HAD TO PAY MANY, W/MY OWN CASH. THIS SUV SCHOULD HAVE CAME IN 1 COLOR "LEMON YELLOW". IT IS AN ACCIDENT WATNG TO HAPPEN. THE RECENT PROBLEM IS NOW I HAVE NO A/C-HEAT OR DEFROSTER. THS IS DUE, TO FAILURE OF THE AUTOMATIC TEMP CONTROL TO WORK. I T STARTED 1ST BY INTERMITTENTLY WORKING, TILL NOW NOT WORKING AT ALL, THIS IS JUST 1 MORE, TO THE LIST , OF MANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS AN COINCIDENCE THAT ALL MY ISSUE HAVE HAPPENNED, ALMOST EXACTLY, IN THE ORDER, OF ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I CAN'T UNDESTAND HOW A COMPANY CAN GET AWAY W/THIS. THIS NEW PROBLEM CAN COST UP TO...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE REPLACED HER TRANSMISSION MODULE IN MARCH OF 2008. THE PART WAS REPLACED AGAIN IN DECEMBER OF 2008. THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY DRIVEN AND THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MODULE HAS BEGUN TO FAIL FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 184,000.

THE SOLENOID CONTINUES TO GO OUT, THREATENING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS WENT OUT TWICE WITHIN A YEAR OF REPLACEMENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO QUICKLY PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A CRASH. WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING UP AN ON-RAMP, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. BY THE TIME THE CONTACT ARRIVED TO ASSIST, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER HIMSELF BEFORE CALLING THE DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)). THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TRUCK ONE DAY WENT TO SH*T FROM 2ND INTO 3RD OR THE OVERDRIVE AND MADE A HUGE CLUNK AND JERKED THE TRUCK SEVERELY.. NOW AFTER YOU HAVE THE TRUCK WARMED UP AND ARE GOING TO HIT 3RD GEAR TRUCK WILL DO THE SAME AND THE SHIFT DOWN AGAIN RIGHT AWAY CAUSING VEHICLE TO CLUNK AND JERK HARD CONTINUOUSLY.. I MUST DRIVE WITH THE OVERDRIVE TURNED OFF AND THERE FOR RESULTING IN HIGHER RPM AT A HIGH SPEED. *NM

DT: 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE HAS 48,677 MILES CURRENTLY. AT 14,754 MILES THEY RESURFACED THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AND REPLACED THE PADS, THIS WAS ON OCTOBER 18, 2000. THEN ON JULY 15, 2002, AT 28,186 MILES THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE PADS. ON MAY 3, 2004 AT 42,123 MILES, THE ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED AND REPLACE THE PADS. ON MONDAY, JULY 11, 2005 AT 48,502 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR A LUBE JOB AND THE CONSUMER ASKED TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED BECAUSE HE FELT PULSATION IN THE BRAKE. SHE WAS TOLD THE ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND NEW PADS WOULD BE NEEDED. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THE BRAKES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSIDERED WEAR AND TEAR ITEMS AND ONLY COVERED FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER,...

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A TRANSFER CASE PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THERE WAS A LOUD CLANKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT UNDERCARRIAGE. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAD DUSTY BRAKE PADS, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. THEN, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINTS WERE LEAKING. ALSO, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE DRIVESHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CONSUMER FELT THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND PERHAPS WAS COVERING UP THE REAL PROBLEM. *AK RECALL CAMPAIGN; COMPONENT: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD AN EXTENDED CRANK BEFORE STARTING. FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND PUMP CRANK REPAIR KIT INSTALLED. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THERE IS A SHIMMY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. WHEN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT HAVING THE VEHICLE...

I WILL START BY SAYING THAT IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A VERY SCARY SITUATION WHILE OPERATING MY JEEP. THE PROBLEM THAT I'VE EXPERIENCING IS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE IT WILL NOT STOP. ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHILE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE JEEP WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL BACKWARDS WITHOUT STOPPING, THIS IS WHILE I HAVE BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE TO STOP IT. IT HAS MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO (AUGUST 3, 2004) WHILE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT WORK THE VERY SAME THING OCCURRED, THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE JEEP WAS A MEDIAN THAT WAS BEHING MY PARKING SPACE WHERE IT IS MY FEAR THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONLY REASON THE JEEP STOPPED. MY FEAR IS THAT SOMEONE MAY BE WALKING BEHIND OR SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY WILL BE BEHIND ME, AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP...

