1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

I HAD MY FRONT BRAKE ROTORS REPLACED AT 67,220 MILES - AT THAT TIME THE FRONT BRAKES WERE SHOT, YET THE REAR BRAKES HAD 50% LIFE REMAINING (APPEARS TO BE UNDUE PRESSURE PLACED ON FRONT BRAKES. AFTER ONLY 5,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE PULSATED WHILE BRAKING. SO AT 73,091 MILES AT HAD FRONT BRAKES RESURFACED, AT WHICH TIME THE MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE BRAKES WERE ALREADY SHOWING SIGNS OF OVER HEATING AND WERE ALREADY WARPED. I HAD REAR BRAKES DONE (EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD SUFFICIENT LIFE REMAINING) AT THE SAME TIME IN CASE THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE 16,000 MILES ON THE FRONT BRAKES (10,000 MILES AFTER FIRST RESURFACING), THEY AGAIN ARE PULSATING STRONGLY, AND REQUIRE UNDUE PRESSURE FROM MY FOOT TO MAKE THEM WORK APPROPRIATELY....ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINEERING AND/OR MANUFACTURING OF THE BRAKES. *JB

THE CONSUMER PLACED THE VEHICLE IN THE PARK POSITION, AS SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK IN REVERSE UNTIL IT HIT A PARKED VEHICLE BY A GAS TANK. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE VEHICLE HAD RECALL B02 PERFORMED, WHICH WAS THE FLOOR SHIFT. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER PROVIDE THE CONSUMER WITH A PAYMENT FOR THE INSURANCE ESTIMATE. SCC

THERE IS A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. THE CAR LUNGES AFTER THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. I WAS TOLD ITS NORMAL FOR A CAR WITH 45000 MILES!!!! *JB

1. FUEL INJECTOR FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE AND OPERATE ON ONLY 5 OUT OF 6 CYLINDERS. 2. IN THE SAME CYLINDER (#6) ROD BROKE, CAUSING ENGINE TO BLOW AND NEED REPLACEMENT AT ONLY 42,000 MILES. 3. POWER STEERING PUMP ALMOST FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. (MOST LIKELY DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION AFTER ENGINE REBUILD). 4. BRAKES CONSTANTLY SQUEAK OR MAKE GRINDING NOISE WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED. WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 50 DEGREES, A HIGH PITCHED WHINNING NOISE IS HEARD FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. CAN ONLY BE HEARD WHEN TRAVELING UNDER 45 MPH - DUE TO ROAD NOISE MASKING THE SOUND. (MULTIPLE DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS NOR BE ABLE TO FIX IT, SO CONSTANTLY WHINES). 5. FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES WHEN 3/4 FULL (DROPS TO EMPTY AND FUEL LIGHT TURNS ON, THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL READING. WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS UNTIL TANK IS 1/4 FULL). TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. 6. TRANSMISSION IS OCCASIONALLY ROUGH (JERKY SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS).*JB

FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. AS A RESULT: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, THEREFORE I CAN NOT PASS EMISSIONS TEST IN MY STATE. I AM ALSO CONSTANTLY RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THE SENDING UNIT IS NECESSARY FOR CORRECT GAUGE READINGS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT THE WORST TIME FOR ME AS A SINGLE MOTHER SUFFERING FROM JOB LOSSES IN THE STATE OF GOERGIA. THE ESTIMATES TO REPAIR THE FUEL SYSTEM HAS AVERAGED 700.00 DOLLARS I AM ALSO FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION THAT SLIPS TOO. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR WITH OUT A LOT OF EXTRA EFFORT. THERE ARE TIMES I HAVE TO TAKE BACK ROADS AND ACCESS ROADS JUST BECAUSE I WAS NEARLY HIT SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO ACCESS THE EXPRESS WAY. SUV'S ARE HORRENDOUS IN GAS MILEAGE BUT A SUV WITH A SLIPPING TRANSMISSION IS BURNING EVEN MORE GAS! I AM STILL TRYING TO PAY FOR THE CAR AND CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS. I WISH I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT AN IMPORT. I HAVE MET QUITE A FEW JEEP OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS.*JB

WHILE DEPRESSING ON THE BRAKES CONSUMER HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK THE CONSUMER HAS THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED. *NM

BRAKE ROTORS CONTINUALLY WRAP. WRAPED AT 10,000, 18,000 27,000, AND NOW AGAIN AT 38,000. CHYRSLER REFUSES TO ADMIT TO A PROBLEM. FRONT ROTORS REPLACE BY RECALL AND ALSO HAVE WRAPED. SERVICE BULLITEN WAS ALSO PERFORMED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND STILL FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED.

