Owners have filed 71 complaints
about the 1996 Jeep Laredo with NHTSA between 1997 and 2014.
The largest single group is the transmission & drivetrain.
Across this model's run it ranks 4 of 12 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 58
Against the median year of the Jeep Laredo. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 95
18.3% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 0
0% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all
complaints include one.
75,000 – 99,999 miles

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE (1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE) OFTEN STALLS IN TRAFFIC. IT FAILS AT ANY SPEED, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IDLING OR IN MOTION. IT SOMETIMES TAKES 15+ MINUTES FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART. IT HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR EVEN IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DIAGNOSES OF THE PROBLEM AND MANY PHANTOM PROBLEMS REPAIRED WITH NEW PARTS INSTALLED, THE LATEST BY THE DEALER IN HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA WHO JUST REPLACED THE CONNECTORS ON THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS. IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, NOW THEY WANT ME TO POUR ANOTHER $500+ DOLLAR INTO REPAIRING THE VEHICLE SIGHTING THE PCM AS THE ??PROBLEM??. MY CURRENT BILL IS NOW AT $1,200; ADD THE POWER CONTROL MODULE (PCM) AND NOW THE REPAIR COST IS MORE THAN THE CURRENT VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. REALIZING THEY ARE ONLY THE DEALER I CONTACTED THE JEEP CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1 877 426 5337 AND WAS BLOWN OFF BY THE JEEP SPECIALIST [XXX] (HE HAD BEEN TRAINED TO BE APOLOGETIC THOUGH). I WAS PROMISED HELP IN A PREVIOUS CONVERSATION WITH [XXX] BUT WAS GIVEN NO HOPE OF ASSISTANCE IN MY LATEST CONTACT WITH [XXX] WHICH WAS 8/23/13. I ASKED IF I COULD SPEAK WITH SOMEONE IN A HIGHER POSITION ACCORDING TO [XXX] HE WAS THE DECISION MAKER. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF THIS AND ALL JEEP BRAND VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR LIFE THREATENING PROBLEMS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ENGINE
ENGINE STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. CAR WILL BE OPERATING FINE, ENGINE TOTALLY CUTS OUT. NO POWER WHATSOEVER. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS HAS BEEN A FAIRLY REGULAR PROBLEM ON JEEPS OF THIS ERA (1996 - HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF SOME OTHER YEARS). THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL, DEALERSHIPS DENY RESPONSIBILITY. CODE HAS INDICATED BAD COIL - HAVE REPLACED COIL, SAME PROBLEM. ANECDOTAL REPORTS THAT PCM BOARD APPEARS TO BE SHORTING OR OTHERWISE AFFECTED BY TOO LONG SCREWS, SUGGESTION TO REPLACE WITH SHORTER SCREWS OR PLACE WASHERS TO PREVENT POTENTIAL CONTACT TO BOARD. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE WORKED FOR AT LEAST A BRIEF TIME FOR MANY, MYSELF INCLUDED, THEN PROBLEM RECURS. OTHERS SUGGEST THIS IS INDICATION THAT CIRCUIT BOARD IS CRACKED, THUS SCREW CONTACT RESULTS IN INTERMITTENT DISCONNECT AND FAILURE. VERY MUCH WHAT HAPPENS. STALLS, THEN MAY START AND RUN FINE FOR A LITTLE BIT, THEN WILL STALL AGAIN. NO WARNING -CAN BE GOING FREEWAY SPEED AND IT WILL SUDDENLY STALL, THUS LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES.... VERY DANGEROUS. ALL INDICATIONS ARE A VERY BAD PCM DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING THAT RECURRED OVER SEVERAL YEARS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE NUMBER E22 ON OCTOBER 30, 2007. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. AFTER OBSERVING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE INCORRECT PART WAS PLACED ON THE VEHICLE AND POSITIONED IN AN UNSAFE MANNER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPOSITION THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO AVOID MAKING CONTACT WITH THE WIRES NEAR THE OXYGEN SENSOR; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT IT WAS TOO DIFFICULT TO MOVE IT AND CHOSE TO LOWER IT BY A 1/2 INCH. THE CONTACT IS AWARE THAT THE TEMPERATURE FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAN REACH TO 600 DEGREES. THE CONTACTS RECEIPT HAS THE CORRECT PART NUMBER, 5083054AD; HOWEVER, THAT PART NUMBER DOESN'T MATCH THE ONE ON THE VEHICLE. THE PART # ON HIS VEHICLE PER SPECIFICATIONS ON HIS VEHICLE IS #9.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWN A 96 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO IT BEGAN TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. THE JEEP HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OFF AND ON FOR THESE 6 WEEKS SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $600 TRYING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM, THEN I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SO I TOOK JEEP TO LOCAL DEALER TO GET REPAIR DONE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY ARE "95 % SURE" THAT THE CONVERTER IS THE PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP CUTTING OFF. NOW THE COMPLAINT, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX MY JEEP. DEALER TELLS ME HE CAN ONLY ORDER ONE PART A WEEK AND HE'S NOT SURE THAT ONE IS GOING TO COME IN. DEALER TELLS ME TO CALL CHRYSLER. WHEN I CALL CHRYSLER THEY TELL ME TO CALL OTHER LOCAL DEALERS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A PART, WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK THEIR ANSWER IS? YEAH, I DON'T HAVE ONE. MY JEEP IS NOT DRIVABLE AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. LUCKILY, SO FAR, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS. TWO CLOSE CALLS, ONE NEARLY A HEAD ON COLLISION,BUT NO ACCIDENTS YET. CAN YOU HELP OR DIRECT ME TO SOMEONE WHO CAN. THANKS JOE FITZGERALD.
