1998 Jeep Cherokee complaints

1998 JEEP CHEROKEE SE HAS HAD A FUEL PUMP REPLACED (5 YEARS AGO) BEFORE THE RECALL OF SAME AND NOW THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED (BOTH TIMES AT A COST OF $1000+ WHICH IS EXCESSIVE AND REALLY MADDENING. *JB

1998 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4.0 - WHEN TURNING LEFT AND THE FUEL LEVEL IS BELOW APROX 1/3 FULL THE ENGINE STALLS AND STOPS RUNNING. THIS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN PROCEEDING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. I AM AWARE THAT MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH LEADS TO A CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, A RATTLING SOUND WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IN 04/06. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IN 05/06. A RECALL LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER WAS RECEIVED ON 09/09/06, WHICH PERTAINED TO THE POWER TRAIN: CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM) AND INSPECTION OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. ON 09/11/06, THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS MADE PRIOR TO THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AND THE REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM WAS DENIED. UPDATED 10/31/2006 - *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE IN THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT THE OTHER GAUGES WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND THE OTHER GAUGES WORKED PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THERE WAS A WIRING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND OFFERED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. *AK UPDATED 9/13/2006 - *NM

AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATORS FAILING IN JEEP VEHICLES FROM 96 ON UP, CHEROKEES IN PARTICULAR. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL THROUGH NORMAL USE. THE EVAPORATOR IS INSTALLED IN THE HEATER BOX BEHIND THE DASHBOARD AND TAKES 8 HOURS OF LABOR TO REPLACE. THIS IS A COMMON ITEM TO FAIL BUT I THOUGHT I'D ACTUALLY FILE A COMPLAINT AND SEE IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE. THIS ALSO RESULTS IN VERY POOR DEFROSTING OF THE WINDSHIELD. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE HORN BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED A FAULTY CLOCK SWITCH CAUSED THE HORN FAILURE. THE DEALER ORDERED A REPLACEMENT CLOCK SWITCH AND WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLE WHEN IT ARRIVES.

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPEN AROUND NOV OF 2002, WHILE DRIVING ON A WET ROAD IN TAMPA, FL, SPEED ABOUT 35 MPH. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN.

THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE HOUSING HAS BEEN CLEANED, BOTH DRUMS HAVE BEEN TURNED. FLUID HAS BEEN DRAINED FROM SYSTEM AND REPLACED WITH NEW DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID. NO IMPROVEMENT, BRAKES STILL LOCK UP. *JB

DT: CONSUMER WAS DRIVING ON TWO LANE ROAD AT ABOUT 20 MPH. VEHICLE IN FRONT OF CONSUMER STOPPED, WHEN CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO STOP VEHICLE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND, CONSUMER 'S VEHICLE HIT OTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR. AFTER ACCIDENT CONSUMER DROVE HOME BUT STILL HAD NO BRAKES, HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. CONSUMER HAD MECHANIC COME TO HER HOUSE TO EXAMINE VEHICLE. MECHANIC FOUND THAT BRAKE ROTORS WHERE SEPARATED. CONSUMER DONE RESEARCH ON INTERNET TO FIND THAT THERE WAS RECALL 00V136000 ON MAKE/ MODEL AND YEAR, BUT MANUFACTURE TOLD CONSUMER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL .. CONSUMER WAS HAVING PROBLEM FIXED BY REPLACING ROTORS. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED REGULARLY. CONSUMER BELIEVED ROTORS WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.*AK

INTEMITTENT FAILURE OF THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER AS WELL AS THE AIR BAG WARING LIGHT TURING ON. THESE CONDITIONS WERE APPARENTLY CAUSED BY A FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONNECTOR. THE CONNECTOR WAS REPLACED WITH PART NUMBER 05016261 TO CORRECT THE FAULT. IT APPEARED THAT THE SERVICE PEOPLE WERE FAMILIAR WITH THIS CONDITION AND ITS' CAUSE.*AK

I PURCHASED THE 1998 JEEP BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER (6/22/98). ON APPROXIMATELY 2/22/01 THE REGULATOR THAT OPERATES THE LEFT FRONT (DRIVER'S SIDE) POWER WINDOW FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER PERFORMED THIS AND SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THERE WAS NO CHARGE. NOW ON 1/26/05 THE REGULATOR ON THE RIGHT FRONT POWER WINDOW ALSO FAILED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THIS REGULATOR AND I WAS CHARGED $407.40 FOR THIS. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT THIS REFLECTS AN OBVIOUS VEHICLE PART DEFECT. FOR BOTH TO FAIL COMPLETELY OUT OF THE BLUE SEEMS TO INDICATE A DEFECTIVE PART RATHER THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE A 1989 OLDS THAT MY FATHER PURCHASED NEW, AND WE HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ANY PARTS OF THE POWER WINDOW UNITS. I REQUEST THAT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF $407.40 FOR THE SECOND INCIDENT. *AK *SC *JB

