I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Laredo and recently observed that when the jeep is in park and nuetral there's a very load grinding noise coming from the engine. In addition, the wiper, radio, pwr windows, etc does not work while this is going on. Left the Jeep with my mechanic over-night, the next morning the problem cleared up...gone, no more noise.
Suddenly the same problem re-appeared again approx 5wks later with the same results.
Any idea what is the problem and the repair solution.
Thanks!

For the last few months it has picked up a problem when on full lock either left or right, forward or backwards there is a clicking noise and its there no matter how fast or slow you go but once you take it off full lock its gone! :confuse: I changed the CV Joint hoping this would cure the noise but nothing!
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I am just wondering if this really is normal with nothing to worry about or can I expect a major breakdown sometime in the future.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Another thing to check is the wheels themselves, are these stock or aftermarket? some aftermarket wheels will loosen up after few miles of driving on them and need retorquing/ tightening.

I had a 2002 Grand Cherokee Limited and had the problem of "water sloshing behind dash"...what happened was my water pump went out and I had blown a head gasket and that was antifreeze "sloshing" around in there...it cost me $1000 to get it fixed...I made the mistake of running it till the engine locked up and it had to be thouroughly cleaned and nearly 3 oil changes to get the gunk out.
Hope that helps.
shocks have been replaced. Still the noise is there. The dealership is at awl and cannot find the problem. Help!!!!!!!!! a $1000.00 later no answer.
i would put a lock washer on the bolt by the head and tighten the bolt sure sounds as if shock is makeng your noise
could try and remove shock and drive over some bumps if noise is gone then you know that the shock bolt is bottoming out before it pinches the shock mount tight in the mount
You said you were going 55MPH and the noise went away when you shifter the transmission into neutral which tells me that the problem is most definately inside the transmission.
I am sorry I can not be much help in this situation unless you know how to rebuild transmissions.... Furthermore... if there is anyone with any problem relating to Jeep Grand Cherokees 1993 - 2006 please let me know. I have researched every issue known to these vehicles from frequent brake pulsations to rear differentials blowing out. I am new to this site, but if anyone needs any help with any situation please let me know so that I can save you time, money, and most importantly your sanity...
Good luck with you Jeep and just know once you get this overdrive situation repaired it will not happen again... just remember if you tow heavy things with your jeep... please please keep overdriver OFF while towing!! it will save your transmission and motor the pain of trying to tug something using half the effort in the process!!!
1. TRANSFER CASE (Loud clunking noise from what sounds like the front driver's side axle or wheel? You can feel a thud under your feet? TRANSFER CASE . Jeep knows that they installed defective transfer cases but refuses to be responsible. I'm replacing mine for the SECOND time (1300 bucks!) Jeep recalled 1990-1998 model years GC 4X4's for defective transfer cases.)
2. TRANSMISSION: (Within the Transmission, actually to be more precise with the overdrive section of the transmission. Earlies Jeeps 1993 to 1998 were frequently having these problems.. )
Which one do I do First, I guess the cheaper one, right.
Dumb question, I hear that there was a recall from Jeep on the (TRANSFER CASE) between 90-98 years. I know recall also expire, how to I check with dealership? if jeep was every recalled for this TRANSFER CASE? problem.
Still need help....
Another issue I have which I will correct someday is the driver power seat with memory. The rear lift motor does not operate properly. When activated it tries to work but it sounds and looks like the gear on the screw drive is jammed. When I inquire about a new motor everyone, including junk yards, want to sell me the entire track. The dealers price looks like someones telephone # and the junk yards are asking half of that. I will have to take the seat out and remove the motor to see what's happening in there.
The third and I hope last issue is one of the retaining clips on the filter air-box is missing. I figured that I might have to buy an entire set of four from the dealer at maybe a cost of $20 or so. The dealer told me that these clips come as part of the air-box which I would have to purchase if I wanted them????!!!!!!!! I bought an entire air-box on e-bay for 99 cents with $11 shipping.
Anyway I just though I would share my experience so far with this GC. Driving it is a pleasure and I am ready for the up and comming snow season here in the north east................topat46
I had a new muffler put on awhile back and i noticed the heatsheild on that thing which connects to the muffler fell off the underside of the car cuss it was totally rusted out. Im not very car savey sadly so i dont know what this problem is comming from that im about to tell you.
Ok the problem is this. When i start the car and it sits idle or when i step on the gas doesnt matter its always there, the car is making a faint rattle noise underneeth. I dont know where exactly its comming from tho. Iv heared people say there car rattle's and when they put it in neutral it stops. I put the car in neutral and it doesnt stop so i dont think "well i hope" its not the tranny cuss it does this in park/neutral/drive ect.
Another problem i have with the car is the left front side when i go over 30MPH starts to HUMMM really loud to the point where i need to turn the radio on lol. I took it to a shop and they said it was the bearing in the left driver side wheel which needs replaced. I dont have the money they want to replace it so iv been driving my other car for the last month. Does this sound right too that the bearing is bad ?
Anyway thanks in advance
Oh i forgot to tell you its a 4X4 4.0L Jeep grand Cherokee
This was the part that fell off and here is what the underside looks like, it also seems like my oil pressure it always low after awhile i had the oil filter and oil replaced like 2 times now but when i started the jeep up today cuss its bad to keep it off for long periods of time i noticed the oil pressure mark was below the "40" mark on the dashboard. Is that normal ?

I recently bought a 1999 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.0L 2WD, 111,000 miles.
I knew the rear end needed overhauled due to rear end whine and light vibration in overdrive. Had the rear end overhauled by a reputable shop which took care of the rear whine but the vibration in overdrive from 48 mph and up is still there. The owner of the driveline shop took me for a test drive and pointed out that the vibration seemed to be from the transmission and recommended I take it to his friend at a reputable Trans shop nearby. I went for a test drive with owner of the Trans shop and he did not think there was a problem with the Trans. He said others with the same type of vibration in the Jeep GC have had the driveshaft balanced and other repairs, which did not eliminate the vibration and said possibly new motor mounts and Trans mount may help. I installed all new mounts myself but vibration persists. The vibration goes away when lifting off accelerator or shutting off overdrive?
Help!!!
Thanks
It still has power, smooth driving, and no vibrations. It makes this noise all the time. I tried putting the jeep in neutral while driving and it is still there, so I do not think it is my drive shaft.
also could be bad comperssure as it runs when in defrost also
:mad:
