We have had consistant problems with the transmision. It has been in the shop 4 times so far, and they can't seem to find a problem. My daughter is driving this car, and she had to drive back from chicago (300) miles with the selector in neutral in order for it to engage. I took it back to the shop, and they couldn't find anything wrong. This is a leased car that is due in oct. 2002, and if i could, i would return…

Automatic Transmission · Fuel Pump

Also had fuel pump failure in conjunction with transmission failure w/in the first year to year and a half of ownership of this vehicle. The dealer contacted chrysler, but i was not eligible for lemon law coverage. They did extend the warranty on this leased vehicle. (dealership) i have never felt safe in this vehicle, and i cannot believe that we paid $32500 for something that is only worth less than $10000 today.…

At complete stop or when starting from complete stop there is a loud clang or a loud thud in the transmition assembly and the car lunges forward as if rear ended. The dealer claims that chrysler is aware of this problem in a number of 1999 grand cherokee limited cars; but there is no known fix or solution yet!

When shifting into "reverse" the transmission slams very hard into reverse in such a manner that i have never experienced in twenty years of driving. When it slams into reverse, it makes a loud noise and the jeep would lunge but for my foot on the brake. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that this was normal on all 1999 grand cherokees. I question whether this is normal. *ak
