2000 Jeep Laredo

SEAT NOT GOOD, REAR BOTH AXLES

BRAKE LIGHTS ISSUES HAVE CHANGED BULBS CUIRCUT BOARDS NEW BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH,BUT STILL CAN'T GET BRAKE LIGHTS TO WORK ALL OTHER LIGHTS WORK NO ISSUES.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LARADO WITH AN R TITLE. I WAS JUST TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK EXPLODING UPON IMPACT. JEEP RECALLED THE JEEPS ON THE ROAD & HAD A TRAILER HITCH PUT ON BY LOCAL GARAGES. DOES OUR VEHICLE FALL UNDER YOUR RECALL? CAN WE GET A RECALL, SO WE CAN HAVE A HITCH PUT ON? DATE OF PURCHASE BELOW:

I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT HAVING SOMEBODY CRASH INTO THE REAR OF MY JEEP. THE REAR BUMPER IS RIGHT NEXT TO FUEL TANK. THEY ARE GOING TO INSTALL TRAILER HITCHES ( FOR ADDED PROTECTION ) ON SOME OTHER YEAR JEEPS BUT NOT MINE !! HOW CAN THIS BE FAIR WHEN THEY ARE ALL BUILT THE SAME WAY. PLEASE MAKE THEM FIX ALL OF THESE DANGEROUS AUTOS. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BROKE ON 2000 JEEP LAREDO. AFTER READING THE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE CONTACT WAS BRAKING FROM 35 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO ABNORMALLY PULSATE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THE FAILURE CONTINUOUSLY RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED FOUR ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT OF MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO BECAME DISLODGED FROM THE BRACKETS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND NEARLY CRASH INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCOVERED THAT THE RAILS ON THE BRACKETS HAD TORN APART. THESE SHOULD BE MADE OUT OF SOME TYPE OF DURABLE METAL BUT THEY BRACKETS ARE VERY POORLY CONSTRUCTED AND THE METAL IS NOT THICK ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE WEAR AND TEAR OF REGULAR USE. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR REPLACEMENT BRACKETS BUT, INSTEAD OF FINDING PARTS, I FOUND A SERIES OF COMPLAINTS BY DRIVERS WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT WAS CORRECTED IN THE NEWER JEEPS BUT IS STILL AN ISSUE FOR ANYONE WITH JEEP MODEL PURCHASED FROM 1998-2004. *TR

I TOO BROUGHT A JEEP CHEROKEE FROM A USED DEALERSHIP IN 2008, IT IS A 2000 4L 6I ALSO, SAME ISSUES, THE WEEK AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR THE ENGINE BLEW, THE DEALER WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE THEY SENT IT TO THEIR MECHANIC SHOP AND OF COURSE THE MECHANIC SHOP SAID IT WASN'T THE DEALERS FAULT, THEY TOLD ME THAT A ROCK HIT THE FAN AND PUT A SMALL HOLE IN THE ENGINE... I SPENT CLOSE TO 1200 GETTING THE ENGINE REBUILT. CAR RAN FOR A LITTLE WHILE THEN THE CHECK COOLANT LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, I HAD TO KEEP A BOTTLE OF COOLANT IN MY CAR AND THE COOLANT WOULD RUN OUT EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. THEN IN OCT THE ENGINE BLEW AGAIN, MY CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED UNTIL I CAN FIND A LOW MILEAGE ENGINE TO REPLACE THE OLD ONE. I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN. MEANWHILE I AM STILL PAYING A CAR PAYMENT AND HAVING TO WORK TO GET MONEY TO FIX MY CAR...UGHHHH. *TR

