PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE DATA BELOW. I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS ABOUT THE FUEL TANK MOUNTED DEFECT AND IGNITION SWITCHED THAT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVEN. MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL THE ISSUE AS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS REGARDING MY JEEP INCLUDING THE HEADLIGHTS ISSUE. ON JANUARY 21, 2015 I HAVE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION REGARDING THE RECALLS AND PER LYNN THE RECALLS WERE ONLY FOR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FROM 1993-1998 AND LIBERTYS FROM 2002-2007 BUT THE REPORTS STATES "ADDITIONALLY, CHRYSLER ALSO AGREES TO CONDUCT A SERVICE ACTION FOR 1.14 MILLION JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FOR MODEL YEARS 1999-2004." MY UNCLE HAS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND HIS VEHICLE HAS A TRAILER HITCH TO PROTECT THE GAS TANK. I HAVE NOTICE SEVERAL MODELS FROM 1999-2004 JEEPS WITH TRAILER HITCH MOUNTED TO THE VEHICLE. THERE IS CONTROVERSY ABOUT THE TRAILER HITCH MODIFICATION TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BUT I WOULD FEEL SAFER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IF A TRAILER HITCH WAS INSTALLED AS CHRYSLER HAS COMMITTED TO THE PUBLIC. NOVEMBER 2009: CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY SUBMITS FORMAL REQUEST ASKING NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO INVESTIGATE 1993-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S WITH FUEL TANKS LOCATED BEHIND THE REAR AXLE. JUNE 18, 2013: CHRYSLER AGREES TO CONDUCT A SAFETY CAMPAIGN AND INSTALL TRAILER HITCHES ON 1.56 MILLION JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FROM 1993-98 AND JEEP LIBERTY SUVS FROM 2002-07. ADDITIONALLY, CHRYSLER ALSO AGREES TO CONDUCT A SERVICE ACTION FOR 1.14 MILLION JEEP

AGREE 100% WITH COMPLAINT 10422899 AND OTHERS. REPLACED BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY'S 3 TIMES ALREADY. PLASTIC AROUND CONTACTOR MELTS, METAL NO LONGER CONNECTS WITH BULB CONTACT PROPERLY. ISSUE IS CAUSING ALL KINDS OF SAFETY, FINANCIAL, LEGAL (TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS, POINTS ON DRIVERS LICENSE) PROBLEMS. INCLUDING NO BRAKE LIGHTS, NO WORKING DIRECTIONALS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. COSTLY. SEVERAL SAFETY VIOLATION WARNINGS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT. SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WITH POTENTIAL REAR COLLISION. OPERATOR NEVER KNOWS WHEN IT WILL OR HAS OCCURRED. THIS PROBLEM IS NEEDLESS AND RIDICULOUS. *TR

WENT TO BACK CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE, IT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND SHOT BACK APPROXIMATELY 60 YARDS, HIT OUR BASKETBALL POLE AND DAMAGED THE DRIVER DOOR AND RT. FRONT QUARTER PANEL. UNABLE TO STOP IT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE!!!! *TR

JUST ANOTHER RECALL ON THE GRAND CHEROKEE. HTTP://WWW.DAILYFINANCE.COM/2014/10/16/CHRYSLER-ALTERNATOR-MIRROR-RECALLS/?ICID=MAING-GRID7%7CHTMLWS-MAIN-BB%7CDL38%7CSEC1_LNK3%26PLID%3D546817 "PUBLISHED IN THE DAILY FINANCE". ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 I WROTE TO YOU REGARDING OUT 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND ALL THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE BEEN HAVING SINCE 2013. PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT. YOUR CONFIRMATION NUMBER (ODI NUMBER) IS: 10631491 NOW ONCE AGAIN THERE ARE MORE RECALLS, AND I/WE STILL OWN OUR 1999. I STILL DO BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEMS WITH THE 1999. JUST BECAUSE THE JEEP IS A 1999, DOES NOT MEAN THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIXING OF THIS CAR. WE JUST WANT IT FIXED, TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE. I STILL FEEL THEY SHOULD CARRY THE BURDEN OF THIS. NOT THE CONSUMER. *TR

