2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4WD 65,000 MILES DRIVERS POWER SEAT BRACKET WHILE STOPPING AT LIGHT - METAL SEAT BRACKET BROKE TILTING ME SIDEWAYS. JEEP DEALER QUOTED $1000 REPAIR - JEEP WILL NOT OFFER ANY WARRANTY. I SEE MANY OTHER CASES OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I CAN SEND PHOTOS OF THE DEFECTIVE PART AND/OR SHOW YOU THE ISSUE. AK

THE 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH 42,000 MILES ON IT HAD WINDOW REGULATORS ON BOTH FRONT DOORS MALFUNCTIONED ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ONE REGULATOR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. I PAID ANOTHER PARTY TO REPLACE THE OTHER REGULATOR. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION DUE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE WINDOW UNITS. ON ONE EVENT IT WAS RAINING ,AND ON THE OTHER EVENT, THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT.*AK

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGER HEATING SYSTEM. MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED OUR 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN AUGUST OF 06 WITH 38,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHILE SHE HAD IT IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE SHE TOLD THE TECH ABOUT NOISES IN THE DASH AND HE RESPONDED WITH IT SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE THAT. NOW 12,000 MILES LATER THE JEEP HAS NO HEAT AT ALL AND WE NEED TO PAY $1,000 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE INTENSION ON KEEPING IT FOR MORE THAN 100,000 MILES. IF WE KEEP THE JEEP THIS LONG IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE THIS FIXED AGAIN IF IT BREAKS EVERY 50,000 MILES. I DIDN'T SEE HEAT AS AN OPTION ON THE WINDOW STICKER. *TR

BLEND DOORS INOPERABLE. RESISTOR ALLOWS TOO MUCH TORQUE FOR THE PLASTIC BLEND DOOR TO HANDLE. (AS FOR THE PROPERTY DAMAGE YES OR NO QUESTION I CHECKED YES BECAUSE MY JEEP IS MY PROPERTY AND IT IS DAMAGED!) ALSO I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT DATE I PURCHASED THIS GRAND CHEROKEE? BUT, IT WAS DEFINITELY MARCH 2005. *JB

REAR PASSENGER (ELECTRIC) WINDOW FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (70K) WITH A $100 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED AND WAS CHARGED A $98 FEE TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. I WAS CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $98 TO FURTHER DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I WOULD NOT PAY ANYMORE MONEY BECAUSE OF MY WARRANTY, THEY DISCONNECTED THE SWITCH AND ROLLED THE WINDOW UP INSTEAD. THIS PROBLEM REMAINS UNRESOLVED. *TR

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE , PURCHASED ON 02/19/2005 USED VEHICLE WITH A 24,000 MILES OR LESS WARRANTY. PURCHASE PRICE WAS $20,342.00, MILEAGE ON VEHICLE WAS: 17268 AT TIME OF PURCHASE. PROBLEM: ON 4/18/2007 I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH COST ME $3,018.99. CAN I BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS MISHAP? AS A CONSUMER I DO NOT BELIEVE A VEHICLE THAT IS 2 1/2 YEARS OLD SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE ONE I INCURRED WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY PRESENT MILEAGE IS: 57959 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER *TR

04 GRAND CHEROKEE, FUNNY NOISES AFTER CAR SHUTS OFF COMING FROM DASH FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. THE JUST LAST WEEK THE RIGHT SIDE VENTS STARTED BLOWING ONLY COLD AIR. I JUST FOUND OUT IT IS A $1500/2 DAY REPAIR AND THAT IT HAPPENS "A LOT" - SO TO ME IF THIS IS A FAILURE THEY KNOW ABOUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS THEN I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIX THIS MYSELF. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A LEMON PART AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *AK