FRONT SEAT BROKE OFF - NO ACCIDENT, JUST EVERYDAY USE. *TR

MY 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO HAS BEEN SWAPPED-IT SEEMS TO BE A SIMPLE PROCEDURE FOR ONES IN MY AREA , THE VEHICLE PASSES AS THE ONE I PURCHASED BUT SEVERAL THINGS ARE DIFFERENT, I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I HAVEN'T WENT TO THE POLICE ABOUT THIS MATTER, BECAUSE I NEED SOMEONE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE SPECIFICS IN THIS MODEL/MAKE VEHICLE TO BE ABLE TO PROVE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE JEEPS IN MY AREA, I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN A STOLEN VEHICLE THAT THE VIN #S HAVE BEEN CHANGE ON, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED, THE MAN AT THE DEALERSHIP EVEN REMEMBERS CERTAIN THINGS BEING DIFFERENT THAN THEY ARE NOW. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT HAS NEVER WORKED SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. I HAVE HAD IT "FIXED" SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT ONLY WORKS FOR A DAY OR TWO. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE AND HAD TO EXPLAIN IT WAS THE CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT JEEP'S AROUND THE SAME AGE AS MINE ALMOST ALL HAVE A MISSING BRAKE LIGHT. ALMOST ALL ARE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE AN ANTI-FREEZE LEAK. I HAVE HAD IT FIXED TWICE. I WISH I COULD TELL YOU WHAT WAS DONE BUT I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT CARS. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT WHAT IT COULD BE BUT ALL I FOUND WAS A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUNK TONS OF MONEY INTO FIXING THE PROBLEM ON THEIR 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. I AM CURRENTLY ADDING ANTI-FREEZE DAILY. *TR

I HAVE OWNED A 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW AND I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE JEEP STALLING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN ALL THE STEPS TO GETTING THE PROBLEM REPAIRED, I HAVE HAD A TECH PUT IT ON A TESTER, I REPLACED THE PARTS THAT THE TECH TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE BUT STILL THE JEEP STALLS AND NOW IT IS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN MY JEEP EVERYDAY TO AND MOST OF THE TIME FROM SCHOOL. I AM TERRIFIED THAT IT IS GOING TO STALL IN TRAFFIC AND MY CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BE INJURED OR WORSE. IF I OR A TECHNICIAN CANNOT FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO. IN THIS ECONOMY PEOPLE JUST CANT GO OUT AND GET A NEW CAR. AND I CANT CONTINUE BUYING PARTS THAT I DON'T NEED. I FEEL LIKE CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX WHAT EVER THIS IS BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT IS JUST A WAY FOR PARTS STORES TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF PEOPLE. *TR

THE BACK TAIL LIGHTS DON'T WORK ON MY 2000 LAREDO JEEP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. WINDOWS BEGIN FALLING DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY, THEN THE VEHICLE BEGINS SHUTTING OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THEN... YOUR GAUGES ON YOUR DASH (SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, BATTERY GAUGE, ETC) STOP WORKING. MAKING YOU UNABLE TO TELL YOUR SPEED. THEN YOUR VEHICLE WILL TURN OVER BUT NOT STAY CRUNK. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO ALL OF THEM. ALL JEEPS BETWEEN THE YEAR MODELS OF 2000 THROUGH 2002. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRACKETS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT FAILED. THE SEAT IS VERY WOBBLY AND UNSTABLE. THE DEALER WOULD ONLY PROVIDE A REPAIR ESTIMATE. THROUGH RESEARCH, THE CONTACT FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS FAILURE. HE HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIND A USED SEAT AS A REPLACEMENT; HOWEVER, THE ONES HE FOUND WERE ALSO FAULTY. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

FRONT SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DIAL ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DISPLAYED EXCESSIVE OVERHEATING. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE RELAY (PART NUMBER 5017491AB). EVERY YEAR SINCE THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE HAS RECURRED AND MUST BE REPAIRED AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

THE LOCK ON THE BACK DOOR OF MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WILL NOT UNLOCK AND WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK IT, IT MAKES A "QUACK" NOISE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP LAREDO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN HIS VEHICLE, ANOTHER VEHICLE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH CRASHED INTO HIM HEAD-ON. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. THE CONTACT HAS A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT AND PICTURES OF THE FAILED INCIDENT. THE VIN AND SPEED WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 300,000.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO FOR ALMOST 9 NINE YEARS. ALMOST A YEAR AGO, THE DRIVERS-SIDE SEAT BEGAN TO WOBBLE. AT FIRST, IT WAS MORE OF AN INCONVENIENCE. HOWEVER, SOON IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE SEAT WAS REALLY COMING OFF OF THE BASE. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I TOOK IT TO SOUTHPOINT CHRYSLER JEEP IN AUSTIN, TEXAS IN ORDER FOR THE SEAT TO BE FIXED. BEFORE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I REMOVED THE SEAT FROM THE BASE AND NOTICED THAT WHERE THE SEAT WAS AFFIXED TO THE BASE, THE METAL HAD SHEARED OFF, RENDERING THE BOLTS USELESS. I LOOKED UP THIS UP ON WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG, AND NOTICED THAT MANY OTHERS HAD THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THAT JEEP CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE COMPENSATED ME FOR THIS DEFECT. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $ 1,000 (ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS) TO REPLACE THE SEAT BASE AND THE BASE THAT AFFIXES TO THE FLOOR. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD AT LEAST PAY FOR THE COST OF PARTS, SINCE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN AN ACCIDENT. I DID NOT KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE OF THE SEAT UNTIL I REMOVED IT. BY THE TIME I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, THERE WAS ONE BOLT THAT WAS PROPERLY HOLDING IT IN PLACE, BUT THE OTHERS WERE FAIRLY USELESS. I ALSO TOOK PICTURES OF THE SEAT BASE AND FLOOR BASE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT PURCHASED TWO FRONT TIRES. AFTER THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED, BALANCED, AND ALIGNED, HE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE LOOSE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ROTORS FAILED. THE ROTORS NEED TO BE RESURFACED AND THE BRAKE LINE SHOULD BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,606 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,801.

