1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

BRAKES PUSLISATING AND VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WITH BRAKING. BRAKES REPAIRED/REPLACED TWICE WITH NO RELIEF. PROBLEM STILL EXIST.

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS CONTINUOUSLY WARPING ON MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ULTIMATELY FIX THE PROBLEM OR CONTINUE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. BRAKES VIBRATE LOUDLY WHEN BREAKING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES AND CAR ONLY HAS 36,000+ MILES ON IT. REPAIRS ONLY LAST A FEW MONTHS BEFORE PROBLEM RECURS RATHER SUDDENLY, CAUSING BRAKES TO "SHIMMY" WITH LOUD VIBRATIONS. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND ATTRIBUTES IT TO "DRIVER HABITS/PATTERNS". MY LOCAL JEEP SERVICE SHOP SAYS THEY ARE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT CAN'T GET THE PARENT COMPANY TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. *JB

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT LEFT BRACKET THAT ATTACHES TO THE SUPPORT TO THE CAR BROKE WHILE DRIVING. THIS LEAVES THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT LOWER AND BASICALLY UNATTACHED TO THE CAR. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK THE THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR PARTS AND LABOR. BROUGHT UP THE POTENTIAL DANGER AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS AND WAS TOLD NO. *AK

THE DRIVERS SEAT LEFT FRONT CORNER HAS BROKEN DUE TO THIN METAL USED TO MANUFACTURE THIS PART..SHOUD BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL SITUATION IF IT BREAKS WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. *AK

THE BRAKE ROTORS ON 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEEROKEE WARPED EVERY 7-10,000 MILES. THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE WEB. JEEP HAS ISSUED ALL NEW BRAKE PARTS (ROTORS, PADS,CALIPERS) BUT REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE RETROFIT.*AK

CONTINUED PROBLEM WITH SIGNIFICANT FRONT BRAKES PULSATION DURING LIGHT TO MODERATE BRAKING. AT TIMES, STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES VIOLENTLY. LEARNED OF HOW COMMON THE PROBLEM WAS FROM THIS WEB SITE WITHIN A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE NEW IN 1998. KEPT HOPING FOR JEEP TO STEP UP AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. NURSED ORIGINAL PARTS TO 68K MILES WAITING FOR JEEP TO COME UP WITH BETTER SOLUTION THAN FREQUENT REPLACMENT OF ROTORS. FINALLY, IN 2002, NEW SERVICE BULLETIN CALLED FOR REPLACING CALIPERS WITH NEW DESIGN. NEW CALIPER AND ROTORS INSTALLED NOV 2002, 20K MILES LATER, PROBLEM RETURNED. SPOKE TO LOCAL SERVICE MANAGERS, NO SOLUTION. SPOKE WITH JEEP CORPORATE HQ, NO SOLUTION.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER TRYING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 20 MINUTES IT WAS ABLE TO START. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TOT HE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. *AK

I AM NOT SURE THIS IS THE CORRECT PLACE FOR THIS SO IF NOT MAYBE YOU COULD DIRECT ME TO THE PROPER PLACE FOR MY COMPLAINT.I HAVE A 99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ABOUT 20 MONTHS AGO THE BLEND DOORS IN THE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL BROKE THE COST FOR THIS WAS AROUND $1000.00, LAST MONTH THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED AND JEEP BEING AWARE OF THE PROBLEM UPDATED THE PART SO AS TO NOT FAIL SO EASILY IN JAN 2004. I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR A COMPLETE REPAIR AGAIN. MY QUESTION IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET SOMEONE INVOLVED THAT CAN LOOK INTO THIS POORLY ENGINEERED ITEM. SINCERELY DANIEL KNIGHT. *AK

A MECHANIC AND THE STATE INSPECTOR INDICATED, UPON INSPECTION THAT THE TRUCK WILL FAIL INSPECTION. THE LEFT OUTER TIRE ROD AND LEFT UPPER BALL JOINTS ARE LOSE AND THE TRUCK SHOULDN'T BE DRIVEN.*AK

BRAKE PROBLEMS ON 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.ROTORS WARPED AS PER DEFECT ON CALIPERS. JEEP MADE A FIX OR I, BUT MAKES YOU PAY FOR IT. MUST CHANGE ROTORS EVERYTIME BRAKES ARE CHANGED DUE TO DEFECT. THIS ALSO AFFECTS BRAKING. THIS IS WHAT CAUSED ACCIDENT. BRAKES WILL PULSATE WHEN ROTORS WARP, AND MAKE BRAKING HARDER.*AK
