I am an owner of a 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited v8. I have encountered many problems with this vehicle but some have already been resolved under manufacturer's warranty. A couple problems still exist though. One main problem is that my vehicle occasionally stalls out on me at red lights. It idles very slow (@400 rpm) and this is usually when the vehicle fails on me. I'll lose power to the transmission, but all…

The motor has a metallic type knocking or tapping noise that increases in rapidity as the rpm increases until it becomes a high pitched screaming type sound. The dealer refuses to accept this as a problem since other 1999 6 cylinder jeeps do it also. However my 1996 jeep with the same engine didnot make these noises. *ak

Vehicle idles irratically and has completely stalled on several occasions. Control module was reprogrammed on august 24, 1999 after technical service came up with solution to problem. Vehicle has since stalled again. My question is why is there not a recall or warning about this problem since the vehicle could stall at rr crossings or intersections where an accident could occur. Vehicle was reprogrammed again dec.…

Have experienced numerous quality problems including the [redacted] grinding and jumping, window function problems, rear washerhose leak into rear compartment, rough transmission into reverse from park, oil gauge failure and engine clicking noise during acceleration.

If your using any of the gears to apply engine braking in a downgrade once the tachometer reaches 2500 or more the engine enters a freewheeling state where there is little or no slowing effect. With the use of any gear, after the initial braking caused by the engine revving to match the gear speed (flywheel effect) the engine goes into a "high idle" state and offers no more compression braking. The only way to slow…

I was driving the vehicle in traffic, when it suddenly slowed to a crawl, and the engine light never came on until after i stopped. I can no longer trust this vehicle, an it it too time consuming to keep taking it in for repairs. I need relieable trasportation. Also because it is a new vehicle, no one ever has any parts and i have to wait weeks to let the dealer get them in to fix the vehicle.

For example, when entering a busy road from a side road with poor visibility, the vehicle stalled when…

After being in to reprogram several times, now the vehicle is hard to start, it takes from 5-10 seconds to start. The car has transfer case problems that make the…
