Problem. . . Driving down the road or stopped at light or in the middle of a turn or on expressway. . . It would shut off without warning, sometime it would restart immediately, sometimes not!!!. . . Extremely dangerous situations developed, which I was lucky!!! 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 4. 0 , 6 cyl. . . . Spent 6 months doing repairs/ replacement parts and many ,many dollars spent tracking down part after part. Using diagnostics machine to determine faulty part. . . Problem was the power control module ( pcm or ecu same part) was defective and either was misreading codes or giving out bad codes to parts (like to the crank shaft position sensor or the coil, or the 01 or 02 ox sensors or it goes on and on and on). Not sure how it works but you get my drift. Since signing up with cnet. Com, have found many people across America with the same issue on Jeep with different years (1994/2000) and models. To search. . . Look up Jeep stalls or Jeep fixed and you will see other topics and forums around that topic and you will also see where the manufacture doesn't know how to address the problem either. Another possible recall issue is the screws that hold the pcm might be too long and are grounding out the unit after paint wears off on firewall. . . Important to read all articles and different forums!!! . . . Is a must lastly. . . Instead of replacing pcm's, is it possible to have the pcm re flashed under recall??? I'm stretching, but maybe electrical power storms and rain is causing parts to defect??? lastly. . . Jeep parts consists of module power units that work or don't work but the pcm reads the codes and adjusts the workable of the motor. . . Another issue is that there are several issues that will shut down the motor besides the fore mentioned parts. . . Ie. . . Asd relay, the security system, door locks, steering column, the electronic key, the back windshield wiper. . .

I went to grayson Jeep and reported that I had possible safety issues with my vehicle that needed to be addressed. The assistant service manager refused to look at my vehicle and said that I needed an appointment to be seen. However, the dealership has no "by appointment only" policy. I asked to speak to the service manager. When the service manager came out (j. R. Laudermilk), I told him the situation and he responded by saying that they were not going to work on my vehicle so I should leave the property. I asked him on what grounds he refused to work on my vehicle and he responded by saying that they were an independantly owned dealership and he did not have to honor my warranty if he didn't want to. I refused to leave the dealership until I received the owners name and number. After calling the owner to discuss the situation with him he has failed to return my calls. The dealership should be held responsible for failing to respond to a safety related issue without grounds for doing so. No safety defect mentioned.

When the consumer applied the brakes they pulsated, which caused the vehicle experienced extended stopping distance. Dealer notified. Consumer wouldn't let her 15 yr. Old daughter drive the vehicle in fear of the brakes failing, nor would she sell it. The vehicle had been to the mechanic many times and the problem continued to exist. . The rotors and pads were replaced several times. The driver's side door was hard to lock, and the windshield wipers worked intermittently.

When shifting vehicle in reverse it makes a loud noise and vehicle jerks. Dealership replaced tranfer case twice, and rebuiltd the driveshaft. The vehicle would not start due to fuel pump failure.

No summary listed for above vehicle.

1)"front sway link eliminator bars" both failed after front cv joint replacement causing very poor/dangerous handling. Dealer refuses to consider that prior removal caused damage, says they were rusty. 2) windshield wipers fail while going over bumps. Dealer refuses to cover under warranty. Wants nearly $400 for repair. 3) door locks, dome lights lock and unlock by themselves while vehicle is running or not, causing passangers/keys to be locked inside. Dealer refuses to fix. 4) check engine light comes on and vehicle fails to start, after several minutes vehicle then starts. Dealer refuses to believe there is a problem and won't fix under warranty.

Rear windshield wipers fuse keep blowing out, which causes the windshield wipers to work intermittently.

Since buying the veh, loud differential whine at 45+ mph; front rotors needed to be replaced (warped) at 7500 miles; rear flipper glass leaks; loud grinding noise when pulling away from curb (transfer case fluid replaced after lurching when making tight.

Have experienced numerous quality problems including the 4 wheel drive grinding and jumping, window function problems, rear washerhose leak into rear compartment, rough transmission into reverse from park, oil gauge failure and engine clicking noise during acceleration. Dealer on many occasions says they are normal for the truck to experience and not to worry. I don't believe them.

I have had the following failures: fuel guage/ brakes (3) times/engine mount, and water pump, brought the vehicle in (5) times before they fixed the transmission, rear windshield wipers quit working, and then restarted. Also cd player died. Is this a lemon?.

Dealership said these defects were not covered fuel sending unit sends wrong level of gas in tank, brakes failed pulsated full brake job was done , rear windsheild wiper doesn't work at times.

While driving at 40 mph, and upon pressing down on brake, vehicle shaks very hard, rotors appear to be very worn, vehicle has been taken to dealer approximately 5 times already. Consumer also stated there is a ticking noise from engine when starting up,steering damper and drag link assembly were loose,transmission shifts hard into reverse, right rear turn signal bulb was replaced, vehicle began to overheat, right side mirror was cracked,speaker was inoperative, the trim on the door panel was loose, exhaust system was loud, parking brake needed to be adjusted, passenger side seat belt was inoperative, passenger wiper blade was not cleaning the window, keyless entry remote was inoperative.

The wiper blades stiffen and lose contact with the windshield, except at the ends, at temperatures below 30 f. The blades will not even clear water from the windshield. Stopping and cleaning the blades only works for a few minutes. In order to see where you are going, you must look through the bottom of the windshield. I have been driving in identical winter conditions for over 20 years with subarus and my other Jeep and have only experienced this type of problem under extreme conditions. I feel that this is a serious safety problem that Jeep needs to address. The dealer says that nothing can be done unless they have a TSB.

Wiper arm assembly failed. Mjs.

When the outside temperature drops below freezing the front windshield wipers move so slowly(1 pass takes 5-7 seconds) that they can not keep the windshield clear of debree and create a driving hazard. The dealer verified the problem but everything is within specs so they can not do anything about it. They also verified that this problem happens with all 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokees under these conditions.

Consumer states transmission does not shift the way it should, there is a delay when going into gear and it makes a noise, rear seal, pan gasket, and cooler lines leaking, humming in engine at 59-62 mph, the wiper blades failed, while using remote there is a grinding noise coming from door area, the right front rotor is worn, the deqler replaced the front brake pads, and headlights need to be adjusted.

None of these things have been fixed to date. Dealer was given 2 chances and kept saying they could not see anything. Took to another dealer & they said drive shaft, brakes, pinion & gear, back glass all needed replaced. Would not work on vehicle because of dealer fraud. Bought oct. 1999 new. Had been in service since sept. 1998. Did not want to get involved. No safety defect listed in the summary.

Rear wiper does not perfrom properly.

I sent a detailed letter to daimler Chrysler after being refused by dealer. They only refunded my money for the cost of the front rotors. They would not reimburse me for the labor charges. I can't understand how they can do that when I had them replaced before the recall. That should show there is a problem. I wrote about all my problems with this "lemon" but I could not claim it was a lemon because I was leasing it at the time and in PA, a vehicle can only be declared a "lemon" when it is purchased, not leased. Very dissatisfied with daimler/Chrysler because they simply washed their hands of the entire problem. I have other problems to report, along with the receipts to prove they were investigated but nothing was ever done to correct the problems. Please contact me to forward all receipts proving complaints before warranty expired. Thank you.

Rear wiper design causes poor visibility due to failure of the wiper blade to contact the rear windshield.