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER TRYING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 20 MINUTES IT WAS ABLE TO START. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TOT HE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. *AK

MY WIFE HAD THE CAR IN PARK, LEFT THE CAR TO CLOSE OUR GATE AND THE CAR CAME OUT OF PARK AND BACKED OVER HER. WHEN SHE GOT OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE SHE CAME INTO THE HOUSE BRUSHED AND CUT. I CALLED THE EMS AND WENT OUT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. IT STILL WAS IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. JEEP'S REP CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT IT AND HIS ANSWER WAS " THE POERATIONAL MANNAL; STATES THAT WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE YOU MUST PUT IT IN PARK TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND REMOVE THE KEYS FROM THE CAR. OK I MAY AGREE WITH THAT, BUT SHE WAS ONLY CLOSING THE GATE. WHAT MY CONCERNS IS THAT THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN . *AK

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LOREDO EXHIBITS THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS: 1) LURCH WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE ALONG WITH A NOTICEABLE 'THUMP' NOISE 2) HUMMING NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65-75 MPH) THAT GRADUATED INTO A SUDDEN 'POP' NOISE. THIS ISSUE CAUSED A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHICH I AM NOW TRYING TO DEAL WITH. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 1999 AND 2000 MODEL YEAR FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL DUE TO DIFFENTIAL SUPPLIER TO CHRYSLER OVERTORQUEING DIFFERENTIAL COMPONENTS. 3) DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK FAILURE*AK

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 48000 MILES THAT NEEDS AN $1800.00 TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL! HOW ABSURD!! AFTER CONTACTING JEEP, IT WAS MADE CLEAR TO ME THAT THEY ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBLITY IN THIS MATTER. HARD TO BELIEVE OUR AMERICAN AUTO MAKERS CAN'T DO BETTER THAN THIS.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY. ALSO THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BUT THE PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *PH

SPORADIC HARSH 1-2 SHIFT AT LOW SPEEDS OF 15-20 MPH, USUALLY SOON AFTER A COLD START OF THE ENGINE. JEEP SEEMS TO "JUMP" OR "STALL", WHICH IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATES SHORTLY AFTER EACH INCIDENT. REPROGRAMMING THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER MULTIPLE TIMES, REPLACING THE SOLONOID PACK, AND REPLACING THE CONTROL MODULE HAVE ALL FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE NEARLY 60,000 MILES DRIVEN TO DATE. REPORTED TO JEEP DEALER AT THE FOLLOWING MILEAGE INTERVALS: 9,606 MILES, 13,575 MILES, 15,113 MILES, 56,368 MILES, 56,917 MILES, 57,115 MILES, AND 58,190 MILES.

WHEN BRAKING BRAKES SQUEAKED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES EVERY 12,000 MILES. ALSO, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR INDICATOR FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. *AK

I OWN A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS RANGING FROM BRAKES TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, MOST RECENTLY THE TRANSMISSION IS BEGINNING TO LEAK FLUID. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP AND THE LOCAL DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO STEP FORWARD ON THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS 30,K MILES AND IS A 3RD VEHICLE FOR ME TO USE, SO IT DOES NOT GET A LOT OF USUAGE. AT THIS POINT I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A COMPLAINT ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, EXCEPT FOR THE LEAKING TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE TO INQUIRE AS TO THE NUMBER OF '99 JEEPS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ENCOURAGED THEM TO DO THE SAME AS I AM WITH MY FILED COMPLAINT. ALSO, JEEP HAS BEEN...

