What 1994 Jeep Cherokee owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Vehicle shuts down when slowing to a stop or deccelerating. Rear collision and side impact collisions have been narrowly avoided. Have tried 4 times to have it repaired but no one has made a solution. Chrysler customer service had neither offered advice nor interest in this matter.
Consumer complained about having problems with recall repairs that were performed on the floor shifter. It had actually made it worse on the shifter because the consumer had a hard time shifting gears. The manufacturer was contacted, and stated there was nothing that they could do. *ak it was difficult to place the shifter from reverse into park and would end up in neutral. *scc
The gear shift box failed and caused the drive shaft to fall out the vehicle.
The transfer case on the 4 wheel drive unit makes a "creaking" noise after it has been driven for more than 20 miles. The noise is most evident on coming to a complete stop and then turning (either left or right) after about 20 miles. I have replaced the drive shaft universals and inspected the cv joint in an effort to solve this problem. I have also had the rear transfer case seal replaced, although it has been leaking fluid at a very slow rate since it was replaced by my mechanic. I had two different mechanics inspect the problem and they are unable to isolate the problem other than it emanates from the area of the transfer case. The vehicle has less than 65,000 miles on it, a transfer case should not fail with mileage so low.
The vehicle violently jerked and did not accelerate past 20 MPH, the transmission was replaced twice.
Please add more information. Mr
While traveling the consumer notice smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle and found that the vehicle had caught on fire under rear driver side tire. The fire was started from the 4 wheel drive gear transfer case. Ohio traffic crash report (10-90-118)
I work for the university of illinois parking department. We had an incident where a jeep cherokee was rolling out of a parking space. The vehicle transmission was in park. The vehicle was originally parked on a upsloped ramp, and then began to slowly roll back out of the parking space. The rollout was very gradual. I was able to stop the vehicle by placing bricks behind the tires. When the owner came to get his vehicle, I was unable to communicate with him since he spoke spanish.
Vehicle was parked inside of garage area. After vehicle began running, without prior warning, it slipped into a reverse gear and backed out into the street. Driverside door was opened, and hit another vehicle. Dealership was aware of problem.
