I scheduled a recall appointment for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. The dealer confirmed that the appointment was scheduled and that the necessary recall part had been ordered. However, when I arrived, my vehicle was parked and no work was started. I was not given an estimated repair time, and after waiting for 3 hours, no progress had been made. This recall is mandatory, and the dealer failed to complete it. I am reporting this as a safety issue and request that the matter be investigated.

We took back to the dealership affordable auto next day and two more times after that. All the problems still were there. Yesterday I asked could they put freon in the truck since they wont fix anything so the air conditioner does not work and I have a heart condition. I was told they will not put freon in the jeep until we catch up on car payments. we are a month behind because tried to get windows fixed but motors is dead completely. I told them that was wrong and we were threatened that they will repossess the jeep if we don't like it.

There was an open recall for rear structural enhancement of the vehicle that required a hitch be installed. I scheduled the recalled repair, it was marked completed and i was told they are no longer doing that repair. My son works for another jeep dealership and informed me they have to do that no matter how old and they are still performing the needed repair but mine has been marked closed so he is unable to help fix mine. How do i address this issue to have it completed correctly

My jeep does the death wobble anytime I hit a small bump in the road, pothole, Lane marker...etc. it is very hard to control at that point and seems as though it might flip if it gets any worst or hit a big enough bump. It is very hard to control and to get to stop once it gets going. It poses a huge safety concern for myself and others being that I have to get the truck to stop when it does the death wobble which means someone coming behind me would/should have to stop as well and definitely is a nuisance to myself and other drivers. Please help. I have read and been told it could be any one of the steering or suspension components.

When the steering wheel is turned either completely to the right or left while moving forward or in reverse, a scrubbing noise is heard that appears to be the tire wheel coming in contact with the suspension.

When driving the truck will randomly shut off or stall no matter the speed or if its parked. replaced the crankshaft and cam shaft position sensor and still has the same issue. These vehicles must have a bad ECM unit on them or something.

On 10/21/21 myself and my child (rear passenger in booster safety seat) were in a solo vehicle accident that resulted in our vehicle hitting an embankment before rolling 3x landing on the wheels again in the right position on the same side of vehicle we originally had impact. We were less than 1 mile from our home, headed to school, there was no unsafe conditions, and I don't have any memory of the morning or accident due to severe injury and brain injury, but there's no reason or logical reason for me to be driving in the manner or at the speeds that I was. I passed a car in front of me on a very rural road right as we came upon the almost figure 8 curves on a road I drive everyday. The people I passed and many witnesses including my small child stated that I was gaining more speed as we came to the sharp curves, I crashed at approximately 65-70mph on a 30mph road, there were no brake marks or any sign of an attempt to slow down on my part, but I have too wonder because I am not sure anything that would have made me want to drive that recklessly, especially when I had my child in the vehicle. My child was asked what was happening before we wrecked and she said she heard a pop sound? And I said "oh [XXX]", that was the last thing that happened. We rolled 3x with not one airbag deploying, and the way that the jeep is caved in, I am very much interested in this model being looked over for structural flaws, pictures will be provided.

FRONT SEAT FRAME BROKEN.. CAUSING SEAT TO MOVE FROM TRACK MOUNTING THAT IS BOLTED TO FLOOR CAUSING DRIVER TO BE ABLE TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND IN CAUSE OF ACCIDENT CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY AND OR DEATH.

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT 1145PM WHEN OUT OF NO WEAR THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT ? THE TURNING SIGNALS WORKED BUT HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND WOULDNT COME BACK ON, THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW OTHER TIMES BUT WHEN I HAD THE AUTOSHOP LOOK AT IT THEY COULDN'T FIND A ISSUE? TONIGHT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF I COULDNT SEE ANYTHING CAUSING ME TO GO INTO THE DITCH AND BACK ON THE ROAD CAUSING DAMAGES TO FRONT BUMPER ,RADIATOR, UNDERCARRIAGE!!! THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND WHEN I TALKED TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUES !!! MY JEEPS BEEN IN TEXAS , IOWA , NEW YORK, FLORDA .... I HAD A FORD WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND THEY FIXED IT BEACUSE IT WAS A SAFTY ISSUE AS IT WAS A INFERNAL MOTHERBOARD ISSUE! JEEP YOU NEED TO FIX THE JEEPS OF BUY THEM BACK FOR TOP BOOK VALUE FOR THEIR YEAR! ATTACHED IS PHOTO OF THE HEADLIGHT OUT AND BUMPER DAMAGE.

ANYTIME I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN ROAD OR WHEN TURNING THE FRONT END LOSES CONTROL AND VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY SENDING ME INTO OTHER LANE. SEVERAL WIRES HAVE MELTED UNDER THE HOOD AND THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT GETS EXTREMELY HOT WHILE DRIVING A DISTANCE OVER 13 MILES

VERY LOUD NOISE STILL EMITTING FROM DASHBOARD WHEN VEHICLE AFTER TURNING ENGINE OFF. HAS GOTTEN LOUDER AFTER TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. USING TODAY'S DATE AS A REFERENCE BECAUSE IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LOUDEST OF ANYTIME I EVER NOTICED. TODAY IT WAS LOUDER THAN EVER. THOUGHT MY JEEP WAS GOING TO EXPLODE.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES!!! IVE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BEACUSE THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER PART FAILED DUE TO THE PIGTAIL MELTING INTO THE HARNESS. THE REPLACMENT PARTS DO THE SAME THING AFTER HAVING THE HEAT/AC ON FOR A WHILE YOU CAN SMELL IT BURNING AND MELTING ... IVE WENT THREW 4 NEW REPLACMENT PARTS ALREADY AND THIS SEEMS LIKE A RECALL AS EACH TIME I WAS TKLD IM LUCKY IT DIDNT CAUSE A FIRE AS THE WIRES WERE COMPLETELY MELTED.

UNKNOWN ISSUE : I LOOKED IT UP ON YOUTUBE AND PEOPLE CALL IT THE DEATH WOBBLE? YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD FINE AND THEN HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AT ANY SPEED. *YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF STEERING DUE TO THE SHAKING! OTHER ISSUE IS THE CRUISE CONTROLLER KICKS ON AND THE RPM SPIKES TO RED ZONNNNE THE ONLY WAY TO DISENGAGE IT IS TO TURN VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON!!!

I GOT A SHORT CIRCUIT BY THE AIR CONDITIONER. IT CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED THE WHOLE INSIDE OF MY CAR.

WHEN DRIVING, THE STEERING PULLS TO THE LEFT SIDE FAIRLY HARD. ALSO, WHEN MAKING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS THE RESULT IS A VERY JERKY AND NOT SMOOTH. WHEN THERE IS A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS AND TURNS SLIGHTLY CAUSING POSSIBLE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE IS DRIVE-ABLE HOWEVER THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME CAUSE FOR CONCERN. HAVE REPLACED THE SUSPENSION WITH BRAND NEW SHOCKS AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE STEERING WHEEL'S RESPONSE TO BUMPS. WHEELS ALSO APPEAR TO BE IN GREAT ALIGNMENT AS WELL. I HAVE SEEN WHERE THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET THE ISSUE CORRECTED FOR A FEELING OF COMFORT AND SAFETY WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER SEAT WOBBLES AND SHIFTS WITHIN THE SEAT ITSELF NOT THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE SEAT BRACKET DOWN. I BELIEVE IT IS THE INSIDE BASE OF THE SEAT. I FEAR THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR IF THE SEAT WILL STAY MOUNTED TO THE VEHICLE.

WHEN TRAVELING AT 75MPH OR JUST MAKING A SLOW TURN AT AN INTERSECTION IT SHUTS OFF. I HAVE SEEN RECALLS ON OTHER 2004 JEEPS BUT NOT THIS VIN # IT IS DANGEROUS AND DEADLY. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND THE WEATHER CONDITIONS MAKE NO DIFFERENCE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S

TAKATA RECALL. CLOCK WILL NOT GO OFF AT ANYTIME, SO BATTERY GOES DOWN OVERNIGHT ALL THE TIME. BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. IGNITION KEY DOESN'T MATCH DOOR NOR HATCH LOCKS. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS VIBRATION AT TIMES WHEN IN MOTION. WHEN TEST DRIVING THIS VEHICLE I JUST ASSUMED THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SITTING WITH AN OLDER BATTERY WAS WHY IT NEEDED TO BE JUMPED. THEN AFTER I GOT IT HOME AND IT SAT OVERNIGHT AND I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM; I THOUGHT I'D LEFT SOMETHING TURNED ON. THEN I DISCOVERED THAT THE CLOCK WILL NOT GO OFF. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 5/17/2019 AS IS.

THE DRIVERS SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET (FRONT, LEFT) HAS BROKEN DURING NORMAL USE 8 TIMES.THE PART WAS WELDED BACK TOGETHER EACH TIME SO FAR. TODAY, 3 OR THE 4 MOUNTING BRACKETS BROKE AT ONCE WHILE I WAS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE, THE 2 REAR BRACKETS AND THE SAME FRONT BRACKET THAT TYPICALLY SNAPS. THIS TIME I WASN'T DRIVING, BUT A FEW OF THE OTHER BREAKS OCCURRED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, OR DURING NORMAL ACCELERATION FROM A STOPLIGHT. ONE BREAK ALSO OCCURRED DURING A LEFT TURN ON A CITY STREET AND I NEARLY LOST CONTROL WHEN THE SEAT LEANED TO THE SIDE. THE FIRST BREAK HAPPENED IN 2009 WITH AROUND 45,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, AND THEY HAVE HAPPENED ON A REGULAR BASIS SINCE THEN.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD 45MLH THE DRIVE SHAFT STARTED SHAKING AND VEHICLE CAME TO COMPLEET STOP. MY KEEP CURRENTLY HAS 116800 MILES ON IT . . THIS IS PRE MATURE FAILURE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY DEALER .

MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE ALL THE TIME CRUISE CONTROL AUTOMATICALLY KICKS ON AND OFF I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT CAUSES THE JEEP TO IDLE EVEN AFTER I HIT THE CANCEL BUTTON. CAISING ME NO CONTROL OVER MY SPEED EVEN AFTER I HIT THE BRAKES ... IVE HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES CALIPERS AND ROTORS BEACUSE THE CRUISE CONTROLLER DONT WORK RIGHT AND THE DEALERAHIP SAYS ITS NOT A RECALL????

THE WELDS ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAVE BROKEN CAUSING YOU TO MOVE UPON TURNING THE JEEP OR ROCKING BACK AND FORTH, I'VE HAD AN 01 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE SAME ISSUES

MY 2004 JEEP HAS 110,768 MILES ON IT AND DURRING THE RECENT COLD SPELL IN WESTERN NY THE HEATER AND AC STOPPED WORKING ! MY WINDOWS FOGGED UP AND COULDN'T SEE , I WAS A SITTING DUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I COULDNT SEE. I WAS TOLD TJAT THE WIERS UNDER/INSIDE THE DASH BEHIND THE GLOVE BKX HAS MELTED CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT ? THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECALL ISSUE AS IF THE ORIGINAL WIERS R MELTING DURING NORMAL USE IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. PLEASE RECALL AND FIX.

THE PART OF FACTORY INSTALLED GAS TANK SKID PLATE BROKE. THE PIECE UNDERNEATH THE TANK BACK PART FELL TO THE GROUND WHILE THE FORWARD PART REMAINED ATTACHED. IF I WAS BACKING UP, THE PLATE COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON THE GROUND FORCING PLATE INTO THE GAS TANK SPILLING GAS AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A FIRE FROM THE FRICTION OR HOT EXHAUST . AT THE TIME I WAS JUST PULLING OUT A GAS STATION WHEN I HEARD A SCRAPING NOISE. I PULLED TO THE CURB AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THE PLATE HANGING THERE. IF I HAD BACKED UP I COULD HAVE EASILY RUPTURED THE GAS TANK AND CAUSE A FIRE. THIS PLATE IS ATTACHED TO THE MAIN SKID PLATE BY WELDS AND IS A VERY HEAVY GAGE AND WILL NOT BEND EASILY. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE FRONT OF THE PLATE FELL WHILE I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS?

WITHOUT WARNING MY JEEPS ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS WHILE STOPPED OR DRIVING IT WILL SHUT OFF AND NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER. WHEN IT HAS SHUT OFF IT WILL STILL TURN OVER AND I HAVE POWER TO EVERYTHING I NEED BUT IT WILL NOT FIRE UP. THIS HAPPENED FIRST ON A SUNNY MORNING DRIVING IN TOWN. I TOWED IT BACK TO MY HOUSE AND COULD NOT GET ANY CODES. IT FIRED UP AND I THOUGHT IT WAS FINE SO I KEPT DRIVING IT. AT THIS POINT ABOUT TEN MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WHILE CRUISING ALONG A BUSY ROAD IT SHUT OFF, I HAD POWER AND THE ABILITY TO STEER BUT NO POWER STEERING. LUCKILY I HAD A DRIVEWAY TO PULL INTO AND I COASTED INTO IT. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. AT THIS POINT I HAVE MY JEEP AT THE DEALER IN MODESTO CA FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND THE WIRING HARNESS FOR 1400 DOLLARS AND THEN THEY WILL SEE IF THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. NOT A GUARANTEE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AS I CANNOT SPEND THIS TYPE OF MONEY WITH THE HOPE THAT WHATEVER OTHER PROBLEM THERE MIGHT BE WILL BE MORE AFFORDABLE OR EASIER TO DIAGNOSE. THIS HAS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT IS INHERENT WITH THE JEEP ITSELF AND A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. NOT ONLY DO I NOT BELIEVE THIS IS MY FAULT AS A USER OF THE VEHICLE BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED AN UNSAFE OPERATING CONDITION AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON ANOTHER ROAD SUCH AS, A DIRT ROAD, MOUNTAIN ROAD, WINDING ROAD, IN ICY OR RAINY CONDITIONS, OR ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO SELL THIS CAR FOR ANY REASONABLE PRICE, AND THE PRICE FOR REPAIR IS OVER A QUARTER OF THE BLUE BOOK OF THE CAR. OVERALL I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE IT WAS MADE FOR AND THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THANK YOU

I HAVE OWNED MY JEEP FOR 3 YRS NOW AND ITS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL VEHICLE BUT LAST YR I NOTICED THE GAS TANK COVER STARTING TO HANG DOWN. NOW THERE IS A BIG PIECE ABOUT TO FALL OFF AND THE TANK IS COMPLETLY EXPOSED. I HAVE READ A LOT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND AM NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON. IT SEEMS THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO HAVE A HITCH INSTALLED AND MAYBE NOT. IT SEEMS THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS AND IS MY TANK GOING TO JUST FALL DOWN ONE DAY. ALSO WHY CANNOT ANY ONE GET THE AIR BAG RESTRAINT MODULE FOR THE RECALL OF MY VEHICLE. WHAT GOOD IS HAVING A RECALL IF THEY CAN DRAG THEIR FEET. I JUST WOULD APPRECIATE SOME INFO AND HELP TO GET MY CAR FIXED. THANK YOU

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.

THE FUEL TANK SKID PLATE IS RUSTED AND ONE OF THE STRAPS ARE BROKE. DONT DARE TO DRIVE FOR FEAR OF TANK FALLING OUT.

"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.

STEERING GEAR BOX SUDDENLY LOCKS UP ON SLOW TURNS IN TRAFFIC

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.

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.

IGNITION SWITCH-P41. I WENT TO THE GARAGE ONE SATURDAY MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK AND COULD NOT CRANK UP MY VEHICLE. THE IGNITION WOULD LITERALLY NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR ANYTHING. THE LIGHTS TO THE CAR WOULD BLINK AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION; HOWEVER, THE SAFETY RECALL IS ON A MODEL CAR ONE YEAR AFTER MINE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE IGNITION WOULD NOT CRANK UP. ONE TIME, I LITERALLY HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR ONLY TO TRY AND START IT AGAIN BUT IT WOULDN'T CRANK. IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO, I HAD TO BANG ON THE IGNITION PARK TO GET IT TO TURN THE KEY AND FURTHER START THE IGNITION. THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME AS THE RECALL BUT I'M OUT OF POCKET SOME $687.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I HAD TO WAIT 3 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME THROUGH. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS MODEL CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS WELL. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND IT IS SO FRUSTRATING TO TRY AND PROVIDE FOR MY CHILD WHEN I CAN'T USE THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION THAT I HAVE PLUS THE FACT THAT IT COSTS AN ARM AND A LEG JUST TO FIX. I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR NOTE AT THIS TIME. PLEASE CONSIDER THE 2004 MODELS IN THIS RECALL.

I THEN MADE AN APPOINTMENT IN THE SUMMER OF 2016, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY WILL CALL ME BACK WHEN THE PARTS COME IN. IN JANUARY, I CALLED SCRANTON DODGE AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN TELLING ME NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. OUT OF FRUSTRATION I CALLED A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT IS 40 MINUTES AWAY. THEY SAID THEY HAD THE PARTS. I DROPPED MY VEHICLE OFF, AND WAITED FOUR DAYS WITH NO COURTESY CALL. AFTER BEING TOLD TO CALL BACK TWO TIMES, I FINALLY GOT A HOLD OF THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE TOLD ME HE DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE PARTS AND WOULD HAVE TO ORDER MORE. WHY DID THEY TELL ME THEY HAD THE PARTS WHEN THEY REALLY DIDN'T? WHY DIDN'T I RECEIVE A CALL THE FIRST DAY IT WAS THERE LETTING ME KNOW? WHY CANT I GET THIS DANGEROUS RECALL REPAIRED?

I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM FCA IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND MAY 2016. TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES)OR METRO ATLANTA CHRYSLER DEALERS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND CAN OFFER NO TIMELIME FOR REPLACEMENT.. I HAVE CALLED FCA TWICE ABOUT THIS. AT THIS POINT, WHAT ARE MY LEGAL OPTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE?

I RECEIVED THE NOTICE THAT MY CAR NEEDED TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE ORC REPAIRED. OUR LOCAL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT GET THE PART. I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER FOR VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AND HAD TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. NO ONE HAS CALLED ME BACK IN OVER 10 DAYS. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO TO GET THIS FIXED?

I JUST TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THEY CAN NOT "FIX" OR REPAIR THE HEATED SEAT ISSUE BECAUSE THEY MAY RIP THE SEATS. REALLY? OH AND THAT THEY WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF THEY DO. . .

FCA RECALL R60/NHTSA 15V-673 AFTER I GOT THE MAIL ON MAY 10, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER HENDRICK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AT DULUTH GA. I WAS TOLD THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN ONE DAY, SO I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ON MAY 14. ON MAY 14, I GOT UP AT 8AM AND DROVE MORE THAN 30 MILES FOR THIS RECALL SERVICE. I WAITED AT THE DEALER PLACE FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS BEFORE THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART WAS GOING TO BE IN STOCK WITHIN 3-5 DAYS, HOWEVER THEY NEVER CALLED ME UNTIL I CALLED THEM ON MAY 20. I RESCHEDULE THE SECOND APPOINTMENT WITH THEM ON MAY 20 FOR 9AM. I GOT UP EARLY AND DROVE THAT FAR TO THERE, AND THE ONLY THING I COULD FIND AFTER SPENDING ANOTHER 2 HOURS IS THAT THEY TOLD ME THE PART THEY HAVE IS NOT THE RIGHT ONE. I FEEL VERY FRUSTRATED ABOUT THIS RECALL SERVICE AND I AM DOUBTING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE SERVICE FROM THE FCA DEALER. I WOULD NOT BELIEVE A DEALER WHO SHOULD MAKE A MISTAKE JUST ON ORDERING THE RECALL PART, WOULD GET THIS RECALL SERVICE DONE RIGHT.

MY SON WAS INVOLVED IN AN UNEXPLAINED CAR ACCIDENT ON 9/26/15 IN OUR 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CRASH RESULTED IN EXTENSIVE PHYSICAL AND FIRE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THE LOSS OF MY SON'S LIFE. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY AND THE CAUSE REMAINS UNKNOWN. SHORTLY AFTER I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN RECALL R60 FOR UNINTENDED AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. MY SON WAS A NEW DRIVER AND ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO INFORMS ME SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED AND DISPOSED OF PRIOR TO THE RECALL THEY CAN NOT HELP ME AND I MUST CONTACT THE SUBROGATION DEPARTMENT TO TRY TO GET MY INSURANCE COMPANY'S MONEY BACK. THIS IS NOT MY CONCERN THOUGH I HAVE NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I'M ANGRY THAT THIS MAY BE THE REASON MY SON IS NO LONGER WITH ME AND ALL I GET IS A SO SORRY, THE CAR IS GONE, WE CAN'T HELP YOU. WELL SO IS MY SON. ..UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF *CN

THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - RECALL D-13. IT IS LISTED THAT IT EXISTS IN SOME 2004 MODEL YEAR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 4.0L ENGINE. CHRYSLER SAID MY VIN IS NOT ONE OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAD THE RECALL. THEY INDICATED THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR VEHICLES BUILT 12/16/03-2/6/04. CHRYSLER SAID MY VEHICLE BUILT 0M 4/24/2004. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THIS PART MALFUNCTIONED ON MY VEHICLE AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT AND BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD GET REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

MY JEEP HAS WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHERE ALL THE FACTORY SUSPENSION PARTS START FAILING RAPIDLY. YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR STOPPING ABOVE 40MPH BECAUSE IT SHAKES SO BAD YOU LOSE HOLD OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEPS FROM THE 2000S.

WHILE ON MY TRIP ONE OF THE TIRES WENT FLAT. WHEN I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED, I LEARNED THAT THE 4 TIRES WERE NOT NEW, BUT WERE ALL ABOUT 5 YEAR OLD AND EACH HAD A PATCHES ON THE SIDEWALL. WHEN REPUTABLE DEALERS HAVE A TIRE THAT AGES OUT OF THEIR INVENTORY AT APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS, THEY DESTROY THE TIRE BY DRILLING THE SIDEWALL. THEY PAY A RECYCLER TO DISPOSE OF THE TIRE. IN MY CASE, THE TIRES HAD NO SIGN OF WEAR AND APPEARED NEW. IT APPEARS THAT MAWT IS INVOLVED IN PURCHASING SCRAP TIRES AND REPAIRING THEM, OR PURCHASING REPAIRED SCRAP TIRES, AND SELLING THEM AS NEW. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PRACTICE. I HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTATION.

COMPLAINT IS ABOUT RECALLS BEING PAINFUL AND FCA NOT SEEMING LIKE IT WANTS TO PERFORM THEM: R60: PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE THOUGH WE GOT A NOTICE LABELED "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" MONTHS AGO.

IS OUR VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE???