VEHICLE MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE. NOISE APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM AREA OF FRONT PASSENGER TIRE AREA....MY MECHANIC HAS REPLACED THE SHOCKS, CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS AND TRANSMISSION MOUNT STRAP AND TRACK BAR BUSHINGS....THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN NORTH CHARLESTON, SC HAS REPLACED THE SWAY BAR LINKS AND BASICALLY REBUILT THE REAR END....STILL KNOCKING PERSISTS. JEEP ADVISES NOISE IS NORMAL...I DISAGREE. JEEP WORKED ON THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO...MY MECHANIC IN JANUARY OF 2003. KNOCKING ONLY OCCURS OVER LIGHT BUMPS, ROUGHNESS IN ROAD...OR ON DIRT ROADS. KNOCKING ESPECIALLY LOUD WHEN TURNING A CORNER. WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS. ALSO, IN MORNINGS ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD OUTSIDE WHEN YOU PUT JEEP INTO REVERSE A LOUD WHINING NOISE COMING FROM REAR. HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED, BUT DID NOT HELP.

THE VEHICLES' REAR END PINION GEAR IS MAKING A NOISE. THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THEY WERE GOING BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR THE ENTIRE REAR END NEEDS TO BE RE BUILT. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS

THE GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS. (OFTEN STOPS AND DROPS TO EMPTY, CAUSES LOW FUEL LIGHT TO SIGNAL-UNTIL THE GAUGE RETURNS TO IT'S PROPER READING, THIS OCCURS WHEN THE TANK IS ABOUT THREE QUARTERS FULL, AND WILL READ EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL) SCC

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON EVEN THOUGH BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING DEPRESSED.

WHILE DRIVING THE HOOD WILL POP UP CAUSING LOST OF VISIBILITY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. PH

BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD, ALLOWING EXHAUST GASES TO EXIT EXHAUST SYSTEM. ALLOWING GASES TO ENTER PASSENGER COMPARTMENT POSSIBLY CAUSING DEATH FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THIS MANIFOLD. AT A COST OF $1127.00 EACH TIME.

FUEL GAUGE - VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF FUEL AT 1/4 TANK MARKER. TS

RE: 00V136000 YOU IMPLEMENTED A RECALL THAT INCLUDED 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES IN CERTAIN STATES. MY QUESTION IS WHY WAS DELAWARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL SINCE YOU HAVE PRACTICALLY EVERY STATE SURROUNDING DELAWARE INCLUDED? (IE. MARYLAND, NEW JERSEY, PA & NY.

TRANSMISSION HAD GREAT DIFFICULITY SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO THIRD GEAR AND WAS AFFIRMED BY 3 BUSINESSES THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS A FACTORY DEFECT. DT

WHILE DRIVING MY 10 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER TO SCHOOL I HANDED HER A WATER BOTTLE. THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTLE HIT THE RELEASE BUTTON OF HER SEAT BELT AND RELEASED THE BELT. I THOUGHT SHE MUST HAVE DONE IT AND A LECTURE FOLLOWED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING THE BELT FASTENED. I KNOW NOW HOWEVER THAT THE BOTTLE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE RELEASE WHEN IT HIT THE RELEASE BUTTON. THE BELT WAS REFASTENED AND NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT IT UPSET ME THAT THE BELT RELEASE WAS SO EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY RELEASE. DT

ROTORS REPLACED UNDER RECALL HAVE NOW FAILED IN LESS THAN 8000 MILES. DT

CONSUMER APPALLAED AT BUSINESS ETHICS OF DEALERSHIP DURING LINKAGES RECALL REPAIR.

I PUT THE JEEP IN "PARK" WALKED TO THE BACK OF THE AUTO, WHEN IT WENT INTO REVERSE. IT RAN OVER MY FOOT, DRAGGING ME UNDER THE CAR, AND PROCEEDED TO RUN UP MY BODY AND OFF MY SHOULDER. DT

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED FOR OTHER ISSUES, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS HAD CRUMBLED INTO PIECES WHEN THEY WERE REMOVED. TS *JB

NO SUMMARY. DT

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE CONSUMER HAS RECEIVED NOTIFICATIONS CONCERNING A RECALL REGARDING A SECONDARY DETENT SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLES FLOOR SHIFTER. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL AND THAT NO MODIFICATIONS WERE NEEDED. *JG *NLM

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER MADE A RIGHT TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, WHICH CAUSE LOST OF CONTROL AND RESULTED IN VEHICLE RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS

THE FRONT ROTORS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM RIGHT BEFORE 2000 MILES. THE DEALER HAVE CHANGED THEM ON TWO OR THREE TIMES IN THE PAST AND I HAVE THREE TIME. THE LAST TIME RECENTLY, I HAD TO CHANGE THE ROTORS THREE TIMES BEFORE I GOT SOME THAT WEREN'T WORPED. THEY ONLY LASTED FOR LESS THAN A MONTH BEFORE THEY WERE OVERHEATED AND WARPED AGAIN. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS ALL THE TIME FOR A PRODUCT THAT SHOULD BE BETTER THAN THAT. CHRYSLER HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE QUALITY ROTORS THAT WILL LAST. PRESENTLY, THE WARPED ROTORS ARE ON MY JEEP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAVE TRIED AFTER MARKET AND THEY ARE WORST. THANK YOU DT

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT KNOB WILL SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. CAUSING POWER FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR AND CAUSE AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MR THERE IS AN EXHAUST TYPE OF NOISE EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. *JG

