    Heater a/c for 1999 jeep grand cherokee... Failure to operate, ridiculous to repair. Makes driving in cold climates impossible, due to window fogging and ice buildup.

This issue is one of many intermittent mechanical problems plaguing this vehicle since purchasing it new, however this complaint is being filed for 4 specific reasons: 1) this type of problem resulting in total failure should not occur in such a new vehicle, 2)…

    The rotors on my 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo are going bad after having them done last year. This is a known problem with jeeps. I feel this should be looked into because this is not a norm. *nlm

    Mechanical · Rotor

    1999 jeep brake rotors- shaking while braking. Purchased jeep with 45,000 mile and they resurfaced them before i purchased the vehicle. Know at 60000 mile it shakes again pulling like anti-lock brakes activated. It is very serious shaking and if not prepared could and probably has caused accidents. Took jeep in for unrelated service and they told me that jeep has come out with new rotors for this problem and that it…
