1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Sport Utility 4-door 4.0l - Needs Repair - Red on 2040-cars
Livonia, Michigan, United States
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 Red with 153,156 miles This vehicle needs repair before it can be driven. It must be towed from in front of my house.
Please see the picture of the Mechanic’s Invoice. The Idler Pulley came loose, and the bolt for the Idler bent and damaged the Coolant Tube connecting to the Water Pump. The Bracket the bolt attaches to was also damaged, and must be replaced. This is a labor intensive repair, which will require replacement of all of the aforementioned parts, most likely including the Water Pump (The water pump was replaced only 11 months ago (8k miles ago)). No accidents. See AutoCheck Report. Clear Title in hand. Please read below for information on repairs made over the last year, and things on the Jeep that do not work. Repairs made over the last year: Fuel Pump – 4 months ago, 4 thousand miles ago Ignition Coil – 4 months ago, 4 thousand miles ago Crank Sensor – 5 months ago, 4+ thousand miles ago New Radiator – July 2013 (can’t find the receipt with date and mileage) Track Bar & Steering Stabilizer replacement – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago Water pump & thermostat replacement – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago A/C recharge – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago Engine cleaning and power steering fluid change – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago The battery is 16 months old, and it is an 8 year warranty battery (not transferable)
The following things do not work, or are faults with the vehicle: The fuel guage does not work. The electric windows on the passenger side do not work most of the time. There is a bad ABS speed sensor on the left rear wheel (ABS light on). The gauge light and chime come on from time to time, while at the same time the oil pressure gauge drops. It is apparently a gauge or instrument cluster problem (google on this to see it’s a common Jeep issue). The vehicle used to have another common Jeep problem, engine stalling. The problem went away when I removed the PCM cover screws (google Jeep PCM screws). But, I suspect the problem will eventually come back, and more digging on google revealed that the issue is intermittent solder joints inside the PCM cover (so removing screws changed the torque on the cover relieving the issue, for now). The passenger side carpet used to get wet when running the A/C over time on the highway. It was apparently a plugged drain from the condenser (another common Jeep problem you can google about), so it is believe to be solved. It has a fault code for an oxygen sensor. The Airbag light is on sometimes. The radio does not play loud. It will for a minute until it warms up, but it is apparently folding back on the gain due to heat. The aftermarket remote keyless entry operates all locks except the driver door. The driver door has to be opened with the key. (I know, that’s so backwards). The driver door opens and closes OK, but it is rickety. Rust in spots shown in pictures, but not really any to speak of under doors. Tires are all OK on tread, but not matched. Please feel free to ask any questions. $100 deposit through PayPal required upon winning the auction. Cash only accepted when picking up the vehicle. Please pick up promptly, and be prepared to tow. SOLD AS IS. NO WARRANTY. Thank you!

Chrysler Recalls Jeep SUVs For Ignition Switches
Wed, Jul 23 2014The ignition switch defects that engulfed General Motors are now a rapidly growing problem at Chrysler. Chrysler said Tuesday it is recalling up to 792,300 older Jeep SUVs worldwide because the ignition switches could fall out of the "run" position, shutting off the engine and disabling air bags as well as power-assisted steering and braking. That's the same problem that has forced GM to recall more than 15 million cars over the last six months. Chrysler's recall covers 2005-2007 Grand Cherokees and 2006-2007 Commanders. The company said it is not sure exactly how many will be recalled, but said it will notify customers by mid-September. Chrysler said an outside force such as a driver's knee can knock switches out of the "run" position. Engineers are working on a fix. The Auburn Hills, Michigan-based automaker, now part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, said it knows of no related injuries and only one accident. But it said owners should keep clearance between their knees and keys until repairs are made. Chrysler has now recalled more than 1.7 million vehicles for ignition-switch problems. In June, the company added 696,000 minivans and SUVs to a 2011 recall to fix faulty ignition switches. Those recalls covered Dodge Journey SUVs and Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan and Volkswagen Routan minivans - which Chrysler made for the German automaker - from the 2007 to 2010 model years. Tuesday's recall is the outgrowth of two investigations opened by U.S. safety regulators last month as part of a broader probe into ignition-switch and air-bag problems across the auto industry. The agency wouldn't say Tuesday whether its investigation could lead to recalls at other automakers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in June that it was investigating Jeep Commanders and Grand Cherokees after getting 32 complaints that a driver's knee can hit the key fob or key chain, causing the ignition switch to move out of position. The federal investigation is still open. The agency said Tuesday that it is requesting additional information from Chrysler to ensure that its repairs will be effective. The investigations and recalls come after GM bungled an ignition-switch recall of older small cars. GM acknowledged that it knew of the ignition problem for more than a decade but failed to recall the cars until earlier this year, when it recalled 2.6 million small cars such as the Chevrolet Cobalt.
Retro Review covers that Jeep Wrangler TJ you wanted in high school
Fri, May 8 2015The Jeep Wrangler TJ holds a dear place in my heart. When they were introduced, the return to circular headlights helped pull my dad into the dealer, and he bought one. A few years later, I learned how to drive a stick in that Jeep. Now, MotorWeek has fired up the time machine for a look at the '97 Wrangler as part of the Retro Review series. One of the great things about these videos is that they offer a chance to see if nostalgia lives up to reality. In this situation, that seems to be the mostly case. Even when new, MotorWeek finds a lot to praise about the TJ, especially in terms of handling and style. It's not all perfect, though, with a major complaint about the braking. Watch the clip to see if the show's take on the Wrangler lives up to your memories of them, too.
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee probed by NHTSA for brake problems
Sun, Jun 7 2015Remember how Toyota got in all kinds of trouble over unintended acceleration? Well, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Jeep over unintended braking. NHTSA has announced a probe of 20,000 Grand Cherokee SUVs from model year 2014. Nine complaints have been received, with owners alleging that their Jeeps have issued brake warnings or gone ahead and applied the brakes when no threat was presented. Each complaint alleges that the vehicles have exhibited this behavior repeatedly, leading to a "sudden reduction in vehicle speed in traffic." So basically, a system designed to prevent accidents could actually increase the odds of a collision happening. Speaking to the Associated Press, Jeep spokesperson Eric Mayne said owners whose vehicles are exhibiting this behavior should report to dealers, while adding that the automatic braking/adaptive cruise control systems can be deactivated. Related Video: Scroll down for the official bulletin on the investigation from NHTSA. Date Investigation Opened: JUN 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15021 Component(s): FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received nine complaints alleging inappropriate activations of the autonomous braking system in model year (MY) 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. All nine reports alleged unexpected braking incidents preceded by collision imminent brake warnings and resulting in sudden reduction in vehicle speed in traffic. Two complaints reported autonomous braking incidents with no objects on the road resulting in rapid increase in brake force and anti-lock braking system (ABS) activations. The complaints alleged experiencing multiple events at different locations and road conditions. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to assess the frequency, scope and consequences of the alleged defect. The following VOQ numbers are associated with the issues discussed in this resume: 10543837, 10713629, 10690650, 10663320, 10630362, 10596913, 10533622, 10533524, 10651269.
