IN FEBRUARY OF 1998 WE RECEIVED A LETTER DATED FEBRUARY 19, 1998. THE LETTER DESCRIBED A POSSIBILITY OF AN INACCURATE FUEL GUAGE DUE TO A FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD TO WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION FROM THE FACTORY. NOTIFICATION NEVER CAME. WE CHECKED ON OTHER OCCASIONS BY PHONE OR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE. WE WERE TOLD NOTHING. ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONE RECENTLY OUR VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FOR A NO START CONDITION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED IT WAS FOUND TO BE OUT OF FUEL (ON BOTH OCCASIONS). WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RECTIFIED AND WAS TOLD OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN # (97V194000). WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WERE TOLD IN SO MANY WORDS "SORRY WE CAN NOT HELP". I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE RECEIVED THE LETTER IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND SECONDLY WHY THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE LETTER AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE RECALL BULLETIN SAYS IT WILL DO.*AK

PASSENGER'S MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS SHEARING OFF IN ENGINE BLOCK DURING NORMAL USE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THE 4.0L ENGINE & CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS & HAS COME UP W/ A FIX CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGERIOUS CONDITION & IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED THIS WAY. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR SAYING IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE ONLY REASON THIS FAILURE IS ACCURRING IS BECAUSE THE BOLTS ARE PROBABLY BEING OVER TORQUED OR OF POOR GRADE. PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.*AK

THE HORN ON MY 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STOPPED WORKING A YEAR AGO, AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO WARN OTHERS OF SAFETY ISSUES. MECHANICS TELL ME THE HORN "BUTTON" IS EMBEDDED IN THE SAFETY AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE, COSTLY AIRBAG. THAT CAN BE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I BELIEVE THAT HORN SWITCH REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE THE SWITCH , WHICH REQUIRED REPLACING THE AIR BAG. OR, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ADD A SUPPLEMENTAL SWITCH ON THE DASH TO CONTROL THE HORN.

| VIN: | 1J4GZ58S0VC**** |
THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SHORTS OUT AND CAUSES AN ONSET OF PROBLEMS FROM WRONG AIR/FUEL RATIO TO SHUTTING OFF CAR POWER WHILE IN DRIVE AND/OR STATIONARY. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON ME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A CONSTANT SPEED, THEN SUDDENLY I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND WAS NEARLY HIT BY AN 18-WHEELER. THIS SHORT IN THE ECM EVEN CAUSED BACKFIRE IN MY MUFFLER AND FLOODED MUFFLER WITH GAS. I HAVE BECOME AWARE OF THIS ON MANY JEEPS FROM 1993-1997. WAS THIS A RECALL AT ONE POINT? ALSO, THE VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER DOES NOT WORK, THIS ALSO IS COMMON. ADDITIONALLY, THE EVAP CANISTER FITTINGS HAVE JUST DETERIORATED, CAUSING THE HOSES TO NOT GET A SECURE CONNECTION AND IMPROPER EMISSIONS.

VEHICLE HAS HARD STARTS AND FREQUENT HESITATION AND STALLING, AT ALL SPEEDS CITY STREET DRIVING AS WELL AS HIGHWAY DRIVING. I HAVE HAD A NEW DISTRIBUTOR CAP, ROTOR, PLUGS, WIRES, COIL, INSTALLED, YET SYMPTOMS PERSIST. SUDDEN DECELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. MY RESEARCH SUGGESTS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE XJ. I NARROWLY ESCAPED A CRASH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. JEEP OUGHT TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, YET THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REMEDY FOR OWNERS. I WOULD AT LEAST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. POSSIBLE REMEDIES (FROM MY RESEARCH) INCLUDE MULTIPLE PARTS AND MANY HOURS OF LABOR: O2 SENSOR, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, PLUGS, WIRES, CAP, ROTOR, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, ALTERNATOR, NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH, BALLAST RESISTOR, TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, TORQUE CONVERTOR, POWER CONTROL MODULE, TRANSMISSION CONTROL SOLENOID, ETC. WHAT IS CAUSING ALL OF THESE VEHICLES TO STALL DANGEROUSLY?

