One problem related to dashboard failed has been reported for the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Help! we have been experiencing random electrical malfunctions for more than two (2) years with no end in sight. We've gone to two (2) local Jeep dealerships and spent more than $2,000. 00 to find and repair the problems only to have the same problems return over and over: 1. ) all dash / instruments and lights such as the check engine, check gauges, speedometer, tachometer (including the air bag) come on & stay on. 2. ) the fuel & battery gauges fluctuate and then the gauges fail to register. . 3. ) the windows, sunroof and all doors often fail to operate. . . The windows do not operate when the engine is running. We believe our problems may have to do with the tipm module. Just saw on the news that several Jeeps have had the same problems, and it showed exactly the same thing that is happening to my 1999. It is now 2014, and they have never been able to fix it. At first, one dealership said no charge for service because they (the dealer) had contacted Chrysler. Chrysler it seemed had assumed the responsibility, but when these problems kept happening and happening they give up, and put the burden on us. This is an electrical problem which we believe Chrysler has all assumed the responsibility by their first actions. We need to get this fixed. These problems were not caused by us. We are dealing with electrical problems beyond our control… we believe these are problems known to the manufacturer. This is a dangerous situation, if the air bag won't work, or the windows won't open. Please see the link below to the cbs news video report. . Read more...
