Jeep is still at dealers, they are replacing transmission, torque converter among other things. I have been without it 7 days so far THIS TIME. Did you ever file a complaint with Chrysler or start the lemon law proceedings? If not, why??

Sorry to hear that...I went through the exact same thing. I did not file a complaint or lemon law the car because of a couple of reasons: I love the car (when it’s running); everything was covered under the warranty, the dealership even paid for my rental. I also believe the problem can be fixed. After the converter is replaced, the tranny dipstick needs to be sealed. You can try talking to Chrysler but it’s hard to get someone on the phone that can do anything (I did try that). Keep talking to your dealership about what is being done. Giving up right now and looking into the lemon law proceedings is very tedious, and it varies from state to state. I hope you get the problem resolved; a lot of us went through the same thing. Let me know how it goes.

I believe that you did not in fact get all the air out if the system.
To correctly bleed the power steering system you must: Add fluid till it reaches the cold mark. Then start the engine and allow it to run at a fast idle. Add more fluid if nessasary to reach the cold mark on the dipstick. Bleed the system by turning the wheels side to side WITHOUT hitting the turn stops. This will work the air out of the system. Keep the reservior full as this is done.When all the air bled out, keep the vehicle running for awhile longer insuring all the air has indeed worked it's way out.
 
I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

1997 Grand Cherokee stall at idle and mirror memory problem by spaguy1
Feb 05, 2006 (8:32 pm)

I have a 1997 GC that has had the check engine light on for months and months. I've taken it to the dealer and they can never pin down an answer - they would rather try and sell me on doing $1000's on Seeping seals.
 
Here is where I'm at;
 
Serpentine belt broke and damaged radiator....
 
1. Replaced water pump and belt
2. replaced radiator
 
Right after this it started stalling at idle and low speed (on the test drive after replacing above items).
 
3. replaced plugs, cap, rotor and wires
4. replaced Oxygen sensors
 
After all of this I still have the problem with the low speed and idle stall!
 
In addition to this the memory mirrors will not return to the same position ever....
 
Any help would be appreciated.

Check Engine Light ON 2001 Cherokee by 1sonarrat

At approx. 76,000 miles the check engine light came on and idle speed seems to be alittle high even though the heater/ac is off. Happened once before at 12,000 miles, then under warranty, the dealership replaced the fuel pump gasket which fixed the problem. Now, I think the problem maybe one of the O2 sensors. (1) Does anyone know if its possible to test these sensors with an ohmmeter? and if so, what kind of readings should I get? (2) Also, if I replace the sensors or any other part, will I need the computer to reset the light?

2003 JGC EVIC not working by dl8925

When I bought the vehicle last summer, it was working fine. Now there is nothing on the display panel. I unscrewed it from the ceiling deck but everythings looks okay visually. The courtesy lights and the moonroof switch are working fine. No frays in the wiring harness, no cracks or loose components. I understand these are non-repairable but are expensive to replace. Anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance.

engine cutoff by mac423

I have a 2000 jgc, 4 months ago at idle engine would die out and then it would re start immediately. This didn't happen for 4 months now the problem re surfaced.
 
Only happens at idle. Mechanic cannot find anything wrong due to no check engine light or malfunction indicator.
