While driving on the interstate highway at about 65 to 75 mph vehicle began to shake in the front end so severely we had to slow completely down and pull to the side of the road and to a stop completely. the jeep IS not safe to drive and I have read of other incidents that they have named it the death wobble. it could have made us flip over and we could have died in a roll over. this has happened to us before and we thought it was the shocks, but that has evidently not fixed the problem. it appears from what we read and have experienced that this IS a problem in the front end and needs to be addressed by the manufacturer.

We bought an imported right-hand drive jeep from postal pete, galena il, for a mail route. this IS not safety maybe: 1. The oil pressure guage, instead of being repaired in the dash, they added an auxillary oil gauge below the dash, which makes it impossible to safely look at the gauge. 2. The odometer/speedometer unit doesn't measure correctly I think. 3. The lights on the dash & console don't work. because of the takata recalls, I looked at your site. when we complained with the dealer their attitude was tough you paid for it. also the rear end was bad. My husband went back before he left il for fl. they excused it saying it was tires. my husband knew they were lying (he does work on vehicles for us). we ended up having to replace the rear end. this complaint IS more about the importer postal pete than it IS about the vehicle. they should not be allowed to do this to customers. also they required a check in advance, thereby making it so we could not refuse the vehicle because they had our money. not nice people. Dis-honesty. I retired dec. 2011. I don't remember purchase date. You require something. picked up 11/02/10 reg. 12/07/2010 thank you. alicia

While driving at aprox. 40-45 mph, the jeep would start to shudder. Eventually it would shut off. The jeep would then crank but not start. I had this problem happen for about four times. Three of the times the jeep was towed to a repair shop. Twice the pcm unit was replaced and twice the crank position sensor was also replaced. The last repair was 1 month and a half ago. Two days ago, the jeep stalled again down the road. I was traveling with my wife and children. We almost lost our lives. A 16 wheeler almost collided with us due that I could barely manipulate the jeep because it turned off on me. I tried to do some visual inspections under the hood. I had one of my sons to wiggle the pcm (computer) while I cranked the starting switch. At one point the jeep managed to start again. Then it stalled the moment my son stopped wiggling the pcm. I had another tow truck pick up the jeep and send it back to the mechanic. Chrysler has not corrected this issue on the pcm and perhaps might not do it until one day someone gets seriously hurt. Videos on youtube show other jeep cherokee owners having the same problem 1996-2001.

Vehicle began stalling when coming to an abrupt stop or being jarred by a bump or pot hole. Gradually progressed to randomly stalling when applying any pressure to brakes or any slight jarring. All power IS lost at this time along with any control of steering and accelerating until vehicle IS turned on again. Recently vehicle repeatedly and intermittently stalls without any pattern during acceleration or deceleration at any speed without any braking or jarring. It then catches on its own and regains power. *tr

While leaving home from work, the vehicle started to shutter and fail. I managed to get home at a speed of 40mph since I noticed that at a higher speed, the vehicle would try to stall. The next day I tried to turn on the vehicle but it would not turn on. I called a certified mechanic and received instructions thru cell phone to shake a bit the cables to computer components and cables to distributor components. The vehicle turned on but with problems. I managed to drive to mechanic shop where the cherokee was left for testing and repairs. The diagnostics showed a faulty computer. The computer was replaced. About three months later, the vehicle stalled again at a cross road and turned off. A truck nearly struck me because I couldn't get out on time. The mechanic had to show up at the site and had some problems starting the cherokee. The diagnostics, another blown computer. The mechanic ordered another computer with upgrade (had to wait about a month) original crank shaft sensor was added. All seemed to work well until yesterday oct/2/2013 when I went out for a ride with my son and the cherokee stalled and turned off. The same symptoms as before. I have spent about $1,000.00 trying to get my jeep cherokee to run properly and now I'm afraid to take it out to the street. I have a family of 4 and I worry that the cherokee would fail me by stalling again at a crossroad causing a fatal accident to me or my family because of this electrical failure. All cables were checked for shorts but nothing solves the problem. I did some recall search but nothing official although some jeep grand cherokee users report the same problems for their 4.0L engine (my jeep cherokee IS also 4.0L) coincidence? I love my cherokee but feel that I can't rely anymore on it as for safety. Had it for about 6 years without problems the first 5 years. *tr

While driving to work at 4:30 am headlights went out, then came back on, several times, this IS the second time we have had this issue, we replaced the headlight switch about three months ago, and it appeared to rectify the problem now it has occurred again.