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. MY JEEP HAS SHUT OFF ON ME THREE TIMES THIS WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME MY CRUISE WAS SET AT 65MPH, IT KICKED OFF THE CRUISE AND THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED IT GOT BACK UP TO 65MPH AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN NOT 2 MINUTES LATER. IT DIDN'T RESTART AGAIN FOR ME THAT MORNING. MY FIANCE WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND HE DROVE IT HOME AS IF THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM. TODAY (2 DAYS LATER) WHILE COMING AROUND A CORNER IN TOWN THE VEHICLE STALL AGAIN, BUT THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP THIS TIME AND I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES STOPPING THE JEEP IN THE ONCOMING LANE TO AVOID AN OFF ROAD ADVENTURE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC, BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS? WHAT IF THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DOING 65MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY? I USE TO LOVE THIS VEHICLE, BUT NOW IM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, I JUST GOT THE JEEP OUT THIS AFTERNOON BECAUSE THE PASSENGER WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR AND BROKE. MY NEW WINDOW IS NOW BOLTED TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE EXTRA COUPLE HUNDRED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR THAT WAS COMPLETELY TORE APART WHEN THE WINDOW CAME DOWN. WHAT'S NEXT? *TR

FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW SLID DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. IT IS NOW SHATTERED. I BOUGHT THE CAR A FEW MONTHS PRIOR WITH NO PROBLEMS , THE WINDOW ALWAYS WORKED FINE. NOW EVEN THE BUTTON TO MOVE THE WINDOW DOES NOTHING. GLASS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND ALSO THE REGULATOR (WINDOW MOTOR). *TR

FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW SLID DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. IT IS NOW SHATTERED. I BOUGHT THE CAR A FEW MONTHS PRIOR WITH NO PROBLEMS , THE WINDOW ALWAYS WORKED FINE. NOW EVEN THE BUTTON TO MOVE THE WINDOW DOES NOTHING. GLASS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND ALSO THE REGULATOR (WINDOW MOTOR). *TR

JUST RECENTLY MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK THEM UNLESS THE DRIVER GOES INSIDE FIRST. THE DRIVER MUST HIT HIS/HER LOCK THEN REACH OVER AND PULL ON THE LOCK TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN TRYING TO EXIT THE CAR, THE DRIVER MUST HIT THE LOCK MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER SIDE TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE TO DO THIS FOR BOTH PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. THIS IS A CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THE PASSENGER CANNOT GET OUT THEN IT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS PROBLEMS. I KNOW I HAVE TALKED AND READ COMPLAINTS BY MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2000 JEEP CHEROKEES AND IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT A RECALL BE ISSUED AND HOPEFULLY SOON BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS OCCURS TO SOME INDIVIDUAL. THANK YOU. *TR

I OWN A 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO AND WHEN I COLD START IT THE OIL PRESSURE GOES TO A BIT OVER 40 BUT AFTER THE INLINE 6 4.0 LTR WARMS UP THE OIL PRESSURE DROPS TO ZERO AND THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT GOES ON. I HAVE REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT TWICE AND CLEANED THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT MOUNTING NUT AND IT HAS NOT AFFECTED THE OIL PRESSURE. I HAVE KEPT REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT 3000 MILES. I AM ALSO LOSING ENGINE COOLANT BUT CANNOT FIND A LEAK ANYWHERE IN THE SYSTEM. I HAVE PRESSURE CHECKED THE COOLING SYSTEM COLD AND IT HOLDS PRESSURE, HOT IT LOSES PRESSURE IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS NOW. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY A CRACKED HEAD AND APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEADS USED ON 99 TO 01 JEEP INLINE 6'S. IF IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM WHEN IT CHRYSLER NOT ADDRESSING IT? THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP CHEROKEE, MY FIRST A 98, AND IT WAS A GREAT CAR BUT THAT ONE IS JUNK. *TR

