2004 Jeep Wrangler

I CURRENTLY OWN A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2004, AT AROUND 12,000 MILES WHEEL STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLE. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY DID IT FOR FREE AND TOLD ME NEXT TIME THEY ARE NOT COVERED. IT IS NOW 29,000 MILES AND SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN I NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. I OWNED MANY CARS IN MY LIFE AND NEVER ONCE WENT THROUGH ROTORS ON ANY OF THEM. IF CHRYSLER KNOWS OF PROBLEM WHY WONT THEY ADDRESS IT. *NM

MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AFTER 30,000 MILES HAS DEVELOPED WHAT IS KNOWN AS "WARPED ROTORS" THERE IS A PULSATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS HAS BECOME EVEN WORSE. IT SEEMS THAT THESE ROTORS KEEPS GOING BAD FOR THE JEEP CHEROKEE. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THE FRONT ROTORS OF ALL CHEROKEES FROM 1999 TO 2004. MY WIFE USES THE CAR EVERYDAY TO TAKE OUR TWO SMALL CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. SHE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR A NEW SETS OF ROTORS BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE MATERIAL THAT WAS USED TO MAKE THE ORIGINAL ROTORS. *NM

MY BREAK PEDDLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY VIBRATE WHEN I WOULD BREAK. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND WAS TOLD MY ROTORS WERE WARPED. THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE WAY I DROVE THE CAR. I AM 36 YEARS OLD AND DO NOT GO "OFF-ROADING". I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS ON ANY CAR! THIS CAR IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. *NM

ON TWO OCCASIONS, I HAVE REAR-ENDED SOMEONE DUE TO WHAT I BELIEVE IS A FAULTY DESIGN IN THE POSITION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN MY 2004 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. IN INSTANCES WHERE I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY THEREFORE APPLYING EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE PEDAL DESCENDED BELOW THE ACCELERATOR AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FOOT CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE ACCELERATOR CAUSING THE ACCELERATOR TO BE DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME. I WOULD HAVE HAD ADEQUATE STOPPING DISTANCE IN BOTH INSTANCES HAD THE ACCELERATOR NOT CAUSED ME TO BE PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *JB

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO DOWN SHIFT BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MPH. SOUNDS LIKE BALL BEARINGS IN A TIN CAN. THIS HAPPENS ON A LONG GRADE INCLINE AND TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT UNLESS THE ACCELERATOR IS PUNCHED TO THE FLOOR. TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS OVER MANY MONTHS, BOTH WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SOUNDS SIMILAR TO ODI CASE # 10105648 & 10072841. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP WRANGLER AND THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS BUT THE WORST IS THAT NEITHER FRONT BELTS WILL RETRACT FAST ENOUGH TO PREVENT EITHER DOOR FROM SLAMMING ON THE SHOULDER PORTION. I FEAR THAT AFTER REPEATED DOOR CLOSING ON THE BELTS WILL WEAKEN THEM TO THE POINT OF BREAKING DURING AN IMPACT. THE SECONDARY PROBLEM IS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS CRACKING IN 2 PLACES.*AK

PROBLEM NO. 1: MY 2004 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS HAD A STEERING AND WHEEL VIBRATION PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IT IN JULY 2004 FROM PARRISH JEEP IN FAIRFAX, VA. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORST. THE WHEELS AND STEERING VIBRATE ABRUPTLY BETWEEN 45 - 60 MILES MPH. I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL WITH 2 HANDS TO ATTEMPT TO SAFELY DRIVE MY JEEP. AS OF AUGUST 2004, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 VIRGINIA JEEP DEALERSHIPS FOR THE VIBRATION PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IN WHICH THE PROBLEM WAS WITNESSED AND NOTED. ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS WITNESSED BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PROVIDE PROOF OF MY VEHICLE SERVICES, WHICH I DID. PARRISH JEEP HAS COPIES OF ALL OF THEM. AFTER CONTACTING JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHICH JUST TOLD ME TO CONTINUE TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS FINALLY TOLD IN DECEMBER 2005 BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD TO BRING MY JEEP IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR A JEEP ENGINEER TO TEST DRIVE AND DIAGNOSE. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT HE BELIEVED THE TIRES TO BE FAULTY, BUT NOW THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE MILEAGE ON MY JEEP. I REMINDED HIM THAT THE RECEIPTS SHOW THAT I HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN I INITIALLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2004. SO, NOW I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER ONE MONTH FOR A CALL TO HAVE THE JEEP ENGINEER REVIEW THE PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 3RD JEEP THAT I HAVE OWNED, IN ADDITION TO THE 2 THAT MY FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE OWNED BECAUSE OF MY RECOMMENDATION, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THIS MAY BE MY AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS' LAST TIME TO BUY JEEP PRODUCTS DUE TO SAFETY AND LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. PROBLEM NO. 2: THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AS I COME TO A STOP. THIS JERKING HAPPENS AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS WARMED UP. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTED AS OF THE SUMMER 2005. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE SAME 2 VA DEALERSHIPS, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE COMPUTER WAS CHECKED AND I WAS TOLD THAT ALL UPDATES HAD BEEN MADE. HOWEVER, THE JERKING IS STILL PERSISTED.*AK

2004 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT WITH 4.0 I-6 ENGINE. WOULD STALL AFTER COMPLETE WARM UP WHILE IDLING IN GEAR. DEALER INSTALLED HEAT SHIELD OVER FUEL INJECTOR, BUT STILL HAVE STALLING PROBLEMS ON COLD START. NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING COME ON. ONLY HAD 400 MILES ON IT WHEN FIRST OCCURRED. NOW, AT 16000 MILES, I'M HAVING STALLING ON COLD STARTS IN WARM WEATHER ONLY. IN THE WINTER, THE VEHICLE RUNS GREAT. DEALER CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO.*JB
