Five problems related to brake light on have been reported for the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Rotors have been replaced three times this year, April, August and December. Each time brakes started pulsating. Second incident the brakes actually started seizing up while driving on highway. When the vehicle was stopped and turned off, the brake lights were still on, indicating that the brakes were still engaged. Dealer never questions replacing rotors each time and each time they are under warranty and at no cost to consumer. I worry about the safety factor of will these brakes be at peak efficiency when I really need them.
The day I took delivery of vehicle I told lithia Jeep the brakes were squeeling & felt as if they were dragging at slow speeds. They said this was normal during the break-in period. These problems did not get any better so at each service (3,000 miles) I asked the service dept to check the brakes for problems & each time they said the brakes were within specs so they made no repairs. Now several times a week the abs & brake lights come on. I have taken vehicle in several times for this problem but the service dept can't find what the problem is so this brake problem remains uncorrected as of today. I am very uneasy because I do not know if there is a brake problem or not so I do not drive the vehicle any more than is absolutely necessary, and when I do I drive with one hand on the emergency brake lever at all times.
Abs light, and brake light came on, indicating a brake malfunction. Wiring to the right wheel speed sensor was cut by lower control arm. The vehicle has electrical and suspension problems. Driver and passenger side power windows inoperative. Fuel pump failed. Vehicle is leaking transmission fluid due to pan gasket failure. Fuel is leaking from fuel tank due to defective fuel sending unit seal. Abs light, air bag lights are on and a/c blinkers are not working due to ignition switch looses. Vehicle makes noise due to power steering gear assembly failure.
The vehicle experienced multiple problems. The horn failed. The interior lights failed. The door locks were inoperative. The abs light and the brake light came on and remained on. The vehicle overheated when at idle for more than a few minutes. This problem has been addressed more than three times with no resolution. The brakes vibrated and this has been a problem since the first year of purchase. The consumer has requested Jeep to buy back the vehicle. Mr scc.
