2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

THE ENGINE CRANKS AND RUNS FINE BUT AFTER YOU DRIVE FOR A WHILE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING OR COMING TO A STOP. IT IS RANDOM. IT USUALLY STARTS BACK UP AND RUNS FINE UNTIL NEXT TIME. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES, YOU DO NOT HAVE STEERING ASSIST OR BRAKE ASSIST. IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER IT OFF THE ROAD. A WOMAN MAY HAVE A HARD TIME STEERING IT OR STOPPING IT. I DON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE OUR JEEP MUCH AT ALL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE CITY OR ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT DECIDES TO SHUT OFF. OUR JEEP IS A 4WD WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

ON APRIL 14, BOTH OF MY FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT REASON WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING STATIONARY IN DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE.

I HAVE CALLED THE RECALL HOTLINE 4 TIMES SINCE THE INITIAL EVENT, AND EACH TIME THEY PUT A NOTE IN MY CASE NUMBER AND PROMISED AN INSPECTOR WOULD CALL. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.

DRIVER'S SEAT DETACHES FROM CAR FRAME. ELECTRICAL BLOWER MODULE RESISTOR OVERHEATS, MELTS, AND BURNS. BOTH ISSUES ARE KNOWN BY CONSUMERS AND DEALERSHIPS, SO THERE IS NO WAY JEEP/CHRYSLER DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE DESIGN FLAWS AND THE DANGER. DRIVER'S SEAT: THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF CHATTER ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THE DRIVER'S SEAT DETACHMENT FROM THE CAR FRAME AND THE REASON FOR IT. PEOPLE HAVE CREATED VARIOUS FIXES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK WELL. AS ADDED PROOF, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DRIVER'S SEAT IN ANY JUNK YARD. PLEASE GO LOOK FOR YOURSELF. MINE TOTALLY BROKE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, NEARLY CAUSING A WRECK. IT'S TERRIBLE AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL AND SOMEONE HELD CRIMINALLY LIABLE FOR THIS. BLOWER MOTOR MODULE: LOTS OF CHATTER ON THE INTERNET AS WELL AS TO THE PROBLEM AND THE CAUSE. MINE MELTED AND BECAME SO HOT THAT I COULDN'T TOUCH IT WITHOUT BURNING MY HAND - WHICH I DID. THERE IS A FIX, BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY AN UPGRADE MODULE WHICH STILL GETS HOT. ALSO, THE MODULE TURNS THE BLOWER IN REVERSE, SO YOU HAVE TO REVERSE THE LEADS. IT'S DANGEROUS AND AGAIN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON IT EITHER AND SOMEONE HELD CRIMINALLY LIABLE.

WIRES GET HOT THAT LEAD TO THE HEATER/AC FAN. THE INSULATION OF WIRE AND CONNECTOR MELTS. THIS CAUSES THE HEATER TO GO OFF AND BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY AND FREQUENTLY UNLESS YOU WIGGLE THE WIRES.
