2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

OWNED THIS JEEP SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW BACK IN 2000. A FEW MONTHS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING, I LEANED MY BODY TOWARDS THE DRIVES SIDE MIRROR TO LOOK AT IT CLOSELY AND SUDDENLY THE RAIL ON MY SEAT SNAPPED! MY INITIAL REACTION WAS TO CATCH MY FALL BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE ONLY THING I WAS HANGING ONTO WAS MY STEERING WHEEL. BAD MISTAKE, BUT IT WAS MORE OF A SUDDEN REACTION THAN AN EDUCATED DECISION. I SWERVED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE NOT KNOWING WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THANKFULLY, IT OCCURRED AT NIGHT AND NOBODY WAS USING ANY OF THE LANES NEXT TO ME ON THE 4 LANE HIGHWAY. AFTER I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT WHAT HAD OCCURRED, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE I HAD SNAPPED THE SEAT RAIL COMPLETELY! WEIGHING IN AT 170LBS, I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE OVERWEIGHT EITHER. AFTER LOOKING AROUND FOR A NEW SEAT RAIL, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE. DEFIANTLY SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THE AMOUNT OF THE SAME, DANGEROUS PROBLEM... *TR

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. MY WIFE WAS PICKING UP MY KIDS, WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN OVERHEATED. I TOOK MY CAR THE MECHANIC, WHO TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR FAN WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE GRAND CHEROKEE. I LOOKED AT YOUR WEBSITE, AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART, BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. I PAID $735 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART, AND CHRYSLER/JEEP SAID THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME BECAUSE OF MY VIN NUMBER. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE NHTSA TO FIND OUT WHY MY JEEP WASN'T COVERED, SINCE THEY HAD NO OTHER INFORMATION FOR ME. I KNOW THAT THE GRAND CHEROKEE FROM 1999 TO 2004 HAS THE SAME EXACT PARTS AND BODY AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY JEEP ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF, IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO RESTART IT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSE BY THE DEALER OR A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK SINCE HER LIFE IS IN JEOPARDY WHILE DRIVING IF A CRASH OCCURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FRONT DRIVER SEAT TRACK HAS BROKE AND BEEN REPAIRED AND BROKE 3 TIMES NOW IN A YEAR. IT STARTED OUT AS LITTLE WOBBLE LIKE BOLT LOOSE, WHICH IS WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS. MY MECHANIC PULLED THE SEAT OUT AND FOUND THE CRACK AND BROKEN METAL. TOOK IT TO AND CERTIFIED WELDER AND HAD IT WELDED. HE TOLD MY THE METAL WAS CHEAP AND THAT HE HAS WELDED 3 OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE LAST TIME HE WELDED IT FOR ME HE ADDED SOME METAL WHICH LASTED 6 MONTHS BEFORE BREAKING IN ANOTHER SPOT. NOW I JUST HAVE THE BACK WEDGED UP WITH BLOCK OF WOOD AND HAVE NO ADJUSTMENT IN MY SEAT ANYMORE. TALKED TO DEALER AFTER FIRST BREAK AND WAS TOLD THEY NEW OF SOME PROBLEM BUT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTIES OR NO RECALLS.
