“We have a 2001 jeep laredo and the left rear axle seals and bearings have gone out twice. Bearings start making noise at around 35 mph. The seals failed and caused oil to get on the emergency brake lining causing emergency brake to be ineffective. The first time this went out the vehicle had approx. 75,000 mi. The vehicle has the same problem again at approx. 82,000 mi. This has cost $1100.00 to fix the first time and is at the dealer now for the second repair which will cost at least $1500.00 to repair bearings and emergency brake and/or linings. *tr”Owner report · Power Train · Jun 2009
“2001 jeep grand cherokee. Out of nowhere in 48 degree weather, my windows slid into the door. The dealer stated it was the power window regulator. This is a very common problem with little to no help with resolution. *tr”Owner report · Visibility · Oct 2008
“My 2001 jeep accelerates when stopping and has a slow take off when accelerating. I stopped at a traffic light when applying the brakes the jeep accelerated. I had to again apply the brakes. I never know when it is going to stop. The transmission light has come on and a gas cap was replaced when this first happened but now the accelerations have started again. I am afraid to drive the car close to any other car because I don't know if the jeep will just take off. Also, the shift gear slips easily I have to be careful about touching the shift while driving. Has any other complaints been filed concerning the accelerations when stopping in the 2001 jeep grand cherokees? *tr”Owner report · Power Train · Sep 2008
