Seven problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1999 Jeep Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I drove my Jeep to a home, parked in the driveway, left the car running about 5-10 minutes. As I was locking the door leaving the home I turned and saw the Jeep going in reverse toward the road, I ran to the Jeep to try and get in and control the Jeep, I slipped under the vehicle and it ran over both my legs. It came to a complete stop about 30-50 feet after it ran me over. I was taken to the hospital, treated and released. I have not yet had the car looked at by a mechanic.
Crash - I rear ended another vehicle in my 1999 Jeep Cherokee sport. I was braking when the car suddenly accelerated, driving me into the vehicle in front of me. This has happened before, but only this time did it result in an accident. I took it to a certified Jeep dealership and had the service department check it out. They said nothing is wrong with it. I am pretty nervous about this. I know how hard I was braking, and it just didn't matter. The car was working against me. I had to throw it into park just to stop the car.
The vehicle was put into park, driver got out of the vehicle, and left the door open. The vehicle went into reverse, and hit the wall, and the driver's door came off. Driver jumped back into the vehicle and applied the brakes. Jeep, grand Cherokee laredo ,1999.
The vehicle stalled and shut down without prior warning. Dealer was aware of the problem. Ts gear shift selector light was inoperative. Transmission shifted hard and slipped on acceleration. Found wrong fluid in transmission. Ignition cylinder loose. Dealer advised this was normal. Transmission banged when put in reverse.
Jeep lemon!!! terrible vehicle, terrible company!! this vehicle should be recalled immediately for these two issues, among others! I have almost rearended someone, by lookingback to see if I was rear ended due to the hard shift. The brakes shake so much under braking that I did rear end someone, however there was no noticable damage to either vehicle.
While driving and coming to a stop transmission will not shift down to low gear, and at times will completely shut down,cause unknown. Dealer can not identify the cause of the problem. Please give any further details.
When shift into park, vehicle will lunge forward and then roll back on any level of road surface. Please describe detail.
