I BROUGHT INTO DEALER ND THEY INDICATED A PRT CLOCK SPRING ' NEEDED REPLACEMENT TO MAKE SURE AIR BAG WAS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOTICED ON SOME OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS.

I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE M35/NHTSA 12V-527. UPON CONTACTING DEALER I LEARNED THEY WILL REQUIRE MY CAR FOR 4 TO 6 HOURS, AND THEY DO NOT OFFER LOANER CARS, WHICH WILL REQUIRE MY RENTING A CAR. I AM ON LIMITED INCOME AND CANNOT RENT A CAR FOR 6 HOURS. DO I HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS, BUT TO DO NOTHING? *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER A SERIES OF BEEPS WHILE DRIVING IN MY 2002 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC THAT HOOKED IT UP TO A MACHINE AND IT WAS DETERMINED MY AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE SHORTLY AFTER IN THE MAIL STATING THERE WAS AN AIRBAG RECALL ON MY JEEP. THE AIRBAGS HAVE A POTENTIAL TO HAVE AN INADVERTENT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY INSPECTED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL, STATED MY AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AND UNPLUGGED MY AIRBAG SO THAT THERE WOULD BE NO CHANCE OF A INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT ON ME WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS SAFER THAN DRIVING WITHOUT AIRBAG PROTECTION, I WAS INSURED I WOULD GET THE AIRBAGS TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I HAVE CALLED THE JEEP RECALL DEPARTMENT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD TWICE I WAS MOVED TO THE TOP OF THE LIST AND WOULD GET A CALL AS SOON AS PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT IS NOW 9 MONTHS LATER AND I AM STILL DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT AIRBAGS. I CANNOT SELL MY VEHICLE DUE TO IT NOT BEING IN SAFE CONDITION AND DO NOT LIKE DRIVING AROUND WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITHOUT AIRBAG SAFETY. I ONLY DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND FEEL LIKE THIS IS NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF IN A TIMELY MANNER. *TR

DRIVER SEAT MADE SLIGHT BUMPING NOISE WHEN MOVING SEAT BACK AND FORTH ON A DAILY BASIS FOR ABOUT A MONTH. I WAS THEN INVOLVED IN A VERY LOW IMPACT ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS HIT IN THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. AT IMPACT OF COLLISION THE DRIVERS SEAT COMPLETELY SHEARED OFF OF THE BRACKET. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN! I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. IM NOW FIGHTING WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO FIX THIS SEAT. THEY ARE STATING THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A SEAT TO BREAK LIKE THIS FROM A LOW IMPACT COLLISION. APPARENTLY FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ ONLINE IT TAKES VERY LITTLE FOR THESE SEATS TO BREAK AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE WHERE THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, TRANSMISSION SEALS AND FLUID WERE REPLACED.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT OF MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO STARTED OF MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN APPLYING BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL. THEN THE LOWER METAL OF SEAT BOTTOM SNAPPED AND DETACHED CAUSED ME TO FALL INTO THE BACK SEAT WHILE DRIVING, ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LUCKY IM STILL ALIVE. I HAVE SINCE TRIED TO FIND A REPLACEMENT SEAT BUT AM HAVING NO LUCK AND I CANT AFFORD A $700+ BILL TO FIX IT. *TR

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON MONDAY MORNING AT AROUND 5:15 AM, SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT FROM MY JEEP'S HOOD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I TURNED AROUND AND PROCEED TO HEAD BACK HOME. WITHIN FOUR TO FIVE MINUTES THE SMOKE TURNED INTO FLAMES AND THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE (ON A LOCAL STREET). I JUMPED OUT FROM CAR AND THEN CALLED THE POLICE. ONCE FIREMEN CAME THEY PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE JEEP IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH NO PROBLEMS SUDDENLY BURSTS INTO FLAMES AND BURNS. *TR

MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAS POWER WINDOWS AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF MY WINDOW MOTORS AND OR CABLES AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE OF THE WINDOWS I HAVE REPLACED TWICE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. TODAY WAS THE MOST RECENT DATE BUT THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT CAME OFF AND FELL INTO THE BACK SEAT. IT IS HANGING LOOSE. I READ ON THE INTERNET CARSURVEY THAT JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S OF ALL YEARS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR
