2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A GRINDING AND HUMMING NOISE WAS PRESENT FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND HOSE WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

SEAT HEATER WIRING INSIDE BOTH FRONT SEATS CRACKED AT SEAT HEATER ELEMENTS CAUSING ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE AND MELTING OF SEAT CUSHION MATERIAL SURROUNDING WIRING. THIS DEFECT WAS PREVIOUSLY ADDRESSED VIA SAFETY RECALL 09V11700 IN 2009. CHRYSLER CLAIMED MY VEHICLE HAD RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL, AND THE PARTS ARE ONLY WARRANTED FOR 2 YEARS. IF THIS IS TRUE, THE NEW PARTS HAVE THE SAME FIRE HAZARD AS THE OLD PARTS.

THE RECALL NUMBER IS N74 WHICH WAS TO HAVE THE REAR OF IT TO BE REANFORCED THEY TELL ME THIS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND I WAS DRIVING AND THE GAS TANK FELL DOWN ALMOST FELL OFF BECAUSE THE GAS TANK STRAP BROKE WITCH THERE WAS ONLY ONE ON IT I WAS GOING 55 MPH FOR 7 MILES

FRONT DRIVER SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET/TRACK BREAK COMPLAINT: VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN PARKED IN A PARKING LOT OF MY WORK. I WAS JUST GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE WHEN THE FRONT LEFT DRIVER SEAT BRACKET BROKE CAUSING THE SEAT TO IMMEDIATELY START ROCKING SIDE TO SIDE AND TOWARDS THE BACK. UPON INSPECTION THE BRACKET ITSELF FAILED AT A DESIGNED BEND IN THE BRACKET JUST BEFORE THE BRACKET ATTACHES TO THE SEAT POWER SLIDING BRACKET. MATERIAL APPEARS TO BE MADE OF 1/8" METAL PROBLEM: AFTER TIME THE BRACKET HOLDING THE DRIVER/PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEATS TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO CRACK AND BREAK LEAVING THE SEAT TO ROCK AND MOVE AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THIS WILL LEAD TO THE SEAT POSSIBLY BECOMING DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE FRAME IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. FILE LABELED: LEFT BRKT-DRIVER SEAT - BROKEN - IS OF THE BROKEN BRACKET.THIS PART IS ON DRIVER SIDE TOWARDS THE DOOR. FILE LABELED: RIGHT BRKT-DRIVER SEAT - NRML - IS OF THE OPPOSITE BRACKET.THIS PART IS ON DRIVER SIDE TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SEAT.

THE VEHICLE STALLS .SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING IT RUNS LIKE A DREAM AND OUT OF NO WHERE IT SHUTS OFF

TAKATA RECALL. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE, ACCORDING TO JEEP, AFTER TWO YEARS.

SYSTEM WILL READ "DRIVERS DOOR AJAR" WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED CAUSING THE LOSS OF CONTROL TO WINDOWS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD HISSING SOUND. NOTICED IT WAS A MANIFOLD LEAK AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION NOTICED TWO BOLTS WERE BROKE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, LEFT SIDE OF THE MOTOR BY THE FIREWALL. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO REMOVE THESE BROKEN BOLTS OTHER THAN PULLING THE MOTOR. NO MECHANIC WILL TOUCH IT. THEREFORE LEAVING THE COST ON THE CONSUMER. THE GRADE OF THE BOLTS ARE VERY POOR. THEY KNEW THE 4.7 V8 MOTOR WOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE CONSUMER TO FIX THESE ISSUES. LEAVING THE CONSUMER TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE IT IS NOT SAFE IT IS NOT FAIR. NOW THE CONSUMER HAS TO WORRY THAT'S EXCESSIVE HEAT THAT ESCAPED OUT THE MANIFOLD DUE TO THE BROKEN BOLTS DOESN'T CATCH ANYTHING ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING POSSIBLY INJURING OR FATALLY INJURING THE PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THERE MISTAKE. THESE BOLTS SHOULD NOT BREAK OFF WITHIN 100,000 MILES IT IS A HAZARD TO THE DRIVER THERE OCCUPANTS I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL. IT'S ONE THING IF YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT IT'S ANOTHER THING IF YOU DO AND THERE'S NO POSSIBLE SOLUTION THAT'S NOT WHAT I PAID FOR NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE I CAN'T TRADE IT IN OR SELL IT BECAUSE YOU CAN HEAR IT NOW I'M STUCK WITH DRIVING IT FOR ANOTHER COUPLE THOUSAND MILES AND BE OUT OF THE VEHICLE ON THEIR BEHALF.

