• 12/28/2006· POWER TRAIN

  WHILE DRIVING THE 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, THE VEHICLE'S DRIVE TRAIN SEEMS TO BE BINDING. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN, THE VEHICLE PRACTICALLY COMES TO A HALT. TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, 1ST TIME ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, AXLES AND ALL WERE REPLACED (NO CHARGE-THEY CLAIM THERE WAS A RECALL? I NEVER FOUND THIS RECALL) VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS AFTERWARDS BUT THEN HAS ACTED SIMILARLY EVER SINCE, DEALER CLAIMS THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. WHILE IN A PARKING LOT W/VEHICLE 'S ENGINE RUNNING, I DECIDED TO SHIFT TRANSFER CASE FROM HI TO LO (ALL TIME 4WD) AND NOTICED THAT THE SHIFTER DOES NOT INDICATE HI BUT DOES INDICATE LO. FOUND IT HARD TO FIND NEUTRAL TOO, THEN LIGHTS INDICATED "LO" WHEN SHIFTER WAS STILL ALLEGEDLY IN HI? NOT SURE BUT BELIEVE IT MAY BE A LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT ISSUE. IT MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY "LOCKED" IN POSITION. ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF, THE VEHICLE MOVED SLIGHTLY, SORT OF LIKE TRYING TO FIND A GEAR. SAME PROBLEM AS IT'S BEEN FOR THE PREVIOUS 6 YRS! *NM

• 12/28/1998· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  THE TWO FRONT ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING WARPED. THEY WERE REPLACED AT 7500 MILES APPROXIMATELY. TODAY, 12-28-98, THE TWO REAR ROTORS ARE BEING REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING WARPED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ACCEPTABLE THING CHRYSLER, SINCE THEY WON'T COVER THE ROTORS AFTER 12000 MILES OR TWELVE MONTHS. THE DISC BREAK SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED IF THE ROTORS KEEP WARPING IN MY OPINION. I DO NO TOWING OR SERIOUS HEAVY CITY TRAVELING. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINLY USED ON INTERSTATE FREEWAYS.

THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED FOR NON-OPERATIVE HORN AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK ON 3/20/98 TO BENKE CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH JEEP EAGLE. THE TECHNICIAN WORKED ON THE VEHICLE FOR 1 1/2 HOURS BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK OR TAKE IT TO ANOTHER SERVICE CENTER CLOSER TO ME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NOLF CHRYSLER DODGE INC. ON 3/30/98. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED BOTH HORNS TO BE FAULTY WITH INTERNAL SHORTS. THE HORNS WERE ORDERED AND REPLACED A WEEK LATER. I CONTINUED TO HAVE SEVERE SHOCKS WHICH I WAS ADVISED BY JEEP DEALERS WERE STATIC DISCHARGE. ON DECEMBER 15TH I WAS AWOKE BY THE CONSTANT SOUND OF THE HORN BLOWING ON MY VEHICLE. THE POLICE ARRIVED A SHORT TIME LATER. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO STOP THE HORN FROM BLOWING AND THEN CONTACTED BENKE CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH JEEP. I WAS ADVISED TO DISCONNECT THE HORN RELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN TO GIBSONIA (WITHOUT A HORN, ONCE AGAIN). THE TECHNICIAN WORKED ON THE VEHICLE FOR 2 HOURS AND I WAS ADVISED THE HORN RELAY WAS DEFECTIVE. I WAS AWAKEN AGAIN AT 11PM BY THE SOUND OF HORN GOING OFF AT MY HOME AND ONCE AGAIN THE POLICE ARRIVED. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO KNOWN CAUSE TO DATE FOR THIS DEFECT. THE HORN BLOWS FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE SETTING IDLE AND DOES NOT SHUT OFF TILL HORN RELAY IS PULLED OR BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED.

• 12/21/2009· VISIBILITY

  HAVE JUST BEEN ADVISED THAT A MOTOR WHICH OPERATES SOME TYPE OF DOOR TO RELEASE HEAT AND AIR IN A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT APPEARS THAT NO REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE AND JEEP HAS A 1200 PART BACKLOG WITH NO PLANS IN THE WORKS TO EVEN BEGIN PRODUCTION OF THIS PART FOR REPLACEMENT. WHILE ONE CAN CONCEIVABLY DO WITHOUT HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING, THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS HAVING A WORKING DEFROSTER IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER IS A NECESSITY. *TR

• 12/21/2008· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  JEEP STALLS INTERMITTENTLY,, SOMETIMES WITHOUT ANY WARNING, CAUSING STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP (ALMOST CAUSED AND ACCIDENT). HAVE TAKEN TO TWO MECHANICS WHO COULDN'T GET THE JEEP TO "REPLICATE" THE PROBLEM. IT ALSO WAS CUTTING OUT ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING,,THAT SINCE HAS STOPPED WITH INSTALLATION OF NEW COMPUTER. CHANGED CRANK SENSOR, IGNITION COIL, TUNE UP,,, AND THERE COMPUTERS (WILL HAVE A 4TH ONE INSTALLED THIS WEEK. CHRYSLER IS IGNORING THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND ITS COSTING PEOPLE SO MUCH MONEY. AND THE ACCIDENT FACTOR IS HIGH. PLEASE MAKE THEM DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!! *TR

• 12/19/2000· STEERINGCrash

  WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, AND WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING, STEERING WHEEL INSTANTLY LOCKED UP WHEN A LEFT TURN WAS INITIATED. TURN COULD NOT BE COMPLETED AND THE VEHICLE WENT OFF ROAD AND INTO A YARD BEFORE COMING TO STOP. NO INJURIES, BUT HAD SPEED BEEN HIGHER, OR AN OPEN YARD NOT AVAILABLE, THIS WOULD HAVE IN MY MIND BEEN A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC AND LIFE THREATENING EVENT. ENGINE WAS RUNNING, AND SERPENTINE BELT HAD NOT BROKEN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND REPORTEDLY HAD STEERING GEAR BOX REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED GIVEN THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A SERIOUS COLLISION.*AK
