1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee engine problems

Filed Jul 23, 2020 · Engine · GA · 1 injury

You are driving along on a highway doing 70 miles per hour and the car starts stopping this time you barely get onto the shoulder. Or, you are driving along the car stops you put on your flashers and you hear the trucks behind you breaking and sliding to the side of the road. I was in motion at least ten of the times the jeep decided to stop. I have had my grands in there all under five when we almost died but because I am on a fixed income with a 1999 jeep grand cherokee that you swear by I am just out of luck as your dealers all say they do not fix anythng that old I am guessing, as they could only fix it for ten years it should have only lasted ten years. The last time it happened I was sitting in a parking lot waiting for a tow for seven hours when I finally called my son to pick up his children and I had to stay another four hours on march 15, 2020. Finally got it towed to his house where it still sits as everyone of your dealerships have reasons for why they do not fix cars over ten years old. Perhaps part of your marketing should say after ten years you should throw it away because we are not going to fix it.

"takata recall" to be truthfully honest nothing about this jeep is safe I didn't know that I could put in a recall for this jeep because I thought it was too old and too late anyway sensors are horrible no turning signals , my belt assembly breaks a part while driving radiator gets really hot to the point of smoking even when my coolant is full I have sun roof problems because water leaks through it and floods the driver and passenger side trunk will not open my suspension is in great need of help it doesn't even bounce , alot of safety problems but like I said didn't know I could for file for a recall so I'm hoping that this can get recalled.

I have owned 8 jeeps and now have a beautiful dealershipl maintained grand cherokee limited 4.7l in my driveway with a bad engine. At 100k a rod bearing went bad and after that was fixed by me with great expense it now sits in the driveway with low compression and will not start. I have searched and found hundreds of ads with blown engines just in my area of southern california. There seems to be some common design flaws in the 4.7l that chrysler corporation has been hiding and we the people have been paying for it. Dealers deny any problems but yet on any given day the classifies are full of them. I love the vehicle in general that's why I have owned so many but feel taken advantage of and can't afford to drive a chrysler piece of crap anymore. I was stranded on the highway like many of us were and put in a perilous situations because of it with family in the car plus I was on crutches . Chrysler should being offering assistance because of their faults. I also just got done repairing the faulty blend door because of the lack of visibility.

The jeep engine shuts off unexpectedly. This occurs after approximately 25 minutes of driving. It can happen during high speeds on the highway 60 + MPH or during idle when stopped in traffic. This is extremely dangerous as I had to avoid several accidents. The jeep might start immediately after a short wait, or can take a day and start with the same problem. The gauges go off, with the fuel showing empty, then the engine simply cuts off without any prior warning. You lose all power, brakes, steering etc... This is a serious problem that appears to be documented all over the internet without chrysler stepping forward to make the necessary corrections that might eventually save lives. It does this problem, whether you are idle condition, making a turn, traveling a short distance or on the highway in a middle lane surrounded in traffic doing 65. The weather also has no effect as it has occurred during warmer weather and cooler weather. I am lucky to be alive as I recently avoided a rear end collision.

Excessive engine knocking with power loss and abnormal driving capabilites. Sounds like bad internals. Suspension causes "death wobble" at cruising speeds. Engine happens anytime engine is running producing large quantities of smoke from tailpipe.

Out of know where the engine just started knocking, and the smell of gas and the steering wheel started acting out of control. I had to park it and get another car. But I still have it because I really like my jeep!
