I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS BROKEN FREE FROM IT'S TRACKS 3 TIMES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST REPAIR I HAVE HAD TO MAKE. THE BACK FRAME OF THE DRIVER SEAT SNAPPED WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES AND ALMOST BROKE MY BACK. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, AS MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A DEATH TO FIX A FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF COLLECTIVE DEFECTS? THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT, WHY NOT PUT SOME OF THAT MONEY TO GOOD USE INSTEAD OF CHRYSLER EXECS POCKETS!!! *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT MOUNTS BROKE AND THE SEAT BRACKET IS CRACKED. ALSO THE BACK RECLINING WILL NOT ADJUST. I HAVE TO PUSH IT FORWARD MANUALLY WHILE PUSHING ELECTRONIC BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE TO KEEP WOOD BEHIND SEAT TO SUPPORT IT, BUT IT STILL ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE. EVERY TIME I DRIVE I RISK FALLING BACK IT'S SCARY BUT TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND EVEN WITH THE$1500 PRICE TAG THERE'S WAITING LISTS FOR PARTS.

THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO START THE CAR IS SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE RESOLUTION TO IT. IT'S A TREMENDOUS SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL HIGHWAYS. THE CAR ATTEMPTS TO TURN OVER WHILE TRYING TO START IT HOWEVER NONE OF THE GAUGES ARE RESPONDING TO THE KEY IN THE IGNITION DURING TURN OVER. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS FORUMS WITH MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO EVERYTHING FROM SENSOR'S TO PCM ( MAIN COMPUTER ) TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN MY CASE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM ISN'T STORING ANY CODES WITH A PROBLEM. INITIALLY I CHANGED THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR BECAUSE OF THE CODE BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE BECAUSE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS SHUT DOWN THERE IS NO POWER STEERING MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GLIDE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. *TR

OWNED THIS JEEP SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW BACK IN 2000. A FEW MONTHS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING, I LEANED MY BODY TOWARDS THE DRIVES SIDE MIRROR TO LOOK AT IT CLOSELY AND SUDDENLY THE RAIL ON MY SEAT SNAPPED! MY INITIAL REACTION WAS TO CATCH MY FALL BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE ONLY THING I WAS HANGING ONTO WAS MY STEERING WHEEL. BAD MISTAKE, BUT IT WAS MORE OF A SUDDEN REACTION THAN AN EDUCATED DECISION. I SWERVED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE NOT KNOWING WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THANKFULLY, IT OCCURRED AT NIGHT AND NOBODY WAS USING ANY OF THE LANES NEXT TO ME ON THE 4 LANE HIGHWAY. AFTER I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT WHAT HAD OCCURRED, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE I HAD SNAPPED THE SEAT RAIL COMPLETELY! WEIGHING IN AT 170LBS, I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE OVERWEIGHT EITHER. AFTER LOOKING AROUND FOR A NEW SEAT RAIL, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE. DEFIANTLY SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THE AMOUNT OF THE SAME, DANGEROUS PROBLEM... *TR

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. MY WIFE WAS PICKING UP MY KIDS, WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN OVERHEATED. I TOOK MY CAR THE MECHANIC, WHO TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR FAN WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE GRAND CHEROKEE. I LOOKED AT YOUR WEBSITE, AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART, BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. I PAID $735 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART, AND CHRYSLER/JEEP SAID THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME BECAUSE OF MY VIN NUMBER. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE NHTSA TO FIND OUT WHY MY JEEP WASN'T COVERED, SINCE THEY HAD NO OTHER INFORMATION FOR ME. I KNOW THAT THE GRAND CHEROKEE FROM 1999 TO 2004 HAS THE SAME EXACT PARTS AND BODY AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY JEEP ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR
