2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WE OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. IT JUST STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR ONLY OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE VENTS AND HOT AIR OUT OF THE PASSENGERS SIDE VENTS. WE UNDERSTAND IT IS A BLEND DOOR MALFUNCTION WHICH IS WIDESPREAD AMONG 1998-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS. WE CALLED OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY ESTIMATED IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $800 AND $2000 TO FIX AS THEY WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE ENTIRE DASH OUT OF THE CAR. THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR AN OWNER TO HAVE TO PAY ALL OF THIS MONEY TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURING DEFICIT IN THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. ABOUT EVERY JEEP OWNER WE KNOW HAS FACED THIS PROBLEM. WE FEEL YOU SHOULD DEMAND THAT JEEP RECALLS ALL OF THE JEEPS AND FIX THEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE REPAIR WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING COMPONENTS FAIL DUE TO FAULTY COMPONENTS (BLEND DOORS, A COMPONENT KNOWN TO FAIL FREQUENTLY) CAUSING WINDSHIELD FOGGING, POOR VISIBILITY, LACK OF HEAT CONTROL. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND RECENTLY MY BAND IN MY TRANSMISSION BROKE, SO I HAVE NO 2ND GEAR. I BROUGHT IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN ON THE MAKE AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. IT WOULD BE AN $1800.00 TO $3000.00 FIX. AS OF RIGHT NOW MY CAR WONT SHIFT UNTIL IT REACHES 5000 RPM'S, SINCE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF IT HAS HAPPENED ALOT ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR IF IT WOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

REAR BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO FAIL WITHIN 12-20 MONTHS TIME EVEN AFTER THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT IS REPLACED. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR BOTH REAR TAIL LIGHTS IN MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. WE'RE HAVING TO REPLACE BOTH OF THEM EVERY 12-20 MONTHS NOW. THE TAIL LIGHT CIRCUIT AREA IS KNOWN TO BE A JEEP DEFECTIVE, AS I NOW DISCOVERED. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CAME LOOSE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO BE PUSHED INTO THE BACKSEAT WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING OPERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR CONSTRUCTION, DESPITE THE COMMONALITY OF THIS PROBLEM ON SIMILAR JEEP MODELS. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS ARE CONTINUALLY GOING OUT AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER A NUMBER OF TIMES AFTER HAVING THE LIGHTS FIXED ONLY TO FIND OUT AGAIN THAT THEY HAVE GONE BACK OUT. *TR

I HAVE HAD A SLOW COOLANT LEAK FOR THE LAST YEAR AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY. ALSO THE OIL GAUGE IS READING 0 AT IDLE, BUT GOES BACK TO NORMAL WHEN DRIVING. I ALSO HAVE HAD THREE DIFFERENT CYLINDER MISFIRES IN THE LAST YEAR. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME WHERE THE COOLANT IS GOING AND IF THESE ARE ALL RELATED. I HAVE REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SWITCH, SPARK PLUGS, RAIL PACK, SPARK PLUG BOOTS, AND THERMOSTAT. VEHICLE HAS 120K MILES. *TR

THE VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. ONE GOES OUT, THEN EVENTUALLY THE OTHER ONE GOES OUT. WE HAVE CHANGED BOTH LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND BULBS; THEY LAST FOR A WHILE THEN, EVENTUALLY GOES OUT AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM IS COMPOUNDED BY THE INCONVENIENCE OF BEING PULLED OVER FOR THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOT TO MENTION A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR. THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE THE LIGHT COMPONENTS/AND OR REPAIR HAS BEEN IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OVER TIME. THE LAST TIME WE HAD IT IN FOR A REPAIR THEY CHANGED THE HARNESS ASSEMBLY AND THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS OF THIS ERA. *TR

FRAME TO DRIVER'S SEAT IS BROKEN. THE SEAT IS NOW APPARENTLY OUT OF THE TRACK AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED WITH THE TEMPORARY FIX IN PLACE. SEAT IS NOW TILTED AT AN ANGLE, AND MOVES WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, MAKING IT AN UNSAFE POSITION FOR THE DRIVER TO BE IN. *TR
