I FOUND ONLY GENERAL INFORMATION THAT OUR 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE HAD TWO RECALLS. IT IS TWENTY YEARS OLD AND I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE RECALLS. WE ARE MOST CONCERNED TO LEARN THAT THERE WAS AN AIR BAG RECALL SOMETIME IN THE PAST. WE HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 2003 AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. THE INFO SAID IT WAS A NHTSA RECALL #00V105000. THE OTHER RECALL SAYS IT'S AN AFTER-MARKET FUEL PUMP AIR TEX ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS FOR 1999 ' 2004. PLEASE SEND US ANY INFORMATION ON THIS AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, IF ANYTHING. THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 00V105000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. ROBERT GREEN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (178 BRIDGEVILLE RD, MONTICELLO, NY 12701, (845) 397-7532) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY BECAUSE OF THE YEAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY IN ALL TYPES OF DRIVING AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE BRAKE LINES BECAME SEVERELY RUSTED AND CORRODED. 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 223,827.

MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE UNI-BODY FRAME IS SO RUSTED OUT UNDERNEATH IT IS A HAZARD TOO DRIVE, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. SPECIFICALLY, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CONTROL ARMS ARE RUSTED OUT AND DETACHED AND FRAME IS SO RUSTED THEY CAN NOT BE REATTACHED. IT SEEMS IT IS VERY COMMON FOR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE UNI-BODY UNDER CARRIAGE TO RUST OUT AND BECOME A HAZARD WITH CONTROL ARMS DETACHING AND VEHICLE BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS PREDOMINANTLY A PROBLEM IN NORTHERN PART OF US. HOWEVER, THESE ARE VEHICLE PEOPLE BUY TO DRIVE ON BAD ROADS SO THEY SHOULD NOT DETERIORATE AND BECOME A DANGER TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE JEEPS AND WELD IN NEW FRAME RAILS AND OTHER SUPPORT AND REATTACH DETACHED SUSPENSION AND OTHER NECESSARY EQUIPMENT.

SEAT BELT LATCH AND BUCKLE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, IT IS VERY HARD TO BUCKLE IN AND WHEN TRYING TO UNBUCKLE, IT TAKES A LOT OF FORCE, TIME AND VERY UNSAFE. IF LEFT UNBUCKLED THE DASH LIGHT OR ALARM NEVER COMES ON TO BUCKLE UP. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL TIMES, DOESN'T MATTER IF STATIONARY OR MOVING. THE SEAT BELT HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO REPAIR IT UNLESS AN INITIAL FEE OF $250 IS PAID WITH MORE REPAIR FEES ARE EXPECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER OWNED A 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, BUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT EYE, LACERATION OF THE NOSE, A BROKEN JAW, THE FRONT TEETH SHIFTED, AND BLACK EYES. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE PASSED AWAY AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND AND DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

MY CAR HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE FRONT END WOBBLED SO BADLY THAT I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND STOP. "DEATH WOBBLE"

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN, PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE, ARRIVING AT A STOP-LIGHT WHEN VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR, PEDAL SEEMED TO HAVE NO LEVERAGE TO IT. I COASTED TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER, HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. CHECKED ALL FLUIDS AND PADS, THOSE COMPONENTS SEEMED TO BE FINE. AND HAD TO GET VEHICLE TOWED IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

HIT A BUMP OR POT HOLE OR A MAN COVER AT 45 MPH AND THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE AND GOES OUT OF CONTROL. ALMOST BEEN HIT OVER 5 TIMES BECAUSE I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP THE ISSUE. TIRES A NEW AND I'VE BEEN TO THE SHOP THEY SAY EVERYTHING GOOD FOR SAFETY INSPECTIONS BUT IT'S NOT GOOD. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT JEEP IS JUST TRY TO KILL IT'S CAR DRIVERS I WON'T HAVE BUY THE THING.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND BUZZER, GO ON AND OFF EVERY 5 MINUTES. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL. WHAT DO I DO? UPDATED 09/09/15*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEATS FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 340,000.

MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH WHEN I HIT A SLIGHT UNEVENNESS IN THE ROAD. I'VE HAD MY JEEP INSPECTED BY A JEEP DEALER, PAID TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, AND IT STILL REMAINS. THIS IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED, REPEATED ISSUE, THAT I, AND MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED, DRIVING JEEPS. IT'S BEEN REPORTED ON BY BOTH ABC NEWS (HTTP://ABC7NEWS.COM/ARCHIVE/8768540/) AND FOX NEWS (HTTP://WWW.FOXNEWS.COM/LEISURE/2012/07/09/WHAT-NEED-TO-KNOW-ABOUT-JEEP-DEATH-WOBBLE/) AND ACKNOWLEDGED BY CHRYSLER IN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. I WENT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP, CHRYSLER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN-HAND, SPENT $1,000 TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM AT THEIR BEHEST TO CORRECT WHAT THEY CLAIMED WAS CAUSING THE VIOLENT SHAKING I EXPERIENCED WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP ON THE HIGHWAY, ONLY TO FIND, POST-REPAIR, AFTER HITTING A MINOR SEAM ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 52 MPH, THAT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WAS WORSE THAN EVER, AND MY JEEP WAS TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FACT THAT NO ONE HAS DIED YET FROM LOSING CONTROL WHEN THEIR JEEP STARTS VIOLENTLY SHAKING WHILE THEY'RE SPEEDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY (THAT WE CAN PROVE) DUE TO AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN THESE VEHICLES IS A SHAMEFUL REASON FOR THE NHTSA TO DISMISS THIS ISSUE. I'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY, SO FAR THAT OTHER DRIVERS HAVE NOTICED ME RAPIDLY REDUCING MY SPEED IN TIME TO GET OUT OF MY WAY. I'VE BEEN LUCKY THAT ROAD CONDITIONS ALLOWED ME TO SLOW DOWN OR PULL OVER. I'VE BEEN LUCKY TO BE GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO REDUCE MY SPEED BEFORE I

NO CRASH, NO ACCIDENT THIS IS A COMPLAINT ON SAFETY AND LACK OF AVAILABILITY TO A "DO IT YOURSELF" (DIY) CERTIFIED MECHANIC ON BRAKE BLEEDING. I AM A CERTIFIED AVIATION MECHANIC AND WELL VERSED ON BLEEDING BRAKES. ON THE JEEP LISTED THERE IS A REQUIREMENT TO USE A SCANNER (THE CHRYSLER DRB III SCAN TOOL) WHICH PLUGS INTO THE OBD-2 SYSTEM TO RUN THE PUMP IN THE ABS SYSTEM. THIS RUNNING OF THE ABS PUMP SHOULD MOVE ANY AIR WITHIN, INTO THE LINES SO THAT SUBSEQUENT BLEEDING OF THE WHEEL LINES WILL REMOVE THE AIR. THE SCANNER COST IS PROHIBITIVE FOR THE DIY MECHANIC AND THE OWNER IS FORCED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR PROPER BLEEDING OF THE BRAKES. EVEN A USED SCANNER IS VALUED AT $3977 ON EBAY THIS DATE. THERE ARE VARIOUS "TRICKS" TO GET THE ABS PUMP TO RUN, SUCH AS A PANIC STOP ON A SLICK GRASSY SURFACE AND THAT WILL GET THE PUMP TO RUN, BUT THE BRAKES MUST BE BLED IMMEDIATELY TO GET THE DESIRED RESULTS, ON THE SLICK, GRASSY SURFACE. THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE DISSERVICE TO THE MECHANIC IN THE FIELD AND THE GREAT SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD ARISE WITH IMPROPERLY BLED BRAKES. WITHOUT THE ABS BLED PROPERLY, THE BRAKES ARE MUSHY AND EVEN AFTER PUMPING, ARE NOT THE BRAKES THEY SHOULD BE FOR THE SAFETY OF NEARLY A TWO TON VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE AN AFFORDABLE SCAN TOOL THAT WILL DO THE JOB FOR THE BASIC MECHANIC WHO WANTS TO DO THEIR VEHICLE HIM/HER SELF AND THOSE SAME FOLKS SHOULDN'T BE FORCED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER JUST TO ACHIEVE THE PROPER SAFETY STANDARDS. *TR

