LOUD GRINDING SOUND COMMING FROM THE FRONT AXLE. *AK
Service brakes, Hydraulic, Nov 24, 2003
WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED. THIS WAS CAUSED BY PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR. THIS OCCURRED AT 7000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PAD AND TURNED THE ROTORS. THE BRAKES WORE AGAIN AT 12,400 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PADS WITH A SPECIAL TYPE OF PAD AND TURNED THE ROTORS. THE PROBLEM RECURRED AT 26,000 MILES. *JB
Service brakes, Hydraulic, Nov 21, 2003
VEHICLE VIBRATED AND STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIED WHEN STOPPING. FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED WITH ABOUT 18,000 MILES. REPLACED AND STOPPED. AT 27,000 MILES IT'S BACK. *LA

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HEATER STOPPED WORKING 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE NEW VEHICLE. IT TOOK 7 MONTHS TO GET IT REPLACED. WRONG PARTS WERE ORDERED, THEN PARTS WERE BACK ORDERED, PHONE CALLS WERE NOT RETURNED OR IGNORED, AND I HAD TO BRING MY CAR IN NUMEROUS TIME, MISSING WORK FREQUENTLY. AFTER CHANGING DEALERSHIPS FOR MY WARRANTY WORK, I FINALLY GOT IT REPLACED. HOWEVER, I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE PASSENGER SEAT HEATER FAILING IN THE FUTURE. I WAS TOLD BY THE FIRST DEALER (I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THROUGH) THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE BOTH. HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT TO THE SECOND DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THAT "IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE PASSENGER HEATER WOULD FAIL BECAUSE YOU DO NOT USE IT AS OFTEN". WELL, HERE IT IS 2 YEARS LATER AND MY PASSENGER HEATER IS NOW NOT WORKING...4000 MILES AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. QUITE CONVENIENT, I MIGHT ADD. THIS TIME IT TOOK TWO VISITS TO THE DEALER AND A UN-RETURNED PHONE CALL OVER 2 WEEKS TO EVEN FIND OUT A PRICE FOR ME. AND OF COURSE, THE DATE OF DELIVERY OF THE PART IS UNKNOWN. 2/3 WINTER SEASONS WITHOUT A SEAT HEATER IN MY CAR IS UNACCEPTABLE. *LA

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. *MR THE VEHICLE HAD BECOME UNSTABLE WHEN BRAKING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. SLIGHT MODERATE BRAKING CAUSED THE EXCESSIVE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND INTENSIVE VIBRATION ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE POINT OF A LOST OF CONTROL. TSB# 0500501 WAS PERFORMED.

FIRST THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WENT OUT AND WOULD NOT ROLL UP, THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW RELAY, THEN NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DID THE SAME THING. AFTER MY DAD TOOK IT APART THE RELAY HE FOUND THAT WAS NOT THE MOTOR AT ALL BUT THE BOSCH GEAR & CABLE WERE DEFECTIVE, AND PROBABLY FROM THE BEGINNING BECAUSE THE VERY START OF THE CABLE WAS TOTALLY PINCHED AND CAUSED THE WHOLE CABLE TO GET BOND. *LA
Power train, Oct 9, 2003
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, VEHICLE FEELS SLUGGISH, AS THOUGH IT IS STARTING FROM SECOND OR THIRD GEAR. WHEN STOPPING, A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE IS HEARD. ROUGH AND ERRATIC SHIFTING IS FELT AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS. WITH A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 27,000 MILES ON IT, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING NORMALLY (AT LEAST AS NORMAL AS ANY OTHER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS I HAVE HAD OVER THE YEARS). I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS POSTED THAT EXPRESS SIMILAR PROBLEMS, BUT HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RESOLUTION FROM JEEP OTHER THAN TELLING THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. THIS TROUBLES ME AND DOES NOT GIVE ME MUCH CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. I WANT A RECORD OF THE PROBLEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. *LA

I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR AND DRIVE CORRECTLY. I DO NOT RIDE THE BRAKES OR "SLAM" THEM AT ANY TIME. HOW CAN A CAR WITH 30K000MILES GO THROUGH SO MANY BRAKES? UNDER-ENGINEERING, I THINK!*AK
