I PULLED OUT OF A GAS STATION ONTO A MAJOR BUSY STREET AND ACCELERATED THE CAR AND PASSED A MAJOR BUSY INTERSECTION. AS I ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE, I HEARD A LOUD BOOM COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND WAS STARTLED BY THE LOUD BOOM. AS I PASSED THE INTERSECTION I NOTICED THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHATSOEVER(IT LOCKED UP). I TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT PASSING SOME PARKED VEHICLES ON THE STREET & THERE WERE A LOT OF VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I MANAGED TO MOVE THE CAR TO THE RIGHT, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WITHOUT HITTING A PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE OF THE CAR CRASHED INTO THE CURB AND STOPPED. THE CAR WAS PARKED AT AN ANGLE NOT PARALLEL TO THE CURB AND I WAS AFRAID THAT SOME OTHER CAR MIGHT HIT ME FROM BEHIND BECAUSE OF THE WAY MY CAR WAS STOPPED. I WAS SHAKEN UP A LOT AND WHEN FINALLY GOT OUT OF THE CAR I SAW FLUIDS LEAKING OUT FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR ONTO THE STREET. A COUPLE OF PEOPLE CAME OUT OF A BUSINESS STOREFRONT AND SAW THE FLUIDS LEAKING OUT FAST ONTO THE STREET.ONE GUY SAID THAT WAS OIL LEAKING AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ELSE. IT WAS ALREADY DARK (AROUND 5 P.M. PST).I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND BOTH MY HUSBAND & MY BROTHER CAME TO THE LOCATION TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND BOTH COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY OIL WAS LEAKING. THE CAR COULD NOT START AND A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED AND TOWED THE CAR TO A JEEP DEALER (WHERE WE NORMALLY HAVE THE CAR SERVICED) IN ALHAMBRA.THE FOLLOWING DAY THE JEEP DEALER'S MECHANICS EXAMINED THE VEH

RECENTLY ON 12-17-2001 THE PROBLEM CONTINUES, 28000 MI. HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT COVER ANY REPAIRS AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST. WHEN PROBLEM ORIGIONLLY STARTED I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT DUE TO CHANGES IN BRAKE PAD MAKEUP THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE NORMAL AND TO EXPECT IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO CHANGE MY DRIVING HABITS. (I DO NOT RIDE THE BRAKES). ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE WASHING THEIR HANDS TO THIS.*AK

I STARTED MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN THE MORNING TO WARM UP. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, BUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ON. I WENT BACK INSIDE MY HOUSE WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS WARMING. WHEN I WENT BACK OUT TO MY VEHICLE I NOTICED IT WAS NO LONGER IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MY NEIGHBORS YARD! I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT IN THE VEHICLE TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE YARD, IT WAS IN REVERSE. LUCKILY IT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE IT UP THE BANK OF THE YARD OR IT WOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE. NO ONE WAS INJURED NOR WAS THERE ANY DAMAGE TO THE JEEP. IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK AND SLIPPED INTO REVERSE ON ITS OWN. I AM 100% SURE OF THIS!! I BOUGHT THE CAR BC I WANTED SOMETHING SAFE TO HAUL MY FAMILY AROUND IN...WE JUST HAD OUR FIRST CHILD. NOW, AFTER THIS INCIDENT, I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL. MY WIFE IS EXTREMELY AFRAID OF IT NOW ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE A NEWBORN...NOTHING LIKE MAKING A HUGE CAR PAYMENT FOR SOMETHING THAT DRIVES ITSELF. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE NET AND IT APPEARS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THE FIGURES ARE NOW APPROACHING 1000 REPORTS OF THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. I LIKE THE JEEP, I WISH SOMETHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IF NOTHING IS DONE BY CHRYSLER IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS I AM GOING TO SELL IT BC MY WIFE WON'T EVEN RIDE IN THE CAR ANYMORE..ESPECIALLY WITH THE BABY. IF I DO SELL THE VEHICLE, I HOPE IT DOES NOT INJURE OR KILL OF THE NEW BUYER!! CHRYSLER HAS PROBLEM, THEY NEED TO FIX IT BEFOR

VEHICLE'S HOOD CAME CRASHING DOWN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING ON MY HEAD WHILE I WAS TRYING TO CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL. DEALER'S REPRESENTATIVE RATHER NON-CHALANT ABOUT IT. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES AS HOOD IS HEAVY AND BULKY. I RARELY CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. DEALER'S SERVICE PEOPLE HAVE LIFTED THE HOOD A LOT MORE THAN I HAVE HAD DURING SERVICING. IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. TOLD TO USE BROOM HANDLE TO PROP HOOD UP LIKE THE SERVICE TECHS DO AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE SHOULD BE A FIX AND RECALL OF DEFECTIVE PARTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DEALER SERVICE PERSONNEL ARE USING BROOM STICKS TO PROP THE HOOD UP TO PREVENT THE SUDDEN DROPPING OF THE HOOD.*AK

WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE INTO REVERSE FROM PARK, THE ENGINE MAKES A VERY LOUD METAL TO METAL SOUND. DEALER SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM SO THERE WAN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THE LAST TIME, THE POWER COMPLETELY FAILED ON THE VEHICLE.