TAKATA RECALL - HAD MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN FOR THE RECALL IN JANUARY 2018. THEY FIXED AIRBAG RECALL AND PROBLEM SEATBELT LIGHT CONSTANTLY BEING ON EVEN WHEN DRIVER IS CORRECTLY SEATBELTED IN- THE LIGHT STAYS ON. NOW, IT IS AUGUST 27, 2018 AND BOTH AIR BAG LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ARE BACK ON. ALSO, THE FUEL TANK SKID PLATE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THIS LEAVES THE GAS TANK FULLY EXPOSED, LEAVING YOU SUSCEPTIBLE TO ANY NUMBER OF POSSIBLE SCENARIOS WHERE THE FUEL TANK COULD IGNITE, ESPECIALLY IF ONE WAS TO BE REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT IS NOT PROTECTED BY "SOLUTION" TO REPLACE THE TOW BAR PACKAGE. I KNOW SERVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND FUEL TANK SKID PLATE RUSTING THROUGH COMPLETELY. THIS COMBINATION OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS DEPLOYING UNEXPECTEDLY ALONG WITH THE EXPOSED FUEL TANK, & TRULY ENDANGERS THE LIVES OF THE DRIVER, ALL OCCUPANTS AND POTENTIALLY ANYONE ELSE IN THE VICINITY, IF ONE OR BOTH WE'RE TO EXPLODE. POTENTIALLY CAUSED ME LOSE OF LIFE TO THOSE INVOLVED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTROL FOR THE WINDOWS AND DOORS DOES NOT WORK MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN OR LOCK THE CAR. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION OR WHILE STATIONARY. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

AFTER DOING WUITE ALOT OF RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEEROKEES HAVE A KNOWN STALLING PROBLEM THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED. THESE VEHICLES STALL WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES TO FAIL. CREATING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. EVERY COMPLAINT I HAVE SEEN STATES THAT THE OWNERS HAVE SUNK LOTS OF MONEY AND REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RETURN TIME AND TIME AGAIN. WHY HAS THIS STALLING ISSUE NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED, AND JEEP HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE REPAIRS? I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINS ALL OVER THE INTERNET DESCRIBING THIS SAME STALLING HAZARD.

THE FUEL TANK SKID PLATE IS RUSTED AND ONE OF THE STRAPS ARE BROKE. DONT DARE TO DRIVE FOR FEAR OF TANK FALLING OUT.

WIRING BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND THE VEHICLE BREAK, WHICH CAUSES THE ELECTRIC LOCKS AND WINDOWS NOT TO WORK. EITHER MOVING OR STATIONARY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 2008

"TAKATA RECALL" MY DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BEEN REPLACE ONCE, AT MY OWN EXPENSE, DUE THE SEAT BECOMING EXTREMELY "WOBBLY" AND BEING BROKEN FROM THE BEASE FRAME AND FRAME UNDER SEAT. I WAS ON HIGHWAY DRIVING WHEN THE SEAT FIRST BECAME SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE, HAD I UNFORNATUNATELY BEEN STRUCK FROM THE REAR, I WOULD'VE BEEN VIOLENTLY THROWN FORWARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MATTER AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WJ, YET I FOUND NOTHING ON THIS SITE. IT COSTS ME $600, WHICH IS A LOT FOR A DISABLED VETERAN. BUT MY SAFETY COMES FIRST. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I CAME TO A STOP YESTERDAY AND THE SEAT SHIFTED FORWARD AND NOW ROCKS. I LOOKED UNDER IT AND THE SEAT BRACKET BROKE. I LOOKED INTO IT ON INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BUT THEY WERE VERY UNHELPFUL.

