1994 Jeep Cherokee transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 38 of 38, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On three separate occasions the vehicle jumped from park to drive and instead of going forward the vehicle went forward, the consumer was able to stop the vehicle by depressing the brake. Nlm
Consumer got in vehicle, turned it on and vehicle revved backward and it started spinning around. Vehicle was crashing into other vehicles. Vehicle stopped on its own. Manufacturer sent an investigator to inspect, but no problem was found. *ak consumer states brake lock cable shifted.
Transmission: no prior problem. Total failure without warning required total rebuilt including overdrive gears. Fuel pump: intermittent stall issue over past 9 months. Engine stalls occurred without warning anywhere from idle to 70 MPH. Appears problem occurs due to plastic fuel tank (?).
Transmission has to be rebuilt @ $2,344.68. I do not tow. On 06/19/00 (94290) transmission failed again. I was charged $115.75 to replace anti drain back valve. On 11/14/00 (101,000) trans needs repair again. Service manager says it is out of warranty and there is nothing free chrysler or he will do. I am stuck. Help me.
While driving on highway travelling 75 MPH, all of a sudden transmission failed and rpms went up. Engine was racing. Also, noticed that the overdrive light came on prior to acceleration. Took vehicle to dealer, it needed a new transmission.
Was driving vehicle when the tire went flat. Placed the spare tire on vehicle, which was p22570r/15. The other 3 tires were 24570r/15. The front differential overheated & failed due to having a smaller tire on vehicle. Taking vehicle to dealer to check.
Transfer case viscous coupling malfunctioned, causing a loss of control while driving. Dealer has been contacted.
Viscus coupler failure parts are a national backorder 3month waiting period. If this is not a safety recall I don't know what is? If this part should fail at a high rate of speed, loss of drivetrain, lockup of drivetrain could cause deadly accidents. How can they have a three month national backorder, without this being a major defect!
Vehicle experience loss of both front and rear differential(after spare tire changed). Dealer notified and made repairs. After 28 miles, condition reoccurr dealer informed consumer that failure was due to spare tire. Can the federal safety agency provide addtional information or help in this matter.
Loud noise upon breaking, caused by the suspension compressing and forcing the driveshaft cv joints to bind while entering the transfer case.
Vehicle was backed down driveway, stopped then shifted into first gear. Driver heard popping noise, car would not move. After being towed to garage, dealer states that pinion gear in rear differential was broken, pinion gear was all shrapnel. Because casing was broken, rear axle must be replaced. This major component should not have broken on a vehicle with only 31,000+ miles.
The rear differential was leaking oil. Smelled smoke & pulled over. Got out of vehicle & checked. Noticed flames near rear. Moved away & it was engulfed in flames. Insurance inspector is looking at it. Fire department assumed it was in rear differential.
