1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

HAD VEHICLE IN "PARK" STANDING IN FRONT OF VEHICLE BY GARAGE FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES WHEN NOTICED JEEP GOING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND CHASED AFTER BUT GOT ACROSS STREET TO TREE ALONG CURB AND CRASHED INTO. JEEP WAS IN "REVERSE" WHEN GOT INTO AND THEN DROVE INTO DRIVEWAY AND WAS ABLE TO RECREATE AFTER CALLING INSURACE CO AND POLICE DEPT. SAT INSIDE PUT IN DRIVE, THEN PARK WITHOUT IT LOCKING COMPLETELY, SAW ORANGE INDICATOR IN WINDOW IN "PARK" AND HAD AIR CONDITIONING RUNNING ALONG WITH RADIO ON. WAITED AWHILE AND SAW IT SLOWLY MOVE DOWN INTO "REVERSE" AND START ROLLING UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKES. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN TOWN IS UNABLE TO RECREATE OR SEE A PROBLEM WHEN I TOOK IN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT OF COURSE BUT I FEEL AFTER SEEING ARTICLES THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE HANDLED BEFORE MORE SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR.*AK

WHILE UNOCCUPIED AND IDLING IN PARK, THE CAR SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND DROVE INTO A TREE, DAMAGING DRIVER SIDE DOOR--I ASSUMED I IMPROPERLY PUT IT INTO PARK--BUT RECENT PUBLICITY ABOUT A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE SAME CAR CAUSED ME TO CONTACT YOU SO MY SITUATION CAN BE COUNTED AMONG THE STATISTICS YOU ARE COMPILING.*AK

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK POSITION, TURNED COMPLETELY OFF ON AN INCLINE AND VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR INTO REVERSE. VEHICLE HIT A TREE THAT DID NOT PREVENT VEHICLE FROM STOPPING AND CONTINUED TO HIT ANOTHER TREE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE BEGINES TO TUG/SLIP ON THE RIGHT SIDE, IT BEGINS TO TUG/SLIP/LURCH AND PROGRESSES INTO A MATALLIC CLUNK THAT CAN BE FELT ON THE FLOOR AND IN THE DRIVETRAIN AREA ON THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. POSSIBLY SUSPENSION RELATED.*YH

THE JEEP CHEROKEE IN QUESTION WAS PARKED IN THE OWNER'S GARAGE. WHEN A VISITOR STARTED IT, IT IMMEDIATELY JUMPED INTO REVERSE AND FLEW ATA HIGH SPEED OUT OF THE GARGAGE. THIS CAUSED IT TO CROSS A STREET, HIT A RETAINING WALL AND A MAIN WATERLINE. THE COLLAPSE OF THE WALL MADE THE NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE DOOR FALL OFF THE HINGES. HER CAR WAS STUCK INSIDE FOR OVER A WEEK AND SHE WAS WITHOUT WATER UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. THE 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WAS TOTALED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES AND HAS BEEN TREATED BY A DOCTOR.*AK

ROTATED AND BALANCED TIRE, ALIGNED FRONT WHEELS, REPACKE WHEEL BEARING. ALSO, TRANSMISSION NEEDED AN OVERHAUL. *AK

THE VEHICLE ROLLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ON ITS OWN AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE DAMAGING THE REAR END, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. *YH

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE ON 04/21/97 WHEN MY JEEP SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO THE RETAINIG WALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER. YHEY CLAIMED TO HAVE INSPECTED MY VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTION OR DEFECT. THEY OFFERED TO INSTALL A "BRAKE-PARK" SHIFT INTERLOCK RETROFIT PACKAGE, BUT TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM CLAIMING THAT DRIVER. *AK

WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND LET THE AUTOMOBILE. IT THEN STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS FOR SEVERAL YARDS AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED CAR WITH NO PASSENGERS IN IT. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN MY CAR. I BELIEVE THAT IT KICKED OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION IN JEEP CHEROKEE'S DOING THIS KIND OF THING.*AK

I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, SHUT OF THE IGNITION, TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL AHEAD. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT QUITE OFTEN. TODAY, I NEARLY ROLLED INTO THE VEHICLE PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. *AK

CONSUMER WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED WHEN GEAR SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE. VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. NO ACCIDENT WAS REPORTED. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

VEHICLE IN CAR WASH WHEN IT STARTED TO SUDDENLY CAME OUT BACKWARDS , AND WAS PICKING UP SPEED. WAS NOT ABLE TO GET IN VEHICLE TO STOP IT. HAD A LOT OF TORQUE BEHIND IT. VEHICLE HIT A WALL NEXT TO CAR WASH. APPARENTLY VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE.*AK YH

PUT JEEP INTO PARK AND GOT OUT TO GET THE MAIL-NOTICED IT HAD STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK IN AND STOP IT FROM ROLLING FURTHER DOWN THE STREET, HOWEVER THE DOOR CAUGHT ON THE MAILBOX AND THERE WAS $2268.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE BODY.

