TL*- THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 06V199000. THE CONTACT STATES THAT SOMETIME IN THE BEGINNING OF JULY, WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE. HE PULLED OVER AND COULD SEE THAT THERE WAS ANTI-FREEZE LEAKING FROM HIS VEHICLE AND ALSO THAT HIS ELECTRIC FAN CAME APART. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT REALIZED AFTER HIS REPAIR WAS COMPLETED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR HIS VEHICLE. THE CONTACT IS LOOKING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR HIS REPAIR DONE ON HIS VEHICLE AND STATES THAT THE MANUFACTURER HASN'T GOTTEN BACK TO HIM REGARDING REIMBURSEMENT. IF ANY INVOICES FOR REPAIR ARE NEEDED CONTACT CAN PROVIDE A COPY.

TL*- THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER REGARDING HER 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE REGARDING THE ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN. THE CONTACT STATES THAT SHE HAS HAD THIS REPAIR DONE ON THE ENTIRE ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN BACK ON JULY 27,2006. THE CONTACT STATES THAT SHE SENT A LETTER TO CHRYSLER REGARDING THIS REPAIR ORDER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE HER FOR HER REPAIR ON THE ENTIRE ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN. THE CONTACT SAID THAT CHRYSLER SAID THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE HER BECAUSE THE MOTOR WENT BAD INSTEAD OF THE BLADE, BUT IF THE BLADE HAD GONE BAD THEY WOULD HAVE REIMBURSED HER. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR BUT WOULD BE HAPPY IF CHRYSLER WOULD REIMBURSE HER FOR THE PARTS. THE CONTACT HAS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER STATED THAT THEY SAID, IF THE BLADES HAD SHATTERED AND CREATED MORE DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR REIMBURSEMENT WOULD BE IN ORDER. THE CONTACT HAS PROVIDED THE INVOICE OF REPAIR AND THE LETTER TO DAIMLER CHRYSLER ABOUT THE REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS. UPDATE 05/04/07*TR

HEATER DOES NOT WORK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, COST TO FIX IS RIDICULOUS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING THIS EXPENSIVE HAPPENS SO OFTEN ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE READ DOZENS OF ACCOUNTS FROM OTHER WJ JEEP OWNERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM! *NM

WE EXPERIENCED EXTREME PULSING AND JERKING WHILE APPLYING OUR BRAKES. THIS PROBLEM MANIFESTED AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES. WE HAD THE PROBLEM REPAIRED (DEALER SAID THE ROTORS WERE WARPED). THIS PROBLEM IS NOW OCCURRING AGING AT 20,000 MILES. THE PULSING IS EXTREME AND WE ARE NOT CONFIDENT IN THE SAFETY OF OUR BRAKES. WE ARE NOW FORCED TO PAY AGAIN TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. JEEP ISSUED A TSB BUT NOT A RECALL - THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND DIRECTLY RELATES TO THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED AS THIS PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT YET JEEP REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *JB

THE BLEND DOORS HAVE FAILED 2X. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I NO LONGER HAVE DEFROST ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS COSTS OVER $1000 TO FIX. THE BLEND DOORS HAVE FLAPS TO CONTROL THE HOT AND COLD AIR FOR THE HVAC. MINE WAS STUCK ON COLD, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO DEFROST MY CAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER $1000. *NM

NO HEAT FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF 2000 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE. BLEND DOOR ISSUE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL, #06V199000 ON THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE COOLING SYSTEM; FAN. THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH UNDER NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK. THE SERVICE DEALER REPLACED THE RIGHT AND LEFT ROTORS. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED EVERY 12,000 MILES. UPDATE 4/23/07 *TR

WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS USED. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE DEALERSHIP HE BOUGHT PARTS FROM TOLD HIM THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEP. *JB
