2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD HISSING SOUND. NOTICED IT WAS A MANIFOLD LEAK AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION NOTICED TWO BOLTS WERE BROKE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, LEFT SIDE OF THE MOTOR BY THE FIREWALL. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO REMOVE THESE BROKEN BOLTS OTHER THAN PULLING THE MOTOR. NO MECHANIC WILL TOUCH IT. THEREFORE LEAVING THE COST ON THE CONSUMER. THE GRADE OF THE BOLTS ARE VERY POOR. THEY KNEW THE 4.7 V8 MOTOR WOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE CONSUMER TO FIX THESE ISSUES. LEAVING THE CONSUMER TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE IT IS NOT SAFE IT IS NOT FAIR. NOW THE CONSUMER HAS TO WORRY THAT'S EXCESSIVE HEAT THAT ESCAPED OUT THE MANIFOLD DUE TO THE BROKEN BOLTS DOESN'T CATCH ANYTHING ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING POSSIBLY INJURING OR FATALLY INJURING THE PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THERE MISTAKE. THESE BOLTS SHOULD NOT BREAK OFF WITHIN 100,000 MILES IT IS A HAZARD TO THE DRIVER THERE OCCUPANTS I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL. IT'S ONE THING IF YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT IT'S ANOTHER THING IF YOU DO AND THERE'S NO POSSIBLE SOLUTION THAT'S NOT WHAT I PAID FOR NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE I CAN'T TRADE IT IN OR SELL IT BECAUSE YOU CAN HEAR IT NOW I'M STUCK WITH DRIVING IT FOR ANOTHER COUPLE THOUSAND MILES AND BE OUT OF THE VEHICLE ON THEIR BEHALF.

TAKATA RECALL - HAD MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN FOR THE RECALL IN JANUARY 2018. THEY FIXED AIRBAG RECALL AND PROBLEM SEATBELT LIGHT CONSTANTLY BEING ON EVEN WHEN DRIVER IS CORRECTLY SEATBELTED IN- THE LIGHT STAYS ON. NOW, IT IS AUGUST 27, 2018 AND BOTH AIR BAG LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ARE BACK ON. ALSO, THE FUEL TANK SKID PLATE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THIS LEAVES THE GAS TANK FULLY EXPOSED, LEAVING YOU SUSCEPTIBLE TO ANY NUMBER OF POSSIBLE SCENARIOS WHERE THE FUEL TANK COULD IGNITE, ESPECIALLY IF ONE WAS TO BE REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT IS NOT PROTECTED BY "SOLUTION" TO REPLACE THE TOW BAR PACKAGE. I KNOW SERVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND FUEL TANK SKID PLATE RUSTING THROUGH COMPLETELY. THIS COMBINATION OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS DEPLOYING UNEXPECTEDLY ALONG WITH THE EXPOSED FUEL TANK, & TRULY ENDANGERS THE LIVES OF THE DRIVER, ALL OCCUPANTS AND POTENTIALLY ANYONE ELSE IN THE VICINITY, IF ONE OR BOTH WE'RE TO EXPLODE. POTENTIALLY CAUSED ME LOSE OF LIFE TO THOSE INVOLVED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTROL FOR THE WINDOWS AND DOORS DOES NOT WORK MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN OR LOCK THE CAR. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION OR WHILE STATIONARY. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

AFTER DOING WUITE ALOT OF RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEEROKEES HAVE A KNOWN STALLING PROBLEM THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED. THESE VEHICLES STALL WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES TO FAIL. CREATING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. EVERY COMPLAINT I HAVE SEEN STATES THAT THE OWNERS HAVE SUNK LOTS OF MONEY AND REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RETURN TIME AND TIME AGAIN. WHY HAS THIS STALLING ISSUE NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED, AND JEEP HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE REPAIRS? I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINS ALL OVER THE INTERNET DESCRIBING THIS SAME STALLING HAZARD.
