2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

2004 JEEP CHEROKEE, TWICE NOW THE FUSE TO THE FUEL INJECTOR HAS BLOWN WITHIN A MONTH RENDERING THE CAR UNDRIVABLE. GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR CUTS OFF, YOU CANNOT STEER IT, AND THE BRAKES SEEM NOT TO WORK WELL AT ALL, YOU PRACTICALLY HAVE TO STAND ON THEM. THIS NEARLY GOT ME HIT TODAY GOING THROUGH A RED LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL AND BARELY GOT THE CAR STOPPED BEFORE HITTING A TREE. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC, HE CHANGED THE FUSE AND THOUGHT THAT IT WAS OK, UNTIL TODAY. TWO YEARS AGO, THE WIRING TO THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS QUIT WORKING AND HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THAT REPLACED, THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THESE VEHICLES. YEARS AGO, I HAD AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM, GOT STUCK, FINALLY GOT CONTROL OF IT, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NEVER COULD TELL ME WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON AFTER THIS OCCURRING. *TR

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, DRIVERS SEAT BROKE A WELD. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE WELD JUST BROKE. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND A USED REPLACEMENT AND DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER $800 TO FIX. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND ALMOST 2000 PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS ALL STATING THE SAME THING, JEEP DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS AND THEY CAN'T FIND A REPLACEMENT SEAT USED OR NEW FOR THAT MATTER AND JEEP DEALER WANTS OVER $500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SEAT FIXED OR REPLACED THE ISSUE JUST HAPPENS AGAIN. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH THANK GOD DID NOT CAUSE A ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN ONLY BECAUSE I WAS NOT ON A BUSY ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RECOVER FROM THE INITIAL SHOCK OF THE SEAT BREAKING. I CHECKED UNDER THE SEAT WAS ABLE TO SEE THE METAL BROKE RIGHT AT THE WELD. *TR

MY JEEP WAS PARKED FACING DOWN A HILL IN A PARKING LOT. I WENT TO GET INTO IT, STARTED IT AND THEN EXITED THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS HOT AND I WAS LETTING THE AC GET GOING. AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL AND PROCEEDED TO HIT 2 PARKED CARS , JUMP A CURB THROWING MY SISTER IN LAW OUT AS SHE WAS NOT ALL THE WAY IN THEN CONTINUED DOWN THE HILL UNTIL IT HIT A TREE AND STOPPED. I NEVER TOOK IT OUT OF PARK AND WHEN WE GOT TO IT THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL. MY SISTER SUFFERED A BROKEN CLAVICLE, TORN LIGAMENTS IN HER KNEE, SEVERELY BRUISED RIBS AND PELVIS AND MY JEEP IS TOTALED. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM AS I HAVE BEEN DOING MY RESEARCH. WHEN WILL THIS BE STOPPED AND HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE OR BE INJURED? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. BOTH OF THE FRONT DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

WHILE PARALLEL PARKING, WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I SHIFTED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OUT OF REVERSE. IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE RAPIDLY REVVED UP AND LURCHED FORWARD. I PRESSED MORE FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, CAUSING THE CAR (A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE) AND MOTOR TO PAUSE, THEN THE MOTOR RAPIDLY REVVED UP AGAIN, OVERCOMING BRAKING. HORRIFIED, AND UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR, I WATCHED AS THE CAR RACED INTO THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE IMPACT, THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL IDLE. I THEN CHECKED THE CAR: CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF, MY HANDS WERE STILL GRIPPING THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LEVERAGE FOR MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY RIGHT FOOT WAS STILL FIRMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO ITS BUMPER AND TAILGATE. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST TWO OF WHICH WERE REPORTED TO YOU EARLIER. IN ALL THREE EARLIER CASES, I WAS ABLE TO BARELY AVOID AN ACCIDENT, BUT NOT THIS TIME. AS NOTED EARLIER, THE JEEP MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY CAUSATIVE PROBLEM. *TR

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE E FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT BROKEN CHANGED IT ONCE WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT IT BROKE AGAIN FROM READING ONLINE COMMENTS FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME OR SEAT BRACKET SINCE I CHANGED THE FRAME IT BROKE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF REPAIRING IT AVERAGE COST FOR NEW SEAT FRAME IS ABOUT 600 DOLLARS AT DEALERSHIP AND IT'S NOT FAIR TO HAVE JEEP OWNERS PAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP WHEN IT'S JEEPS FAULT. *TR
