I BOUGHT A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOESN'T BLOW WARM AIR IT BLOW COLD AIR AND DON'T DEFOG MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WHEN IM DRIVING. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVAINA ITS COLD UP HERE AND IT SNOWS. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND HATE TO HAVE TO DRIVE MY DAUGHTER AROUND IN A COLD JEEP ALSO AN UNSAFE ONE WHEN MY HEATER DON'T DEFROST THIS SIDE OF MY JEEP THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED TO BE FIXED. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT IN MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, GOT WOBBLY AND EVENTUALLY BROKEN ONE SIDE OF THE RAILS TO THE POINT WHERE THE SEAT HAS BECOME DANGEROUSLY WOBBLY AND UNCOMFORTABLE TO SIT IN. *TR

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO , I WAS DRIVING TO WORK 80 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY SEAT DRIVER BROKE I NEARLY CRASHED I SPUN THREE TIMES BEFORE COMING TO A STOP...... TWO DAYS LATER MY BOTHERS DRIVER SEAT BROKE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. I AM EVEN CONSIDERING LEGAL ACTION. I COULD HAVE DIED, TRY TO EXPLAIN THAT TO MY WIFE THAT I DIED BECAUSE THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE. *TR

NO EVENT CAUSED THIS FAILURE . CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ACCIDENT OR MISUSED EVER. THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE FREE FROM THE SLIDERS. METAL ACTUALLY RIPPED AROUND BOLTS. CAUSED SEAT TO FALL BACKWARD AS I WAS DRIVING. CURRENTLY HAVE SEAT CLAMPED TO SEAT BRACKET AS I LOOK FOR NEW ONES. JEEP SWEARS ITS NOT A BIG PROBLEM AS IT MADE MILLIONS OF GRAND CHEROKEES. SEATS CAN'T BE FOUND IN JUNK YARDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. I WONDER HOW MANY HAVE BEEN INJURED OR DIED BECAUSE OF ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY SEAT FAILURE. GUESS ITS HARD TO TELL AS I AM SURE FAILURE OF SEAT BLAMED ON ACCIDENT MOST OF TIME. *TR

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DRIVER SEAT FRAME BROKE. BEGAN WOBBLING THEN CRACKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE SEAT TO FALL FORWARD THEN BACKWARDS. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4. ABOUT A YEAR OR MORE AGO, MY FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN TO "WOBBLE"... IT WAS ONLY A VERY MINUSCULE AMOUNT AT FIRST, BUT HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED IN SEVERITY AND IS NOW A COMPLETELY BROKEN SEAT. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT CAN COMPLETELY BE LIFTED UP ON ITS SIDE AND IS FULLY DETACHABLE. THE BRACKETS AND SEAT MOUNT UNDER THE SEAT HAVE BROKEN COMPLETELY AND THE METAL IS SNAPPED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AS THE DRIVER SEAT MAY COMPLETELY DETACH SPORADICALLY DURING OPERATION. VISITING A BODY SHOP AT THE BEGINNING OF 2010 I WAS TOLD THAT REPLACING THE SEAT WOULD COST AT LEAST $500.00 AND THAT THE MOST COST EFFICIENT METHOD WOULD BE TO CONSIDER A REPLACEMENT SEAT FROM THE JUNK YARD. AS I BEGAN SEARCHING AROUND FOR SEATS, I BEGAN TO NOTICE A VERY STRANGE PATTERN: ALL THE JEEP'S WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL FROM ABOUT 1999 TO AT LEAST 2003 OR 2004 HAD THEIR FRONT SEATS ALREADY MISSING WITHIN A MATTER OF DAYS UPON THEIR INITIAL ARRIVAL TO THE JUNK YARD. IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A DRIVER'S SEAT THAT WOULD FIT MY MAKE AND MODEL BECAUSE OTHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY WERE. CONFRONTED WITH THIS IRONY, I BEGAN TO SEARCH ONLINE FOR REMEDIES TO MY ISSUE AND TO SEE IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAD FACED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR JEEPS. I WAS ASTONISHED AND DEEPLY DISTURBED TO FIND THEIR WAS A WEB PAGE FILLED WITH COMMENTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND IN SOME CASES, THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAD DETACHED

WHILE DRIVING MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, THE JEEP JUST STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. ONCE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. A SAFETY PROBLEM. ONCE IT SITS FOR AWHILE IT WILL START AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SEAT FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. HE THEN CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED TO REPORT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

