My jeep grand cherokee is 2-wheel drive and is not taken off-road nor otherwise driven abusively. Despite this I have had four (4) engine mount failures since I purchased the vehicle. Some of the failing mounts were mounts that were previously replaced. In addition, the failed engine mounts have caused other damage to the transmission mounts and other engine parts which I have had to replace. The maintenance tech at lithia jeep informed me that the engine mount failures were a common problem but wwere not addressed in any recall or internal chrysler communication to the customers. I would like to have my replacement costs associated with the engine mounts and related repairs returned and would like to have improved engine mounts installed.
Beginning spring of 98 vehicle began to stumble-ever so slightly. By late spring it was cutting out. This was at about 50k. I had it tuned up. The problem continuted until it began to actually stall, especially at high rates of speed. It would always restart-in park-right away. This progressed to stalling at any speed and taking longer and longer to restart. On one particular trip this spring, we ran down the battery trying to get it started and were sold a "dealer" battery, to fix the problem. Two blocks from the shop it stalled again. It has been in one shop for a week, and another on 3 separate occassions. The last visit was for battery cable clamps and a fuel filter. Well the next day I drove my usual 371/2 miles to work, 12 hours later I went out started it and drove about 6 miles, parked. Half hour later, it would not start. After 1 3/4 hours later it started, 5 mi later stopped for a light and it stalled, in the middle of the stree for 1/2 hour. It started and I had no problems the remainder of the miles home at 70mph. There is so set speed with these stalls or warnings. Recently it restarted itself, as I was coasting to a safe shoulder area. Now it's parked again, I'm very afraid to drive it anymore. Please help me find the problem. Thanks pat m.
Exhaust manifold ,when driving, lost compression in motor. Dealer contacted, and stated engine manifold was cracked, stress related, and did not make a proper seal. Therefore, lost compression. Repairw ork done at owner's expense.
Vehicle has been at the dealer 32 times for a number of problems. The dealer has replaced motor mounts/tie rods/water pump and brakes. Manufacturer has been notified.
Crack was found on exhaust manifold during annual safety inspection. This required replacement due to hazard of exhaust gas leakage. Dealer and chrysler corp. Rep. Acknowledged that these cracks are occuring. Customer service rep. Indicated that cracks are occuring on vehicles used for towing or off-road use. My vehicle was never used for towing or off-road use. The crack occurs above the weld near the connection to the exhaust pipe. This is a stress fracture due to flexing of the exhaust system and extreme heat according to chrysler.
The air conditioner and horns went out immediately. They can't seem to find out what the problem is with the air conditioner. I was told "o"-rings, got new ones put on. Then it worked well for 3 or 4 days. Then it started not putting out cold air again. Still not fixed. They continue adding that new stuff. They put in, I forgot what it's called. The horns I used 3 days a week prior. As I picked up my niece to take her to school. Then, on top of it all, the alternator and water pump went out had to replace them. The battery died to, 11 months old, replaced. I feel this was all due to the car accident. According to most mechanics, it's normal wear.