WHILE MY 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS PARKED WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN PARK POSITION AND ENGINE RUNNING, SUDDENTLY THE CAR TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN IN REVERSE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE.*AK

CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT FUEL PUMP KEEPS FAILING DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN WITH INNER LINER OF GAS TANK, AND IT IS CLOGGING FUEL PUMP UP*AK *JB

VEHICLE WOULD BE RELUCTANT TO SHIFT OUT OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE. GRINDING NOISES WOULD BE HEARD WHEN TRYING TO STEER THE JEEP. FINALLY, A 2 X 3 INCH CHUNK BLEW OUT OF THE HOUSING OF THE TRANSFER CASE ASSEMBLY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE NHTSA SITE, IT LOOKS LIKE MANY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS ASSEMBLY. MOST DESCRIBED THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD. IT COST ME $1500 TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART.

BACKED JEEP INTO GARAGE AT 2:30 P.M.. POWER FAILURE AT 4:30 P.M.. AT 6:00 P.M. OPENED ELECTRIC GARAGE DOOR BY PULLING RELEASE CORD. PULLED JEEP OUT OF GARAGE FRONT FIRST. TO CLOSE GARAGE DOOR, PUT JEEP IN PARK, LEFT DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPEN AND WENT BACK INTO GARAGE TO PULL RELEASE CORD. LOOKED UP, FOR SOME REASON, AND JEEP WAS BACKING INTO GARAGE ON ITS OWN. JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY, HITTING MY FACE ON CAR AND TWISTING MY BACK. JEEP'S DOOR CAUGHT ON GARAGE FRAME AND FINALLY STOPPED VEHICLE. JEEP DOOR NEARLY TORN OFF. CALLED JEEP AND INVESTIGATOR CAME OUT TO DO TESTS ON CAR THE NEXT DAY. SAID THE COMPUTER INSIDE CAR WOULD SHOW IF THE CAR HAD ACTED ON ITS OWN. INVESTIGATOR SAID TESTS SHOWED EVERYTHING TO BE OK. EVERYTHING MAY SHOW OK NOW, BUT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT IT CHANGED GEARS ON ITS OWN. I DIDN'T GIVE MYSELF A BLACK EYE! HOW DO I PROCEED?*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED AND THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING, AS THE DRIVER OPENED THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD THEN BACKWARDS HITTING A PARKED CAR. NLM

WHILE ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. ALSO, IT HAS A LONG DELAY BEFORE IT GOES INTO GEAR.*AK THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. NLM

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE SITTING IN DRIVE. THOUGH IT HAS NOT CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS BECAUSE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO DOES NOT WANT TO CHANGE GEARS WHILE DRIVING. THE DRIVER HAS TO PUNCH THE GAS AND LET THE ENGINE REACH ABOUT 4 RPMS BEFORE IT WILL GO TO THE NEXT GEAR. TAKEN TO SEVERAL TRANSMISSION PLACES AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH ABOUT 60000 MILES. I SPOKE WITH PREVIOUS OWNER AND IT DID THE SAME THING. IT HAS CONTINUOUSLY GOTTEN WORSE. I SAW THE SPECIAL ON TV AND THAT IS WHEN I DECIDED TO PROCEED WITH MY COMPLAINT.*AK

JEEP MOVES OUT OF GEAR WHEN STARTING ENGINE IN PARK. GRINDING SOUND OCCURS AND JEEP DOES NOT START.*AK

MY WIFE PUT THE JEEP IN PARK AND LEFT IT IDLING TO GO BACK INTO OUR HOUSE TO RTIEVE SOMETHING SHE HAD FORGOTTE. ONCE IN THE HOUSE SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND LOOKED OUT AND SAW THAT THE JEEP HAD CRASHED INTO A TREE LOCATED JUST BEHIND WHERE SHE HAD LEFT IT IN PARK. I CALLED THE JEEP BUSINESS WHERE I HAVE BEEN HAVING IT SERVICED FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS AND ASKED IF THEY HAD A RECORD OF THIS TYPE MALFUNCTION AND OR A RECALL COTICE FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED THEIR COMPUTER AND TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT. I HAD IT REPAIRED WHICH COST STATE FARM AND PROBALY A RATE HIKE FOR ME AND A $500 DEDUCT THAT I PAID, PLUS A $275 CAR RENTAL FEE I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE A CAR FOR THEE WEEKS. LATER I SAW AN ARTICLE SAYING THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND THEY COLD SHOULDERED ME, AND STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY. I WANT TO KANOW HOW TO PROCEED TO GET MY EXPENSES BACK AND GET THE PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *AK

