TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I AM WRITING TO YOU ABOUT A TWO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. FIRST, THE DOOR LOCKS ARE ALL STARTING TO FAIL. WITHOUT WARNING THEY FAIL TO OPERATE AND YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK THEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF A RESCUE WORKER CAN NOT GET INTO MY VEHICLE TO RESCUE MY CHILDREN. SECOND THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO FAIL INTERMEDIATELY. THIS COULD CAUSE A GRAVE ACCIDENT KILLING ME OR MY CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TALK TO TWENTY TO THIRTY JEEP OWNERS OF THIS SAME MODEL AND APPROXIMATE YEAR AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. YOU HAVE TO GO TO THIS WEB SITE; P://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/VIEWMORECOMMENTS_REVIEW_33943_4.HTML . THIS SITE LISTS OVER 700 COMPLAINTS, MOST OF THEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS AND BRAKE LIGHT. THESE PARTS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE TO HAVE SUCH A NATIONWIDE OUTCRY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE PROBLEMS AND CHRYSLER RECALL ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. *AK

BLEND DOORS ON THE 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CLIMATE SYSTEM WERE BROKEN AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, DEALER WOULD NOT WARRANTY ITEMS, CLAIMING IT WAS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AND NOT AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GRAND CHEROKEES, AND QUOTED ME $1200 TO REPAIR THEM ,AND TO EXPECT THEM TO GO ROUGHLY EVERY 2-3 YEARS. IT SEEEMED TO ME LIKE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND CUSTOMER'S SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR COVERING IT. APPARENTLY IT AFFECTED 1999-2004 MODELS, SO IT WAS A RECENT MODEL. *AK