I HAVE CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE AND A DEALERSHIP NEARBY TO SEE IF MY CAR HAS A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR BECAUSE MY CAR KEEPS DYING WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IDLES ROUGH. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEVERAL WEBSITES SHOWED A PROBLEM WITH MY MAKE AND YEAR MODEL YET I CANNOT REDEEM A RECALL WHICH I'M GUESSING IS BECAUSE IT'S VIN SPECIFIC. I WOULD JUST LIKE MY CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR REPLACED. MY CAR HAS BEEN KNOW TO DIE SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE DAY WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIME GOING DOWN GEORGE BUSH HIGHWAY TOWARDS LEWISVILLE BEFORE YOU EXIT FOR MAIN STREET AND HAS EVEN DIED IN MY WAY TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNINGS WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT 1/2 A MILE. THE CALENDAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE DOES NOT LET ME SELECT MORE THAN ONE DATE WHICH IS TROUBLING BECAUSE I COULD PUT A CHECK MARK IN A MAJORITY OF DAYS WHERE IT HAS DIED.

STEERING GEAR BOX SUDDENLY LOCKS UP ON SLOW TURNS IN TRAFFIC

THE JEEP WAS STATIONARY WHEN THERE WAS A SOUND, WHEN I STARTED DRIVING THE SEAT BEGAN TO WOBBLE FROM SIDE TO SIDE (LEFT TO RIGHT) AND IT FELT LIKE THE SEAT COULD COME OFF, I HAD TO BRACE MY LEG AGAINST THE DOOR TOO KEEP THE SEAT SEMI-STABLE. LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE I FOUND A WHOLE WEBSITE DEDICATED TO COMPLAINTS, AS WELL AS A WHOLE WEBSITE DEDICATED TO SELLING NEW BRACKETS TO COUNTERACT THIS PROBLEM. IF A THIRD PARTY HAVING TO SELL PARTS FOR A SPECIFIC ISSUE ISNT TELLING ON HOW COMMON IT IS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. I HAVE YET TO BRING IT IN TO THE SHOP, HOWEVER ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINTS ITS AN ISSUE WITH THEM MAKING WEAK BRACKETS THAN CAN FAIL DURING A CRASH. HERE IS THE WEBSITE DOCUMENTING COMPLAINTS, AS WELL AS THE WEBSITE FOR PARTS. HTTP://JEEPSEATBRACKETPROBLEMS.BLOGSPOT.COM/ HTTPS://WWW.JEEPSEATBRACKET.COM/PAGES/THE-PROBLEM WE WILL BE GETTING IT DIAGNOSED, HOWEVER IT SEEMS THIS SHOULD BE AN ISSUE THAT IS ADDRESSED, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW DANGEROUS THIS COULD BE BOTH WITH IF IT BROKE WHILE DRIVING, AND IN A CRASH! I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL, OR HAVE ALL THE OWNERS OF CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM FIXED AT THEIR COST WITH HOW COMMON IT SEEMS, AND IM UPSET THEY HAVENT ADDRESSED IT.

TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINE IS LEAKING IT'S BEEN WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES. THE MOTOR HAS AIR IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM AFTER REPLACEMENT OF RADIATOR. THE POWER STEERING LINE WAS REPLACED. THE BACK WIPER MOTOR DOES NOT WORK. SOMETHING INEW THE DASH MAKES A MOVING SOUND AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF ON PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD BRAKE LINES FIXED. THE VEHICLE LOOSES OIL ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE LINE LEAKING. THE BACK WIPER NOT WORKING MAKES IT HARD TO SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW.

IGNITION SWITCH-P41. I WENT TO THE GARAGE ONE SATURDAY MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK AND COULD NOT CRANK UP MY VEHICLE. THE IGNITION WOULD LITERALLY NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR ANYTHING. THE LIGHTS TO THE CAR WOULD BLINK AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION; HOWEVER, THE SAFETY RECALL IS ON A MODEL CAR ONE YEAR AFTER MINE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE IGNITION WOULD NOT CRANK UP. ONE TIME, I LITERALLY HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR ONLY TO TRY AND START IT AGAIN BUT IT WOULDN'T CRANK. IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO, I HAD TO BANG ON THE IGNITION PARK TO GET IT TO TURN THE KEY AND FURTHER START THE IGNITION. THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME AS THE RECALL BUT I'M OUT OF POCKET SOME $687.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I HAD TO WAIT 3 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME THROUGH. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS MODEL CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS WELL. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND IT IS SO FRUSTRATING TO TRY AND PROVIDE FOR MY CHILD WHEN I CAN'T USE THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION THAT I HAVE PLUS THE FACT THAT IT COSTS AN ARM AND A LEG JUST TO FIX. I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR NOTE AT THIS TIME. PLEASE CONSIDER THE 2004 MODELS IN THIS RECALL.
