TAKATA RECALL WHEN I ENGAGE HIGH BEAMS OR TURN ON MY RIGHT BLINKER MY HAZARDS FLASH QUICKLY IN THE BACK ONLY. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. HAVE HAD MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKE POWER. THE DEALER (CUETER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM IN YPSILANTI, MICHIGAN) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,138.

I WENT TO A LOCAL DEALER SHIP BECAUSE I HAD LOOKED UP ON THIS SITE MY RECALLS ONE WAS BRAKES THEY DID HAPPILY AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN FOR THE FUEL IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND IT'S A 1997 HOW CAN THEY NOT GET THE PARTS TO FIX IT YET I RAN OUT OF GAS A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES ON BUSY HIGHWAYS AND ON MY WAY TO WORK WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I NEED MY CAR THE MOST

VEHICLE HAS HARD STARTS AND FREQUENT HESITATION AND STALLING, AT ALL SPEEDS CITY STREET DRIVING AS WELL AS HIGHWAY DRIVING. I HAVE HAD A NEW DISTRIBUTOR CAP, ROTOR, PLUGS, WIRES, COIL, INSTALLED, YET SYMPTOMS PERSIST. SUDDEN DECELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. MY RESEARCH SUGGESTS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE XJ. I NARROWLY ESCAPED A CRASH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. JEEP OUGHT TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, YET THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REMEDY FOR OWNERS. I WOULD AT LEAST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. POSSIBLE REMEDIES (FROM MY RESEARCH) INCLUDE MULTIPLE PARTS AND MANY HOURS OF LABOR: O2 SENSOR, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, PLUGS, WIRES, CAP, ROTOR, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, ALTERNATOR, NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH, BALLAST RESISTOR, TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, TORQUE CONVERTOR, POWER CONTROL MODULE, TRANSMISSION CONTROL SOLENOID, ETC. WHAT IS CAUSING ALL OF THESE VEHICLES TO STALL DANGEROUSLY?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I HAVE A 1997 JEEP WITH 150,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES WITH IT STALLING OUT FOR NO REASON. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR. IT STARTED ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF THE BLUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP OVER 20 TIMES TO TRY AND GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE EVEN KEPT IT OVER NIGHT AND HAD IT ON MACHINES TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT STALLS AND AM NOT ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. I HAVE REPLACE SENSORS, FUEL FILTER, BATTERY, NOT TO MENTION SO MANY OTHER PARTS AND NOTHING IS STOPPING IT FROM STALLING OUT FOR NO REASON. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY AND I LOVE MY JEEP BUT I AM REAL NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT THAT I MIGHT GO TO TURN AND THE JEEP WILL STALL WHILE TURNING A CORNER AND GET T-BONED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. OR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL SPUTTER AND STALL OUT. I HAVE READ THAT "MANY" JEEPS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FROM THE SAFETY CAR SITE LOOK INTO THIS AS THERE WILL BE A FAMILY IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE DRIVING AND THE PROBLEM COULD OCCURE AND CAUSE A DIASTER IN SOMEONES LIFE. I HAVE DRIVEN IN DIFFERANT ARES ON THE ROAD, HIGHWAY, RESIDENTIAL AREAS, GOING THE SPEED LIMIT, AND ALSO GOING 15 MILES AN HOUR AND IT WIL STALL OUT. I HAVE AGAIN SEEN SO MANY POSTING REGARDING THIS ISSUE SO THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOME KIND OF A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THESE JEEPS ...PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

IN RESPONSE TO THE LATEST ON THE RECALL OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND JEEP LIBERTIES, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A FULL REVIEW OF THE 1993 - 2001 JEEP CHEROKEES REAR IMPACT SAFETY. IN NHTSA'S INITIAL REQUEST TO CHRYSLER, THIS GROUP OF CHEROKEES WAS INCLUDED AS A SUBJECT VEHICLE, NOTING YOU HAD ONLY RECEIVED 15 VOQ'S AND ONLY (1) WAS FOR A CHEROKEE, ONE IS TOO MANY. NHTSA ALSO STATED THAT "ASSESSMENT OF AVAILABLE DATA FOR THE CHEROKEE DID NOT ESTABLISH AN UNREASONABLE RISK." WAS THE AVAILABLE DATA AT THE TIME ACCEPTABLE? OR HAVE YOU SUBJECTED THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES TO A LIFE OF FEAR DRIVING VEHICLE NOT PROPERLY TESTED. WHY WAS THERE NO REAR END IMPACT TESTING OF THE CARS WHEN THEY INITIALLY CAME ON THE MARKET? THE LOCATION OF THE GAS TANK IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME POSITION AS THE GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE GAS TANK IS ALSO "PLASTIC". MY GRANDCHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OF A 1997 CHEROKEE AND IF IT WAS TO GET REAR-ENDED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE THEIR PARENTS TO GET THEM OUT OF THEIR RESTRAINTS? DID YOU TEST THAT? AS A FAMILY WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND THE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE NOTHING TO REASSURE US EITHER. WHY IS IT UP TO THE PUBLIC TO FILE COMPLAINTS? HAVE YOU NOT THOUGHT THAT INDIVIDUALS DRIVING THESE CARS ARE JUST BARELY GETTING BY, MAYBE NOT KNOWING THAT FIRES FROM REAR IMPACTS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY REPORTED? PLEASE, INVESTIGATE FURTHER, I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MY GRANDCHILDREN! KINDLY, [XXX]- GRANDMA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, BOTH THE FRONTAL DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

THE JEEP SHUT DOWN ON THE HWY,WOULDN'T START HAD GET A TOW. SPENT OVER 500 DOLLARS ON REPAIRS AND TOW ,FOUR DAYS LATER IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING. LUCKY I WAS HOME IS TIME .WAITED TWO DAY'S WENT OUTSIDE AND IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM .IM NOT DRIVING IT ANYMORE ITS TO MUCH TROUBLE. *TR

HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING WERE OCCASIONALLY TURNING OFF AND ON. SIDE LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS REMAINED ON. UPON INVESTIGATION FOR CAUSE, DISCOVERED CONNECTOR ON HEADLIGHT/DIMMER SWITCH WAS MELTED DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILDUP. SUSPECT DUE TO SEVERAL CONNECTORS ON DIMMER SWITCH WERE LOOSE ADDING RESISTANCE TO THE FLOW OF CURRENT CREATING EXCESSIVE HEAT IN SWITCH AND CONNECTOR. SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. SINCE THE SWITCH PROVIDES POWER DIRECTLY TO THE HEADLIGHTS, THIS CREATES A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THERE SHOULD BE A RELAY CONFIGURATION TO THE HEADLIGHTS TO REDUCE CURRENT FLOW THROUGH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED AND THE FRONT END WAS ALIGNED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4.0L I6 BEGAN STALLING IN 2010 UNDER SEEMINGLY RANDOM CONDITIONS. REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS (SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR CAP & ROTOR, IGNITION COIL, PCM) OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS TO NO AVAIL. THE DIFFERENCE CURRENTLY IS THAT THE STALL NOW ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR AT TEMPERATURES LESS THAN 65-70 DEGREES F. THE COLDER THE ENVIRONMENT, THE WORSE STALL PROBABILITY. COLDER TEMPS ALSO INCREASE PROBABILITY VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER A STALL. VEHICLE WILL ALWAYS FIRE UP ON A COLD START. STALL OCCURS AT VARYING SPEEDS (INCLUDING AT IDLE), BUT ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH STALL BECOMES WHAT SEEMS LIKE A MISFIRE. BELIEVE I HAVE NARROWED THE PROBLEM DOWN TO AN INTERMITTENT CONNECTION IN THE WIRING HARNESS, EITHER AT THE GRAY PCM CONNECTOR (CLOSEST TO BODY), OR IN THE WIRE LEADING TO THIS CONNECTOR. PUTTING ENOUGH PRESSURE ON THE WIRES UNDER THE PCM IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO HICCUP OR STALL. ONLY CODE EVER SHOWN RELATED TO STALL WAS THE UNSPECIFIC P0351 IGNITION SYSTEM CODE. FORTUNATELY, IF A STALL OCCURS AT HIGHER SPEEDS, ENGINE/VEHICLE SPEED MUST STILL DROP TO A CERTAIN LEVEL BEFORE POWER STEERING/BRAKING ARE LOST. OTHERWISE VEHICLE WOULD BE TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. NEVERTHELESS THIS IS STILL A HAZARDOUS CONDITION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

STALLING WHILE DRIVING. NO CODE = ONBOARD COMPUTER BAD?, NO ACCIDENT YET!! WHEN IT STALLS I HAVE A HARD TIME TO START THE JEEP ... IT HAPPENED 2 TIMES ... ONCE WHILE DRIVING, THE OTHER WAS AT A STOPLIGHT ........ALREADY HAVE A RECALL 10583287 FOR A TRAILER HITCH TO MAKE THE GAS TANK SAFER AND STILL WAITING...NO ACCIDENT YET!! *TR

