NHTSA has conducted extensive analysis of the data regarding fuel tank integrity for the model year (MY) 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee (JGC). As a result of that work, the agency has decided to upgrade its safety defect investigation to an Engineering Analysis and to expand the scope of vehicles included in the investigation. NHTSA's assessment of the data collected during this investigation indicates that rear-impact-related tank failures and vehicle fires are more prevalent in the JGC than in the non-Jeep peer vehicles. In addition, the agency's analysis of its FARS data for the peer …

In a letter dated October 2, 2009, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) petitioned NHTSA to open a defect investigation and recall model year 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees.CAS alleged that the subject vehicles have defective fuel tank storage systems that present a fire hazard in crashes. CAS alleged that the plastic fuel tank's placement behind the rear axle and below the rear bumper, and the lack of adequate shielding, make it more vulnerable to rupture or leakage from a rear-impact by another vehicle (including damage from other components located on the Grand Cherokee), or in the case of …

YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG ON A HIGHWAY DOING 70 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR STARTS STOPPING THIS TIME YOU BARELY GET ONTO THE SHOULDER. OR, YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG THE CAR STOPS YOU PUT ON YOUR FLASHERS AND YOU HEAR THE TRUCKS BEHIND YOU BREAKING AND SLIDING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS IN MOTION AT LEAST TEN OF THE TIMES THE JEEP DECIDED TO STOP. I HAVE HAD MY GRANDS IN THERE ALL UNDER FIVE WHEN WE ALMOST DIED BUT BECAUSE I AM ON A FIXED INCOME WITH A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT YOU SWEAR BY I AM JUST OUT OF LUCK AS YOUR DEALERS ALL SAY THEY DO NOT FIX ANYTHNG THAT OLD I AM GUESSING, AS THEY COULD ONLY FIX IT FOR TEN YEARS IT SHOULD HAVE ONLY LASTED TEN YEARS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WAITING FOR A TOW FOR SEVEN HOURS WHEN I FINALLY CALLED MY SON TO PICK UP HIS CHILDREN AND I HAD TO STAY ANOTHER FOUR HOURS ON MARCH 15, 2020. FINALLY GOT IT TOWED TO HIS HOUSE WHERE IT STILL SITS AS EVERYONE OF YOUR DEALERSHIPS HAVE REASONS FOR WHY THEY DO NOT FIX CARS OVER TEN YEARS OLD. PERHAPS PART OF YOUR MARKETING SHOULD SAY AFTER TEN YEARS YOU SHOULD THROW IT AWAY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT.

TAKATA RECALL....MY DASH BOARD "AIR BAG" WARNING RED LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND NOONE KNOWS WHY! IS IT BECAUSE MY AIR BAGS ARE TAKATA? I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY HAVE NEVER POPPED OUT! HOW DOES ONE KNOW THEIR STATUS ON THIS 1999 JEEP?

1ST ISSUE IS THE SEAT BELT BUCKLES ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DISENGAGE. THEY HANG UP SO BAD OUR 10 YR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER NEEDS HELP TO REMOVE THE BELT. THE BELT FOR THE DRIVER HAS SAME ISSUE TO WHERE IT IS EVEN DIFFICULT FOR AN ADULT TO GET IT TO UNLATCH. 2ND ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD WHEN COLD. WHEN IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A FEW MILES IT SHIFTS NORMAL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS HAVE. IT IS A NOTED PROBLEM IN OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE 42RE TRANSMISSION. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED SINCE IT IS SO WIDE SPREAD.

AT APPROXIMATELY 137,000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME SNAPPED AT TWO POINTS, CAUSING THE SEAT TO ROCK FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN ENTERING/EXITING AND WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS. SINCE IT IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE FRAME AT THAT POINT, IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. I WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL WHEN THE SEAT GAVE WAY AND STARTED MOVING.

MOTOR KEEPS STALLING WHILE DRIVING OR IDLE. THIS IS UNSAFE.. MY LIFE IS ON THE LINE. REPLACED ALL PARTS THAT DEAL WITH ISSUES AND ISSUES ARE STILL THERE. .. RECALL AND FIX ISSUES....

MY VEHICLE STALLS OUT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED TURNING OFF OF AN OFF RAMP FROM THE FREEWAY AND WHILE DRIVING STRAIT DOWN A CITY STREET. ALSO A COUPLE OF TIME I PARKED AND TURNED IT OFF AND IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON FOR 10-15 MINS. ALL THE INCIDENTS OF STALLING OUT, AFTER I WAIT 10-15 MINS IT WILL START BACK UP. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH.

