From delivery date I notice a squeal and whining noise at highways speeds, when the gas is unapplied.
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee suspension complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 76 of 76, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Our 99 jeep grand cherokee is 4 months old and is nothing but trouble; the transfer case was replaced, the car makes a grinding noise at highway speeds and the dealer thought the replacement of the transfer case would solve the problem. It didn't however. Furthermore the gear oil had to be replaced because the car would buck and even stall sometimes when I would make tight turn. Furthermore the transmission is sometimes clunking. Our power window needs a new motor. The car keeps on pulling to the right and that still hasn't been fixed. We have been very disappointed and wish the lemon law would be a little bit more protective of consumers than car dealers and manufacturers.
Oscillating noise/virbration coming from front, under drive at 70mph,disappears under coast.
Loud banging on the rear floorboards over any bumps. Dealer and manufacturer say it's a ball joint on the new design of the rear suspension. They currently don't know how to fix the problem.
At 200 miles consumer noticed a hissing noise in the steering column area and anoise in the rear end area. Dealership said it was a problem with steering a pinion gear failure. Dealer changed the pump, then the steering box. The second time noise still persisted. Manufacturer said there was no solution. Also, it was not a saftey problem. The they changed the pinion gear, and it did not correct the problem. Sent another representative from jeep, and he wanted to change the gear box. Vehicle has been at dealersip for 1 1/2 months thus far.
Idle goes up and down at stop. Idle goes up and jeep will gain speed without foot on gas. Idle goes up and jeep will gain speed in reverse. Idle "burps" at stop and jeep jumps like it was hit from behind. Rear end whines while traveling and get louder till 75mph then mostly subsides. Transmission was replaced ( for no reason we could tell) to stop whine. Whine continues in the rear end. Dealer states "normal". Steering wheel shakes on extreme left or right turns forward or reverse until transmission was replaced. Dealer stated shaking was normal. Jeep has 2000 miles.
