I had a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited that had a right pull problem. Jeep finally admitted that it was a Quadra-Drive problem after many alignment checks and the installation of factory provided off set ball joints. I drove a 01 with Quadra-Drive and it had the same right pull problem. Quadra-Trac and Select-Trac do not have the right pull problem. There was no Quadra-Drive cure when I went to arbitration and won in March of 01. Jeep sold my 99 at a Chrysler Dealer auction and then the dealer sold it to an unsuspecting buyer who was not apprised of the maintenance record/problems. The new owner found my insurance tag in the vehicle and called me. They had experienced some of the problems that prompted my arbitration hearing in their two days of ownership. They were headed back to the dealership after our conversation. All prospective buyers of used Chrysler products, from a dealer, should question and demand the entire vehicle record from the dealer to help determine vehicle reliability prior to finalizing a purchase. Buyer beware. Replies to this message: mworley (Mar 25, 2008 8:34 am)
#42 of 4622 rough ride coming out of 4WD by kmuldowney Jul 01, 2001 (4:08 am)
I'm looking at purchasing a 97 JGC Laredo. During the test drive a short time following shifting from 4wd back to 2wd the vehicle will buck slightly when cornering slowly.   The current owner said that the dealer told him this is common and it works itself out after a few minutes of continued driving. Which it did during my drive.   I'm concerned that there is a problem with the transmission or axle.   Anyone have this problem? And what action was taken?
#43 of 4622 BLAZER ZR2 or GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED? HELP!!!!!!! by rok9900 Jul 01, 2001 (10:52 am)
I need your help!! I'm looking at a leftover 2000 ZR2 with everything but a sonroof and a 98' Grand Cherokee Limited V8 w/36,000 miles and every option known to man. The ZR2 price is $23,000 and the Cherokee is $18,900. I drive 45,000 miles a year and often have about 400-500 lbs. in the truck. I love the Cherokee for the toys, 4 doors and liftgate. I love the ZR2 because it's brand new and reinforced chassis. If anyone knows, just how special is this ZR2 package? Is it that big of a difference? I need whichever one will last longer and be tougher. Please HELP!
#44 of 4622 Help, remote keyless entry don't work by tcn2k Jul 02, 2001 (11:24 am)
I have a 2000 Grand Ch. Laredo. My remote control works intermitently. I tried it with both keys, and replaced the battery as well. What can be the problem? Has anyone have this problem before? Replies to this message: deebee1 (Sep 20, 2006 8:45 pm)
#45 of 4622 JGC Laredo loss of Oil Pressure by arefeen Jul 12, 2001 (6:17 am)
I have a 1996 JGC Laredo with 121000 miles. The engine oil pressure goes down to zero during idle and/or low speed. The engine starts with normal pressure at the beginning but goes down after a while during idle/low speed. Any suggestions on what may cause this? I have no oil leaks and oil level is always in sfae region. An auto shop is suggesting a faulty pressure sensor and asking about $200 to replace that. Thank you in advance for your comments and/or suggestions. Replies to this message: godhelm (Jul 02, 2005 6:14 pm) boldknight (Nov 19, 2005 7:44 pm)
#46 of 4622 rotors, rotors and rotors by rinkinkin Jul 12, 2001 (6:17 pm)
2000 GCL V8 Qt II with 19500 Kilometers(11700 miles) everything works beautifully EXCEPT the rotors ---I am going in for the 3rd set and the last under warranty (expiring at 12000 miles under warranty)tomorrow morning. My 93 I-6 GCL had no similar defect. Thinking of putting in Stillen rotors after this saga . Any one had experience with Stillen on a GCL??
#47 of 4622 Death wobble by wobbler Jul 13, 2001 (12:06 am)
I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee Country 4WD. Does anywone have any information on how to solve what is commonly known as the "death wobble"?   This is a problem whereby when you hit bump at highway speeds (like 50-65mph), a violent shaking occurs throughout the front-end and steering. It's as if the front wheels are shaking back-and-forth, or up-and-down, or left-to-right.   It doesn't build up or die-down gradually, as if it where wheel balance, but generally requires a trigger (like a bump...even a small bump). And it doesn't attenuate smoothly as I rapidly slow in utter fear for my life...sometimes it remains very intense until I get down to about 30mph!   I've spent $1100 dollars already on new: steering damper, trac-bar, all tie-rod ends, steering link stabilizer bushings, shock absorbers, brake rotors, and front-end alignment.   This is really scary. (And expensive!!!) Replies to this message: jpoole (Apr 18, 2005 10:37 pm) jawarters (Apr 19, 2005 10:46 am) rjeepthing (Apr 20, 2005 1:07 pm) steve_ (Apr 20, 2005 1:31 pm)
#48 of 4622 re: rotors, rotors, etc. by wlbrown9 Jul 13, 2001 (8:54 am)
No experience with the Stillen rotors. I did just put a new set on my wife's '00 GCL last evening. The parts would have been about $102, but I got them for about $75. Autozone sold me the wrong rotors last week, did not find out until I had spent quite a bit of time making a trip back to get a better (6 pt.) 18mm socket and 1/2" drive breaker bar. They had to order the correct one's for me. The receipt shows 2 year/24 month warranty.   It took less than 45 minutes to change them last night.. jack up one side, put on jackstand, remove wheel, remove 2 bolts, slide caliper out of way, replace rotor, 2 bolts on caliper back in, replace wheel, etc. Cured the problem for now. I have the original in case Jeep ever answers my complaint... warped at about 15,000 miles. The '99 I had previously warped at 5,000 and 20,000. Jeep still declines to admit they have a problem.   If worse comes to worse and the new one warp after their 24 month warranty, I can at least get the original ones turned and put on just before trading....   Good luck.
#49 of 4622 rotors, rotors and rotors by rinkinkin Jul 13, 2001 (11:43 pm)
Yes, I got the last rotor replaced under warranty this morning and the service rep explained to me in detail that after this set I have to pay and the set they put on this morning will only be covered until coming Sept when the factory warranty on rotors expires. So I am on my own after Sept and so far one friendly garage reccommanded Power Stop rotors and also my service rep has been using Power Stop on his Labaron for 3 months . No negative feedback so far. Any one has comments?? They cost is C$149/side. Stillens are more --US$350 both sides and they don't have distributor here. I will fight with DC first and Power Stop later. Also Parts rep and one Jeep mechanic said 2001 GCL has the same rotor problem as '99 and '00 even though they have 17" wheels vs 16" on '99 & '00 (dumb move not to enlarge the rotors and cut DC warranty cost at the same time) My brother's '99 GCL with QD gear-whining problem had been solved finally after 2 years of repeated attempts. It's been a few months since the repair and no recurring noise. He mentioned a DC bulletin and replacing a diff yoke.... or axle. I can get specifics from from if anyone needs.
#50 of 4622 Brake Rotors by rogerm4 Jul 15, 2001 (1:23 pm)
I was interested in trading off my 98 Blazer, because like the JGC, either you get a great one or a bad one. I noticed after reading just a few of the posts on this board, that many JGC also have problems with the rotors corroding or warping, which has also been a chronic problem with the Blazers/Bravada's. Any ideas on what we can do about it? cost me over 600.00 to replace my rear rotors on a blazer with only 29,000 miles. of course the dealer wouldn't cover it since i was a couple months out of warranty.