- Crash Related Fuel Tank Fires
ODI has completed an extensive analysis of rear crash fuel tank system integrity data for the subject Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Liberty vehicles (SVs).As of June 2013, ODI knew of 56 post-collision fatal fires, 28 non-fatal fires, and 6 fuel leak incidents (totaling 90 incidents, 75 fatalities and 58 injuries)…
ODI has completed an extensive analysis of rear crash fuel tank system integrity data for the subject Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Liberty vehicles (SVs).As of June 2013, ODI knew of 56 post-collision fatal fires, 28 non-fatal fires, and 6 fuel leak incidents (totaling 90 incidents, 75 fatalities and 58 injuries) involving the SVs.Based on this analysis, ODI issued a Recall Request Letter (RRL) on June 3, 2013 requesting that Chrysler recall the Grand Cherokee and Liberty vehicles due to the rate of fatal, non-fatal fire, and fuel leak incidents when compared to peer vehicles (compact and medium SUVs) built during the same time period.In the RRL, ODI described how the location of the aft-mounted fuel tank made the SVs vulnerable to rear impact crash fuel tank failures.During the analysis, besides the high speed/high severity crashes present in both the SV and peer vehicles, ODI observed a significant number of low and moderate speed rear impact crash related fires and leaks, particularly in the Liberty.The data also demonstrated that SVs originally equipped with towing hitch receivers (trailer hitches) appeared to be under-represented in rear-impact related fuel tank failures.In the RRL, ODI requested that Chrysler provide its response by June 18, 2013, otherwise NHTSA might proceed to an Initial Decision that the SVs contain a safety-related defect.Chrysler responded to the RRL on June 4, 2013 and vigorously disputed the tentative findings of the RRL.Among other things, Chrysler argued that the SVs had an overall safety record superior to their peers, met or exceeded all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) and only experienced fires in severe high energy rear impacts.Nonetheless, while continuing to maintain that the SVs did not contain a safety-related defect, Chrysler proposed a recall (13V-252) of approximately 2.5M (1.6M currently registered) model year (MY) 1993 - 1998 Grand Cherokee (ZJ) and MY 2002-2007 Liberty (KJ) vehicles on June 18, 2013.The recall remedy submitted by Chrysler would employ a hitch receiver assembly consisting of a steel cross-member behind the fuel tank with forward-projecting arms bolted to the frame rails on either side of the fuel tank.For the MY 1999 - 2004 Grand Cherokee, Chrysler indicated it would conduct a customer satisfaction campaign and inspect vehicles equipped with aftermarket tow hitch receivers, and if necessary, replace any such hitch receivers whose conditionmay increase the risk of fuel system failure in rear crashes.Examination of the available data established that the MY 1999 - 2004 Grand Cherokee did not pose the same magnitude of safety risk as the MY 1993 - 1998 Grand Cherokee and MY 2002-2007 Liberty, particularly in low and moderate speed rear impacts.Because the agency has concluded that the vehicles do not present an unreasonable risk to safety, ODI is closing its investigation of the MY 1999 - 2004 Grand Cherokee.Although it was not within the scope of the Petition initiating this investigation or the Preliminary Evaluation preceding this EA, ODI also examined the performance of the MY 1993 - 2001 Cherokee as part of this investigation.NHTSA's assessment of the available data for the Cherokee did not establish an unreasonable risk in comparison to peer vehicles.ODI does not approve proposed defect remedies.While offering to install hitch receiver assemblies on the MY 1993-1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002-2007 Liberty, Chrysler did not, in ODI's view, provide enough evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed remedy in rear impacts.The Complete Summary for this Closing Resume (EA12-005) can be seen by
