2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Complaint Log

WHILE IDLING IN PARK VEHICLE JUMPED INTO REVERSE, RESULTING IN A COLLISION. DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE.*AK CONSUMER STATES THIS HAPPENED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. *SLC

WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR WHEN SLOWING, VEHICLE WOULD CUT OFF COMPLETELY -- LOSING ALL POWER. IT WAS CHECKED BY DEALER ON THE SECOND DAY OF PROBLEM OCCURRING. THEY INITIALLY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. WAS RETURNED TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY NOR CHRYSLER HAD A FIX FOR IT. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN WITH THE DEALER SINCE OCTOBER 5, 2000. TODAY'S DATE IS NOVEMBER 22, 2000. SUPPOSEDLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER WHICH CHRYSLER WAS TO HAVE THE FIX AVAILABLE THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER. NOW DUE TO SOME OTHER REASON THE FIX WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER JANUARY 1, 2001. CHRYSLER IS SUPPOSED TO CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS A RESOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. *AK

HAD REPLACED BRAKE ROTORS TWICE AND IS HAPPENING A THIRD TIME. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE INFORMED BY SOMEONE WITH AUTHORITY AND ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD "NO" BY A SECRETARY OF CHRYSLER. THERE IS NO WAY OF TALKING TO ANYONE WHO HAS ANY STANDING OR WHO MAKES THESE DECISIONS. PLEASE HELP. SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON VEHICLE THINKING THAT IT IS RELIABLE. PLEASE RESPOND WITH SOME ADVICE. *AK

VEHICLE WAS MAKING POPPY NOISE COMING FROM STEERING, AND PASSENGER'S LOCK WOULDN'T LOCK AT TIME. VEHICLE PULLED OVER,, BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTERMITTENTLY, WON'T SHIFT PROPERLY AND VEHICLE BUCKS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER 7 TIMES, CANNOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM STARTED AT 9000 MILES.*AK

REAR TAILGATE WINDOW SHATTERED FOR UNKNOWN REASON; DEALER NOTIFIED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

CONSUMER STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES NINE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. *PH THE CONSUMER HAD ROTORS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THERE WAS AN EXCESSIVE CRANK WHEN THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP QUAD RING. THE TAIL LIGHT BULB AND WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED. *JB

CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOWING ON THE DIPSTICK, THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT FROM DRIVE TO A LOWER GEAR, AFTER 4 VISITS TO THE DEALER IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSMISSION VENT TUBE WAS MISSING, WHICH THE FACTORY FAILED TO INSTALL.*JB

THE QUADRA DRIVE SYSTEM INCLUDES THE DIFFERENTIAL, TRANSMISSION, AND GEROTOR COUPLINGS AND PUMPS. WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING FROM ONE GEAR TO THE NEXT IT HESITATES IN NEUTRAL LONG ENOUGH FOR ALL THE POWER TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE FRONT WHEELS. WHEN THE TRANSIMSSION DOES ENGAGE THE NEXT GEAR ALL OF THE POWER IS TRANSFERRED BACK TO THE REAR WHEELS RESULTING IN A LOUD THUD. I DO NOT KNOW HOW THE VEHICLE WOULD RESPOND WHEN ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NOT OPTIMAL. THE MANUFACTURE RESPONSE HAS BEEN THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN BY COMPUTER WHILE TRAVELLING 60MPH ON FREEWAY, RESULTING IN SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS AT HIGH SPEED -- A CAM SENSOR FAILURE, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER.

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHICH LOCKED UP THE BRAKES AND STEERING.

