I was wondering if you ever got this problem fixed? I'm having the exact same issues with my Jeep. I already changed my spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor but it didn't seem to help. It could be that I did something wrong there- as the distributor is a pain to get to. ( being a female I was the only one who could reach in there because my forearms were smaller than my brothers' ) It didn't seem to want to drop into place so I had to hold it there while my brother fiddled with it from the side. He keeps telling me it's got to be a sensor of some sort but since you changed a bunch of them and it didn't fix the problem I'm hesitant to start changing them. (I don't have a lot of money to spare and it makes me sick that I already spent the money on all these parts and it sits with a full tank of gas!) Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

up front between right tire and transfer case. When I spray the brakes with high pressure water the sound goes away for a while, only to return the next day. Had a front bearing replaced a year ago and had a similar sound coming out of the air vents it seemed. A bearing problem again? Possibly a rotor problem on the right brake (as the high pressure water in the brake pads takes care of it temporarily. Thanks.

#2582 of 2588 SAFETY HAZZARD!! 2004 Grand Cherokee Loredo by je032735

Cannot believe Jeep has not done a recall (either by choice or not) on the Grand Cherokees for the inferior quality of materials used on the seat frames, which result in broken seats that rock side to side or back and forth. Not sure exactly what all model years this problem encompasses but I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee Loredo. The first time my driver seat frame broke (flimsy cheap metal just snapped. Not even at a weld point) I started looking online and found this is a common problem. So much so that an individual has created a product to replace the cheap metal Jeep used with stronger pieces. Shortly after replacing those pieces, the frame snapped in a different place, so now it wobbles side to side instead of forward/backward as it did previously. If having a seat fram that is so flimsy that it just snaps under normal conditions isn't a huge safety issue, I don't know what is. If this vehicle were ever in any kind of accident, I'm pretty sure the seat frame would completely fall apart or at least dismount from the floor. Guess it will take numerous tragedies of individuals being killed or seriously injured before Jeep does a recall or at least comes out with a way to fix the problem.

I know what you mean, I have had mine welded 3 time in the last 3 years.

#2585 of 2588 Battery not charging and making a whistling sound HELP by sorenssode

Feb 02, 2013 (10:30 pm)

Please Help I'm going crazy. My 2001 Jeep Cherokee started showing check gauges light and my battery wasn't charging and my temperature gauge started over heating and making this whistling noise and a loud squeaky noise like a bad pulley. I took it in to a mechanic and he said i needed a new belt. So i put a new belt on. Still engine is squeaking and whistling. Told me I had a hole in radiator and thermostat. Put a new ones on. Still check gauges and squeaking and whistling. Took to another mechanic he thought it might be the alternator. So put a new one of those one. ITS STILL MAKING THESE NOISES. HELP ME PLEASE.