VEHICLE STALL'S WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED, OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE...ENGINE TEMPERATURE ETC. ON SOME OCCASIONS IF I SLIP IT INTO NEUTRAL I CAN RESTART BUT MOSTLY I HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND WAIT A FEW MIN AND THEN IT STARTS...THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE PCM, CEL, RELAYS, STARTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, FUEL FILTER (IN-LINE), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS, TUNE UP, OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACED...DEALER AND MY REGULAR GARAGE ARE STUMPED. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON FORMS ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE!!! IT SEEMS TO ME THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH NO FOREWARNING THE GAUGES SLING CW THEN CCW TO ZERO RPM AND ZERO MPH ALTHOUGH STILL COATING AT HWY SPEED YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING THE CAR IS OFF...NOTE IT CAN STALL JUST AFTER STARTING WHILE STATIONARY OR MOVING OR 1/2HR LATER OR MORE I MIGHT STOP FOR SOMETHING (GAS, GROCERIES ETC) CAR RUNNING GREAT COME BACK TO THE CAR AND IT WONT START...IIT SEEMS TOTALLY RANDOM! NOTE THIS 1ST STARTED @ 140000 MILES AND IS STILL OCCURRING 5000 MILES LATER... SOMETIME IT WILL DRIVE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS SOMETIME IT STALLED AT LEAST ONCE WHILE DRIVING...

BOTH FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS AND LEFT REAR CALIPER SEIZED CAUSING OVERHEATING TO THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM. IT ALSO CAUSED ROTOR DAMAGE,DISC DAMAGE AND BRAKE PAD DAMAGE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I AM NOT SURE IF IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING OR STATIONARY. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY PADS ONCE A YEA SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE REPLACED THE HUBS DISCS AND ROTATERSTWICE. I AM PREPARING TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WILL ALSO REPLACE THE RUBBER BRAKE LINES. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE IS A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IN MY OPINION IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE FROM THIS DEFECT.

I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND HEARD A STRANGE SCRAPING SOUND, WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THE GAS TANK WAS LITERALLY FALLING OFF THE CAR. THE SKIDPLATE/SUPPORT WAS ROTTED AWAY AND ONLY THE BACK PORTION OF IT WAS HOLDING THE GAS TANK UP. COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM IF I DIDN'T NOTICE THE SCRAPING SOUND AND CHECK BEFORE I DROVE IT ANYMORE.

MY COMPLAINT INVOLVING MY VEHICLE AND ITS NOW DEFECTED PARTS OR UNSAFE STATUS TO OPERATE IS DUE TO MECHANICAL WORKMANSHIP. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 3 YEARS AGO. NEVER HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT AND MAINTAINED IT WELL AND REGULAR TUNE-UPS. I INVESTED IN BUYING ALL PARTS NEEDED AS TIME WELL WARE AND TARE. IM NOT TOO FAMILIAR WITH AUTO PARTS OR WORK BUT AS IM PUTTING MORE MONEY INTO "NEW PARTS" MY CAR SEEMS TO SLOWLY CONTINUE TO FAIL. ALL I KNOW IS I RELIED ON CERTAIN MECHANICS TO IMPROVE THE CONDITION OF MY CAR. I HAD A OPERABLE VEHICLE UNTIL I DROVE INTO THIS AUTO SHOP AND LEFT HAVING TO TOW IT OUT. I SIMPLY ASKED TO CHANGE FRONT BRAKE PADS, ROTERS, AND IGNITION SWITCH (ELECTRICAL PART). IM TOLD TO PURCHASE OTHER PARTS THAT INCLUDE SCREWS, STEERING COLUMN, AND KEY LOCKSMITH/ FEES. NOTHING GOT RESOLVED AND ELECTRICAL EVERYTHING STOPS WORKING. JEEPS FRONT DRIVER TIRE STAYS ON A FLAT AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT CAN FIX THIS. THE MECHANIC SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FINALLY SEEMED TO HAVE IT FIGURED OUT. $50 WAS THE PRICE I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE LEFT WITH. AFTER RUNNING TEST AND DIAGNOSTICS, PRICES CHANGED AND MORE WORK WAS NEEDED. ITS BEEN A LITTLE OVER 2 MONTHS SINCE IVE BEEN WITHOUT. NOW IM TOLD I NEED TO PAY IN FULL $1500 BEFORE THEY WILL WORK ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVENT BEEN OFFERED A RENTAL MUCHLESS BEEN SATISFIED WITH THE WORK DONE. I FEEL LIKE MY CAR HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF PAID PARTS. IVE LOOKED ONLINE FOR ADVICE AND HELP AS WHAT I SHOULD D

