2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY.CONTACTED DEALER AND THE DEALER IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. *MR

THIS SAME SITUATION HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT APPEAR UNTIL THE 4TH INCIDENT. EACH TIME I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. I MISSED A TURN, STOPPED, PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, STOPPED AND THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE. HOWEVER, THE CAR ENGINE JUST RACED AND WHEN I PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 35 MPH. I'VE ALMOST BEEN KILLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP (JOE JACOBY) COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND NOW REFUSES TO RETURN MY CALLS. I'M NOW DRIVING ANOTHER HOUR FURTHER AWAY (2 HOURS FROM HOME) TO A DEALERSHIP THAT IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I'VE HAD IT IN...LAST TIME I PAID $700 FOR SERVICE. IF I DON'T GET THIS FIXED SOON, EVENTUALLY SOMENE WILL HIT ME AS I PULL OUT AT 35 MPH ONTO A 65 MPH HIGHWAY. UNFORTUNATELY I THINK MY PRETTY SUV IS A LEMON.*AK

CAR WAS IN PARK WITH ENGINE RUNNING WITH NO ONE IN THE CAR AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY JUMPED INTO REVERSE, BEGAN BACKING UP AND PICKING UP SPEED. THE CAR TRAVELED IN A WIDE CIRCLE CROSSING BACKWARDS ACROSS ALL LANES OF TRAFFIC. A MAN AT THE SCENE CHASED THE VEHICLE GOT THE DOOR OPEN AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CAR ULTIMATELY PICKED UP MORE SPEED, JUMPED A CURB AND CRASHED INTO A METAL FENCE. THE MAN INJURED HIS SHOULDER AS HE ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THANKFULLY THE ONLY OTHER VEHICLE AT THE SCENE WITNESSED WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND MANAGED TO ESCAPE DAMAGE OR INJURY.*AK

WE OWN A SMALL STORE AND MY HUSBAND HAD PULLED UP TO THE GA TANK TO FILL UP THE JEEP. HE GOT OUT AND PROCEEDED TO PUT GAS IN THE TANK WHEN IT SUDDENLY JUMPED INTO REVERSE AND SPED BACKWARD. THE JEEP WAS GOING AT AN EXCESSIVE SPEED AND THE DOOR WAS OPEN, IT HIT A POST AND BENT THE DOOR BACK. MY HUSBAND PROCEEDED TO JUMP INTO THE JEEP AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SKIDDED TO A STOP. MY HUSBAND PULLED SOME MUSCLES IN HIS CHEST AND BRUISED SOME RIBS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND A CONSULTANT HAS BEEN SENT OUT, BUT IN MY CALLS TO THE COMPANY I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TALK WITH ANYONE THAT CAN TELL ME WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO CALL.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 TO 40MPH, CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, CAUSING INJURIES TO OCCUPANTS OF VEHICLE.*AK. *JB

I FIRST CALLED THE DEALERSHIP; THEY REPORTED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS TYPE OF DEFEAT. THEN I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I LATER FOUND THERE IS AN INVESTAGATION ON THIS HAPPENING TO JEEPS. I DID $8,000 DAMAGE TO MY JEEP AND ANOTHER CAR. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

WHEN DRIVING BOTH FRONT POWER SEATS WOBBLE FROM SIDE TO SIDE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES. DEALER STATED IT WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE, AND THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. CONSUMER HAS FILED FOR THE LEMON LAW.*AK

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE THE ROTORS UNLESS THE CALIPERS WERE REPLACED AS WELL. *SLC

WHEN DRIVING AND APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE WILL SHAKE AND SHIMMY VERY HARD. CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE, THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND REPLACED THEM UNDER WARRANTY, THERE IS AN ODOR AND HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE A/C WHEN TURNING ON THE SYSTEM, THE DELER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED LOW IDLE WHILE IN GEAR, THE DEALER FOUND IT NECESSARY TO FLASH THE PCM, EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS LOOSE CAUSING IT TO MAKE A RATTLING NOISE.*AK *NLM

DEBRIS IS ACCUMULATING IN INTAKE MANIFOLD, AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK
