1999 defective chrysler grand jeep cherokee.***no answer required***. *mr the consumer experienced repeated problems with the rotors, pads and calipers. The consumer has experienced hard vibration not only in the front end of the vehicle, but the steering wheel, floor, seat and instrument panel. The vibration was so severe the consumer would lose control of the steering wheel. The rotors would heat up, the caliper froze. The intermediate shaft was replaced, the rear latch was lubricated due to squeaking. The battery was replaced because the consumer had a hard time starting the vehicle.
When adding windshield washer fluid, the hood came back down and hit me on the head. Very dangerous safety situation. According to the dealer the hood struts need to be replaced.
1999 jeep grand cherokee loredo exhibits the following problems: 1) lurch when shifting from park to reverse along with a noticeable 'thump' noise 2) humming noise at highway speed (65-75 MPH) that graduated into a sudden 'pop' noise. This issue caused a loud grinding noise which I am now trying to deal with. Dealership informed me that this was a common problem in 1999 and 2000 model year for rear differential due to diffential supplier to chrysler overtorqueing differential components. 3) driver's side door lock failure
One of the two rear liftgate pistons which are designed to hold up the weight of the liftgate snapped violently when opening the hatch. This piston shot up and wedged inside the crease bewteen the liftgate and body of the vehicle. Because it became wedged in this crease, thankfully the liftgate did not fall hard therefore did not injure anyone. The car body is dented from the impact. The part replacement cost approximately $70. Jeep would not pay for the replacement part even though they admitted it was not something that should fail. Pistons holding up the vehicle hood also are faulty, as are the pistons that hold up the pop-up window glass. None of these pistons can reliabilbly hold the weight of the items they were designed for.
The vehicle experienced multiple problems. The horn failed. The interior lights failed. The door locks were inoperative. The ABS light and the brake light came on and remained on. The vehicle overheated when at idle for more than a few minutes. This problem has been addressed more than three times with no resolution. The brakes vibrated and this has been a problem since the first year of purchase. The consumer has requested jeep to buy back the vehicle. Mr scc
The air bag light was intermittent. *jb the passenger side window and the driver side lock assembly was inoperative. The dealer was not willing to do anything to help. Scc
The wind gust from an oncoming semi caused the hood on my 99 jeep grand cherokee to pop open. The secondary latch held thankfully
Vehicle's hood came crashing down suddenly and without any warning on my head while I was trying to check the engine oil level. Dealer's representative rather non-chalant about it. Could cause serious injuries as hood is heavy and bulky. I rarely check the oil level. Dealer's service people have lifted the hood a lot more than I have had during servicing. Is a definite safety hazard. Told to use broom handle to prop hood up like the service techs do at the dealership. There should be a fix and recall of defective parts, especially when dealer service personnel are using broom sticks to prop the hood up to prevent the sudden dropping of the hood.