CAR WILL NOT START ANYMORE, IT USED TO TURN OFF AT LIGHTS, OR STOP SIGNS. NOW IT JUST WONT TURN ON AT ALL. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. WHAT CAN BE DONE WITHOUT COSTING ME A FORTUNE. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HE DROVE 65 MPH IN THE RAIN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING; HOWEVER, THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 116,000. RK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN SHE CRASHED INTO A COW. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE CRASH. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND RIGHT LEG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A MICHELIN LTXM/S 235/75R15, DOT 4/5/2009 TIRE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT. THE TIRE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED BUT THE CAUSE OF THE DEFECT WAS NOT GIVEN. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRE WAS NOT RECALLED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE TIRE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13T012000 (TIRES) AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

CAR STALLS ,SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, HARD TO START. INSTRUMENT PANELS LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. HAD TO TAKE FUSE OUT TO EXTINGUISHED DOME LIGHTS, OTHERWISE STAY ON ALL THE TIME . GAS GAGE SHOWS THAT MORE GAS IN TANK THAN REALLY IS. *TR

THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD THE CODE READ AND IT SAID THE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR WAS BAD, CHANGED THAT STILL SAYS THAT SENSOR IS BAD. I CANNOT PASS EMISSIONS AND INSPECTION TO GET LICENSED. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, HOWEVER; THE CODE THAT COMES UP IS FOR THE IGNITION WHICH WAS ALREADY REPAIRED AND NOT THE ISSUE CAUSING AT HAND. THIS MALFUNCTION IS FREAKISHLY COMMON WHEN I LOOK IT UP ONLINE FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT MAY OR CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IF IN INTERSECTION OR BUSY ROAD/HIGHWAY. PLEASE NOTIFY ME OF ANY SOLUTIONS OR INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER. WE HAVE ALSO CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AS WELL AS WIRES & COIL. *TR

VIC DISPLAY SHOW "COOLANT SENSOR BAD." ONLINE INVESTIGATIONS REVEAL MANY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM OVER THE YEARS. THEIR TRIAL SOLUTIONS HAVE RANGED FROM REPLACING THE "COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR," THE COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR," REPLACING "CONNECTING WIRING" TO THE VIC, AND TO REMOVING THE VIC TO REPAIR SOLDER JOINTS AND CRACKS AT THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT IS LOCATED IN THE VIC. MOST REPORT THAT THE FIRST THREE ATTEMPTED REMEDIES DID NOT RESOLVE THE DEFECT. SOME REPORT SUCCESS IN RE-SOLDERING JOINTS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD. THE LATTER,--REMOVING THE VIC AND REPAIRS AT THE CIRCUIT BOARD-- IS AN INVOLVED PROCESS AND REQUIRES EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT. ALL REPORT THAT THIS CONDITION LEFT UNRESOLVED COULD LEAD TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING AND/OR FAULTY DATA SENT TO THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, AND POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS DEFECT, A RECALL OR A MANUFACTURE REPAIR BULLETINS, SHOULD BE ISSUED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSE. *TR

WENT OUT TO GO SOMEWHERE AND IT HAD A HARD TIME STARTING. AS I BEGAN TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD MY JEEP STARTED TO BACKFIRE, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT CUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT IT WAS DARK SO I COULD OF BEEN INJURED. WHEN I GOT IT TO CRANK BACK MY ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE AND WE HAVE BOUGHT ABOUT 5 HUNDRED DOLLARS IN PARTS AND TRIED EVERYTHING WE KNOW TO DO EVEN THE MECHANICS WE HAVE ASKED ABOUT IT HAVE NO ANSWERS FOR US, WE CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND NO ONE WANTS TO BUY IT FROM US BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD WITH OUR JEEP! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE READING FLUCTUATING.

1997 JEEP CHEROKEE DRIVERS SEAT BACK BROKE DURING LOW SPEED REAR END COLLISION. 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX SLID ON SLUSH AT STOPLIGHT. 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE HAD NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED A CRACKED TAIL LIGHT, AND MINOR SCRATCHES ON TOW HITCH, AND REAR BUMPER SKIN, IN ADDITION TO THE SEATS BEING DAMAGED. THE 04 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX REQUIRED A HOOD AND BUMPER-SKIN, BUT NO BUMPER SUPPORT, RADIATOR SUPPORT, AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OR OTHER DAMAGE. THE PASSENGER SEAT FRAME OF THE 1997 JEEP IS BENT AND PRESUMABLY BROKEN. BOTH REQUIRE PROFESSIONAL RE-WELDING AND REPAIR, ESTIMATED AT $250 PER SEAT. SETTLED WITH DRIVER OUT OF COURT FOR WISCONSIN MINIMUM DAMAGE WAIVER OF $1000 MODERATE BACK PAIN RESULTED FROM COLLISION FROM THE DRIVER, PASSENGER WAS UNINJURED. THE VEHICLE HAS NO RUST, AND IS IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION. THIS WAS AN OBVIOUS RESULT OF POOR MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES USED IN THE SEAT CONSTRUCTION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE ACCELERATOR CABLE AND THROTTLE BODY WERE GREASED.

