IT ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS SHIFTING GEARS BUT IT ISN'T, THEN WITHIN 5 MILES IT DIES. WE HAVE REPLACED PLUGS, WIRES, BATTERY, ALL KINDS OF SENSORS, THE COMPUTERS AND STILL IT WILL NOT GO 10 MILES BEFORE SHUTDOWN. THEN I HAVE TO WAIT 15 MINUTES, BEFORE IT WILL START BACK UP TO EVEN GO DOWN THE ROAD. I LIVE 30 MILES FROM A DEALERSHIP TO EVEN HAVE IT PUT ON THE COMPUTER. IT WOULD TAKE ME ALL DAY TO DRIVE IT TO GET THERE JUST TO HOPEFULLY FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TRYING THIS PART AND THAT PART JUST TO EVEN TRY TO GET TO WORK. WHEN IT IS BELOW 65 DEGREES OUTSIDE THEN I CAN DRIVE IT UPTO 20 MILES, BUT THAT IS EVEN TAKING A CHANCE IN GETTING STRANDED. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED REPEATED AND UNEXPLAINED FAILURES OF THE CRANKING SENSOR (SIX AT THIS TIME IN A TWO-YEAR PERIOD), CAUSING THE LOSS OF ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AND ALSO AT ROAD SPEED, INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF A SEVERE ACCIDENT. FROM VARIOUS ONLINE SEARCHES IT APPEARS THAT THOUSANDS OF THESE UNEXPLAINED FAILURES ARE OCCURRING TO OTHER JEEP VEHICLES. THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURES HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. *KB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SUDDENLY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE CONTACT USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUT THE VEHICLE STILL WOULD NOT STOP. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE TIRES; SHE SHIFTED TO PARK AND THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED.

WINDSHIELD WIPER MECHANISM DESIGN DEFECT: IN RAIN AND SLUSHY SNOW MY PASSENGER SIDE (PS) WINDOW CONSISTENTLY REMAINS CLEARER THAN THE DRIVER'S SIDE (DS). THERE IS A WATER STREAK (OR ICE STREAK) FOLLOWING THE DS WIPER AT EYE LEVEL THAT CHANGING WIPERS OR WIPER PRESSURE (BENDING THE ARM) WON'T FIX. I'VE DETERMINED THIS IS BECAUSE THE WIPERS START DOWN TO THE RIGHT AND SWING UP TO THE LEFT. THE DS WIPER PICKS UP WATER AND LEAVES IT VERTICALLY TO THE LEFT WHERE IT CAN BLOW AWAY. THE PS WIPER LEAVES A VERTICAL DEPOSIT IN THE DS. THE DS WIPER THAN SWEEPS THAT DOWN WHERE IT CANNOT BE BLOWN OFF READILY. IN RAIN, THIS PUDDLE GETS SUCKED UP BEHIND THE DS WIPER LEAVING A TRAIL OF WATER AT EYE LEVEL. NOW THINK SNOWBALLS: IN SNOW, THE DS WIPER COMPACTS THIS DEPOSIT INTO A PILE OF ICE AT THE DS WINDSHIELD BOTTOM. THIS BUILDUP LIFTS THE WIPER AND ALSO LEAVES A CLUMP OF ICE ON IT THAT THEN LEAVES A STREAK OF UN-WIPED SNOW, AGAIN AT EYE LEVEL. EVENTUALLY IN SNOW THIS BUILDUP WILL SPREAD AND COVER THE WHOLE DS TEMPTING THE DRIVER TO DRIVE WHILE LOOKING THROUGH THE PS, UNTIL A SAFE PLACE CAN BE FOUND TO EXIT AND MANUALLY SCRAPE THE WINDSHIELD. IN A RECENT BLIZZARD ON A LONELY RURAL INTERSTATE I WAS IN, ALL DRIVERS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND STOPPING IN WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WAS VERY DANGEROUS WITH MANY VEHICLES SPUN OUT OR JACKKNIFED OR STUCK IN THE DITCH OR COLLIDING. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE GREATLY IMPROVED IF NOT COMPLETELY ELIMINATED BY REVERSING THE SWING OF THE WIPERS. I CAN'T SEE WHY THIS WOULDN'T W

3-08-2010 WE HAVE A FIRST YEARS TRUE FIT CONVERTIBLE CAR SEAT WITH A DOM OF 7-16-2008, BOUGHT IN 4-2009. WE DO NOT USE THE LATCH SYSTEM SO THE TOP HOOK STAYS CONNECTED TO THE SEAT AND NOT TOUCHED OTHER THAN A NORMAL BUMP WHEN INSTALLING THE SEAT. ON 2-21-10 I NOTICED THE TOP LATCH HOOK WAS OFF OF THE CAR SEAT. WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT BACK ON THE SEAT I NOTICED THAT THE THIN PART OF THE HOOK NO LONGER WAS MEETING THE FAT PART AND WOULD NOT STAY ON THE SEAT. I PUT THE CLIP BACK ON THE SEAT AND INSTALLED THE SEAT IN THE CAR. ONCE WE TOOK THE SEAT BACK OUT OF THE CAR WE NOTICED THE CLIP ONCE AGAIN WAS OFF THE SEAT, ALL IT TOOK WAS A BUMP ON THE CLIP FOR IT TO COME OFF. I CALLED LEARNING CURVE ABOUT IT AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION THAT THE CLIP WAS NO LONGER STAYING WHERE IT NEEDS TO AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD MAIL ME A "RETAINER CLIP" AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL. PHONE CALL WAS ON 3-5-210, SO HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THIS CLIP AND UNKNOWN IF IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=1995, MAKE=JEEP, MODEL=GRAND CHEROKEE). *TR

I OWN A 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. NHTSA ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL: "SECONDARY DETENT SYSTEM TO FLOOR SHIFTER." THERE WAS NO PROBLEM W/ SHIFTER OF ANY KIND BEFORE TAKEN INTO FACTORY AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME IN UNSAFE & DANGEROUS CONDITION. SHIFTER NOW BARELY STAYS IN GEAR POSITIONS, & WITHOUT DEPRESSING RELEASE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER, & WHILE DRIVING, USING GENTLEST OF TOUCHES, ***THE SHIFTER CAN BE MOVED FROM REVERSE TO NEUTRAL AND BACK, FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL & BACK, & OCCASIONALLY BTWN ALL 3 GEARS. TWO TUCSON FACT. AUTH. DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THIS EASILY DEMONSTRATIONS PHYSICAL PROBLEM EXISTS, & DAIMLER-CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS ONLY 'ACCEPTS' 'THE TRUTH' BEING WHAT THEIR REPS SAY. THEREFORE, NO PROBLEM OR 'INCIDENT' REPORT WILL BE FILED. I'VE TAKEN ALL 'PROPER' COMPLAINT STEPS W/ DEALERSHIPS & D-C HEADQUARTERS, BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY TYPE OF PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PERSONALLY DEMONSTRATED IT TO THEM. THOUGHT THIS PATTERN OF DENIAL WAS JUST BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO 'PAY' TO CORRECT THEIR DAMAGE TO MY CAR, BUT AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ON THIS SIGHT, THEY DON'T WANT THE GOV. OR PUBLIC TO KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM W/THEIR SAFETY RECALL 'FIX,' OR THEIR FACTORY MECHANICS ARE INCOMPETENT &/OR CARELESS, OR PROBABLY BOTH. THEY KEEP SAYING MY SHIFTERS BEHAVIOR IS "NORMAL, OR "HAS NO PROBLEM," OR "THEY CAN'T MAKE IT HAPPEN WHEN THEY TRY." SUSPICIOUS THEY ARE DOING THIS TO OTHERS FOR T

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT LENSES BECAME DULL AND TURNED A YELLOW COLOR. THIS REDUCED VISIBILITY DRASTICALLY WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT.

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.

THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOESN'T EVEN SHOW A READING AND THE FACTORY INFINITY GOLD CD RADIO TURNS ON BUT NO SOUND.

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.