ENGINE STALL/SHUT OFF ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES/HR IN CENTER LANE OF A FIVE LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ON DIFFERENT DAYS. I'M ORIGINAL OWNER. HEAVY FAILURE ANALYSIS DONE. ALLEGE THAT JEEP CUT CORNERS THAT RISK DRIVER SAFETY. THEY USED AND MAY STILL BE USING CHEAP CHINESE MICROPROCESSOR CHIPS IN THEIR PROGRAM CONTROL MODULES (PCM). FRED BAILEY FATAL ACCIDENT IS TELLING. HIS JEEP SHUT DOWN ON A BRIDGE. PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK. TRACTOR TRAILER PLOWS INTO THE BACK OF THIS JEEP (LIKE MINE). THE GAS TANK EXPLODES AND HE DIES. WWW.DYINGJEEP.COM SHOWS A JEEP VIDEO ACTUALLY DOING THE STALL/DIE ROUTINE. WWW.JEEP FORUM.COM HAS LITERALLY THOUSANDS ON POSTS/THREADS BY ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED OWNER WHO HAVE EVEN MUCH NEWER JEEPS THAT DO THE SAME THING. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO KEEP MY JEEP IN WORKING CONDITION. IT IS WORTH ABOUT $3,000 IF IT WAS RELIABLE. I DID THE FUEL TANK RECALL. BROUGHT IN THE JEEP. IT ALREADY HAD A TOW PACKAGE INSTALLED. THEY KEEP THE JEEP FOR HOURS. LIKELY DID NOTHING TO IT UNDER THE RECALL. DIDN'T GIVE ME $100 GIFT CARD. EDMONDS VALUE OF MY CAR WITH 247,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IS LESS THAN $1,000. EVEN IF I GOT THE EXTRA $1,000 RECALL CREDIT, IT MEANS I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER LOW QUALITY VEHICLE FROM A BRAND I DO NOT TRUST. IN SHORT, JEEP NEEDS TO MAKE NEW PROGRAM CONTROL MODULES AVAILABLE AGAIN AND AT AFFORDABLE COST. THEY OWE SAFETY TO ALL JEEP OWNERS. SHAME ON THEM AND GOOD ON YOU FOR FINING THEM $105 MILLION. THERE IS POTENTIAL CAUSE TO FINE THEM EVEN MORE FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS STALL/DIE ISSUE. THE STALL LEADS TO THE REAR END COLLISION AS WE CAN EASILY DEDUCE FROM THE FRED BAILEY EVENT. NO TIME TO REACT TO THE STALL... THEN BOOM. I BELIEVE JEEP HAS HIDDEN INFORMATION ABOUT THESE EVENTS FROM YOU. THE PROBLEM IS NO SECRET TO OWNERS FROM 1992 ON.

I HAVE A 1997 JEEP WITH 150,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES WITH IT STALLING OUT FOR NO REASON. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR. IT STARTED ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF THE BLUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP OVER 20 TIMES TO TRY AND GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE EVEN KEPT IT OVER NIGHT AND HAD IT ON MACHINES TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT STALLS AND AM NOT ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. I HAVE REPLACE SENSORS, FUEL FILTER, BATTERY, NOT TO MENTION SO MANY OTHER PARTS AND NOTHING IS STOPPING IT FROM STALLING OUT FOR NO REASON. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY AND I LOVE MY JEEP BUT I AM REAL NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT THAT I MIGHT GO TO TURN AND THE JEEP WILL STALL WHILE TURNING A CORNER AND GET T-BONED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. OR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL SPUTTER AND STALL OUT. I HAVE READ THAT "MANY" JEEPS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FROM THE SAFETY CAR SITE LOOK INTO THIS AS THERE WILL BE A FAMILY IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE DRIVING AND THE PROBLEM COULD OCCURE AND CAUSE A DIASTER IN SOMEONES LIFE. I HAVE DRIVEN IN DIFFERANT ARES ON THE ROAD, HIGHWAY, RESIDENTIAL AREAS, GOING THE SPEED LIMIT, AND ALSO GOING 15 MILES AN HOUR AND IT WIL STALL OUT. I HAVE AGAIN SEEN SO MANY POSTING REGARDING THIS ISSUE SO THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOME KIND OF A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THESE JEEPS ...PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

I WENT IN FOR THE RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL TANK ISSUE (IN REAR END COLLISIONS) - ON SEPTEMBER 22 2015. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE 4-6 WEEKS IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE MANDATED 100 DOLLAR GIFT CARD. HOWEVER, AS OF NOVEMBER 18TH 2015 I HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT. WHEN I'VE CALLED, I KEEP BEING TOLD THAT THE RESPONSE TO THE GIFT CARD WAS MORE THAN CHRYSLER WAS ANTICIPATING AND THAT IT COULD BE SEVERAL MORE WEEKS BEFORE IT'S EVEN MAILED OUT. FURTHERMORE, NOBODY ON THE RECALL RESOLUTION TEAM HAS ANY INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN THE GIFT CARDS WILL BE MAILED OUT, OR WHEN THEY WILL BE RECEIVED. HOWEVER, THEY KEEP TELLING CUSTOMERS "4-6 WEEKS".

IS IT COMMON FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR CONTROL MODULE TO GET HOT WHEN IN USE. THE BLOWER MOTOR STOP WORKING, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE RESISTOR THAT HAS GONE BAD, BR TESTING THE CONTINUITY STILL OK, PLUGS, WIRES OK. BUT THIS WAS WHAT I DID. I DIRECTLY HOOKED THE BLOWER MOTOR TO THE BATTERY AND IT KICKED OFF, I THEN RECONNECTED THE PLUG ....TO THE BLOWER MOTOR BACK (THE RESISTOR MODULE STILL PLUGGED IN) AND TURN ON THE A/C AGAIN. IT CAME ON ALRIGHT AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, BUT THE UNIT (RESISTOR) BECAME SO HOT TO TOUCH.
