THE VALVE STEM ARE LITERALLY BREAKING OFF WHEN ADDING AIR TO MY TIRES. SO JEEP KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM WITH BAD VALVE STEM IN 2008 YET THEY KEPT USING THEM IN 2009?????????? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE BLOW OUTS/ACCIDENTS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE???????????

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC DASHBOARD FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE CAR LOOSES THE ABILITY TO STEER AND DROPS INTO NEUTRAL. THE DEALERSHIP SWEARS THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE N23 RECALL TODAY AND AS I WAS DRIVING INTO THE DEALERSHIP IT HAPPENED AGAIN - YET THEY STILL COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOW I'M WORRIED THAT MY 4WD WON'T WORK

DRIVER-SIDE AND PASSENGER-SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BOTH (AT DIFFERENT TIMES) JUST BROKE FOR NO REASON AND STARTED CRUMBLING IN PIECES. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I ASKED ABOUT IT AT OUR DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR ANYTHING. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY JEEP CHEROKEES HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS COMMON PROBLEM. MY HANDLES HAVE GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I AM AFRAID OF THE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY AND I NOW. OF COURSE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AS WE WERE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN BOTH OF THE HANDLES DID THIS.

UPPER RADIATOR HOSE ELBOW FAILED ALLOWING IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ALL COOLANT FLUID. THE BARB ON THE END OF THE PLASTIC ELBOW BROKE OFF ALLOWING THE HOSE TO SLIP OFF THE ELBOW. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OVERHEATING OF ENGINE. THE DRIVING WAS BEING DONE BY A FIRESTONE TECHNICIAN THAT WAS TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. BASED ON COMMENTS BY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ( HTTP://WWW.CHEROKEESRT8.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=50508).

VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LAMPS,WITH AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP LEVELING SYSTEM,THE SYSTEM HAS BECOME IN OPERATIVE AND HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT SEARCH OUT FAR ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A SAFE VIEWING AREA ON LOW BEAM. A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH NIGHT DRIVING.

IGNITION SWITCH TURNS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN. HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. DEALER TOLD ME THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SWITCH ON OTHER MODEL YEARS BUT NOT MINE.
