Fuel/propulsion: the vehicle will run after starting for 5-8 minutes then the RPM's drop to 300 and acts like its going to stall; then.the car begins bucking, jerking, and revving up. There are loud clunks from the engine compartments. I have replaced the cam & crankshaft sensors, throttle position sensor and no change yet. Next I am going to replace the fuel pump, filter, the fuel line between them. Air bags: the airbag light goes on and off. The only fix I have read about is the clock spring...talk about money pit!! Brakes: yes. Front brakes have locked up and caused issues. Discs and calipers have been replaced. Also, driver's side break light is not functional. The tail lights work, but once the brake is depressed, the right and top lights work, but the driver's light is off. And just for fun...I've had to replace both side mirrors due to internal springs failing as well as both front window regulators and motors. When I went to autozone to get parts, they correct window regulator was under the 2000 model year; 1999 did not fit. We are gonna get rid of this jeep...chrysler needs a lesson in taking responsibility. We'll buy a toyota.

We have owned our 1999 grand cherokee since 1999 - its been a great car but every single issue listed on this website has befallen us. Currently @ 149k miles we have no heat on the driver side due to blend door assembly, the airbag light goes off all the time and there is no heat in the drivers side seat. I am shocked that so many people have the exact same issues and that to me says there is truly something wrong. We also took part in a class action suit that covered some of the expenses we had in continually replacing the brakes - especially the rotors which warp with out notice and can do that if you just step on the brakes to hard! Even if you have just had them replaced. Cheap parts? I am a die hard jeep owner but after reading all of these postings I am wondering if my alliance should be elsewhere?

No accident report to file but the potential associated with the air bag light intermittently going on/off while driving the 1999 jeep gcl. After viewing some postings on line there is a definite trend associated with these units. Easiest, least expensive fix is to pull fuse for the air bag controls, I put up with the annoying chime but wonder if the air bag will work during these intermittent faults. Have you seen any reports of accidents with 1999 jeeps with no air bag deployment??? Most apparent cause is the clockspring mechanism in the steering wheel, which only the dealer can repair. Time for a recall!!!