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING INTO REVERSE WHEN VEHICLE IN "PARK" WITH ENGINE RUNNING. TWO INCIDENTS. FIRST WHEN REVERSING OUT OF GARAGE - NO DAMAGE. SECOND WHEN PARKED IN POST OFFICE PARKING LOT. UNATTENDED VEHICLE, NO DRIVER AND NO PASENGERS, REVERSED ACROSS LOT AND INTO MAILBOXES. DAMAGED MAILBOX, NO PERSONAL INJURY. DRIVER'S DOOR WAS OPEN AND I WAS ABLE TO REACH IN AND PUSH GEARLEVER INTO "PARK" AS VEHICLE HIT MAILBOXES.*AK

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK POSITION, IDLING, WHEN IT JUMPED INTO REVERSE POSITION AND RAN OVER A FRIEND WHO WAS TAKING A NIGHT DEPOSIT FOR A BUSINESS. THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DAMAGED AS THE VEHICLE STOPPED AGAINST A CURB IN THE BANK PARKING LOT AND OCCURRED AROUND MIDNIGHT WHEN NO OTHERS WERE IN THE PARKING LOT. SHE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER WHERE SHE WAS TREATED FOR RELATED INJURIES ON ANOTHER DATE AS WELL. SHE WAS THEN SEEN BY DR. RIOS WHO WAS THE WORKMAN'S COMP. DOCTOR. SHE HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM HIS CARE BUT STILL SUFFERS FROM NECK PROBLEMS AND ANXIETY ABOUT IT HAPPENING AGAIN. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED SO WE CAN ELIMINATE THAT FEAR. WE WERE NOT AT ALL SURE WHY THIS HAPPENED, BUT WHEN WE SAW INFO ON A POSSIBLE RECALL ON THE INTERNET THAT DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, WE FELT IT NECESSARY TO REPORT OUR INCIDENT. *AK

IN REGARDS TO YOUR ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE WHEN IDELING, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, APPROX. 4 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME, WHEN PARKED ON MY LEVEL DRIVEWAY, THE SECOND, WHEN SITTING IN A MCDONALD'S DRIVE-THRU LINE, ALSO LEVEL. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND NO DAMAGE FROM HITTING OTHER OBJECTS, BUT IT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. NOW, I PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON WHEN I IDLE IN PARK FOR LONG PERIODS. I CALLED A JEEP DEALER ABOUT IT, AND THEY SAID "I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION". PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE GET HURT OR KILLED. *AK

WHEN SITTING AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT WHEN I APPLY GAS THE VEHICLE HESITATES THEN JUMPS INTO GEAR AND LURCHES FORWARD. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED(NEW FLUID,FILER,ETC) 3 TIMES AND THE JUMPING INTO GEAR WILL STOP FOR APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES AND THEN IT WILL START AGAIN.*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS BRIEFLY LEFT IN PARK WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPEN. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO REVERSE, RESULTING IN A COLLISION BETWEEN THE VEHICLE AND A BUILDING WHICH WAS USED AS A MINI-STORE AT A GAS STATION.

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

I HAVE PROVIDED THE DETAILS, DUE TO A NEWS ARTICLE THAT I HAVE JUST READ, THAT THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING A POSSIBLE DEFECT WITH THE 1995 MODEL OF THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE INADVERTENTLY GOING INTO REVERSE. ON THE MORNING OF 12/20/1994 @ 5.30 AM IT WAS VERY COLD, AND I DROVE MY JEEP OUT OF THE GARAGE, PUT IT INTO PARK, AND GOT OUT OF MY JEEP TO CLOSE THE GARAGE DOORS, LEAVING MY DRIVERS DOOR OPEN, AND AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE I HEARD THE JEEP'S ENGINE TONE CHANGE, LOOKED UP TO SEE THE JEEP REVERSING BACK, I JUST MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, AND THE JEEP CAME BACK INTO THE GARAGE, REMOVING THE OPEN DRIVERS DOOR. I REACHED IN AS IT WAS MOVING AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. I KNEW THE VEHICLE HAD A PROBLEM, AND IT WAS LOOKED AT BY BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER, WHO REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH TODAY I NO LONGER OWN THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER HAS ALL THE COMPLAINT DETAILS. ABOUT 1 YEAR LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN IN A CAR PARK WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND I PULLED INTO A CAR PARKING BAY, PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILEST WE SAT IN THE CAR AND TALKED, SUDDENLY AFTER ABOUT 30 SECS THE JEEP STARTED TO MOVE BACK. AGAIN I QUICKLY TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. AGAIN I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, WHO REMEMBERED THE SAME PROBLEM EARLIER, BUT STATED THAT JEEP HAD NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL IF THERE WAS AN PROBLEM, SO ONCE AGAIN THEY JUST PAST IT OFF AS MISOPERATION ON MY PART. I WOULD BE EXTREMELY PLEASED TO SUPPORT THE NHTSA WITH ANY FURTHER HELP