CONSUMER RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP, AND MECHANIC STATED TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT. *AKCONSUMERS MAIN COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE BRAKE/ROTORS WHICH HAVE BEEN GROUND AND REPLACED 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS. *JG

DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS, BEEN ON TSB SOFTWARE , BUT NO RECALL BUT I HAVE BEEN CONTINUED TO BE MISLEAD AND NOW, I WILL PROCEED WITH EITHER THE LEMON LAW OR ARBITRATION AT THIS POINT. FOR A VEHICLE THAT COST $33,000 YOU WOULD NOT OF EXPECTED THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS, AND WHEN THEY OCCUR CHRYSLER SHOULD OWN UP TO ITS RESPONSIBILITIES AND FIX THE ISSUES, CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN MISLEARD IN THINKING THERE GETTING A RELIABLE AND DEPENDABLE VEHICLE AND WITH THIS LAST PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTER , THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME JUSTICE AND COMPENSATION FOR WHAT I HAVE TO PAY OUT , BUT YET I CONTINUE TO PAY MY MONTHLY PAYMENTS .NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONE DIN SUMMARY. *AK

ROTORS ARE SHOT AND IT SEEMS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, 4 WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT DISENGAGE EVEN AFTER I SHIFT IT OUT OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE (LARGE POPPING NOISE WHEN IT DOES DISENGAGE). REAR WIPER WORKS SOMETIMES AND OTHERTIMES IT WON'T. NOW I'M BEING TOLD THE TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (SEAL AND SHAFT). AT 53,000 MILES THESE ITEMS SEEM RIDCULOUS. I'VE CHECKED AROUND ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS LIKE OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.

THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STALLED WITHIN ONE MONTH FROM DATE OF LEASE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHAULED; HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO SHIFT ROUGHLY. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER 2 MORE TIMES, IN WHICH THE DEALER MADE ADJUSTMENTS ONCE. THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO SHIFT ROUGHLY (I.E. THERE WAS JERKY MOTION WITH A CLUNK BETWEEN SHIFTS). THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER, IN WHICH THE DEALER INDICATED NO PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION HAS WORSEN. CURRENTLY, THERE IS LONG STALL BEFORE SHIFTING.*AK

WE HAVE HAD CONSISTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISION. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES SO FAR, AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM. MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING THIS CAR, AND SHE HAD TO DRIVE BACK FROM CHICAGO (300) MILES WITH THE SELECTOR IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO ENGAGE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS A LEASED CAR THAT IS DUE IN OCT. 2002, AND IF I COULD, I WOULD RETURN IT NOW. THIS CAR IS A MAJOR CONCERN WITH ME, AND BOTH THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER SEEM TO IMPLY THAT NOTHINGS WRONG WITH IT. *AK

CONSUMER HEARD OF A RECALL WHEN THE VEHICLE SLIPS OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE. *PH *JB

WHILE DRIVING AND UPON TRYING TO GO FROM REGULAR DRIVE TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRANSFER CASE MALFUNCTIONS AND WILL NOT GO FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. *AK CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, GOODYEAR TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN 26000 MILES, REAR AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING OIL, AND HUBS WERE WARPED. *JB

WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE INTO REVERSE FROM PARK, THE ENGINE MAKES A VERY LOUD METAL TO METAL SOUND. DEALER SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM SO THERE WAN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THE LAST TIME, THE POWER COMPLETELY FAILED ON THE VEHICLE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT. IN THAT TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THE NOISE WAS CAUSED BY THE RING AND PINION WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS THE TRANSFER CASE CHAIN BEING BAD WHICH WAS REPLACED. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS THE REAR GEARS BEING BAD WHICH WERE REPLACED. IT HAS BEEN A "TSB" WHICH WAS A BALL AND TRANSMISSION PLATE VALVE WHICH WERE REPLACED. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE AS IT WAS BAD. LASTLY, THEY REMOVED AND RECONDITIONED THE TRANSMISSION. NONE OF THESE HAVE CORRECTED MY CAR. HOWEVER, NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY TELL ME FOR APPROX. $3000 THEY WILL REPLACE THE REAR END AS IT IS BAD.

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE WHILE IN DRIVE ON UPHILL SLOPE. EVENTUALLY ENGAGES AFTER 1-4 SECONDS. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTANT. DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE TO DATE AND REFUSES TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION. I WOULD LIKE CLUTCHES REPLACED.*AK
