STEERING
THE STEERING (DUE TO THE QUADRA-DRIVE SYSTEM) MADE THE VEHICLE FEEL AS THOUGH IT WAS ON A VERY BUMPY HIGHWAY. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TEST DROVE AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE AND EXPERIENCED NO PROBLEMS. I, THEN, TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEREUPON THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ALL A "MINOR" PROBLEM, THOUGH THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD SUPPOSEDLY BEEN FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP IN QUESTION ATTRIBUTED THIS WARNING TO A VAPOR LEAK. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN THIS WAY SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED.

#707577June 15, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
BEGINNING SPRING OF 98 VEHICLE BEGAN TO STUMBLE-EVER SO SLIGHTLY. BY LATE SPRING IT WAS CUTTING OUT. THIS WAS AT ABOUT 50K. I HAD IT TUNED UP. THE PROBLEM CONTINUTED UNTIL IT BEGAN TO ACTUALLY STALL, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. IT WOULD ALWAYS RESTART-IN PARK-RIGHT AWAY. THIS PROGRESSED TO STALLING AT ANY SPEED AND TAKING LONGER AND LONGER TO RESTART. ON ONE PARTICULAR TRIP THIS SPRING, WE RAN DOWN THE BATTERY TRYING TO GET IT STARTED AND WERE SOLD A "DEALER" BATTERY, TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TWO BLOCKS FROM THE SHOP IT STALLED AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN IN ONE SHOP FOR A WEEK, AND ANOTHER ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASSIONS. THE LAST VISIT WAS FOR BATTERY CABLE CLAMPS AND A FUEL FILTER. WELL THE NEXT DAY I DROVE MY USUAL 371/2 MILES TO WORK, 12 HOURS LATER I WENT OUT STARTED IT AND DROVE ABOUT 6 MILES, PARKED. HALF HOUR LATER, IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER 1 3/4 HOURS LATER IT STARTED, 5 MI LATER STOPPED FOR A LIGHT AND IT STALLED, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREE FOR 1/2 HOUR. IT STARTED AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS THE REMAINDER OF THE MILES HOME AT 70MPH. THERE IS SO SET SPEED WITH THESE STALLS OR WARNINGS. RECENTLY IT RESTARTED ITSELF, AS I WAS COASTING TO A SAFE SHOULDER AREA. NOW IT'S PARKED AGAIN, I'M VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. PLEASE HELP ME FIND THE PROBLEM. THANKS PAT M. *AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
HOWLING NOISE WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 50 TO 70 MPH. HAVE HAD VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP 9 TIMES FOR SAME PROBLEM. THE GRAND CHEROKEE IS A QUADRA-TRAC. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CHRYSLER REP. (BOB HORNE) HAVE TOLD US THAT CHRYLSER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CANNOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM, THAT WE HAVE TO "LIVE WITH IT" OR PURCHASE A SELECT-TRAC OR 2-WHEEL DRIVE THE NEXT TIME. THAT WAS THEIR SOLUTION FOR FIXING OUR VEHICLE. IF CHRYSLER IS AWARE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS, WHY ARE THEY NOT LETTING THE CONSUMER KNOW AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM TO FIND A SOLUTION. WE DIDN'T PAY ALMOST 30,000.00 TO LISTEN TO A HOWLING NOISE IN THE REAR-END FOR 4 YEARS, AND TO BE TOLD TO TURN THE RADIO UP LOUDER.....PLEASE HELP. *AK
