Example complaints

“Component (diode) on 60 pin PCM has a short causing injector number 6 to stick wide open. Result is a cylinder compressing fuel which can lead to explosion, also raw fuel escaping out of the tail pipe and large amounts of smoke. Gasoline pulls the oil off of cylinder wall causing excessive friction and engine damage along with catalytic converter damage. If rear ended when injector is sticking open could cause explosion or fire! I have confirmed this on 3 other 93-95 Grand Cherokee obd I models as well. Jeep was idling near someone welding and the injector stuck open and started a fire. …”
NHTSA complaint #11183244, filed 2019-02, 243,000 miles“The evaporator leakes into the passenger compartment when the AC works, have been told that the accumulator is bad so it will not hold a charge. The speedometer will work sporadically, sometimes it works fine, other times it doesn't work at all, and the sometimes it bounces around, though the speed control still works even when speedometer does not. The speed sensor has been replaced and that has not made any difference. The clock on the radio as well as other display items will sometimes light up and other times not, like the wires are coming loose or something. …”

NHTSA complaint #10760408, filed 2015-08, 120,000 miles“When I test drove the vehicle, the electric windows did not work. The dealer had their mechanic look at it and pronounced that the fuse was loose. I subsequently purchased the vehicle and have driven approximately 1,000 miles and the windows did not work today. I checked the fuse and it was very hot. After it cooled down, I started the car and checked to see if the windows would work. They did, but very very slowly for about 1/2 inch. I turned off the vehicle and started it up again to try to roll up the window. I got the window up and checked the fuse again. It was very hot. …”