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE WAS HIT NEARLY HEAD ON BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS TRAVELLING BETWEEN 35MPH AND 45MPH, THE AIRBAGS EXPERIENCED NO DEPLOYMENT, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WERE BOTH INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT. *SLC

MY WIFE HAD HER 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN PARK ON A FAIRLY LEVEL SURFACE, SHE GOT OUT OF HER VEHICLE TO CHECK ON SOME YOUNG PEOPLE. WHEN SHE GOT OU A FRIEND OF HERS IN ANOTHER SUV YELLED THAT HER JEEP WAS MOVING. SHE LOOKED BACK THE JEEP JUMPED A CURB RAN OVER FOUR 20 YEAR OLD SHRUBS THEN HIT A LAMP POST. THE VEHICLE DID NOT START MOVING UNTIL SHE WAS 20-30 FEET FROM THE JEEP. I REPORTED THIS TO JEEP, THAY SENT OUT AN INSPECTOR WHO AGREED WITH ME THAT THE JEEP HAD TO BE IN GEAR TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTEUM TO JUMP THE CURB AND RUN OVER THE SHRUBS AND HIT THE LAMP POST. JEEP DENIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AT FAULT, REFUSED TO REPAIR SMALL DAMAGE, THANK GOD THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN MY DRIVE WAY WITH MY 28 MONTH OLD GIRL ANYWHERE NEAR THE JEEP. THIS IS A SAFTEY PROBLEM AND I NEED HELP. THANK YOU. *AK

THERE ARE ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS JEEP ALL WITCH I HAVE PROOF OF REPAIRS, CAM SHAFT, TIRES, BRAKES, ALIGNMENT AND HUMMING AT 65 MPH.*JB

INTERMITANT, INCREASINGLY FREQUENT, UNEXPECTED DOWN-SHIFTING AND UP-SHIFTING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS WITH ASSOCIATED TRANSMISSION JERKS AND BANGS OF VARYING BUT SEVERE INTENSITY. DEALER ADMITS CANNOT REPAIR VEHICLE AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS IN LAST 11 MONTHS INSPITE OF ONGOING CONTACT WITH MANUFACTURER AND REPLACEMENT OF ALL ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER COMPONENTS. DEALER ADMITS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND WILL NOT RELEASE IT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR 37 DAYS, INCLUDING 21 DAYS AS OF THIS WRITING SINCE LAST RETURN.

WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS VEHICLE PULLS DRASTICALLY TO RIGHT. *AK

CONSUMER NOTICED VEHICLE PULLED VERY HARD TO RIGHT TAKEN TO DEALER, AND COULD NOT FIX PROBLEM. *AK

I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE DURING LUNCH AND NOTICED THE NOISE EN ROUTE TO AIRPORT (TRAVEL FOR WORK). 72 HOURS HAD LAPSED BEFORE MY RETURN DATE. THE CAR KEPT MAKING A "REVVING" NOISE AND TICKED/CLICKED IF I DID NOT PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. IT STILL MAKES THAT NOISE AND THE TRANSMISSION (I WAS TOLD BY A NON JEEP MECHANIC) SOUNDS LIKE IT IS WINDING UP FAST EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS MOVING SLOW (LIKE A 10 SPEED BICYCLE DOES WHEN YOU HAVE THE GEARS ADJUSTED INCORRECTLY). I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I RETURNED AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO BREAK IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAD LESS THAN 100 MILES. I ALSO REPORTED THE NOISE ON TWO OCCASIONS TO A DEALERSHIP IN NEW BRITAIN,CT WHEN GETTING MFG SUGGESTED SERVICE (DOCUMENTED ON THEIR SVC FORMS). THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE GEAR ALSO WAS STUCK BUT LOOSENED UP AFTER SEVERAL USES.*AK

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AND WERE REPLACED, 11400 MILES LATER, BRAKE BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT BRAKES NEEDED REPLACED AGAIN, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT JEEP USES A SOFTER METAL THAT DID NOT LAST, CONSUMER ALSO STATES THAT THERE IS WATER LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR FROM UNDERNEATH THE DASH WHEN AIR CONDITION IS ON, DEALER ORDERED AN INSULATOR FOR THE EVAPORATOR. *SLC

THE BRAKE ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED AT APPROXIMATELY 9,000 MILES, WHILE UNDER A 12/12 WARRANTY. THESE ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED AGAIN AT 22283 MILES, AT A COST OF $259.00 BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE SURGING UPON APPLICATION AT LOW SPEEDS.