NO DEFROST OR HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE, CANNOT SEE THRU PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHEILD WHEN ICED OR FOGGGED UP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DEFROST FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED HIM THAT THE HEAT BLENDER DOORS WERE BROKEN AND WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY NOR WERE THERE ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE STOPPED, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANG. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE FAN BLADE FOR THE MOTOR HAD SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 06V199000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: COOLING SYSTEM: FAN). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

SEAT BRACKETS UNDER DRIVER SEAT HAVE BROKEN, WHICH CAUSES SEAT TO MOVE WHEN GOING AROUND BENDS, GETTING IN AND OUT OF SEAT. THE WAY THE BRACKET HAS BROKEN, THE SEAT CAN PHYSICALLY BE LIFTED UP OFF THE FLOOR. WE REMOVED THE SEAT, THERE IS ONLY 1 OF THE 4 BRACKETS NOT BROKEN, SO IF THE LAST ONE WOULD BREAK THE SEAT COULD TIP OVER OR FALL BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS. IF YOU WOULD GO AROUND A BEND, YOU WOULD EITHER HIT UP AGAINST THE DOOR OR AGAINST THE CONSOLE DEPENDING ON WHICH DIRECTION YOU TURN. IF YOU WOULD HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES THE SEAT WOULD FLY FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. WE HAVE FIXED THE SEAT ONCE BY REWELDING THE BRACKETS, AND THEY BROKE AGAIN, SO WE NOW HAVE COMPLETELY REPLACED THE SEAT WITH A SEAT FROM A DIFFERENT JEEP. AFTER THE INITIAL REPAIR, IT TOOK ABOUT A YEAR FOR IT TO BREAK AGAIN. *TR

HEATER BLEND DOORS BROKE NO HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE, POWER WIRES FRAYED AND PLUG STARTING TO MELT FOR HEATER POWER

WIRING UNDER DASH THAT RUNS HEATER GETTING HOT MELTED BOX THAT CONTAINS ELECTRIC WIRES. *TR

LITTLE TO NO HEAT. MAINLY I AM GETTING VERY LITTLE HEAT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE (NOT BLOWING LIKE DRIVERS SIDE AND DRIVERS SIDE AS WELL AS PASSENGER SIDE NOT HEATING AS IT SHOULD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT WAS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE WHEN HE HEARD A NOISE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. WHEN HE STARTED DRIVING, THE SEAT BEGAN WOBBLING OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN HE INSPECTED IT, HE NOTICED TWO CRACKS IN THE SEAT FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO REPAIR THE ENTIRE FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

IN 2007, MY REAR TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THEY WOULD NOT WORK IF THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE TURNED ON. HOWEVER IF THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE OFF THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS WERE WORKING. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT THAT INFORMS YOU OF THIS FAILURE AND SO IT WAS NOT UNTIL I WAS STOPPED BY THE POLICE THAT I WAS EVEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I GOT THE REAR LIGHTS REPLACED, NOT KNOWING THEN THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. HOWEVER, NOW THREE YEARS LATER, THE LIGHTS HAVE FAILED AGAIN. SAME EXACT PROBLEM. NO WARNING LIGHTS, IT JUST SO HAPPENED A FAMILY MEMBER SAW THAT MY LIGHTS WERE OUT. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM KNOWN BY JEEP/CHRYSLER.

DRIVERS SEAT APPARENTLY CRACKS, STARTS SQUEAKING, WOBBLES AND THEN BREAKS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE WELDED THREE TIMES NOW AND EACH TIME IT LASTS FROM A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO A COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. IT HAS NOW BROKEN FOR THE FORTH TIME. ELECTRIC SEAT MOTOR ALSO FAILS TO LIFT THE SEAT UNDER ITS OWN POWER WITHOUT HELPING BY PULLING THE SEAT FORWARD WHILE SELECTING THE SEAT FORWARD POSITION ON THE SEAT MOTOR CONTROL. *TR

WITHOUT ANY PRIOR SIGNS, THE FRAME ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FRONT SEAT MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BROKE. IT APPEARS THAT THE METAL NEAR THE BOLT WAS WEAK AND SIMPLY SNAPPED. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY I HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT TURNING INTO A ROCKING CHAIR YET BUT I FEAR THAT IT IS INEVITABLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING. I FIND IT DISGUSTING THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT DONE A RECALL ON AN ISSUE THAT RANGES FOR A NUMBER OF MODEL YEARS AND IS INSTEAD FORCING US TO PAY TO MAKE OUR CARS MINIMALLY SAFE. WHEN YOU PURCHASE A CAR, YOU DON'T EXPECT THE METAL IN IT TO JUST BREAK! *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS NO HEAT, DUE TO THE BLEND DOOR MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD. IS RIDDLED WITH SAFETY PROBLEMS. CHIEF AMONG THEM IS THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME. BOTTOM PART OF THE SEAT FRAME HAS BUSTED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND DAIMLER/CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. NEW SEATS ARE NOT EASY TO FIND AND IF YOU CAN FIND ONE THE PRICE IS ASTRONOMICALLY OUTRAGEOUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT WOULD FEEL LOOSE FOR SOME TIME BEFORE FRACTURING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000. UPDATED 01/13/11*LJ THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE FAILURE WAS DUE SOLELY DUE TO INADEQUATE MATERIAL USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE SEAT FRAME AND MOUNT ASSEMBLIES. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE MOUNT WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM CHRYSLER. UPDATED 01/25/11. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.

THE STEEL BRACKET WHICH ATTACHED THE SEAT TO THE FRAME SNAPPED AND BROKE. UPDATED 03/17/11

THE TABS THAT HOLD MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT TO THE TRACK ASSEMBLY ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAVE COMPLETELY BROKEN. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED $500+ TO FIX THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE MERGING ONTO I-75 NEAR ATLANTA AND I WOUND UP LAYING IN MY BACK SEAT. I KNOW THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS ISSUE AS I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL FORUMS AND JUNK-YARDS ALL OF WHOM REPORT THE IT AS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. CHRYSLER'S CHOSEN VIEWPOINT OF NOT FIXING A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

THE METAL FRAME HOLDING THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN PLACE BROKE IN TWO PLACES. *TR

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH SAFETY RECALL #F25 (ELECTRIC FAN). ON OCTOBER 20, 2010, I WENT TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP DUE TO A COOLANT LEAKAGE. THE REPAIR SHOP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A DAMAGED RADIATOR DUE TO THE ELECTRIC FAN BREAKING INTO PIECES AND CAUSING THE LEAKAGE. I PAID THEM $259.00 FOR THE NEW RADIATOR. I WAS INFORMED OF THE SAFETY RECALL AND I DECIDED TO GO TO THE RIVERDALE CHRYSLER JEEP LOCATED AT 5869 BROADWAY BRONX NY 10463. AFTER A GENERAL INSPECTION THEY NOTICED THE SHROUD WAS ALSO DAMAGED AND REFUSED TO REPAIR/REPLACE STATING THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED. I AM REQUESTING FULL COVERAGE OF ALL RELATED PARTS AND LABOR AS THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE FAN FAILURE. I AM FURTHER REQUESTING A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST OF THE NEW INSTALLED RADIATOR AND I CAN FURNISH A RECEIPT AS PROOF. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE HANDLING MY VEHICLE IS [XXX] EMPLOYEE [XXX]TEL# 718 548-3400 EXT#305. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. ALL OF THEM MAKE A LOUD "QUACK" NOISE WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK OR LOCK THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE ENTRY OR FROM THE DOOR. THE REAR HATCH CAN NO LONGER BE OPENED AND BOTH PASSENGER DOORS HAVE TO BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY. THE DRIVER DOORS HAVE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF ONLINE BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE IN ORDER FOR JEEP TO STEP UP AND FIX THEIR WRONG DOING? I AM HOPING YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR

ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, I HEARD A SNAP AND FELT THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY DRIVER'S SEAT IN MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO BECOME LOOSE AND WOBBLE. TODAY, 10/17/ 2010, AS I EXITED MY JEEP I HEARD ANOTHER SNAP AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BOLTS CONNECTING MY SEAT TO THE VEHICLE HAD BROKEN. THE SEAT IS COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. I WEIGH 185 LBS AND HAVE BEEN THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE SINCE AUGUST 2004. THE SAFETY ISSUE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT I ALONG WITH THE SEAT COULD BE EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO AND HORN TO FAIL AS WELL. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEATBELTS DON'T RETRACT. HE ALSO EXPERIENCED FAILURES WITH THE FOG LIGHT AND THE COOLING FAN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WITH THE COOLING FAN FAILURE AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE RADIATOR; BUT, THE FAILURE WASN'T CORRECTED. REPORT 19961050 WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN RECALL 06V199000 ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: COOLING SYSTEM: FAN AND THEY WOULD REIMBURSE HIM FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WASN'T REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

