general problems of the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The SUV randomly shuts down like someone unplugged it and will not start. Sometimes it will start after 10-15 minutes and shut down again. I replaced the oxygen sensor, the crank sensor, idle control sensor, and the car computer.

No start.

The Jeep will suddenly cut off while driving, this has happened to me and my family several times on the highway. I replaced ( crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, air idle control valve, & pcm) . Still shuts down. Took it to several shops and know one can find the problem why? I've been doing alot of research, and noticed alot of Jeep owers are having the same problems?.

After sending my Jeep Grand Cherokee to pugh’s service center in greenville, nc, in December 2018, because it would turnover, but not start. They replaced the ecm, but had to be taken to the local Jeep dealership for an oe ecm replacement and a crankshaft sensor, in order to get it to crank. Upon getting my Jeep back in March 2019, it ran fine for a few days. Then I went to start it, and it started, but after a few seconds, all of the gauges stopped working and all of the warning lights came on. I contacted both pugh’s and the Jeep dealership, telling me I should just bring it in, to run more diagnostics. The Jeep only has 94,000 miles, and I spent about what the vehicle was worth upon getting it back in March 2019; so I’ve been hesitant on taking it back. There are many other people who have similar issues with the instrument panel gauges and warning lights, from the information I’ve researched online; with no indications of the problem being resolved.

Have not tried to drive it since, been parked in the garage. We have owned this vehicle since new, leased at first, then bought it. Concerned about this, having heard of engines shutting off in other vehicles causing crashes and death or injury. We have not taken the vehicle to be checked yet.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee 2000 sporadically has power loss continued by a sudden acceleration, the problem is more frequently now too.

On my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo the head is cracked between the cylinders , I have read up on other Jeeps with this problem and there has been several complaints with this problem in the inline six engine.

The engine simply stops without warning. I had taken it to dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong. Four days later while driving to the dealer it died on a 6 lane street. I was in our other vehicle and towed it to the dealer myself. It has been 6 days and I have not heard from them.

The vehicle cut off while the consumer was driving. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer where no defects were found, and the problem could not be duplicated.

Bought 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee new. Now has 57000 miles on it. Two main problems now exist: 1. I had to have brakes replaced after 25000 miles. They now need replaced again. Extreme vehicle shaking and vibration thru the steering wheel. Appears to be common prob experienced by many based on the volume of complaints I am seeing. Dealer will not assist. Chrysler rep will not assist. 2. Experienced low oil pressure reading. Took car in for analysis and they tell me engine needs replaced. Gunk buildup in engine they say is cause of problem. Oil has been changed regularly. I cannot prove record of all oil changes, but it has been changed at reputable service centers. Engine $5600. Chrysler district unwilling to assist. I am frustrated at their lack of communication, attitudes, and lack of quality in this vehicle. They try to make you feel like a common criminal and are unwilling to stand behind their product. This vehicle cost about $35,000 and it is far from being worth the value.

I purchased my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 1999. I have been in and out of the dealer service for repeat major problems. My tire squeaked loudly while driving and after a year of not finding the problem, and fixing what they thought was the problem the left front wheel bearing was replaced and solved that problem. During the problem with the squeak they informed me that the transfer case had a problem and the solution was to drain and refill the 4wd transfer case fluid, I had them complete the service. Also during my cargo door would not open neither would the window, they replaced the latch lift. The next problem was that I was noticing smoke coming from underneath my hood. I brought that to their attention and they notice a fluid leak and had to replace my cylinder head gasket. The smoke was still there after that effort and now my transmission has went out. I need an overhaul transmission that will cost $1800. 00 because now it's out of warranty. When I called the dealership they made it seem as if I did not take care of my vehicle. When my Jeep needs servicing I always went to the dealership (5 star) so they can help me take care of my investment. Any needed repair that was requested I had done. My Jeep only has 57,000 miles on it. The crysler company has most definitely lost a customer.

Consumer states that while the vehicle was turned off a fire started under the hood on the passenger side. Please provide any additional information. Ph.
