2003 Jeep Laredo

I OWN A 2003 JEEP GC LAREDO. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT ONLY HAS 8000 MILES. EVERYTIME I BRAKE IF THE VEHICLE IS GOING OVER 40MPH THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE INTENSELY WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW. LUCKILY, I DONT DO MUCH HIGHWAY DRIVING BUT I DID THE OTHER DAY AND IT SCARED ME WHEN I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES. THIS IS VERY ODD FOR SUCH A NEW JEEP W/ LOW MILES TO BE HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS.*AK

INCIDENT OF ROLLOVER INVOLVING JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 2003. *MR THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HAD GONE 2-3 INCHES AWAY FROM THE MAIN ROAD. WHEN THE CONSUMER TRIED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BY TURNING THE WHEEL TOWARDS THE RIGHT, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL OVER LANDING ON THE RIGHT EMBANKMENT FACING EASTWARD ON THE WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *SC *JB

I HAVE A 2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT MISFIRES REALLY BAD WHEN CERTAIN CONDITIONS EXIST. I KNOW THAT IF I ACCELERATE GOING UP A STEEP HILL - THE MOTOR MISFIRES SO BAD THAT IT IS LIKE A BUCKING HORSE. *JB THE DEALER CALLED MY 1ST JEEP A LEMON AND REPLACED IT, AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND NOW THE 2ND JEEP DOES THE SAME EXACT THING. MY DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT JEEP HOT LINE DOESN'T HAVE ANY REPORTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM ANYONE ELSE. MY DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO PUT A CO-PILOT ON MY JEEP TO GET BETTER COMPUTER CODES. ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT THERE IS A MISFIRE. THE 1ST JEEP DID THIS 3 TIMES BEGINNING AT 3,000 MILES UNTIL 10,000 MILES WHEN I GOT SWAPPED IT OUT FOR A DIFFERENT JEEP. THIS 2ND JEEP WAS BRAND NEW AS WELL AND AT 23,000 MILES AT THE SAME EXACT LOCATION AS ONE OF THE PREVIOUS MISFIRES, IT STARTED MISFIRING. MOST RECENTLY I WAS GOING 55 MPH ABOUT 100 MILES FROM HOME ON MY WAY TO A RELATIVE'S HOUSE. THE FIRST JEEP DID THE EXACT SAME THING AT THE SAME PLACE. THE CAR HAD DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS IN IT AT VARIOUS MISFIRES SO I DON'T THINK THE PROBLEM IS FUEL RELATED. I WAS GOING UP A HILL ON THE INTERSTATE TRYING TO PASS A SEMI AND WHEN IT KICKED INTO PASSING GEAR -BINGO, IT STARTED MISFIRING SO BAD I HAD TO PULL OVER. AFTER TURNING OFF THE JEEP FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, THE JEEP STARTED AND RAN SMOOTHLY BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS COLD OR WARM OUT. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I HAVE GONE 1 MILE OR 100 MILES - THE ONLY CONSISTENT THING THAT I CAN FIND IS THAT BOTH VEHICLES ARE 2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND THAT I WAS EITHER ACCELERATING OR ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *JB

WHEN USING THE WIND SHIELD WASHER SYSTEM, THE WASHER MOTOR WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE FLUID, THEREFORE ROAD VISIBILITY WAS HINDERED CAUSING NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF SUN GLARE AND ROAD SALT DEBRIS. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND RESPONDED THAT THE WINDOW WASHER FLUID SYSTEM IS MOST LIKELY FROZEN AND REMAINS THIS WAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. *CB
