2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

ROTORS WERE COMPLETELY WORN OUT. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM. ROTORS WARPED, AND THE VEHICLE SHIMMIED, AND SHAKEED VERY BADLY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

THE VEHICLE IS "HOPPING" UP TO STOP SIGNS/STOP LIGHTS. THE STEERING WHEEL SHUDDERS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT 50-60 MPH. THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS FAULTY FROM DAY "ONE", AND HAS BEEN DISASSEMBLED AND REASSEMBLED/ PARTS REPLACED UP TO FOUR TIMES. IT WILL BE FINE FOR AWHILE THEN THE WHINNYING/WHISTLING/GROANING PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE UNTIL I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS REPAIR IS FAULTY FROM THE FACTORY. *TS *JB ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS****761448

THE ROTORS BECAME WARPED CAUSING VEHICLE TO WOBBLE AND STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE WHERE CONSUMER CAN NOT HOLD STEERING WHEEL. DEALER CONTACTED.*JB

JUST BEFORE 10,000 MILES, THE BRAKES STARTED TO SHUDDER WITH EVERY BRAKING MOTION. IT STEADILY GOT WORSE. I CHECKED A FEW WEBSITES, CALLED CHRYSLER AND DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS NO DOUBT THE ROTORS ON THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. THE CHRYSLER PHONE REP ALL BUT ADMITTED THAT THEY HAD HEARD OF THIS IN OTHER YEARS OF GRAND CHEROKEES AND THE WEBSITES CONFIRMED THAT. I TOOK IT IN ON FEBRUARY 15, 2002, TO THE DEALER. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE ROTORS WERE BAD AND REPLACED THEM. THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME BECAUSE I HAD JUST HIT 10,000 MILES, BUT INDICATED THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER FUTURE SUCH FAILURES. FROM MY WEBSITE READING, I LEARNED THAT A RECURRENCE WAS HIGHLY LIKELY. WITHIN THE LAST TEN DAYS, I HAVE NOTICED THE SHUDDERING OF THE BRAKES COMING BACK -- AS BEFORE, I EXPECT IT WILL GET WORSE AND I WILL NEED ANOTHER ROTORS REPLACEMENT. I AM NOW AT 12,488 MILES SO THESE ROTORS ARE FAILING FAST. IT SEEMS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE IF THE BRAKES WILL HOLD PARTICULARLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT'S VERY DISCONCERTING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SHAKE AS YOU BRAKE. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR THIRTY YEARS, HAD SEVERAL NEW CARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE EVER. I DO NOT RIDE MY BRAKES, HAVE A PERFECT DRIVING RECORD, AND KNOW FROM THE WEBSITES THAT THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH GRAND CHEROKEES OF MORE RECENT VINTAGE. I ANTICIPATE THE DEALER WILL TELL ME I HAVE TO PAY NEXT TIME, AND I FEEL THIS WOULD BE WRONG. NOT ONLY SHOULD THE WARRANTY COVER IT, BUT CHRYSLER SHOULD FESS UP THAT THERE IS

THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD WITH 19,000 MILES AND MY FRONT ROTORS ARE WARPED. I'M EXPERIENCING SEVERE PULSATING IN THE STEERING WHEEL UPON BRAKING AT ANY SPEED. DEALER TELLS ME THE WARRENTY IS ONLY GOOD FOR 1YR OR 12,000 MILES. THEY SUGGEST I HAVE THEM CUT AT MY COST. ALL OF THE MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY.*AK

MUST BE A DEFECT WITH ALL CHEROKEES'S(GRAND LAREADO) 2001 AND UP .. ALL HAVE STEERING PROBLEMS THIS IS MY 3RD ATTEMPT TO TRY TO GET CORRECTED .*AK

MY COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH DAIMLER-CHRYSLER, THEIR FILE REFERENCE IS 9879536.THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT ABOUT 14,000 MILES DUE TO WARPAGE. THE SAME CONDITION HAS RECURRED NOW AT 30,120 MILES (I.E., THE NEW ROTORS HAVE ABOUT 16,000 MILES ON THEM. THE DEALER SAYS THAT JEEP USES A POOR QUALITY PRODUCT FROM THEIR SUPPLIER. WHILE THE WARRANTY IS 12,000 MILES, THE ROTORS MEET THAT MINIMUM. HOWEVER, OTHER MANUFACTURERS APPLY A 36,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEIR BRAKE SYSTEMS WITH THEIR ROTORS NOT WARPING AT ALL, EVEN BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY PERIOD. FOR EXAMPLE, MY BROTHERS FORD F150 HAS OVER 70,000 ON THE ORIGINAL BRAKES & PADS, WITH ABOUT 1/4 " PAD REMAINING...AND NO WARPAGE, NOR "SKEWING" ON THE ROTORS. IT IS MY FEELING THAT JEEP HAS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE ROAD. FURTHERMORE, SINCE THE OTHER 19 NHTSA REPORTS THAT I'VE READ HAVE NO ACCIDENTS OR PROPERTY LOSSES, THERE HAS BEEN NO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TAKEN ON JEEP. NEVERTHELESS, IF JEEP WANTS TO CUT COSTS, DON'T DO IT WITH A CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEM LIKE THE BRAKES. THEIR ROTORS JUST BARELY LAST THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD. BUT JUST WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A DEATH DUE TO THE FAILED BRAKES. I'M MOST DISAPPOINTED IN DAIMLER AND CHRYSLER.*AK

