The horn on my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee stopped working a year ago, affecting my ability to warn others of safety issues. Mechanics tell me the horn "button" is embedded in the safety airbag in the steering wheel and can only be fixed by replacing the entire, costly airbag. That can be hundreds of dollars. I believe that horn switch replacement should be a recall item and the manufacturer should replace the switch, which required replacing the air bag. Or, the manufacturer should be required to add a supplemental switch on the dash to control the horn.

Vehicle stalls randomly while driving. Car can be going 70 and stall or just fail to move while still running then stall. This will happen randomly and sometimes will result in a check engine light which then goes out again and the car will run fine for days then happen again.

Ref: Recall N45 for rear structure reinforcement. I scheduled a 10:00 am appointment with cole Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Mazda-Fiat in san luis obispo about 3 weeks in advance. My wife and I drove to the appointment yesterday and were told that they would only need between an hour and 1 1/2 hours to do the inspection. Since we had to drive over 20 miles to the dealership, we waited in the waiting room. After an hour and a half, I inquired as to the status of the inspection. I was told that they hadn't even started work on the vehicle and that it would probably be afternoon before they would have someone available to do the work. Since had been assured both when making the appointment and again when showing up for the appointment that the inspection wouldn't take long, we asked her to contact with the service manager. My wife overheard the service manager tell our rep that she should tell customers that the vehicle should be dropped for an entire day (any warranty work, that is). It's pretty clear to us that the cole dealership could really care less about the customer in regards to recalls and/or warranty work (lowest priority) and we lost 1/2 day of time and gas to trying to take care of this. We asked to have the car brought to us since we were leaving. Our rep asked if we'd like to setup another date for the inspection and we said no! we wasted enough time and money and we won't be taking our Jeep in for the recall inspection to any Chrysler dealer.

1. came out of gear when in park and crashed sustaining $5000 dollars in damage. Had received a letter from daimler-Chrysler in 2002, however it was not dated stating the car could do this. No recalls were present at the time. They denied any problem when car crashed. Called an attorney who was a relative that told without a doubt (100%) the car would do this. He then called me back and stated he could not represent me because he represented daimler-Chrysler. He was hired by Chrysler after he bought a viper from them that was a lemon and he shoved it you know where and won. They realized what an outstanding attorney he was then hired him. Talk about family ethics. They finally installed the secondary detent system in 12/2008. I was told it was repaired. 2 the car is stalling at high speeds, during U turns, while at stop signs. It to dangerous to drive. Jeep keeps telling me they can not find anything on diagnostics. I was out of town 250 miles from home and they want me to drive an unsafe vehicle back to the. They have been rude, evasive and blaming me. After $500 there diagnostics showed nothing. It has been to 5 other mechanics and know one has been able to diagnose the problem. I now have a 1997 Grand Cherokee limited that is loaded that is dangerous and worth nothing. 3 if they insist on arbitration and a chance to fix it you will lose. It is worth your money to hire a lemon law attorney from the very beginning.

Took Jeep to dealer on Jan 22 07 for ABS light check. Was notified my dealer that there was a recall on my car for secondary detent system recall BO2. Dealer serviced detent recall malfunction. When I picked up the car the automatic shift lever would not go down to 1st and 2nd gear, it was being blocked by an internal obstacle under the shift council. Took car in next day around 11:30 am and service writer wanted to keep car overnight. Set appointment with him to bring it in next day Jan 24 07. Dealer advised me that my shifting bezel was broken and needed to be replaced for $95. I advised dealer that shifter worked fine when I brought it in and that they needed to fix whatever it is that they broke. Dealer replied that it was broke before I brought it in and working on the council caused things to shift and thus caused the obstacle. I arrived at the dealer and they said that if I had not brought in my car that it would still be working fine., dealer agreed with me but wants $95 to fix it.,.I declined the offer. Took car home and removed shifting council to find that red shift marker was no longer centered around the shift lever and a rubber washer was no longer centered around the shifter. Pulling the shifter back towards drive caused the shifter to be stuck at drive because the red shift marker bezel would not allow shifter to go any further and thus blocked shifter from going from 1st or 2nd gears. While driving the car in this condition the shifter would pop into neutral when a road bump was hit and thus I would loose power, thus an unsafe driving condition. Upon picking my car up on Jan 22 07 around 5 pm I was not advised that my shifter was not working properly or that I was driving off in a vehicle that now had an unsafe driving condition.

I purchased this 1997, Jeep Grand Cherokee from broadway Volkswagen on auto row in oakland ca. At the time the odometer read 48,080K. Two weeks ago the car stopped running while I was driving it. I had to have it towed to albera bros. Jeep/Chrysler dealership where I"ve taken the vehicle since I purchased it. I also purchased a warranty, for $1500 at the time that I purchase the vehicle, which was contained in the contract of the automobile installment payments. The warranty was to cover all repair that is cover for 72 months or 100K miles. I contacted the warranty company, warentech, who's headquarters are in Texas and was advised that they would have to send someone out to look at the car. Someone did come out look at the car and took pictures. After a few days I contacted warentech and was advised that they would have to review the information and would get back to me. After several more days I contacted warentech again. I was advised that they needed me fax them my maintenance records verifying that I had maintained the vehicle. I faxed warentech copies of all recent maintenance records. After two or three more days, I once again contacted warentech and was advised that I needed to send more maintenance records and if I didn't have anymore they would deny coverage for repair to the vehicle. I faxed over a total of 13 more records of maintenance verifying that oil changes as well as other maintenance records. That was two days ago and I"ve not heard anything from warentech since. I have already paid $125 dollars to have the car towed to the dealership and have paid another $140 for a rental car to get to and from work. I am very afraid that warentech is going to refuse to pay for the repairs they've already had almost 2-weeks and nothing has been done. I pay $546 a month car not via payroll deduction and have never missed a payment this for two years and I still owe over$18K for the car. I don't know what to do.

On 2 separate occasions engine repeatedly lost power at highway speed. First incident, engine check appeared & dealer replaced oxygen sensor. Second incident (2 weeks later) dealer unable to determine problem & still looking. Has never happened during city driving.
