1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee: transmission slipping

Filed Mar 10, 2018 · Seat belts, Transmission · 81,000 miles · NY

1st issue is the seat belt buckles are almost impossible to disengage. They hang up so bad our 10 yr old grand daughter needs help to remove the belt. The belt for the driver has same issue to where it is even difficult for an adult to get it to unlatch. 2nd issue is the transmission slips when shifting from 2nd to 3rd when cold. When it has been driven for a few miles it shifts normal. This appears to be a problem a lot of jeep owners have. It is a noted problem in other chrysler vehicles with the 42re transmission. This issue should be addressed since it is so wide spread.

Had car 1 yr, 62,xxx mi; when we test drove with 36,xxx miles, the brakes shook violently when braking; dealer installed new rotors; 3 months later I replaced brakes; 3 months after that vibrating again - rotors turned and replaced brakes again; brakes are squeaking again now; in shop for third time for transmission problems - slips gears, clunking in low gears, won't shift, surges ahead when stopping; revs up prior to shifting; dealer keeps replacing parts to fix the problem; replaced 2 electrical window regulators (drivers & passengers side). This gorgeous vehicle is a nightmare.
