2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

WHILE PARKED TRANSMISSION JUMPED OUT OF PARK AND WENT INTO DRIVE. VEHICLE TOOK OFF, ALMOST RAN OVER DRIVER,BUT WAS PULLED OUT BY A FRIEND. NONETHELESS DRIVER SUFFERED A BROKE ANKLE AND WAS TREATED AT HOSPITAL. THERE WAS A LOT OF DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. *AK

STEERING SQUEAK OR MOAN WHEN TURNING, EVIDENT SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE, VEHICLE IS NOW ONE YEAR OLD. REPAIRED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT STILL NOT FIXED. OTHER VEHICLE PROBLEMS INCLUDES WARPED ROTORS AT 14000MILES, DEALERSHIP REPLACED FRONT ROTORS.*AK

VEHICLE WAS LEFT RUNNING AND IN PARK ON A VERY STEEP DRIVEWAY. AFTER GETTING COMPLETELY OUT OF CAR CONSUMER REACHED IN TO GRAB SOMETHING WHEN VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. WHILE TRYING TO GET INTO VEHICLE, IT WAS MOVING SO FAST CONSUMER SUFFERED TO NOSE, BRUISES ON SHOULDERS AND RIGHT LEG, INJURIES. UNTIL IT HIT A LARGE TREE AND AN OFFICER ARRIVED SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. *AK *ET

VIBRATION WHILE APPLYING BRAKES AT SPEEDS AT OR ABOVE 35 MPH. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EXAMINED VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

WHEN SHIFTING GEARS THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOT OF NOISE. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TWICE, WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD ANOTHER JEEP ON THE RACK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WAS WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURE RTO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO NEXT. AFTER REPEATED CALLS TO FIND OUT THE STATUS OF THE OTHER JEEP, WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION ON THAT JEEP AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SO AFTER MANY CALLS AM TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THE JEEP BACKS OFF A LOT WHEN AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. WROTE THE MANUFACTURE, BUT HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM. *AK

I WAS TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WITH THE SUNROOF OPEN AND ALL THE OTHER WINDOWS CLOSED WHEN THE REAR WINDOW IMPLODED INWARD. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDOW AND THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS OR PEOPLE IN THE NEAR VICINITY. I AM WONDERING IF SOME KIND OF PRESSURE COULD HAVE BEEN CREATED THAT CAUSED THE WINDOW TO IMPLODE. IT WAS QUITE VIOLENT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.*AK

FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS FAIL AFTER 4,000-6,000 MILES ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM; CHRYSLER KNOWS OF IT, DEALERS LIKE MINE REPLACE THEM REGULARLY, AND AS LONG AS THE NEW ONES FAIL WITHIN THE 12,000 MILE WARRANTY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. BUT CHRYSLER HAS NO APPARENT INTENTION OF DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM IN ANY OTHER FASHION. MY CAR IS UNSAFE DUE TO BRAKE PULSATION ONCE THE ROTORS HAVE FAILED; I TOW A 2-HORSE TRAILER WITH IT REGULARLY, AND THE DANGER FROM THE BRAKES IS HEIGHTENED WITH THE ADDED WEIGHT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE FAILURE OF CHRYSLER TO DEAL WITH THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. GIVEN THE HISTORY OF BRAKE PROBLEMS ON PREVIOUS YEARS, THIS SHOULD ALSO BE OF GREATER CONCERN TO NHTSA THAN IT SEEMS TO BE. THE "FIX" FOR PREVIOUS BRAKE PROBLEMS (LARGE RECALLS FOR EARLIER MODELS) IN NEWER MODELS HAS INTRODUCED NEW PROBLEMS. MY JEEP IS UNSAFE TO HANDLE AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH DUE TO BRAKE PULSATION, FRONT END WOBBLING, ETC., WHENEVER THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES DURING HIGHWAY SPEED BRAKING, ALL ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED @ 9180 MI. 3 ROTORS RESURFACED AND ONE REPLACED AGAIN @16356 MI. - VEHICLE WHISTLES AT SPEED GREATER THAN 15 MPH. DEALER REPLACED 'PITTED BEARINGS' IN FRONT DIFFERENTIAL @ 18235 MI..*AK

THE PROBLEM I'VE BEEN HAVING WITH MY JEEP IS THAT THE BRAKES SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN SLOWING FROM SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, AND WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN (WHEN I CAN GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO GET IT DONE). AFTER READING THROUGH THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS AND SEEING THIS ONE ON THERE 20+ TIMES, I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THE VEHICLE.

THE ROTORS AND PADS WERE DAMAGED FROM OVER HEATING. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF OTHERS HAS HAD. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. I DO NOT FEEL BRAKES SHOULD FAIL IN THIS SHORT OF TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.*AK

VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. THEN, CONSUMER SHIFTED GEAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE, BACKED UP ABOUT A FEW INCHES, AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED MORE THAN HALF A BLOCK IN REVERSE, CRASHING INTO AN APARTMENT BUILDING. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO THE SHOP ONCE AT 12,000 MILES BECAUSE EVERY TIME I PUT ON THE BRAKES ABOVE 45 MPH THE TRUCK WOULD SHUDDER DRASTICALLY. THEY TURNED THE ROTORS AND IT WAS FINE FOR 3OOO OR 4OOO MORE BUT IT HAS CONTINUED AGAIN. I ACTUALLY GOT A NOTE LEFT ON MY WINDSHIELD GIVING ME YOU WEB ADDRESS FROM ANOTHER JEEP OWNER REGARDING THEIR SAME COMPLAINT. IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE METAL USED FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM IF I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN EVERY 4K MILES. GOD FORBID THAT THEY SHOULD EVER COMPLETELY FAIL. *AK

WHEN BRAKING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND THE WHOLE TRUCK SHIMMIES. MY ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES WITH ONLY 20,000+ MILES ON THE TRUCK AND IT IS OCCURING FOR THE 5TH TIME NOW. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IT IS VERY DISTURBING TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH ITS BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.*AK

BY THE GRACE OF G-D THE CAR TURNED AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR AND THEN INTO A FENCE. NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THE CAR WAS BADLY DAMAGED. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF ANYONE CAN SUGGEST WHAT MY LEGAL RIGHTS ARE IN THIS MATTER.

