The 2001 jeep just came to a stop while it was being driven on the highway. It had always had engine issues. The front wheel suspension on the passenger side of the 2001 jeep cherokee laredo is bent and while driving it on the street or highway it causes the vehicle to pull to the left and is unstable when driving it on a highway or street. The engine has a knocking sound whenever it is running. The brakes to the vehicle has been slipping and making a grinding noise while driving it. Sometimes the jeep doesn't want to drive over 70 MPH when driving in the highway or street. We have had to replace the brakes because they started smoking while driving on the highway. There is electrical issues with the car as well where the radio doesn't play as well as other electrical parts don't work. My 2001 jeep has stopped while my husband was driving it on the highway and it is not drivable. I have had to replace the ignition coil and spark plugs many times for many years. There has always been a water leak on the passenger side dripping whenever the car is in motion, coming from the dashboard onto the carpet since the car was purchased. There may be other issues with the 2001 jeep that I have missed.

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.

On sept.2, 2014 I had my 2011 jeep grand cherokee towed to the nearsest dealer, milford chrysler, milford, pa. I was driving the day before with family when the vehicle suddenly stalled in an entrance to a parking lot just avoiding an accident. Message center showed key not detectable. Several attempts later it turned over. To play it safe I returned home to exchange vehicles. It was making hissing sounds so I left it out of the garage. The next day, it was still making noises. I called for a tow to the dealer. I called chrysler and they advised me of a recall but that the engineers were still trying to determine why but that the tipm was malfunctioning. I was also told that a final recall would not come out for about 3 months! I had no choice but to get my vehicle repaired. They had to replace the battery, fuel pump, tipm for a total out of pocket cost of $2493.98. Chrysler eventually reimbursed me for the total amount. On november 20,2015 I went out and found that my blinkers did not work. In fact, when engaged, the fog lights blinked and or flashed. I took it to my original dealer, r.I. Suresky in goshen, new york. They ran a scan and found that it was caused by the tipm ! This makes tipm #2!. I called chrysler, the final verdict, it was not covered by the recall (fuel pump related only). The tech replaced the tipm yet again at an out of pocket cost to me of $1043.40. On october 21, 2016 the engine light came on. I have an appointment at suresky's on monday october 24 to run a diagnostic on it. Could it be tipm related? We'll see. I feel that chrysler owes me $1043.40 for having parts ( never available immediately by the way) that are defective and place people in very dangerous situations on the road.

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 took my vehicle into larson jeep dodge in puyallup, wa to have two recalls preformed. One of the open recall campaigns are recall f25. This recall involves replacing the electric cooling fan. If not replaced it could separate causing damage to the radiator, engine, or bodily injury. I picked up my vehicle on the day that it was in the service department. I signed and was giving a repair order number jecs380694 dated 2/25/2016. The invoice states the recall was preformed and the cooling fans were replaced as directed by the recall campaign. On the drive back to my residence I noted a rattle coming from the front of my vehicle with increased speed or when driving over bumps. When I returned to my residence I opened the hood to find out what was causing the rattle. I noticed none of the upper grill bolts were installed and the grill was loose. I then inspected the lower skid plate of the vehicle and noticed it was loose and unfastened as well. I then inspected the cooling fan blades and found they had not been replaced as directed by the recall or as stated on the repair order. I have attached a copy of the repair order and pictures of the unrepaired vehicle. I have opened a case with daimler chrysler, case #28814838. I did return back to larson dodge 2/26/2016 and requested the hardware back to fasten my grill and skid plate. The service manager and shop foreman inspected my vehicle at that time. They inspected, determined, and admitted the recall was not preformed. I informed them I would be returning home and contacting the vehicles manufacturer.

Vehicle was crashed into a cement pole head on. Radiator broken completely, engine as been pushed up all the way to the windshield, headlight flew off tires popped, yet airbag didn't deploy. As a result I suffer from chest and rib bruising from hitting steering wheel.
