I have a 96 Grand Cherokee ltd 4X4 with 115K miles. Since it turned 65K miles I have replaced the brake pads and drums 3 times. I have water leaks in the seat belt wells, the passenger side window, and the belts are wet when it rains. Today, water is pooling in the floor of the driver's side. Water pours from just above the accelerator. Must be from A/C?the rear door hatch has jammed in lock position. The electronic mileage/ fuel readout (on ceiling module) fluctuates wildly and is inaccurate. The catalytic converter went out at 64,975 miles. Now have a crack in the exhaust manifold, quoted $1200 by dealer to repair. I have gone through stock 3 radios, tuner problems. Massive A/C problems in past. I paid a non dealer to repair it, the repairs held for 30 days and same problem started again. Then had dealer repair and it was a recall item so was covered after I'd paid for 2 prev repair jobs at $1100 total. The power steering pump went out at 90K miles. Replaced so many other parts, I'd have to refer to the service records for more details. This list is only from memory. Total cost over 3 yrs....around $4000! oh, and the rear hatch/door paint is faded and dull, totally different from the rest of the car. All black metal painted parts paint is coming off. Has been for couple of years. Also the roof rattle really loud at over 50mph. The power outlet came apart still attached to my phone cord one day. Finally, the front end has some problem with the axle? and will cost approx $700 to repair. I thought I had a lemon until I talked with 3 other Jeep owners, they've had similar problems. Do we have any recourse with Chrysler over these vehicles...I am considering involving an attny.

I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4 which has had 5 fuel pump modules and one gas tank replaced since 08.10.2000. The vehicle is in need of another fuel pump module. The dealers have difficulty in replicating the condition. The fuel gauge is providing false readings; typically giving an empty tank reading when full, 3/4 full or 3/4 empty. I have heard the same complaint from numerous other Grand Cherokee owners. I would think the maker/dealer would have spotted a trend by now or is overlooking it because of the cost involved with finding a new vendor. All receipt copies of work performed concerning this matter are intact.