COLOR OF VEHICLE PAINT IS "TAUPE". HAVE SEEN OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS ACID RAIN. WRONG ANSWER>

VEHICLE EXPERIENCING PROBLEM WITH NOISE COMING FROM DIFFERENTIAL. VEHICLE BEEN IN DEALER'S SHOP ON TWO OCCASIONS, AND PROBLEM STILL REOCCURRING. *AK WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED THE NOISE OCCURS BUT WHEN RELEASED IT BECOMES QUIET. WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS USED A DIFFERENT KIND OF NOISE OCCURS. *YH

EXPERIENCING WHAT THE DEALERSHIP CALLS A HONKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM TWICE NOW BY PUTTING TWO STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLIES IN AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. NOW THEY THINK THE TUBING FOR THE STEERING WHEEL FLUID IS THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE RE-DESIGNED. THEY THINK THE TUBE IS TO SMALL. COULD THIS PROBLEM POSSIBLY CAUSE ME ANY SAFETY PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING? WHAT SHOULD I DO CONSIDERING THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY HAVE TO RE-DESIGN THIS TUBING?

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE WILL EXPERIENCE A "BOUNCE" IN FRONT WHEELS, AND STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED DUE TO POOR PERFORMANCE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM ,AND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. THESE REPAIRS HAVE FAILED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN STOPPED WITH BRAKES APPLIED, CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM AND DOES NOT AFFECT PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. *AK

WITH FOOT ON BRAKE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCERALTED- COULD NOT STOP IT-HAD TO CUT ENGINE OFFCUT OFF VEHICLE

BREAK ROTORS OVERHEATED AND WARPED TWICE WITHIN 16000 MILES. *AK

BRAKE ROTORS ARE PROBLEM NOT CORRECTED BY DEALERS,TRANSMISSON SAME,UNSAFE VEHICLE. *AK

MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH FRONT BRAKES. *AK

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARP. I HAVE REPLACED THEM TWICE AND HAD THEM CUT ONCE, AND IT HAPPENDS EVERY 6,000 MILES OR SO.*AK

AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER 19 MONTHS, WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE MAIN COMPUTER REPLACED AS WELL AS NEW FRONT BRAKE ROTORS 2 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS WE HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. NOW, THE SECOND TIME WE'RE REPLACING THE ROTORS AFTER ONLY 7 MONTHS. THE BRAKE ROTORS WARP AND CAUSE SEVER "SHIMMYING" WHILE BRAKING, THIS LEADS TO LESS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DELAYED STOPPING. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES A HAZARD TO BOTH THE PASSENGERS OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND TO THOSE DRIVING AROUND IT. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND THE DEFECT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR HELP.*AK

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THEY WOULD SHIMMY, BUT VEHICLE COULD STOP. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, AND MECHANIC MACHINED ROTORS AND REPLACED PADS. ON 12 FEB 01, AFTER 9,834 MILES, SHIMMING PROBLEM WITH BRAKES RETURNED. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP, AND MECHANIC REPLACED BOTH FRONT ROTORS. ON 07 AUG 01 AT 14,142 MILES, SHIMMYING PROBLEM RETURNED AGAIN. SAME REPLACEMENT WAS DONE. ROTORS NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTIES.*AK CONSUMER ALSO STATED THAT LEFT FRONT DOOR WAS MAKING A NOISE.*JB

FIRST TIME CHRYSLER REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SECOND TIME I WAS TOLD THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY AND ALL THREE OF FOUR ROTORS WERE TURNED AT MY COST. THE THIRD TIME I HAD A LOCAL GARAGE TURN ALL FOUR ROTORS DUE TO WARPAGE. THE CAR NOW IS STARTING TO SHOW WARPAGE AGAIN. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN BRAKING AT 60 MPH WITH THE WARPED ROTORS. I HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER TO CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE STATED "NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS". CENTRAL GARAGE TOLD ME THAT THEY SEE ALOT OF JEEPS LIKE MINE WITH WARPED ROTORS. I HAVE CONTACTED OTHER JEEP GARAGES AND THEY ALL STATED THAT THEY SEE ALOT OF MY STYLE OF JEEP WITH WARPED ROTORS. THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY FEATURE ON MY CAR AND I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD ENGINEER A SOLUTION. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE MY BRAKES REPAIRED EVERY 5-6000 MILES TO KEEP MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE AND SPEND $400-$500 TO DO SO. *AK