I PURCHASED A USED 1998 JEEP CHEROKEE AN THE TURN SIGNALS DON'T CUT OFF AFTER GOING AROUND CORNERS BECAUSE THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND CLOCK SPRING ARE BAD AND THE DEALER SAID THAT I NEED TO FIX THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO SHORT OUT AND DEPLOY THE AIRBAG WHILE DRIVING. *JB

ALSO, CONSUMER HAS TO USE THE KEY TO LOCK THE TAILGATE. *AK THE CONSUMER SITED THE RECALL FOR THE FUELGAGE NEEDED TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE. *TC

I OWN A 1998 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. I NOTICED RECENTLY A WIRING PROBLEM TO BOTH THE FRONT DOOR SPEAKERS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS COMMON FOR THERE TO BE SHORTS IN THE WIRES THAT GO FROM THE BODY INTO THE DOOR. THEY SAID THEY USUALLY SEE THE FAILURES IN THE DOOR LOCK WIRING OR THE POWER WINDOW WIRING. THE SPEAKER WIRING TRAVELS THE SAME ROUTE INTO THE DOOR. I REALIZE THAT THE POWER IN A SPEAKER WIRE WONT PROBABLY CAUSE A FIRE, BUT THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR IS 25 AMPS AND IT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR FIRE IN THE WIRING IF SHORTED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE COST TO REPLACE JUST THE SPEAKER WIRING WOULD BE $140 PER DOOR IN LABOR ALONE. IF THERE WERE EVER SOMETHING THAT RECALLS WERE MEANT FOR, THIS IS IT. I AM HAVING THE SPEAKER WIRING REPLACED AT AN AUDIO STORE, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE POWER WINDOWS OR DOOR LOCKS AT THIS POINT. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. I JUST CANT AFFORD TO DO IT ON MY DIME. *AK

RECALL 00V105000 CONCERNING AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE: RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2001. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN MOTION.

I SAT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND IT PITCHED BACK SO BAD I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO LAND IN THE BACK SEAT. I CHECKED A FEW JEEP CHEROKEE GOUPS ON THE WEB AND FOUND OUT SEAT FRAMES HAD A TENDANCY TO BREAK. I THEN CALLED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL. THE SERVICE WRITER RESEARCHED IT AND TOLD ME JEEP HAD NO HISTORY OF SEAT PROBLEMS AND HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF A PROBLEM. I REMOVED THE SEAT AND INSPECTED IT. AT FIRST IT LOOKED LIKE THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SEAT FRAME HAD BROKEN ON THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER. I REMOVED THE SEAT BACK, FABRIC AND PADDING TO REPAIR THE FRAME, AND FOUND THAT THE SEAT FRAME HAD BROKEN NEAR EVERY WELD.

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HAS BECOME UNSAFE DUE TO BOLT SECURING FRONT LEFT OF SEAT TO VEHICLE BEING TOO SMALL FOR HOLE AND EVENTUALLY WORE THROUGH. NOW DUE TO STRESS FAILURE FROM POOR DESIGN THE SEAT IS UNREPAIRABLE. BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE, IT APPEARS FRUITLESS TO ASK DEALER FOR APPROPRIATE REPAIRS AT NO COST.

DRIVERS SEAT OF 1998 JEEP CHEROKEE CLASSIC FAILED. LEFT FRONT ATTACHMENT RAIL NUT WORKED IT'S WAY THROUGH THE RAILING CAUSING FRONT LEFT PART OF SEAT TO DISLODGE ITSELF FROM SEAT TRACK, WHICH ALLOWED SEAT TO FALL BACK AND TO THE RIGHT. NUTS WHICH ATTACH SEAT TO TRACK ARE SMALLER THAN BOLT HOLES CAUSING NUTS TO WORK THROUGH BOLT HOLES RESULTING IN SEAT TRACK AND SEAT BASE FAILURE. I EXPLAINED TO DEALER THAT THIS WAS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. DEALER DID NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF A NEW BASE, WHICH COST $350.00. THE NEW BASE INCLUDED LARGER ATTACHMENT NUTS WITH A NOTE STATING DO NOT USE OLD ATTACHMENT NUTS. THE NOTE AND LARGER ATTACHMENT NUTS REINFORCES THE FACT THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THESE ATTACHMENT BOLTS, BUT REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT OR REIMBURSE CONSUMERS FOR THEIR EXPENSES RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. *NLM

THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *NLM

AND JEEP IS NOT AT THE 100,000 MILE MARK YET! *NLM
