I am coming home driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee 1999 from my mechanic in queens village after he change the map sensor and relay to fix the stalling problem on the Jeep. Driving on grand central parkway at the speed of 55mph, I was lucky to have driven my car and be able to come to inner roads when my car died(stalls) again in the middle of the traffic. After 30min, the car starts again after a numerous tries then stops after 500ft and it didn't start until after 15min of standing by in the middle of traffic again. It's just so frustrating when this happens because my car is in very good shape and it's stalling my engine, unbearable problem because I am afraid to drive my car on a highway or expressway.

Intermittent stalling problem when moving, very dangerous, about rear ended numerous times. Dealer can not fix, just throw money at it in parts hoping to fix the problem. This needs to be addressed by Jeep before someone is killed!!!!!!!!

Went out shopping. Drove 15 minutes from home. Car running at normal operating temps. Went into store for 10 minutes, on return car would not start. Would crank and turn over, but not fully start. After letting sit for 1 hour, the car started with no other action. While trying to start, all other functions worked ok. Radio. A/C. headlamps. Etc. Car also starting stalling after the "no-start" issue began. Stalled at any temp, any speed, highway, around town. Car stalls, but still have lights, flashers etc.

Auto had 40000+ miles when I bought it from my brother. I had it only a few months when it stalled on the interstate. It would not start until I sat for a little while. I am capable of overcoming auto trouble so I didn't think much about this incident due to the fact that I have been a mechanic for many years now. Then it began to stall in heavy traffic and sometimes would start again and other times after waiting several minutes. I replaced the crank sensor, in-tank fuel pump and filter. It ran okay for a while but began to hard start and stall again about 2 mos. Ago. Then 2 days ago it stalled something like 25 times coming home from the hospital. Since then I have been on the internet reading the blogs about this problem and if everyone that has this issue would email you, your computers would shut down. It is unbelievable that the manufacturer is just replacing the expensive parts at random, taking the money and not fixing the problem. These people, myself included, are begging for a solution to a problem with a very nice automobile made in America by skilled top dollar union labor. It is getting close to scam epidemic. My car is sitting in my garage not fixed because there are about ten different things in the electrical and fuel system that can cause these symptoms. I am a disabled veteran and cannot afford to go down that eliminating process. My doctor doesn't do me that way and I won't allow the manufacturer to do it either.

My truck back lights doesn't work when I turn my lights on. I called the dealership and they stated that it will cost $1000 to fix because it is an electrical problem. I really like my truck and would love for to keep it but I can not drive it at night. I have seen to many cars to explain in the atlanta area that are experiencing the same problems, and I do not think that it is fair that we pay our money for these cars and the dealer doesn't inform to us that there needs to be a recall on our vehicles and fix them, my husband has a Ford truck and when they recalled something on his truck and they called him and sent him a letter and he took his truck and they fixed it with no problems I don't understand why it can't be the same way with Jeep. Please if you can help please do.

My 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited just started having a problem with the air bag light and chime when steering wheel is turned. And it sounds like a very common problem with many people. This problem may or may not have caused an injury but what is it going to take to keep your loyal Jeep customers from thinking that this company does not care about it customers safety! this safety problem should be recalled and done very soon before there are injuries or loyal customers deaths from a simple fix.

When I turned on the heat one fall day I got hot air on the driver side and cold air on the passenger side. It doesn't matter whether I select defrost, floor, or mid-level vents.also I had the temperature settings on high. I have not repaired this yet, it is a safety issue due to difficulty defrosting the windshield. The dealership said it will be very costly. It is not intermittent because it is always failed.

I have a 1999 Grand Cherokee, the headlights flash on and off when the car is parked and shut off.

- Rochester, MA, USA

Ac blend doors don't work causing my heat/ac to only work on have the car at a time. In the winter my defroster is only able to defrost half my windshield and the other side has ice cold air coming out the vent witch makes it unable to defrost and causes me to drive with half a defrosted windshield. So half the car gets heat the other half gets ac all winter long no matter what setting you put the system on, this will eventually cause a accident if not addressed.

Noise coming from the temperature controller in the center dash area even after the key has been removed. When running heater is on full on both sides with very low heat coming out on one side with cold air on the other. I have been told this will cost up to $1500 to fix at the dealer with some reports saying it "may" need to be done again after 50-60 thousand miles. Also, blower motor controller located by the blower starts burning smell!! when it auto the control board failed and then blower quit. The motor must be replaced along with a wiring harness repair kit!!!! please tell me why no recall on this. It is such an issue the parts needed were on back order!!

I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. I have had the vehicle since it had 29,000 miles and it now has approx. 81,000. I have replaced three of the five locking mechanisms on the vehicle and now have two more that need replacing. This is not acceptable. The door locks allow for me to open the corresponding door or rear hatch sometimes but most of the time do not allow me to open the door or rear tailgate at all. When the rear tailgate lock is allowing for me to open the rear tailgate it will not lock at all. My vehicle has sat in my driveway every night without anyway for me to lock it. When it is stuck in the locked position it will not open because there is no way for me to manually open the rear tailgate. When the driver side lock went out it locked me out of the vehicle because there is some type of electrical drain on the vehicle as well, the key less entry fob could obviously not unlock the other doors. This is just one of the frustrating issues that I have had with the locking mechanisms on my vehicle. I was told by the dealership that it would cost approx. $250 per door in locking mechanisms alone to get replaced this time! I am pissed off and at a loss. I have replaced these locks before and it should never be an issue for me the entire life that I own this vehicle, especially not this many times. I may have the previously repaired items for review. Please help me find some type of solution to this problem since I am out of money and out of patience. Thank you.

The contact owns a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving between 30 and 50 mph, the vehicle shut off in the middle of the road without warning. The contact almost crashed at the time of the failure and lost control of the vehicle before pulling off to the shoulder. The vehicle would not restart immediately most times, but would start approximately three to four minutes later. The dealer could not determine the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000. Updated 11/17/08 the consumer believed the problem was electrical. Updated 11/24/08.

Then she smelled smoke when the heat was on, and was afraid that vehicle may catch on fire. This only occurred when the heat was on high. The blower motor and the harness have been replaced. The dealer replaced the blower motor resistor. Update 04/30/07

I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee, it have so many problems and not safe to drive, and it could not start. Please investigate and help. Thanks.

Vehicles dies under any circumstances...speeding on the highway at 75 mph, idling at a stop sign, driving in town at 35 mph, hot weather, cold weather, rain, sun and snow. It sometimes starts right up again, sometimes takes an hour - occasionally 5-10 hours before it will restart. Instrument panel simply goes dead, engine stops, no warning. This has nearly caused accidents 15-20 times. Towed 8 times...waited it out the rest. Dealer will not help unless they can duplicate problem - cannot duplicate an intermittent problem, so there 'is no problem'. personal mechanic identified the problem as the computer, tried to order one from Jeep several times, always told it is on backorder. Interesting... back ordered part for 'no problem'. the computer was apparently replaced just before I purchased the car.

The taillight and brake lights on our 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee burn out every 2 months. The light holder for the bulbs melts due to the heat from the bulbs and after replacing the bulbs four times the holder has melted enough that there is no contact with the bulbs thus no taillights or brake lights. I have noticed this problem with several of the same models around town. The dealer is willing to sell a new light fixture for $150 plus labor. If I pay this just to have the same problem happen again within a year this is not right. Today I read where GM recalled 1mil SUV for this very problem.

Whenever the headlights were in use the switch failed to work properly for either turning the headlights on or off. The head lights would also flash on and off intermittently while driving. This caused poor visibility for the driver. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the technician was unable to resolve the electrical problem.
