Known issues on the 1996 Grand Cherokee. Seven recalls are on federal record for this model year: a fuel-tank leak that can reach an ignition source and start a fire, a loss of brake fluid that lowers brake line pressure and lengthens stopping distance, improper wiring clamping that can arc at the connection and cause an engine-compartment fire, a brake rotor whose cast-iron wear surface can separate from the hub and reduce braking, a fuel pump that can push system pressure beyond the limits of the fuel-system components, headlights with reduced visibility, and an exterior-lighting fault that reduces visibility — both a crash risk. Owners have filed 1,250 complaints and Jeep has issued 78 technical service bulletins for the year. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems.
From a routine service interval to a brake overhaul or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1996 Grand Cherokee.
