Exhaust manifold gasket over heated and burned up in turn had caused over heating in the torque converter. This led to transmission failure. Keyless entry lock had malfunction also.

problem #1

Dec 072002

Grand Cherokee

  • Automatic transmission
  • 52,806 miles
On December 7, 2002 my family and I (including my 2 1/2 year old daughter) were driving down the New Jersey turnpike and our 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee caught fire. A state trooper aided us in putting the fire out and we had the vehicle towed off of the interstate. Upon our return home that evening we discovered a daimler Chrysler recall notice (recall: B06) in the mail stating that a defect in the exhaust manifold may result in and underhood fire. Daimler Chrysler has since informed us that because the vehicle is over 3 years old they will not reimburse us for the costs of repair or provide an explanation as to how or why the fire ocurred.