THE REAR BRAKE LINE (STEEL) NOT THE RUBBER LINE FAILED WHILE PULLING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE GARAGE. IT WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED THROUGH, DESPITE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE (BLEEDING OF OLD FLUID) BEING PERFORMED. IT WAS DETERMINED BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR LINES NEEDED REPLACEMENT DUE TO SEVERE ROT. THESE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OUT OF A CORROSION RESISTANT METAL. *TR

I'M HAVING MORE PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM, I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED IT (2) TIMES LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON THIS. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE SITE AND THERE IS A RECALL ON IT SINCE 2002 BUT I HAVE NEVER RESEVED ANYTHING ON IT. THE RECALL SAYS TO CONTACT LOCAL DEALER ON THIS MATTER AND IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF FOR FREE. I NEED A PAPER TO TAKE WITH ME ON THIS MATTER. IT ALSO SAYS IT COULD CATCH FIRE IF IT IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF!! CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS MATTER. I HAS GO OUT AGAIN NO FUEL AGAIN! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE AND REVERSE LIGHT UNITS MALFUNCTIONED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DECIDED TO REPLACE THE UNITS AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANICS, BUT THEY WERE ALSO UNABLE TO LOCATE THE FAILURE AND OPTED TO REPLACED THE UNIT. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

NEAR MISS REAR END COLLISION DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. AT TIMES EITHER THE TURN SIGNALS LEFT AND RIGHT WILL NOT WORK OR THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT LAMP ASSEMBLIES WILL NOT WORK. FOUND A ELECTRICAL GROUNDING ISSUE WITH LEFT AND RIGHT REAR LAMP ASSEMBLY WITH REGARDS TO BRAKE LIGHTS. WITH REGARDS TO THE TURN SIGNALS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY PROBLEM UNRESOLVED. IN ADDITION, WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND LOCKED AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LAMPS COME ON AND OFF FOR UNKNOWN REASON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 00V105000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,700.

I WAS PARKED IN MY LOT AND A NEIGHBOR DROPPED A CIGARETTE BEHIND MY 1999 JEEP. THERE WAS UNGODLY GAS SMELL AND THE PUDDLE OF GAS THAT IS LEAKING FROM TANK IGNITED. I WAS LUCKILY ENOUGH THAT I CAUGHT IT AT THAT TIME OR IT WOULD HAVE EXPLODED. I JUST BOUGHT IT AND NEVER SMELLED GAS OR THOUGHT THE TANK WAS LEAKING. I HAD TO SPENLEAKING. IT IS GOING TO COST OVER 500 DOLLARS FOR THIS TO BE FIXED PLUS A TOW BAR. PLEASE HELP ME TO SEE IF JEEP COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE DUE TO RECALL. *TR

TRAVELING EAST ON HWY 76 JUST OUTSIDE JULESBURG, CO, MY RIGHT REAR TIRE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT AT 75MPH. TIRE PRESSURES WERE AT 35 PSI ON ALL TIRES BEFORE TRIP A FEW DAYS EARLIER. TIRES HAVE ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THEM AND HAVE ABOUT 45% REMAINING TREAD. BLOWOUT PATTERN WAS A NEAR PERFECT CIRCLE WHERE THE SIDEWALL MEETS THE TREAD AREA OF THE TIRE. DAMAGE TO VEHICLE CONSISTED OF BENT REAR QUARTER PANEL. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD IT FIXED 2 TIMES. THEN IT. STOPS WORKING AGAIN. MY DRIVERS SEAT RAIL BROKE ON MY JEEP AND CAUSES THE SEAT TO WOBBLE ALL AROUND. THE SEAT ARE ALSO BROKEN IN THE SAME WAY ON MY 2000 JEEP AND MY 1996 JEEP TOO. WHAT CAN BE DONE. I HAVE 4 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. 3 JEEPS HAVE BROKEN SEATS. 2 OF THE 4 HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WHAT CAN BE DONE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER BEFORE THE SHAKING WOULD STOP. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH AGAIN AND HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING AGAIN OCCURRED. AGAIN I HAD TO SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY BEFORE IT STOPPED SHAKING. THIS IS KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE AND CHRYSLER KNOWS IT. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR USING CHEAP PARTS ON JEEPS. *TR

