2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

MY DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON AT NIGHT. IT WORKS FINE WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKE IF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON. I HAVE REPLACED ALL BULBS AND THIS STILL DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NOW THE OTHER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER JEEPS WHILE DRIVING THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE. THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON AND I HAVE TO ADD COOLANT WEEKLY, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAK. MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK WHEN A MECHANIC TOLD ME THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE AND MIXING WITH MY OIL. THE MECHANIC ESTIMATED I WILL NEED A COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE WITHIN A FEW MONTHS SINCE THE COOLANT-OIL MIXTURE HAS BEEN RUNNING THROUGH MY ENGINE FOR SOME TIME NOW. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. MY REAR LEFT BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE ROTORS AND FINALLY HAD THE MECHANIC REPLACE THEM WITH A DIFFERENT KIND. *TR

RECENTLY WAS TOLD, BY ANOTHER MOTORIST WHO FOLLOWED ME TO MY DRIVEWAY, THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. AFTER CHECKING THE USUAL DEFECTS (FUSES, BULBS, RELAYS) AND NOT FINDING ANY PROBLEMS I WENT ONLINE AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND MULTIPLE POSTINGS RELATED TO BRAKE LIGHT FAILURES ON JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (MINE IS A 2000) I WAS ALSO SHOCKED THAT DESPITE REPEATED POSTINGS ON THIS PROBLEM ,DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS, THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THESE VEHICLES THAT CAUSE BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL, LIGHTS THAT ALERT DRIVERS BEHIND YOU THAT YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SLOWING/STOPPING. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? ARE THEY WAITING FOR A TRAGEDY TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING? THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE RESORTING TO HOMEMADE REMEDIES RATHER THAN PAY THE EXCESSIVE COST OF REPLACING A DEFICIENT ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE TROUBLING. I WON'T EVEN GET INTO MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL RANDOMLY WORKING, ALSO MENTIONED ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS. JEEP CAN CONSIDER ITSELF LUCKY THAT I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM BY ANOTHER MOTORIST, RATHER THAN AS A RESULT OF MY VEHICLE BEING REAR-ENDED BY A DRIVER UNAWARE THAT I WAS SLOWING. MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU COULD OFFER IN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE..INSURANCE TOTALED IT..FRONT END COLLISION..AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR HAD 88,000...MILES. *TR

I PURCHASED A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BRAND NEW IN THE YEAR OF 2000. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE HEATING OF THE VEHICLE. OCTOBER OF 2005 NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. JANUARY 23,2007 THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOW AGAIN FEBRUARY 22, 2008 NOW IT'S THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I'M WOUNDING IF THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. ALSO MY RECENT RECALL ABOUT THE ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN, I PAID OUT OF POCKET $836.90 TO REPLACED MY RADIATOR FAN AUGUST 2, 2006. I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THAT EXPENSED BECAUSE IT WAS RECALLED AFTER THE FACT. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES VEHICLE SHUTS OFF LEAVING DRIVER WITH NO POWER STEERING AND LIGHT BRAKES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER WAY TO DIAGNOSIS THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE NO HEAT AND CAN'T DEFROST THE WINDOWS. I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE BENDER BOARDS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $1,200/. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 6 CYL. 4X4 HAS HAD EXTENSIVE ROTOR PROBLEMS LEADING TO REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS AT 19,000 (COVERED BY DEALER), 40,000 (AT MY EXPENSE), AT 63,520, AGAIN AT MY EXPENSE, AT 90,000, AND NOW AGAIN, REPLACING ALL 4 ROTORS AT 363.50 PER SET AT 112,000 MILES. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2000 SPORADICALLY HAS POWER LOSS CONTINUED BY A SUDDEN ACCELERATION, THE PROBLEM IS MORE FREQUENTLY NOW TOO. *TR

I HAVE A 200 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND AFTER READING MANY SITES (BLOGS, COMPLAINT SITES, ETC.) I SEE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS I AM. MY JEEP HAS 101,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS EXPERIENCING COOLANT LEAKS AND ALSO THE CRACK IN THE CYLINDER HEAD BETWEEN THE 3RD AND 4TH CYLINDER. NOW THE Y WAY I SEE IT, IS THAT IS SOOOOOO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM THEN THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMERS THAT WE ARE SHELLING OUT ALL OF THIS MONEY FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS IN THE VEHICLE DESIGN. *TR
