TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE AND ALL OF THEM WOULD ROLL DOWN INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000. UPDATED 01/07/08. *LJ UPDATED 12/12/07. *JB

REPLACE LEFT SIDE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS 3 TIMES IN TWO MONTHS. THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM REPAIR IT THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BEHIND IT WAS FOUND AND REPAIRED CORRECTLY. I COULD HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER WITH AS MANY TIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT OPERATING OR BEEN REAR ENDED AND INJURED AS A RESULT OF THE BAD SYSTEM CHRYSLER HAD. *TR

IN APRIL 2007 THE PASSENGER POWER WINDOW OF MY 2002 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED STOPPED WORKING, NOW 5 MONTHS LATER MY DRIVERS POWER WINDOW HAS DONE THE SAME THING. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NOT A RECALL ITEM...HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? I SEE ON ALL THE BLOGS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RAMPANT WITH 02 GRAND CHEROKEES. *JB UPDATED 09/26/07 *TR

VENTILATION SYSTEM MAKING NOISE BEHIND DASHBOARD. WHEN THE A/C UNIT IS OFF, ONCE I SHUT OFF VEHICLE, NO NOISE WILL BE HEARD, HOWEVER AFTER RUNNING A/C, WHEN SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE, A MOANING OR CREAKING SOUND IS HEARD, EVERYTIME. I HAVE READ THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY MANY OTHERS. POSSIBLE "BLEND DOOR" PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN COLD ENVIRONMENTS OR EXTREMELY HOT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A HVAC SYSTEM BREAKING AND THEN HAVE TO PAY 1500.00 FOR REPAIR. *TR
