Overhead display ceases to work. Online forums have pointed to a faulty wiring harness that has to be replaced at considerable cost. If the harness is faulty could it cause an electrical problem?

This jeep will run fine, but when it comes to red lights and idle, the car will shut off and not turn on again for atleast 10 minutes. Spent about 3,000 usd to fix at multiple mechanic and the issue remains. Why has jeep never taken the time to recall this issue as it can cause the lives of many drivers.

Gasoline odor/check engine light have had this vehicle machanically checked the smell of fuel on startup with window lowered is overpowering..the check engine light came on and I had the vehicle plugged into service computer..was told too check gas cap/replace..which I did..the gasoline odor is still present and the check engine light is back on..so new gas cap isnt the problem. There are no leaks anywhere on the engine or at the gas tank, yet the smell of fuel is still present. No gas line leaks...we need to make these trucks in america again with american parts. Have always owned jeeps have a 93 sport in my driveway right now, but this '01 may be my last...literally.

I am extremely concerned about my instrument panel. The problem is the vehcile is having odd interminent issues with the instrument panel. The gas light, the tachometer, the speedometer will stop working. The interior lights will come on. The windows will stop working, etc. This poses a danger since I don't know how fast I am going and my all my interior lights come on at night. I am extremely concerned about safety.

My vehicle shuts down intermediately while driving and sometimes while turning it on and while sitting in a stationary position at a light . I would like to have a recall because I know many people who have been in accidents and I would not like to be one them... I spent $3000 for a shop to look at it and still they do not know what is wrong with it. I do not want my family or myself to get into a crash because of faulty equipment. At the least I would like an explanation for why this is happening so I can get it fixed properly. But otherwise a recall for these vehicles would be rea suing to my family and I.

My jeep is doing several things that is cause for not driving it because it can cause a accident. It does not always just start. I have to move the steering wheel up & down ^ then it will start generally. When driving the jeep will rev up all of a sudden especially at stop signs. If I didn't have my foot on the brakes I could have caused a accident. Also I would have to keep my foot on the gas or it would die on me. These things have been going on for the last 2-3 months.when I put my jeep in reverse or in drive it makes a major clunking noise like my transmission is ready to fall out. This clunking noise started when all of the other problems started! I have emailed several websites & have not received a response to my problem!! Help!!!

A year ago automatic door locks and window switches on passenger's side, front and back, stopped working when passenger side front door interior light did not go on when driver's door was open. On occasion, door light would go on making everything operational. This was short-lived each time. Recent item about a gm recall listed this same problem, stating if the circuit board inside driver's door got wet, it could corrode the circuit board, possibly causing smoke or fire. My concern is a safety one. Was there a recall on this vehicle. It is a 2001 jeep grand cherokee limited, purchased by a relative in 2001 and transferred to me in 2007.