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A RESTAURANT LESS THAN A MILE AWAY FROM MY APARTMENT AND TOOK A LEFT TURN ONTO THE ROAD WHERE MY APARTMENT COMPLEX WAS LOCATED , AND THE CAR STARTED UP FINE AND WAS OKAY UNTIL ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY HOME. THE 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND AFTER MAKING THE LEFT TURN ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY TO ABOUT 60-70 MPH ON A NOT-SO-STRAIGHT ROAD. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, WHICH DID NOTHING, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED FOR NO RESPONSE, FINALLY BEFORE RUNNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC I PULLED THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND PUSHED THE IGNITION INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK. THE CAR SKIDDED TO A HALT RIGHT BEFORE I DEAD ENDED INTO ONCOMING 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS OFF, SO I RESTARTED IT AND IT, BEING IN PARK TOOK OFF FORWARD AT MAXIMUM RPMS. 8 OR 9 THOUSAND RPMS IN PARK, AND MOVING! TALK ABOUT SCARY. IT DID THIS APPROXIMATELY 7 TIMES WHILE STARTING WHERE IT SKIDDED TO A STOP AFTER THE FIRST RAMPAGE. I WAITED UNTIL A GREEN LIGHT, TURNED THE KEY, IT TOOK OFF IN PARK, AND ALLOWED ME WHILE DRIVING TO MOVE THE SHIFTER TO DRIVE, HAULED AROUND THE TURN AT FULL SPEED INTO THE ADJACENT PARKING LOT WHERE IT FINALLY STARTED BEING NORMAL. THANKFULLY THAT PARKING LOT IS ADJACENT TO MY APT COMPLEX SO I DROVE BACK WITHOUT REALLY ANY TROUBLE ASIDE FROM A FEW OVER REVVED. LEFT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE, AND HAVE TURNED IT ON TWICE WITH NO ISSUE. ITS BEING TOWED IN THE MORNING FOR THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED. I WILL NOW BE SELLING THIS CAR. *AK

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY JEEP LURCHED FORWARD WHILE PARKING. THE 1ST TIME I HAD TO PUT 2 FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP IT, & THE JEEP WAS STILL TRYING TO DRAG ITSELF FORWARD. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER. ON MARCH 28, 2007, I HAD A MAJOR INCIDENT THAT HAS LEFT ME TERRIFIED OF EVER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I PULLED OVER TO TRANSFER SOME THINGS TO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PUT MY JEEP IN PARK & LEFT IT RUNNING. I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP (MY DRIVER'S DOOR WAS OPEN) & AS I GOT TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED TO SLOWLY ROLL BACKWARDS. I RAN BACK & TRIED REACH THE BRAKE, BUT MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF & I HIT THE GAS PEDAL. THE JEEP LET OUT A ROAR - IT WAS REVVING UNCONTROLABLY (NORMAL IN A VEHICLE THAT IS IN PARK) - THEN I FELT A BANG & THE JEEP TOOK OFF, IN REVERSE, LIKE A SHOT. MY RIGHT FOOT GOT CAUGHT UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I SCRAMBLED FRANTICALLY TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE. MY SHOE CAME OFF, I WAS THROWN TO THE GROUND BY MY OPEN DRIVER'S DOOR & RUN OVER BY MY OWN JEEP. THE TRUCK CONTINUED IN REVERSE & SLAMMED INTOANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL FOR X-RAYS, A CT SCAN, AND A TETANUS SHOT. I HAVE A BROKEN TAILBONE, STAPLES CLOSING A GASH IN MY HEAD, ABRASIONS ON MY FEET AND HANDS, WRENCHED BACK & NECK & SEVERE DIZZYNESS. I KNOW I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I HEARD THE DOOR LOCKS RELEASE. WHEN I HIT THE GAS, THE ENGINE REVVED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE BANGING INTO REVERSE & TAKING OFF. IF THE CAR HAD ACTUALLY BEEN IN REVERSE, IT WOULD HAVE ROLLED AS SOON AS I GOT

I HAVE CLOD AIR BLASTING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE, EVEN WHEN THE HEAT IS ON, AND NOISES COMING FROM THE UNDER SIDE OF THE DASH. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE BLEND OR DOOR AS SOON AS A I CALLED AND THEY EVEN KNEW WHAT IT WOULD COST TO FIX IT. I ASKED IF THIS WAS COMMON SINCE HE SEEMED TO KNOW IMMEDIATELY THEY TOLD ME KNOW, BUT WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET FIXED I OVERHEARD A CONVERSATION OF ANOTHER JEEP OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, I PAID OVER $1200 TO GET THIS FIXED. *JB
