I purchased this Jeep and not even a month after having it cut off with driving down the road. It will say I have no gas and the tank will be full. At times it would start other times it had to be towed (3 times in fact). This has happened 5 or 6 times at all different speeds. I took it to a dealership $450 later still had the problem. This is very scary for the Jeep to shut off while driving. I have two small children. I am wondering how is there not recall for this. As I have read clearly this is not just my Jeep. This is a huge safety concern. Another thing I also notice I can hit a bump then it beeps and tells me my hood is open. Which it is not. I love my Jeep but cant enjoy it bc scared that it will cut off at anytime.
Was removing rear hitch so I could repaint it and noticed that my gas tank shield was rotted and gas was leaking above shield so I removed the rotted shield and found leak.it was caused by dirt and road grime getting in above where shield was rotted.thank god I caught it before shield started to fall and spark against road.come to find out that shield is the only thing holding gas tank in vehicle which I believe is totally a hazard for all Grand Cherokee owners from 1999-2004 at least.I went online and found out this was a major defect in all from 1993-2004 and yet no recalls.there have been many fires from this and I believe it should be looked at.mine at present just sits in yard as they want 400 hundred for shield and 400 hundred or more for tank.all junkyards tell me that they are all rotted and so they have none to sell.all junkyards tell me the same so I have no idea what to do yet.I could see this if my Jeep was not road worthy but there is no rust on it and it runs great.
I'm uncertain of time of incident. The driver that hit me blew a stop sign and crashed into my rear driver side which caused my truck to do a complete 360 hitting 3 cars while I was spinning.
My 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited w/42,000 miles. Yes. Not a typo. 42,000, orignal owner & "scared to death" to drive this SUV. I have alot of the already problems, that have been reported. Had to pay many, w/my own cash. This SUV schould have came in 1 color "lemon yellow". it is an accident watng to happen. The recent problem is now I have no A/C-heat or defroster. Ths is due, to failure of the automatic temp control to work. I T started 1st by intermittently working, till now not working at all, this is just 1 more, to the list, of many other problems. I don't think that it is an coincidence that all my issue have happenned, almost exactly, in the order, of all the other complaints. I can't undestand how a company can get away w/this. This new problem can cost up to $2000, if it is, like previous reported problems, happens to be the "blend doors". as a handicapped driver I drive less than 4,000 miles a year. This is the only auto I drive, thus the many, many probs have yet to raise thier head. I have read almost all complaints(too many to read) this SUV schould be a "total recall, I have never heard more complaints & problems, in my life, for any automobile. This SUV schould be studied & reseached, on "how not to build an automobile. Just read the many complaints here & on the internet. We are not making this stuff up. I don't know how they stayed in business as long as they did. We, the taxpayers, bailed them out. Who is bailing out all the owners, of this "death-trap"" if that is not absurd enuff, many problems could have been repaired, by Jeep & still can. What is the purpose, of nhsta, if not to intervene? you have all the complaints. Hundreds of them. You have them posted, yet, we taxpayers/owners safety, has been at risk ever since this SUV was driven out of the showroom. How did you not make a recall on the rotor/brakes issue which was reported at 3,000 miles? I am so frustrated. Is braking problems not a safety issue" please, help us!

Within four years approximately 8,000-10,000 miles both front brake rotors had to be turned twice and then replaced. Also, both front calipers had to be replaced. This causes vehicle to vibrate and make a grinding noise when braking. Dealer and manufacturer were notified, and were unable to locate the cause. The brakes pulsated while driving. The dash vent did not work, and the air only worked through the defrost. The consumer stated the front end of the vehicle felt loose, the dealer discovered the ball joints needed to be replaced. The driver side rear quarter panel was loose
