“After years of few problems, my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee stopped running. The engine died and could not be re-started. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic who worked on it for years and he is unable to find the problem. The computerized diagnostics show that there is no problem with the electronics but the mechanic can not get it operating.”

“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. …”