REGARDING THE BRAKES: AFTER REPEATED (3 TIMES) COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR (WHEN DRIVEN UNDER STOP AND GO COMMUTER-TYPE TRAFFIC) AND EACH TIME THERE WAS "NO TROUBLE FOUND" I FINALLY (ON 7/29/2000) DROVE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. A MECHANIC WAS CALLED AND SAID THERE WAS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM AND THEY SUMMIZED "IT MUST BE THE MASTER CYLINDER". WITH RESPECT TO THE ENGINE: AFTER REPEATED COMPLAINTS (AT LEAST 3 TIMES) OF OIL LEAKING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE AND HAVING IT DISMISSED AS 1) SLOPPY OIL CHANGE, EXCESS OIL FROM LEFT ON ENGINE BLOCK, 2) FAULTY OIL FILTER, 3) REAR MAIN ENGINE SEAL (REAR MAIN WAS REPLACED) AND CONTINUING TO HAVE OIL LEAKS, ON 7/29/2000, I BROUGHT IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE ENGINE IS "POROUS" AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I WAS ADVISED TO NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE BRAKE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING ARRIVAL OF A NEW ENGINE AND REPLACEMENT AND ALSO INSTALLATION OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. WITH RESPECT TO THE DIFFERENTIAL WHINE, I HAVE BEEN TOLD TWICE "IT IS NORMAL" AND NOTHING WILL BE DONE.. *AK

FRONT BRAKES DEVELOP A TREMENDOUS SHUDDER WITHIN APPROX 7,500 TO 10,000 MILES OF ROTOR AND PAD CHANGE, ROTORS ARE ALWAYS WARPED BEYOND REPAIR IN WHAT HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED AS ROTOR RUN OUT. EVEN WITH PROPER PIN LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE BRAKES BECOME SEVERELY DANGEROUS IN SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. MY JEEP HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE CHANGED ROTORS AND PADS SEVEN TIMES!!! *NLM

STEERING SQUEAK OR MOAN WHEN TURNING, EVIDENT SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE, VEHICLE IS NOW ONE YEAR OLD. REPAIRED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT STILL NOT FIXED. OTHER VEHICLE PROBLEMS INCLUDES WARPED ROTORS AT 14000MILES, DEALERSHIP REPLACED FRONT ROTORS.*AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE VIBRATES AND IS VERY NOISY. DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THEAT COMPUTER WAS MALFUNCTIONING, AND TO DRIVE SLOWLY UNTIL HE COULD GET THE PART. CONSUMER HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER 3 TIMES. DEALER SAID HE WAS STILL WAITING FOR PARTS, DID NOT SPECIFY.*AK

FRONT ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED AND GROUNDED 3 TIMES DUE TO VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING. VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN BRAKING. DEALER DETERMINED ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THIS TIME.*AK CONSUMER STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS HAVE REPLACED TWICE AND TURNED ONCE. *YH

FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM TAIL PIPE, AND FUMES ENTERED THE PASSENGER'S COMPARTMENT. DEALER REPLACED FUEL INJECTOR AND POWER CONTROL MODULE. *AK *ML

THE DAIMLERCHRYSLER DISTRICT MANAGER FOR MARYLAND AND D.C. FIRST TOLD ME THAT THE "CROWN" OF THE ROADWAY WAS THE CAUSE OF MY PROBLEMS WITH THIS 2000 JEEP GRAND LEMON - WHEN PRESSED TO PRESENT A MORE CREDITABLE EXPLANATION FOR THE EXTREME STEERING PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROADWAY, HIS ANSWER WAS: "MR. JACKSON, I'M TELLING YOU AS THE WASHINGTON ZONE MANAGER FOR DAIMLER CHRYSLER THAT I CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS JEEP AND AS THE ZONE MANAGER FOR MARYLAND I SAY YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM, THEREFORE DAIMLERCHRYSLER DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS JEEP TO BE DEFECTIVE. AS THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER ZONE MANAGER I AM TELLING YOU THAT IN MY OPINION THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE". --- WHAT A LOAD OF '!@#$% !!!!!!!! --- (A COMPLIMENTARY LOAD OF '!@#$% SEEMS TO BE STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON ALL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND THIS IS ONE FEATURE I COULD DO WITHOUT) --- THE DAIMERCHRYSLER PEOPLE HAVE PROVEN TO ME THAT THEY ARE ARROGANT, FLAT OUT LIARS. THEY JUST LAUGHED AT ME WHEN I SAID I WOULD BE REPORTING THESE PROBLEMS TO NHTSA. THEY JUST DON'T CARE. -- IN TWO OR THREE YEARS, WHEN DAIMLER-BENZ FINALLY DUMPS THE CHRYSLER DIVISION INTO THAT DEEP CESSPOOL OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND OBSCENE CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WILL BE HAPPY TO ATTEND THE CORPORATE LIQUIDATION SALE IN AUBURN HILLS - DRIVING MY NEW HONDA. *TR

