TAKATA RECALL. SINCE OWNING MY 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4.0, I'VE REPLACED NEARLY EVERY SINGLE PART ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ON THIS VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED JUST TRYING TO DRIVE IT. THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE FINE 1 MINUTE, THE NEXT IT IS PUTTING ITSELF IN NEUTRAL OR DRIVE AND I'VE NEARLY DIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. NOW, THE JEEP IS CODING MORE CODES THAN EVER. ALSO, AS OF FEW DAYS AGO, I HAVE NO REVERSE IN IT. I NEARLY HIT ANOTHER CAR TRYING TO BACK OUT OF A SPACE AT THE HOSPITAL WHEN REVERSE DECIDED TO NO LONGER WORK. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP FIXING THESE ISSUES AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT'S HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE MODELS. ALSO, MY BACK PASSENGER DOORS HAVE DECIDED THEY WON'T OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN ONLY OPEN THEM FROM INSIDE. WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED AND I WAS TRAPPED, NOBODY COULD GET IN THROUGH THE PASSENGER BACK 2 DOORS BECAUSE THEY WON'T OPEN. AS FAR AS TRANSMISSION, MAYBE I'LL LIVE THROUGH ANOTHER INCIDENT WITH TRANSMISSION CHANGING GEARS ON IT'S OWN, BUT MAYBE I WON'T EITHER. THANK YOU.

The contact owns a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the front tires started shaking violently to the right and left while the steering wheel followed the rapid jerking movements from right to left. The contact slowed the vehicle to 40 MPH and was able to proceed. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local independent mechanic who determined that burned lower track arm bearings on the steering arms left and right needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure still occurred intermittently. The vehicle was towed to a second independent mechanic but had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDCHILD IN THE BACK WHEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE! IT LITERALLY FELT LIKE THE WHEELS AND THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL WERE GOING TO ALL FALL OFF! I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE SCARED IN MY LIFE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO SLOW IT DOWN AND PULL OVER TO A BREAKDOWN LANE SO I COULD STOP . I WAS EVEN GOING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THIS HAPPENED

DURING NORMAL DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN ROAD, BREAK PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. ATTEMPTS MAKE TO PUMP BREAK WITH NO EFFECT. EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS PULLED WITH NO EFFECT. VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO ROCK WALL AND THEN LANDED INTO A 10+ FOOT RAVINE. WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED WHICH CAUSED A NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT WITH 5 PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V176000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000. MA 10/2 THE VIN PROVIDED IS FOR A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. UPDATED 10/06/15*JB

IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. I GO OVER A SMALL BUMP AND IT BEGINS TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY. I LET OFF THE GAS AND IT SETTLES DOWN. THIS IS VERY VIOLENT SHAKING.LIKE THE VEHICLE IS COMING APART.

TIRES WEAR OUT FAST MICHELLEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR POPPED OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LATCH FAILED TO CLOSE THE DOOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT DID NOT LOOK LIKE THE LATCH WAS FRACTURED, BUT IT WOULD NOT HOLD. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT WOULD ONLY BLOW THROUGH THE VENTS ON THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD AND NOT THE FLOOR OR OTHER VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, UNOCCUPIED AND LOCKED. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE SEAT HEATER SYSTEM THAT CAUSED THE SEAT TO CATCH FIRE. INTERESTINGLY, NO FUSES WERE FOUND TO BE BLOWN. THE SEAT CATCHING FIRE SPREAD TO THE PASSENGER DOOR PANEL. IT CONTINUED UP THE DOOR PANEL AND SPREAD TO THE DOOR TRIM, HEADLINER & VISOR. THE ENTIRE INTERIOR WAS SMOKE DAMAGED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED QUICKLY SO THAT'S WHY THE DAMAGE WAS NOT WORSE.

HAVE JUST BEEN ADVISED THAT A MOTOR WHICH OPERATES SOME TYPE OF DOOR TO RELEASE HEAT AND AIR IN A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT APPEARS THAT NO REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE AND JEEP HAS A 1200 PART BACKLOG WITH NO PLANS IN THE WORKS TO EVEN BEGIN PRODUCTION OF THIS PART FOR REPLACEMENT. WHILE ONE CAN CONCEIVABLY DO WITHOUT HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING, THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS HAVING A WORKING DEFROSTER IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER IS A NECESSITY. *TR

VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER -DOES NOT FUNCTION. *TR

1 DRIVER GETTING INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT, PREPARING TO LEAVE BY BUCKLING THE SEATBELT AND PUSHING IT FIRMLY INTO THE BUCKLE LOCK 2 THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN AFTER MANY FAILURES, AS THE BELT SIMPLY BEGINS TO WIND BACK TO THE B-PILLAR AS IF THE DRIVER HAD JUST EXITED THE VEHICLE. NO NOISE IS MADE, NO FORCE NEEDS TO BE EXERTED ON THE BELT TO RECREATE THE FAILURE, IN WHICH RECREATION IS IMPOSSIBLE. OFTEN FAILURE MAY OCCUR AFTER AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF DRIVING TIME. 3 UNKNOWN TO DATE. *TR

DT: IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT AND THE SEAT BELTS ARE SUPPOSE TO LOCK TO KEEP CONSUMER FROM GOING FORWARD ,AND THEY DID NOT LOCK. *AK

AIR CONDITIONING - AFTER 100,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE MY AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DUE TO LEAKS. NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH WATER LEAKING INTO MY CAR. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING ARE NOT PROPERLY MADE (IN MY OPINION). THERE IS NO DRAIN HOSE TO THE EVAPORATOR - JUST A LIP - THAT IS SUPPOSE TO DRAIN OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE LIP IS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE WATER TO DIP PROPERLY. THEREFORE, I KEPT GETTING WATER IN MY BACKSEAT FLOORBOARD. *NM

THE HORN WILL NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY. THE LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AN OFF ERRATICALLY WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AFTER BEING TURNED OFF AND PARKED OVERNIGHT LEAVING THE BATTERY DEAD.
