ON 8-4-01, I PLACED MY 1999 JEEP IN PARK AND LEFT THE SUV TO GET DIRECTIONS ON PARKING AT A SPORTING EVENT. A FRIEND OF MINE, WAS IN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND LOOKED BACK AND NOTICED THAT MY JEEP WAS BACKING UP ALL BY ITSELF? I RAN BACK, CAUGHT IT AND LUCKLY MY 2YR OLD SON AND NO ONE AROUND WAS PHYSICALLY INJURED OR WORSE. NO DAMAGE TO ANY OTHER VEHICLE WAS CAUSED, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS OCCURED AND NEVER HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST. I CALLED JEEP AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME WAS TO REPORT THIS TO YOU AND THAT THEY ARE COOPERATING WITH YOUR AGENCY ON THIS ISSUE. AT THIS TIME, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. ??

THE ROTORS FAILED IN MARCH OF 2000 AND WERE REPLACED BY A DEALER AND HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED A SECOND TIME. I DID NOTE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS PUBLISHED ON THIS SAME SUBJECT. JEEP NEEDS TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT THE CORRECTION OF THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. THANK YOU. *AK

THE CAR STEERING VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY WHEN BRAKES APPLIED AT 60 MPH. CHRYSLER REPLACES THE ROTORS BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNS AFTER APPROX 4 TO 5 THOUSAND MILES. IF LEFT UN CHECKED THE VEHICLES' SAFETY IS JEAPARDIZED. ALL 1999 JEEP GAND CHEROKEE OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO (>10) INDICATE THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER MECHANICS AGREE. CHRYSLER HAS REPLACED THE ROTORS FOR CORROSION BUT THE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY RELATED TO VIBRATION SHORTENING THE LIFE OF THE ROTORS.*AK

MY CAR WAS IN PARK AND SWITCHED TO REVERSE BY ITSELF. I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE CAR BY THE OPEN DRIVER'S DOOR AND WAS DRAGGED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR.

I PURCHASED MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, IN JANUARY OF 1999. SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTORS SERVICED FOUR(4) TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS AUGUST 30, 2000, AT 30,070 MILES. THE SECOND TIME WAS DECEMBER 12, 2000, AT 36,242 MILES. THE THIRD TIME WAS MARCH 16, 2001, AT 41,560 MILES. THE FORTH TIME WAS AUGUST 1, 2001, AT 44, 288 MILES. THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE SERVICED, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AT MCCAFFERTY HAD TO CUT THE FRONT ROTORS. THE 2ND THRU THE 4TH TIMES THE FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED. I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR SERVICE, ALL 4 TIMES, THE DEALER SAYING IT WAS FROM NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR". ON ONE OCCASION I TALKED TO MR. BOB GUNDY, WHOM I BELIEVE IS THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MCCAFFERTY JEEP. I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD BEEN TOLD THAT I HAD BEEN ASKED, BY ANOTHER SERVICE ADVISOR, IF I HAD A HEAVY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, BEING TOLD THE DAMAGE MIGHT BE FROM THIS. I TOLD THE ADVISOR, AT THE TIME, I DID NOT. MR. GUNDY STATED THAT IT WAS NOTHING WRONG THAT I DID, BUT A DEFECT CAUSED BY THE WHEELS GETTING BIGGER, THE BRAKE PADS GETTING BIGGER, BUT THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS STAYING THE SAME SIZE. THIS, HE TOLD ME, CAUSED THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS TO WARP, AND BECOMING DAMAGED. HE STATED, TO ME, IT WAS BECAUSE OF THIS. I KNOW, FROM TALKING TO SEVERAL OTHER GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS, THAT THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURED WITH THEIR VEHICLES. THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMYING, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT HIGH SPEEDS. ALTHOUGH NOT YET A GENERAL RECALL, I BELIEVE THAT THE NHYTSA

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WILL REV UP AND ACCELERATE SUDDENLY. DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK

VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH ENGINE RUNNING, EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT APPLIED. VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT BACKWARD, COMING TO A STOP WHEN IT HIT AN IRON POST. DAMAGE TO VEHICLE WAS $ 3000.00. *AK

ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS VEHICLE JUMPED INTO REVERSE FROM PARK. ENGINE WAS ON. PLEASE ADD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY AT @50 MPH, THE CAR SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 4-WHEEL DRIVE. WE WERE APPROX 10 MILES FROM A DEALERSHIP, SO WE TOOK IT TO DARLING AUTOMALL IN ELLSWORTH, ME. THEY TEST DROVE IT AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO GO BACK TO 2-WHEEL DRIVE. THEY DISASSEMBLED PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND SOME COMPONENTS IN THE TRANSFER CASE HAD FAILED. IT HAS TAKEN 5 DAYS FOR THE REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED (WE HAVE NOT PICKED UP VEHICLE AT THIS WRITING) WE CONTACTED JEEP REGARDING THIS PROBLEM.*AK

TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SHIFT VERY ROUGH FROM 2ND TO 3RD. IF DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND THAT SHIFT WINDOW (20-30), ROUGH KICK IN BACK END LIKE GETTING HIT FROM THE REAR. TRANSMISSION ALSO SEEMS TO STALL THE ENGINE ON SHARP TURNS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TO DEALER FOR FIRST COMPLAINT AT LEAST TWICE. NO ERROR CODES DETECTED IN PCM EITHER TIME. DEALER WENT AHEAD AND RELOADED SOFTWARE, BUT DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. ALSO REPORTED PROBLEM TO MFG, WHO RECOMMENDED TAKING VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER. LOCAL DEALER CAN'T FIX THOUGH. CHRYSLER NOT HELPING WITH PROBLEM.*AK

I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP CHEROKEE NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE AN ENGINE KNOCK...A WHINING NOISE AND A BANGING NOISE CHECKED OUT. EVERYONE EXCEPT THE SERVICE PEOPLE CAN HEAR THESE NOISES. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT USED TO WORK FOR CHRYSLER THAT THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING IT. I WATCHED THE TODAY SHOW ON AUGUST 4TH AND HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THAT EXIST WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THE JEEP CHEROKEE AND BECAME CONCERNED. I HAVE REPEATEDLY VOICED THESE CONCERNS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ALSO SPOKE TO A CHRYSLER REP DIRECTLY IN A 3 WAY CONVERSATION. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE MY COMPLAINT ON FILE. THE WHINING AND BANGING NOISE HAS NOW TURNED INTO A GRINDING NOISE THAT I AM AFRAID IS EFFECTING THE POWER TRAIN TO THE POINT THAT IT WILL FAIL. THE SERVICE DEPT. HAS REPLACED (UNNECESSARILY) THE SHOCKS,THE BATTERY, AND THE DRIVE SHAFT,SAYING THAT THIS WILL REMEDY THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOT>
