2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

REAR HATCH DOOR WON'T LOCK BOTH REAR PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE WON'T LOCK UNLOCK DOOR READ REVIEWS MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

THE SEAT FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO WOBBLE PRECARIOUSLY WHILE DRIVING. I HAD IT WELDED, BUT IT SUBSEQUENTLY BROKE IN ANOTHER PLACE. BASED ON INTERNET RESEARCH, I REPAIRED THAT BREAK WITH A BOLT AND NUT. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE FRAME BROKE IN ANOTHER PLACE. I ATTEMPTED ANOTHER REPAIR, WITH POOR RESULTS. IT HAS NOW BROKEN AGAIN, IN A FOURTH PLACE. THE SEAT FRAME IS MADE OF RATHER THIN STEEL, NOT AS THICK AS THAT OF A GOOD COOKING POT. THE SEAT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED OR MISUSED IN ANY WAY, AND I FIND BY INTERNET RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC DESCRIBED THE SEAT FRAME AS BEING "MADE FROM A SOUP CAN." THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I HESITATE TO REPLACE IT WITH A (QUITE EXPENSIVE) USED REPLACEMENT, AS I FEAR IT WILL ONLY BREAK AGAIN. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BRACKET AT BASE OF SEAT BROKE, THE SEAT IS NO LONGER STABLE, IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT AND SEATBELT COMBINATION COULD PROVE MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE ACCIDENT ITSELF, IF THE BRACKET BREAKS ALL THE WAY WHILE DRIVING THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT!! I AM JUST LEARNING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS A RECALL, VERY DANGEROUS!!! *TR

THE RIGHT FWD SEAT TRACK MOUNT HAS BROKEN ITS WELDS. THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF MY FAMILY ARE ALL NORMAL WEIGHT 195 AND UNDER AND THE VEHICLE IS USED MAINLY FOR ON ROAD TRIPS AND BARELY EVER TRAVELS OFF ROAD. DURING A INTERNET SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT SEAT TRACK THAT YIELDED NO RESULTS AND A DEALER VISIT WITH A QUOTE OF 400 DOLLAR FIX. I HAVE LOST ANY RESPECT FOR THE MANUFACTURER THAT SEEMS TO CUT CORNERS WHERE THEY CAN PUT THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN DANGER BY THE USE OF THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET OR MOUNT IS BROKEN AND THE SEAT IS SET FACING SLIGHTLY TOWARD THE LEFT PILLAR. IN INVESTIGATING THIS SITUATION WE FOUND THAT BRACKET FAILURE IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS MODEL. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND WARRANTS A RECALL DUE TO ITS FREQUENCY. THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE AND SHE IS UNSURE ABOUT WHEN THE FAILURE FIRST OCCURRED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE DRIVERS FRONT SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED THE SEAT AND FOUND THAT THE METAL FRAME HAD CRACKED IN THREE PLACES. I DID SOME TEMPORARY REPAIRS WHICH DID NOT LAST VERY LONG. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND IS A DANGEROUS. ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME WITH THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS HANGING LOWER THAN NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE SKID PLATE THAT HELD THE TANK IN PLACE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 153,000.

THE BRACKET UNDER THE SEAT SNAPPED IN A FEW DIFFERENT PLACES, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS BAD WELDING. I FOUND ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED TO WELD IT BACK INTO PLACE, BUT IT ONLY BREAKS AGAIN AND AGAIN. IT MAKES MY SEAT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND IT USED TO SQUEAK, BUT I FOUND A WAY TO FIX THE SQUEAK ON MY OWN. THE WHOLE SEAT MOVES FORWARD BECAUSE THE BACK IS NOT ATTACHED AT ALL, VERY UNSAFE. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN, NOT DUE TO ABUSE OR ANY USE OUTSIDE OF NORMAL USE. *TR

THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SEAT ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SNAPPED IN HALF WHICH NEEDS REPLACE OR WELDED.. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
