Our 1999 Grand Cherokee has been experiencing a grinding or thumping sound when turning left. This has just started happening in the past 2 months and doesn't happen when turning right. A loud roar on an initial start up has been happening since the vehicle was new. The clutch fan was replaced once but that didn't help. When this loud roar occurs, the vehicle seems like it is running in low gear. After a few blocks the sound goes away.

Torque converter was replaced, consumer states that a noise is in the transmission after driving a while. Engine surges while driving at 55 mph and above.

This vehicle has many/many inherent problems, it has an enging problem that causes the engine to stop running. We are told that they dont know what the problem is but would like to put co Pilot in the car to log a code when the problem occurs, however we have been told that they have had this problem on other cars and have not been able to have the co Pilot log in any error codes. So they bought the car back from the owners. It would take quite some time for us to list all of the inherent problems that all these new Jeep have 1999 0R 2000 models. If you could go to the site on the net and type in 4X44U you will be astounded at all the frustrated folks nation wide. The car also has many drivetrain problems to many to list, it is overwhelming. Please help us, we worked hard for that $380 dollars we gave to Chrysler and they are just putting it back on us, the customer's. thank you very much. Ken and barb davis.

Idle goes up and down at stop. Idle goes up and Jeep will gain speed without foot on gas. Idle goes up and Jeep will gain speed in reverse. Idle "burps" at stop and Jeep jumps like it was hit from behind. Rear end whines while traveling and get louder till 75mph then mostly subsides. Transmission was replaced ( for no reason we could tell) to stop whine. Whine continues in the rear end. Dealer states "normal". steering wheel shakes on extreme left or right turns forward or reverse until transmission was replaced. Dealer stated shaking was normal. Jeep has 2000 miles.

4 wheel drive quadra-drive system exhibits grinding and severe shaking when turning right or left. Has been in to dealer for service 2X since purchase on 1/11/99. Service manager stated he has 3 other cars with same quadra-drive system exhibiting similar problems. Chrusler service bulletin states to replace oil in transfer case with special oil with additive from Chrysler. Did this 1/29/99, had no effect on problem.
