SERVICE BRAKES | 3/27/2013 - DANVILLE, VA
FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT CALIPERS SEIZED CAUSING CALIPER, PAD AND ROTOR OVERHEATING AND BRAKE ROTOR CRACKED AND FAILED CAUSING ME TO SCRAPE A GUARD RAIL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP. THIS IS THE THIRD BRAKE CALIPER RELATED FAILURE I HAVE HAD IN THE LAST 24 MONTHS. THE PREVIOUS 2 RESULTED IN MY REPLACING CALIPERS ROTORS AND PADS. JEEP IS AWARE THAT THE CALIPERS ARE DEFECTIVE AND WOULD REPLACE THEM WITH AN UPGRADED DIFFERENT TYPE BUT ONLY WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THERE ARE DOZENS OF REPORTS ON LINE AT VARIOUS FORUMS OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ORDERED THE UPGRADED CALIPER (NOW THAT I KNOW ABOUT THEM) AND WILL REPLACE THIS BUT JEEP SHOULD NOTIFY ALL OWNERS OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE SO THAT WE DO NOT CONTINUE TO REPLACE A KNOWN BAD PART WITH THE SAME KNOWN BAD PARTS. AS I CONSIDER THIS DANGEROUS A RECALL WOULD NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION EITHER.

ENGINE | 3/12/2013 - DEERBROOK, WI
FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR, THE VEHICLE WHEN TRAVELING OVER 50MPH, DEVELOPS WHAT ONLINE RESEARCH DESCRIBES AS "DEATH WOBBLE". THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES SUDDENLY IN YOUR HANDS, THE FRONT END WOBBLES AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. SLOWING DOWN BELOW 50MPH USUALLY RESOLVES THE ISSUE...BUT THAT IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP AND HAS TRAVELED 20+ MILES. A MAJOR NATIONAL TV CHANNEL HAS PRODUCED A NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT THIS WITH FILM OF THE VEHICLE DURING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". WE BELIEVE THAT CONGRESS HAS ASKED JEEP ABOUT THIS ISSUE PREVIOUSLY. THE JEEP COMPANY IN OUR TOWN SUGGESTED ROTATING TIRES AND CHECKING BRAKES. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THERE ARE LOTS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS. IN ADDITION TO LOTS OF COMPLAINTS, THERE'S BEEN LOTS OF MONEY SPENT ON LOTS OF PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THE ISSUE. EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION ARE. EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE ONLY 45000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, IT CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO PROVIDE A SAFE JOURNEY. WE ARE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE COMPANY AND VEHICLE. HOPING FOR A RECALL SOON! (ON A SIDE NOTE, A NEIGHBOR OF OURS HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE WITH HIS JEEP. IF WE ARE AWARE OF 2 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, IT HAS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.) PLEASE HELP. THANKS.

AIR BAGS | 3/2/2013 - E. SANDWICH , MA
NO ACCIDENT REPORT TO FILE BUT THE POTENTIAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOING ON/OFF WHILE DRIVING THE 1999 JEEP GCL. AFTER VIEWING SOME POSTINGS ON LINE THERE IS A DEFINITE TREND ASSOCIATED WITH THESE UNITS. EASIEST, LEAST EXPENSIVE FIX IS TO PULL FUSE FOR THE AIR BAG CONTROLS, I PUT UP WITH THE ANNOYING CHIME BUT WONDER IF THE AIR BAG WILL WORK DURING THESE INTERMITTENT FAULTS. HAVE YOU SEEN ANY REPORTS OF ACCIDENTS WITH 1999 JEEPS WITH NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT??? MOST APPARENT CAUSE IS THE CLOCKSPRING MECHANISM IN THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH ONLY THE DEALER CAN REPAIR. TIME FOR A RECALL!!!

SEATS | 2/26/2013 - BROOKLYN PARK, MN
THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT TRACK ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE FAILED 5 TIMES SINCE 2004. THE FIRST TRACK WAS REPAIRED TWICE. FINALLY IN 2008 I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW TRACK FOR OVER $500 AT PARK JEEP IN BURNSVILLE, MN. THAT ONE LASTED 3 YEARS AND FAILED AND IT WAS REPAIRED ONCE. 6 MONTHS AGO IT FINAL FAILED AGAIN AND MY DRIVER SEAT BECAME A ROCKING CHAIR FOR THE 5TH TIME. I REPLACED THAT ONE WITH A USED ONE I FOUND AND AM JUST WAITING FOR THAT ONE TO COME APART.

THE AIRBAG SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING ON MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND MY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY RESET THE SENSOR AND AS I DRIVE AWAY FROM THE DEALER THE WARNING LIGHT COMES BACK ON. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE I'VE CONCLUDED THAT THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE IN 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

AIR BAGS | 11/20/2012 - SMITHFIELD, NC
THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE ABS MALFUNCTION ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 198,000.
