The vehicle vibrates and pulls to the right when the brake is applied, possibly due to rotors problem. The consumer received recall on the same problem and got rotors replaced. A year later the brake problem reoccured and the rotors had to be resurfaced. However the problem was still not fixed.
The driver's window refused to close and the passenger window slides down the door panel.
Dealership said these defects were not covered fuel sending unit sends wrong level of gas in tank, brakes failed pulsated full brake job was done , rear windsheild wiper doesn't work at times.
Latest failure is the heater blower motor block connector, this item shorted out causing the smell of burning in the vehicle. Automotive technician at the repair facility stated that they have seen this in other jeep vehicles. He stated the problem is the connector goes from a 14ga wire on the front side(hot) to a 12ga wire to the components of the vehicle. Jeep has stated they cannot tell if the short is a manufacture related problem, and comments by service managers lead me to believe they lean toward it being a customer problem. Customer/technican assistance at the corprate level will not even investigate/inspect unless there is a flame noted, seems a little late to me!
Dealer sold vehicle with leaking rear seals, defective differential. Noticed bumping and whining noise less than 8 hours after purchase. Sun roof leaked causing the headliner to detach from roof of vehicle. Repaired once-said drain tubes were routed properly. Second time replaced roof-said seals did not match. Rear differential replaced. But did not address leakage around transfer case, seals etc in dec 98. Now it's in the shop again! Gas gauge fluctuates to empty when idling. Transmission slips. Driver seat automatiically reclines and heater does not work consistently.
Rear windshield wiper.
Engine, muffler, sunroof, brakes, cruise control.
Rear axle assembly failed. Mjs
I am a friend who will describe the problems that celena has encountered with her grand cherokee laredo. The first, she noticed a spraying of oily fluid near the top of the radiator more towards the area near the battery. At that point, she noticed that the interior portion of the hood had some dark oily spot. I has suspicion that it had originated from a leaking 3/8 -1/2" fitting attached to the side of the radiator and leading towards the bottom of the transmission. She brought it in the dealership for an inspection. Master mechanic inspected the suspected area. Due to the fact that the transmission fluid line connects to the radiator to allow the oil to cool or something like that. Anyways, they went ahead and placed teflon tape at the area. Problem #2, I notice some oil on the front driver side floor mat. The location of the spill had occurred underneath, to the left, of the steering wheel column or underneath where they would place the connector to perform the computer diagnostic . The area would be where the left foot would normal rest on the mat. The area of the spill was about 8" in length and 3" in width. The viscosity would be of a dirty brake fluid oil, hydraulic, or power steering fluid. The amount would be about 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoon full. I am concerned that it could be damaging something if the oil vacated a reservoir/fluid line or the risk that the brakes can fail if it is brake fluid. Problem #3 - right rear passenger window intermittently does not move up or down when it is opened or closed. Thxs in advance...please help.
Electrical system malfunctioned, due to poor performance.
Side view mirror fell off on freeway.
Automatic window switch failed.
Rear light panel failed. Yh