ALL 1999-2002 GRAND CHEROKEE WJ MODELS BUILT THROUGH MAY 10, 2002 CAME EQUIPPED WITH BRAKE CALIPERS MADE BY TEVES. THEY ARE BLACK IN COLOR WITH AN OPEN-SIDED BRACKET DESIGN. DUE TO POOR CALIPER CENTERING, THE TEVES CALIPERS CAUSED THE ROTORS TO WARP, A PROBLEM THAT HAS PLAGUED GRAND CHEROKEES. AT THE VERY END OF THE 2002 MODEL YEAR, JEEP CHANGED TO "FULLY-CLOSED" STYLE CALIPERS DESIGNED BY AKEBONO. TO ADDRESS THE WARPED ROTOR PROBLEM JEEP ISSUED A TSB, #05-003-02. WE BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL DO TO THE MAJOR WHEEL SHAKE TO THE POINT OF THE DRIVER ALMOST LOOSING CONTROL OF THE SUV DO TO THIS VIBRATION. JEEP HAS LONG KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE & WAS SUED IN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WHICH THEY SETTLED THE PROBLEM IS EXCESSIVE ROTOR THICKNESS VARIATION GENERATED BY POOR CALIPER CENTERING. THIS CAUSES STEERING WHEEL SHAKE. GRAND CHEROKEE BRAKES UP THROUGH MAY 10TH 2002 WERE DESIGNED BY TEVES. SAME BRAKES USED ON BMW & FORD EXPEDITION BUT THE GRAND CHEROKEE WAS THE FIRST TO USE A TWIN PISTON CALIPER DESIGN. CHRYSLER WANTED TWIN PISTONS BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CALIPER SPRING CAUSES THE INBOARD PAD TO DRAG. IT TAKES A LOT OF HEAT (CHERRY RED) TO WARP ROTORS, SO THE MAIN CAUSE OF ROTOR VARIATION IS NOT HEAT BUT UNEVEN WEAR. *TR

MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 90,000 MILES HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH DEFROSTING AND HEATING FOR THE PAST YEAR. WHEN IT IS COLD OR RAINY THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT CLEAR NOT MATTER WHAT SETTINGS I USE. I GET SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATING ON MY FOGGY WINDSHIELD AND I AM FORCED TO PULL OVER IN DANGERS CONDITIONS AND SCRAP MY WINDOWS. RECENTLY MY HEAT HAS STOPPED WORKING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND I LOOKED FOR INFORMATION ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS FORUMS WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED FOR YEARS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DAIMLER CHRYSLER ONLY TO BE TOLD IT WAS A COMFORT ISSUE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS S SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET HURT OR WORSE. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIPS ARE WILLING TO CHARGE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO 'FIX' PROBLEMS BUT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THEY NEVER FIX THE PROBLEM AND CUSTOMERS ARE TAKING UNNECESSARY RISKS TO DRIVE THEIR SUV'S (SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLES, IRONICALLY) WITHOUT HEAT, DEFROST AND/OR COOLING. PLEASE TAKE THIS COMPLAINT SERIOUSLY AND LOOK AND SEE HOW MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS YOU HAVE GOTTEN ON THE SAME ISSUES WITH THESE CARS. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR AND I DO NOT WANT TO OUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHERS AT RISK BECAUSE ONE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO FIX SUCH A BLATANT SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR

THE BRACKET OF MY SEAT FRAME THAT HOLD ON MY SEAT OF MY GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 2000 BROKE, ALL THREE OF THEM ARE BROKEN, I FELT SOMETHING OFF WITH THE SEAT BUT NEVER SAW ANYTHING, AND TODAY THE SEAT GOT OUT OF PLACE COMPLETELY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, I CHECK ON THE INTERNET AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS STILL EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHICH I'VE HAD FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS NOW. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE BRACKET ON MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT BROKE. I REPLACED IT AND ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER THE METAL SEAT FRAME ON THE SAME SIDE BROKE AND I'M IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING FOR REPLACEMENT. APPARENTLY FROM WHAT I'VE GATHERED ONLINE THROUGH NUMEROUS WEBSITE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP. POOR QUALITY...VERY UNSAFE. *TR

