2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

THE IN-DASH HEATER/AC BLEND DOOR IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING AIR FLOW NOT TO BE PROPERLY DIVERTED BETWEEN LOWER DASH VENTS, DASHBOARD VENTS AND DEFROSTER VENTS. THIS IS CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHEREBY THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT CLEAR IN RAINSTORMS AND WILL NOT STAY DEFROSTED IN WINTER DRIVING. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND ALONG WITH DISCUSSIONS WITH A LOCAL DEALER WORKING WITH JEEPS FOR MANY YEARS HAS LED ME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A LONG-KNOWN AND VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. PRICES TO REPLACE THIS BLEND DOOR HAVE RANGED FROM $1000 TO $1500 DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A VERY LABOR INTENSIVE REPLACEMENT. I CONTACT CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT YOU TO IDENTIFY THIS SAFETY CONCERN SO THAT PERHAPS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) COULD BE ISSUED AND CHRYSLER WOULD ADDRESS THE DEFECTIVE BLEND DOOR FOR CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF HER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO INSPECTED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CONTACT SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ON THE MORNING OF TUESDAY, JUNE 5 AND HEARD A LOUD CLICKING SOUND COUPLED WITH A STICKING IN MY STEERING WHEEL AS I TURNED IT TO THE RIGHT. AS I CONTINUED TO MY DRIVE, I NOTICED THE CLICKING AND STICKING ALMOST EVERY TIME I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT (EVEN ON SLIGHT MOTIONS LIKE WHEN PARALLEL PARKING). I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC FOR FEAR THE STEERING WOULD STICK AND I WOULD RAM INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. HE TOLD ME EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE ON THE OUTSIDE (NO SIGNS OF THE TYPICAL WEAR AND TEAR OR ANY OF THE COMMON LEAKAGE PROBLEMS). HOWEVER, HE SAID THIS WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. AFTER CAREFUL INSPECTION HE FOUND THE INTERIOR OF THE GEARBOX CRACKED. WHEN HE LOOKED UP THE PARTS HE SAW THAT THE 2000 AND 2001 STEERING GEAR HAD BEEN RECALLED AND INSTRUCTED ME TO TALK TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER (MY LOCAL DEALER IS THE FIGUEROA LOCATION IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES). WHEN I SPOKE WITH THEM, THEY INFORMED ME MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL PARAMETERS AS IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN DECEMBER 1999. HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM SEEMS FAR MORE REACHING THAN THE SMALL PARAMETERS OF THE DATES OF THE RECALLS. THE SAME PART (#52088272AD) HAS CAUSED THE SAME HAZARDOUS AND COSTLY PROBLEM (STICKING/BINDING/SEIZING) OVER A SPAN OF TWO YEARS OF JEEPS, 2000 AND 2001. THIS SAME PART WAS USED IN JEEPS IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE, THE LOCKS WOULD MAKE A LOUD BANGING SOUND. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHEN SHE USED THE KEYLESS REMOTE. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS JAMMED AND COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES MY HOOD OPENED UP ON ITS OWN AND SLAMMED AGAINST MY WINDSHIELD WHICH CAUSED MY WINDSHIELD TO SHATTER. I WAS NEARLY IN MULTIPLE WRECKS WHILE ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE 90 TO 95% OF MY WINDSHIELD WAS COVERED BY THE HOOD OF MY CAR. THIS WAS BY FAR THE SCARIEST THING THAT I HAVE EVER FACED. I NEARLY LOST MY LIFE ON THE FREEWAY. I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY JEEP AT THE MOMENT AND HONESTLY PREFER NOT TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. I STRONGLY FEEL LIKE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. *TR

LETTER FROM SENATOR RUBIO ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT, RE HIS 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE SAW A REPORT ON THE NEWS ABOUT GAS TANKS EXPLODING IN REAR END COLLISIONS AND WAS CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY. *JB

THE MOTORS ON THE FRONT SEATS WERE BROKEN WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT SEEMED WOBBLY. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE JEEP THE DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKETS GOT WORSE, SHIFTING WHEN I GOT IN AND RECENTLY BROKE THROUGH. AFTER THE BRACKET BROKE, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN GOING OFF WHEN I GO AROUND A CORNER OR CURVE AND THE SEAT SHIFTS. BEGAN RESEARCHING AND FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. I'VE LEFT INSTRUCTIONS WITH MY FAMILY TO SUE JEEP IF I DIE OR GET SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A DIFFERENT CAR AND CAN'T SELL THIS JEEP WITH A BROKEN FRONT SEAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.

REAR HATCH DOOR WON'T LOCK BOTH REAR PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE WON'T LOCK UNLOCK DOOR READ REVIEWS MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

THE SEAT FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO WOBBLE PRECARIOUSLY WHILE DRIVING. I HAD IT WELDED, BUT IT SUBSEQUENTLY BROKE IN ANOTHER PLACE. BASED ON INTERNET RESEARCH, I REPAIRED THAT BREAK WITH A BOLT AND NUT. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE FRAME BROKE IN ANOTHER PLACE. I ATTEMPTED ANOTHER REPAIR, WITH POOR RESULTS. IT HAS NOW BROKEN AGAIN, IN A FOURTH PLACE. THE SEAT FRAME IS MADE OF RATHER THIN STEEL, NOT AS THICK AS THAT OF A GOOD COOKING POT. THE SEAT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED OR MISUSED IN ANY WAY, AND I FIND BY INTERNET RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC DESCRIBED THE SEAT FRAME AS BEING "MADE FROM A SOUP CAN." THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I HESITATE TO REPLACE IT WITH A (QUITE EXPENSIVE) USED REPLACEMENT, AS I FEAR IT WILL ONLY BREAK AGAIN. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BRACKET AT BASE OF SEAT BROKE, THE SEAT IS NO LONGER STABLE, IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT AND SEATBELT COMBINATION COULD PROVE MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE ACCIDENT ITSELF, IF THE BRACKET BREAKS ALL THE WAY WHILE DRIVING THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT!! I AM JUST LEARNING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS A RECALL, VERY DANGEROUS!!! *TR

THE RIGHT FWD SEAT TRACK MOUNT HAS BROKEN ITS WELDS. THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF MY FAMILY ARE ALL NORMAL WEIGHT 195 AND UNDER AND THE VEHICLE IS USED MAINLY FOR ON ROAD TRIPS AND BARELY EVER TRAVELS OFF ROAD. DURING A INTERNET SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT SEAT TRACK THAT YIELDED NO RESULTS AND A DEALER VISIT WITH A QUOTE OF 400 DOLLAR FIX. I HAVE LOST ANY RESPECT FOR THE MANUFACTURER THAT SEEMS TO CUT CORNERS WHERE THEY CAN PUT THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN DANGER BY THE USE OF THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET OR MOUNT IS BROKEN AND THE SEAT IS SET FACING SLIGHTLY TOWARD THE LEFT PILLAR. IN INVESTIGATING THIS SITUATION WE FOUND THAT BRACKET FAILURE IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS MODEL. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND WARRANTS A RECALL DUE TO ITS FREQUENCY. THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE AND SHE IS UNSURE ABOUT WHEN THE FAILURE FIRST OCCURRED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE DRIVERS FRONT SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED THE SEAT AND FOUND THAT THE METAL FRAME HAD CRACKED IN THREE PLACES. I DID SOME TEMPORARY REPAIRS WHICH DID NOT LAST VERY LONG. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND IS A DANGEROUS. ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME WITH THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS HANGING LOWER THAN NORMAL.

THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 153,000.