I LEFT MY JOB SITE, EXITING AT A GATED DRIVEWAY. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, OR SO I THOUGHT, AND OPERATED THE PARKING BRAKE. I THEN EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE MOTOR STILL RUNNING, IN ORDER TO CLOSE THE GATE BEHIND THE VEHICLE. AS I TURNED BACK TO THE VEHICLE, AFTER LOCKING THE GATE, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE "REVERSE BACK-UP LIGHTS" WERE ON. THAT WAS A POSITIVE INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WAS IN "REVERSE" NOT "PARK." LUCKILY, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE TOWARDS ME. I THEN RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE VIA THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, AND OBSERVED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER WAS ACTUALLY IN "REVERSE" CONFIRMING WHAT WAS INDICATED BY THE BACK UP LIGHTS BEING ON. PUZZLED THAT THIS HAPPENED, I ATTEMPTED ON SEVERAL TRIES OF SHIFTING THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER TO ASCERTAIN IF I COULD RECREATE THE SAME CONDITION (I.E., OF SHIFTING INTO "PARK" BY "FEEL" AND ACTUALLY STOPPING IN "REVERSE" ONE POSITION SHORT OF THE "PARK" POSITION). I WAS ABLE TO DO SO, THAT IS, INCORRECTLY STOPPING AT "REVERSE." SINCE I DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT MOST WEEKNIGHTS, I WOULD NORMALLY SHIFT THE CAR INTO "PARK" BY FEEL. PLEASE NOTE THAT I SPENT NEARLY SIX YEARS SERVICING JEEPS, TRUCKS AND OTHER WHEELED VEHICLES FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD AS A RESERVIST, AND AS SUCH FEEL FULLY QUALIFIED TO OFFER THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM. SUFFICE IT TO ALSO POINT OUT THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING WHILE FULLY OPERATIONAL IF THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN "REVERSE." THE "DE

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RIGHTS DO I HAVE TO REQUEST THE MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE THESE SEAT BELTS. *AK

DURING SLOW SPEED TURNS IN REVERSE OR FORWARD, STRANGE GRINDING AND HONKING NOISES COME FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE IN AXLE AND STEERING AREA. CAN ALSO FEEL THE GRINDING SENSATION. HAVE CONTACTED DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND AM TOLD THERE IS A PENDING RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THAT THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT NOR HAVE THEY RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS NECESSARY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. APPEARS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO NHTSA TSB SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBERS 0300101A & 1900401 (NHTSA ITEM NUMBERS SB625612 & SB621896). WERE ASSURED BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT PROBLEM WILL NOT HARM VEHICLE IN LONG-RUN, AND THAT WE CAN DRIVE IT NORMALLY UNTIL RECALL ITEMS ARE RECEIVED AT SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WE'RE CONCERNED HOWEVER ABOUT SAFETY FACTORS AND POSSIBLE LONG-TERM DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY AS WE'VE BEEN GIVEN NO ETA ON WHEN WE CAN HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED.*AK

WITH 9,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THERE WOULD BE A VIBRATION DURING APPLICATION OF BRAKES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. DEALERSHIP TURNED ROTORS AT 12,000 MILES WHICH TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE PROBLEM.

THE ROTORS ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAVE WARPED WHILE DRIVING UNDER LIGHT CONDITIONS (NO TOWING). I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 98 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHICH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. DURING NOVEMBER OF 2001, I FIRST ENCOUNTERED THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF MY VEHICLE WHILE STOPPING ON THE 405 FREEWAY IN LOS ANGLES. THE SHUTTERING AFFECTED MY BRAKING DISTANCE AND I NEARLY AVOIDED REAR-ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ROTORS HAVE WARPED SO SEVERLY THAT IT HAS IMPARED THE STOPPING ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE AND IS A HAZARD. THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH JEEP ROTORS (NHTSA HAS 120 ROTOR COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE...THE 2001 IS APPARENTLY FOLLOWING SUIT WITH THE FAULTY WORKMANSHIP) AND IT IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS FOR DAIMLER-CHRYSLER TO KEEP INSTALLING THE DEFECTIVE ROTORS ON OUR VEHICLES. I AM CURRENTLY FIGHTING THE DEALER TO REPLACE MY ROTORS AND HAVE SUGGESTED THEY DO SO WITH AN AFTERMARKET BRAND. THE DEALERS FEEL THEIR HANDS ARE TIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A WARPED ROTOR CRACKS AND SENDS A VEHICLE INTO A SEVERE ACCIDENT.*AK

BRAKES WERE PULSATING DUE TO WARPED ROTORS, WHICH DECREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS CAUSED STEERING WHEEL TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE HIGHER THE SPEED, THE MORE PRONOUNCED IT BECAME. DEALER'S REMEDY WAS TO SHAVE DOWN THE ROTORS.*AK
