VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE SPEED CONTROL WILL NOT HOLD A CONSISTANT SPEED, IT WILL SLOWLY DROP IN SPEED ON LEVEL GROUND, DOWN HILL, AND UP HILL. WHEN THE SPEED DROPS TO A CERTAIN LEVEL THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT TO A LOWER GEAR AND THEN FOUNDER SOME MORE. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE UNIT FROM THEIR COMPUTER CHECKING. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES WITH NO LUCK. *AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE FIRST WEEK I OWNED MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE, IT STARTED CLUNKING AND JERKING. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, THEY REPLACED THE DRIVE SHAFT. I CONTINUE TO HAVE SIMILAR AND OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, GEAR SHIFTING, BRAKES, ETC...I INQUIRED OF THE DEALERSHIP WHETHER OR NOT THERE WERE ANY REPORTED MANUFACTURERS DEFECTS AND THEY SAID NO. THEY LIED.

#717023January 7, 2000
POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
DRIVESHAFT AND YOKE ARE DEFECTIVE IN THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER AND THE REFUSE TO FIX IT. I PAID OVER $39000 FOR MY VEHICLE, AND I'M CONVINCED THAT IT IS NOT SAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE ARE SEVERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS UNDERWAY AGAINST JEEP FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE EVEN SET UP COMPLAINT FORUMS IN SOME AUTOMOBILE REVIEW WEB SITES. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE IN THIS MATTER. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT AFTER 4 SERVICE ATTEMPS THEY CANT FIX IT. *AK