FAST FORWARD, 11/23/2015 THIS JEEP ONCE AGAIN STARTED ACCELERATING AND RACING IN PARK AND WITH THE HAND BRAKE UP. MY JEEP HAS 64,K AND IS TAKEN CARE OF, LOOKS GREAT. BUT, ONCE AGAIN I CANNOT RISK PUTTING MY FAMILY OR MYSELF IN IT TO DRIVE. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS STORIES LIKE THIS AND SOME A LOT WORSE. MY INSTINCTS WERE TO JUST SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND I DID ALL4 TIMES OVER THE YEARS. I AM NOW ON A FIXED INCOME AND WOULD LOVE TO BE HAPPY AND KEEP THIS JEEP GRAND CHEROEE BUT, I CAN NO LONGER TAKE THIS CHANCE. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST DIE OR HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE CHRYSLER WAKES UP AND RECALLS, I'M GUESSING THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO FIX. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TAIL LIGHTS AND HAD REPAIRS SEVERAL TIME, WHEN I GOT A TICKET AFTER IT WAS ALREADY FIXED A FEW TIMES I HAD TO PAY. FAILED NJ INSPECTION 1 TIME DUE TO WHAT THEY CALLED A WIG WAG, WHICH JEEPS ARE KNOW FOR, WHO OUT THERE IS ON THE CONSUMERS SIDE, NO ONE IT APPEARS. NO RECALLS ON THIS THIS BUT, THEY WILL GET BACK TO ME ON A PASSENGER RESTRAINT MODULE, MAYBE NEXT YEAR 2016, IF WE ARE LUCKY. ALL 4 TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AND THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE USING THE KEY. MY VEHICLE MUST BE SAFE FOR GRANDCHILD.

I'VE HAD PROBLEMS ON AND OFF WITH THE POWER WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND STEREO SYSTEM. THE POWER WINDOWS/DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK. UNLESS I TURN THE INTERIOR DIMMER LIGHT SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION, THE LIGHTS STAY ON. WHEN THIS IS DONE, I CANNOT SEE THE DISPLAYS (I.E., SPEED, ETC.). THE STEREO SYSTEM WILL PLAY AND THE CD PLAYER WORKS; HOWEVER, I CANNOT SEE THE DISPLAY AT ALL --- CHANNELS, TRACK #S, ETC. ALL OF THESE ISSUES, EXCEPT THE STEREO SYSTEM, CREATE DRIVING HAZARDS.

WAS CONTACTED BY JEEP ABOUT RECALL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. HAVE CONTACTED THEM TO SCHEDULE REPAIR AND THEY SAY THE PARTS NOT AVAILABLE YET. CONTACTED JEEP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THEY CANNOT GIVE ANY TIME FRAME FOR MAKING THE PART AVAILABLE. SEEMS TO ME IT HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE SOME KIND OF TIME FRAME FOR A REPAIR.

ARM REST WIRE CONTROL DOOR LOCKS DASH OVERHEAD LIGHTS TURN LIGHTS REMOTE MIRROR CONTROL HAS SHORTED OUT 3 TIMES NOW DRIVING IN ALL TYPES OF ROADS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NHTSA IS REQUIRING FCA TO EXTEND THE $100 GIFT CARD OFFER TO OWNERS OF THESE SUV OR TO INSTALL A REAR TRAILER HITCH TO PREVENT GAS TANK EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF A REAR COLLISION. I RECEIVED A CARD FROM JEEP, CALLED THE HOTLINE BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THERE ARE NO REMEDIES AVAILABLE FOR THE 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER RECOURSES AVAILABLE TO ME OR IS THE IFORMATION I AM GETTING FROM FCA CORRECT?

ON 09/12/2015, I WAS REAR ENDED AT A STOP LIGHT IN A GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE FACTORY TOWING PKG.IE FACT. TRAILER HITCH AND WAS TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL ASSISTANCE ARRIVED. MY REPLACEMENT VEHICLE, ALSO A GRAND CHEROKEE, HAS NO TRAILER HITCH. AFTER READING SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT THE GAS TANK FIRE RECALL, I WAS VERY INTERESTED IN GETTING THIS RECALL DONE. I WENT TO BERTERA CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE EXPECTING A TRAILER HITCH TO BE INSTALLED AS A PROTECTIVE DEVICE FOR THE FUEL TANK. TO MY SURPRISE I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. RECALL NUMBER N45. WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED EVERY THING SEEMED TO PERFORM CORRECTLY. THE TRAILER HITCH BENT DOWN TO PROTECT THE FUEL TANK, THE FRAME BUCKLED, AND THE BODY STRETCHED BETWEEN THE DOORS. I SEEMS TO ME THAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DRIVER DOOR, EVERYTHING PERFORMED AS IT SHOULD TO ABSORB ENERGY FROM THE CAR STRIKING MINE. THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS JAMMED CLOSED BECAUSE THE TOP FRONT EDGE OF LEFT REAR DOOR OVERLAPPED THE REAR EDGE OF THE DRIVER DOOR. THIS CAUSED ME, THE DRIVER, TO BE TRAPPED IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL MY PASSENGER CAME AROUND THE CAR AND FORCED THE DRIVER DOOR OPEN. HAD THE FUEL TANK RUPTURED AND CAUGHT FIRE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN DIRE STRAIGHTS. SO WHILE THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT ABOUT A NEW ISSUE, IT IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT HOW THE DEALER HANDLED MY RECALL. EVERYTHING I HAVE READ LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER AGREED TO INSTALL HUTCHES ON ALL THE VEHICLES THAT DID NOT HAVE THE TOWING PKG. OR A MOPAR AFTERMARKET HITCH.

RECEIVE A N47 CUSTOMER CARE SATISFACTION NOTICE (REAR STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT) . WHEN I CONTACTED CUSTOMER CARE THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE MY JEEP DID NOT HAVE A TRAILER HITCH I DID NOT NEED TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND HAVE A HITCH INSTALLED. MY GAS TANK IS BEHIND THE REAR AXLE AND HANGS BELOW THE BUMPER. I BELIVE THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE I THINK IT PRESENTS A DANGER IN A REAR END COLLISION. I THINK THEY JUST WANT TO AVOID THE EXPENSE.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER AT ONE OF YOUR DEALERSHIPS AND WHEN I TEST DROVE IT I TOLD MY SALESMAN THAT IS SWAYED IN THE BACK END AND HE SAID I JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO IT CAUSE I'M USED TO A CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE BALL JOINT IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT AND THE REAR TENSION BARS AND PARTS ARE BROKE AND HAVE BEEN SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THIS IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR. IT HAS EVEN RUINED MY TIRES ESPECIALLY THE PASSENGERS BACK ONE. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WILL BE OVER 1,000 TO FIX AND THEY WILL ONLY COVER 220 OF THE COST AND I PAY THE REST. I PAID OVER 7,000 FOR THE JEEP AND I FEEL IT'S THEIR JOB TO FIX IT ALL. IF NOT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. THIS MOTION IS ENOUGH TO PULL ME ALL OVER THE ROAD IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS.

I JUST GOT A COPY OF THE N47 REAR STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT RECALL. YOU PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. WHO TOOK THE PAYOFF ON THIS ONE? THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHEN THESE VEHICLES GET HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN THE GAS TANK EXPLODES. THE 1999-2004 NEED TO BE INCLUDED UNDER THE N45 RECALL SAME AS THE 1998 AND EARLIER MODELS. AS WE ALL KNOW THE 1998 AND EARLIER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES ARE A FADING MODEL DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLES. MEANING THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT HAVE TO SPEND AS MUCH MONEY TO FIX THESE 1998 AND EARLIER MODELS AS THEY WOULD IF YOU INCLUDED THE 1999-2004 MODELS WHICH SHOULD BE INCLUDED BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME STRUCTURAL PROBLEM AND WILL BE ON THE ROAD LONGER. MY GOODNESS THIS IS COMMON SENSE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING. I WANT MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE RECALLED AND FIXED. DEALERS HAVE QUOTED ME PRICING BETWEEN $600.00-$750.00 TO HAVE THIS FIXED CORRECTLY ON MY MODEL. HOW ABOUT HAVING JEEP JUST GIVE ME THE PARTS AND I WILL FIX IT MYSELF. (THAT'S A JOKE) ANYWAY FORWARD THIS TO CHRYSLER/JEEP FOR ME AND MAKE SURE MY COMPLAINT GETS REGISTERED, SO THAT WHEN THIS REAR STRUCTURAL MISHAP HAPPENS TO ME AND I SURVIVE THE INCIDENT EVERYONE WILL HAVE COPIES WHEN THE LAWSUITS BEGIN.

MY CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES ON HIGHWAY, RURAL ROADS AND MAIN ROADS. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HAVE SEVERAL WRECKS. WHEN THE CAR CUTS OFF, I LOSE ALL POWER. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE HAD TO WALK BACK HOME OR GET SOMEONE TO COME GET ME IF IT WAS FURTHER AWAY. I HAVE HAD TO USE SOMEONE CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL DO IT AND I WILL WRECK MY BROTHER-IN-LAW WAS KILLED IN A SIMILAR ACCIDENT. AFTER A WHILE THE VEHICLE WILL START AGAIN, BUT DOES THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT STARTED OFF ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT, WHEN I WOULD JUST CRANK THE CAR AND THE FIRST TIME IT WOULD NOT CRANK BUT THE 2ND TIME IT WOULD. IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT OCCURANCE. WHEN I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO SEE IF IT WILL CRANK. IT DOES AND THEN I PUT IN DRIVE. IT CUTS OFF AGAIN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE AND SOMETIMES IF YOU ARE GOING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED AND YOUR CAR CUTS OFF, YOU LOSE POWER AND COULD EASY WRECK. IF I WAS TO PULL OUT AND IT CUT OFF, I COULD BE HIT AND KILLED OR A FAMILY MEMBER IN THE CAR WITH ME. I WAS STRANDED RECENTLY, A GENTLEMAN CAME OVER AND BROUGHT SOME EQUIPMENT WHEN I TOLD HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE EITHER THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR THAT IS BAD. HE ALSO SAID THERE COULD BE A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES OF THAT MODEL YEAR.

I'VE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE WITH MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ESPECIALLY WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND FUEL PUMP. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP 3-4 TIMES. NOW ITS READING THE RPM EXTREMELY HIGH.

I AM JUST WANTING TO INFORM YOU THAT APPROX. 3+ YEARS AGO I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE AIRBAG RECALL AND ALSO REC. THE RECALL FOR THE GAS TANK PROBLEM. WHEN I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL (3 YRS LATER) THEY FINALLY GOT THE PART AT THIS TIME THEY ADVISED ME THAT I WAS ALSO ON THE GAS TANK RECALL AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN. I FOUND OUT THAT THE FIRST AIRBAG REPAIR DID NOT WORK AND THEY WERE SCHEDULING FOR THE SECOND REPAIR. AT THE TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN THEY NOT ONLY DIDN'T HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS TO DO THE 2ND AIRBAG REPAIR BUT I ASKED THEM WHEN THE TRAILER HITCHES WERE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THAT REPAIR AND STRANGELY MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER ON THAT RECALL. WHICH MADE ME VERY SUSPICIOUS AS TO WHY I WAS FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN DROPPED. I FIGURED THEY WERE REDOING THE RECALL LIST TO MAKE IT LESS BUT MY PROBLEM IS THAT I NEED A SAFE CAR AS I TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILD AND 86 YEAR OLD MOTHER IN MY CAR. WHAT KIND OF GAMES ARE THEY PLAYING? I WOULD LIKE ASSISTANT WITH GETTING THE 2 RECALLS TAKEN CARED OF OR HAVE THE BUY BACK OPTION OF THE $1,000 OVER MARKET VALUE THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT SO I CAN TRAVEL SAFELY WITH MY FAMILY IN A SAFE CAR.

