1999 Jeep Cherokee problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED BUT CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO THE PARK POSITION TO GET THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE HALT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 186,000.”

“1ST ISSUE IS THE SEAT BELT BUCKLES ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DISENGAGE. THEY HANG UP SO BAD OUR 10 YR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER NEEDS HELP TO REMOVE THE BELT. THE BELT FOR THE DRIVER HAS SAME ISSUE TO WHERE IT IS EVEN DIFFICULT FOR AN ADULT TO GET IT TO UNLATCH. 2ND ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD WHEN COLD. WHEN IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A FEW MILES IT SHIFTS NORMAL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS HAVE. IT IS A NOTED PROBLEM IN OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE 42RE TRANSMISSION. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED SINCE IT IS SO WIDE SPREAD.”
