2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

VEHICLE VIBRATED/SHOOK SEVERELY WHEN BRAKING FROM 40 MPH OR MORE. CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT ROTORS WARPED, AND /OR OUT OF ROUND EVERY 10,000 MILES. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED.*AK

JEEP HAS A DEFECTIVE PART IN THE OPERATOR ASSEMBLY OF ITS POWER WINDOWS WHICH CAUSES THE WINDOW TO FALL INTO THE FULL OPEN POSITION. *AK

I HAVE OWNED A JEEP FOR 3 YEARS. SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE JEEP I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE ROTORS WENT BAD, THE STEERING MANIFOLD WENT BAD, THE ENGINE WENT BAD, AND THE MOTOR IN THE WINDOW WENT BAD AND BROKE. NOW I HAVE REPLACED MY LEFT REAR BRAKE LIGHT SIX OR SEVEN TIMES. IT SLOWLY STARTED TO FADE OUT, AND NOW THE ENTIRE LIGHT GOES OUT AT NIGHT WHEN OUR LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON AND WE HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE. IT IS ALSO BARELY NOTICEABLE DURING THE DAY. WE THOUGHT WE HAD A FAULTY WIRE, BUT WHEN WE TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT, THEY SAID THAT IN EVERY JEEP THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN THE ENTIRE LIGHT AND CASING. THE BULB GETS TOO HOT AND WARPS THE CASING THAT HOLDS THE LIGHT. SO THE LIGHT NO LONGER TOUCHES THE CASING AND WILL NO LONGER WORK. THEY TOLD US ALSO THAT OUR RIGHT REAR LIGHT IS WARPING ALSO, SO BOTH OF THEM NEED TO BE REPLACED. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL, SINCE IT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY JEEPS. AND SHOULDN'T IT BE A RECALL SINCE THEY HAVE A REBUILT ONE KNOWING THE OLD ONES ARE NO GOOD? I DON'T LIKE IT , I DON'T LIKE KNOWING MY TAIL LIGHTS ARE GETTING SO HOT THAT IT IS MELTING THE CASING. COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW ABOUT THIS! *JB

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIBRATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING 35-55 MPH. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. DEALER TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS ON THE FIRST OCCASION, REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS ON THE SECOND OCCASION, AND TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS ON THE THIRD OCCASION. CURRENTLY, THE PROBLEM RECURRED WITH LESS THEN 11,500 MILES.*AK THE ROTORS KEPT WARPING. *TC

I LEFT MY VEHICLE PARKED TO GO SHOPPING, BUT UPON ARRIVAL BACK TO THE VEHICLE I SAW THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW WAS HALFWAY DOWN. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THAT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY WINDOW HAD HAPPENED ONLY 6 MONTHS EARLIER TO THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW. THE REGULATOR OR WIRE MALFUNCTIONED/SNAPPED. I AM HAVING TO PAY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T JUST HAPPEN TO BOTH WINDOWS. *AK

THE LENSES ON THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS WERE CLOUDY. IT APPEARED TO HAVE DEVELOPED CONDENSATION WHICH MADE VISIBILITY VERY DIFFICULT WHEN DRIVING AFTER DARK. THE OWNER CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO TOLD THE HIM IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE BEYOND 2ND GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAD BURNED OUT. THE FAILURE RECURRED ONE MONTH LATER, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE SAME FAILURE. *JB

FRONT BRAKE ROTOR WARPAGE. FONT ROTORS BECAME SO WARPED THAT CAUSING PULSATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL ALMOST RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN WHERE THEY REPLACE THE CALIPERS, ROTORS ETC UNDER WARRENTY PROVISIONS. WHY WAS THERE A REDESIGN OF THE BRAKES IF THERE WAS NOT AN DESIGN ISSUE WITH THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND WHY ARE THEY COVERED UNDER WARRENTY AND NOT UNDER A SAFETY RECALL. IF THE BRAKES ARE INVOLVED IS THAT NOT A "SAFETY" ISSUE. IT IS NICE TO BE ABLE TO STOP WHEN NEEDED. *AK