I HAVE REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH TWICE IN ONE YEAR (2014). I HAVE PURCHASED A RE-MANUFACTURED ENGINE 2014, SHIPPED FROM TEXAS TO DETROIT, MI.

OUR JEEP WAS RECALLED IN NOV OF 2012 FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS THAT COULD DEPLOY AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE RIGHT IN FOR REPAIRS AND HAVE SINCE BEEN DRIVING IT AROUND WITH TWO CHILDREN IN IT. WE THEN RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE IN JAN 2015 STATING THAT THE ORIGINAL REPAIR DOES NOT SATISFACTORILY ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL FOR INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENTS. WE HAVE SINCE USED THE VEHICLE ONLY WHEN NEEDED, BUT NOT WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR, AND HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A CRASH. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH. TODAY WHEN WE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SAID THAT WE HAVE BARELY DRIVEN THE CAR IN SEVEN MONTHS AND WE NEED TO KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS AT LEAST "SAFE TO DRIVE", WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY ALSO STILL DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT WE WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WANT THEM TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ARE ALLOWED TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON A CAR WITH A POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM, BUT THEN TELL THE CONSUMER THAT THEY HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THEY GET THE PARTS. ...UPDATED 10-13-15 *BF

I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS INVOLVED IN A RECALL. I TRIED A YEAR AGO TO GET IT FIXED; THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS CAME IN. I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE RECALL, AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I NEED THIS FIXED ASAP.

I NEED THIS REMEDIED ASAP, I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS A MASSIVE RECALL ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS WITH NO WAY TO FIX IT. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AND NOBODY HAS PARTS. IF THE SEATBELTS MALFUNCTION, OR THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, AND THE JEEP IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I DRIVE, SO I DO NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF WAITING UNTIL PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. I'VE HAD TO DRIVE IT. *TR

I BROUGHT MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE JUNE 2004, BARLEY USED. I HAVE REPAIRED A LOT OF THINGS UNDER THE HOOD ESPECIALLY WITH THE SENSORS AND THE BLACK HARNESS WIRE IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, IT SPLIT IN 2 AND STOPPED RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAD TO HAVE IT SLICED AND MENDED TOGETHER, AFTER 8 MONTHS RECENTLY, I HAD TO REPAIR THE BLACK WIRE AGAIN DUE TO MOISTURE SETTING IN THE TAPE AND WIRES, I READ ON THE INTERNET CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE NEVER PUT THE BLACK OR YELLOW WHERE'S IN THE DOOR, BECAUSE THEY BEND AND BREAK. THIS CAUSED MY THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND REMOTE SIDE MIRRORS NOT TO WORK. THE DASH BOARD METERS WENT HAYWIRE, I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED, SENSORS AND THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND REPLACED. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY NOW, GIVING CODES OF P0141, P0137 WITH BAD FUEL MPG. IT RIDES LIKE IT IS SMOTHERED IN FEATHERS. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT COULD BE THE FUEL PUMP. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT, FOR 2 DAY'S AND NOW BACK ON. HOW FRUSTRATING AFTER BUYING THIS CAR FOR $23,900 IN 6/2004, I HAVE PAID AN ESTIMATE IN CAR REPAIRS OF $4-5000 SO FAR. IF CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS THEY NEED TO CONFESS, AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS WITH RECALLS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES. I AM SURE OTHERS ARE SUFFERING TOO. *TR

THE 1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SEAT TRACK HAS A WEAK POINT ON THE REAR SCISSOR ASSEMBLY. WHEN YOU START TO NOTICE A WOBBLE OR CLICK IT MEANS ONE OF THE TINY CONNECTING PIECES HAS BROKEN.

I STARTED TO DO RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND HAVE CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS. I HAVE LOOKED INTO GETTING THE ISSUE FIXED AND FOUND IT TO BE VERY DIFFICULT. I HAVE FOUND TWO WEB SITES THAT LIST COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I REALLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER JEEP SAFETY RECALL M35 / NHTSA 12V-527 (THE UPDATED VERSION THAT INCLUDES THE 2002-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINAL WHICH ONLY INCLUDED 2002-2003 JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES): "THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL (ORC) MODULE ON YOUR VEHICLE (VIN: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) MAY EXPERIENCE A FRONT AIRBAG AND/OR SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT. AN INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT WHILE DRIVING COULD DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." (DISTRACT? SERIOUSLY? THAT'S HOW A RANDOM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IS DESCRIBED???) "CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR)... SIMPLY CONTACT YOUR CHRYSLER, JEEP, OR DODGE DEALER RIGHT AWAY TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT..." WE TRIED TO SCHEDULE THIS "RIGHT AWAY" WITH OUR DODGE DEALER. WE WERE TOLD THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. IN FEBRUARY 2013 WE WERE TOLD THE SAME THING. IN APRIL WE WERE TOLD THERE IS A ONE YEAR WAITING LIST FOR THIS DEFECT TO BE REPAIRED AS CHRYSLER IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE PARTS (THE DEALERSHIP WORDS, NOT MINE). THIS I FIND HARD TO BELIEVE. WHAT IS THE NHTSA GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DISCOLORED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE PROPERLY.

THE WIRES IN THE WIRING HARNESS THAT GOES THROUGH DRIVER DOOR GET FRAYED WITH TIME FROM NORMAL DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING. THIS DISABLES ALL POWER WINDOWS, DOORS, MIRRORS, ETC IN THE CAR. EVEN AFFECTS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. RE-OPENING AND CLOSING DOOR MAY RESULT IN CONTINUED OPERATION OF POWER WINDOWS, MIRRORS, ETC, BUT IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. *TR

AFTER ONLY 9,000 MILES THE ROTORS WERE SO WARPED THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I REPLACED THE ROTORS. 10,000 MILES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. NO ONE WOULD "OFFICIALLY" ADMIT THAT THE ROTORS AND OR THE CALIPERS ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE V8 VERSION OF THE JEEP. I HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS WITH AFTERMARKET SLOTTED AND VENTED ROTORS 3 MORE TIMES AT A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE TO ME. THE DANGEROUS PART OF THIS IS IT WARPS QUICKLY AND CAUSES THE CAR TO BE HARD TO CONTROL WHILE BREAKING: NOT A GOOD SITUATION. IN MY OPINION THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PUT A LARGER BRAKING SYSTEM TOGETHER "LARGER ROTORS AND CALIPERS TO DISSIPATE THE HEAT PROPERLY IN THE V8 VERSION OF THE 2004 AND PROBABLY OTHER GRAND CHEROKEE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR ROLL OFF A CLIFF, LANDING ON FRONT END ROLLING SEVERAL TIMES THEN ROLLED SIDE OVER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

DRIVER SIDE ELECTRIC ADJUSTABLE SEAT BRACKET BROKE, MAKING THE SEAT WOBBLE AND ROCK FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND BACK AND FORTH.

I HAVE A 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE . SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I STARTED TO HAVE STALLING ISSUES. HOT OR COLD, DRY OR WET, FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY OR LAST, IT DIDN'T MATTER. THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, RECRANK IT AND PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE JUST TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, OTHERWISE IT DRIFTS OUT OF CONTROL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT NOW IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYDAY. IT'S DANGEROUS BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE TO DRIVE TO GET TO WORK AND FROM THE INTERNET A LOT OF OTHER JEEP USERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHY NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DEFECT. *TR

THERE IS THIS VERY THIN WIRE VERY THIN WIRE ATTACHED TO THIS HEAVY METAL THING THAT JUST SITS IN WINDOW. THE WIRE COMES APART SO EASY AND IT SHOULD NOT. NOW THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE OVER THE MONTHS. YOU USE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVER DOOR AND RIGHT AWAY EVERYTHING WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. NOW THAT IT IS HOT OUTSIDE I CAN NOT GET IT TO WORK AT ALL MY WINDOWS STAYED ROLLED DOWN I CAN'T ADJUST MY MIRRORS AND MY ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK FOR DRIVER DOOR. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN SO MANY WAYS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL. *TR

PLASTIC SURROUNDING DOOR HANDLES CRACKED. FIRST INCIDENT WAS ON RIGHT REAR DOOR. I ASSUMED MY CHILD WAS PLAYING ROUGHLY. SOON AFTER A SIMILAR CRACK APPEARED IN THE FRONT DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. NEXT CAME THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND NOW ALL FOUR DOOR PANELS HAVE CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC SURROUNDING THE DOOR HANDLES. THE LEFT REAR DOOR CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE AND THE RIGHT REAR DOOR DOES NOT OPEN CONSISTENTLY. I EXPECT IT TO FAIL COMPLETELY SOON.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY GOT OUT OF THE RECALL OF THE GAS TANKS FOR MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I BET YOU ARE ALL FILLING YOUR POCKETS AT OUR EXPENSE FOR THE 2ND TIME. DID WE NOT BAIL THEM OUT? ARE WE NOT PAYING FOR THAT? CHRYSLER JEEP IS A CRAPPY PRODUCT. NOT ONLY AM I DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TRANSPORTING MY SICK MOTHER TO MANY DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS FOR HER CANCER, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. WHO IS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL? I ALSO THINK THEY SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED REGARDING THE DESIGN OF MY JEEP FOR BUILDING IT SO ANY REPAIRS IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL REQUIRES A FULL DASH REMOVAL. JUST FOR THAT IT IS $1,000.00 NOT INCLUDING PARTS.MY ESTIMATE CAME TO $1,400.00 JUST TO REPLACE A HINGE AND A FLAP FOR THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.REALLY!! EVEN THE SERVICE TECHS AT JEEP DEALERS THINK IT WAS BUILT THAT WAY TO MAKE MONEY IN THE SERVICE DEPT. THEY SAY THEY WOULD NEVER BUY THIS PRODUCT, AND THEY WORK FOR JEEP. CRAPPY DESIGN, CHEAP PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS MADE OF PLASTIC. SHUT THEM DOWN!! THEY CAN BUY MY JEEP BACK. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WITH A NEW BULB. THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BECOME UNGROUNDED MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS NO POWER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE JEEP OWNERS WITH MODELS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE OF SORTS. I HAD CONTACTED JEEP AS WELL, ONLY TO BE TOLD THE VEHICLE IS OLD. I PURCHASED THE CAR 9/2007 AND WITHIN ONE MONTHS TIME THE REGULATOR DIED AND WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS 3 YEARS OLD. THE REGULATOR ON THE SAME WINDOW FAILED AND THE TAILLIGHT BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. *TR

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON. AND ALL GUAGES ON DASH WERE MOVING IRRATICALLY. AFTER GOOGLE SEARCHING, I FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE 2004 CHEROKEE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WIRES IN THE DRIVER DOOR BREAKING. WE CHECKED THE WIRES IN THE DRIVER DOOR BOOT AND THE BLACK WIRE WAS BROKE. FIXED THAT PROBLEM. NOW THE WIRES IN BOTH FRONT AND AND REAR DOORS DRIVER AND PASSENGER ARE BROKEN. REAR SPEAKERS DO NOT WORK, WINDOWS DO NOT ROLL DOWN, AND DOORS DO NOT LOCK. SENSOR FOR INTERIOR LIGHT ON REAR PASSENGER DOOR DO NOT WORK. WINDOW IS PARTIALLY DOWN AND NO WAY TO PUT BACK UP. MY DRIVER SEAT IS MAKING A ROCKING MOVEMENT THAT JUST RECENTLY STARTED. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED BY FAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ALL THAT I HAVE IN A VEHICLE. THIS YEAR AND MODEL JEEP HAS ALOT OF ISSUES THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO AKNOWLEDGE. THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. I JUST CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR JEEP AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY JEEP, AND THEY HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS THAT I TOLD THEM ABOUT. DO THEY JUST IGNORE THE CONSUMER OR NOT WANT TO ADMIT THEIR ERRORS IN THIS MODEL. *TR

SINCE THIS BEGAN THE STEERING IS NOW LOOSE AND PULLS AS IF NEEDING AN ALIGNMENT ALTHOUGH THIS WAS DONE APPROX. LESS THAN 1 YR AGO. IT HAS BECAME DIFFICULT TO KEEP CAR STRAIGHT WHEN DRIVING ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING (YET). POSSIBLY RELATED TO RECALL BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR MY VIN WAS INCLUDED.