I'M CONTINUING HAVING TO REPLACE THE LOCK ACTUATOR ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR & ALSO EACH DOOR LOCKS ON THE REMAINING DOORS. THIS HAS BEEN COSTLY & TIME CONSUMING AND NEEDLES TO SAY WITHOUT A VEHICLE. SOME OF MY FRIENDS HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS REGARDING THE LOCKS. HOPEFULLY I CAN GET YA'LL TO ASSIST WITH GETTING A RECALL FOR THESE LOCKS. ANY ASSISTANCE IS APPRECIATIVE. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS JEEP AND NOT EVEN A MONTH AFTER HAVING IT CUT OFF WITH DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL SAY I HAVE NO GAS AND THE TANK WILL BE FULL. AT TIMES IT WOULD START OTHER TIMES IT HAD TO BE TOWED (3 TIMES IN FACT). THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP 450.00 LATER STILL HAD THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY FOR THE JEEP TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN. I AM WONDERING HOW IS THERE NOT RECALL FOR THIS. AS I HAVE READ CLEARLY THIS IS NOT JUST MY JEEP. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. ANOTHER THING I ALSO NOTICE I CAN HIT A BUMP THEN IT BEEPS AND TELLS ME MY HOOD IS OPEN. WHICH IT IS NOT. I LOVE MY JEEP BUT CANT ENJOY IT BC SCARED THAT IT WILL CUT OFF AT ANYTIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS MALFUNCTIONED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

MANY TIMES IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO UNLATCH EITHER THE PASSENGER OR DRIVER SEAT BELT WITHOUT MUCH TUGGING AND PULLING. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. MY DEALER HAS NO RECOMMENDATION. WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL, USUALLY TO THE RIGHT, THE AIR BAG NOTIFICATION SIGNAL WILL COME ON, INDICATING THE AIR BAG IS NOT INFLATED PROPERLY. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL AND HAS QUOTED ME ABOUT $1000 TO REPAIR THIS SITUATION. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, AND THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIR BAG WAS DEPLOYED. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. *TR

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FRONT END SHAKE "DEATH WOBBLE" HE EXPERIENCED. *SMD THE CONSUMER IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT, FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING DAMPER, TIE ROD END, AND THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. *JB

FIRST INCIDENT ROUGH IDLING,SECOND INCIDENT TRYING TO QUIT ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN, THIRD INCIDENT ON MY WAY TO WORK. HAD OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACED 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THAT HAS STILL NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM ! COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S SPUTTERING TO QUIT ,! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE CAR SHUT OFF BY ITSELF WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THEN WITHIN 10 SECONDS, IT RESTARTS ITSELF. VERY SCARY... THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN 10 TIMES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY..IT ALSO HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES, ANYDAY, ANYTIME, ANY SPEED. SOMETIMES WHEN IT DIES, I HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL START UP AGAIN.... VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE GYM, AND WHILE I WAS SITTING AT THE LIGHT TO TURN THE TRUCK SPUTTERED. UPON ACCELERATING THROUGH THE LIGHT THE TRUCK STALLS OUT AND RESTARTS ITSELF. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. *TR

HELP! WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING RANDOM ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS FOR MORE THAN TWO (2) YEARS WITH NO END IN SIGHT. WE'VE GONE TO TWO (2) LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIPS AND SPENT MORE THAN $2,000.00 TO FIND AND REPAIR THE PROBLEMS ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS RETURN OVER AND OVER: 1.) ALL DASH / INSTRUMENTS AND LIGHTS SUCH AS THE CHECK ENGINE, CHECK GAUGES, SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER (INCLUDING THE AIR BAG) COME ON & STAY ON. 2.) THE FUEL & BATTERY GAUGES FLUCTUATE AND THEN THE GAUGES FAIL TO REGISTER.. 3.) THE WINDOWS, SUNROOF AND ALL DOORS OFTEN FAIL TO OPERATE... THE WINDOWS DO NOT OPERATE WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. WE BELIEVE OUR PROBLEMS MAY HAVE TO DO WITH THE TIPM MODULE. JUST SAW ON THE NEWS THAT SEVERAL JEEPS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND IT SHOWED EXACTLY THE SAME THING THAT IS HAPPENING TO MY 1999. IT IS NOW 2014, AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. AT FIRST, ONE DEALERSHIP SAID NO CHARGE FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THEY (THE DEALER) HAD CONTACTED CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER IT SEEMED HAD ASSUMED THE RESPONSIBILITY, BUT WHEN THESE PROBLEMS KEPT HAPPENING AND HAPPENING THEY GIVE UP, AND PUT THE BURDEN ON US. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHICH WE BELIEVE CHRYSLER HAS ALL ASSUMED THE RESPONSIBILITY BY THEIR FIRST ACTIONS. WE NEED TO GET THIS FIXED. THESE PROBLEMS WERE NOT CAUSED BY US. WE ARE DEALING WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BEYOND OUR CONTROL? WE BELIEVE THESE ARE PROBLEMS KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, IF THE AIR BAG WON'T WORK, OR THE WINDOWS WON'T OPEN. PLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PCM BOARD, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

FUEL TANK IS HELD IN PLACE BY A SKID PLATE (A.K.A. BRUSH PLATE). THE SKID PLATE HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND THE FUEL TANK IS IN DANGER OF FALLING OFF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAN IN THE VENTILATION SYSTEM FAILED TO RUN AT A HIGH SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT A BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED WAS NO LONGER MANUFACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG, AND MADE A LEFT TURN WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND FELT MY DRIVER'S SEAT BECOME LOOSE. IT WOBBLES AROUND AND FEELS AS THOUGH IT WOULD GO FLYING AWAY IF I WERE TO BE STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AT ANY TIME. IT MAKES THE CAR VERY HARD TO DRIVE AND FEELS VERY UNSAFE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS I COULD GET IT THERE AND WAS TOLD THE PART TO FIX IT HAD BEEN DISCONTINUED. I WAS ADVISED TO GO AND TRY TO FIND A SEAT AT A PULL APART PLACE AND TAKE IT ALL TO AN UPHOLSTERER TO BE FIXED. I EXPLAINED THAT THE INTERNET WARNED AGAINST DOING THAT AS THE USED PART IS LIKELY TO BREAK AND THAT A FIX WAS AVAILABLE AT JEEP SEAT BRACKET DOT COM. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO ORDER AND INSTALL THIS PART, AS I KNEW THAT CHRYSLER KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAD BEEN ASKED BY NHTSA FOR A RECALL AND HAS TO DATE REFUSED TO DO SO. I WAS ASKED TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

DRIVING HOME FOLLOWING AND AS I WAS SLOWING FOR A CURVE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA NEAR HOME THE SEAT GAVE WAY. I CHECKED AS BEST I COULD AND NOTICED SOME RUST AREAS ON THE CARPET, BOLTS, HOLDING THE SEAT FRAME & THE FRAME ITSELF (THERE WAS NO INTERIOR WATER LEAKS IN THE VEHICLE). THE SEAT HAS CONTINUED TO GIVE & BREAK. I CHECKED TO SEE IF A RECALL HAD BEEN MADE OR A SAFETY BULLETIN BEEN ISSUED AND FOUND IT HAD NOT, BUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAD MADE INQUIRIES AND COMPLAINTS, MANY WITH MUCH SADDER CONSEQUENCES WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED ON INTERSTATES AND SUPERHIGHWAYS, WAS SIZABLE AND QUITE HONESTLY FRIGHTENING. AS I READ THESE AND SAW THAT AFTER THESE OTHER PERSONS SUFFERING THIS SAME OBVIOUSLY MANUFACTURING DEFECT HAD GONE TO THEIR DEALERSHIPS WITH THE DEALERS OFFERING TO REPAIR IT AT THE VEHICLE OWNERS EXPENSE ($700-$1200) AND FOR A TECHNICIAN TO CHECK THE SEAT AND BRACKET COULD COST A MINIMUM OF $60-$90/HR. I PERSONALLY DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY READILY AVAILABLE ESPECIALLY TO PAY FOR A MANUFACTURER'S ERROR THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF FOR MORE THAN A DECADE! MY SOLUTION HAS BEEN TO LIMIT MY DRIVING TO GOING BACK AND FORTH TO WORK M-F (RUNNING BASIC ERRANDS DURING THESE DRIVES) WITH MY STAYING HOME ON WEEKENDS, AND ONLY MAKING TRIPS TO VISIT FAMILY THAT LIVE WITHIN 45 MILES EVERY TWO TO THREE MONTHS. LAST YEAR, I DROVE THIS, MY ONLY VEHICLE AT MY HOME, AROUND 3,300 MILES. THE QUALITY OF MY LIFE, I FEEL, HAS SUFFERED AS I HAVE BECOME RESTRICTED IN THE ABILITY TO SAFELY TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFT BOX WAS BUMPED AND THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED, DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE BLOWER TO THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. NOW ITS OUT AGAIN. IT'S DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN WINTER WITH NO BLOWER TO A HEATER AND DIFFICULT IN SUMMER WITH NO BLOWER TO THE AIR CONDITIONING. A MECHANIC I WENT TO SAID HE HAS SEEN MULTIPLE JEEPS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. HE BELIEVES IT MAY BE THE CABLE WIRES DUE TO THE NEARNESS TO THE ENGINE AND THEY WERE NOT BIG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE HEAT. IS THIS TRUE? HE ALSO THOUGHT JEEP WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. IF SO, HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED SO IT WORKS PROPERLY AND NOT GO OUT EVERY YEAR? EVERY ONCE IN A "BLUE MOON" THE BLOWER WILL COME ON FOR A COUPLE SECONDS BUT WILL NOT STAY ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME LOOSE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

WAS REMOVING REAR HITCH SO I COULD REPAINT IT AND NOTICED THAT MY GAS TANK SHIELD WAS ROTTED AND GAS WAS LEAKING ABOVE SHIELD SO I REMOVED THE ROTTED SHIELD AND FOUND LEAK.IT WAS CAUSED BY DIRT AND ROAD GRIME GETTING IN ABOVE WHERE SHIELD WAS ROTTED.THANK GOD I CAUGHT IT BEFORE SHIELD STARTED TO FALL AND SPARK AGAINST ROAD.COME TO FIND OUT THAT SHIELD IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING GAS TANK IN VEHICLE WHICH I BELIEVE IS TOTALLY A HAZARD FOR ALL GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS FROM 1999-2004 AT LEAST.I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THIS WAS A MAJOR DEFECT IN ALL FROM 1993-2004 AND YET NO RECALLS.THERE HAVE BEEN MANY FIRES FROM THIS AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT.MINE AT PRESENT JUST SITS IN YARD AS THEY WANT 400 HUNDRED FOR SHIELD AND 400 HUNDRED OR MORE FOR TANK.ALL JUNKYARDS TELL ME THAT THEY ARE ALL ROTTED AND SO THEY HAVE NONE TO SELL.ALL JUNKYARDS TELL ME THE SAME SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO YET.I COULD SEE THIS IF MY JEEP WAS NOT ROAD WORTHY BUT THERE IS NO RUST ON IT AND IT RUNS GREAT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE , STRUCTURE) AND STATED THAT THE REMEDY PART WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS MY JEEP'S ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF" WHILE DRIVING" AT VARIOUS SPEEDS 5 DIFFERENT TIMES BUT NOT EXCEEDING 60MPH. FOUR OF THE SIX TIMES I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE, TWO TIMES I HAD TO WAIT APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. THE INCIDENT AT 60MPH HAPPENED ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO THE SHOULDER WHEN IT SHUT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD BEFORE THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND NO ONE WAS HURT. THE COMPUTER NEVER REGISTERS ANY PROBLEM AND MY MECHANIC HAS STATED THAT IT COULD BE NUMEROUS ISSUES BUT NOTHING FOR SURE. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE JEEP HAS NEVER ISSUED A WARNING OR RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND AN ACCIDENT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

I HAD A MINOR HIT IN REAR ..AND FUEL SKID PLATE GOT PUSHED IN AND ALMOST RUPTURED GAS TANK..THIS HAPPENED OVER A YEAR AGO ..NOW THE SKID PLATE IS STARTING TO ROT/RUST OUT AND IT WOULD COST OVER $600.00 TO REPAIR ..DUE TO THE JUNE 2013 RECALL OF THIS ITEM I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR ..I CONTACTED THEM AND THEY SAID I WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE A HITCH ATTACHED TO MY CAR ..THIS IS WRONG ...WHAT GOES HERE ..CAN ANYTHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS ..I FEAR NOW DRIVING MY JEEP BECAUSE I HAVE NO GAS TANK SKID PLATE LEFT .. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WARNING LIGHT HAD BEEN CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED SINCE DECEMBER 2013. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION: THE VEHICLE WILL RUN AFTER STARTING FOR 5-8 MINUTES THEN THE RPM'S DROP TO 300 AND ACTS LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL; THEN.THE CAR BEGINS BUCKING, JERKING, AND REVVING UP. THERE ARE LOUD CLUNKS FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENTS. I HAVE REPLACED THE CAM & CRANKSHAFT SENSORS, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND NO CHANGE YET. NEXT I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, FILTER, THE FUEL LINE BETWEEN THEM. AIR BAGS: THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THE ONLY FIX I HAVE READ ABOUT IS THE CLOCK SPRING...TALK ABOUT MONEY PIT!! BRAKES: YES. FRONT BRAKES HAVE LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ISSUES. DISCS AND CALIPERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. ALSO, DRIVER'S SIDE BREAK LIGHT IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. THE TAIL LIGHTS WORK, BUT ONCE THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED, THE RIGHT AND TOP LIGHTS WORK, BUT THE DRIVER'S LIGHT IS OFF. AND JUST FOR FUN...I'VE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH SIDE MIRRORS DUE TO INTERNAL SPRINGS FAILING AS WELL AS BOTH FRONT WINDOW REGULATORS AND MOTORS. WHEN I WENT TO AUTOZONE TO GET PARTS, THEY CORRECT WINDOW REGULATOR WAS UNDER THE 2000 MODEL YEAR; 1999 DID NOT FIT. WE ARE GONNA GET RID OF THIS JEEP...CHRYSLER NEEDS A LESSON IN TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. WE'LL BUY A TOYOTA. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. ALL DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN VEHICLE SPEED INCREASES ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND PASSENGER WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN DOOR USING DOOR HANDLE. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE DOOR TO UNLOCK AND PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO EGRESS THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO OCCUPANTS THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH BY DELAYING OR PREVENTING THEIR EXITING FROM THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY OR AFTER AN ACCIDENT. THIS LOCKING SYSTEM FAILURE ALSO DISABLES THE EXTERNAL DOOR OPERATING MECHANISM MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE TO OPEN THE AFFECTED DOOR THEREBY MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO ASSIST THOSE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE HAS A RECALL THAT ADDRESSES LOSS OF FUEL TANK INTEGRITY FOLLOWING A REAR END COLLISION. IF THE LOSS OF FUEL TANK INTEGRITY RESULTED IN A FIRE THE FAILURE OF THE DOOR LOCK SYSTEM TO PREVENT OCCUPANTS EXITING THE VEHICLE COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME BECAME FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

WE HAVE OWNED OUR 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE SINCE 1999 - ITS BEEN A GREAT CAR BUT EVERY SINGLE ISSUE LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE HAS BEFALLEN US. CURRENTLY @ 149K MILES WE HAVE NO HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DUE TO BLEND DOOR ASSEMBLY, THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF ALL THE TIME AND THERE IS NO HEAT IN THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT. I AM SHOCKED THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND THAT TO ME SAYS THERE IS TRULY SOMETHING WRONG. WE ALSO TOOK PART IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT COVERED SOME OF THE EXPENSES WE HAD IN CONTINUALLY REPLACING THE BRAKES - ESPECIALLY THE ROTORS WHICH WARP WITH OUT NOTICE AND CAN DO THAT IF YOU JUST STEP ON THE BRAKES TO HARD! EVEN IF YOU HAVE JUST HAD THEM REPLACED. CHEAP PARTS? I AM A DIE HARD JEEP OWNER BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THESE POSTINGS I AM WONDERING IF MY ALLIANCE SHOULD BE ELSEWHERE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK SHIELD AND BRACKET FAILED DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 179,000.

WE ARE A USED CAR DEALER, BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR RESALE, TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY GETTING THE FACTORY RECALL COMPLETED PRIOR TO RESALE. HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 145 DAYS FOR CHRYSLER/ JEEP TO GET THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. WE NOW HAVE 5 OF THESE UNITS WAITING ON CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. *TR