SPECIFIC PROBLEM PERTAINS TO FRONT ROTORS. FRONT ROTORS WEAR OUT EVERY 4000 TO 6000 MILES OR WHENEVER THEY GET HOT, WHICH CAUSES SERVERE PULSATION WHEN BRAKING AT SPEED OVER 45 MPH. WE ARE NOW LOOKING AT REPLACING ROTORS FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 18 MONTHS AND LESS THAN 21,000 MILES. DEALER HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 36,000 MILES, HOWEVER WE WANT A LONG TERM SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE TWO FRIENDS WHO OWN THE SAME CAR AND THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *AK

ROTORS ARE WARPING. ALL MY FRIENDS WITH JEEPS HAVE HAD ROTORS FAIL WITHIN 20K MILES. MUST BE DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM MANUFACTURER. VEHICLE SHUDDRERS UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN BRAKING HARD. IF THE DRIVER RARELY BRAKES HARD, HE MAY NOT REALIZE THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL HE FORCEFULLY APPLIES THE BRAKES. AT THAT POINT, IT IS VERY EASY TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. MYSELF AND THREE OTHERS HAVE ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. WE GOT LUCKY, BUT THERE MUST BE OTHERS WHO WERE NOT LUCKY. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. SEARCH THE INTERNET, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF POSTINGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM! DO SOMETHING TO MAKE JEEP RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THIS IS A CAR THAT FAMILIES BUY BECAUSE IT HAS A GOOD "SAFETY RECORD, BUT IT HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT.*AK

PE 01 021: VEHICLE WAS PARKED. CONSUMER HEARD A CLICKING SOUND JUST BEFORE VEHICLE ROLLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY INTO A PARKED CAR;. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER.*AK

VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO REVERSE FROM PARK, CAUSING IT TO HIT A PIER AND ROLL INTO A LAKE.

WHILE TRAVELING INTO A CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE SEAT FRAME BROKE UNDERNEATH AND MADE IT EASY FOR THE SEAT TO SUDDENLY ROCK FREELY WITH A LEFT-LEANING TO FRONT AND RIGHT-LEANING TO BACK MOTION, MAKING THE VEHICLE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE NOW. HOWARD-WILSON CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH-JEEP IN JACKSON, MS (WHERE I'VE BEEN HAVING MOST OF THE SERVICE WORK PERFORMED ON THE JEEP) WAS CONTACTED ABOUT POSSIBLE RECALL INFORMATION, BUT I WAS ADVISED THAT I'D BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER OR THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED YET, BUT AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS ITEM WAS IN EXCESS OF $400.00. I RECENTLY REMOVED THE SEAT FROM THE VEHICLE AT A LOCAL SHOP AND TRIED TO HAVE THE SEAT FRAMED WELDED BACK TOGETHER (BECAUSE IT'S A CLEAN SEPARATION OF THE METAL ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE CORNER OF THE SEAT ABOVE WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE TRACK), BUT THE SHOP STRONGLY ADVISED AGAINST IT FOR THE LIKELIHOOD OF WEAKING THE METAL IN THAT AREA AND LEAVING THE POTENTIAL OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN, BUT EVEN THEY HAD NO IDEA HOW THIS PARTICULAR BREAKAGE COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE.*AK

CONSUMER'S WIFE WAS DRIVING A LEASED GRAND, CHEROKEE, AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES. BROUGHT IT BACK, AND PARKED IT IN DRIVEWAY, TOOK FOOT OFF BRAKE, AND AUTOMOBILE IMMEDIATELY TOOK OFF .

ROTORS WARPED PREMATURELY - CAUSE UNSAFE SHAKING WHEN APPLY BRAKES OVER 50 MPH

VEHICLE WAS MAKING POPPY NOISE COMING FROM STEERING, AND PASSENGER'S LOCK WOULDN'T LOCK AT TIME. VEHICLE PULLED OVER,, BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE WILL EXPERIENCE A "BOUNCE" IN FRONT WHEELS, AND STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED DUE TO POOR PERFORMANCE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM ,AND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. THESE REPAIRS HAVE FAILED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

IF I WAS TRAVELING AT A CERTAIN SPEED AND I APPLIED MY BRAKES, MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT. MY JEEP WAS LESS THAN SIX MONTHS OLD AND THERE COULDN'T BE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT....YET. I BLEMED THE ROAD CONDITIONS AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. THE VIBRATIONS GOT WORSE BUT THE ROADS WHERE THE SAME. I TOOK IT IN THE DIRECT AUTO PLAZA, IN EL CENTRO CA. AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY ROTORS, THEY WERE WARPED. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS "NORMAL" WEAR AND TEAR AND THAT WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE FIXING OF THE ROTORA. THEY WHERE GOING TO CHARGE ME 350.00. I AM FRUSTRATED BECAUSE IF THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD AFFORD TO BE PUTTING 350.00 ADDITIONAL MONEY IN TO "NEW" VEHICLE EVERY 12-15 THOUSAND MILE. I FEEL THAT THE ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.*AK
