While making hard left turns at slow speeds (such as a u-turn), the airbag warning light illuminates and a audible chime is activated.

What a lemon! We are averaging $2000/year in repairs. Power windows that stop working, water pump breaks, brake rotors need replacing before brakes wear out, leaking differential, transmission, and now we're told by dealer service department we need a new transfer case. Whoever designed/built/sold this vehicle doesn't have much pride in their workmanship.

This vehicle has had several problems since date of lease. Although in this matter, engine blew after intial 36,000 mile coverage--diamler chrysler has agreed to pay half of repair amount. This agreement is unsatisfactory in my opinion and I wish to find out what my options are to resolve this matter and get into another vehicle. It was very fortunate that there was not a fatality involved as this happened on a major interstate with no warning.
My 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo had a new differential install edat 15,000 miles; two new front rotors at 36,000 and should have been done way before this; back brake drum cracked at 36,000 miles; front rotors redone again at 42000 miles; and now the motor at 52,000 miles. We had not indication (noise, etc) of the motor going, I was traveling aroung 5-10 miles per hour turning into our road and it felt like something heavy dropped out of the vehicle, it sounded like metal going through a fan. A piece of the block fell out onto the road and the people at the local dealer said they had never seen any thing like it before. It was like a bomb went off inside the motor. My question -- should chyrsler be responsible for this motor, it will be in the range of $6,000. Thank you.
The rear brake lights have failed 6 times. Nlm
Engine cuts off intermittently. Also, backfires intermittently. Dealer is aware of problems. Please provide further details.
On five occasions, at various speeds, vehicle stalled out and died without warning. Dealer has inspected vehicle several times,and has not been able to duplicate or correct problem..*ak vehicle failed nine more times and chrysler agreed to take vehicle back.
The engine, while in drive going ~60mph, from time to time, shifts into neutral and/or even shuts off completely on its own accord. At stop lights, stop sign, etc, while in drive with foot on brake, the engine shuts off on its own. I asked multiple dealers and reported it, they said it was a fuel problem. Please add this to your recent jeep grand cherokee "preliminary investigation".
Vehicle stalls when in idle position and ready to accelerate or when ready to shift from park to drive. Also will turn on maybe on 3rd try or none at all untill hours later.
I have taken my car into either courtesy motors in chico california or normandin jeep in chico california. Each time, my car was returned to me unrepaired. No safety defect listed in summary.
Have experienced numerous quality problems including the 4 wheel drive grinding and jumping, window function problems, rear washerhose leak into rear compartment, rough transmission into reverse from park, oil gauge failure and engine clicking noise during acceleration. Dealer on many occasions says they are normal for the truck to experience and not to worry. I don't believe them.
Vehicle is having many problems with ABS and brakes, on one occasion, front brakes locked up, causing skidding and shaking throughout steering wheel, tsb 879 has been complete, rotors have been found warped several times and have been replaced, brake pads have been replaced, pulsation and vibration are felt due to faulty brakes, however dealer can not remedy problem. Torque converter was replaced, consumer states that a noise is in the transmission after driving a while. Engine surges while driving at 55 MPH and above.
This vehicle is experiencing stalling problems, it stalls while in parking lots or when accelerating from a complete stop, the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was said to be fixed, however the problem occurred again, the consumer was told that the problem is known, but there is no fix for it.
This vehicle stalls intermittently when at a light/stop.vehicle restarts for now.one time vehicle stalled when moving and stopping in reverse and also when slowing for a yield sign.manufacturer very unconcerned about situation says mays have fix in novenber or december.
When stopping at red light and idle was at a normal rate vheicle would stall. Dealer had vehicle 4-5 times, but cause was still unknown. Also when braking and coming to stop, steering would start to pulsate. Dealer has rewinded drums, but defect kept occurring and cause was unknown.
While driving about any speed engine will stall without prior warning, and sometimes will not restart. Had to be towed.
