1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

TRANSMISSION ALWAYS HAS A HUMMING NOISE, ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY. TRANSMISSION JERKS AND BANGS GOING INTO REVERSE. DOOR SEALS NEED TO BE STRETCHED BACK ONTO CAR FRAME. BRAKES NEED TO BE REWORKED 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR DUE TO VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING. SOMETIMES HEADLIGHTS FLICKER OFF FOR A SECOND. *LA

THE FRONT ELECTRIC WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED WORKING. I CAN STILL HEAR THE MOTOR CLICK LIKE IT IS TRYING TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. ALL OTHER WINDOWS WORK CORRECTLY. *LA

PURCHASED A JEEP GRAND CEHROKEE LAST OCTOBER. IN DECEMBER I HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS REPLACED WITHIN 1,000 MILES OF THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT, THE ROTORS WARPED AGAIN. I REPLACED THE ROTORS AGAIN IN MARCH, BY JULY THE ROTORS HAD ONCE AGAIN WARPED. THE BRAKE COMPANY WHO REPLACED THE ROTORS BOTH TIMES WITH NEW FACTORY PARTS WILL NOT AWARD THE WARANTY OF THE ROTORS. THEY SAID IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND NOT THEIR PRODUCTS. I AM FORCED TO AGAIN PAY TO HAVE THE ROTORS REPLACED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THEN A YEAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. IN ADDITION, THE CAR EXHIBITS A "STOP AND BUMP" EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED WITH THE DRIVE SHAFTS, BUT APPARENTLY EVEN REPLACING THIS PART, DOES NOT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP THIS BEHAVIOR. LASTLY, THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO SHIFT FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEARS. I DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE FIRST OF ALL THAT COSTS THIS MUCH AND SECONDLY THAT IS SO NEW. I AM EXTREMELY DISSAPPOINTED. *LA

THE FAILURE OF REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT MECHANISM HAS ALLOWED THE OCCUPANT TO HIT THE FRONT SEAT BEFORE LOCKING. *LA

THE CONSUMER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE, UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THERE WAS AN EVAPORATION LEAK, THE LEAK WAS IN A ROLL OVER VALVE WHICH WAS APART OF THE GAS TANK. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER, THAT OVER 500 GAS TANKS WERE ON BACK ORDER. *JB

ELECTRIC COOLING FAN FALURE IN MY 99 JEEP GRAND CHARROKEE WHITCH IN TURN OVER HEATED THE JEEP RUPTURED THE RADIATOR CAUSING $884 IN DAMAGES. COME TO FIND OUT NEW FANS ARE BACK ON ORDER THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS ONGOING WITH JEEPS 98-2002 IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CARFUL PICKING OUT MY NEW CAR THANKS JOHN

WHENEVER THE HEADLIGHTS WERE IN USE THE SWITCH FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY FOR EITHER TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS ON OR OFF. THE HEAD LIGHTS WOULD ALSO FLASH ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY FOR THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *NLM

I OWN A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS RANGING FROM BRAKES TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, MOST RECENTLY THE TRANSMISSION IS BEGINNING TO LEAK FLUID. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP AND THE LOCAL DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO STEP FORWARD ON THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS 30,K MILES AND IS A 3RD VEHICLE FOR ME TO USE, SO IT DOES NOT GET A LOT OF USUAGE. AT THIS POINT I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A COMPLAINT ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, EXCEPT FOR THE LEAKING TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE TO INQUIRE AS TO THE NUMBER OF '99 JEEPS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ENCOURAGED THEM TO DO THE SAME AS I AM WITH MY FILED COMPLAINT. ALSO, JEEP HAS BEEN EXTREMELY ARROGANT ABOUT THEIR RESPONSES TO "NOT ASSIST" WITH THIS MATTER.

INTERMITTENT AND ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ABS LIGHT WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. THE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR. DEALER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE ABS WIRING RUBBING THE STEERING WHEEL COMPONENT.*AK

THE THROTTLE WAS STUCK IN OPEN POSITION. *AK *PH THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE OR TURN IT OFF. *TS *JB