SINCE THERE IS NO CATAGORY FOR THIS ISSUE I HAD TO PUT VISIBILITY/WIPER IN ORDER TO EVEN SUBMIT THIS FORM. THERE IS NO CATAGORY FOR THE HEATING SYSTEM WHICH THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS!!! THE ACCUATOR DOORS REGULATING THE HEAT TO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ARE BROKEN. I THOUGHT BY REPLACING THE MOTOR WHICH CONTROLS THEM IT WOULD FIX IT. NO SUCH LUCK THE DOORS ARE BROKEN AND NOT ONLY ARE THEY ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH WITHOUT PULLING THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND CONSOLE, THE COST FOR IT WILL BE AROUND $1500 AND THAT IS ABSURD FOR A PART WHICH IS LESS THAN $100. THE LABOR WILL BE ABOUT $1300 TO GET TO IT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE CAN'T THEY DESIGN A VEHICLE THAT CAN BE WORKED ON WITHOUT TAKING IT APART TO A LEVEL WHICH MAKES ME WANT TO JUNK THE CAR!! THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT SOMETHING OTHER THAN PLASTIC TO CONTROL THE HEAT IN THE VEHICLE. NOW IT IS THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY IN NEW MEXICO AND IT IS FREEZING. THANKS JEEP, I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS SUV AND I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER AMREICAN CAR AGAIN!! I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION 2 YEARS AGO AT THE TUNE OF $3500. I RARELY GO ON A DIRT ROAD LET ALONE DRIVE FAST OR RECKLESS. A TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AT 65,000 IS ABSURD AND POOR DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING. THIS CAR IS NICKLING AND DIMEING ME TO DEATH!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAM POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS.

HAD SOME SHAKING BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF CONTROL, I COULD CONTROL THE JEEP I WAS VEERING INTO OTHER LANES, COULD NOT CONTROL THE JEEP, HOLDING ON FOR LIFE AND PRAYING NOT TO DIE. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WAS CRYING AND PEOPLE WERE GOING AROUND ME AND I JUST STARTED TO TRY TO SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY THEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. I COULD HAVE DIED!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, HE FELT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING AND THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING.

I OWN A 99 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREADO EVERY NOW AND THEN THE HAZARD LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND TURN SIGNALS GO OUT ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I CHECKED FUSES ARE ALL GOOD, LIGHT BULBS NEW, AND THIS PROBLEM STILL EXIST. ALSO THE HEADLIGHTS ARE REALLY FOGGY LOOKING MAKING IT HARD TO SEE ON DARK ROADS. *TT

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BROKE. *TR

I HAVE A 99 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. THE FRONT END BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN DRIVEN ON ANYTHING LESS THAN PERFECTLY SMOOTH FLAT ROADWAY SURFACE. APPLYING THE BRAKES MAKES THE FRONT END SHIMMY HORRIBLE AND DANGEROUS. YOU MUST SLOW TO REGAIN CONTROL, ALSO DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAYS. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON FLAW WITH JEEPS THAT HAVE A COIL-SPRUNG FRONT SUSPENSION WITH A TRACK BAR OR PANHARD BAR, REFERRED TO DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

NO: 08-15-99 SUBJECT: ERRATIC, INTERMITTENT CLUSTER OPERATION/INTERMITTENT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. DATE: MAY 21, 1999 THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 08-20-98 REV. A, DATED OCTOBER 2, 1998, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES AND NOTED IN THE BOUND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN BOOK, PUBLICATION NUMBER 81-699-99003. THIS IS A COMPLETE REVISION TO THE PROCEDURE. OVERVIEW: THIS BULLETIN INVOLVES INSTALLING A REPAIR HARNESS CONTAINING A REVISED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONNECTOR. SYMPTOM/CONDITION: SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT AN INTERMITTENT ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT OR AN INTERMITTENT TACHOMETER OR SPEEDOMETER DROP OUT. AN AIRBAG ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (AECM) FAULT CODE -"NO CLUSTER CCD BUS " MESSAGE WILL BE PRESENT. DIAGNOSIS: USING THE DRB III, READ AND RECORD ALL ACTIVE AND STORED FAULT CODES IN THE AECM. THIS CONDITION IS CAUSED BY MINOR OXIDATION OF THE BUS CIRCUIT TERMINALS AT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONNECTOR. ELECTRICAL TERMINALS WILL SHOW SIGNS OF OXIDATION, WHICH WILL APPEAR AS DARKENED LINES OR MARKS ON THE CLUSTER MALE TERMINALS. THESE OFTEN APPEAR AS GRAY OR BLACK MARKS RATHER THAN THE APPEARANCE OF OXIDATION OR CORROSION USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER CURRENT CARRYING CIRCUITS. THIS CONDITION WILL SET A "NO CLUSTER CCD BUS" MESSAGE. THE FAULT CODE WILL USUALLY BE STORED AND NOT ACTIVE. THIS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WILL NOT ADDRESS FUEL OR OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ISSUES. IF THIS FAULT CODE IS PRESENT, EITHER ACTIVE OR STORED PERFO

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE. SEAT WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH. OBVIOUSLY AN UNSAFE SITUATION BEING STRAPPED INTO A SEAT THAT IS NOT PROPERLY SECURED TO VEHICLE. WILL FORCE OF PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL TOTALLY SEPARATE SEAT FROM VEHICLE? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE RELATIVE TO PASSENGER RESTRAINT (ME) AND BRAKING OR STOPPING OF THE VEHICLE(OTHERS). I HAVE READ WHERE THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON JEEPS OF THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR AS MINE. CLEARLY, THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A SEAT FRAME FAIL ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OPERATED. THIS IS NOT RUST RELATED. IT IS SIMPLY A FAILED VEHICLE WEIGHT REDUCTION PROGRAM THAT HAS BLOSSOMED INTO A FULL BLOWN SAFETY CONCERN FOR BOTH THOSE IN THE VEHICLE AND ANYONE ELSE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IN ITS GENERAL PROXIMITY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS VEHICLE OWNERS WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE THESE VEHICLES UNTIL THE SEAT TOTALLY SEVERS ITS COMPROMISED MOUNTING AND BECOMES TOTALLY DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. IN THE MEAN TIME, ANYONE IN ITS PATH IS AT SERIOUS RISK. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE. THE METAL THAT THE SEAT IS BOLTED TO IS TOO THIN. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

(OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT # 10-0792-91) UPDATED 02/15/11 *BF

MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE DOES NOT DEFROST RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF FRONT WINDOW. LEFT -HAND SIDE WORKS VERY WELL. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE THIS YEAR, BUT SEEMED TO WORK OK AT END OF 2009. HAVE TRIED TO MOVE SELECTOR CONTROL BACK AND FORTH, DID NOT HELP AT ALL. TAKES SOME TIME FOR THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF DEFROSTER TO CLEAR RIGHT-HAND SIDE. MY FRIEND HAD A 1998 DODGE DURANGO AND A 1996 DODGE STEALTH THAT DID THE SAME THING. COULD THIS BE A CHRYSLER MANUFACTURING PROBLEM? THANK YOU. *TR