THIS HAS CAUSED THE SEAT TO BECOME MORE OF A ROCKING CHAIR, WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH. TO MY SURPRISE A DEFECT SUCH AS THIS DOES NOT WARRANT A RECALL. I WISH CHRYSLER ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEMS THAT SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG SOME OF THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. IF THE DRIVERS SEAT BREAKS LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR DURING AN IMPACT OR ROLLOVER, THE DRIVER COULD EASILY BE THROWN FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE STILL STRAPPED IN HIS/HER SEAT.

(RELATING TO THE DRIVER-SIDE SEAT ONLY) MY DAUGHTER AND I WAS WAITING AT A TRAFFIC STOP, (I WAS DRIVING) WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND MY ENTIRE SEAT INCLUDING MYSELF SWUNG BACK. BECAUSE OF THE BACKWARD MOMENTUM, IT CAUSES ME TO ABRUPTLY PRESS FURTHER ON THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULL ON THE SIDE TO INSPECT THE SEAT. I FOUND THAT THE TWO FRONT BRACKETS UNDER THE SEAT HAD BROKEN OFF. SINCE I HAD ADJUSTABLE POWER SEAT, I LOWER THE SEAT TO ALIGN THE BROKEN BRACKETS TO WEDGE UNDER THE BAR CAUSING THE SEAT TO STABILIZE OR AT LEAST HOLD IN A SEMI-SOLID POSITION. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ARGUED THAT THIS IS AN UNUSUAL INCIDENT WHERE I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE SEAT BRACKETS WOULD BREAK OFF AND POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ESPECIALLY FOR A JEEP, THIS VEHICLE IS MEANT TO BE DRIVEN ON AND OFF ROAD. AGAIN, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

FUEL PRESSURE DAMPENER ON THE FUEL RAIL LEAKED, DRIPPING GASOLINE ON MANIFOLD. THIS IS A NON-MECHANICAL PART. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR A FUEL LEAK TO DEVELOP EXCEPT FOR POOR ENGINEERING/CONSTRUCTION OF THE PART. LEAKING FUEL IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

RECEIVED NOTICE 11/8/12 THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 12V527000 WAS ISSUED FOR A RECALL OF 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON WHICH A COMPONENT IN THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE MAY FAIL CAUSING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS NOTICES, SINCE JANUARY 2013 AND AS RECENTLY AS JANUARY 2, 2014, FROM CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND BOTH LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERS, TO ALERT US TO THIS RECALL, UPON ATTEMPTING TO SCHEDULE OUR JEEP FOR RECALL RESOLUTION OUR LOCAL DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO SCHEDULE THAT RESOLUTION. BOTH DEALERS CLAIM THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE "YET" TO SERVICE THE RECALL. THIS CLAIM AS BEEN STATED BY THE DEALERS EVERY FOUR MONTHS SINCE JANUARY 2013 AND AGAIN AS RECENTLY AS JANUARY 4, 2014.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE JEEP RECALL FOR FUEL TANK EXPLOSIONS IN REAR END CRASHES. WHY HAS NOTHING HAPPENED? CAN'T YOU ENFORCE THIS RECALL? I CONTACTED JEEP LAST MONTH AND THEY SAID THEY WERE STILL IN THE "EARLY PLANNING PHASES", WHICH IS A COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF TIME THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM! PLEASE ENFORCE THIS, I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY 3 CHILDREN AROUND IN OUR JEEP UNTIL THIS IS FIXED! *TR

THIS IS HORRIBLE AND I WAS SCARED. BUT I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY UP MY STREET AND IT STARTED TO RACE, I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE AS I TURNED IN MY PARKING SPACE MY CAR WAS STILL RACING AND WOULDN'T BRAKE AND I ENDED UP DRIVING INTO MY PROPERTY, IT SEEMED TO ACCELERATE AS I KEPT BRAKING AND UP THE STEPS THE CAR WENT AND THE CAR THEN STOPPED INCHES FROM MY DOOR. IT WAS RACING AS I WAS BRAKING AND IT WOULD STOP NOT UNTIL IT HIT THE PORCH STEP. IT WAS HORRIBLE, THIS CAR HAS NEVER LAUNCHED LIKE A ROCKET. IT WAS LIKE IT MAGICALLY ACCELERATED.

DEFECT IN ELECTRICAL WIRING IN DRIVER-SIDE DOOR PREVENTS WINDOWS FROM ROLLING DOWN (A SAFETY HAZARD) AND DOORS FROM LOCKING/UNLOCKING. THE BACK HATCH WILL EITHER REMAIN IN LOCKED OR UNLOCKED MODE DEPENDING ON WHEN THE WIRING FAILS (THIS MODEL JEEP DOES NOT INCLUDE A MANUAL WAY TO USE A KEY TO UNLOCK/LOCK THE BACK HATCH). IF A PET WAS IN THE BACK OF THE SUV THAT HAD A "PET FENCE", THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO GET THE PET OUT OF THE VEHICLE (OR LUGGAGE/CARGO). THIS IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING IN THE EVENT OF A REAR END COLLISION WHERE THE GAS TANK MAY CATCH ON FIRE (CURRENT RECALL). THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON AS IF A DOOR WAS OPEN. TURNING OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS PREVENTS THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER/GAUGES/ETC FROM ILLUMINATING AT NIGHT. IF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT TURNED OFF, THEN ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON CAUSING A HAZARD AT NIGHT AS WELL. DRIVER-SIDE WIRING WAS FIXED IN OCTOBER OF 2012. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013, THE PASSENGER-SIDE WIRING IS CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEM - WINDOWS/DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT AN ANOMALY. IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT THE WIRING CAN FAIL IN BOTH FRONT DOORS WITHIN A ONE YEAR PERIOD - CREATING SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

THE METAL BRACKET UNDER MY DRIVER'S SEAT HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN/SNAPPED APART. THEREFORE, I'M WOBBLING AROUND WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY MODEL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT APPARENTLY THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING SAME. *TR

LIFT WITHIN WINDOW BROKE SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. WINDOW WOULD NOT STAY UP AND CABLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY 5-6 MONTHS LATER, A SECOND WINDOW HAD THE SAME ISSUE THIS TIME WHILE PARKED-ANOTHER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON 10/20/2013 THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED TO A THIRD WINDOW WHILE IN REVERSE PULLING OUT OF DRIVING GOING NO MORE THAN 2 MPH-ANOTHER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AT THIS TIME. *TR

THE AIR BAG HAS NOT DEPLOYED, YET. I RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE JAN. 1ST 2013 AND HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY ANYONE SINCE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE STATUS OF RECALL M35/NHTSA 12V-527. NEXT WEEK WILL BE TEN MONTHS OF WHICH I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL. THANKS, *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V527000 (AIR BAGS) HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE TIME FOR REPAIR.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A CAMPING TRIP WITH MY FAMILY ON 9/2/13 ON HWY 2 IN LAUREL HILL, FL, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A TWO-LANE ROAD WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NANOSECONDS LATER THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I MANAGED TO KEEP FROM RUNNING OFF THE ROAD AND PULLED OFF ONTO THE NARROW SHOULDER. MY WIFE'S KNEE WAS HURT PRETTY BADLY AS THE DASH OPENED UP AND HIT HER KNEE WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED TEARING THE SKIN OFF HER LEFT KNEE AND BRUISING BOTH THE KNEE AND SURROUNDING TISSUE AND THE INNER PORTION OF HER RIGHT KNEE AS WELL. HER INJURY DID NOT REQUIRE ANY HOSPITALIZATION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BECAUSE I READ ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL (M35) THAT AFFECTED MY YEAR MODEL AND MAKE. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THOUGH OUR EXPERIENCE SEEMED TO MATCH UP WITH THE RECALL. THE JEEP IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOLLOWING AN INSPECTION AND THE CASE REMAINS OPEN. *JS

DEFECT IN ELECTRICAL WIRING IN DRIVER-SIDE DOOR PREVENTS WINDOWS FROM ROLLING DOWN (A SAFETY HAZARD) AND DOORS FROM LOCKING/UNLOCKING. THE BACK HATCH WILL EITHER REMAIN IN LOCKED OR UNLOCKED MODE DEPENDING ON WHEN THE WIRING FAILS (THIS MODEL JEEP DOES NOT INCLUDE A MANUAL WAY TO USE A KEY TO UNLOCK/LOCK THE BACK HATCH). IF A PET WAS IN THE BACK OF THE SUV THAT HAD A "PET FENCE", THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO GET THE PET OUT OF THE VEHICLE (OR LUGGAGE/CARGO). THIS IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING IN THE EVENT OF A REAR END COLLISION WHERE THE GAS TANK MAY CATCH ON FIRE (CURRENT RECALL). THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON AS IF A DOOR WAS OPEN. TURNING OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS PREVENTS THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER/GAUGES/ETC FROM ILLUMINATING AT NIGHT. IF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT TURNED OFF, THEN ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON CAUSING A HAZARD AT NIGHT AS WELL. DRIVER-SIDE WIRING WAS FIXED IN OCTOBER OF 2012. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013, THE PASSENGER-SIDE WIRING IS CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEM - WINDOWS/DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT AN ANOMALY. IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT THE WIRING CAN FAIL IN BOTH FRONT DOORS WITHIN A ONE YEAR PERIOD - CREATING SAFETY ISSUES. *JB

I WAS TAKING A TURN AT LESS THAN 15 MPH WHEN I HEARD A SNAP, AND I FELT A SLIGHT JOLT TO THE LEFT. AFTER TAKING THE TURN, I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE BACK UP TO SPEED WHEN MY SEAT SUDDENLY CAUSED ME TO LEAN BACK. IF I WERE AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED AT EITHER THE TURN OR WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING I FEEL I WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. UPON INSPECTION OF MY SEAT I FOUND THE BRACKET TO MY SEAT HAD SNAPPED AND CAUSED MY DRIVERS SEAT TO TILT BACKWARD AND FORWARD AND SIDE TO SIDE UNDER ACCELERATION, BRAKING AND TURNING. I FEEL AS IF THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, ESPECIALLY AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *JB