I HAVE OWNED 8 JEEPS AND NOW HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DEALERSHIPL MAINTAINED GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4.7L IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH A BAD ENGINE. AT 100K A ROD BEARING WENT BAD AND AFTER THAT WAS FIXED BY ME WITH GREAT EXPENSE IT NOW SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH LOW COMPRESSION AND WILL NOT START. I HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF ADS WITH BLOWN ENGINES JUST IN MY AREA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME COMMON DESIGN FLAWS IN THE 4.7L THAT CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS BEEN HIDING AND WE THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR IT. DEALERS DENY ANY PROBLEMS BUT YET ON ANY GIVEN DAY THE CLASSIFIES ARE FULL OF THEM. I LOVE THE VEHICLE IN GENERAL THAT'S WHY I HAVE OWNED SO MANY BUT FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND CAN'T AFFORD TO DRIVE A CHRYSLER PIECE OF CRAP ANYMORE. I WAS STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY LIKE MANY OF US WERE AND PUT IN A PERILOUS SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF IT WITH FAMILY IN THE CAR PLUS I WAS ON CRUTCHES . CHRYSLER SHOULD BEING OFFERING ASSISTANCE BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULTS. I ALSO JUST GOT DONE REPAIRING THE FAULTY BLEND DOOR BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF VISIBILITY.

THE OTHER DAY IT STARTED TO SHAKE SO BAD THAT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND ALMOST HIT THE CEMENT GUARD RAIL. I HAVE TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN FROM TIME TO TIME AND GOD FORBID ANYTHING HAPPEN TO THEM CHRYSLER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS ISSUE IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE AND IS THE PERFECT NAME FOR IT. THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRIC SYSTEM IS BAD AND JEEPS ARE KNOWN FOR THE BAD BELTS

THE JEEP ENGINE SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS OCCURS AFTER APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT CAN HAPPEN DURING HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY 60 + MPH OR DURING IDLE WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I HAD TO AVOID SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE JEEP MIGHT START IMMEDIATELY AFTER A SHORT WAIT, OR CAN TAKE A DAY AND START WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE GAUGES GO OFF, WITH THE FUEL SHOWING EMPTY, THEN THE ENGINE SIMPLY CUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. YOU LOSE ALL POWER, BRAKES, STEERING ETC... THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO BE DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITHOUT CHRYSLER STEPPING FORWARD TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CORRECTIONS THAT MIGHT EVENTUALLY SAVE LIVES. IT DOES THIS PROBLEM, WHETHER YOU ARE IDLE CONDITION, MAKING A TURN, TRAVELING A SHORT DISTANCE OR ON THE HIGHWAY IN A MIDDLE LANE SURROUNDED IN TRAFFIC DOING 65. THE WEATHER ALSO HAS NO EFFECT AS IT HAS OCCURRED DURING WARMER WEATHER AND COOLER WEATHER. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AS I RECENTLY AVOIDED A REAR END COLLISION.

THE DRIVER SEAT CAME OFF TRACK OR BROKE I'VE FIXED IT A FEW TIMES BUT I THINK ITS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I GET INTO A WREAK I'M NOT PROTECTED MY SEAT IS ALMOST IN THE BACK SEAT ALREADY LAYING ON THE CAR SEAT OF MY KID, IT MOVES WHEN I TURN OR BREAK, SO IF I GET HIT I'M GOING TO BE THROWN OUT OF MY SEAT AND OR CAR I'VE ALREADY GOT TO TAKE IT TO GET HE GAS TANK ISSUE FIXED, THE TAIL LIGHTS NOT WORKING RIGHT I'VE GOTTEN A FEW TICKETS FOR THAT NOW THIS I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE SO I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

MY FUEL TANK SHIELD RUSTED OUT AND THE FUEL TANK FELL OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HEARD A DRAGGING SOUND AND PULLED IN A PARKING LOT AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER JEEP, I SEEN THAT MY FUEL TANK FELL OUT PARTIALLY ON ONE SIDE, WHILE THE OTHER SIDE WAS HELD UP WITH THE REST OF THE RUST SHIELD PLATE. LOOKS LIKE NOTHING IS HOLDING IT IN PLACE OTHER THEN THE SHIELD PLATE. READ UP ON SOME FORUMS AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CONSEQUENTLY CRASHED INTO A TREE.

WHEN DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH OR ABOVE, AND HAVING TO BRAKE, THE JEEP IMMEDIATELY GOES INTO A TERRIFYING DEATH WOBBLE. WE'VE TRAINED OURSELVES TO DOWN SHIFT, TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN (IT'S AN AUTOMATIC). BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE DO HAVE TO SUDDENLY HIT THE BRAKE BECAUSE THE DOWN SHIFTING DOESN'T SLOW US DOWN ENOUGH, AND THE JEEP ALWAYS GOES INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE. LUCKILY WE HAVE NOT FLIPPED IT YET. WE'VE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH NEW ROTTERS, BRAKE PADS, WHEEL ALIGNMENT, ETC (THE JEEP IS NOT LIFTED, IT IS STOCK). NOTHING HAS CURED IT. THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

I WAS DRIVING AND A STEEL PLATE FELL OFF FROM THE CENTER OF THE SKID PLATE THAT PROTECTS MY FUEL TANK 2 DAYS LATER I RECIVED A RECALL ABOUT PUTTING A HITCH ON TO PROTECT MY FUEL TANK I CAN SEE MY TANK IS EXPOSED A HITCH WELL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM I NEED A SKID PLATE TO PROTECT MY FUEL TANK NOT A HITCH SHOULD I RETAIN A LAWER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT OPERATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED ON. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE EXAMINED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

I WOULD HAVE PUT IGNIOTION/KEY AS THE AFFECTED PARTS, BUT THAT'S NOT AN OPTION. SO I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND ALL OF SUDDEN IT JUST STOPS RUNNING. LITERALLY ON SOUTHFIELD ROAD. THINK IT WAS JUST A FLUKE I CONTINUED TO TRY AND DRIVE IT. BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. BUT NOW, IT TURNS OFF AT A LIGHT, DURING A TURN, GOING 25MPH, 45MPH... BASICALLY WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE. I HAVE A SON THAT IS A PERMIT ONLY DRIVER, AND CAN'T ALLOW HIM FOR SAFETY REASONS TO BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I WENT TO THE MECHANIC AND THIS IS WHAT I WAS TOLD, THERE IS A PART IN THE IGNITION SYSTEM THAT SENDS A SIGNAL TO THE CHIP IN THE KEY. WHEN THAT STOPS SENDING THE SIGNAL THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. GREAT ANTI-THEFT IDEA! IT'S SO DANGEROUS. MECHANIC SAYS THE PART IS $100+ AND THEN THE ORIGINAL KEYS 'MAY NOT' REPROGRAM, WHICH MEANS AN EXTRA $60 PER KEY, PLUS PROGRAMMING. THERE IS A REASON THE DEALER KEEPS IT IN STOCK, GOTTA KNOW IT FAILS. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DECIDED TO STOP RUNNING ON THE EXPRESSWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY AS IT DECELERATED AND EMITTED AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

OUT OF KNOW WHERE THE ENGINE JUST STARTED KNOCKING, AND THE SMELL OF GAS AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED ACTING OUT OF CONTROL. I HAD TO PARK IT AND GET ANOTHER CAR. BUT I STILL HAVE IT BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE MY JEEP!

VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLS AND DIES AT LOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS. ENGINE WILL SHUDDER BRIEFLY AND SHUTOFF. STALLING WILL OCCUR WHEN STOPPED OR SPEEDS RANGING FROM 1 TO 40 MPH. WHEN VEHICLE STALLS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL RESET AND POWER STEERING FAILS. RESTART IS SOMETIMES ACHIEVABLE IMMEDIATELY, BUT MORE OFTEN TAKES A MINIMUM OF 30 SECONDS AND UP TO SEVERAL MINUTES. ISSUE SEEMS UNAFFECTED BY OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. ENGINE FAILURE OFTEN OCCURS WITHIN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, BUT HAS OCCURRED AT GREATER TIME INTERVALS. SPARK PLUGS, SPARK PLUG WIRES, IGNITION ROTOR, AND UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS HAS CAUSED NEAR ACCIDENTS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS ISSUE IS PERSISTENT AND ONGOING. *TR