COOLING SYSTEM LOOSES COOLANT. HAVE REPLACED FAN RELAY & WATER PUMP. STILL OVERHEATS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BEGAN MAKING A NOISE WHILE BEING LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE KEY REMOTE. ADDITIONALLY, THE HATCH AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN OR CLOSE. ALL OF THE DOORS HAVE TO BE OPENED MANUALLY AND THE CONTACT HAS TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CHRYSLER STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS A COMMON FAILURE AND THE DOORS HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, HAD OVERHEATING ISSUES. HAVE HAD WATER PUMP, COOLING FAN, COOLING FAN RELAY REPLACED, STILL A PROBLEM. THOUSAND OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY WIFE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, AND IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING, PUTTING HER IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WITH NO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT...NOTHING, LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THERE IS COOLANT ALREADY IN THE CAR, CHECK GAUGES LIGHT KEEP COMING ON, HEATER DOESN'T HEAT WELL, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR LOCK DOES NOT WORK, I'VE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND THE WATER PUMP ONCE. AND I'VE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE OVERHEATING AND THE FAN NOT COMING ON AND HAD IT REPLACED. I DO BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE ESPECIALLY THE 2000 MODEL AND THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR BLOGS TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND FOUND THERE WERE WELL OVER 100 PEOPLE ON ONE WEBSITE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. I THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THOSE THAT OWN THIS VEHICLE AND I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT CAUSES SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR EVEN DEATH. PLEASE DON'T IGNORE THIS COMPLAINT, AND I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON CONCERNING THIS MATTER. YOU SHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE "NUMBER OF DEATHS" LISTED, BUT IF YOU BE HONEST AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS, THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY DEATHS. *TR

BLEND DOOR FAILURE ON 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. VENTS ONLY BLOWING COLD AIR, EVEN WHEN THERMOSTAT IS SET ALL THE WAY TO HOT. *TR

VENTILATION SYSTEM FAILED. NO HEAT IN 32 DEGREES WEATHER. NO DEFROSTER / DEFOGGER IN THE SAME COLD WEATHER AND IN RAINY WEATHER. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS SUMMONS FOR FAULTY TAILLIGHTS. I HAD THE LIGHTS REPLACED TWICE. THE BACK BRAKELIGHTS ARE OUT TOTALLY. THE NYPD SEEMS TO FAMILIAR WITH THESE CASES IN THE 2000 JEEPS, THE FIRST QUESTION I WAS ASKED BEFORE ASKING FOR MY LICENSE AND REGISTRATION, THE POLICE OFFICER INQUIRED ABOUT THE YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. I AM REALLY SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE GRAND CHEROKEES. I ALWAYS SEE THE SEEM ISSUES WITH THE GRAND CHEROKEES ON THE ROAD. *TR

THE GAUGES ON THE DASH - SPEEDOMETER-GAS-OIL-HEAT, ETC. WILL ALL FAIL AT THE SAME TIME - THEY WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT - AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON - BUT YOU CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR - YOU JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHAT EH CAR IS DOING - AND THE POWER WINDOWS DO NOT WORK - THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TOTAL OF 8 WEEKS SINCE AUG 26 - THEY HAVE YET TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT - THERE ARE A LOT OF WRITE UPS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM - AS A MATTER OF FACT JEEP HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR THEIR 2002 MODEL - BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THIS - KIND OF SCARY TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE GAUGES GO OFF. *TR

GAUGES SHORT OUT - NO SPEEDOMETER - NO GAS GAUGES, OIL PRESSURE, TEMP, ETC - WINDOWS WILL NOT ROLE DOWN. - THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME - KIND OF SCARY - IT LIGHTS UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE.. MY DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR 7 OF THE LAST 10 WEEKS - TRYING TO FIX IT. I CONTACTED JE/CHRYSLER - THEY SAID IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND AT LEAST A 100 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM - IN 2002 JEEP RECALLED ALL OF ITS CARS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL. THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE DONE THIS. REAR TAIL LIGHTS QUIT WORKING. *TR

