POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE ENTIRELY STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AT IDLE OR VERY LOW SPEEDS. JERKS AND FLASHES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR ONE SECOND OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL ROAD SPEEDS. HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY UNDER NO SPECIFIC CONDITIONS (COLD, HOT, WET, DRY, ETC.) INTERMITTENT PROBLEM SO CODES CANNOT BE DETECTED. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN HEAVY MID DAY CITY TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. COULD NOT BE RESTARTED FROM PARK FOR 10 MINUTES, BLOCKED ENTIRE INTERSECTION AND ENTRANCE TO PLAZA. WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING VEHICLES MULTIPLE TIMES. HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC AS IT HAS BEFORE. BOUGHT USED. APPEARS TO HAVE HAD PCM, AIR FILTER, PLUGS AND WIRES REPLACED. STALLING ISSUE IS OBVIOUSLY EXTREMELY PREVALENT AMONGST THIS VEHICLE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED BY THE RESPONSIBLE COMPANIES BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, LIKELY BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED.

STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
I HAVE A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT I LOVE. HOWEVER, MY FACTORY INSTALLED SUNROOF LEAKS (AND BY LEAKS I MEAN IT POURS RAIN ON ME). I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FIVE SEPARATE REPAIR SHOPS, INCLUDING A JEEP DEALERSHIP, AND EACH HAS TOLD ME THAT A SEAL FROM THE SUNROOF HAS BROKEN OFF AND IT WILL BE $600 AS THEY HAVE TO INSTALL A NEW GLASS PIECE WITH THE SEAL BUILT IN AS THAT IS THE ONLY WAY JEEP MAKES SUNROOFS NOW. THIS SEAL IS A KNOWN DEFECT, AS ADMITTED BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS SUCH A KNOWN DEFECT THAT YOU CAN ONLY BUY THE GLASS AND SEAL TOGETHER NOW. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN BE A KNOWN DEFECT WITH JEEPS AND YET NOT BE A RECALL. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $600 TO REPAIR WHAT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE FIX, BUT HAS TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE EVERY TIME IT RAINS, WHICH IS OFTEN SINCE I LIVE IN OREGON. I CONSTANTLY HEAR ON JEEP COMMERCIALS HOW JEEP PRIDES ITSELF IN ITS NAME. I LOVE EVERY THING ABOUT MY JEEP, EXCEPT FOR AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. BELOW I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL WEBSITES DISCUSSING THE LEAKING SUNROOF ISSUE AND THE SEAL DEFECT TO SHOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY JEEP OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. I LOVE MY JEEP, IT HAS BEEN THE BEST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER BOUGHT AND IT IS OFTEN THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT CAN GET ME TO MY PROPERTY IN THE WINTER DUE TO THE LAND BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH TERRIBLE ROADS. I WAS INTERESTED IN BUYING A NEWER ONE WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS UNTIL THE SUNROOF ISSUE HAPPENED. I FIND IT DISTRESSING THAT A KNOWN DEFECT IS ALLOWED TO REMAIN UNRECALLED AND JEEP OWNERS HAVE TO SUFFER FOR IT. IS JEEP PLANNING ON ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE OR WILL I NO LONGER BE A JEEP OWNER?

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
OUT OF NO WHERE MY 98 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE STARTED EXPERIENCING STALLING PROBLEMS AND MISFIRES SPORADICALLY DURING ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WILL BE SITTING AT IDLE OR GOING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND WILL JUST STALL. IT CRANKS BACK UP FINE (MOST OF THE TIME-SOMETIMES, IT TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS OF CRANKING IT) THE PROBLEM OCCURS AT DIFFERENT TIMES - MORNING, NIGHT, COLD, HOT, ETC. IT SEEMS TO ACT WORSE THE LONGER THE VEHICLE HAS SAT UNDRIVEN (OVERNIGHT OR DURING A WORK SHIFT). I STALL OUT IN TRAFFIC - RECENTLY AT A LIGHT AND THEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I COULD NOT START MY VEHICLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A RECALL ITEM AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE POSTED THESE COMPLAINTS. THE IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND WITH THE STALLING ISSUES HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING - IT'S A BIG PROBLEM THAT SOMEONE SHOULD ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I HAVE SPENT A WEEK AT THE MECHANIC SHOP REPLACING PART AND SPENDING MONEY ONLY TO NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DISTRIBUTOR, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SPARK PLUG WIRES, ETC HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM - $500 LATER. *TR