JEEP HAS TWO RECALLS ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, BUT HAS DONE NOTHING FOR MONTHS. I RECEIVED A NOTICE RECALL M35/NHTSA WARNING THAT AIRBAGS MIGHT DEPLOY ON THEIR OWN. SO FAR, JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. THEY SENT ME A FRIGHTENING NOTICE AND THEN, NOTHING. AUTO MANUFACTURERERS NEED TO BE REQUIRED TO FIX DEFECTS IN A TIMELY FASHION. I KNOW THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL THAT OCCURRED EARLIER THIS SUMMER, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN A NOTICE ABOUT IT. SO TWO SAFETY ISSUES AND SO FAR, NO REPAIR. SHOULD I EVEN BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE? *TR

JUST BOUGHT MY 2004 JGC IN APRIL 2013. PULLING UP TO MY DRIVEWAY WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT, I HEARD A STRANGE POP AND MY DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED BACKWARDS AND BECAME UNSTABLE. LOOKED AT THE SEAT BRACKET AND ONE SIDE IS CRACKED. IT HAD MADE SNAPPING NOISE BEFORE BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I THANK GOD I WAS DRIVING SLOW AND WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND THERE ARE 100'S OR THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED PROPERLY BY JEEP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL ROAD. I WAS COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT AND AS I WAS STOPPING THE DRIVER SEAT MADE A POPPING SOUND AND THE SEAT BACK WAS LEANING TOWARD THE RIGHT. I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND PART OF THE FRAME HAD BROKEN. THE SEAT IS NOW WOBBLY AND LEANS TO FAR ONE WAY. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO STRIP THE SEAT AND WELD THE FRAME TO FIX IT. SOME TIME LATER THE BOTTOM FRAME THAT CONNECT THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR HAD BROKEN AND MY HUSBAND WELDED IT. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAD ENDED A LOT WORSE IF THE SEAT FRAME HAD BROKEN TO THE POINT THAT EFFECTED MY DRIVING. I TRIED CALLING JEEP DIRECTLY BUT BASICALLY GOT AN "IT NOT AN ISSUE WE COVER OR FIX AND YOUR ON YOUR OWN". I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IS A VERY COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM. PEOPLE ARE EVEN STARTING TO SELL BEEFIER FRAMES FOR JEEP SEATS AND SELL FOR $200. JEEP IS LOOKING AT A VERY LARGE LAW SUIT IF SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. BUT ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN I WILL NEVER BUY A JEEP AGAIN! *TR

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY CHRYSLER VIA PHONE CONVERSATION IS NOT RECALLING MY VEHICLE. THE 1998-2004 WERE LISTED AS HAVING SEVERE DESIGN FLAW WITH THE GAS TANK LOCATED NEAR THE REAR END AND PRONE TO IMPACT EXPLOSIONS. CHRYSLER STATED MY VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR RECALL SINCE I DID NOT HAVE A TOW HITCH INSTALLED AND IT WAS NOT A 1993-1998 VEHICLE. 1. IF MY VEHICLE HAS A UNPROTECTED GAS TANK AND OVER 250 VEHICLES HAVE CAUGHT FIRE ON IMPACT WHY IS MY CAR NOT GOING TO GET A PROTECTIVE GUARD ( THIS WAS DONE ON OTHER VEHICLES THAT OWNERS COMPLAINED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY) 2. HOW IS A TOW HITCH GOING TO STOP A BACK END COLLISION? 3. WHY IS THE DESIGN AFTER 2004 OF THE GAS TANK NOT LOCATED SO CLOSE TO REAR END. IF THE LOCATION ISN'T A SAFETY CONCERN IT SHOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED TO BE RELOCATED. CHRYSLER FOUGHT THIS RECALL FOR YEARS AND NHTSA ALLOWED IT UNTIL A PETITION WAS CIRCULATED ON CHANGE.ORG TO HAVE MODEL YEARS 1998-2004 CARS RECALLED. COULD IT BE THE VEHICLES CHRYSLER WILL FIX ARE EVEN STILL ON THE ROAD AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE EAGER TO FIX THOSE. I AM STUCK WITH A CAR CANNOT BE SOLD OR DRIVE.

THE SECOND TIME WE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM THE DEALER FOUND THE SAME WIRE IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION UNDER THE GLOVE BOX HAD JUST BROKEN IN TWO. THIS COST ME AGAIN AND CHRYSLER WOULD NOT HELP. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME COMPLAINT ON THIS SAME VEHICLE ON THIS SITE. THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE STUDIED BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD.

I HAD TO STOP AND PUT CAR IN PARK THEN TRY AGAIN AND IT WORKED HOWEVER WHEN I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY IT DID THE SAME THING. WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED MY MECHANIC BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CODE WAS P0700. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT ALOT OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON IT. *TR

I WAS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE AND THE SEAT FRAME BROKE DISLODGING THE SEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT, LEFT SIDE FRONT AND REAR BRACE HOLDING SEAT TO FLOOR CRACKED APART. I HAVE READ THAT MANY JEEPS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM OF SEPARATION DUE TO INFERIOR / THIN STEAL AS THE BRACKET. FIXING IS BY WELDING - DOES NOT HOLD AND ENTIRE BRACKET HOLDING THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAD A COLLISION WITH A DEER AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK, AND MY STEERING WAS DYSFUNCTIONAL! *TR

MY JEEP BRAKE LIGHTS ARE DEFECTIVE. WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES, THE TAIL LIGHTS TURN OFF AND DO NOT GLOW. THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. CAN CHRYSLER PLEASE RECALL THE DEFECT??? THANKS. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT TRACK HAS BROKEN ON TWO SIDES. THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART ON THE SEAT TRACK WHERE THE METAL IS TOO THIN AND HAS CRACKED. I HAVE READ COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ONLINE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. I CANNOT EVEN FIND ONE TO REPLACE IN A SALVAGE YARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT ANY ONE THAT IS AVAILABLE. *TR

THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME WELD ON THE LEFT SIDE HAD PREVIOUSLY BROKEN ON ME. NOW THE FRAME WELD HAS BROKEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT WHERE THE BASE OF THE SEAT MEETS THE SEAT BACK CAUSING THE SEAT TO TILT BACK AND TO THE RIGHT. THE WHOLE SEAT NOW WOBBLES. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE SEAT FRAME DESIGN BECAUSE THE BREAKS ARE AT WELD POINTS. THE METAL IS THIN AT THESE POINTS. *TR

THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE. AN ONCOMING VEHICLE CROSSED THE CENTER LINE. THE DRIVER OF THE JEEP MOVED OVER TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION AND THE JEEP WENT OVER AND EMBANKMENT AND HIT FRONT END AND FLIPPED FIVE TIMES. THE DRIVER WAS EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. HER DAUGHTER WAS IN A CAR SEAT. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MULTIPLE INJURIES AND FRACTURES OF THE SPINE, PELVIS, RIBS AND ALSO MISCARRIED. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. WE HAVE PICTURES. *TR

I OWN A 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE WHICH HAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHERE THE POWER WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS AND EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL DO NOT WORK AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT TURN OFF, ALL CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE.I FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP CHEROKEES DUE TO THE WIRING INSIDE THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN 2009 AFTER AT ABOUT 46,000 MILES. WHEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP GIVE ME AN EXACT PRICE OVER THE PHONE AS THEY KNEW OF THIS ISSUE. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY RUDE AND PRICE WAS VERY HIGH.I HAD THE REPAIRS DONE AT A HIGHLY REGARDED REPAIR SHOP WHICH SPECIALIZES IN ELECTRICAL WORK WHICH COST $201 BUT NOW (AT 80,000 MILES) THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN DUE TO THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE WIRING HARNESS IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, BUT THE HARNESS IS TOO SMALL TO SUSTAIN ALL OF THE WIRES. WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED, THE WIRES COME OUT OF THE HARNESS AND BREAK, WHICH CAUSES EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR PANEL NOT TO WORK. THIS INCLUDES THE POWER WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND POWER MIRRORS ALL OF WHICH CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR JEEP THAT THEY SHOULD FIX FREE OF CHARGE ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I FEEL THAT IT'S VERY RECKLESS OF JEEP TO NOT RECALL THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND ALLOW THEIR CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE WITH WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS THAT TO NOT WORK OR INTERIOR LIGHTS THAT DO NOT TURN OFF. IN ORDER TO TURN OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT SEE ANY OF THE INSTRUMENTS. THIS CAR IS USED BY MY HANDICAPPED WIFE AND DUE TO THIS ISSUE I WILL NOT LET HER DRIVE AT NIGHT AS I FEEL THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE IN IT'S CURRENT STATE. *TR ...VIDEO AVAILABLE

I KNOW OF AT LEAST 4 PEOPLE WHO HAVE JEEP VEHICLES AND WE ARE CONSTANTLY REPLACING THE TAIL LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT AND OR HAVING ISSUES WITH ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. WITHIN 2YEARS I HAVE PERSONALLY REPLACED MY ENTIRE DRIVER TAIL LIGHT, BULBS 4 TIMES. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR ANY RECALLS AND I HAVE ONLY FOUND 1, BUT NOTHING IN REGARDS TO ELECTRICAL AND OR BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES. *TR

I TOOK IT IN ON11/12/2012 BUT THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T ON RECALL AND I TOLD THEM IN IT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER AND THEY SAID I NEED TO WAIT TO GET MY RECALL NOTICE. *TR

GOOD EVENING, I OWN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4. I HAD BOUGHT MY VEHICLE A FEW YEARS AGO WITH ABOUT 18,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER TAKING IT FOR A TEST DRIVE THERE WAS A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. AFTER TODAY, THE CLICKING NOISE SEEMS TO GET LOUDER AT DRIVING 25 MPH. I TRIED TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM BY RESEARCHING SIMILAR INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET. THERE WAS A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT A BAD U-JOINT WAS THE CULPRIT DUE TO A LACK OF PERMANENT GREASE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED BY THE MANUFACTURER. GIVEN THAT THIS CAN LEAD TO THE VEHICLE LOSING CONTROL WHEN THE U-JOINT SNAPS CAN BE LETHAL. PLEASE INQUIRE WHETHER THIS IS A FEASIBLE ISSUE THAT CAN BE RECALLED FOR MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *TR

NOW NOTHING WORKS. CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED FOR OTHER MAJOR ISSUES, PCM, TPS, SENOIDS, BARRONS ETC. THIS IS A DEFECT & CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FACE UP TO CORRECTING THEIR FAULTY WIRING, AND NOT LEAVE IT UP TO THE CONSUMER TO FIX ON THERE OWN, WERE ARE NOT MECHANICS, FROM READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB, IT MAKES ME WONDER WHY JEEP IS STILL IN BUSINESS, GREAT BODIES BUT NO PEEP INSIDE, ALL THE WIRING IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HARNESS IS RIDICULOUS & IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN FOR THE CONSUMER. THESE WIRES SHOULD NEVER BEEN BUNCHED TOGETHER WHICH IS ALLOWING FRICTION WHEN OPENING & CLOSING THE DOOR CAUSING BURN OUTS & SHORTS WITH THE WIRING "SHAME ON YOU CHRYSLER." *TR

ACCELERATING FROM STOP SIGN TO 40 MPH, DRIVER'S POWER SEAT FRAME BROKE AT A WELD POINT ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. MECHANIC SAYS IT CANNOT BE RE-WELDED.

