2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

FIRST: I HAD PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH APPROX. 110,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKES ON MODERATE TO HEAVY BRAKING AS WELL AS MODERATE SHAKING UPON DECELERATION ON HIGHWAY SURFACES AS WELL AS INTERMENT CLUNKING FROM FRONTAL SUSPENSION AREA UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS. THE STEERING WHEEL MAY BE POINTED STRAIGHT AHEAD OR AT A SLIGHT LEFT OR RIGHT POSITION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE SHAKING, UNDER THE ABOVE CONDITIONS, IS VERY SLIGHT OR NONEXISTENT AT ALL. I BELIEVE IT IS IN THE FRONT STEERING LINKAGE/SUSPENSION AND NOT THE BRAKES. I HAVE PERSONALLY INSPECTED THE COMPONENTS MENTIONED ABOVE AS I HAVE MOPAR EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST AS A TECHNICIAN. I HAVE ALSO HAD A SECOND OPINION FROM AN INDEPENDENT TECHNICIAN WELL VERSED IN JEEP TECHNOLOGY. SECOND; I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PRESSURE BEING ERRATIC WHEN WARMED UP AND EITHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. I HAVE REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT AND PERFORMED MOPAR DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CLUSTER AS MENTIONED IN THE SHOP MANUAL TO NO AVAIL ON THIS 4.0L ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.THE GAUGE READS WELL WHEN COLD BUT WHEN WARMED UP IT WILL DROP TO ZERO WITH THE GAUGE ALARM WARNING ME OF THE ACTION. THEN MOVING ERRATICALLY BETWEEN THE 40LB MARKER AND ZERO PRESSURE WHILE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. I AND A FEW TECHNICIANS ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY DETERMINING WHERE THE PROBLEM IS GENERATED. ON A NOTE, THERE IS A SLIGHT CONSISTENT TICKING NOISE SUCH AS A VALVE LIFTER OR ROCKER ARM COMING FROM THE ENGINE, WARM OR COLD, STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. IT OCCURRED WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND IS STILL OCCURRING TODAY. THANK YOU FOR ANY CONSIDERATION THAT YOU MAY PROVIDE TO ME AS THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I AM HANDICAPPED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE PARKING THE JEEP ALONG THE STREET IN BETWEEN OUR OTHER 2 VEHICLES IT TOOK OFF AT FULL SPEED IN REVERSE CRASHING INTO OUR TRUCK THEN TOOK OFF FULL SPEED FORWARD AND CRASHED OUR CAR THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS THE JEEP WAS A TOTAL LOSS.THE JEEP WAS IDLING AND WENT TO FULL THROTTLE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE PEDAL AND WAS ALSO NOT IN GEAR

TAKATA AIR BAG AND FUEL TANK EXPLOSION ON IMPACT. AS OF THE DATE OF THIS REPORT, I DID NOT RECEIVED ANY DOCUMENT FROM CHRYSLER CONCERNING THESES 2 SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY JEEP. WE ARE LOCATED IN SOUTH FLORIDA. I'VE CALL SOME CHRYSLER DEALER IN MY AREA, AND THEY SAY THAT THERE ARE NO RECALL FOR MY CAR CONCERNING THESES TWO SAFETY ISSUE. NOTHING HAS HAPPEN SO FAR, BUT I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE PLAYING THE ODD THAT NOTING WILL HAPPEN TO THE LIFE OF MY WIFE,MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP IN FLORIDA. I WILL APPRECIATE RECEIVING ANY INPUT FROM THE NHTSA IN THAT MATTER, AND ALSO A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER TO FIX THE TWO SAFETY ISSUE. THE SOONEST WILL THE BEST.

WE COULD IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE N47 RECALL AND IT WAS THERE FOR 24 HOURS AND THEY SAID IT DOESN'T NEED A HITCH IT DOESN'T NEED ANY PROTECTION FOR THE FUEL TANK. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AND THIS RECALL IS A WASTE OF MY TIME AND THE CAR CAN STILL BLOW UP IN A REAR END CRASH,
