I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WERE I FIRST EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS IN OCT 2012 WITH THE HARNESS WIRES AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED THE WIRES INSIDE THEN AGAIN 4 MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I JUST HAD THEM REPLACE THEM A 3RD TIME 03/13 /13 AND AFTER 2 WEEKS OF HAVING IT HOME NOW MY JEEP WONT START I HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID I NEED A CRANK SHAFT SENSOR REPLACED I HAVE THEM REPLACE IT AND THEY TELL ME IT WASN'T THE PROBLEM THAT NOW I NEED TO CHANGE THE PCM SO I BOUGHT THE PART AND PUT IT IN 650 LATER CAR STILL NO START SO NOW I CHANGED THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND STILL TRIES TO START BUT JUST WONT I AM STRESSED I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND NO CAR NOW I CANT KEEP DISHING OUT MONEY TO THESE DEALERS FOR FIXES THAT AREN'T NECESSARY I REALLY NEED SOME HELP. *TR

ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND LOCKS STOPPED WORKING. FOUND BROKEN WIRE IN DRIVER SIDE DOOR HARNESS. REPAIRED THE WIRE AND THEN RF DOOR HARNESS WIRES BROKEN. REPAIRED THOSE WIRES AND NOW HARNESS CONTACT IN RF DOOR PANEL CONNECTION IS FAULTY. WINDOW AND LOCKS DO NOT WORK UNLESS YOU WRIGGLE CONNECTOR. RR DOOR DOES NOT LOCK. REPLACE WINDOW AND DOOR SWITCH BUT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AN EVENFLO DISCOVERY 209 CHILD RESTRAINT SEAT, MANUFACTURED JUNE 2007. THE CHILD SEAT WAS BEING UTILIZED IN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LEVER THAT TIGHTENED THE STRAPS WAS FRACTURED, CAUSING THE ENTIRE SAFETY SEAT TO BECOME UNUSABLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CHILD WAS NOT IN THE SAFETY SEAT AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED.

SEAT BRACKET IS BROKEN, RESULTING IN ENTIRE SEAT BEING LOOSE. REPAIRED A FEW YEARS BACK AT THE DEALER BY REPLACING ENTIRE BRACKET. OBVIOUSLY, THE PART IS DEFECTIVE, AS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING IN THE NHTSA ON LINE DATABASE. *TR

FIRST STARTED IN NOV 2009 DRIVER SIDE DOOR CONTROLS WON'T WORK, DOME LIGHTS GO ON WITH HEADLIGHTS, REPAIRED BROKEN WIRE. JUNE 2010, DRIVERS DOOR IS INOPERABLE WINDOW STUCK DOWN, CANNOT LOCK DOORS, REPAIRED WIRING HARNESS IN DOOR. DEC. 2011 WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS WERE INOPERABLE. - MADE WIRING REPAIR., JAN 2013 DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS INOPERABLE, DOME LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING OR ELSE YOU LOOSE CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS.-REPAIRED DOOR HARNESS IN RR AND RF DOORS-WAS TOLD THIS IS LAST TIME THEY CAN REPAIR HARNESSES AND NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS IT WILL COST $2,000 TO REPLACE ALL WIRING. THIS SEEMS RIDICULOUS AND THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WITH JEEPS. I DO NOT SEE HOW THIS SHOULD KEEP MALFUNCTIONING IF NO DAMAGE OR ABUSE HAS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLE AND REPAIR THE WIRING HARNESS AT NO CHARGE UNTIL THEY COME UP WITH A BETTER SYSTEM OF WIRING HARNESSES THROUGH THE DOORS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE . THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V527000(AIR BAGS) AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIRS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THAT THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE AT A LATER DATE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

AS I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE JEEP WOULD NOT MOVE IT WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I NOTICED THAT THE PNRD WERE ALL LIT UP. I HAD TO STOP AND PUT CAR IN PARK THEN TRY AGAIN AND IT WORKED HOWEVER WHEN I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY IT DID THE SAME THING. WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED MY MECHANIC BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CODE WAS P0700. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT ALOT OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON IT. *TR