I THINK THIS IS JUST A WAY FOR JEEP TO MAKE MONEY ON PARTS AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE SINCE THE PARTS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PLASTIC AND COST OVER 300.00 PER WINDOW AND WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR WINDOWS FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED TO SEE IF I CAN PURSUE A CLAIM TO BE RE-IMBURSED FROM JEEP. *TR

I WAS BACKING MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I HEARD A SNAP AND THEN THE FRONT SEAT STARTED WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH. I PULLED BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THAT'S WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I NOTICED THE METAL THAT CONNECTS THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAD COMPLETELY SNAPPED. IT WAS A BLESSING THAT I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED OR WAS FAR FROM HOME, I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND UNCOMMANDED THROTTLE PEDAL MOVEMENT. CAR WAS IN DRIVE AT A STANDSTILL ON A SLIGHT GRADE, DRY PAVEMENT. THROTTLE TOOK OFF UNCOMMANDED. DRIVERS FOOT CENTERED ON BRAKE PEDAL. DRIVER NOTICED THROTTLE PEDAL WAS MOVING UNCOMMANDED. PEDAL APPEARED DEPRESSED ABOUT AN INCH THEN RETURNED TO IDLE POSITION THEN BACK DOWN ABOUT AN INCH. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THROTTLE PEDAL RETURNED TO IDLE POSITION. BRAKE HELD BACK ANY VEHICLE MOVEMENT DURING EPISODE. CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET HAS BROKEN CAUSING SEAT TO SEVERELY ROCK. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED BY A WELDER OR REPLACED. CURRENTLY HOLDING TOGETHER WITH A HOSE CLAMP. *TR

2004 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME SINCE 2004 REPLACING THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT. IT BROKE IN 2008 AND AGAIN IN 2011. THE SEAT STARTS TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH LIKE ITS LOOSE AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TIGHTEN THE SEAT.. SO YOU HAVE TO SIMPLY LIVE WITH IT, VERY UNSAFE IN MY EYES. IF I WAS IN A ACCIDENT I THINK THE SEAT WOULD SNAP OFF AND I WOULD BE GREATLY INJURED! *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BROKEN FOR UNKNOWN REASONS AND , WITHOUT HOMEMADE, PATCHWORK BRACING, FLOPS BACK LIKE A RECLINER. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS REPAIRED BOTH THROUGH OUR LOCAL DEALER AND THROUGH CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY CLAIM THAT THEY CANNOT SECURE THE PART; WE WERE FIRST TOLD BY THE DEALER WE HAD TO PREPAY FOR THE PART, DID SO, AND THEN THEY REPORTED BACK WEEKS LATER THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PART. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR FINANCIAL SITUATION DOES NOT ALLOW US TO SIMPLY PARK THE VEHICLE AND MAKE DUE. THIS IS TRULY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT YOU CAN OFFER. *TR

THE SEAT BRACKETS FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE SNAPPED. THIS CAUSES THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH WHEN ACCELERATING OR BREAKING. WILL COST BETWEEN 500-800 TO HAVE THE BRACKETS REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OPENED AND FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL WITHOUT ENGAGEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE SHE WAS ADVISED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE EXACT SAME FAILURE RECURRED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WITHIN MONTHS. THE PASSENGER WINDOW WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,590.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V117000 (SEATS: FRONT ASSEMBLY: SEAT HEATER/COOLER). THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXHIBIT SEVERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITHIN THE TURN SIGNALS, HAZARD LIGHTS AND THE HEATER FAN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE ELECTRICAL WINDOW MOTOR, TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHT ELECTRICAL SENSORS WERE REPLACED. THE HEATER FAN WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,058.

PASSENGER SEAT HEATER ELEMENT GOT WAY TO HOT AND THE SEAT STATED SMOKING. I SEEN THE RECALL SO I CALLED GAVE THEM THE VIN AND WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

WIRING HARNESS LOCATED BETWEEN FRONT DOOR AND FRAME INSIDE RUBBER TUBING IS MADE OF INFERIOR MATERIALS AND CRACKS WITH TIME EXPOSING WIRING CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. SPECIFICALLY, THE BLACK NEUTRAL WIRE AND ORANGE WIRES HAVE BEEN CRACKING ON DOZENS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (AS SEEN HERE: HTTP://AUTOFORUM.CLASSIFIEDS1000.COM/JEEP-GRAND_CHEROKEE/04_JEEP_GRAND_CHEROKEE_ELECTRICAL_PROBLEM). WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE WIRING BECOMES EXPOSED AND/OR BREAKS. IN MY CASE WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROLS CEASED TO OPERATE CAUSING THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS TO BE UNRESPONSIVE. IN ADDITION THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO TURN ON WHEN THE HEADLAMPS ARE ON CAUSING DIFFICULTY DRIVING IN NIGHT TIME CONDITIONS. FINALLY, THIS FAULT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT TO FAIL WHEN HEADLAMPS ARE ON. THIS ISSUE CAN BE TEMPORARILY CORRECTED BY SPLICING THE EXISTING WIRING HARNESS. HOWEVER, A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS AS OTHER WIRES COULD DETERIORATE. *TR

NO POWER TO WINDOWS, LOCKS AND MIRRORS ON DOORS. THERE IS A WIRE ON THE INSIDE OF THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT SPLITS IN HALF FOR NO REASON PREVENTING ANYTHING ON THE DOORS TO WORK. I CANNOT OPEN ANY WINDOWS, UN/LOCK ANY DOORS, OR ADJUST MY MIRRORS. THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BUT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WE HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS HAD AN ONGOING FAILURE IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. OVER 10 TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP REPAIR FACILITIES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS PARTS REPLACED (BLENDING DOORS, VALVES ETC) AND THE FAILURE IS STILL THERE. THE A/C SYSTEM DOES NOT PRODUCE AIR AT THE TEMP THAT IS SELECTED, AND MOST OF THE TIME WILL BLOW HOT ON ONE SIDE AND COLD ON THE OTHER OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP THE MANAGER SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, AND WHEN MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE MANAGER, THERE WAS BURNING HOT AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENT, THE MANAGER SAID THAT WAS NORMAL. NOTHING THEY HAVE DONE HAS FIXED THE PROBLEMS AND WE ARE READY TO SUE THEM TO RECOUP OUR MONEY. *TR

FAILURE OF HEATING SYSTEM COMPONENTS - BLEND DOORS. REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE SELECTED AND FAN OUTPUT, DESIGN FLAW IN BLEND DOORS OF HEATING SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN NO HEAT INCLUDING NO WAY TO DEFROST / DEFOG THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, IMPEDING DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE IN COLD WEATHER. FAULTY PLASTIC PARTS BREAK. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEP MODELS / YEARS BUT NO RECALL EVER ISSUED. COST IN EXCESS OF $1,500 TO REPAIR ESTIMATED. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT HAS BROKE AT 3 SEPARATE PARTS REQUIRED WELDING TO REPAIR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY SEAT COMPLETELY BROKE, THROWING ME TOWARDS THE BACK SEAT. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND THAT NO ONE WAS COMING DOWN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE. WHY WOULD A SEAT FAIL LIKE THAT??? THE CAR IS PRETTY MUCH NOT DRIVABLE NOW BECAUSE THE SEAT IS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF THE BASE. THIS IS CRAZY!!!

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A RECALL FOR FRONT SEAT ELECTRIC HEATING ELEMENTS. CONSUMER EXPRESSED DISCONTENT WITH ONE DEALERSHIP AND WAS VERY CONTENT WITH THE WORK DONE BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. *KB THE FIRST DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAD THE PARTS, BUT WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED, SHE WAS INFORMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *JB

THERE ARE TWO ISSUES, ONE BEING THE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE DYING ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO A FORWARD OR REVERSE POSITION FROM EITHER REVERSE OR DRIVE POSITION. SECOND IS THE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE SURGING FORWARD JUST PRIOR TO STOPPING. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP JUST PRIOR TO STOPPING AND START A HARD BUT LOAD RUMBLING DUE TO THE BRAKES BEING HELD AND THE VEHICLE WANTING TO DRIVE FORWARD. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY REPAIR SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, AND IT IS VERY WEARING OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS ISSUE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

2004 GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER STATES PULSE MODULE PROBLEM. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT CEASED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD PLUG CONNECTOR. THEY REPAIRED THE CONNECTOR BY CLEANING AND RE-INSTALLING THE PINS AT A COST OF $170.00. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE UNIT ONCE AGAIN CEASED TO FUNCTION. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD TO WIGGLE THE PLUG IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK AND IT ONLY WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED A REPAIR KIT WAS AVAILABLE WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THEY WOULD SHIP THE PARTS TO HIS HOMETOWN. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 MONTHS FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE ONLY AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS. UPON INSPECTING THE MALFUNCTIONING PARTS, THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT THEY WERE BADLY BURNED AND THE WIRES WERE MELTED. *JB

THE WINDOWS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE GARAGE WE NOTICED SPARKS NEAR THE DOOR HINGE. TWO FACTORY WIRES WERE BROKEN AND MAKING CONTACT, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE ARCING. A JEEP MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS DEFECT, AND THAT HE HAS SEEN AT LEAST 2 A MONTH WITH THIS DEFECT. IF ANY FUMES FROM THE FUEL WERE PRESENT YOU WOULD HAVE A FIRE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE SURGED AND IT WOULD INCREASE 500 RPMS.

ON DECEMBER 12, 2010 AT OR AROUND THE HOUR OF 9:30 P.M. CENTRAL TIME I WAS INVOLVED IN A ONE VEHICLE ROLL OVER ACCIDENT DUE TO POOR ROAD CONDITIONS IN MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I WAS THE SOLE INDIVIDUAL IN THE VEHICLE, AND AFTER THE ACCIDENT I FOUND MYSELF IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS HOWEVER BUCKLED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AT THE START OF THE ACCIDENT. I SUSTAINED A SERIOUS CONCUSSION AND BRUISING TO MY LEFT SHOULDER AND HIP FROM THE SEAT BELT, AS WELL AS OTHER VARIOUS INJURIES. THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT IS MY CONCERN. THE SEAT BELT FAILED DURING THE ACCIDENT IN SOME WAY. *TR

LIGHTS WENT HAYWIRE IN THE CAR AS WELL AS THE LOCKS ON THE WINDOWS AND DOORS I.E., ALL OF THE LOCKS DO NOT WORK ON WITH THE REMOTE, THE SIDE MIRRORS DON'T MOVE, AND THE WINDOWS DO NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN. AFTER THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM TO WHERE THEY CANNOT BE SEEN. FROM AN INTERNET SEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT COST $275 TO REPAIR. I TOOK MY CAR IN TODAY FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD $112 TO LOOK AT THE CAR THAT COULD BE USED TOWARDS THE COST OF THE REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET SEARCH THE PROBLEM WILL BE FROM A DAMAGED WIRE IN THE DOOR THAT WILL NEED TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE SEATS, FRONT ASSEMBLY SEAT HEATER/COOLER (09V117000). AFTER HAVING THE REMEDY REPAIR DONE, THE DRIVERS FRONT HEATED SEAT WAS INOPERABLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT WAS INOPERABLE; THEREFORE, THE HEATED SEAT ELEMENT WOULD NOT WORK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT WAS OPERATING CORRECTLY BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

SEAT MOUNT BRACKET FAILS UNDER NORMAL USE. FRONT SEAT DRIVERS SIDE MOUNT BRACKET BROKE AT 65K MILES UNDER LIGHT USE. LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A "NORMAL" THING CAUSING A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION OF DRIVING IN A "ROCKING CHAIR". JEEP KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE YET THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART FOR UPGRADING AN OBVIOUS INFERIOR STRUCTURAL COMPONENT THAT IS INTEGRAL TO SAFE DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WITH 107,000 MILES. TODAY, 12/9/2010, THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BRACKET CAME LOOSE. I BELIEVE AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THAT IT IS A MOUNTING BRACKET. SOME OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM. THE SEAT NOW ROCKS WHEN I BRAKE AND ACCELERATE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I GET INTO A COLLISION THE SEAT WILL NOT BE LOCKED IN AND THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT FUNCTION. *TR

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR AND I START TO BRAKE AT IN THE SPEED RANGE OF 20MPH TO 65MPH, MY BRAKE PEDAL STARTS TO VIBRATE AND MY STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY, I HAVE TO START PUMPING THE BRAKES FOR THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME NEARLY MODERATELY CONTROLLABLE. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. EVEN WITH EARLIER MODELS. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS YET, THERE IS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.

