2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE CAR WILL STALL WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO. IT HAS 123000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AS WELL AS 15 MPH. IT USUALLY RESTARTS AFTER IT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND PUT IN PARK. I REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER WITH NO CHANGE IN IT'S STALLING PROBLEM. HAS BEEN SEEN BY MECHANICS, NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER. MANY FORUMS ONLINE ARE FILLED WITH SIMILAR STORIES ABOUT JEEP CHEROKEES STALLING WHILE DRIVING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL, I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS REAR ENDED ON A FREEWAY OR OTHER FAST MOVING ROAD. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. TWICE I HAVE REQUIRED A TOW BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP WITHIN A HALF HOUR.

I HAVE READ THAT !ANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME DRIVER'S SEAT ISSUE. THE HOLES FOR THE BOLTS HAS BEEN SHREDDED COMPLETELY AND THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE $3,500 TO REPAIR IT. IT'S A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE. IT UNDER THE SEAT, HOW CAN THE OWNER DESTROY THAT. 2) THE HEAD LIGHT COVERS GETS THIS DISCOLORATION OR GRIME ON THE INSIDE DECREASING THE BRIGHTNESS BY 45% AT NIGHT, THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN IN MY BRONCO. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THE RECALL # LISTED ONLINE DIDN'T MATCH THE FORMAT OF THE NUMBERS IN THEIR SYSTEM TO DO RESEARCH. WHAT? THIS IS RIDICULOUS, FIX YOUR RECALLS CHRYSLER!!!

CHRYSLER JEEP WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THE JEEP THAT IS ALREADY ON THE RECALL LIST I CALL AND THEY SAID IF I PUT A AFTER MARKET HITCH ON MY VEHICAL THAT I WOULD BE PUTTING MYSELF UP TO GET KILLED IN A LOW SPEED CAR CRASH. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO PUT A HITCH ON IT THAT THEY PUT A FACTORY HITCH ON MY VEHICAL I TOOK JEEP IN THEY REFUSED TO DO WHAT THEY SAID THEY WAS GOING TO DO AND THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME FEDERAL LIABILITY AS JEEP ALREADY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO THIS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ALL READY DEEMED IT A DEATH THREAT

WHEN THIS VEHICLE GETS UP TO 60 IT SHAKES VERY BAD UNTIL I PRESS THE BREAK. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE FRONT END SUSPENSION PARTS AND IT STOPPED FOR A FEW MONTHS AND HAS NOW STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT A POSSIBLE CRASH.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN LIT UP ON THE DASH FOR WELL OVER A YEAR NOW AND STILL BEEPING LOUDLY AT ME EVERY FEW MINUTES. I WANT TO KNOW WHY IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED AT THE THE PRICE OF 450.00 (DEALERSHIP QUOTE)? THERE IS NO REASON FOR WHY THE CLOCK SPRING SHOULD BE BROKEN AND HAVE TO BE FIXED. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON IT? WHY IS THE 2000 YEAR BEING SKIPPED OVER FOR THIS JEEP AND THE RECALLS OF IT?

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 48 TO 51 MPH, YOU CAN FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL START SHAKING SOMETIMES IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PETAL IT WILL STOP BUT MORE THAN NOT IT WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE TO WHERE ONE CAN HARDLY HANG ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. YOU HAVE TO TRY AND GET SAFELY TO SHOULDER AND STOP. THEN YOU CAN DRIVE AWAY BUT WHEN SPEEDING UP TO MERGE BACK INTO TRAFFIC IT DOES IT AGAIN. WHEN YOU JUST CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE YOU EXIT THE FREEWAY JUST TO DRIVE THE CITY STREETS TO WHERE YOU GET THE SMALL LIKE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THESE PAST 2 WEEKS IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPEING MORE OFTEN. I HAVE HAD SOME WORK DONE AS TO WHAT MY GUY THOUGHT IT COULD BE FOR IT TO NOT BE FIXED. I ALSO NOW HAVE THE ANNOYING AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON AND BEEPING WHILE TURNING ANY DIRECTION CORNER. I REALLY LIKE THE JEEP BUT I ONLY WORK PART TIME AND MY FIANCE PASSED AWAY 2 YEARS AGO BEFORE HIS PASSING HE BOUGHT THE JEEP SO I WOULD HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE JEEP BUT IT IS THE ONLY ONE I DO HAVE NOW..PARTS AND WORK DONE AS OF FEBRUARY OF 2015.....3 TIE ROD ENDS REPLACED 2 LOWER ONE UPPER ON PASSENGER SIDE, 2 NEW TIRES BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT IS WHAT WAS CAUSING IT., A REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL SEAL, A VALVE COVER GASKET, 2 SETS OF FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS COSING WELL OVER 1300.00. AND STILL HAVE THIS VIOLENT SHAKE. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A DIFFERENT VEHICLE SO PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO STOP THE SHAKING FOREVER.

THE ENGINE IS NOT COOLING CORRECTLY WHEN SITTING STILL. THE ELECTRIC FAN THAT KEEPS THE ENGINE FROM OVERHEATING DOES NOT COME ON, WHETHER SITTING OR RUNNING. GOT STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE COOL AND HAD TO DRIVE 20 MILES PER HOUR IN A 45 MILE ZONE AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE THERMOSTAT WAS CHANGED, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT, AND AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, THE ELECTRIC FAN DOES NOT COME ON AT ALL, SITTING STILL OR DRIVING.
