1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

VEHICLE SHIFT GEARS BY ITSELF. VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK GEAR AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, 6CYL. MILEAGE 78000. DURING REFUELING, FUEL WOULD NOT ENTER GAS TANK. AFTER HAVING ONE DEALER LOOK AND STATE IT NEEDED GAS FILLER TUBE WHICH WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. I MANAGE TO GET GAS IN CAR AND GET HOME FROM 200 MILES AWAY. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE VEHICLE I NOTICE GAS LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. TOOK TO LOCAL DLR, THEY HAD TO REPLACE FUEL LINE TO GAS TANK AND FILLER TUBE. THIS WAS A $470.00 REPAIR. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK SYSTEM ON THIS JEEP. THIS IS A VARY SERIOUS SITUATION DUE TO FUMES GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER AREA AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE FROM LEAKING FUEL RUNNING UNDERNEATH THE CAR. TWO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR IS THE TRANSFER CASE LEAKS DUE TO A BAD O-RING(THIS IS A 10 CENT PART THAT COST $500.00 TO REPLACE BECAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE HAS TO BE TAKEN APART), FRONT WHEEL BEARING GOING BAD @ 78000 MILES, REPLACEMENT COST $400.00. TS

I HAVE A 99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 34,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHEN I USE THE BRAKES. I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS HAD TO BE TURNED WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THE FIRST TIME (19,000 MILES). I JUST BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN TODAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT CHRYSLER CAME OUT WITH A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ROTORS, BUT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS BS. I'M A MECHANIC IN THE AIR FORCE AND THIS IS A BIG TIME SAFETY ISSUE. IF LEFT UNCORRECTED THIS MAY EVENTUALLY CAUSE BREAK FAILURE. TS

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF CAUSING CONSUMER TO PULL OVER. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WITH LEFT TURN OF VEHICLE. THE DEALER CAN NOT EASILY FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSES THIS. OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS.

4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILURE ON SNOWY INCLINE VEHICLE CAME OUT OF 4 WHEEL LOW , LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND VEHICLE SLID BACKWARDS AT LEAST 75 TO 100 FT. INTO AN EMBANKMENT. PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE, I WAS COMING UP SNOWY DRIVEWAY THE NIGHT BEFORE AND HAD VEHICLE IN 4 WHEEL LOW AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT MAKE IT UP HILL AND SLID BACKWARDS ON ME, AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO MY DRIVING HOWEVER THE NEXT DAY IT OCCURRED AGAIN AND REALIZED THAT VEHICLE HAD KICKED OUT OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND ONLY REAR WHEELS WORKING. PREMATURE WEARING OF FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS CAUSING VEHICLE TO VIBRATE, SHIMMY AND SQUEAL WHEN APPLING BRAKES. DT

THE CONSUMER PLACED THE SHIFTER IN PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH IT STILL RUNNING. ONCE THE CONSUMER STEPPED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE SHE HEARD A POP THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND HIT A DUMPSTER. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS DAMAGED AND THE REAR HATCH WINDOW SHATTERED. *TS *NLM

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT. THE FASTER THE VEHICLE IS GOING THE MORE IT WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT. DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX PROBLEM. TS

CONSUMER STATES THAT STEERING PULLS TO LEFT WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER ALSO ADVISED THAT STEERING PULLS "DRAMATICALLY" TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. DEALER HAS REPLACED/REPAIRED SEVERAL COMPONENTS INCLUDING TIRES, STEERING GEAR BOX AND 3 ALIGNMENTS. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. TS

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHIMMYS, ALSO WHEN SLOWING DOWN. TOOK VEHICLE TO JEEP AND THEY REPLACED ROTORS AND CALIPERS. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WAS STILL OCCURING. THE DEALER IS NOW REPLACING THE BEARINGS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. TS
