Five problems related to gasoline fuel system have been reported for the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo and in the past I guess around 6 months it has been parked because noone can figure out what the problem is. The vehicle used to be so dependable and then one day it wouldn't start after I drove it about 15 minutes and shut it off,but I could let it sit for about 20 to 30 minutes and it would start right up. After a few weeks I couldn't drive it anymore because it was stalling more often and I never knew when it was gonna start or not. I had it put on the computer at advance and they mention the number 3 not firing but noone can figure out why my very dependable vehicle all of a sudden was very dangerous. Please help me if u can,I am a single mother with no transportation. I have been reading entries by other Jeep owners and I have a little hope since alot of them are having the same problem.
