VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LMT. HEATER PROBLEM. I HAVE A DUAL CONTROL SYSTEM, THAT IS ONLY HEATING ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND THE COST OF REPAIR IS OUTRAGEOUS, THE PART IS SEMI REASONABLE, BUT THE LABOR AND LOCATION MAKES IT EXTREMELY COSTLY. THIS IS A DANGER IN TERMS OF VISIBILITY AND I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, SO IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. *TR

THE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL HAS BEEN NOT FUNCTIONAL DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR IS STOCK ON VENT. THIS HAS CAUSED ME GREAT DISCOMFORT AND SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE I CAN NOT CIRCULATE ANY WARM AIR IN MY CAR OR DEFROST. I SINCERELY HOPE JEEP DOES A RECALL, NOT ONLY TO KEEP VALUED CUSTOMERS, BUT TO PREVENT ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DEFROST IS COMPLETELY DISFUNCTIONAL. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT ON MY 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE BROKE. THE METAL OR DESIGN IS FAULTY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS WAS A UNIQUE PROBLEM, BUT THE MORE I RESEARCHED ONLINE, I FOUND DISCUSSION FORUMS WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OTHER OWNERS OF 2000 GRAND CHEROKEES HAVE SAID THAT THEIR SEATS HAVE FULLY BROKEN OFF WHILE DRIVING AND HAVE ENDED UP IN THE BACK SEAT ALMOST CAUSING A FATAL ACCIDENT. MY SEAT IS ONLY PARTIALLY BROKEN RIGHT NOW, IT WAS ALREADY WELDED ONCE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS HURT. *TR

THIS IS A COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. MY HUSBAND NOTICED A WOBBLE IN THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT AND WITHIN 2 DAYS (BEFORE HE COULD TAKE IT IN) THE SEAT BECAME UNATTACHED JUST AS HE WAS DRIVING UP A STEEP AND CURVY HILL. HE IS AROUND 270 POUNDS, WELL BELOW THE 400 POUND LIMIT. LUCKILY HE WAS GOING VERY SLOW AS IT IS A STEEP HILL THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. HE LANDED IN THE LAP OF MY 6-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, CRUSHING HER LEGS AGAINST HER BOOSTER SEAT, WHICH CAUSE EXTENSIVE BRUISING. WHILE SHE WAS NOT SERIOUSLY OR PERMANENTLY HURT - THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE OR FATAL IF IT HAPPENED UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND WAS ASTOUNDED BY THE NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH CHRYSLER BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET INJURED OR FATALITIES OCCUR. *TR

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND PURCHASED IT USED 4 YEARS AGO. A YEAR AGO MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BEGAN SQUEAKING AND SLOWLY ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SEAT SIMPLY SNAPPED, SENDING ME RECLINING INTO THE BACKSEAT AREA. LUCKILY I WAS UNHARMED AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. AFTER REVIEWING THE STRUCTURE UNDER THE SEAT, I DISCOVERED THAT THE METAL FRAME HAD SIMPLY CRACKED. AT $1000 TO REPAIR AS QUOTED BY A DEALER, I SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD TO DO SO AND I HAVE CONSTRUCTED A HOMEMADE DEVICE OF 2X4'S THAT HAS SUFFICED FOR THE TIME BEING. HOWEVER, THE SEAT CONTINUES TO ROCK SIDE TO SIDE AND WHEN I GO AROUND CORNERS I HAVE TO LEAN HEAVILY AGAINST THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. SIMPLY PUT, THE SEAT IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER OF JEEPS AND EVERY CAR ON THE ROADS AROUND THEM. I LOVE MY JEEP BUT IF I HAD BEEN INJURED OR KILLED, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY CULPABLE DUE TO THEIR FAILED PRODUCT. *TR

JEEP 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO INLINE 6CYL I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED LOW COOLANT AND OIL PRESSURE PROBLEMS. I HAD THE WATER PUMP REPLACED, THE OIL SENSOR SWITCH REPLACED, AND THE OIL PUMP REPLACED. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE INDIVIDUALLY IN THAT ORDER. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING LOW COOLANT ALTHOUGH THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO OVERHEAT. I RECENTLY HAD A PRESSURE TEST AND THERE WERE NO LEAKS. WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED IN THE MORNING I HAVE THE PROPER OIL PRESSURE. AS SOON AS THE CAR WARMS UP THE OIL PRESSURE FLUCTUATES AND EVENTUALLY ACTIVATES THE ALERT INDICATOR (BELL SOUND). THE ENGINE SOUNDS FINE AND THERE ARE NO PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION THAT DID THE REPAIRS. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT I USE A HEAVIER OIL FOR THE PRESSURE PROBLEM. I WILL LET YOU KNOW THE RESULTS. THIS MAY BE THE LAST ATTEMPT BEFORE AN ENGINE OVERHAUL. JEEP SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS. *TR
