Known issues on the 1997 Grand Cherokee. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year: a fuel-tank leak that can cause a fire near an ignition source, a hydraulic brake-fluid loss that lowers brake line pressure and lengthens stopping distance, a headlight fault that reduces lighting visibility and can lead to a crash, a disc-brake rotor whose cast-iron wear surface can separate from the hub and reduce braking, an exterior-lighting fault that reduces visibility and can lead to a crash, and a fuel-pump leak that can cause a fire near an ignition source. Owners have filed 1,433 complaints and Jeep has issued 90 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 or fuel-system repair, or a hard-to-trace lighting fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1997 Grand Cherokee.
