1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

DRIVER HAD THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THIS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS

CAR WAS MAKING A LOW PITCHED GRUNTING NOISE, AND SLOW ON ACCELERATION, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAD A HOLE IN IT. CAUSED BY THE CHAIN IN THE TRANSFER CASE BECOMING LOOSE AND RUBBING AGAINST THE CASE.

MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH 4.7 LITER V8 HAS A NASTY WHITE FOAM WHERE I FILL THE OIL. LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF EMULSIFICATION. MAYBE WATER IN MY OIL. I CHANGED THE OIL THIS WEEKEND WHEN IT WAS 2 DEGREES OUT AND THE WHITE FOAM WAS FROZEN IN CHUNKS WHICH THEN FELL DOWN THE TUBE. IS THERE A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD SIMILAR PROBLEMS FROM OTHERS WITH THE 4.7 LITER. HOW CAN I GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED BY JEEP?

THE CONSUMER STARTED THE VEHICLE FROM THE PARK POSITION AND PLACED IN REVERSE, WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE HAD TAKEN OFF OUT OF CONTROL, HITTING OTHER VEHICLES. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. SCC

THE WIND GUST FROM AN ONCOMING SEMI CAUSED THE HOOD ON MY 99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TO POP OPEN. THE SECONDARY LATCH HELD THANKFULLY

WHILE DRIVING AT 45-50 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT,STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIED, AND SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPERS HAD LOCKED UP AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CALIPERS,ROTOR,PADS ETC,. PROBLEM RECURRED. *NLM

WE ARE IN A DISUPUTE WITH DIALMERCHRYSLER REGARDING A ENGINE REPAIR WITH OUR 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. ON DEC. 23, 2002 WE BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE A ROCKER ARM SPRING BROKE CAUSING A ROD TO BREAK THROUGH THE VALVE COVER AND DROP DOWN INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING $1600 IN DAMAGE. THE JEEP HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT AND IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WE PURCHASED THE JEEP IN FEB. 2002 AND SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS, A LEAKING SEALS AND NOW THE ENGINE PROBLEM. WHEN WE APPROACHED CHRYSLER ABOUT POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR BILL, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS HISTORY OF ENGING PROBLEMS AND WE DID NOT PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO THEY WOULD NOT HELP US. OUR POINT IS THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DOUBTFUL THAT THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM (NOR SHOULD IT HAVE THIS PROBLEM) WITH SUCH LOW MILES. ALSO, WE WERE NEVER OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AT TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE SALESMAN HE STATED THAT COST WAS AN ISSUE WHEN BUYING THE JEEP SO HE DIDN'T WANT THE PRICE TO BE ANY HIGHER. ISN'T COST ALWAYS THE ISSUE WHEN BUYING A NEW CAR AND SHOULDN'T WE HAVE BEEN OFFERED A CHANCE TO PURCHASE THE WARRANTY? WE FEEL THAT A $6 SPRING SHOULDN'T CAUSE $1600 TO AN ENGINE ANYHOW. IS THERE ANY WAY YOU COULD BE OF HELP TO US?

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE RECALL PART. DEALER HAS THE PART AND DIDN'T CALL THE CONSUMER. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

WHILE DRIVING,VEHICLE WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS, VEHICLE WILL STICK IN GEAR. THE DEALERS INDICATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS SHUT AND NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS
