EQUIPMENT

I HEARD ITS COMMON IN A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FINE AND THEN THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WITH OUT ANY WARNING AND WONT START BACK UP FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR, BUT IT DIES ABOUT 2-5 MINUTES LATER! IT DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR WAITING TO TURN. IT HAS DIED WHEN TURNING A CORNER INTO TRAFFIC MAKING ME ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT MANY OF TIMES. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY MORE DO TO THE DANGER IT MAY CAUSE TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. IV TAKEN IT IN TO BE FIXED AN NO ONE CAN FIND WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT! I KNOW IT HAS A PROBLEM AND THE MORE I HEAR ABOUT IT SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS EVER OWNED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE, SO WHY CANT ANYONE PEN POINT IT..AND WHY HASN'T IT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF..

EQUIPMENT

MY 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4 KEEPS STALLING ALL THE TIME. ROUGH IDLE WHEN STARTED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME. ALSO, ALARM IS DEFECTIVE AND FLASHES THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND HONKS THE HORN ANYTIME ANY OF THE DOORS ARE OPENED OR CLOSED AND THE POWER LOCK BUTTON IS PUSHED TO LOCK OR UNLOCK. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOESN'T EVEN SHOW A READING AND THE FACTORY INFINITY GOLD CD RADIO TURNS ON BUT NO SOUND. MY JEEP HAS A WARRANTY ON IT RIGHT NOW AND THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2/25/06. I'VE HAD MY JEEP TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER WHERE I GOT IT, WHICH HAS ASE CERTIFIED TECHS, AND ALSO TO TWO AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERSHIPS WITH NO RESOLUTION TO ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS AND TO DATE HAVE BEEN CHARGED OVER $450.00 BETWEEN THE THREE DEALERSHIPS. I HAVE SENT NOW TWO E-MAILS TO THE CHRYSLER GROUP CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THE FIRST E-MAIL I RECEIVED BACK BROUGHT UP TWO RECALLS: #747 DISC BRAKE ROTORS #B02 FLOOR SHIFTER SECONDARY SYSTEM AND THE SECOND E-MAIL I GOT BACK FROM CHRYSLER STILL HAD NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE STALLING AND/OR ROUGH IDLE. THIS IS ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE AS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW BECAUSE OF DANGER TO ME OR OTHERS IF IT WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING, THE FINANCIAL DRAIN AND THE SHEER UNRELIABILITY. I WOULD LIKE A RESOLUTION TO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER

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.