I WAS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE AND THE SEAT FRAME BROKE DISLODGING THE SEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT, LEFT SIDE FRONT AND REAR BRACE HOLDING SEAT TO FLOOR CRACKED APART. I HAVE READ THAT MANY JEEPS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM OF SEPARATION DUE TO INFERIOR / THIN STEAL AS THE BRACKET. FIXING IS BY WELDING - DOES NOT HOLD AND ENTIRE BRACKET HOLDING THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAD A COLLISION WITH A DEER AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK, AND MY STEERING WAS DYSFUNCTIONAL! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FAILED TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDOW CONTROL MODULE FAILED TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE WINDOWS AND THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

MY JEEP BRAKE LIGHTS ARE DEFECTIVE. WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES, THE TAIL LIGHTS TURN OFF AND DO NOT GLOW. THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. CAN CHRYSLER PLEASE RECALL THE DEFECT??? THANKS. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT TRACK HAS BROKEN ON TWO SIDES. THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART ON THE SEAT TRACK WHERE THE METAL IS TOO THIN AND HAS CRACKED. I HAVE READ COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ONLINE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. I CANNOT EVEN FIND ONE TO REPLACE IN A SALVAGE YARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT ANY ONE THAT IS AVAILABLE. *TR

THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME WELD ON THE LEFT SIDE HAD PREVIOUSLY BROKEN ON ME. NOW THE FRAME WELD HAS BROKEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT WHERE THE BASE OF THE SEAT MEETS THE SEAT BACK CAUSING THE SEAT TO TILT BACK AND TO THE RIGHT. THE WHOLE SEAT NOW WOBBLES. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE SEAT FRAME DESIGN BECAUSE THE BREAKS ARE AT WELD POINTS. THE METAL IS THIN AT THESE POINTS. *TR

THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE. AN ONCOMING VEHICLE CROSSED THE CENTER LINE. THE DRIVER OF THE JEEP MOVED OVER TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION AND THE JEEP WENT OVER AND EMBANKMENT AND HIT FRONT END AND FLIPPED FIVE TIMES. THE DRIVER WAS EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. HER DAUGHTER WAS IN A CAR SEAT. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MULTIPLE INJURIES AND FRACTURES OF THE SPINE, PELVIS, RIBS AND ALSO MISCARRIED. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. WE HAVE PICTURES. *TR

I OWN A 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE WHICH HAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHERE THE POWER WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS AND EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL DO NOT WORK AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT TURN OFF, ALL CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE.I FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP CHEROKEES DUE TO THE WIRING INSIDE THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN 2009 AFTER AT ABOUT 46,000 MILES. WHEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP GIVE ME AN EXACT PRICE OVER THE PHONE AS THEY KNEW OF THIS ISSUE. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY RUDE AND PRICE WAS VERY HIGH.I HAD THE REPAIRS DONE AT A HIGHLY REGARDED REPAIR SHOP WHICH SPECIALIZES IN ELECTRICAL WORK WHICH COST $201 BUT NOW (AT 80,000 MILES) THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN DUE TO THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE WIRING HARNESS IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, BUT THE HARNESS IS TOO SMALL TO SUSTAIN ALL OF THE WIRES. WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED, THE WIRES COME OUT OF THE HARNESS AND BREAK, WHICH CAUSES EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR PANEL NOT TO WORK. THIS INCLUDES THE POWER WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND POWER MIRRORS ALL OF WHICH CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR JEEP THAT THEY SHOULD FIX FREE OF CHARGE ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I FEEL THAT IT'S VERY RECKLESS OF JEEP TO NOT RECALL THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND ALLOW THEIR CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE WITH WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS THAT TO NOT WORK OR INTE

