2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

MY AC FAN HAD BEEN CUTTING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY IN MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT MAY BE A BAD CLIMATE CONTROL CONTROL PANEL. A FEW DAYS LATER, I SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL IN MY CAR AND THE FAN WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL. TODAY I REMOVED THE BLOWER FAN, THINKING IT WAS BAD, BUT IT TURNS OUT THE BLOWER IS FINE, THE BLOWER CONTROL MODULE RELAY AND WIRING HARNESS HAD MELTED IN THE DASHBOARD ABOVE WHERE THE PASSENGERS FEET WOULD REST. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES AND WILL BE GLAD TO SEND THEM UPON REQUEST, BUT I THINK JEEP/CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THIS DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FIRE THREAT AND LACK OF SAFETY (SINCE THE FUSE DID NOT BLOW). I ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE PART THROUGH AN AUTOMOTIVE PARTS COMPANY, BUT THE BLOWER CONTROL MODULE WILL NEED TO BE PURCHASED STRAIGHT FROM CHRYSLER CORP. PLEASE CALL ME OR EMAIL ME WITH ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ONCE AGAIN, I WILL ALSO SEND PICTURES UPON REQUEST. THANKS! *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME HAS BROKEN ON THE WELDS AND THE LOWER FRAME BRACKET AS WELL. *TR

3 OF THE FOUR POWER DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT LONGER WORKING AND THE DOORS CAN NOT BE OPENED WITHOUT FIRST UNLOCKING THE DOOR WITH THE POWER LOCK AND THEN MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE DOOR WITH THE LOCK SLIDER. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR THOSE IN THE BACK SEAT WHO CAN NOT REACH THE POWER LOCK BUTTON, THOSE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT HELP. *TR

I HAVE A BLEND DOOR PROBLEM WITH MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN FOR THE REPAIR YET, BUT I PURCHASED AN EXTENED WARRANTY. THIS ISSUES DOES SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM, AND WHEN MY WARRANTY EXPIRES I HOPE NOT TO HAVE THIS AS AN ISSUE AFTER IT GETS FIXED

CLIMATE CONTROL NOT WORKING. BLOWER FAILS TO PUSH AIR. VENT DOORS FAIL TO MOVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED, THERE WAS NO HEAT COMING FROM THE VENTS. THE CONTACT ADDED ANTIFREEZE TO THE VEHICLE, BUT THE HEAT STILL WOULD NOT WORK. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE AND THEY PERFORMED A FLUSH. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE, BUT THE PIPES BECAME HOT. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE REVOLVING BLEND DOORS AND THE HEATING BLEND DOORS. THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD PAY A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COST. WHEN SHE WENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED, NO ONE FROM THE DEALER CALLED TO INFORM HER. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR COST. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, NUMBER OF CYLINDERS, AND POWERTRAIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GC LAREDO, AND ALONG WITH MANY,MANY OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. THE WARPED ROTORS ARE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR BRAKES, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR AS I DO, ALSO THE TAILLIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, THAT HAS GOTTEN ME PULLED OVER MORE THAN ONCE, EVEN THOUGH I PUT A NEW BULB IN IT EVERY TIME. THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR THAT IS VERY ANNOYING NOT TO MENTION MY TRANSMISSION HAS A SHIFTING PROBLEM THAT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT AND NOW MY RADIATOR FAN WILL NOT WORK SO MY CAR WILL OVERHEAT IF I AM STOPPED FOR TOO LONG. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE PLASTIC SHIELD THAT COVERS THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DULL AND FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ILLUMINATED FOR FOUR DAYS. THE CONTACT WILL HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED BY THE DEALER ON OCTOBER 1, 2007. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE LEAK DETECTION PUMP WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE (CODE 1494). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 119,000.

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A RECALL FOR THE FAN. THE CUSTOMER STATED HE WENT TO HAVE THE FAN REPLACED, HOWEVER AFTER HE LEFT THE DEALER AND DROVE 10 MILES, THE RADIATOR WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF WATER. *KB THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $500.00 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR. THE CONSUMER STATED HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED UNDER RECALL.*JB

HVAC SYSTEM FAILURE ON JEEP WJ. CREAKING NOISES FREQUENTLY HEARD FROM UNDERNEATH DASH, LOAD FAN NOISES HEARD FROM INSIDE DASH. THESE SOUNDS INDICATE THE START OF A BLEND DOOR FAILURE IN THE HVAC SYSTEM. I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER A PARTIAL OR TOTAL RECALL REQUEST TO DAIMLER CHRYSLER ON BEHALF OF THE NHTSA AND JEEP OWNERS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. *JB