THE GLASS SUN ROOF OF OUR 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TOTALLY DETACHED (BLEW OFF) WHILE MY WIFE AND 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON WERE DRIVING ON AN IDAHO HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 55 MPH. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC DIRECTLY BEHIND THE VEHICLE. UPON CALLING OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN OCCURRENCE AND WERE OF ABSOLUTELY NO HELP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I JUST READ ABOUT AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK ON THESE CARS IN THE EVENT OF A REAR END COLLISION. THIS MIGHT BE A FACTOR AND IF NOT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THERE IS A HEAT SHIELD THAT IS ABOUT A SQUARE FOOT IN SIZE MOUNTED IN FRONT OF THE FUEL TANK THAT IS BOLTED TO THE FLOOR BOARD OF THE CAR. IT IS HELD ON WITH TWO STEEL SCREWS WITH WASHERS. SINCE STEEL AND ALUMINUM WILL REACT WHEN PLACE TOGETHER THE HOLES THROUGH THE ALUMINUM BECOME OVERSIZED AND THE SHIELDS DROP OFF. IT IS THERE FOR A REASON AND THUSLY SHOULD BE REPLACED. JEEP NO LONGER HAS A REPLACEMENT PART BECAUSE I GUESS THE PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT THAT THEY HAVE RUN OUT OF STOCK AND ELECT NOT TO MAKE MORE OF THEM. THERE HAS TO BE VERY LARGE NUMBER OF THESE CARS STILL ON THE ROAD MISSING THIS SHIELD. JEEP SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE MORE OF THEM SO THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED. IT SHOULD BE REDESIGNED AS WELL SO IT WILL NOT BE PRONE TO FALLING OFF IN THE FUTURE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THE PROBLEM. IT CONTINUES TO STALL NO MATTER THE WEATHER OR HOW LONG HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR. IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU A WARNING OF THE STALL. THE CAR STOP WHILE TURNING OR JUST DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (HIGHWAY) AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCK AND NOT GOTTEN KILLED. DUE TO THE CAR STALLING ON THE FREEWAY. AND FROM THE INTERNET INFORMATION THERE ARE ALOT OF GRAND CHEROKEES OUT THERE HAVING THE SAME STALLING PROBLEM. HOPE THAT NOBODY HAS TO DIE BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED. THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE STALL PROBLEM FOR THE 2008 CARS BUT IT SHOULD OF BEEN DONE FOR THE CARS FROM 1996 TO 2008. DUE TO HAVING THE SAME STALLING PROBLEMS. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
HAVE JUST BEEN ADVISED THAT A MOTOR WHICH OPERATES SOME TYPE OF DOOR TO RELEASE HEAT AND AIR IN A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT APPEARS THAT NO REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE AND JEEP HAS A 1200 PART BACKLOG WITH NO PLANS IN THE WORKS TO EVEN BEGIN PRODUCTION OF THIS PART FOR REPLACEMENT. WHILE ONE CAN CONCEIVABLY DO WITHOUT HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING, THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS HAVING A WORKING DEFROSTER IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER IS A NECESSITY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 98 JGC STARTED STALLING RANDOMLY; ON ACCELERATION, DECELERATION, HIGHWAY, STOPLIGHTS, ETC. IT WOULD ALWAYS START BACK UP AND RUN AGAIN, BUT THE STALLING WOULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. NO CODES WOULD REGISTER EITHER. THE DEALER TRIED REPLACING THE IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR AND IGNITION COIL ($300), BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I REPLACED THE IGNITION WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR CAP, SPARK PLUGS, AND THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR BUT STILL THE SAME. . WHEN THIS OCCURS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD DROP OUT MOMENTARILY. ALSO, WHEN THE ASD DROPS OUT, THERE ARE NO COMPUTER CODES REGISTERED. THEY ALSO CLEANED THE CONTACTS ON ALL THE RELAYS UNDER THE HOOD AND COATING WITH DI-ELECTRIC GREASE. THIS DID NOT HELP EITHER. *TR

SEATS
I HAVE A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND IT SEEMS THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HAS BECOME BROKEN AT THE BASE AND NOW WOBBLES AND IS JUST ABOUT UNUSABLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION AND ONLINE RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. THE JEEP DEALER WILL WANT $400+ TO REPAIR THIS. SINCE THESE SEATS BREAK WHILE DRIVING AND THANKFULLY FOR ME I WASN'T INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO KIND OF RECALL ON THESE. THE STEEL USED FOR THESE PARTS IS VERY CHEAP AND THIN AND BREAK WAY TOO EASILY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
YESTERDAY, APRIL 8TH 2009, I DROVE TO CLASS AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS OR SIGNS OF THEM. AFTER 1 HOUR, I STARTED THE CAR, WHICH STARTED FINE, AND BEGAN TO DRIVE BACK HOME. AT A STOP LIGHT 2 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING, I PRESS THE GAS, AND THE CAR SEEMED TO STALL, AS IF THE ENGINE WAS GIVING WAY OR STUMBLING. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES, GETTING VERY CLOSE TO STALLING. THE FOLLOWING DAY, TODAY, APRIL 9TH, AFTER LEAVING THE CAR OFF FOR THE NIGHT,IT STARTED PERFECTLY. 2 MINUTES LATER, AT A STOP LIGHT, IT LOST ALL POWER. IT HAD TROUBLE TURNING OVER THE FIRST TWO ATTEMPTS, BUT THE THIRD TIME IT STARTED PERFECTLY. AFTER THAT, I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING, AGAIN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. THE FIRST COUPLE ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE DIDN'T TURN OVER, BUT AGAIN, WHEN IT DID START, IT STARTED PERFECTLY. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES. AFTER LEAVING AGAIN, IT WAS ABOUT 20 MINUTES AFTER IGNITION THAT WHEN ON A MAIN ROAD, IT DID NOT STALL COMPLETELY, BUT WAS LIKE IT WAS STARTING/TRYING TO. IT STUMBLED AND JERKED ROUGHLY. AFTER THAT, IT DROVE ROUGH, BEFORE I RETURNED HOME AND TURNED IT OFF. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I AM ON A HIGHWAY OR MAIN ROAD, THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT A HIGHER SPEED, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT/HARM TO ME/DRIVERS AROUND ME. I HAVE SEARCHED EVERYWHERE FOR ANY INFORMATION ON HOW TO FIX THIS, AND MANY OTHER JEEP OWNER HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND BEEN TOLD BY NUMEROUS MECHANICS THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR
