HI MY NAME IS [XXX] I BOUGHT A 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE (XJ) IT'S CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT NHTSA HAS A RECALL FOR THE GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK PROTECTION I'VE BEEN DOING RESEARCH FOR HOURS ON THE WEB AND I HAVE YET TO FIND THE SAME RECALL ON THE JEEP CHEROKEE MODELS MY FUEL TANK DOES NOT HAVE ANY KIND OF PROTECTION AND I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY JEEP CHEROKEE OWNER THAT HAS NO FUEL TANK PROTECTION TO BE HONEST I LOVE MY CHEROKEE AND THERE'S NO REASON I COULD EVER GET RID OF IT OTHER THAN THE FUEL TANK SAFETY IF YOU COULD PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE YOU AND OR YOUR COMPANY COULD NOT ONLY SAVE MY LIFE IN A REAR CRASH BUT YOU COULD SAVE MILLIONS OF LIVE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

GOT HOME SHUT OFF VEHICLE OPENED LIFTGATE WENT TO BATHROOM LOOKED OUT WINDOW A FIRE STARTED FROM INTERIOR LIGHT WITHIN 10 MINUTES WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

ONE DAY, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, ON MY WAY FROM WORK. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED TWICE. I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO EXPLAINED THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE KEY. THE NEXT DAY, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. I HAD IT TOWED AND TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE TIPM. I HAD TO PAY MONEY I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO SPEND TO GET IT FIXED. I LATER DISCOVERED SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE'S A VERY RECENT, AUGUST 2014, LAWSUIT PENDING IN FEDERAL COURT RELATING TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

SLOWLY LOOSING ANTIFREEZE, ANTIFREEZE MIXED WITH OIL. FOUND TO BE CRACKED HEAD, APPARENTLY A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. REPLACED HEAD. A FEW MONTHS AFTER REPLACEMENT OF HEAD, STARTED TO LOOSE ANTIFREEZE AGAIN REPLACED HEAD AGAIN IN NOV 2014. HAD VEHICLE BACK FOR ONE WEEK, LOST ALL ANTIFREEZE, MIXED WITH OIL AGAIN. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT 2000 AND 2001 JEEP CHEROKEES AND GRAND CHEROKEES HAVE A VERY HIGH RATE OF THIS HAPPENING. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

AFTER LOOSING COOLANT AT ABOUT A 1/2 PER WEEK, FINALLY DECIDED TO PULL THE HEAD AND CHECK TO SEE IF IT HAS THE FAMOUS JEEP 4.0L, 0331 HEAD CASTING AND IS KNOWN TO BE WEAK. YEP, I HAVE THE BAD HEAD WITH CRACKS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS AS IT HAS A HIGH FAILURE RATE..... *TR

I HAVE TWO JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH BOTH INVOLVING THE REAR TAIL/BRAKE LIGHTS. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS AND LAST YEAR I REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT HOUSING. I AM EXPERIENCING THIS WITH BOTH VEHICLES AND HAVE NOTICE MANY OTHER JEEPS ON THE ROAD WITH THEIR TAIL LIGHT OR BRAKE LIGHTS NOT PROPERLY WORKING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE TAIL LIGHTS WORK SOMETIMES BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS MAY NOT WORK AT ALL, VERY FRUSTRATING. WHEN THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN THE TAIL LIGHTS WILL WORK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL NOT, BOTH USING THE SAME BULB. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN APPLYING THE BREAKS AND HAVING THE LIGHTS ON THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE NOT INDICATE THAT I AM STOPPING OR IN FACT MAKING MY VEHICLE LESS NOTICEABLE. I HAVE HEARD THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH BOTH VEHICLES - NOT A COINCIDENT BUT A MANUFACTURES DEFEAT. *JS
