1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE ROTORS FAILED IN MARCH OF 2000 AND WERE REPLACED BY A DEALER AND HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED A SECOND TIME. I DID NOTE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS PUBLISHED ON THIS SAME SUBJECT. JEEP NEEDS TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT THE CORRECTION OF THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. THANK YOU. *AK

BRAKE ROTORS ARE PREMATURELY WEARING WITHIN 18,000 MILES. BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN FILED DOWN THREE TIMES. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED VEHICLE VIBRATES. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WANT TO SHIFT INTO 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SHIP 4 TIMES, THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. ALSO JUMP FROM PARK TO REVERSE RESULTING IN FRONT DRIVER DOOR BEING DAMAGED BY HITTING A CARPORT POLE. STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM TO THIS DATE.*AK

THE CAR STEERING VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY WHEN BRAKES APPLIED AT 60 MPH. CHRYSLER REPLACES THE ROTORS BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNS AFTER APPROX 4 TO 5 THOUSAND MILES. IF LEFT UN CHECKED THE VEHICLES' SAFETY IS JEAPARDIZED. ALL 1999 JEEP GAND CHEROKEE OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO (>10) INDICATE THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER MECHANICS AGREE. CHRYSLER HAS REPLACED THE ROTORS FOR CORROSION BUT THE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY RELATED TO VIBRATION SHORTENING THE LIFE OF THE ROTORS.*AK

WHILE IDLING IN PARK VEHICLE JUMPED INTO DRIVE, CAUSING A COLLISION WHICH RESULTED IN MINOR INJURIES TO OWNER.*AK

CONSUMER PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND VEHICLE JUMPED INTO REVERSE. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

MAJOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE- WOULD NOT HOLD GEAR, CHRYSLER UNABLE TO REPAIR, LEMON LAW REPURCHASE. *AK

VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK AND THE MOTOR WAS RUNNING AT LOCAL SERVICE STATION. THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND TRAVERSED THE PARKING LOT RUNNING INTO THE POST CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH REAR QUARTER PANELS AND BREAKING THE REAR WINDOW.*AK

HAD PARKED VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS RUNNING WITH EMERGENCY BRAKES ON. LEFT VEHICLE FOR FEW MINUTES AND RETURNED. VEHICLE WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS UNTIL IT HIT A MINIVAN, WHICH STOPPED IT.*AK

CONSUMER PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE STILL ON T AND WITHIN 2 MINUTES VEHICLE JUMPED INTO REVERSE, WENT ACCROSS THE HIGHWAY, RUNNING INTO A BUILDING. *AK
