WITHIN 2 WEEKS BOTH REAR BRAKE/TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. AFTER CHECKING ALL FUSES AND BULBS THE IT WAS FOUND TO BE A FAULTY GROUND CONTACT WITHIN THE LIGHT HOUSING DUE TO POOR DESIGN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED BOTH FIXTURES AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. AFTER IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME 2 WEEKS LATER I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FINDING A REPAIR MESSAGE BOARD WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/VIEWMORECOMMENTS_REVIEW_33943_11.HTML THAT ASSISTED ME IN IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM AND FIXING IT PERMANENTLY. AT THE END IS THE PROCEDURE IDENTIFIED ON THE WEBSITE.FEELING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE (DRIVING AND FIRE HAZARD) I AM REPORTING IT TO ASSIST OTHERS TO FIX THE SITUATION AND MAKING DODGE/JEEP LIABLE FOR REPAIRS. 1REMOVE THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. MOST OF YOU KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IF YOU'VE CHANGED BULBS, SO I WON'T COVER THAT. 2DISCONNECT THE WIRING HARNESS BY SLIDING THE RED LOCKING CLIP TO THE SIDE IN ORDER TO PRESS THE SIDE OF THE MALE CONNECTOR AND PULL APART. 3. ONCE YOU'VE GOT THE TAIL ASSEMBLY AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND ON A BENCH, REMOVE THE LIGHT SOCKET FOR THE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT. YOU WILL SEE 3 SILVER CONTACT POINTS INSIDE THE BLACK PLASTIC RING. 2 ARE GROUPED TOGETHER AND THERE IS ONE THAT IS OPPOSITE OF THE 2. THE ONE BY ITSELF IS THE GROUND; THE OTHER TWO ARE THE CONTACTS FOR THE TAIL LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT. THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE GROUND CONNECTOR. 4 CLEAN ALL CONTACTS WITH A Q-TIP AND SOME SORT OF CONTACT CLEANER. 5. YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT THE GROUND CONTACT IS DEPRESSED INTO THE PLASTIC AND THE PLASTIC ITSELF IS SLIGHTLY WARPED DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO USE A SMALL PAIR OF NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS THAT HAVE A 45 DEGREE ANGLE TO PRESS UP ON THE CONTACT FROM UNDERNEATH USING THE OPPOSITE LIP OF THE HOLE AS LEVERAGE (VERY CAREFULLY).ONCE IT HAD MOVED UP A BIT, I WAS ABLE TO WEDGE A MINI-FLATHEAD SCREWDRIVER IN BETWEEN THE METAL CONTACT AND THE PLASTIC TO FORCE THE CONTACT UP EVEN FURTHER. ONCE IT LOOKED EVEN WITH THE REST, GENTLY REINSERT THE CONNECTOR AND TEST. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON AT NIGHT. IT WORKS FINE WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKE IF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON. I HAVE REPLACED ALL BULBS AND THIS STILL DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NOW THE OTHER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER JEEPS WHILE DRIVING THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE. THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON AND I HAVE TO ADD COOLANT WEEKLY, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAK. MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK WHEN A MECHANIC TOLD ME THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE AND MIXING WITH MY OIL. THE MECHANIC ESTIMATED I WILL NEED A COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE WITHIN A FEW MONTHS SINCE THE COOLANT-OIL MIXTURE HAS BEEN RUNNING THROUGH MY ENGINE FOR SOME TIME NOW. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. MY REAR LEFT BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE ROTORS AND FINALLY HAD THE MECHANIC REPLACE THEM WITH A DIFFERENT KIND. *TR

RECENTLY WAS TOLD, BY ANOTHER MOTORIST WHO FOLLOWED ME TO MY DRIVEWAY, THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. AFTER CHECKING THE USUAL DEFECTS (FUSES, BULBS, RELAYS) AND NOT FINDING ANY PROBLEMS I WENT ONLINE AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND MULTIPLE POSTINGS RELATED TO BRAKE LIGHT FAILURES ON JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (MINE IS A 2000) I WAS ALSO SHOCKED THAT DESPITE REPEATED POSTINGS ON THIS PROBLEM ,DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS, THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THESE VEHICLES THAT CAUSE BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL, LIGHTS THAT ALERT DRIVERS BEHIND YOU THAT YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SLOWING/STOPPING. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? ARE THEY WAITING FOR A TRAGEDY TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING? THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE RESORTING TO HOMEMADE REMEDIES RATHER THAN PAY THE EXCESSIVE COST OF REPLACING A DEFICIENT ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE TROUBLING. I WON'T EVEN GET INTO MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL RANDOMLY WORKING, ALSO MENTIONED ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS. JEEP CAN CONSIDER ITSELF LUCKY THAT I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM BY ANOTHER MOTORIST, RATHER THAN AS A RESULT OF MY VEHICLE BEING REAR-ENDED BY A DRIVER UNAWARE THAT I WAS SLOWING. MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU COULD OFFER IN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

I PURCHASED A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BRAND NEW IN THE YEAR OF 2000. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE HEATING OF THE VEHICLE. OCTOBER OF 2005 NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. JANUARY 23,2007 THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOW AGAIN FEBRUARY 22, 2008 NOW IT'S THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I'M WOUNDING IF THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. ALSO MY RECENT RECALL ABOUT THE ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN, I PAID OUT OF POCKET $836.90 TO REPLACED MY RADIATOR FAN AUGUST 2, 2006. I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THAT EXPENSED BECAUSE IT WAS RECALLED AFTER THE FACT. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE NO HEAT AND CAN'T DEFROST THE WINDOWS. I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE BENDER BOARDS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $1,200/. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP.

MY JEEP HAS 101,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS EXPERIENCING COOLANT LEAKS AND ALSO THE CRACK IN THE CYLINDER HEAD BETWEEN THE 3RD AND 4TH CYLINDER. NOW THE Y WAY I SEE IT, IS THAT IS SOOOOOO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM THEN THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT.
