I BOUGHT THE 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CAR BRAND NEW, ONE YEAR LATER WE HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS REPLACED, SIX MONTHS LATER WE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS. SIX MONTHS AFTER THAT, THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK ON THE DIVER'S SIDE STARTED MAKING LOUD SCREECHING NOISES WHENEVER YOU LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR, A DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND ESTIMATED $700 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WE'VE BEEN HAVING FRON SUSPENSION PROBLEMS, AND THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A HUMMING SOUND WHEN IT'S IN REVERSE. WHAT'S NEXT?*AK

OUR 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN HAVING REAR END PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST 1 1/2 YEARS. IT STARTED AROUND 45,000 MILES AND WE HAD A CERTIFIED MECHANIC "PATCH IT UP IN NOVEMBER OF 2003. HE SAID IT WAS A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND WE WOULD NEVER HAVE THE NOISE GO AWAY. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US NOT TO DRIVE THE JEEP ANYMORE BEFORE MAJOR REPAIRS ARE DONE ON THE RING AND PINION GEARS AND PIONION BEARINS, A COST OF $1200. WHY ARE THESE VEHICLES NEEDING THIS MAJOR WORK DONE AT ALL, MUCH LESS AT 45,000 MILES ANE NOW 80,000? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER - OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR - SUBSTANDARD PARTS OR WORKMANSHIP HAVE TO BE INVOLVED.*AK

MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS EXPERIENCED BRAKING FAILURES ON AS A RESULT OF FRONT ROTOR DEFECTS. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE FRONT ROTORS WERE REPAIRED BY A JEEP DEALER. IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, THE ROTORS WERE EXCESSIVELY WARPED CAUSING SEVERE FRONT END VIBRATION THAT PRODUCED LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. IN THE SECOND INSTANCE, AND 15000 MILES LATER, THE CONDITION REOCCURRED. IN THIS SECOND CASE, THE DEALER FOUND THE ROTORS TO BE WARPED AGAIN AND REPLACED BOTH THE ROTORS AND THE CALIPERS. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER PLACED THE BLAME ON THE DRIVER, I HAVE HEARD OTHER YEAR 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS COMPLAIN OF IDENTICAL ROTOR FAILURES. IN BOTH CASES, THE DEALER SERVICE AGENT ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY ALTHOUGH OFFERING A DISCOUNTED REPAIR COST.*AK

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN 4 MONTHS AGO AND IT BEGAN LEAKING ANTIFREEZE WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH. I BROUGHT IT TO CREST LINCOLN WHERE I BOUGHT IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT WHY THE ANTIFREEZE WAS LEAKING. THEY INFORMED ME THAT DUE TO THE CAR BEING 3 WEEKS OVER THE WARRANTY, IF SOMETHING WAS INDEED WRONG THEY COULD NOT HELP ME UNLESS I PAID OUT OF POCKET CHARGES. I THEN BROUGHT THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE THE THERMOSTAT. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS NOT OVER HEATING. THE PROBLEM: THE CAR IS STILL LEAKING IN MORE THAN ONE PLACE. TODAY IT WAS A CONTINUAL LEAK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THEIR OWN COST. THE ENGINE IS POSSIBLY CRACKED BUT THEY WILL CHARGE ME $400 TO DO THE DIAGNOSTIC AND I WILL NOT ONLY HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THAT BUT ALSO THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR UNTIL I CAN SETTLE THIS WITH CHRYSLER OR THE DEALER. THIS PRICE WAS ESTIMATED AROUND $6000.00. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 36,000 MILES ON IT.

I AM A INDEPENDENT USED AUTO DEALER IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. I JUST HAD A CUSTOMER, WHO BOUGHT A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4 WITH 48,000 MILES 4 MONTHS AGO, CALL ME TO SAY THAT THE TRANSFER CASE JUST EXPLODED AND DAMAGED THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. ON AT LEAST 3 PRIOR OCCASIONS I HAVE BOUGHT 99-00 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FOR RESALE AND HAD TO REPLACE EITHER THE TRANSFER CASE OR THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN ORDER TO SELL THE VEHICHLE DUE TO EXTREME HOWLING OR GRINDING NOISES COMING FROM THE DIVETRAIN. ALL OF THESE VEHICHLES WERE PURCHASED AT AUCTION FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER FLEET SERVICES AT ADESA GOLDEN GATE AUTO AUCTION WITH FULL GUARANTEE. I WAS RECENTLY INFORMED THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER FLEET SERVICES WILL NO LONGER ARBITATE THE SALE OF ANY MORE OF THESE VEHICHLES BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A FREQUENT OCCURANCE. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND ARE UNWILLING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ALL OF THE VEHICHLES THAT I PUCHASED HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THEM AND AT LEAST ONE WAS UNDER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY LIMIT, BUT OVER THE 3 YEAR LIMIT. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE CAN LOOK INTO THIS, AS IT IS APPARENT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICHLE WHICH DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT 707-443-3008 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
