1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

CONSUMER COULD NOT UNLATCH REAR SEAT BELT. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED CONSUMER TO GET HURT. CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A SCREECHING SOUND, VEHICLE JUST STARTED TO STALL. WHEN DRIVER PULLED OVER, TRANSMISSION QUIT. DRIVER PLACED CAR IN PARK, STEPPED OUT, AND VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS DUE TO TRANSFER CASE LOCKING UP. DEALER SAID TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

PROBLEM 1)THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAD TO BE TURNED @ 14,000 MILES AND AGAIN AROUND 22,000 MILES. THEY ARE VIBRATING WITH EACH BRAKING AGAIN @ 39,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 25 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE. AUTOPARK TRIED TO MAKE IT APPEAR THAT SOMEONE WAS "RIDING" THE BRAKES. AUTOPARK TOLD US THEY WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY @ 22,000 MILES ALTHOUGH WE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING IN OUR WARRANTY BOOK STATING THAT. THE AUTOPARK MECHANIC HAD TO GO TO HIS SHOP WARRANTY MANUAL ON PAGE 300 AND SOMETHING TO FIND THE SMALL PRINT. AGAIN, IT IS NOT IN OUR WARRANTY INFORMATION. WE BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. PROBLEM 2) I HAD BEEN SMELLING GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THE VEHICLE IS SLOW TO START MOST OF THE TIME. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND STAY RUNNING ON JUNE 3, 2002. UPON THE 2ND ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE, I SMELLED GAS, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND GAS POURED OUT OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS, POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BECAUSE THE GAS CONTINUED TO LEAK FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THE JEEP CONTINUES TO BE SLOW TO START W/39,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LINE COMING OFF IS MORE SERIOUS THAN AUTOPARK RELAYED. IF I HAD BEEN ANYWHERE OTHER THAN MY OWN GARAGE AND SOMEONE THREW DOWN A LIT CIGARETTE OR A MATCH, I WOULD NOT BE HERE TO SEND THIS EMAIL TO YOU TODAY.*AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

VIBRATION IN VEHICLE WHEN BRAKING. ROTORS WERE REPLACED, THEN TURNED. AT THIS TIME, THERE IS VIBRATION AGAIN WHEN BRAKING. *AK

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE MADE AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A U-TURN. CONSUMER TRIED TO AVOID HITTING OTHER DRIVER BY VEERING TO THE LEFT, HOWEVER CONSUMER HIT THE OTHER DRIVER HEAD ON. CONSUMER WAS WEARING SEATBELT BUT, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TT

VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE SEVERELY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT 35-40 MPH, AND MORE SEVERELY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON ELEVEN OCCASIONS, AND THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRING. *AK THE ENGINE MAKES NOISE. THERE WAS A CLUNK NOISE FROM DRIVE LINE TO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HOLD IN PARK. CONSUMER STATED THAT BOTH INNER AND OUTER TIE ROD FAILED AND WERE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING AT 85 MPH THE VEHICLE MAKES A GROWLING NOISE. TRANSMISSION MAKES CLUNKING NOISE WHEN PUTTING IN GEAR. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES WHILE GOING OVER PUMPS DUE TO FRONT BRAKE ROTORS FAILURE, ALSO THE STEERING SHOCK WAS REPLACED. *YH
