I NEED HELP NOW... *TR

2004 JEEP GR CHEROKEE STALLS BRIEFLY, INITIALLY ABOVE 60 MPH BUT BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND NOW FROM 40 MPH. DEALER (MOOTHART JEEP/CERRITOS DODGE) HAS INSPECTED BUT FINDS NO "FAULT CODES" AND AS A RESULT TAKES NO ACTION. THEY AND CHRYSLER 800 LINE'S ANSWER IS 'WAIT FOR IT TO QUIT COMPLETELY AND TOW IT IN". GOING ON FOR FOUR PLUS MONTHS WITH NO ANSWER IN SIGHT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CONTACT SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW. HE NOTICED THAT THE ODOR WAS NOT COMING FROM OUTSIDE OF HIS VEHICLE, SO HE CONTINUED TO DRIVE. APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS LATER, HE FELT A BURNING SENSATION ON HIS LOWER BACK. HE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND OBSERVED A HOLE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT SURROUNDED BY AN ORANGE RING. THERE WAS A CHARRED MARK ON HIS LEATHER BELT AND THE SEAT WAS SMOKING. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 66,800. UPDATED 04-17-09 UPDATED 04/20/09.*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE WEATHER STRIPPING COMPONENT ON THE WINDOWS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT SHE LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE WEATHER STRIPPING WAS RUSTING ON ALL FOUR WINDOWS AND DOORS. THE DEALER COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED AND COULD NOT BE MADE UNDER WARRANTY. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000. UPDATED 02-23-09 *BF UPDATED 02/24/09. *JB

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND NOTICED THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT. IT WAS REPAIRED AND THEN WENT OUT AGAIN RECENTLY. IT IS NOT THE BULB! MY FATHER ALSO HAS A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND HE TOO HAS A TAIL LIGHT THAT DOESN'T WORK ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. I HAVE SINCE BEGUN TO NOTICE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER JEEPS WITH DRIVING AROUND WITH TAIL LIGHTS OUT. I AM WONDERING IF IT IS SOME KIND OF MANUFACTURING FLAW IN THE LIGHT OR THE WIRING SYSTEM. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN RESEARCHING THE MATTER. I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO GET A TICKET FOR A PROBLEM THAT I BELIEVE TO BE FIXED WHEN THE THING GOES OUT AGAIN. *TR

SEVERAL 1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES THAT I HAVE OWNED (I HAVE HAD 4) HAD THEIR BLENDER DOORS MALFUNCTION. THIS RESULTS IN A $1600 FEE TO HAVE THE HEAT/COOLING VENTS REPAIRED SO YOU CAN GET AC OR HEAT. IT IS A CHRONIC JEEP PROBLEM THAT DESERVES A RECALL AS IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE'S JEEPS IT SEEMS. I HAVE A CURRENT 2004 MODEL WHERE ALL THREE SEPARATE BLENDER DOORS ARE BROKEN RESULTING IN NO HEAT OR COOLING. *TR

HEATER SPORADICALLY WORKS (BLOWS COLD AIR AND DEFROSTER DOESN'T WORK) IN MY 2004 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE OVERLAND. PROBLEM USUALLY SELF CORRECTS AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING. DEALER STATES IT IS LIKELY A BLENDER DOOR PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT FIX UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER EXTENDED CHRYSLER WARRANTY UNTIL THE PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF IN THE DEALERS POSSESSION. SO FAR, THEY CLAIM IT HAS NOT PRESENTED ITSELF DESPITE SEVERAL TRIPS TO DEALER. *TR
