NOW THE JEEP STALLS! HAD TO DRIVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH ONE FOOT ON THE GAS, ONE ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP JEEP RUNNING AND NOT TO CAUSE AND ACCIDENT! NOW I'M TOLD MY SPARK PLUGS NEED REPLACING AND FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, FUEL SYSTEM WAS CLEANED AND REPLACED THE IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR!!! JEEP STALLS WHEN PUTTING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE! WHY IS THE JEEP STALLING????? I'VE ALREADY DUMPED A PILE OF MONEY INTO IT AND IT'S WORSE OFF THAN WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! *TR

THE 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION WITH THE GOVERNOR PRESSURE SOLENOID. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IS PART CONSISTENTLY FAILS EVEN AFTER BEING REPLACED. WHEN DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO SKIP AND SLOWS ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT CAN CAUSE A CRASH AND INJURE PEOPLE. I HAVE HAD THIS PART REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN A 1 1/2 YEAR PERIOD AND THE COST IS NOT CHEAP EVERYTIME IT COST $656.00. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON TRANSMISSIONS FOR JEEPS FROM 2000-2002, BECAUSE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE BEING EFFECTED BY THIS MISHAP. *NM

2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND STALLED. WHEN RESTARTED IN PARK VEHICLE BEGAN TO REVERSE. UPON INSPECTION MECHANIC DETERMINED THE GEAR ALIGNMENT WAS OFF TRACK AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. *KB THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE GEAR BOX HAD TO BE CLEANED OUT AS WELL, BECAUSE A LIQUID SUBSTANCE WAS SPILLED INSIDE OF IT, WHICH CAUSED THE GEAR LEVER TO BECOME MISALIGNED. A DAY AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, THE CONSUMER BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A GEAR SLIPPAGE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE HAD A BAD GEAR SHIFT, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE SLIPPAGE. THE CONSUMER DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS FOR A COUPLE DAYS WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHILE IN PARK. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER IT WAS NORMAL AND THAT THE GEAR JUST NEEDED A SMALL ADJUSTMENT. THE CONSUMER DECIDED TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. IT WAS FINALLY DETERMINED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE WAS BAD. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE FIRST DEALER BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS A BAD SHIFTER MODULE WHEN IT WAS REALLY THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE. *JB

AFTER READING ALMOST ALL COMPLAINTS WITH OTHER 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES, I HAVE TO PUT IN MY TWO CENTS WORTH. I CAN RELATE TO ALMOST EVERY COMPLAINT THAT THERE IS. I JUST HAD BOTH MY FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED A MONTH AND A HALF APART, ONE JUST TODAY AT $327.00 WITH MY EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT. (I WORK FOR A CAR DEALERSHIP) LAST MONTH, I HAVE HAD ALMOST $500.00 WORTH OF REPAIRS FOR MY POWER STEERING PUMP PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKE ROTORS TURNED AND RESURFACED AND AM IN NEED OF DOING IT AGAIN. THEN ON THE OTHER HAND, I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY DUAL CONTROL PANEL NOT WORKING CORRECTLY WHICH I HAVE NOT HAVE REPAIRED YET BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR THAT ONE AND DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM. THEN WHEN MY JEEP WAS UNDER WARRANTY I HAVE HAD THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR REPLACED, NEW BATTERY(FOR HARD OR NO STARTING), AMONGST OTHER REPAIRS THAT I CAN'T THINK OF AT THE MOMENT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING HARD STARTS WITH MY TRUCK AND ALSO THE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING OR JUMPING (ACCELERATING) WHILE SWITCHING GEARS THAT THE JEEP DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECOGNIZE AS A PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THOSE NEW CHRYSLER COMMERCIALS ARE NOT UP TO PAR AS AMERICAN AND GERMAN ENGINEERING. THOSE GERMANS KNOW HOW TO BUILD VEHICLES IN THE FIRST PLACE AND HELP REPAIR THEM AS THE PROBLEM SEEM NECESSARY. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATES HE OWNS A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE WAS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10005603 REGARDING THE VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:CONTROLS/WIRING. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE HAD THE REPAIRS DONE, BUT THE COST WAS $1,357.24. HE WAS STILL NOT SATISFIED WITH THE REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE SOME OF THE VENTS PUSHED THROUGH A LOT OF AIR, AND SOME OF THE VENTS PUSHED THROUGH A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF AIR. THE CONSUMER FELT THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY DEFECT BECAUSE IT DID NOT ALLOW THE DEFROSTING SYSTEM TO WORK PROPERLY ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS NO HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE DIGITAL CONTROL FOR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE DOOR DID NOT WORK DUE TO THE BREAKING OF THE DOOR VENTS AND THE DUCT WORK FOR THE DEFROST/DEFOGGER, AIR CONDITIONER, AND HEATING SYSTEM. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD GET BACK IN CONTACT WITH THE CONSUMER AFTER THEY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN THE MANUFACTURER CALLED BACK, THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY WOULD DO BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE THREE YEAR, 36,000 MILES WARRANTY.*AK THE TRANSMISSION GOVERNOR SOLENOID WAS REPLACED. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED.

THE COOLING FAN BLADE JUST BROKE WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. IT MADE THE CAR THUMP I THOUGHT SOMEONE HIT US BUT THE FAN BLADES BROKE THE FAN SHRODE AND PUT DENTS ALL IN THE RADIATOR AND BROKE THE FAN GUARD. THIS VECHILE HAS HAD MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WE LEASE THE JEEP AND HAVE PUT $$$ IN IT BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT TAKE IT BACK AS A LEMON WITH IN THE 2 YEARS. I STILL HEAR A BEEP COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH THAT JEEP NEVER FOUND THE PROBLEM OR FIXED IT. I JUST HAD THE FAN RELAY CHANGED BECAUSE IT WENT OUT. WITH IN THE FIRST 2 YEARS I HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR A VARIETY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I HAVE ALL THE PAPER WORK. I AM AFRAID THE JEEP WILL CATCH ON FIRE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE ALSO CHECKED MANY OTHER THINGS THAT WERE ISSUES WITH THE JEEP. LEAKING SHOCKS AND TRANSMISSION PAN AND EMISSIONS IS NOW LEAKING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND EVERY TIME I GET IT CHECKED IT'S A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. I'M OUT OF MY WARRANTY NOW BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS WRONG. THE DEALER REPLACED 2 OF 4 LEAKING SHOCKS THEY LEFT THE TRANSMISSION PAN LOOSE WHEN THEY REPLACED A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS JEEP IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD IT HAS LOST POWER IN THE PAST WHILE TRAVELING SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE WITH IN A MONTH.

MAY 11, 2004 DEAR SIR OR MADAM: I AM WRITING THIS LETTER WITH REGARDS TO MY GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 2002, VIN #[XXX] AND FILE #[XXX]. IN DECEMBER OF 2003, I PULLED INTO A CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER TO HAVE MY TRUCK SERVICED IN NJ, BECAUSE IT WAS DRIVING IMPROPERLY, AND NOT GETTING UP TO ITS NORMAL SPEED PROPERLY. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL A CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER IDENTIFIED THE TRUCK AS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AT THE TIME THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 35,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE I WAS UNABLE GET ANY ASSISTANCE WITH MY VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER, I WAS FORCED TO CALL AAA, A RELIABLE SERVICE AND PROVIDER TO TOW MY TRUCK. WHEN THE AAA TOW MAN ARRIVED HE INFORMED ME THAT I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY SHIFT GEAR/TRANSMISSION. I IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED WITH GREAT SKEPTICISM, AS CHRYSLER'S SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ASSURED ME THAT I NO LONGER SHOULD EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THE AAA REPRESENTATIVE WHOM WAS SENT TO TOW MY TRUCK MANAGED TO GET MY TRUCK STARTED AND I WAS ON MY WAY ONCE MORE. THE NEXT DAY I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM OF THE RECENT PROBLEMS I WAS EXPERIENCING AND IMMEDIATELY THEY CHECKED THE TRUCK IN. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BEING CHECKED I NOTIFIED THE MECHANIC THAT THE TRUCK WOULD ONLY START IN NEUTRAL. I ALSO BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION; A NEW PROBLEM THAT THE TRUCK WAS EXPERIENCING. THE TRUCK ROLLED BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS WHILE IN THE PARKING GEAR. AT THIS POINT, AS A VALUED CONSUMER, I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN THIS TRUCK WITH NO PENALTIES, BE REIMBURSED FOR THE CAR RENTAL AND POSSIBLY CONTINUE A LEASE ON ANOTHER VEHICLE OTHER THAN A CHEROKEE. I AM DISAPPOINTED AND FEEL MY LIFE AND SAFETY IS BEING JEOPARDIZED IF I AM TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS LETTER AS A FORMAL AFFIRMATION OF COGNIZANCE! SINCERELY, [XXX] UPDATED 07/26/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