VEHICLE INCIDENT 09/23/08 APPROX. 2:55-3:00 P.M. ON HIGHWAY 90, MILTON, FL DRIVING A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE, 4 CARS IN TOTAL WERE INVOLVED I WAS STOPPED FAR BACK IN A LINE OF CARS WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. THE LINE BEGAN TO MOVE UP SLOWLY, I LET MY FOOT UP FROM THE BRAKE AND WITHIN SECONDS THE JEEP ACCELERATED FORWARD, I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES THE CAR SLOWED TEMPORARILY BUT CONTINUED TO SURGE FORWARD IN A JERKING HOPPING MOTION. MY VEHICLE IMPACTED THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I LOOKED DOWN TO MAKE SURE I WAS APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES; MY PASSENGER WAS ALREADY CHECKING AS WELL. SEEING THAT I WAS (MY FOOT NEVER TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL DURING ANY OF THIS) AND THAT THE CAR WAS STILL PUSHING FORWARD I WAS FORCED TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE OFFICER DID NOT CITE ME THOUGH OF COURSE MY VEHICLE WAS STILL RESPONSIBLE. THE OFFICER IN HER REPORT STATED THAT SHE BELIEVED THE IMPACT, TO THE CAR MY JEEP STRUCK, WAS AT 45 MP/H BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE REAR END. THIS OF COURSE WAS NOT POSSIBLE SINCE I WAS AT A STOPPED POSITION STARTING TO COAST FORWARD; THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE WAS DUE TO THE JEEP HITTING THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES AS IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS BRAKING. AFTER THE INCIDENT THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, NO OVERT CAUSE WAS FOUND. THROUGH PERSONAL RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND SIMILAR INCIDENTS LINKED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (EVEN WHEN NOT TURNED ON), BECAUSE OF THIS WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING IT DISCONNEC

I OWN A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4.0 L6 TWO WHEEL DRIVE WITH 165,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 AND THE ENGINE DIED. THANKFULLY I WAS ON AN EMPTY HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES SINCE. I STILL HAD POWER BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESPOND. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SINCE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO MANY 1990'S JEEPS, WITH NO REAL KNOWN CAUSE OR CURE. I CHANGED THE OIL, SPARK PLUGS AND CLEANED THE FUEL LINES. I WILL ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE PCM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS INSTANCE AND I AM FRUSTRATED THAT NONE OF THE MECHANICS THAT I HAVE BEEN TO, EVEN DEALERS, COULD FIND THE PROBLEM, AND JUST ALLOWED ME TO CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD. IF A CURE FOR THIS PROBLEM IS FOUND I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO START WHEN THE CONTACT TURNS THE IGNITION. THERE IS MINIMAL FUEL PRESSURE WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, WITH A HALF TANK OF GAS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AS IF IT WERE OUT OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HESITATE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25 TO 65 MPH OR GREATER. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE OF FAILURE AS THE FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE DELIVERY: FUEL PUMP. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 119,000.

FUEL GAUGE READS INCORRECTLY. THE GAUGE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL IS ANYWHERE BELOW 1/2 TANK. NOT SURE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS TOPPED OFF. THERE WAS A RECALL 97V194000 FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNITS, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *NM

PLASTIC GAS TANK WARPED WHERE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT IS LOCATED ON TOP OF TANK. CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT AFTER A FILL UP. NEXT MORNING GASOLINE WAS NOTED ON FLOOR OF GARAGE WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FIRE. DEALER STATED TANK WARPED IN HEAT OF D.C. WEATHER. REPLACEMENT COST WAS $800. I WONDER IF OTHER SIMILAR EIGHT-YEAR OLD JEEP PRODUCTS WILL BEGIN TO SHOW THIS FAILURE, WHICH COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR UNSUSPECTING OWNERS OF JEEP VEHICLES WITH PLASTIC GAS TANKS.
