| 1. fuel injector failed causing the engine to misfire and operate on only 5 out of 6 cylinders. 2. in the same cylinder (#6) rod broke, causing engine to blow and need replacement at only 42,000 miles. 3. power steering pump almost fell off the vehicle. (most likely due to improper installation after engine rebuild). 4. brakes constantly squeak or make grinding noise when pressure is applied. when temperatures are below 50 degrees, a high pitched whinning noise is heard from underneath the vehicle. can only be heard when traveling under 45 mph - due to road noise masking the sound. (multiple dealers have not been able to determine what the problem is nor be able to fix it, so constantly whines). 5. fuel gauge fluctuates when 3/4 full (drops to empty and fuel light turns on, then returns to normal reading. will continue to do this until tank is 1/4 full). told this is a problem with the fuel sensor. 6. transmission is occasionally rough (jerky shifting between 1st and 2nd gears).*jb | |||

| The front rotors have been a problem right before 2000 miles. the dealer have changed them on two or three times in the past and i have three time. the last time recently, i had to change the rotors three times before i got some that weren't worped. they only lasted for less than a month before they were overheated and warped again. i should not have to go through this all the time for a product that should be better than that. chrysler has a responsibility to provide quality rotors that will last. presently, the warped rotors are on my jeep and i don't know what else to do. i have tried after market and they are worst. thank you dt | |||

| Vehicle was serviced by dealership on 8/9/2000 for a recall issued by jeep regarding defective from brake rotors. rotors were replace by dealership, along with a charge of $100 for new pads (vehicle only had 23,175 miles). brakes worked fine prior to the recall, however since the repair they squeak from time to time and had begun to get worse. on 8/9/2001, the vehicle was returned to the dealership to resolve the problem. dealership refushed to replace parts, commenting it is a know problem the jeeps have a problem with their front brakes. it is not uncommon for a jeep with new brake pads to eat through the rotors in less than 9,000 miles. it you want it fixed you will have to pay for the repairs. the repair invoice now states vehicle needs rotors, customer decline at this time because i will not pay them to fix a known jeep defect. problem was then brought to the attention of chysler customer service whose solution was that i be required to pay another one of their dealerships $75 for inspection of the brakes so that they could process a report. their response was that they would work with me to review the parts, however it would be my responsibility to pay for the $75 inspection. i am now stuck with the option of paying chyrsler an addtional $75 (with no guarantee that they will even fix the problem that they created) or pay for the repairs out of my own pocket. replacing one set of defective rotors with another set of defective rotors is not closure on a recall.*ak | |||

| Approx. 6 months ago, gasoline leaked from tank to garage floor. fumes entered home. we were awake and quickly moved vehicle and ventilated home, before fumes reached burning fireplace. dealer replaced a plug and promised it would never happen again. 7/2/2000 gasoline leaked in garage while family was sleeping. fumes contaminated entire home. wife taken to hospital for exposure. dealer now states the plastic tank misformed but will not advise why. service manager, steve, states he has seen this happen before, but refused to install a metal tank. we have advised that we do not want the truck back and fear for our family's safety. vehicle is currently at dealer. in 1998, this vehicle shut down in the middle of a highway due to the same problem other consumers mentioned on your complaint page. the dealer is also performing the brake recall work. i feel this plastic gas tank is extremely dangerous, since it misformed and leaked on it's own. if the dealer makes us bring the truck back home and finish the lease, we are afraid to operate the vehicle or put it in our garage. please help. | |||

| For some unknown reason brake pedals are eng to require driver to completely lift foot from gas raise high enough to reach brake pedal. in an emergency stop foot misses brake pedal or slides off and hits gas pedal as in my accident. if brake pedals were level with gas pedals the brake could be applied rapidly and at least reduce speed at impact in stead of reverse thank you gary graham | |||

| I own 2 jeep grand cherokees. both of which have premature front rotor and pad failure at 20,000 miles. both the dealer and the manufacturer are not willing to tell me why these components are prematurely wearing out. even though we live in the salt belt the dealer replaced the rotors on my green 98 jeep but not on my black 98 jeep. they claim that none of my jeeps fall under the recall due to the vinnumbers and that they are registered in va and not dc. even though we commute into dc everyday into the recall area they are not willing to replace the rotors on the black jeep. the warped rotors are also wearing out the pads. some owner complaints off the web have stated that daimlerchrylser installed brake pads that were to hard. the heat buildup from the friction of the hard pads is what is warping the rotors. i don't know if that is true or not. we need help. rotors and pads should last around 40,000 miles if not more. could you please see if you can get daimler to recall all rotors for those of us who live in the virginia suburbs of washington? thanks. *ak | |||

| The two front rotors have been replaced due to them being warped. they were replaced at 7500 miles approximately. today, 12-28-98, the two rear rotors are being replaced due to them being warped. this seems to be an acceptable thing chrysler, since they won't cover the rotors after 12000 miles or twelve months. the disc break system needs to be fixed if the rotors keep warping in my opinion. i do no towing or serious heavy city traveling. the car has been mainly used on interstate freeways. | |||

