While driving my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee and hitting a small bump the emergency brake cable contacts the rear drive shaft universal joint. This is not easily detected upon stopping and restarting it stops. And then again when a bump is hit it happens again. I returned the vehicle to the dealer and was told they have to reroute the cable. I was informed while the rerouting that the cable needed to be replaced. I was charged for a new cable and labor. I believe if the dealer and Jeep know the cable must be rerouted it might be routed wrong from the factory. I have checked with a fleet manager of a large municipal police dept that has aprox 300 2008 Jeeps, they have experienced this on aprox 50 vehicles that are in there fleet. They were told by Jeep to reroute and wire tie the cable in place. I did not unfortunate ask for the used part be returned to me. You assistance in investigating this matter would be greatly appreciated by me and I hope others who have had this problem in the past or future.

My 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited w/42,000 miles. Yes . Not a typo . 42,000, orignal owner & "scared to death" to drive this SUV. I have alot of the already problems, that have been reported. Had to pay many, w/my own cash. This SUV schould have came in 1 color "lemon yellow". It is an accident watng to happen. The recent problem is now I have no a/c-heat or defroster. Ths is due, to failure of the automatic temp control to work. I t started 1st by intermittently working, till now not working at all, this is just 1 more, to the list , of many other problems. I don't think that it is an coincidence that all my issue have happenned, almost exactly, in the order, of all the other complaints. I can't undestand how a company can get away w/this. This new problem can cost up to $2000, if it is, like previous reported problems, happens to be the "blend doors". As a handicapped driver I drive less than 4,000 miles a year. This is the only auto I drive, thus the many, many probs have yet to raise thier head. I have read almost all complaints(too many to read) this SUV schould be a "total recall, I have never heard more complaints & problems, in my life, for any automobile. This SUV schould be studied & reseached, on "how not to build an automobile. Just read the many complaints here & on the internet. We are not making this stuff up. I don't know how they stayed in business as long as they did. We, the taxpayers, bailed them out. Who is bailing out all the owners, of this "death-trap"? if that is not absurd enuff, many problems could have been repaired, by Jeep & still can. What is the purpose, of nhsta, if not to intervene? you have all the complaints. Hundreds of them. You have them posted, yet, we taxpayers/owners safety, has been at risk ever since this SUV was driven out of the showroom. How did you not make a recall on the rotor/brakes issue which was reported at 3,000 miles? I am so frustrated. Is braking problems not a safety issue? please, help us!.

I parked my vehicle in a driveway and took the key out of the ignition. I opened the rear passenger door and put my son in the backseat. The vehicle gearshift lever was pushed out of park and into reverse with my 3 year old son in the vehicle. The vehicle rolled backwards 20 feet and crashed into a truck. If the truck wasn't there it would have rolled even further into the pond. I'm just hoping this doesn't happen to anyone else, it could've killed someone. I am contacting my dealership to try to get the issue resolved. According to the owner's manual the brake transmission interlock system failed on my vehicle. You should not be able to move the gear shift lever in the p (park) position when the ignition switch is in the lock position. To move the gear selector lever out of the p (park) position, the ignition switch must be turned to the on position, and the brake pedal must be depressed.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee heat not working - a common complaint of many Jeep owners seeking to file a class-action lawsuit against daimler Chrysler Jeep. $900 + is beyond absurd to pay to fix this common problem that Jeep should have recalled and fixed for free.

I am complaining about the lack of service for my Jeep cherokee. There is are a couple of recalls for this vehicle. One is the b02 and the other is the 879. I have made arrangements to have them fixed at the smithtown and bayshore dealerships and each appointment has been cancelled. I cannot take the car to a mechanic because the car rolls out of gear when it is in park (b02 recall). So the work that has to be done hasn't been taken care of because mechanics will not bring the car into the shop. As a matter of fact the one time someone allowed it into the shop it rolled out of gear and almost ran the mechanics over. Lets just say we are not on good terms because of this. Parts are worn out. But until this roll out of park issue is taken care of no one will see the car. Again I made several appointments to see Chrysler dealer but they keep canceling my appointments. I want to be paid for the parts that are wearing out and cannot be fixed due to no mechanic will see the car. And I want the dealerships in smithtown and bayshore reported for canceling appointments that were made in advance.

Consumer noticed a chirping noise coming from the front wheels that disappeared when the brakes were applied. The dealer was unable to correct the problem the consumer was referring to. The consumer had a list of problems that needed to be corrected on the vehicle and they were: rotors and pads front and rear, emergency brake shoes, wiper blades, muffler and tail pipe, oil dip dip stick, right axle boot,emergency brake pivot, the back glass needed to be adjusted, the fuel pump module was replaced, the rear differential bearings were replaced. The consumer was told by customer service there were 2 outstanding recalls on the vehicle and the problem she was describing sounded as though it was related to one of the recalls.

As I was in park with my vehicle running, my vehicle jumped out of park into reverse and rolled away eventually hitting a woman putting her into the hospital. It also had done damage to the funeral home we were at. I was not in the vehicle at the time. Several times before the incident the car shifter would lock up and not even move out of park.

After conducting business at a drive in bank consumer proceeded to leave. Consumer placed foot on the accelerator and the vehicle accelerated. Then, he applied the emergency brake, however, it did not stop the vehicle. It stroke a four foot embankment, the only thing that stopped the vehicle was a concrete retaining wall, which was struck at 30 mph. Upon impact, the air bags did not deploy, the emergency brake and the anti lock brakes did not kick in.

Service brake would not release. Brake caused violent vehicle vibration and feedback to steering wheel. Steering wheel vibrated so violently it was difficult to hold. Brakes would not release and allow wheels to spin freely. Mileage dropped off to 7 mpg from 16 mpg or so. Service brake fluid reservoir seemed to be filling back up? brake linings were wearing away and smoking. One rotor which was not scored prior to incident is now badly scored. The pads had plenty of a lining left before the incident and car is now unsafe, accept to drive to the shop to replace rotors and upgrade caliper. Park brake and down shifting have limited stopping capability.

The car was parked and jumped into revesre by itself and hit a tree.

The transmission did not shift and accelerate properly, the dealer could not duplicate the problem. The abs light illuminated on the dashboard, after the vehicle was turned off, all the gauges illuminated, the parking brake was adjusted, and the battery was replaced.

Consumer states that when vehicle was in park the parking brake disengages causing an accident. Dealer notified. Mr.

Consumer stated the the vehicle was in park with the emergency brake engaged and engine running. The consumer exited the vehicle then it began to roll backwards and hit a brick wall. Upon inspection the consumer noticed that the gear lever had shifted from park to reverse. The consumer contacted the dealer about gear shift problem prior to this accident.

Rear parking brake shoes seem to "fall off" of backing plates. I discussed this with several people who own the same vehicle, and have the same problem. My service advisor stated he has seen this on other vehicles, as well as a dealership mechanic. Once the show separates inside the rear brake, the parking brake does not function properly. Daimerchrysler states it is not a warranty item because it is part of the brakes. If a consumer does not know that his parking brake is inoperative, it could cause a potential accident.

Vehicle came out of gear. 24-5176-815.
