AFTER YEARS OF FEW PROBLEMS, MY 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STOPPED RUNNING. THE ENGINE DIED AND COULD NOT BE RE-STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO WORKED ON IT FOR YEARS AND HE IS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE COMPUTERIZED DIAGNOSTICS SHOW THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONICS BUT THE MECHANIC CAN NOT GET IT OPERATING. *TR

THE EVAPORATOR LEAKES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN THE AC WORKS, HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ACCUMULATOR IS BAD SO IT WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL WORK SPORADICALLY, SOMETIMES IT WORKS FINE, OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, AND THE SOMETIMES IT BOUNCES AROUND, THOUGH THE SPEED CONTROL STILL WORKS EVEN WHEN SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT. THE SPEED SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THAT HAS NOT MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. THE CLOCK ON THE RADIO AS WELL AS OTHER DISPLAY ITEMS WILL SOMETIMES LIGHT UP AND OTHER TIMES NOT, LIKE THE WIRES ARE COMING LOOSE OR SOMETHING. THE REAR AXLE HOUSING IS BENT EVEN THOUGH IT HASN'T PULLED ANYTHING HEAVY AND HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN ON PAVED ROADS FOR THE 3 YEARS BEFORE. ENGINE LEAKS OIL FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AND OTHER AREAS. HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE INPUT AND OUTPUT SEALS REPLACED ON THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. *TR

MY 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4 KEEPS STALLING ALL THE TIME. ROUGH IDLE WHEN STARTED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME. ALSO, ALARM IS DEFECTIVE AND FLASHES THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND HONKS THE HORN ANYTIME ANY OF THE DOORS ARE OPENED OR CLOSED AND THE POWER LOCK BUTTON IS PUSHED TO LOCK OR UNLOCK. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOESN'T EVEN SHOW A READING AND THE FACTORY INFINITY GOLD CD RADIO TURNS ON BUT NO SOUND. MY JEEP HAS A WARRANTY ON IT RIGHT NOW AND THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2/25/06. I'VE HAD MY JEEP TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER WHERE I GOT IT, WHICH HAS ASE CERTIFIED TECHS, AND ALSO TO TWO AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERSHIPS WITH NO RESOLUTION TO ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS AND TO DATE HAVE BEEN CHARGED OVER $450.00 BETWEEN THE THREE DEALERSHIPS. I HAVE SENT NOW TWO E-MAILS TO THE CHRYSLER GROUP CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THE FIRST E-MAIL I RECEIVED BACK BROUGHT UP TWO RECALLS: #747 DISC BRAKE ROTORS #B02 FLOOR SHIFTER SECONDARY SYSTEM AND THE SECOND E-MAIL I GOT BACK FROM CHRYSLER STILL HAD NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE STALLING AND/OR ROUGH IDLE. THIS IS ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE AS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW BECAUSE OF DANGER TO ME OR OTHERS IF IT WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING, THE FINANCIAL DRAIN AND THE SHEER UNRELIABILITY. I WOULD LIKE A RESOLUTION TO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD DEVELOPED 1-INCH CRACK AT MAIN STEM. VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN ENGINE WAS RUNNING. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT A NEW MANIFOLD WOULD COST $1000 FOR PARTS & LABOR. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO FIND A USED MANIFOLD AND WAS ONLY CHARGED $300 TO HAVE IT INSTALLED WITH A NEW GASKET. I DID NOT USE THIS VEHICLE OFF-ROAD AND I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THE WRONG METAL WAS USED TO DESIGN THIS MANIFOLD. TS

EXHAUST SYSTEM LEAKING, DEALER REPLACED MUFFLER AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD. NLM

EXHAUST MANIFOLD WELD AND SEAMS TO ENGINE HAVE AND ARE FAILING. EXHAUST LEAKS AND MAKES LOUD NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AREA. I CONTACTED DAIMLER/CHRYSLER ABOUT PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY BULLETINS ORE RECALLS FOR THIS VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS REPAIR. CURRENTLY THERE ARE 4 OFFICIAL COMPLAINTS ON FILE WITH NHTSA WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ACTION HAVING BEEN TAKEN.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED WELD. DOOR PINS WORN OR BROKEN CAUSING DOOR TO HAVE EXTREME SAG WHEN OPENED. *AK

EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AT THE WELD SEAM WHERE THE TWO EXHAUST DUCTS JOIN INTO A SINGLE PIPE AND JUST BEFORE THE ELBOW CONNECT BETWEEN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THE EXHAUST PIPE, THE MANIFOLD DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE NATURAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION OF THE METAL, THE NEW MODELS HAVE A REDESIGNED MANIFOLD REENGINEERED NOT TO CRACK FROM NATURAL THERMAL STRESS. ALL DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS REPLACED DUE TO GROWLING SOUND. MOTOR MOUNT REPLACED. *SLC

ENGINE MOUNTS HAVE PREMATURELY WORN WHICH HAS CAUSED SEVERE VIBRATION IN FRONT END OF VEHICLE. *AK CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR RECALL AND ALSO INFORMED DEALER OF A LOUD CLUNK SOUND WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO DIFFERENT GEARS AND OF A FLUID LEAK AROUND THE TRANSMISSION, DEALER STATED TRANSFER CASE SEALS NEEDED REPLACED AND MAIN CRANK SEAL NEEDED REPLACED, TECH ALSO INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE TORN LOOSE, CONSUMER SEEMED CONCERNED BECAUSE VEHICLE HAD NEVER BEEN TAKEN OFF ROAD. *SLC

