Page 8 of 14: complaints 191 to 220 of 385, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.

On 8-4-01, I placed my 1999 jeep in park and left the SUV to get directions on parking at a sporting event. A friend of mine, was in a vehicle in front of me and looked back and noticed that my jeep was backing up all by itself? I ran back, caught it and luckly my 2yr old son and no one around was physically injured or worse. No damage to any other vehicle was caused, but I am concerned that this occured and never has happened in the past. I called jeep and all they could tell me was to report this to you and that they are cooperating with your agency on this issue. At this time, there is nothing they can do for me. ??