WHILE BACKING OUT WITH FOOT ON BRAKES VEHICLE TOOK OFF AND WENT INTO A POLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. CONSUMER FELT LIKE A SURGE OF POWER, AND IT GOT WORSE EVERY TIME. *AK

NONE

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55MPH ON HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF. NO BRAKES OR STEERING. ALSO, ALL ELECTRICAL POWER WAS GONE. *AK

BRAKES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED VIBRATES AND SHAKES WITH NO CONTROL BETWEEN 57 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR. *AK

GOODYEAR, MERITHON ST225/75R15, COACHMAN, CATALINA 5TH WHEEL RV. WHILE TOWING WITH FOUR WHEELS ON GROUND RIGHT FRONT TIRE SHREDDED. THERE WAS A LOT OF DAMAGE.*AK

FEELING MISS/JERK AT APPROXIMATELY 10 SECOND INTERVALS. DEALER ADVISED IT IS THE AIR CONDITIONER CYCLING ON/OFF. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS NO FIX AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. SAYS IT IS DUE TO AGGRESSIVE COMPRESSOR ENGAGEMENT.*AK

WHEN BRAKING A VIBRATION IS FELT IN THE PEDAL. THIS FIRST OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES. THE BRAKE DISC WAS TURNED AND NEW PADS INSTALLED UNDER WARANTY. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 16,000 MILES. DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS NOW SAYING THIS IS NOT A WARANTY ITEM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 12,000 MILES. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT WITH THE FRONT BRAKES. THE SOLUTION IS NOT TO KEEP TURNING THE DISKS AND INSTALLING NEW PADS. AFTER 3 TURNS THE DISKS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THIS WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS PASSED THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY PERIOD. *AK

WHEN TOWING A VEHICLE BEHIND A MOTORHOME, DRIVER IS SUPPOSED TO LEAVE KEY IN UNLOCKED POSITION, HOWEVER SOMETIMES IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO INTO LOCK POSITION CAUSING FRONT WHEELS TO LOCK AND SHRED, $4000 DAMAGE TO VEHICLE WAS DONE. *SLC

ROTORS HAD TO BE TURNED THREE TIMES AFTER EVERY 7000 - 7500 MILES DUE TO HEAT BUILD UP IN ROTORS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HEAT BUILD UP WAS CAUSING ROTORS TO WARP, AND VIBRATION IN VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP AT FIRST REPLACED BRAKE PADS IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE HEAT BUILD UP. HOWEVER, SINCE THEN, HAD ONLY TURNED ROTORS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

MY JEEP ROLLED UP OVER MY LEFT LEG WHILE STOPPED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS LEAVING THE VEHICLE TO PICK UP MAIL. I SLIPPED AND NEXT I KNEW, THE CARS FRONT DRIVERS TIRE WAS ROLLING UP MY SHOE, LEG AND CAME TO REST ON MY LEFT HIP. THE PARAMEDICS WERE CALLED AND I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. MY CAR SUFFERED NO DAMAGE, I STILL OWN AND DRIVE IT, BUT WITH THE REPORTS I HAVE BEEN READING, I WANTED TO ADD MY STORY. MY COSTS AT THE HOSPITAL WERE @ 500.00. *AK