I KNOW OF AT LEAST 4 PEOPLE WHO HAVE JEEP VEHICLES AND WE ARE CONSTANTLY REPLACING THE TAIL LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT AND OR HAVING ISSUES WITH ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. WITHIN 2YEARS I HAVE PERSONALLY REPLACED MY ENTIRE DRIVER TAIL LIGHT, BULBS 4 TIMES. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR ANY RECALLS AND I HAVE ONLY FOUND 1, BUT NOTHING IN REGARDS TO ELECTRICAL AND OR BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND I SAW IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THEY HAVE BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE OF AIR BAGS GOING OFF AND RECALLS WOULD BE SENT OUT IN JANUARY BUT IF YOUR LIGHT WAS ON TAKE IT IN TO A DEALER. I TOOK IT IN ON11/12/2012 BUT THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T ON RECALL AND I TOLD THEM IN IT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER AND THEY SAID I NEED TO WAIT TO GET MY RECALL NOTICE. *TR

DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL BLEND DOORS HAVE BROKEN, A DEFECT IN DESIGN THAT AFFECTS ALL 1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED MODELS. THERE IS NO HOT AIR AVAILABLE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CABIN, AND THE PASSENGER CLIMATE ADJUSTMENT IS INOPERATIVE. *TR

GOOD EVENING, I OWN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4. I HAD BOUGHT MY VEHICLE A FEW YEARS AGO WITH ABOUT 18,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER TAKING IT FOR A TEST DRIVE THERE WAS A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. AFTER TODAY, THE CLICKING NOISE SEEMS TO GET LOUDER AT DRIVING 25 MPH. I TRIED TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM BY RESEARCHING SIMILAR INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET. THERE WAS A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT A BAD U-JOINT WAS THE CULPRIT DUE TO A LACK OF PERMANENT GREASE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED BY THE MANUFACTURER. GIVEN THAT THIS CAN LEAD TO THE VEHICLE LOSING CONTROL WHEN THE U-JOINT SNAPS CAN BE LETHAL. PLEASE INQUIRE WHETHER THIS IS A FEASIBLE ISSUE THAT CAN BE RECALLED FOR MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *TR

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE RAN THE DAY BEFORE, AFTER IT RAINED THAT NIGHT THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR WILL NOT START, REMOTE STARTED TO WORK NO SOUND, LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF & ON, AFTER LOCATING THE HARNESS BOOT BETWEEN THE DRIVERS DOOR NEGATIVE WIRING FATIGUES AND BREAKS, HEARD CLICKING SOUNDS WHEN BOOT WAS TOUCHED. NOW NOTHING WORKS. CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED FOR OTHER MAJOR ISSUES, PCM, TPS, SENOIDS, BARRONS ETC. THIS IS A DEFECT & CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FACE UP TO CORRECTING THEIR FAULTY WIRING, AND NOT LEAVE IT UP TO THE CONSUMER TO FIX ON THERE OWN, WERE ARE NOT MECHANICS, FROM READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB, IT MAKES ME WONDER WHY JEEP IS STILL IN BUSINESS, GREAT BODIES BUT NO PEEP INSIDE, ALL THE WIRING IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HARNESS IS RIDICULOUS & IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN FOR THE CONSUMER. THESE WIRES SHOULD NEVER BEEN BUNCHED TOGETHER WHICH IS ALLOWING FRICTION WHEN OPENING & CLOSING THE DOOR CAUSING BURN OUTS & SHORTS WITH THE WIRING "SHAME ON YOU CHRYSLER." *TR

ACCELERATING FROM STOP SIGN TO 40 MPH, DRIVER'S POWER SEAT FRAME BROKE AT A WELD POINT ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. MECHANIC SAYS IT CANNOT BE RE-WELDED. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT, ANOTHER SEAT FROM A JUNK YARD CANNOT BE FOUND. DEALER SAYS SEAT FRAMES ARE ON BACK ORDER. I AM WORKING WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO FIND A FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE SEAT BROKE LOSE, THE DRIVER COULD LOSE CONTROL AND ANYONE IN THE BACK SEAT COULD BE INJURED. *JS

THE TWO REAR BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE LEFT EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAVE SHEARED OFF CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT EXHAUST LEAK AND POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE WHILE ENGINE IS COLD. BASED UPON INTERNET RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON 4.7L V8 ENGINES. *TR
