This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
: the contact stated while depressing the brake pedal to slow to a stop or while stopped, the vehicle surged forward. This occurred intermittently. It was driven to the dealer who determined a switch on the air conditioner caused the vehicle to idle improperly. The switch was replaced.
The air conditioner housing leaks to the interior, under the carpet. The dealership suggested a quick that didn't work the body shop says this is a common problem that would be expensive. The dealership then said if the quickfix didn't work, they would need to replace the housing, which would require removing the entire dash: Over $600 to complete the job. If this is a common problem, Jeep should have recalled it a long time ago and fixed it.
Evaporator leaks into car. Mechanic says its a bad design and I need to bring it in every 6 months or so which is what I have done the past two years I've owned this car. Despite repalcing evaporator core three times, mechanic says design of drain into the vehicle frame cause it to continuously block up. There is nothing that can be done to permanently fix this issue. The smell from the water that leaks into the car, passenger rear seat floor board, is horrendous. My daughter sits here, and is having allergic reactions to it. I use this car for business and cannot seat my passengers in it when it is leaking. It is extremely expesive and time-consuming to have the dash taken apart every 6 months to clean the evaporator case or replace the core.
Please contact me reference the air conditioning A/C unit in my 1995 Grand Cherokee Jeep. I'm totally frustrated with the service and responses I've received from daimler Chrysler and the local dealership referencing the A/C. the A/C not working on a 500 mile plus trip (one way) can cause undo stress on family, especially one with young kids and a pregnant wife. When an authorized automobile dealership repairs your vehicle, you feel somewhat confident. I cannot place all the blame on the dealership as this has been a continuing problem and can probably be labled as a manufaturer's defect.please contact me and advise me on courses of action as daimler Chrysler and the local dealership (don phillips) are not interested in providing any assistance.
Air conditioner would leak freon onto engine. Have taken to dealership for repair of leak. Air conditioner duct tube fell out of position at one point onto drivers foot, this caused some loss of control, however consumer was able to regain control.
Air conditioner was not working, air was blowing, but not cooling. Vehicle was taken to a Jeep dealer, and evaporator was leaking. Dealer said it was a common problem in Jeep. They recognized the design flaw, but will not cover it. Consumer would have to pay $629.
Many of the problems I have had with this vehicle could have caused a fatal crash. There are many failures apparently not being addressed by Chrysler. Jeep vehicles should be sold along with legal representation. The list of problems I have encountered so far are as follows: Complete automatic transmission, lf axle, viscous coupler in transfer case--big $$, complete A/C system, cruise control, air bag sensor, speedometer assy.+ the recalls as of date--fr. Brake rotors, shift interlock--very unsatisfied 1st time Jeep owner.
Took vehicle to anchor Jeep to fix several times, never completely fixed--still blew hot air--later found out it needed everything--compressor, evaporator, condenser, lines, etc. --of course by this time warranty was out.
A/C evaporator drain blockage. Caused 1/2" water to overflow on the passenger side floorboard. Both seats had to be taken out and carpet taken up in order to dry out.
Front drive shaft cv failed twice. Ac evaporator coil failed. Power antenna failed. Rear wiper motor failed. Radiator failed. Passenger power window failed. Front steering shock failed. Transmission oil colling lines leaked. Battery failed. Trailer tow receptacle failed. Rough idle. All occurred under 56000 miles.
