The first month or so, my car would randomly die on me, whether I was stopped at a red light, or driving, regardless what speed I was going. I was able to start the car up immediately afterwards and continue like nothing happened. A few weeks later it wouldn't start at all.called mechanic, he changed the coil. Drove great for a month or so. Then it started doing the same thing. Took the jeep to the shop. Had fuel filter, fuel pump put in. Ran good for a couple of weeks before it started all over again . Progressively got worse. This time before it died it would buck violently a few times due to dying and starting itself up while driving, accompanied with a really weird odor, like rotten eggs. I then pulled over, turn the car off and check to see if my car was on fire (not). Started the car and drove home ,(7 miles). The next day in the process of taking the jeep to the shop, the jeep bucked on and off 3 different times, the smell was intense when a glowing fireball launched out from the rear the size of a baseball scattering all over the freeway. At this point I pulled over and shut the engine off and ran away from it. Called mechanic he drove the jeep to the shop 20 miles. In this process jeep died 2 different times in which it took a while before it would start and drive again. Had cat converter and o2 sensor put in. Drove good no problems for 2 months or so. Problem came back mechanic took the new cat converter of . I drove it for a few weeks until it died now it is parked.

Car will not start. Engine turns over but doesn't start. The autoshop told me that the fuel pump is shot. I went on to some jeep forums and there was a considerable amount of people that also had the same problem. After contacting the jeep help line, they basically told me that the car is 10 years old and that I could find anything I wanted on the internet, but for a jeep 1995 that is 9 years old they did submit a recall for the same problem I am having. He was very rude to me also. In these forums I found that people that filed a small claims lawsuit against jeep were paid out of court. So it seems like they know about the problem but are trying to stay away from fixing the problem. Most people have had to replace the fuel pump about 3 to 4 times and it still hasn't fixed the problem. Also to fix the fuel pump it costs about $500 per incident.

94 grand cherokee. This will be the forth time that I have replaced the fuel pump in my jeep. Same behavior, stalls without notice while decelerating or letting off the accelerator. If not replaced right away it will not stay started when you first start it for the day. Eventually it will not start at all. I also had to replace the driver side door hinge which came completely off the door. It was making popping noise when opening and shutting of the door. Had it check on several occasions and was told that jeep had a problem with the doors. Eventually the door fell off. I have never seen this before. I was shocked to find out that a door was $1600.00. My back door on driver side is popping as well. I guess I don't open and shut the back as much. But the body shop said it will eventually fall off. Have there been any other concerns like these two.
