1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

COMPLETE BRAKE LOSS WHILE APPLYING BRAKES AT 35 MPH CAUSED REAR END COLLISION. DEALER/MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAIL AT THIS TIME. *AK

ONE WEEK PRIOR TO RECIEVING RECALL NOTICE 00V-136 THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE REPLACED, CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT. NLM

VEHICLE HAD FIVE FUEL PUMPS REPLACED, 3 BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, AND 2 BY DEALER. ALL PARTS WERE FROM THE DEALER AUTO PARTS. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT PROBLEM MAY HAV E OCCURRED FROM CONTAMINATION IN FUEL TANK WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK

IN ORDER FOR THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE TO BE EQUIPPED WITH DESIRED OPTIONS THE DEALER SOURCED THE VEHICLE FROM CANADA, CONSUMER RECIEVED RECALL NOTICE 00V-136 FOR FAULTY ROTORS AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT, THE SERVICE DEPT LOGGED THE VEHICLE IN BUT THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT PERFORM WORK BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS COMING UP AS BEING REGISTER IN KILOMETERS INSTEAD OF MILES, THE CONSUMER STATED THE THE VEHICLE WAS CHANGED OVER TO MILES BEFORE HE TOOK DELIVERY BUT DEALER STILL REFUSED REPAIR VEHICLE BECAUSE THE CHANGE WAS NOT RECORDED WITH CHRYSLER BY THE DEALER. NLM

VEHICLE SOMETIMES WON'T START, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL START. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND CAUSE OF PROBLEM. TOOK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE CHANGED IGNITION WIRES, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

VINYL DOOR PANEL BEGAN TO PEEL AWAY FROM DOOR BOLSTER ON BOTH FRONT DOORS AS WELL AS RIGHT REAR DOOR. *AK

WHILE DRIVING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON, IF CONSUMER MOVES OR TILTS STEERING WHEEL, HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. *AK THE TILT STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM IS DUE TO DEFECTIVE DESIGN BY MANUFACTURER. WHEN THE WHEEL WAS TILTED TO THE MAXIMUM, THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH CONNECTOR BECOME UNPLUGED. *YH

SINCE THE BRAKE DISC ROTOR WAS RECALLED ON MY CAR I WONDERED WHETHER ANY OTHER OWNERS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE RUSTING OF FRONT AXLE JOINTS AND CALIPERS HANGING UP. THANK YOU!*AK

HAD PROBLEM WITH FUEL PUMP FAILING DUE TO FAULTY FUEL TANK...BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE VEHCILES LOSE FUEL TO ENGINE AND VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN(OFF) NO POWER...IF ON A HIGHWAY VEHICLE COULD SHUT DOWN AND DRIVER AND PASSENGERS ARE IN DANGER.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAN ABOUT ONE MINUTE LATER I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A CHEVY BLAZER. I HAD MY SEAT BELT AND SHOULDER HARNESS ON BUT THE TOP ROLLER ON THE SHOULDER HARNESS DID NOT GRAB. FOR THAT REASON MY HEAD HIT FIRST THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEN THE WINDSHIELD, LEAVING ME WITH A FRACTURED NOSE AND CONTUSION ON MY FOREHEAD. I BELIEVE THE BLAZER MUST HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AROUND 45 MPH BECAUSE THAT IS THE SPEED LIMIT ON THAT ROAD AND HE DID NOT TRY AND STOP AT ALL (COMPLETE INATTENTION): THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS UNTIL AFTER WHERE HE HIT US. WE WERE SENT CLEAR THROUGHT THE INTERSECTION AND UP THE SIDEWALK. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CROSS TRAFFIC OR PEDESTRIANS. *AK