POWER STEERING FAILED AND VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. *AK

IN MARCH OF 2001, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A SEVERE SHAKING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AT BETWEEN 45-55 MPH. NOT BEING ONE TO TAKE CHANCES, I TOOK MY JEEP IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THEY SAID THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED RESURFACING. THIS WAS DONE AT A COST OF OVER $200. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP, THINKING THAT THEY MIGHT DO A BETTER JOB OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. THEY AGAIN RESURFACED THE ROTORS FOR $300+. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS UNTIL NOVEMBER, WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY AS SHE WAS UNAWARE OF HOW THE BRAKES WOULD REACT. THIS TIME THEY SAID ALL MY BRAKES - FRONT AND BACK WERE SHOT AND I HAD THEM REPLACED AT A COST OF $600+. AT NO TIME DID CHRYSLER EVER MENTION THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING WRONG. I ENDED UP TURNING THE VEHICLE BACK IN 4 MONTHS EARLY BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN AND I HAD NO CONFIDENCE THAT IT WOULDN'T. I THOUGHT I JSUT HAD BAD LUCK UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS ON THE WEB AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AMONGST OTHER THINGS THAT HAD GONE WRONG WITH MY JEEP. THIS WAS THE MOST SERIOUS OF THOSE PROBLEMS BOTH SAFETY-WISE AND MONETARILY-WISE.*AK

FRONT OEM ROTORS WARPED AFTER 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP AND 7,000 MILES OF DRIVING. DEALER ADMITTED ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH ROTORS WARPING ON GRAND CHEROKEES. REFUSED TO REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD ONLY PERFORM REPAIRS WITH OEM PARTS. ROTORS SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED WITH AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE PARTS. MANUFACTURER BLAMES FAILURES ON WEIGHT OF VEHICLE AND DRIVING CONDITIONS. I'VE OWNED TWO SIMILAR WEIGHT FORD EXPLORERS DRIVEN UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS FOR A COMBINED 200,000 MILES WITH NO ROTOR PROBLEMS.*AK

BRAKES ON MY JEEP HAVE BEEN A CHRONIC PROBLEM IN THAT THEY WEAR UNEVENLY AND THIS RESULTS IN A PULSING STOPPING ACTION. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS CALLED "BRAKE FADE." THE DEALER HAS REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES AND ADVISES THAT IT IS CHARACTERISTIC OF VEHICLES WITH FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. HOWEVER, I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE AN ACCEPTABLE CONDITION THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO BEAR FROM A SAFETY AND COST STANDPOINT. THIS PROBLEM AROSE EARLY ON IN THE LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE AND CONTINUES TO RECUR. SOME REPAIRS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT MORE RECENT REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN COVERED. DEALER'S ATTITUDE IS GOOD, BUT I WONDER IF CHRYSLER HAS MANY MORE OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.*AK

DURING ACTIVATION OF BRAKE SYSTEM TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED THERE IS A PULSATION IN THE BRAKES, THERE IS A SQUEAKING NOISE, AND VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED VEHICLE THREE TIMES, AND FAILED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. BRAKE ROTORS AND FRONT STABILIZER BARS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.*AK CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS ALSO A POSSIBLE OIL LEAK, DEALER REPLACED THE TIE ROD TO PITMAN ARM AND THE REAL PINION SEAL, ALSO THE STEERING DAMPNER ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED,AND THE ENGINE SURGES AT TIMES SOMETIMES HESITATES, ALSO THERE WAS A LEAK BEHIND THE DRIVER/REAR FLOORBOARD.

CONSUMER WENT OUT TO START THE VEHICLE AND STOOD ON OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE, AND IT STARTED GRADUALLY ROLLING BACK IN REVERSE, HITTING PARKING GATE. CONSUMER WILL HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT.*AK

WHILE AT A STOP APPLIED BRAKES, CONSUMER HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. THEN, VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. CONSUMER KEPT FOOT ON BRAKE, BUT COULD NOT STOP VEHICLE. HE HAD TO SHUT OFF ENGINE. VEHICLE AT DEALER AT THIS TIME. *AK DEALER STATES THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. *SLC

ROTORS WARPED EVERY 6-8000 MILES REPEATEDLY, ROTORS REPLACED EACH TIME BY DEALER BUT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. DEALER NOW ASKS FOR "CUSTOMER PARTICIPATION" TO REPLACE ROTORS AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH HE MAKES NO ASSURANCES THAT THESE ROTORS WILL LAST LONGER THAN THE OLD ONES.*AK

BRAKE ROTORS HAVE FAILED SEVEN TIMES SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. THE DEALERSHIP HAS EITHER TURNED OR REPLACED THE ROTORS SIX TIMES. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOW BEYOND 36,000 MILES, THE DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBELM (AT NO CHARGE). PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE REACHING 36,000 MILES, I ASKED IF THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS BEYOND 36,0000 MILES AND WAS ASSURED THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM SHOULD IT ARRISE AGAIN. SUCH IS NOT THE CASE. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN A CHRONIC PROBLEM. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THE ROTORS HAVE NEVER BEEN FIXED CORRECTLY, OTHERWISE, I WOULDN'T CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURES.*AK

AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED INTO HOUSE DECK . DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK *SLC
