2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE - THIS TYPE OF PART SHOULD NOT BREAK ON A 2004 VEHICLE. AS I READ ONLINE THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. APPERENTLY THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART, MY LOCAL AUTO-ZONE STORE COULD NOT EVEN ORDER THE PART FROM THEIR SUPPLIER. JEEP DEALERS WANT IN EXCESS OF $400 DOLLARS FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THIS. MAJOR INCOVEINCE CONSIDERING MY VEHICHLE CANNOT BE USED NOW FOR AT LEAST A WEEK AND I WILL NEED TO TAKE A LIMO TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT AT AN EXPENSE OF $270 ROUNDTRIP UNTIL THE PART GETS DELIVERED. THIS SIMPLY IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD FAIL ESPECIALLY IN A CAR THAT IS ONLY 3.5 YEARS OLD -

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE, MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MADE A BANG NOISE (SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HIT THE DOOR WITH A BAT) AND THE WINDOW SLID DOWN INTO THE DOOR! IT SCARED ME! I TOOK IN THE NEXT DAY TO GET IT FIXED....$400!! AND THE MAN TOLD ME HE'S HAD SEVERAL OF THESE COME IN AND HE'S HAD TO REPLACE. I THINK JEEP SHOULD RECALL THEM AND FIX THEM. I'VE LOOKED OUT ONLINE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PLASTIC PARTS IN THE DOOR THAT WORK THE WINDOW. *JB

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE JERKS SOMETIMES WORSE THAN OTHERS AT THE SAME TIME SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAUGE DROP AND COME BACK ON ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS AND GOES OFF. TAKEN IT TO DEALER MANY TIMES THEY TOLD ME NOTHING IS WRONG AFTER THREE TIMES THEY REPLACED COMPUTER AND SENT ME ON MY WAY BUT IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND A YEAR LATER REPLACED COMPUTER AGAIN AS WELL AS THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND STILL DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I NEED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. *TR

HVAC BLEND DOOR: THE BLEND DOOR FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS FAILED. I FOUND NUMEROUS WEBSITES DEDICATED TO SIMILAR FAILURES FOR OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS. IT IS VERY APPARENT THAT THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE MUST INFLATE HIS TIRES EVERY TWO WEEKS. THE WHEELS ARE ALUMINUM AND THAT IS WHY HE FEELS THAT THE TIRES WERE ALWAYS UNDERDEFLATED. THE DEALER FOUND NO TIRE FAILURE. THE DOT NUMBER AND TIRE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

AT 13000 MILES THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHEN BRAKING AT 30 MPH. DEALER CHECKED AND SAID ALL WAS OK. WHILE EVACUATED FOR KATRINA AN INDPENDENT MECHANIC SAID THE ROTOR WAS WARPED AND DID SOMETHING TO THEM. AT 32000 MILES THE SHAKING BECAME WORSE. CALLED DEALER AND ASKED ABOUT WARRANTY/RECALL AND WAS TOLD NOT APPLICABLE. JUST SPENT $500 TO REPLACE ROTORS IN FRONT. BACK NEEDS WORK ALSO. *JB

VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER DOES YOUR DASHBOARD HAVE A LOUD CREAKING SOUND COMING FROM ITS UNDERSIDE WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR VENTILATION? IS THERE CREAKING FROM THE DASH SECONDS AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF? ARE THERE STRANGE NUMBERS POPPING-UP ON YOUR CLIMATE CONTROL DISPLAY? DOES COLD AIR BLOW FROM ONE SIDE OF THE DASH EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE THE HEAT TURNED ON? YOUR VENTILATION SYSTEM MAY HAVE FAILED, OR, MAY BE IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING. ALL OF THE ABOVE QUESTIONS HAVE "YES" ANSWERS TO THEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WITHOUT A VENTILATION SYSTEM WORKING (ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER), THE DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK. IN THE EVENT OF COLD WEATHER, THE DRIVER IS NOT ABLE TO DEFROST HIS WINDOW. THIS PROBLEM IS TOO COMMON IN JEEPS FOR THERE NOT TO BE A RECALL! *TR

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT QUIT WORKING. THIS IS A DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL VEHICLE. PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. *AK

I HAD TO REPLACE A WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEEROKEE. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME, ALL DIFFERENT WINDOWS. *AK

VISIBILITY- HEAT/COOL ERRACTIC OPERATION OF AUTO TEMP CONTROL 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND- IN COLD WEATHER PRODUCES COLD AIR ON ITS OWN- IN WARM WEATHER PRODUCES HOT AIR ON ONE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND COLD AIR ON OTHER SIDE AT IDENTICAL TEMP SETTINGS. *TR