THE BRACKET UNDER THE SEAT SNAPPED IN A FEW DIFFERENT PLACES, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS BAD WELDING. I FOUND ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED TO WELD IT BACK INTO PLACE, BUT IT ONLY BREAKS AGAIN AND AGAIN. IT MAKES MY SEAT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND IT USED TO SQUEAK, BUT I FOUND A WAY TO FIX THE SQUEAK ON MY OWN. THE WHOLE SEAT MOVES FORWARD BECAUSE THE BACK IS NOT ATTACHED AT ALL, VERY UNSAFE. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN, NOT DUE TO ABUSE OR ANY USE OUTSIDE OF NORMAL USE. *TR

WE HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM FLORIDA IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010. WE HAD IT HERE IN NY FOR 2 DAYS BEFORE THE PROBLEMS STARTED. WE LOST ALL OF OUR GAUGES, ALL OF OUR WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, POWER WINDOWS DONT WORK, POWER MIRRORS DONT WORK, COMMAND CENTER GOES DOWN, DOOR LOCKS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. CHRYSLER JEEP IS VERY UNHELPFUL. WE HAVE PUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THE YEARS 99-2005. IT IS GIVING US A P1686 CODE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

THIS VEHICLE DID MUCH LIKE THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S COMPLAINT'S WITH THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I HAD PULLED IN TO A PARKING SPACE AND THE SEAT JUST COLLAPSED. I'M FORTUNATE THAT I WASN'T DRIVING BUT TRYING TO PARK. WHY HAVEN'T NHTSA ENTERED A RECALL ON THIS??? I'M TRYING TO GET THE SEAT WELDED AS I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER SEAT OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. AS LONG AS I'VE OWNED CARS I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY SEAT JUST BREAKING APART LIKE THIS ONE DID. SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. THE FRAME SHOULDN'T GIVE WAY LIKE THIS. IT MUST BE FAILURE ON THE TYPE OF STEEL THAT IS BEING USED ON THE FRAMES. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE SEAT IN PLACE HAVE GIVEN WAY. THE SEAT NOW ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE & FRONT TO BACK. IT NEEDS SOME SERIOUS REPAIR. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT IT DID. I HOPE NOTHING WORSE HAPPENS TO THE SEAT AS I TRY TO FIND SOME WAY TO REPAIR IT. ALMOST 3,000 PEOPLE ON ONE WEBSITE ALONE HAVE REPORTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BRACKETS ON JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. (HTTP://VLANE.COM/POLL/30/2001-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-HAS-YOUR-DRIVER-SIDE-FRONT-SEAT-BROKEN-ON-THIS-JEEP) THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THIS FAULTING DESIGN & MANUFACTURING.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND HAVING DONE HOURS OF RESEARCH I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS. MY ALARM IS FAULTY AND OFTEN DOES NOT START, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE VEHICLE IN OVER A WEEK. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING JEEP TOLD ME TO DO TO OVERRIDE ALARM, IT DOES NOT WORK. I ALSO HAVE A "QUACK" IN MY DOOR LOCKS. I SUSPECT I WILL NEED A NEW ACTUATOR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR IS NOT A RECALL ON ANY OF THESE THINGS, I HAVE READ LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEMS IN THESE CARS AND IT COSTS ALOT OF TIME, MONEY AND FRUSTRATION TO FIX. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP NOR WILL I EVER RECOMMEND A JEEP. *TR

I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND FORM CUSTOMER SERVICE AT CHRYSLER. I HAVE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE,AND WAS PLANNING ON BUYING ANOTHER. BUT>>> COMMENTS: --------- MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A 4L ENGINE STALLS WHEN TURNING LEFT IF THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK IS BELOW 1/4. THE VIN NUMBER IS; [XXX] THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I AM NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LAST WEEK I HAD THE LOCAL DEALER CHECK THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID IF IT WERE THE SENSING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK, IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF, NOT THE SENSOR, AND THEREFORE, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AROUND $1000.00 TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PUMP, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PICKUP DEVICE WHENTHE TANK LEVEL DROPS BELOW 1/4, AND THIS HAPPENS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL WEB SITES AND FOUND QUITE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION. I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AT 1-800-992-1997 AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO SPEAK WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-853-1403. WHEN I CALLED THIS NUMBER I SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE AND I EXPLAINED WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS TOO OLD FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HIS SUPERIOR, AND WAS DENIED A NAME. WHEN I ASKED FOR A NAME, SHE ASKED "IS ANYTHING ELSE I CAN HELP YOU WITH AND TOLD ME THANKS FOR CALLING. THIS IS NOT AN ANOMALY WITH MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, ACCORDING TO THE SITES I VISIT
