1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION IN WHICH VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO THE POSITION OF FUEL TANK. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

REAR DIFFERENTIAL RUINED FROM USE OF SMALLER SPARE AND DRIVEN ONLY 21 MILES AT 50MPH. UNEVEN TRACTION USING SMALLER SPARE CAUSED VEHICLE TO BE NEARLY UNSAFE AT 50MPH. A FULL SIZE SPARE SHOULD MANDATORY.

INSIDE DOOR PANELS SEPERATED FROM DOOR.THE DRIVERS SIDE IS THE WORST. ALL THE PANELS ARE NOW COMING APART.

CRACKING AND SEPERATION IS BEGINING ON THREE TIRES WITH DOT VN, FOUTH TIRE FAILED LAST YEAR. INSPECTED BY FIRESTONE, THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A DETERMINATION AS TO HOW SAFE THE TIRES WERE. THEY INFORMED THEY WERE OVER INFLATED, 30PSI. ALL I CAN GET FROM FIRESTONE IS THE RUN AROUND.( DOT NUMBER: VN TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE RECALL COMPONENT (00V-136) PRIOR TO RECALL NOTIFICATION, CONSUMER REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *MJS

WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR TO PASS ANOTHER CAR CONSUMERS VEHICLE WILL START JERKING AND SLOWING DOWN. ONCE, ANOTHER CAR WAS COMING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, AND CONSUMER CAME CLOSE TO HAVING A COLLISION. LAST YEAR, WHENEVER USING CRUISE CONTROL, AIR CONDITIONER WOULD SHUT OFF. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR KIT THROTTLE POSITION, BUT JERKING STILL EXISTS. CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. *AK

AT A STOP LIGHT THE ALUMINUM POWER STEERING PUMP BRACKET WHICH CONNECTS THE PUMP TO THE ENGINE BLOCK BROKE COMPLETELY IN HALF. THE PUMP STARTED TO BOUNCE AROUND UNDER THE HOOD WHILE THE BELT WRAPED ITSELF AROUND THE FAN. HAD I BEEN ON THE FREEWAY I WOU

DEFECTIVE REAR BRAKE ROTORS CORRODED. THERE WAS RECALL FOR FRONT ROTORS, AND THIS VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED FOR THAT RECALL. BUT, THE PROBLEM ALSO EXISTED IN THE REAR ROTORS, BUT THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

THIS PITMAN ARM ASSEMBLY FAILED AT LOW MILEAGE. CONSULTATION WITH MECHANICS INDICATED THIS AS VERY UNUSUAL AND COULD POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IF LEFT UNATTENDED.

A CRACK IN EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSED EXHAUST TO LEAK IN TO THE VEHICLE. DEALER COULD NOTT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
