1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I STOPPED VEHICLE AND PUT GEAR IN PARK. I EXITED VEHICLE AND WAS OUTSIDE VEHICLE WHEN, APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE LATER, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JUMPED INTO REVERSE, ROLLED BACKWARDS & HIT A SMALL TREE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO VEHICLE AND STOP IT.*AK

THE BRAKE ROTORS ON THIS MAKE OF CAR DO NOT LAST MORE THAN ONE YEAR BEFORE BEING TO FAIL. *AK

AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH ENGINE SURGING AND CAUSING SUDDEN ACCELERATION. VEHICLE BEEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

FRONT END WOBBLES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT HIGH SPEEDS. ROTORS WERE RESURFACED, AND NEW FRONT DISC BRAKES WERE PUT ON. BUT, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. DEALER IS AWARE. *AK.*MJ

ALL OF THE WINDOWS IN THIS JEEP HAVE STOPPED WORKING OVER TIME. THE FIRST TIME WAS JAN. 27, 2000 (SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE) RHT FRONT WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND REGULATOR WAS REPLACED. ON APRIL 28, 2000 THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND REGULATOR REPLACED. ON OCTOBER 6, 2000 THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AND THE REGULATOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN. ON JUNE 26, 2001 THE DRIVER FRONT WINDOW AND THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND THE REGULATORS WERE REPLACED. FINALLY ON JUNE 4, 2002 THE DRIVERS REAR WINDOW HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WANTS TO CHARGE TO $217.00 TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR. THE JEEP WAS COVERED ON THE OTHER PREVIOUS INSTANCES. I FEEL THAT THERE IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY ALL OF THE WINDOWS WILL FAIL ON IT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER INCIDENCE.*AK

VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 7 HOURS WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE DRIFTING BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL CRASHING INTO A PILE OF ROCKS. VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. NO INJURIES. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED. *TT

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT 45-55 MPH, VEHICLE SHAKES AND WANDERS. FRONT ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED 6 TIMES AND REPLACED ONCE SINCE PURCHASE AT 14000 MILES.*AKTHIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. CONSUMER HAS ASKED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. ON TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS, CONSUMER ALMOST LOST STEERING CONTROL DUE TO THE BRAKING PROBLEM. *JG

WHEN BRAKING THERE IS SOME PULSATING AND SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. AT 37,200 ROTORS, CALIPERS/ AND PADS NEED REPLACING. *AK *YH

THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN 180 DEGREES AND CRUSHED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAUSE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A BROKEN CLIP THAT HOLDS REAR AXLE IN PLACE. LEFT REAR AXLE, BEARING AND SEAL WERE REPLACED. THE CLIPPER MOUNTING BRACKET WAS REPLACED. *YH