N/A *TR UPDATED 01/07/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHT SURFACE HAD DETERIORATED CAUSING A FILM WHICH, MUFFLED THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT THROUGH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY OFFERED A SOLUTION THAT THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR. UPDATED 12/12/07

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CONNECTION TO FRAME HAS BROKEN FROM SEAT FRAME CREATING DANGEROUS SHIFT OF SEAT WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD OF SIMILAR SEAT SEPARATION ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

UPON GENERAL USE THE PLASTIC PIN IN THE WINDOW REGULATOR (DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT) BROKE DROPPING THE WINDOW DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT KEEP THESE IN STOCK AS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. I WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, AT THE TIME IT WAS 20 DEGREES BELOW ZERO AND I HAD A 6 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE CAR. I HAVE NOT FIXED IT YET AS THERE ARE SO MANY REPLACEMENTS FOR THIS THAT THE ONE FOR MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN FOUND AND THE COST IS VERY STEEP. CHRYSLER HAS ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A POOR DESIGN AND HAS SINCE BEEN CHANGED. I FEEL THEY SHOULD FIX MY CAR AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

1. REPEATED FAILURES OF FUEL PUMP. 2. REPEATED FAILURE OF FRONT DISK BRAKE ROTORS. 3. REPEATED FAILURE OF TRANSFER CASE. 4. REPEATED FAILURE OF ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS. *NM

AT 7:20 THIS MORNING WHEN I STARTED THE JEEP, THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. THE HIGH BEAMS WORKED ONLY WHILE I HELD THE SWITCH ON. THEY WOULDN'T STAY ON. TURN INDICATORS WORKED. DROVE SON TO SCHOOL AND CAME HOME. TOOK JEEP MANUAL INSIDE TO LOOK UP FUSES. DISCOVERED THERE ARE SEPARATE FUSES FOR LEFT AND RIGHT SO I DOUBTED IT WAS THE FUSE. DECIDED I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE JEEP TO THE DEALER. WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE GARAGE ABOUT 7:35, THE LIGHTS WERE ON (I HAD LEFT THE SWITCH ON BY MISTAKE, AND THE LIGHTS ON ALARM DIDN'T SOUND WHEN I LEFT THE CAR). NOW WHEN I OPENED THE CAR DOOR, THE LIGHTS ON ALARM BELL RANG. I TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS AND TURNED THEM ON AGAIN. I TURNED ON THE HIGH BEAMS. EVERYTHING WAS WORKING NORMAL. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY REALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING AS LONG AS EVERYTHING IS WORKING. SURELY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SOMEBODY ELSE. I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING BACK FROM THE AIRPORT SOME NIGHT AND HAVE THE LIGHTS GO OUT. *NM

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE PURCHASED IN 2002 I BELIEVE. I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF FORUM ABOUT OWNERS WITH SAME CAR HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE POWER LOCK GO BAD AFTER A FEW YEARS, ALSO THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT SEEM TO HAVE SOME BURN OUT ISSUES PREVENTING THE LIGHTS FROM WORKING PROPERLY. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE FRONT TWEETER SPEAKS ARE OFTEN BLOWN. IN MY CASE BOTH MY REAR DOOR POWER LOCK ACTUATORS WENT BAD AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND HAVE TO GET OUT MY CAR AND OPEN THE REAR DURING BY PLACING MY HAND THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE OTHER REAR DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE USING THE POWER LOCKING FEATURE ON THE KEY. NEXT MY CAR CAN'T PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE TAILLIGHT IS OUT. IT WORKS FINE AT TIMES BUT WHEN I STEP ON THE BREAKS IT CAUSES ALL THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ON AND OFF. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS MANY TIMES. AFTER REVIEWING SOME FORUM AND GOING TO A MECHANIC I WAS TOLD MY LEFT TAIL LIGHT HAS A SHORT IN IT. I WILL NEED A NEW ONE. NEXT MY FRONT SPEAKERS HAVE BLOWN. THE COST FOR EACH PART NOT INCLUDING LABOR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS -- $98 TAILLIGHT -- $171 TWEETER -- $68.86 A PIECE AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEN I CHECK ON SOME JEEP FORUMS AND FOUND OUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. ABOUT 144 COMPLAINTS.
