2001 Jeep Cherokee power train problems

“THIS JEEP WILL RUN FINE, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO RED LIGHTS AND IDLE, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND NOT TURN ON AGAIN FOR ATLEAST 10 MINUTES. SPENT ABOUT 3,000 USD TO FIX AT MULTIPLE MECHANIC AND THE ISSUE REMAINS. WHY HAS JEEP NEVER TAKEN THE TIME TO RECALL THIS ISSUE AS IT CAN CAUSE THE LIVES OF MANY DRIVERS.”

“JEEP HAD THE DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE" MANY PARTS FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN 30,000 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AT SAFE SPEEDS. TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED AND ALIGNMENT WAS CORRECT. *TR”

“MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITH DIFFICULTY. I THEN PUT IN PARK AND WAS ABLE TO GET ENGINE STARTED AND DROVE BACK HOME. MY HUSBAND CHECKED OUT AND THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE BUMPED THE KEY SINCE I NEED THE SEAT SO CLOSE IN ORDER TO TOUCH THE PEDALS. I HEARD ON THE TV THERE WAS A RECALL ON MODELS 2005-2007. WHY NOT ON OLDER? IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER I MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE. *TR”

“MY JEEP IS DOING SEVERAL THINGS THAT IS CAUSE FOR NOT DRIVING IT BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS JUST START. I HAVE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL UP & DOWN ^ THEN IT WILL START GENERALLY. WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP WILL REV UP ALL OF A SUDDEN ESPECIALLY AT STOP SIGNS. IF I DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES I COULD HAVE CAUSED A ACCIDENT. ALSO I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS OR IT WOULD DIE ON ME. THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 2-3 MONTHS.WHEN I PUT MY JEEP IN REVERSE OR IN DRIVE IT MAKES A MAJOR CLUNKING NOISE LIKE MY TRANSMISSION IS READY TO FALL OUT. THIS CLUNKING NOISE STARTED WHEN ALL OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS STARTED! I HAVE EMAILED SEVERAL WEBSITES & HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO MY PROBLEM!! HELP!!! *TR”

“I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YESTERDAY IN MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE THROTTLE WENT WIDE OPEN ON ME, I TRIED TO GET IT TO STOP BY TAPPING THE GAS THINKING IT WAS JUST A LITTLE STUCK, BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, HAD TO SLAM IT INTO GEAR, GOT OUT AND RAN INTO A GAS STATION AND HAD THEM CALL 911, CAME BACK OUT AND MY JEEP WAS SHOOTING FLAMES OUT OF MY EXHAUST AND THE ENTIRE UNDER CARRIAGE WAS GLOWING RED. RESULTING IN A LOSS OF MY SERPENTINE BELT, POWER STEERING PULLEY, MELTED MY TRANSFER CASE, AND MORE THAT IS YET TO BE INSPECTED. *TR”

“I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. MY JEEP HIT A POOL OF WATER ON THE SURFACE OF THE HIGHWAY AND STARTED TO SKID AND HYDROPLOANE. THE NEXT THING I KNEW IT WAS FLIPPING OVER AND LANDED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY TO BE WEARING MY SEAT BELT. I WAS SUSPENDED UPSIDE DOWN BY MY SEATBELT. I WAS ABLE TO UNBUCKLE IT AND CRAWL OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WHICH WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN OUT. SECONDS AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE CAR IT BURST INTO FLAMES AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED AND BURNED COMPLETELY INSIDE AND OUT. THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT OF IT BUT BURNT FRAME. AS SOON AS THE CAR CAME TO A STOP UPSIDE DOWN, I SMELLED GAS AND JUST A MINUTE OR TWO LATER THE CAR WAS TOTALLY BURNED UP. *TR”