1999 JEEP CHEROKEE. ATTORNEY WRITES ON BEHALF OF CONSUMER WHO DIED IN A CRASH RELATED TO SEAT BELT AND AIRBAG ISSUES *TGW THE DECEDENT WAS DRIVING ON A CLEAR DAY ON A DRY HIGHWAY, WHEN SHE SUDDENLY HIT A MEDIAN AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED SEVERAL TIMES. ACCORDING TO THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN, THE DECEDENT WAS TOO SMALL TO BE PROTECTED BY THE SEAT BELT AND SHOULDER HARNESS AND/OR THE AIR BAGS. THE DRIVER DIED FROM INTERNAL INJURIES CAUSED BY THE SEAT BELT /AIR BAG NOT BEING PROPERLY DESIGNED TO PROTECT SOMEONE THAT SMALL. *JB

MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS A BROKEN DRIVER'S SEAT PAN. I WAS COMING TO A RED LIGHT AND I HEARD A SNAP SOUND. I WENT TO INVESTIGATE AND NOTICED THAT THE METAL SEAT PAN IS CRACKED ALL AROUND THE WHERE THE BOLT HOLDS IT IN THE SEAT TRACK. NOW THE SEAT ROCKS A LITTLE BIT, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE OTHER CORNERS CRACK DUE TO THE INCREASED STRESS. I HAVE NOT YET CORRECTED THE FAILURE. BUT IN ORDER TO DO SO, I WILL NEED A WHOLE NEW SEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THESE BREAK, IT WILL MEAN NOTHING IS HOLDING THE SEAT IN PLACE. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT PANS BREAKING.

PASSENGER AIR BAG WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE CHRYSLER INVESTIGATED AND SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND WON'T DO ANYTHING TO REPAIR. BUT I KNOW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE AIR BAG MODULE AND STILL SMELL BURNING WIRES DEALERSHIP SAID THAT JEEP HAD KNOWN RECALL THAT SAID WAS PERFORMED AND NEVER WAS FOUND RECALL ON YOUR WEB SITE IT SAID POSSIBLE AIR BAG LIGHT OR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DO TO CORROSION AND THE MODULE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MOVED TO TRANSMISSION TUNNEL BUT NEVER WAS DONE AND YOU CAN SEE CORROSION ALL OVER MODULE. AND CHRYSLER WOULD NOT SAY IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT 4DR AUTOMATIC HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING 6 TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. MOST TIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITH ONE TIME WHILE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY ON RAMP. USUALLY IT RESTARTS AFTER A PERIOD OF 2 MINUTES TO 12 HOURS. I DID HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED ONCE AS IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE REPAIR SHOP 3 TIMES AND THE COMPUTER SCAN CONTINUALLY SHOWS NO PROBLEMS. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE AT MY INSISTENCE EVEN THOUGH HE WASN'T SURE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IT WASN'T, AS IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS AGO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I HAD NO CELL PHONE AND HAD TO WALK 4 MILES TO GET HOME. AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE I SEE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY YEARS, MAKES AND MODELS OF JEEPS AND YET NO SOLUTION CAN BE FOUND ANYWHERE. I CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME UNLESS I TAKE IT TO A JEEP DEALER, WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE AND I WAS HOPING TO FIND AN ANSWER WITH YOUR HELP. *TR

1999 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT DRIVER SEAT BROKE. *TR

LIKE MOST JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS, I HAD TO PAY A HUGE REPAIR BILL TO GET THE AIR CONDITIONER TO WORK. ALMOST $2,000. *TR

RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER (ACTUALLY ALL GAUGES) WILL STOP WORKING, THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. IF YOU HIT THE DASHBOARD (SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL HITS) THE GAUGES WILL START WORKING AGAIN AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF. HAVEN'T HAD IT CHECKED BY A SHOP YET. *TR

1999 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT FRONT SEAT FRAME HAS BROKEN CAUSING SEAT TO SHIFT FORWARD AND BACKWARD AS YOU DRIVE, NOTICE FRAME HAS COME LOOSE FROM POPPING RIVET. I HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE NOTICED A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAME CAR WHICH WOULD INDICATE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE SEAT FRAME. *TR