THIS CRACK IS PERVASIVE WITH 91-97 JEEPS. ALL DEALERSHIP AND PRIVATE-LABEL MECHANICS ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. JEEP IS AWARE OF IT BECAUSE IN SEVERAL STATES (INCL. CA) THEY INCREASED THE WARRATNY TO 80,000 MILES FOR THE EXHAUST, AND BEGINNING WITH 97 JEEP MODELS, BEGAN USING BETTER QUALITY MATERIALS FOR THE EXHAUST. THE PROBLEM IS FRACTURE CRACKS CAUSED BY UNEVEN CONTRACTION/EXPANSION DUE TO HEAT/COLD. THE PROCESS IS UNEVEN BECAUSE THE METAL USED FOR THE EXHAUST IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE QUALITY. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN INHERENT DEFECT AND THUS IS A BREACH OF JEEP'S IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHATABILITY FOR JEEP. CONSEQUENTLY, I'M ASKING NHTSA'S ASSISTANCE IN FORCING JEEP TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. THE REPAIRS COST ABOUT $1,000 AT THE JEEP DEALERS. *AK

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH LOSS OF POWER. VEHICLE BEEN TO DEALER SHOP, AND REPLACED BATTERY ONCE, AND THE PROBLEM STILL REOCCURRING. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FUTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK

DATING BACK TO 2 YEARS AGO, I HAD A JEEP DEALER CHECK THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR A "FLUTTERY" NOISE, WHICH I THOUGHT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXHAUST LEAK. IT WAS CHECKED AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY. FOUR MONTHS LATER I TOOK THE JEEP BACK DUE THE PROBLEM NEVER HAVING BEEN FIXED. THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT AND TIGHTENED THE EXHAUST CLAMPS. THIS MADE NO DIFFERENCE, BUT I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND TOOK THE FLUTTERY NOISE AS THE "NORMAL" ENGINE/EXHAUST NOISE JEEP MAKES. RECENTLY I TOOK MY JEEP TO HAVE VARIOUS FLUID LEAKS REPAIRED ($500 WORTH) AT MY COST, AT WHICH TIME THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED AND WOULD COST $1,000 (EST.) TO REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT NO WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT AND SINCE I HAD CLOSE TO 90,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE I DIDN'T HAVE OPTIONS TO HAVE JEEP TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE NOISE I HAVE BEEN HEARING ALL ALONG HAS BEEN A CRACKED MANIFOLD, SO THE PROBLEM FIRST MANIFESTED ITSELF WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD 52,000 MILES. THIS JUST DOES NOT SEEM WHAT ONE SHOULD EXPECT FROM A VEHICLE AT 52,000 MILES. I AM LOOKING TO FIND OUT IF THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND WHAT MY RECOURSE OPTIONS ARE. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

CASE AND ALL INTERNAL PARTS; SEALS AND GASKETS ARE COVERED HAVE A ADDED CARE SERVICE CONTRACT 7/100 . UNDER TRANSMISSION IT IS CLEARLY WRITTEN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY VEHICLE WOULD START TO BUCK. SPEED PLAYED NO FACTOR. THEN VEHICLE WOULD DIE OUT AFTER TRYING TO EXIT A RAMP. WOULD HAVE NO OTHER WARNING, EXCEPT BUCKING WHEN IT WOULD STALL OUT. HAD NOT TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER TO CHECK. *AK

WHEN VEHICLE WENT IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, DEALER STATED 3 ENGINE MOUNTS AND THE TRANMISSION MOUNTS HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. ONE ENGINE MOUNT HAD BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY ON 8/5/97. IT APPEARS THAT THESE PARTS FAILED DUE TO A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT. THIS IS NOT AN ITEM THAT SHOULD FAIL ON A VEHICLE THAT IS JUST OVER FIVE YEARS OLD AND HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD. WHEN THE DEALER WAS QUESTIONED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS POORLY DESIGNED AND TENDS TO GO OUT ABOUT THIS TIME. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PARTS. THIS IS A MAJOR RIP-OFF ON A PART THAT IS FAILING PREMATURELY BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURING FLAWS.

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT WILL JERK SUDDENLY MAKING THE ENGINE QUIT OR GO EVVVEN WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE.I USE THIS VEHICLE FOR FAMILY OUTINGS AND I'M CONCERN WITH THIS PROBLEMS. GRAND CHEROKEE ARE VERY PRICEY WHEN NEW AND I FEEL THAT THIS JEEP HAS NOT IMPRESSED ME ANY WITH THE WORKMANSHIP OR QUALITY. THE DESIGNER FOR THIS VEHICLE MUST HAVE BEEN THE SAME ONE FOR YUGO. THANK YOU P.S. THE MOTOR ITSELF IS TOO NOISY FOR THIS LUXURIOUS SUV, SHOULD BE IN A MACK TRUCK.

THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE MAY BE THE CAUSE OF MULTIPLE FAILURES. *YC

VEHICLE PURCHASED WITH APPROXIMATELY 39800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS FAILURE OF THE WATER PUMP AT 55000 MILES SEEMS VERY PREMATURE. MECHANIC AT GARAGE WHERE REPAIR WAS MADE REMARKED THAT HE HAD SEEN SEVERAL FAILURES OF WATER PUMPS IN CHRYSLER PRODUCTS RECENTLY. WHILE NOT DIRECTLY A SAFETY PROBLEM, THERE COULD BE MORE OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE AS VEHICLES FROM THIS MODEL YEAR REACH THE 50000 TO 65000 MILEAGE REGION. *AK
