TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF PARK AND BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN TO WOBBLE AND THEN THE SEAT BRACKETS FAILED. HE NOTICED THAT THE SEAT WOBBLED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, BUT NO REPAIRS WERE MADE AT THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SEAT BRACKETS AND THE SEAT FAILED. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $800. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE AND THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

LEFT TURN SIGNAL ONLY WORKS ON OCCASION AND THEN WILL GO OUT TOTALLY. THE BULBS ARE OK. IN CHECKING JEEP OWNER WEBSITES THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY LARGE PROBLEM. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IF THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL FAILS THE DRIVER BEHIND YOU DOES NOT KNOW YOUR INTENTIONS AND MAY RUN IN TO YOU. CURRENTLY, I HAVE TO PASS UP MY TURN WHEN IT FAILS AND THEN FIND A SAFE PLACE TO TURNAROUND AND GO BACK TO MY ORIGINAL TURN POINT. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS I HAVE SEEN ON THE VARIOUS WEBSITES I BELIEVE THIS IS A STRONG SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND A PERMANENT REPAIR MADE. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE CLASSIC WITH A 4.L 6CYLINDER ENGINE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS JEEP WITH 102,000 MILES.ALL SERVICES ALWAYS DONE ON TIME, OIL, BRAKES,FLUSHES, FLUIDS, ECT. MY OIL PRESSURE DROPPED ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING AND MY ANTIFREEZE STARTED DISAPPEARING. I WENT TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A REPAIR SHOP THEY TOLD ME THE CYLINDER HEAD BETWEEN THE 3RD AND THE 4TH CYLINDER HAD A CRACK IN IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY JEEP AND IT WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE MACHINES THAT MADE THE CYLINDER HEADS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND OVER 10,234 BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SO I WENT TO A JEEP DEALER THINKING IT SHOULD BE A RECALL OR DEFECTIVE PART RECALL AND JEEP IS SAYING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT IT WILL COST ME 3200.00 DOLLARS. I FEEL THIS MANY DEFECTIVE PARTS ALL WITH ( EXACT )SAME PROBLEM SHOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT. IT HAS BROKEN AND I HAVE FIXED IT AND BROKEN AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP FOR WELDING AN WHEN THEY TOOK IT OUT THEY FOUND IT WAS ONLY BEING HELD TOGETHER BY FABRIC. I UNDERSTAND THAT VEHICLE PARTS HAVE A LIFESPAN AND SOME REQUIRE THAT THEY BE REPLACED . THE FRAME OF THE DRIVERS SEAT SHOULD NOT BE ONE OF THEM. I'M LOOKING AT A $400-500.00 REPAIR THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED THROUGH A RECALL. THE PRICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT FRAME IS OVER $300.00, NOT COUNTING LABOR. I HAVE LOOKED AT COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON. YOU CAN'T EVEN FIND REPLACEMENT SEATS AT SALVAGE YARDS. THE BIG THREE HAVE BEEN UNDEREGINEERING VEHICLE PARTS FOR YEARS FOR THE PURPOSE OF FUTURE PARTS AND VEHICLE SALES. THIS APPROACH IS A MAJOR REASON THEY ARE IN THE MESS THAT THEY ARE IN. THE GOVERNMENT, INSTEAD OF THROWING MORE BILLIONS AT THEM NEEDS TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, ESPECIALLY IN AN INSTANCE LIKE THIS WHERE ME AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. *TR

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH 151,400 MILES. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WERE (1) RAPID FOGGING OF FRONT WINDSHIELD,(2) FOGGING OF FRONT PASSENGER WINDOWS,(3) FAILURE OF PASSENGER HEAT WHILE STILL MAINTAINING DRIVER HEAT FUNCTION, AND (4) ONLY COLD AIR RELEASE ON PASSENGER SIDE OF JEEP. CONSEQUENTLY,(1) THE WINDSHIELD AND FRONT WINDOWS DO NOT DEFOG, AND (2) NO HEAT WHATSOEVER COMES FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR AND DASHBOARD VENTILATION SYSTEM. TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, A "BLEND AIR DOOR" IS NECESSARY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,200 INCLUSIVE OF 7 HOURS OF LABOR. ACCORDING TO THE CERTIFIED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND ONLINE FORUMS, THIS HAS BECOME A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2000-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITEDS WITH DUEL ZONE VENTILATION SYSTEMS. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2007..IN NOVEMBER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE CAR STARTED TO OVERHEAT HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST AUTO SHOP WHERE THEY SAID THE RADIATOR WAS DAMAGED AND HAD TO BE CHANGED...COUPLE DAYS LATER THE FAN STOPPED WORKING WHICH ALSO HAD TO BE CHANGED. AFTER ALL THE OVER HEATING THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE ENGINE BURNED OUT AND ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER THE FACT MY CAR WOULDNT START. HAD THE TRUCK WORKING FOR A WHILE UNTIL APRIL 2008 WHERE MY TRANSMISSION STARTED FAILING. I KEPT HEARING A CLICKING NOISE AND THE TRUCK WOULDNT ACCELERATE AS FAST IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT COTTMAN TRANSMISSION. AFTER ALL THIS HAD HAPPENED THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULDNT GET MY INSPECTION DONE, TURNED OUT TO BE A HOSE CAUSING AIR TO BE RELEASED. IT IS NOW JANUARY 2009 AND MY TRUCK HAS LEAKED OUT ALL ITS ANTIFREEZE ONCE AGAIN ITS OVER HEATING. ALL IN ALL SINCE SEPTEMBER 2007 I HAVE SPENT OVER $3500-$4000 ON THIS TRUCK. STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE TRUCK FROM COLLEGE HILL AUTO IN PENNSYLVANIA. *TR

THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IN MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND THEN STOPPED. NOW IT JUST BLOWS OUT COLD AIR EVEN WHEN I HAVE THE HEAT ON. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AND I CAN'T FIX IT MY SELF. IT IS A CONSTANT NUISANCE. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS WHERE IT IS FREEZING AND I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK IN A FREEZING CAR. MY DEFROSTER DOESN'T EVEN WORK! HALF THE TIME, I AM RIDING AROUND WITH A FOGGED UP WINDSHIELD WHICH ISN'T SAFE AT ALL. *TR

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE HEATING WORKS FINE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT ONLY COLD AIR BLOWS FROM THE VENTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY INTERNET REVIEW SUGGESTS THAT IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I LOSE HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES ... AND CHRYSLER KNOWS IT. THE FIX IS VERY EXPENSIVE ... BLEND AIR DOOR ACTUATOR, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THIS WILL BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN I AM UNABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL AND FIX! *TR