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND NO WARNING THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE AIR BAG COULD BE INOPERATIVE IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT CAUSES FUEL GUAGE TO INDICATE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FUEL IN TANK THAN IS ACTUALLY PRESENT. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE ROADSIDE TWICE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. DT

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THERE ARE LOUD CLICKING NOISES COMING FROM THE COLUMN. HOWEVER, THERE ARE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITENS ON THIS ISSUE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

VEHICLE ACCELERATED FROM 70 MPH WHILE GOING DOWN INTERSTATE. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME. APPLYING BRAKES SLOWED VEHICLE DOWN BUT ENGINE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE COULDN'T BE STOPPED WITH FULL PRESSURE APPLIED TO BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKE ALL THE WAY ON. HAD TO TURN KEY OFF AND STOP ENGINE. CRANKED ENGINE BACK UP AND EVERYTHING WORKED OK. THIS HAPPENED TO AN 18 YEAR OLD FEMALE AND WAS A VERY TRYING EXPERIENCE. LUCKILY SHE HANDLED EVERYTHING PROPERLY, BUT WAS QUITE SHAKEN UP BY THE INCIDENCE.

THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK (OR SO I THOUGHT) AND IDLED BACKWARDS OVER A MEDICAN IN A PARKING LOT WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THEIR SEATS. FORTUNATELY, I CAUGHT UP TO THE VEHICLE, JUMPED IN AND PUT MY HAND ON THE BRAKE. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH FROM THE MANUFACTURER STATING THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WOULD BE RECALLING THE JEEP WHEN THE PARTS WERE MADE AVAILABLE. AFTER THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED, I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE NEAREST JEEP DEALER AND NEITHER WERE HELPFUL IN GUIDING ME TO GETTING THIS ALREADY IDENTIFIED PROBLEM. THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THE VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN FORMALLY RECALLED, I WAS TOLD. THE PROBLEM IS, MY VEHICLE DID ROLL BACKWARDS WITH TWO CHILDREN IN IT AND FOR A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT TO OCCUR IS OBVIOUSLY PREVENTABLE IF SOMEONE WOULD MAKE THE PARTS ACCESSIBLE AND THE DEALER WOULD PROVIDE THE SERVICE. I AM UNABLE TO GET ANYWHERE ON MY OWN. SO I WAS HOPING I COULD GET SOME HELP THIS WAY. THANK YOU, [XXX].

THE TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING AND HAS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF FAILING IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR FACILITY.

REAR PARKING BRAKE SHOES SEEM TO "FALL OFF" OF BACKING PLATES. I DISCUSSED THIS WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO OWN THE SAME VEHICLE, AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY SERVICE ADVISOR STATED HE HAS SEEN THIS ON OTHER VEHICLES, AS WELL AS A DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. ONCE THE SHOW SEPARATES INSIDE THE REAR BRAKE, THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. DAIMERCHRYSLER STATES IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE BRAKES. IF A CONSUMER DOES NOT KNOW THAT HIS PARKING BRAKE IS INOPERATIVE, IT COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT.*AK

THE FLEXIBLE RUBBER BOOTS WHICH SEAL THE FRONT CV JOINTS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED CRACKS AFTER ONLY 38000 MILES. THE CRACKS RESULT IN SAND AND DEBRIS COLLECTING IN THE DRIVE SHAFTS OF THE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. THE LEFT SIDE HAS DEVELOPED THE MOST SEVERE DAMAGE, BUT A DEALER REPAIR SHOP HAS INDICATED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE HAS ALSO DEVELOPED SOME DAMAGE. MY MAIN CONCERN HERE IS NOT JUST THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE BUT ALSO THE INEVITABLE REOCCURRING COST. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED A MINIMUM OF $350.00 TO REPAIR THE BOOTS. THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THAT BOTH, THE FRONT BOOTS AND AXLE ASSEMBLIES BE REPLACED, WHICH WOULD BE A MINIMUM COST OF $425.00. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. WHEN I PURCHASED IT FROM HIM, I MET WITH HIM AT HIS PLACE OF BUSINESS AND TALKED WITH HIM AND SEVERAL OF HIS EMPLOYEES. EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE OWNER HIMSELF, EMPHATICALY STATED THAT HE (THE OWNER) IN NO WAY HAS MISUSED THER VEHICLE OR HAS EVER TAKEN IT OFF THE ROAD. I THOUROGHLY DISCUSSED THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND I HAD CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS NO ABUSE OR NEGLECT. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. I MYSELF ALSO HAD NOT EVEN USED THE VEHICLE ON ANYTHING BUT A PAVED ROAD. THEREFORE, IF THIS OCCURS SO EASILY AFTER ONLY 38000 MILES OR PERHAPS EVEN SOONER, FROM CASUAL DRIVING, THEN IT IS NOT FEASABLE FOR ME TO EVEN KEEP THE VEHICLE, OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF CHRYSLER HAS A FIX FOR THIS PROBL