A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SEAT OF MY 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE BEGAN TO MAKE POPPING NOISES WHEN I WOULD TURN CORNERS OR ACCELERATE. JUST THE OTHER DAY WHEN I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND MY DRIVERS SEAT TURNED INTO A ROCKING CHAIR. IT TIPPED ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BACK SEAT NEARLY CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL AND CRASH INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME A PRICE OF MORE THAN A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE SEAT BRACKET. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM AND WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL? DOES IT TAKE PEOPLE BEING KILLED TO GET SOMETHING DONE? I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PUT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO MY JEEP AT THIS TIME AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SEATS WELDED BUT THE WELDS DO NOT HOLD. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. AFTER I HIT 100K MILES MY AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY CHIMES. THERE SEEMS TO BE A GREAT DEAL OF JEEP USERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE CLOCK SPRING SENSOR. WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T REPLACE OR SEEK REPAIR FOR THIS? IS THERE SOMETHING THAT GM CAN DO TO RECALL THE PART? I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MORE THAN JUST MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT HAS A RAIL ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE WHERE THE BOLT WILL BREAK THROUGH THE RAIL CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INJURE THEMSELVES AND OTHERS IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED THE SQUEAKY SOUNDS THAT HAPPEN JUST BEFORE THE BREAK. I DID A SEARCH FOR COMPLAINTS ON SEVERAL WEBSITES AND FOUND AT LEAST 1500 COMPLAINTS ON THE THIS SUBJECT, PER WEBSITE. WHY ARE WE WAITING FOR A DEATH OR INJURY FOR THE DEALER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?? THIS PROBLEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO SO!! FROM THE INVESTIGATING I HAVE DONE NO ONE COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM BUT THE MANUFACTURER ITSELF. THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE RAIL. I WILL NOT DO THIS AT MY OWN COST. I WOULD ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO COMPLAIN HERE AND CHRYSLER CORPORATE. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT TRACK/BRACKET AND BOLTS THAT BOLTS THE SEAT TO THE UNIBODY FRAME BROKE DURING NORMAL OPERATION. *TR

I THINK IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT A DRIVERS SEAT CAN COMPLETELY BREAK FROM EVERYDAY USE . MY SEAT ( AND HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THAT I'VE SEEN ON-LINE) JUST DECIDED TO BREAK ONE DAY . WELDS - WELDS- I'M A WELDER AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A CAR - 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE - CAN BE PUT ON THE MARKET AND A TOTAL FAILURE OF A DRIVERS SEAT CAN OCCUR . IT IS JUST INEXCUSABLE AND I CANT BELIEVE THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL FOR THIS . I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED FROM THIS DEFECT . I'M SURE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY AND MANY OTHERS SEVERELY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS HORRIBLE FAILURE . I SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT THIS HAPPENS TO . I'VE OWNED MANY CARS AND HAVE MANY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WHO HAVE OWNED CARS AND NOT ONE HAS EVER HAD A SEAT WHERE THE WELDS COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF - JUST BROKE AT ALL THE WELDS - LIKE THE 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE . YOU WANT PROOF ? GO ONLINE AND GOOGLE SEARCH THIS TOPIC AND YOU WILL SEE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS . I WAS NOT ABLE TO RE-WELD THIS SEAT BECAUSE THE DAMAGE WAS SO SEVERE . I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT NEW .... BECAUSE NO JUNK YARDS OR ONLINE SERVICES ( E-BAY ) HAVE ANY USED ONES AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD . THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS- VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE . I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN ONE . I'M SURE IF YOU STRESS - TESTED THIS VEHICLE YOU WOULD HAVE FOUND THE DEFECT IN THE FIRST PLACE . I'M ONL

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE: WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, THE LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT RAIL DETACHED FROM THE FLOOR RAIL. THE STEEL WAS WEAK AND THE BOLT HOLDING IT DOWN APPEARS TO HAVE "RIPPED" RIGHT THROUGH THE STEEL RAIL. NOW THE FRONT LEFT CORNER OF THE SEAT MOVES UP AND DOWN ABOUT SIX INCHES. THIS IS, HOPEFULLY, A ONE-TIME FAILURE, BUT VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVEN'T FOUND A REPLACEMENT YET. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