ONE DAY I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND THE HEATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS WARM AIR BLOWING. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO BE FIXED AND IT COST ME $796.00. ONCE I STARTED TELLING PEOPLE WHAT HAD HAPPENED IT SEEMED LIKE ANY ONE THAT HAD A JEEP HAD BEEN THROUGH THIS EXPENSIVE PROBLEM JUST TO HAVE HEAT IN YOUR VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER AND NO EXTRA MONEY TO FIX IT RIGHT AWAY. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON JEEPS FOR THE ACTUATOR AND BLEND DOORS. I THINK I SHOULD BE REFUNDED FOR THE COST OF THIS BAD/POOR DESIGN ON JEEP'S. ALSO THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS. I WAS LEAVING WORK ONE DAY AND WENT TO UNLOCK MY DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I HAD TO CALL A LOCK SMITH TO GET IT UNLOCKED, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE ELECTRIC DOOR SWITCH WENT BAD IN IT. THAT COST ANOTHER$185.00. I ALSO HEAR THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS TO ALOT OF JEEP'S. NOW MY HEATED MIRROR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ALL MESSED UP AND YOU CAN NOT SEE OUT OF IT CLEARLY AND IT WILL NOT DEFROST. SO NOW IT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT ANOTHER $100 OR SO TO GET THAT FIXED. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS JEEP ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS AGO THE FAN THAT COOLS THE MOTOR WENT BAD AND WAS CAUSING THE MOTOR TO OVERHEAT. THAT COST ANOTHER $200 TO HAVE THAT FIXED. I THINK SOME OF THESE ITEMS NEED RECALLED AND GIVE THESE PEOPLE WITH JEEPS SOME OF THERE MONEY BACK BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH THEM AND ALL THESE THINGS SEEM TO START AROUND 100,000 MILES. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE. *TR

I OWN A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND IN THE PAST I GUESS AROUND 6 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN PARKED BECAUSE NOONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.THE VEHICLE USED TO BE SO DEPENDABLE AND THEN ONE DAY IT WOULDN'T START AFTER I DROVE IT ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND SHUT IT OFF,BUT I COULD LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 20 TO 30 MINUTES AND IT WOULD START RIGHT UP.AFTER A FEW WEEKS I COULDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE IT WAS STALLING MORE OFTEN AND I NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WAS GONNA START OR NOT.I HAD IT PUT ON THE COMPUTER AT ADVANCE AND THEY MENTION THE NUMBER 3 NOT FIRING BUT NOONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY MY VERY DEPENDABLE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN WAS VERY DANGEROUS.PLEASE HELP ME IF U CAN,I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH NO TRANSPORTATION.I HAVE BEEN READING ENTRIES BY OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND I HAVE A LITTLE HOPE SINCE ALOT OF THEM ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL NOTICED STATED, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

THE FUEL TANK SKID FRAME SUPPORTING THE FUEL TANK HAS RUSTED THROUGH. THIS PART IS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE FUEL TANK WITH NO OTHER MEANS OF SUPPORT. ONCE THIS FAILS THE FUEL TANK DISLODGES AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA AND CHRYSLER HAS RECENTLY STATED THAT THE SKID FRAME PROVIDES PROTECTION FOR THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK MOUNTED BEHIND THE REAR AXLE. IT FAILS PREMATURELY DUE TO ITS INADEQUATE THICKNESS AND WATER/SALT CATCHING DESIGN. THERE IS NO WAY TO PREVENT THE CORROSION AND PERFORM MAINTENANCE WITHOUT REMOVING THE SKID FRAME/FUEL TANK . A RECALL TO INSTALL A THICKER GAGE METAL CORROSION RESISTANT SKID FRAMES IS NEEDED. MANY 1999-2004 GRAND CHEROKEE JEEPS ARE VULNERABLE AS THEIR SKID FRAME SUPPORTING FUEL TANK DECAY. MANY REPORTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE WJ JEEPS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM PER THE INTERNET/JEEP FORUMS.*TR ..UPDATED 02/14/17 *BF

I'M UNCERTAIN OF TIME OF INCIDENT. THE DRIVER THAT HIT ME BLEW A STOP SIGN AND CRASHED INTO MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WHICH CAUSED MY TRUCK TO DO A COMPLETE 360 HITTING 3 CARS WHILE I WAS SPINNING. *TR

I AM COMING HOME DRIVING MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 1999 FROM MY MECHANIC IN QUEENS VILLAGE AFTER HE CHANGE THE MAP SENSOR AND RELAY TO FIX THE STALLING PROBLEM ON THE JEEP. DRIVING ON GRAND CENTRAL PARKWAY AT THE SPEED OF 55MPH, I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR AND BE ABLE TO COME TO INNER ROADS WHEN MY CAR DIED(STALLS) AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAFFIC. AFTER 30MIN, THE CAR STARTS AGAIN AFTER A NUMEROUS TRIES THEN STOPS AFTER 500FT AND IT DIDN'T START UNTIL AFTER 15MIN OF STANDING BY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AGAIN. IT'S JUST SO FRUSTRATING WHEN THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE MY CAR IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND IT'S STALLING MY ENGINE, UNBEARABLE PROBLEM BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ON A HIGHWAY OR EXPRESSWAY. *TR
