Grand Cherokee 4WD 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission

Heater hose jammed accelerator linkage causing runaway vehicle at very high speed...shifted into neutral to avoid collision...brakes were insufficient to stop the vehicle as jamming caused engine RPM's to go very high [approx. 5000 RPM].

Grand Cherokee 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 110,000 miles
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. Air conditioning system only blows hot air. I have had it looked at two different times. They check the system and fill all the fluids, but it still doesn't work.
