER A 5 YEAR PERIOD THAT SEEING AT NIGHT IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY FACTOR.*AK

WHEN ADDING WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID, THE HOOD CAME BACK DOWN AND HIT ME ON THE HEAD. VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY SITUATION. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE HOOD STRUTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. *NM
