#5 of 2467 Any 2001 JGC QuadraDrive Problems? by jim225 Dec 06, 2000 (1:58 am)
I was wondering what the experiences were of new 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee owners concerning QuadraDrive. Many earlier posts of 1999 and 2000 JGC's reflected problems and I would like to get a feel if these have been solved. I'm ready to purchase a 2001 JGC with SelectTrac or QuadraDrive and would appreciate any comments you may have. Thanks folks!

My JGC got bought back by Chrysler because of all the drive train and stalling problems. If I had visited this site before I purchased my Grand Cherokee I would have run not walked away from buying any JGC. If you don't mind spending lots of time at your Chrysler service center then buy a jeep. George Replies to this message: rally3 (Sep 02, 2005 10:05 am) howleh (Dec 23, 2005 12:15 pm)

george2kmax- Just curious- did Chrysler slap a GAG ORDER on you too as a result of the buyback? fastdriver
#8 of 2467 Jeep lemon buyback by lemonjeep2 Dec 07, 2000 (3:56 am)
When DC bought back or 99 JGC lemon 6 months ago, my fiance had to sign a waiver stating that she would not discuss the settlement. What a load of crap. I, on the other hand, with no such restrictions on my first amendment rights, want to proudly announce that they refunded her down payment and all of her monthly payments. Full Refund!! And this was on a Jeep that they said was operating normally. Good luck with your Lemons. We've got a Tundra now and it is flawless. (much quieter than the jeep too)
#9 of 2467 Summary of 99 JGC issues by bosjeepguy Dec 07, 2000 (8:23 pm)
Hello everyone, I'm pretty new here and from the sounds of what I have read so far, i'm not alone in my problems. What I'm lookin for is a LIST of what things people have had go terribly wrong on their 99's. I for one have the following paint: very sensitive..birds are the enemy front wheels: LOTS of brake squeel and dust windows: had front motors done 2wice and one rear done once. Other than that, no other big problems.. Like the 10disc changer where it is..no problem. No wind noise that I know of yet and no whine..although i'm going to check that on the way home from work tonight. Does someone have a compilation of the issues? Thanks in advance and sorry for sounding like a newbie. -jim Replies to this message: topspin999 (Sep 13, 2005 7:55 pm)
#10 of 2467 Fastdriver, Waiver by george2kmax Dec 07, 2000 (11:56 pm)
Bob, I did have to sign a waiver not to talk about my buy back settlement. I did post a small explanation here at this site. I was one of the most active members here at this conference over a year ago. My user name changed when I got my buy back and purchased my 2000 Maxima. I almost purchased a 2001 Pathfinder after my buy back but I went for the Max. The turning point to my getting my buy back considering that the district manager was such a waste of time was when I got the complete E-Mail Address book of all managers, the President and Chairmen of Daimler Chrysler. I started providing them with all previous letters that I sent to Chrysler and all my future plans of action that I was going to proceed with. George

george2kmax- I've been following this topic and the other one that was here for a long time. It seems that every buy-back that Chrysler has made includes a GAG ORDER!! No wonder these two JEEP topics got so quiet! I knew something was up. Everyone is gagged! I wonder if this is normal procedure for ALL car company buy-backs? I know just the person to ask, IF he'll tell me. I'll let you know what I find out. fastdriver
#12 of 2467 Fastdriver, buy back by george2kmax Dec 08, 2000 (2:31 am)
Bob, Of course I know that you have been following this topic for a long time, we corresponded many times. In fact if I recall, when I wrote that I got my buy back you were one of the first to congratulate me. By the way I did run my Jeep vin # 2 months after my buy back and it did come back as a lemon buy back. You should be getting ready to turn in your almost lemon 300M. Did you decide what you will repace it with. I know it will not be a Chrysler product.   BTW Thanks for all the great Zaino advice. My Maxima looks great after using Zaino. George

george2kmax- What was your old screename- if you can divulge it without violating the "gag order"! LOL.... There are some really interesting articles on some hearings that the FTC held several years ago RE" buybacks/lemons. A lot of it is doubletalk from the manufacturers. None the less- interesting. Check it out when you have time- http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/lemon/index.htm Since your Jeep was a BUYBACK VS being labeled a LEMON, you wouldn't find anything by checking the VIN. They just shipped it to another state, put it in an auction, and sold it to the next unsuspecting chump! ) Glad things turned out okay for you. As for my next car- I think I'm going to get a Buick Regal GS with the supercharged engine like I had on my 96 Riv- the car I had before Christine. The owners in the Regal forum seem pretty happy with their cars. At least it reads nothing like most of the Chrysler topics! Ah Zaino- isn't it great! The other day, I FINALLY took my car to the car wash- non-touch. Came out, wiped it off and it looked like I just Zainoed it! I haven't applied anything since the weather turned frigid here in CT. My car always looks great. BTW- what color MAX did you get? fastdriver
#14 of 2467 2001 JGC laredo 4x4 v8 by redjeeper Dec 09, 2000 (1:24 am)
This topic was very helpful to me as I was selecting a new car...I picked up my '01 jgc laredo 4x4 v8 last week and have 300 miles on it. I hope I do not have the horror story experience of several of the above members, so I intend to occasionally post updates on how this jeep performs. Hopefully this will provide another viewpoint for folks still making their decisions on which vehicle to purchase. thus far this is my experience, I absolutely love it (but of course it is brand-new so why wouldn't I!). For those of you who have complained that it drives like a truck- take it from someone who has driven a Dodge ram 4x4 club cab for the last 5 yrs that it doesn't! The ride is very smooth but it is of course still a 4x4...you cannot expect to have everything in one vehicle. I had no problems w/ the dodge so I had no fears about buying another chrysler product. I have noticed a very slight whine when accelerating through 40mph but it only lasts about a second- and I probably would never have noticed it if I hadn't been reading the above posts. So far so good but I am only at 300 miles. I will try to post updates occasionally but in this case no news can be considered good news- believe me, if this jeep starts to become a lemon the whole world will know it! thanks again to the jeep lovers and haters above for the great information
