Driving 1-95N to baltimore, heard a clunk as if something had hit car from beneath, lost 5th gear. Got off at next exit, lost reverse gear in parking lot of hotel. Next morning tow operator started car, enormous clattering, severed piece of plastic had jammed radiator fan. Towed to aaa approved garage. They temorarily fiked car by holding engine up with a chain. Got back to boston. Ideal garage, somerville MA identified the problem. The attachment of engine to engine blocked has failed. The engine was attached on left side and angled downwards, making 5th and reverse unattainable. This is the second Jeep Cherokee, same year that he had seen in a week - same problem. This needs to be looked into, this car has low mileage, is under 80,000 miles. Please investigate and alert makers.ar
Approx. 6 months after purchasing the vehicle noticed when hitting a slight bump in the road the engine would jump. Not a constant problem but happens at unexpected times. At first thought it might be transmission but after tech from dealer checked seemed to think might be coil distributor and plug wires and clean throttle body. Problem continued then was told was pick up plate in transaxel. Miss in engine continued and started getting worse. Put in shop again, dealership said they replaced the brain in the computer and replaced 3 motor mounts and said this would cure the problem. After that have had to have in shop at least once a month with miss getting worse and occuring on accleration. Vehicle jumps up to 10 to 12 times when this occurs. Dealership now says does not know what is wrong and is going through the wiring. A flight recorder was hooked up and dealership said the reading was clean even though vehicle malfuncioned 3 times. Also A/C keeps malfunctioning and blowing warm air. Dealership said was a loose wire but problem still occurs.
