The contact owns a 1996 N/A Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE). The local dealer was contacted; however, the dealer refused to perform the recall repair due to the age of the vehicle. The contact stated that there was only one Jeep dealer in the local area. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The contact owns a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee equipped with Cooper tires, Tire Line: Discoverer A/T, Tire Size: 225/75R17, and DOT Number: UT2Y1DF1515. The contact stated that all four tires had cracks along the sidewall. The tire dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the manufacturer and the NHTSA Hotline. The tires were not replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

Drivers front seat has come loose from the bottom and is now wobbly, uncomfortable to sit on it and appears dangerous to drive as its not secure. There are lots of complaints about this happening to others on the internet.

After sending my Jeep Grand Cherokee to Pugh’s Service Center in Greenville, NC, in December 2018, because it would turnover, but not start. They replaced the ECM, but had to be taken to the local Jeep dealership for an OE ECM replacement and a crankshaft sensor, in order to get it to crank. Upon getting my Jeep back in March 2019, it ran fine for a few days. Then I went to start it, and it started, but after a few seconds, all of the GAUGES stopped working and all of the WARNING LIGHTS came on. I contacted both Pugh’s and the Jeep dealership, telling me I should just bring it in, to run more diagnostics. The Jeep only has 94,000 miles, and I spent about what the vehicle was worth upon getting it back in March 2019; so I’ve been hesitant on taking it back. There are many other people who have similar issues with the instrument panel gauges and warning lights, from the information I’ve researched online; with no indications of the problem being resolved.

Sai... Vehicle opened up when put in gear while brake was engaged... Crashed into fence...

IN MOTION THE CAR SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND ALMOST WRECKED THE CAR FROM THE SHAKING. I HAVE BAD BACK PAIN AND SCARED TO DRIVE. MY 4 YEAR OLD IS TERRIFIED OF GETTING NEAR THE CAR. *TR

THE SUV RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN LIKE SOMEONE UNPLUGGED IT AND WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES IT WILL START AFTER 10-15 MINUTES AND SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I REPLACED THE OXYGEN SENSOR, THE CRANK SENSOR, IDLE CONTROL SENSOR, AND THE CAR COMPUTER. *TR

STEERING WHEEL HARD TO KEEP IN SINGLE LANE. NEW TIRES, BALANCED, AND ALIGNMENT ALL ACCOMPLISHED. STILL HARD TO KEEP IN SINGLE LANE.

STILL SHUTS DOWN. TOOK IT TO SEVERAL SHOPS AND KNOW ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM WHY? I'VE BEEN DOING ALOT OF RESEARCH, AND NOTICED ALOT OF JEEP OWERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS?

ANTI-THEFT IS KEEPING THE JEEP FROM WORKING. THE VEHICLE STARTS AND DIES AFTER 2-3 SECONDS. I HAVE GOOGLED IT ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE LITERALLY TONS OF PEOPLE ON YOU TUBE/FACEBOOK (EVEN SOME LICENSED MECHANICS) COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE.

DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND ALARMS SIMULTANEOUSLY BLINK ON AND OFF. SEEMS TO BE A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE WIRING. GAS TANK LEVELS OFF AT "EMPTY", AND THE FUEL GAUGE SPINS 180 DEGREES SO THAT IT IS CAUGHT UNDER THE "RESTING STICK" AT 0, THEREFORE, NO LONGER READING THE GAUGE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AND WHILE PARKED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A TENDENCY TO "STALL" AT ANY MOMENT, UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER AND OTHER MECHANICS TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH NO LUCK.

SEAT BEGAN ROCKING LATERALLY WHEN CORNERING. INSPECTION INDICATED ALL SEAT PARTS WERE FIRMLY ATTACHED. ENTERING A PARKED VEHICLE ON A COLD EVENING, THE SEAT ROTATED TO THE RIGHT AND BACKWARD SLIGHTLY. SINCE THEN THE SEAT WILL NOT ADJUST FORE/AFT ON ITS RAILS NOR AM I ABLE TO BRING THE SEAT INTO ITS ORIGINAL UPRIGHT POSITION. I RECEIVE A WARNING THAT THE SEATBELT IS NOT BUCKLED EVEN THOUGH THE BELT IS FIRMLY BUCKLED. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

BRAKE LIGHTS, RUNNING LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS DONT WORK. SITTING STILL OR MOVING.
