TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BOLTS, WHICH SECURE THE SEAT, HAVE LOOSENED OR THE WELDS HAVE CRACKED. HE HAD THE SEAT WELDED BACK TOGETHER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION. THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE ENTIRE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THIS COMPONENT. THE DEALER HAS NOT YET BEEN NOTIFIED. CHRYSLER CANNOT ASSIST WITH THIS ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 179,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE HEAT/DEFROST FUNCTION FAILED IN THE VEHICLE. DURING THE WINTER, THE CONTACT MUST REMAIN COLD IN THE VEHICLE AND THE WINDOWS BECOME FOGGY INSTEAD OF DEFROSTING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS POSSIBLY A CONDENSER LEAK IN THE HEATER, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTROL LEVER FOR THE HEATING UNIT TO DETERIORATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. HE HAS FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS FAILURE WITH THE SAME MODEL; THEREFORE, HE BELIEVES THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. A RELAY SHORTED OUT DUE TO A FAILURE WITH THE HEATING MECHANISM AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE FILLED WITH SMOKE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

BOTH TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES STOPPED WORKING AND WAS CITED BY A POLICE OFFICER. REPLACEMENT WAS ~$500. REAR LIFT GATE LOCK ACTUATOR IS BROKEN, SO CANNOT OPEN LIFT GATE. RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK WILL NOT ALLOW OPENING FROM INSIDE. SHIFT SENSOR/SOLENOID HAS GONE BAD TWICE LEADING TO PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING FROM GEARS (REVS REALLY HIGH BEFORE SHIFTING). ROTORS ARE CONSTANTLY BECOMING WARPED AND BRAKES HAVE TO BE READJUSTED. LEFT BLINKER NO LONGER WORKS AND TO FIX IT, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ENTIRE ENGINE BLOCK FOR ABOUT $800. POWER WINDOW LOCK NO LONGER WORKS. OTHER THAN THAT, CAR RUNS GREAT :). *TR

I AM THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER HANDLING A FIRE LOSS, WRITING ON BEHALF OF THE VEHICLE OWNER MYRA PERIERA. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED WHEN A FIRE ORIGINATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT RESULTING IN A FIRE THAT TOTALED THE VEHICLE. WE SETTLED THE CLAIM. *TR

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE - DUAL CONTROL HEATER BLEND DOOR MALFUNCTIONS. NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

MY CAR HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX, THEN I FIND THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE IS DUE TO THE AUTOMAKER'S PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR IS ON RECALLS FOR THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. I RECEIVED NO NOTICES ON ANY RECALL, AND WHEN I GOT ON THE WEB-SITE TO CHECK FOR RECALLS THERE ARE AS MANY AS 10 MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR AND JEEP. SOME COULD CAUSE ME TO CRASH OR EVEN EXPLODE WHILE DRIVING. WHERE ARE MY RECALL NOTICES? *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND FOLLOWED BY A POLICE OFFICER. HE PULLED ME OVER TO GIVE ME A CITATION FOR AN EQUIPMENT VIOLATION. IT APPEARS WHENEVER I HIT MY BRAKES MY DRIVERSIDE TAILLIGHT WENT OUT INSTEAD OF ILLUMINATING FURTHER. I HAD ONCE BEEN TOLD OF THIS BEFORE BUT EVERYTIME I CHECKED THEY WORKED (ALWAYS WITH MY LIGHTS OFF). AND I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB A FEW TIMES. I HAVE NOW DONE SOME TESTING AND IT APPEARS THE HOUSING IS FAULTY. MY MOM HAS AN 04 LIBERTY WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AS WELL AS MY SISTER IN LAWS 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THIS OBVIOUSLY IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY BOTH MY TICKET AND THE COST TO FIX THE ISSUE, WHEN IT'S AN ISSUE OF FAULTY MANUFACTURED EQUIPMENT. *TR

I STARTED HEARING CREAKING NOISES INSIDE THE DASH SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THIS WOULD NORMALLY OCCUR WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, OR TURNED THE HEAT OR A/C OFF. A WEEK AGO THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS STARTING BLOWING COLD AIR ONLY, REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE SETTINGS. I WAS TOLD AT MY MECHANIC THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN BLEND DOOR ISSUE WITH 1999 TO 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1000 TO REPAIR. *TR
