2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WIRING BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND THE VEHICLE BREAK, WHICH CAUSES THE ELECTRIC LOCKS AND WINDOWS NOT TO WORK. EITHER MOVING OR STATIONARY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 2008

"TAKATA RECALL" MY DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BEEN REPLACE ONCE, AT MY OWN EXPENSE, DUE THE SEAT BECOMING EXTREMELY "WOBBLY" AND BEING BROKEN FROM THE BEASE FRAME AND FRAME UNDER SEAT. I WAS ON HIGHWAY DRIVING WHEN THE SEAT FIRST BECAME SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE, HAD I UNFORNATUNATELY BEEN STRUCK FROM THE REAR, I WOULD'VE BEEN VIOLENTLY THROWN FORWARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MATTER AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WJ, YET I FOUND NOTHING ON THIS SITE. IT COSTS ME $600, WHICH IS A LOT FOR A DISABLED VETERAN. BUT MY SAFETY COMES FIRST. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I CAME TO A STOP YESTERDAY AND THE SEAT SHIFTED FORWARD AND NOW ROCKS. I LOOKED UNDER IT AND THE SEAT BRACKET BROKE. I LOOKED INTO IT ON INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BUT THEY WERE VERY UNHELPFUL.

I HAVE CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE AND A DEALERSHIP NEARBY TO SEE IF MY CAR HAS A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR BECAUSE MY CAR KEEPS DYING WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IDLES ROUGH. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEVERAL WEBSITES SHOWED A PROBLEM WITH MY MAKE AND YEAR MODEL YET I CANNOT REDEEM A RECALL WHICH I'M GUESSING IS BECAUSE IT'S VIN SPECIFIC. I WOULD JUST LIKE MY CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR REPLACED. MY CAR HAS BEEN KNOW TO DIE SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE DAY WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIME GOING DOWN GEORGE BUSH HIGHWAY TOWARDS LEWISVILLE BEFORE YOU EXIT FOR MAIN STREET AND HAS EVEN DIED IN MY WAY TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNINGS WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT 1/2 A MILE. THE CALENDAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE DOES NOT LET ME SELECT MORE THAN ONE DATE WHICH IS TROUBLING BECAUSE I COULD PUT A CHECK MARK IN A MAJORITY OF DAYS WHERE IT HAS DIED.

TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINE IS LEAKING IT'S BEEN WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES. THE MOTOR HAS AIR IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM AFTER REPLACEMENT OF RADIATOR. THE POWER STEERING LINE WAS REPLACED. THE BACK WIPER MOTOR DOES NOT WORK. SOMETHING INEW THE DASH MAKES A MOVING SOUND AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF ON PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD BRAKE LINES FIXED. THE VEHICLE LOOSES OIL ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE LINE LEAKING. THE BACK WIPER NOT WORKING MAKES IT HARD TO SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW.

THE JEEP WAS STATIONARY WHEN THERE WAS A SOUND, WHEN I STARTED DRIVING THE SEAT BEGAN TO WOBBLE FROM SIDE TO SIDE (LEFT TO RIGHT) AND IT FELT LIKE THE SEAT COULD COME OFF, I HAD TO BRACE MY LEG AGAINST THE DOOR TOO KEEP THE SEAT SEMI-STABLE. LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE I FOUND A WHOLE WEBSITE DEDICATED TO COMPLAINTS, AS WELL AS A WHOLE WEBSITE DEDICATED TO SELLING NEW BRACKETS TO COUNTERACT THIS PROBLEM. IF A THIRD PARTY HAVING TO SELL PARTS FOR A SPECIFIC ISSUE ISNT TELLING ON HOW COMMON IT IS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. I HAVE YET TO BRING IT IN TO THE SHOP, HOWEVER ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINTS ITS AN ISSUE WITH THEM MAKING WEAK BRACKETS THAN CAN FAIL DURING A CRASH. HERE IS THE WEBSITE DOCUMENTING COMPLAINTS, AS WELL AS THE WEBSITE FOR PARTS. HTTP://JEEPSEATBRACKETPROBLEMS.BLOGSPOT.COM/ HTTPS://WWW.JEEPSEATBRACKET.COM/PAGES/THE-PROBLEM WE WILL BE GETTING IT DIAGNOSED, HOWEVER IT SEEMS THIS SHOULD BE AN ISSUE THAT IS ADDRESSED, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW DANGEROUS THIS COULD BE BOTH WITH IF IT BROKE WHILE DRIVING, AND IN A CRASH! I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL, OR HAVE ALL THE OWNERS OF CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM FIXED AT THEIR COST WITH HOW COMMON IT SEEMS, AND IM UPSET THEY HAVENT ADDRESSED IT.

THE BREAK TAIL LAMP SHOTS OUT AND HAD TO REPLACE THE UNIT TWICE THIS YEAR AND THE WAS WIRING SHOTS TO THE BREAK LIGHT AND IT COST ME $1500 FOR THE BREAK LIGHT WIRING SHOT AND THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 3 YRS CONSECUTIVE AND I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS THE BREAKS LIGHTING AND THEIR HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE ON LINE. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL ALL THIS VEHICLES AND REWIRE THEM FOR FREE SINCE IT IS A SAFETY FITCHER. THE WHOLE BREAK WIRING HAD MELTED BECAUSE IT HAD A SHOT AND BURNT THE BULB SOCKETS AND ASSEMBLE UNIT
