1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

FRONT DIFFERENTIALS AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIALS AND PROPELLAR SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED, NOW EXPERIENCING LOTS OF STALLING AND ENGINE WOULD DIE WHENEVER COMING TO A STOP, SOMETIME IT SEEMS TO LUNGE FORWARD AND JUST DIE, INSTALLED NEW TRANSMISSION

VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD IN REVERSE. DEALER TOOK 6 MONTHS TO FIND A REMEDY. DEALER HAS NO REMEDY FOR VEHICLE POTINTIALLY GOING IN REVERSE. PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED. *AK

PE 01 021/INADVERTENT ROLLAWAY IN REVERSE: WHILE PARKED AND IDLING IN A BANK DRIVE, AND WHILE CONSUMER WAS GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE TO PICK UP SOME PAPER WITH THE DOOR STILL OPEN, VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR INTO REVERSE. DOOR STRUCK ONE OF THE METAL POLES AND DAMAGED DRIVER'S DOOR. *AK *SLC

THE CARD HAS SEVERE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, ERATIC SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. *AK

BRAKE ROTORS SEVERELY WARPED WITHOUT ANY HARD USE OR TOWING. COMMON AND RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. AFFECTS SAFETY IN STOPPING, ESPECIALLY WITH ABS. NEW ROTORS ARE GOOD FOR ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THERE IS A SERIOUS PART/DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THESE BRAKES. IRONIC SINCE JEEP TOUTED THE BRAKES AS THE BEST IN CLASS IN ADVERTISING. CHYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ACT ON THIS WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM. I AM UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A BRAND OF ROTORS THAT WILL STAND UP TO THE VEHICLE DEMANDS WITHOUT WARPING. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THESE BRAKES AFTER A FIX HAS BEEN DEVISED.*AK

ALL DASH GUAGES SPIN AROUND, TACHOMETER IS INOPERATIVE AND SPEEDOMETER IS BLANK.*JB

VEHICLE WAS IDLING IN PARK, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN VEHICLE BEGAN MOVING BACKWARDS, VEHICLEL JUMPED OUT OF PARKED AND INTO REVERSE, VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED ALONG WITH CONSUMERS SECOND VEHICLE.*YH

VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN DEALER'S REPAIR SHOP 5 TIMES FOR BRAKE FAILURE. ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT 36,000 MILES/ 48,000 MILES, AND NEW ROTORS WERE PUT ON. AT 55,000 MILES /68,000 MILES/ 72,00 MILES ROTORS WERE TURNED AGAIN. HOWEVER, ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. VEHICLE HAS NO PROBLEM STOPPING. MANUFACTURER DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES, BUT THIS DID NOT STOP VEHICLE. CONSUMER KEPT PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL TO FLOOR, AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS, VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. MILEAGE WAS 3000. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON 4 AUG 2001 WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 5 MPH IN A PARKING GARAGE, VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHILE IN REVERSE. APPLIED BRAKES, BUT THERE WAS NO BRAKING ACTION. VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. DAMAGE TO JEEP WAS $5700.00, DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. BOTH TIMES, NO INJURIES.*AK *SLC

CONSUMER HAD PARKED VEHICLE AND LEFT IT IN PARK, THEN CONSUMER GOT OUT OF VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE AND RAN INTO CONSUMER'S GATE BEFORE STOPPING. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK*JB
