Three problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 1997 Jeep Laredo. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a 1997 Jeep Laredo & received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure) no dealership so I drove 120 miles to nearest Jeep service dept. They kept the vehicle for 4 hours then stated the parts that were needed to repair the vehicle were unavailable. The dealer was unable to provide an expected date for when the part would become available. It has been over a year and I never heard back. Since then I applied for the $100 gift card and they said I am ineligible since the item was already repaired. This Jeep has so many issues. Electrical short throughout entire vehicle that cuts out stereo, blinkers, running lights, brake lights, dash lights. Its not the fuses either. The drivers door hinges are rotting. The car now stalls daily even when going freeway speeds. The driver side seat motor has seized and no longer adjusts. Engine light stays on and it now won't pass smog tests. The front car shakes and needs tie rods. I am experiencing a complete loss. My only option is to scrap the vehicle since repairs would cost more than the vehicle is worth.
I drive a 1997 Jeep Laredo it back fires and stalls going down the highway with no warning. It has stalled at a stop lights. And help up traffic have replaced sensors and now going to try changing fuel pump. Air bag light comes on and off how safe is that came close to being rear ended by a semi with my grand kids in vehicle because of it cutting out and loosing power at 55mph these Jeeps are death traps and should be recalled before someone is killed and then its to late what is it going to take and how many complaints do you need to fix the problem.
Vehicle stalls and cut off at any speed. Sometimes it cranks back up ,other times immobile have to wait 20-30 mins to restart. Backfires. Blown out 2 mufflers. Spent hundreds of dollars on needless parts. Sensors, spark plugs,rotary cap etc. Still stalls,cut off in middle of traffic. Inside lights will not work. Had to remove fuse,lights remain on all the time. Very unsafe to me and my family. Never know when it will run or stop. Stalling will cause serious rear end collision and maybe cause fire. With so many complaints,I am shocked there is no recall. These Jeeps are unreliable,unsafe,embarrassing and oneday will cause serious accident . Abs light on,engine light never goes out. I have spent most of days at the mechanic. Jeep dealership will not intervene to resolve issue.
