1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK GOT OUT TO SPRAY WINDOWS HEARD A LOUD POP TURNED AROUND AND THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS. I TRIED TO JUMP IN TO STOP IT BUT WAS KNOCKED OVER BY THE DOOR AND THE VEHICLE RAN OVER MY RIGHT LEG CAUSING SEVERE BRUISES AND PULLED MUSCLES WITH A POSIBLE HAIRLINE FRACTURE REASULTING IN MY BEING ON CRUTCHES AND IN A LEG BRACE FOR 2.5 MONTHS AND A KNEE BRACE FOR 6 WEEKS AFTER THAT CAUSING LOSS OF WORK FOR 2.5 MONTHS.*AK

VEHICLE POWERS BACKWARD BY ITSELF WHEN STOPPED UNLESS FOOT IS CONSTANTLY, FORCEFULLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. *AK

THE ENGINE, WHILE IN DRIVE GOING ~60MPH, FROM TIME TO TIME, SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL AND/OR EVEN SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN ACCORD. AT STOP LIGHTS, STOP SIGN, ETC, WHILE IN DRIVE WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN. I ASKED MULTIPLE DEALERS AND REPORTED IT, THEY SAID IT WAS A FUEL PROBLEM. PLEASE ADD THIS TO YOUR RECENT JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE "PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION".

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE (BACKED IN). I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND MOVED FORWARD SEVERAL FEET SO THAT I COULD UNLOAD SOMETHING FROM THE REAR STORAGE AREA. I BELIEVED THAT I HAD SHIFTED INTO "PARK" AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE THEN BEGAN MOVING IN REVERSE, STOPPING WHEN IT STRUCK SOME CABINETS AT THE REAR OF THE GARAGE. REAR LIFTGATE BENT AND CAUSED THE REAR GLASS TO SHATTER. ALTHOUGH I WAS FAIRLY SURE I HAD SHIFTED INTO "PARK" I ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY AND DID NOT REPORT THE INCIDENT EXCEPT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY.*AK

REAR DIFFERENTIAL REBUILT TWICE, THUS FAR. DEALER INDICATED COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. AM IN PROCESS OF TRADINING VEHICLE IN, AS I DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN. HAVING TO PAY $5,000 FOR NEGATIVE EQUITY, BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY. MANUFACTURER SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER RECALL OF VEHICLE.*AK

ON BOTH FAILURES THE JEEP WAS IN PARK, WITH THE BRAKE ON AND THE ENGINE IDLING. THE CAR LITERALLY TOOK OFF IN REVERSE AND BOTH TIMES WAS ONLY STOPPED BY FENCES. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS ON FLAT GROUND. I REPORTED THE FIRST INCIDENCE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IF I COULDN'T PROVE IT, THEY WEREN'T RESPONSIBLE AND THEREFORE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE. I DID NOT REPORT THE SECOND INCIDENCE, BUT I HAVE ALSO NOT FIXED THE DAMAGE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SCC ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****747979

PE 01 021: VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND IDLING, WHEN IT JUMPED OUT OF GEAR INTO REVERSE AND RAN INTO A TREE WITH 6 YEAR OLD SON IN THE VEHICLE. NO INJURY WAS REPORTED. DEALER/MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER.*AK

EXPERIENCED AUTO SLIPPING FROM PARK INTO REVERSE WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND UNOCCUPPIED. SAME SITUATION REPORTED IN ARTICLE ON CNN.COM ON 4 JUL 2001. *AK

I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY, PLACED IT IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO CHECK THE MAIL. WHILE AT THE MAILBOX, I REALIZED THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE BACKING UP THE DRIVEWAY. IT HIT MY FENCE CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FENCE AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE. I NEVER GAVE IT MUCH THOUGHT AS TO WHO WAS AT FAULT. I WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE. AFTER HEARING OF THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, I AM CONVINCED THAT I TOO, HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CAR JUMPING INTO REVERSE FROM PARK.*AK

MY JEEP POPPED OUT OF PARK WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND REVERSED INTO STREET, THROUGH THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD, BEFORE FINALLY COASTING TO A SLOW ENOUGH SPEED REVERSING UP A HILL THAT I COULD JUMP IN AND STOP IT. I WAS INJURED TRYING TO CATCH UP TO THE VEHICLE AND OPEN THE DOOR TO GET IN JUST AS IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. DAMAGE WAS TO THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD.

OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL WEEKS, THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVED ERRATICALLTY, OFTEN SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL OR FROM NEUTRAL INTO DRIVE. THESE SHIFTS WOULD OCCUR WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT WITH NO ONE TOUCHING THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER. MOST OFTEN, THIS OCCURRED AT STOP SIGNS OR LIGHTS. THEN, ON JUNE 20, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO LOW GEAR ON ITS OWN AND REMAINED LOCKED THERE. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED. HOWEVER, SINCE TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, THE DEALER SEEMS UNABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RETURN IT TO ME. THIS SUGGESTS A SUBSTANTIAL AND POTENTIALLY INHERENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH SERIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS.*AK

I AM TRYING TO GET MORE DETAILS ON MEDIA REPORTS OF A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION NOW GOING ON REGARDING JEEP CHEROKEES FROM 1995 THROUGH 1999 MODELS REGARDING DEFECT IN SHIFTING MECHANISM FROM PARK TO REVERSE. MY CAR HAS AN ERRATIC,ROUGH AND NOISY SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE. I FEEL THERE IS SOME PROBLEM. SO FAR I CANT GET ANYONE TO TALK ABOUT IT. HOW ABOUT SOME HELP???*AK

IN 1998 WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASING TH EJEEP, I PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME TO PICK UP THE MAIL,. I PUT THE JEEP INTO PARK. THE GEAR JUMPED INTO REVERSE AFTER I GOT OUT OF TH EJEEP AND IT STARTED TO DRIVE IN REVERSE. I GRABED THE OPEN DOOR BUT IT WAS GOING SO FAST IT KNOCKED ME OVER AND THE TIRES ROLLED OVER MY LEG. THE JEEP PROCEEDED TO DRIVE IN REVERSE, ACROSS THE STREET -ONTO A NEIGHBORS LAWN AND BACKED INTO A TREE. SOMEONE HAD TO PUT THE JEEP INTO PARK, AGAIN AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBLANCE WHERE I HAD A SERIES OF OPERATIONS ON MY LEG. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMED THAT I MUST HAVE PUT THE JEEP INTO REVERSE INSTEAD OF PARK. I HAD THE JEEP REPAIRED AND STILL HAVE IT.*AK

AFTER READING ABOUT A RECENT INVESTIGATION INTO THE GRAND CHEROKEE GOING INTO REVERSE, IT PROMPTED ME TO REPORT THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY GRAND CHEROKEE HAD GONE INTO REVERSE UNEXPECTEDLY TWICE NOW. ONCE IT RESULTED IN DAMAGE. THE SECOND TIME I CAUGHT IT. IT APPEARS THAT WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK, THE SHIFTER WILL BOUNCE BACK INTO REVERSE WITHOUT WARNING. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT BEGAN TO GO INTO REVERSE. THE SECOND PROBLEM INVOLVES THE FRONT DISC ASSEMBLIES. IT APPEARS THAT THEY WARP EARLY IN THEIR LIFESPAN. I NOTICED A LOT OF VIBRATION WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 40 MPH. THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 15000 MILES AND GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. SEVERAL OTHER GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE SAID TO ME THAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

THE VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF PARK AND ADVANCED FORWARD UNTIL CRASHING.*AK

STEERING HAD BEEN MAKING A WINING SOUND ON SLOW TURNS FOR ABOUT A MONTH. DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. SAID IT WAS JUST NOISE NOT DANGER. WAS PULLING SMALL U-HALL TRAILER DOWN MOUNTAIN IN 2ND GEAR. ON TIGHT MOUNTAIN TURN HAD VERY STIFF STEERING, NO POWER STEERING. WENT INTO NEARBY TOWN AND TURNED STREET CORNERS, PROBLEM CONTINUED. SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND PROBLEM DISAPPEARED. WENT OVER ANOTHER MOUNTAIN PASS IN DRIVE AND PROBLEM REOCCURED ON ALL TIGHT TURNS AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 1 OR 2 MPH. NORMAL HIGHWAY TURNS HAD NO PROBLEMS. AFTER DROPPING OFF TRAILER, TOOK CAR TO DEALER - COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. RETURNED HOME BY SAME ROUT. THE WHINING NOISE CONTINUED BUT NO PROBLEM STEERING ON TIGHT MOUNTAIN CURVES. DEALER SAYS JEEP HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM.*AK

SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO COMPLETE POWER FAILURE, VEHICLE DECELERATED ON ITS OWN WITH A SMALL JAR AS IF TAPPED FROM REAR, THEN @ 45 MPH I LOST COMPLETE POWER, NO STEERING ABILITY, POWER BRAKES GONE, COASTED TO STOP. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS PRIOR TO POWER LOSS, TURNED OFF A/C, RADIO ETC. VEHICLE RE-STARTED. I TOOK TO DEALER NEXT DAY. THEY HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS, & ONLY REPLACED BATTERY. PICKED UP VEHICLE ON 6/28 & 6/30 VEHICLE SHUT DOWN @ 45-50 MPH SAME SCENARIO, TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED MODULE-POWERTRAIN CONTROL. PICKED UP 07/03, DROVE LESS THAN 10 MI & VEHICLE STARTED THE DECELERATION PROBLEM AGAIN.*AK