| While driving at different speeds and making slight turns the 1998 jeep grand cherokee will vibrate and bounce. the steering wheel will begin to pull and the front right tire feels like it is coming off or bouncing. i have taken it to the dealer and three independent shops for this problem over a 2 year period. all of have felt the problem and have no idea where it is coming from. i have so far replaced the entire front brake system, all front bushings, shocks, tires, front u bolts, and had the whole system inspected by at least 10 different mechanics. also the brakes feel like they are riding on a warped rotor. when breaking the pedal pushes back at the driver and makes it very difficult to control the breaking. this problem has also been looked at by the dealer and the aforementioned shops. to date no solution has been found and the problem keeps getting worse. i fear that either of these problems can cause a major failure leading to injury or death. *jb | |||

| I purchased a 1998 jeep grand cherokee in july 2002 with 30000 miles with an extended warranty. i have two problems to report. problem 1-- my jeep only has 44000 miles on it now and my brake rotors are warped. problem 2--this may sound funny but its true. the 1998 jeep grand i have has its spare tire inside compartment above fuel tank. this past winter i tried to remove my spare and found that due to condensation it was frozen to the compartment. although i did not need it at that time i thought that was strange. well it just so happens i had to use my spare tire on 5/16/03, when i removed the spare from the compartment there was about 1 gallon of water sitting around the spare. i have no leaks and would like to know if it is a design defect or what can i do to get rid of the condensation build up. *jb | |||

| For over a year the front brakes have squeaked (a rubbing noise) when driving (not during braking, which stops the noise). dealer claims nothing could be found. took the car in today to have tires rotated an balanced. dealer claims the front pads are thin and crumbling and that both pads and rotors need to be replaced. dealer states the front rotors are too thin to be turned. this is unusual since the rotors were replaced in 2000 under recall 00v136000. the suv has been driven 90,000 miles since then - the pads have been replaced - the rotors have not been turned previously. related to the recall, other users report too hard pads with too soft rotors. in one driving style this leads to excessive heat that warps the sub-par rotors. in my driving style the pads get hot (which causes them to crumble eventually), not hot enough to warp rotors, but sufficient to grind away the rotors leading to premature failure of both parts. if rotors can get so thin they can't be turned (having never been turned), then the combination of crumbly pads makes for a dangerous combination. since dealer is aware of complaints about too-hard pads and too-soft rotors from these and its other make/models... it appears this mismatched combo is intentional. dealer should replace or heavily discount premature failure parts. dealer claims all wear is normal and 90k life for rotors is good (and probably is statistically if you include 15k life of recalled defective rotors). the recall repair replaced one part of the defect combo with another defective part, just less prone to rapid failure if driven easy, i.e. it fails premature to normal life of similar parts across industry. i elected to wait on replacing parts until i could gather more info. i came across other reports and complaints for chrysler with the pad/rotor combo. *nm | |||

| I had my front brake rotors replaced at 67,220 miles - at that time the front brakes were shot, yet the rear brakes had 50% life remaining (appears to be undue pressure placed on front brakes. after only 5,000 miles, the vehicle pulsated while braking. so at 73,091 miles at had front brakes resurfaced, at which time the mechanic acknowledged that the brakes were already showing signs of over heating and were already warped. i had rear brakes done (even though they had sufficient life remaining) at the same time in case that contributed to the problem. i now have 16,000 miles on the front brakes (10,000 miles after first resurfacing), they again are pulsating strongly, and require undue pressure from my foot to make them work appropriately....especially on the highway. i consider this a serious safety hazard and as a result of the engineering and/or manufacturing of the brakes. *jb | |||

| Vehicle was serviced by dealership on 8/9/2000 for a recall issued by jeep regarding defective from brake rotors. rotors were replace by dealership, along with a charge of $100 for new pads (vehicle only had 23,175 miles). brakes worked fine prior to the recall, however since the repair they squeak from time to time and had begun to get worse. on 8/9/2001, the vehicle was returned to the dealership to resolve the problem. dealership refushed to replace parts, commenting it is a know problem the jeeps have a problem with their front brakes. it is not uncommon for a jeep with new brake pads to eat through the rotors in less than 9,000 miles. it you want it fixed you will have to pay for the repairs. the repair invoice now states vehicle needs rotors, customer decline at this time because i will not pay them to fix a known jeep defect. problem was then brought to the attention of chysler customer service whose solution was that i be required to pay another one of their dealerships $75 for inspection of the brakes so that they could process a report. their response was that they would work with me to review the parts, however it would be my responsibility to pay for the $75 inspection. i am now stuck with the option of paying chyrsler an addtional $75 (with no guarantee that they will even fix the problem that they created) or pay for the repairs out of my own pocket. replacing one set of defective rotors with another set of defective rotors is not closure on a recall.*ak | |||
