I own a 1997 jeep laredo & received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure) no dealership so I drove 120 miles to nearest jeep service dept. They kept the vehicle for 4 hours then stated the parts that were needed to repair the vehicle were unavailable. The dealer was unable to provide an expected date for when the part would become available. It has been over a year and I never heard back. Since then I applied for the $100 gift card and they said I am ineligible since...

the item was already repaired. This jeep has so many issues. Electrical short throughout entire vehicle that cuts out stereo, blinkers, running lights, brake lights, dash lights. Its not the fuses either. The drivers door hinges are rotting. The car now stalls daily even when going freeway speeds. The driver side seat motor has seized and no longer adjusts. Engine light stays on and it now won't pass smog tests. The front car shakes and needs tie rods. I am experiencing a complete loss. My only option is to scrap the vehicle since repairs would cost more than the vehicle is worth.

2006 Jeep LaredoElectrical systemLightsDriver assistance

I was driving home at dark with my family in this vehicle when the headlights went completely out and everything in the dash went out. This jeep was recalled last year 2014 for the ignition switch and has to this date not been fixed, I would like to know what are the plans for repairing this situation, the headlights now will flicker on and off there is no specific time or date when it decides to do this. I would appreciate a response to this situation since this is the vehicle that I have to drive to work and to transport my daughter to school.

there a lot of these same 2006 jeeps with the same problem. They said my jeep has to many miles 85,000 - but it seems like it happens to call jeeps no mater what the mileage - I think this is a defective part and they should make it right - now matter how many miles. This is a very dangerous problem.

1999 Jeep LaredoSteeringElectrical systemBrakes

We bought a used 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo last year for our son to drive, thinking it would be a safe vehicle for him in all kinds of weather and road conditions. We did not expect to have problems driving on the highway on dry roads in perfect weather. The vehicle has started to stall at highway speeds, causing a loss of power steering and brakes, and most likely air bags as well. We are lucky he is a safe driver, and was able to get the vehicle off the road safely. Our trusted mechanic, who is a jeep...

owner, changed the crankcase position sensor, this did not help. He advised us to bring it to the local jeep dealer, because they would be better able to troubleshoot the problem, reading the codes, as opposed to throwing parts at it. The dealer cleaned some ground wires, gave it back to us, and it stalled on the highway going home, and wouldn't restart. We had to wait for a tow truck in a hazardous location in a rainstorm. We brought it back to the dealer, and they keep it for a week. Put 50 miles on it test driving, and couldn't duplicate the problem. They didn't charge us for this, they seem like they are trying to help, but they don't seem to have a good handle on the problem. The problem could be caused by any number of electrical components, from the computer, to the wiring, to sensors, modules, even the ignition switch. No codes are displayed. In looking on this website, I found 5 complaints from just 1999 and 2000, for the same problem. One woman is terrified to drive it with her three kids in the car. This is not confined to just these model years. There are a lot of these vehicles on the road, some people have been able to fix the problem, some certainly have not because it is hard to pinpoint. How chrysler has been able to duck responsibility on this serious problem for so long is beyond me. *Tr

Traveling on freeway, suddenly car lost complete power - felt like it just went into neutral. All dashboard lights went out as if ignition was turned off. Heavy traffic and almost culminated in a serious accident. Was able to gradually get to shoulder and slow down and finally stop with great effort. Approx 5 minutes later, able to restart car and continue without incident. *Tr

1999 Jeep LaredoElectrical systemEngine & cooling

Jeep shuts down while driving at any speed. Will shut down/stall and may start back up or might be 10 minutes or two hours or the next day before it will start again. Stalling has gotten progressively more frequently. I have almost been rear ended twice when it stalls. Been to several mechanics and no one has been able to correct problem. *Tr
