On 10-11-99 the above auto had a flat tire, which was replaced on the vech. By the factory original spare, a t155/90d16. The tires on the balance of the auto were p235/75r15. The spare was placed on the right rear. While driving a few short miles, the car seemed unresponsive in handling, and smoke/fluid started coming out of the transfer cases. The auto was then trailered to the jeep dealer listed. The next day the front and rear transfer cases were inspected, no damage was visible, seals and fluid replaced. Since that time, the rear of the auto has been "growling"(as the service tech called it). Now the diagnosis is axle problems possible, with the repair bill at approx $1500.00. My contention is that all of this was due to an incorrect size spare being placed in the vechile when manufactured. I have spoken to three engineers in the auto industry that say the problem began with the small spare. Has there been any other action with daimler chrysler/jeep on this issue? I am sending a letter today to jeep seekingresolution on the matter. Any suggestions.
4- wheel drive switch" intermittently appears at no specified driving time or speeds. Dealer says there isn't one to service and it could be an electrical malfunction which could take hours to find.
Total transmission failure. No help from chrysler. Dealer LED us to believe that chrysler would help with repair since it was so close to warranty, but they refused to cover any part.
Going down the highway at 65 MPH, noticed a metalic crunching sound, which became a chattering and whuring sound. Brought the vehicle into a local dealership, the mechanic said that it was a spun front pinion bearing. After the mechanic fixed the front end, the pinion bearing spun again, this time they had to order a whole new axel for the front end, the part took 42 days to be made. I'm not sure if the part took that long to be made, but I had stated that I wouldlike to purchase a new car, and only aftr I decided not to purchase the new car, because chrysler finacial was looking for more than a $6000 down payment. The part appeared after I told them I idn't want to buy the car. After the parts were replaced, the front end was fine, and I was over $6500 dollars poorer after renting a car and waiting for the part to be made.
When I had brought the vehicle into the dealership to have the power steering pump/gearbox to be replaced, I had mentioned that the front end of the vehicle was making a whuring sound. They were nice enough to fix and charge me for the new steering parts, but didn't think about calling me about the problem with the front end. I was a little bit concerned with the front end after spending $4800 on replacing the front end axle, bearings, and diff plate. They found that the front end had more of the same problems with it as before. They replaced the defective parts that were under warranty, and that took care of the problem.
Whenever slowing down or down shifting, transmission would make a clunking noise. Vehicle also jerked when slowing down. This caused driver to be thrown forward. Notified the dealership. Informed by mechanic problem not repairable.
Front differential failed shortly after putting the supplied spare on the right rear. Vehicle was sold used by dealership with 4 each p245 70r15 tires and a p225 70r15 spare. Owners manual says these tires are permitted...chrysler recall of 1996 models for donut spare indicates otherwise. Seeking reimbursement from selling dealer/chrysler for not equiping the vehicle in a safe and roadworthy manner. The federal safety agency should investigate and require warning notice be sent by chrysler to all owners...dah
Driving oh the highway at approx 65mph heard a strange noise coming from the rear differential, engine was powering down. Pulled over to the shoulder. Smoke and flames engulfed the car . Vehilce was totalled. Dealer was contacted.
While driving at 70mph rear axle broke. Had no warning. Right rear tire came off & passed vehicle. Pulled to side of road. Notified manufacturer & informed was a freak happening.
No summary listed for this vehicle.
Brake caliper failure was expressley warranted under chrysler's bumper to bumper policy, yet service threatened that if I continued complaining police would be called and I was charged $75.00 for the 'system' test. Ase certified mechanic indicated to me that left front caliper had failed to release, thus warping the brake disc. This very mechanic told me to go back to the dealer and get it repaired for free. But passport chrysler denied any malfunction, and pointed to driver negligence as the reason for the "stuck" caliper. Transmission failure occurred after warranty, and even though tsb's were abundant regarding defectively designed transmissions, again I was not even offered any assistance to repair the defunct transmission. Gee, I guess I'll buy a car there again.
Transmission had no warning signs of failure, fluid level and condition were both o.k. Transmission would slip in first gear, dealer rebuilt transmission and replaced overdrive unit.
My research on this issue shows a rather alarming rate of transmission failures on 1993-1995 jeep grand cherokees. Chrysler without any fight agreed to pay half the cost of repair. I believe they have been doing this with owners who call them to report the problem, in an attempt to keep debate quiet about potential for a recall. The failed transmission component was unavailable for replacement for 6 months due to "national back order". Both the dealer and the transmission shop who performed the work, indicated "...we see more of these than we should."
I am having my transfer case replaced for the second time on a 1994 jeep grand cherokee. My jeep has been sitting at the chrysler dealer for almost three weeks because the part is on "national backorder!" doesn't that tell you something right there!! I also almost got hit because the car would not turn or even move! I could not drive up a multi level parking deck because the turn was too tight! None of this seems to be a concern of daimlerchrysler! Chrysler has agreed to replae the defective part again, but they want me to pay a deductable of $400. What about my expense of a rental car. What about my inconveinience, what about my almost being hit because the car would not turn! I am not the only jeep owner that has had this problem. Each time I get the opportunity to ask an owner, it seems that they too have had this problem. One fellow went as far as contacting a lawyer. What further actions can I take- all I want is a new transfer case that will not "go bad" again and not to pay anything for it! I do only highway driving.
Transmission failed premturely at 62,000 miles.
While at idle, with vehicle in drive, transmision seems to ingage attempting to move vehicle foreward. So far increased foot pressure on brake has kept vehicle from moving more than a few inches and has kept out of perpendicular flow of traffic.
While driving at 70mph the electronic transmission shifter caused the vehicle to drop out of overdrive, causing the vehicle to jerk into a lower gear very hard. Consumer says it was like slamming the brakes very hard. Dealer has been contacted.
`while driving the automatic transmission malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to stop suddenly, almost causing an accident. Had to be towed, and mechanic stated needs to replace the transmission. Please provide further details.
Vehicle began to roll backwards with no one inside and no keys in ignition.
Vehicle not designed with a brake pedal shift interlock, allowing vehicle to be shifted out of park while unintentionally depressing gas pedal, resulted in two accidents prior to the recall.
Automatic transmission would not shift into different gears, and it would leak transmission fluid. The owner has had the transmission rebuilt. The dealer repaired the vehicle.

Gear shifter not going into park properly and is loose, tightened loose shifter linkage.