I OWN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000 MILES ON IT. THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT BRACKET BROKE ON 10/20/2010 CAUSING THE SEAT TO ROCK WHILE DRIVING, ACCELERATING OR BRAKING. THE LEFT SIDE BRACKET IS NOW ALSO CRACKED BUT NOT BROKEN ALL THE WAY ACROSS YET. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IT MAY BOTH LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND CAUSE ADDITIONAL INJURIES TO THE DRIVER. I AM NOW TRYING TO FIND USED PARTS FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND HAVE LEARNED FROM ONE LOCAL USED AUTO PARTS DEALER (631-654-5172) THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY BECAUSE THIS WAS A :"HOT" ITEM. MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS ALSO FOUND IT TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GRAND CHEROKEES. THE SEATS ARE BREAKING WITH NORMAL USE. I HAVE DECIDED TO COMPLAIN TO THE NHTSA AND MY US SENATOR IN THE INTEREST OF PROTECTING OTHERS FROM A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM INVOLVING A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES.

I OWN A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2004--THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS WITH THE STEERING. IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER TO THE RIGHT THE WHEEL LOCKS AND I CANNOT TURN. I TOOK THE JEEP TO HAYES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A POWER STEERING PUMP AND PRESSURE LINE AND A POWER STEERING GEAR BOX. THE TOTAL QUOTE IS $1601.00--I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT SO I TOOK IT TO MIDAS AND THEY ADVISED ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART AND JEEP SHOULD REPLACE THE PART FREE OF CHARGE. I PULLED THE RECALL NOTICE AND IT DOES STATE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND IT WOULD BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND ALSO CHRYSLER THAT MY VN # WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST....I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING AS STATED IN THE RECALL BUT SINCE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT IC AN DO AT THIS POINT. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I TOOK IT BACK THE SAME MONTH AND TOLD THEM SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION. I ALSO TOOK IT BACK A 2ND TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. *TR

MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS EITHER A HOLE IN ONE OF THE PISTONS OR A BROKEN CONNECTING ROD. THIS JUST HAPPENED ONE DAY AS I LEFT WORK. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND RAN VERY ROUGH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH DEFROSTERS ON, THE HEAT SUDDENLY TURNS TO COLD AND DOES NOT DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT BLEND DOORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND THE DASHBOARD HAD TO BE REMOVED. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD SINCE YOU CAN'T DE-ICE THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD MAKE THE NEEDED REPAIRS AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER SINCE THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS THE HEATED SEAT ISSUE, RECALL J14 AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP 3 WEEKS AGO WITHOUT A RESPONSE.

SO THEY GOT MY INFORMATION AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WITH AN ETA AND IT HAS BEEN OVER A WEEK NOW WITHOUT ANY CONTACT FROM THEM. WHEN I CALLED TODAY I GAVE THEM MY INFORMATION AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME ONLY 300 PARTS WERE BEING SHIPPED TO THE WHOLE STATE ON MONDAY AND THAT I MAY OR MAY NOT GET IT DONE EVEN AFTER THAT. TO ME, HAVING HEATED SEATS THAT MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE FIRES IS A PRETTY BIG SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT TAKE OVER A MONTH (WHEN ALL SAID AND DONE) TO FIX ESPECIALLY LIVING IN A COLD STATE LIKE COLORADO WHERE THESE SEATS ARE NEEDED. BY SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX IT, THEN NOT HAVING THE PARTS TO DO IT, THEN NEVER CALLING ME BACK TO SET UP A NEW TIME THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND WELL OUTSIDE OF A REASONABLE TIME FOR SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS THIS. *TR

CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES ON HIGHWAY, RURAL ROADS AND MAIN ROADS. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HAVE SEVERAL WRECKS. WHEN THE CAR CUTS OFF, I LOSE ALL POWER.

I HAVE HAD TO USE SOMEONE CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL DO IT AND I WILL WRECK. AFTER A WHILE IT WILL START AGAIN, BUT DOES THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT STARTED OFF ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO WHEN I WOULD JUST CRANK THE CAR AND THE FIRST TIME IT WOULD NOT CRANK BUT THE 2ND TIME IT WOULD. IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS I HAVE BEEN STRANDED OR BE DRIVING AND HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO SEE IF IT WILL CRANK. IT DOES AND THEN I PUT IN DRIVE. IT CUTS OFF AGAIN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE AND SOMETIMES IF YOU ARE GOING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED AND YOUR CAR CUTS OFF, YOU LOSE POWER AND COULD EASY WRECK. IF I WAS TO PULL OUT AND IT CUT OFF, I COULD BE HIT AND KILLED OR A FAMILY MEMBER IN THE CAR WITH ME. I WAS STRANDED ACROSS THE STREET ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND I WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP. A GENTLEMAN CAME OVER AND BROUGHT SOME EQUIPMENT WHEN I TOLD HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR WENT OUT. THERE IS A RECALL ON THAT PART BUT NOT ON MINE. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER ON DECEMBER 29, 2009 AND TOLD THEM OF THE INCIDENT AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK.

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT TRACK SUFFERED MATERIAL FATIGUE FRACTURE. SEAT FRAME IS A STAMPED METAL FRAME. THE CRACK HAPPENED ON THE FRONT LEFT LEG THAT ATTACHES THE SEAT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE SEAT TRACK IS STAMPED BY A CHRYSLER DIRECTED SUPPLIER AND SHIPPED TO JCI FOR ASSEMBLY. SUGGEST CHRYSLER TO INVESTIGATE SEAT MOVEMENT (CAUSING FATIGUE IN THE BEND), MATERIAL THICKNESS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDING A GUSSET (OR BRACE) ACROSS THE BOTTOM OF THIS BEND IN THE TRACK. THIS HAPPENED ON MY PERSONAL VEHICLE. I NOTICED SOME MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS COMING FROM THE RECLINE FUNCTION. I WAS BACKING DOWN A HILL WHEN IT SNAPPED CAUSING ME (THE DRIVER) TO SUDDENLY TILT BACKWARD. I WAS STARTLED AND THE TRUCK BUMPED INTO THE MAILBOX AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY CAUSING A DAMAGED BUMPER. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND MY DRIVERS SEAT STARTED LEANING ABOUT A YEAR AGO THEN THIS YEAR IS STARTED SQUEAKING WHEN I SAT IN IT, BUT NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING OF IT SINCE I HAVE 120,000 MILES. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN AS I AM DRIVING AT 65 MPH THE SEAT MAKES A LOUD POP NOISE AND I ALMOST WOUND UP IN THE BACK SEAT. I STOPPED THE CAR AND LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT TO FIND THE FRAME CRACKED. I GOT HOME TOOK THE SEAT APART AND FOUND IT HAD CRACKED ON ALL THE WELD JOINTS AND WHERE THE BOLTS WHERE THAT HELP IT TO THE METAL FRAME. I SEARCHED ONLINE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND 100'S OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I HAD THE SEAT WELDED BY A FRIEND SINCE YOU CANNOT BUY THE PARTS TO REPAIR. AFTER 3 WEEKS NOW MY STEEL FRAME ON THE SEAT HAS CRACKED. THESE SEATS ARE DEATH TRAMPS AND CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THEM. VERY DANGEROUS, DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BE RECTIFIED? *TR

DURING WINTER MONTHS, HEAT SHUTS OFF AND TURNS COLD. THIS HAPPENED DURING A SNOWSTORM AND I COULD NOT DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE CONSUMER STATED THIS STEMMED FROM INFERIOR PARTS THAT WERE USED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 4 TIMES TO REPAIR THE HEATED SEAT ELEMENT. THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND ONCE THEY INSPECTED THE SEAT, THEY STATED THE GEAR WAS STRIPPED IN THE MOTOR AND THEY DID NOT DAMAGE IT.

1) FIRST, THE CAR CRANKS (IGNITION) SLOWLY AND THEN STOPPED CRANKING. 2) AFTER IGNITION IS TURNED OFF OR CAR STALLED, CAR DOESN'T START ANY MORE. NEED TO WAIT FOR ABOUT 15 TO 30 MIN. BEFORE CAR STARTS AGAIN. FIRST INTERMITTENT, NOW ALMOST EVERY TIME. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT WE BLOCKED RAILWAY CROSSINGS, DRIVEWAYS, INTERSECTIONS AND SO ON. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN ! 3) - ON 8/14/09, THE BATTERY WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE BAD. REPLACED, DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION SERVICE WAS RECOMMENDED AND PERFORMED BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. ($385) - LATER IN OCTOBER, THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP AGAIN. FOR 2 WEEKS WITHOUT SUCCESS. DEALER MENTIONED THAT HE WAS ONLY ABLE TO RECONSTRUCT THE FAILURE ONCE. DAILY TESTING DIDN'T SHOW THE PROBLEM ANY MORE. CAR WAS PICKED UP ON 10/26/09.

WHEN THE CONSUMER WENT TO HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED, HE LEARNED THAT THE WHEEL RIM ITSELF WAS CORRODED SO BADLY THAT THE TIRE ESTABLISHMENT REFUSED TO PUT THE RIM BACK ON THE VEHICLE, CITING THE FACT THAT MOUNTING SURFACE AND SPOKES OF THE WHEEL WERE BADLY CORRODED. THE CONSUMER WAS FURTHER INFORMED THAT ALL OF THE RIMS WERE SIMILARLY CORRODED AND WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT, AND IF SUCH CONDITION WERE NOT ADDRESSED SOON IT COULD AND ULTIMATELY WOULD LIKELY CAUSE THE LUGS TO SNAP AND THE WHEELS TO FALL OFF. THE CONSUMER ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES WHICH ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS CAUSED BY A PIECE OF THE WHEEL CHROME COVER WHICH HAD BECOME DELAMINATED FROM THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL AND WAS RUBBING ON TIE ROD WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKES TO MALFUNCTION. *JB UPDATED 03/04/10.*JB

PURCHASED IN 2008 WITH 52,000 MILES ON IT. NOISE EMANATING FROM UNDER DASH, SEEMED LIKE A VACUUM UNIT LOOSING VACUUM AND THEN THE CREAKING OR CLOSING OF A DOOR CONSTANTLY AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL IT BEGAN PUTTING HOT AIR OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH COLD AIR OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE. THEN THE FAN STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. INSPECTED THE WIRING TO THE MOTOR AND FOUND IT TO BE OVERHEATED AND MELTED AT THE PLUG. PURCHASED A WIRING REPAIR KIT FROM CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A "COMMON PROBLEM" WITH JEEPS! NOW I HAVE NO HEAT WHATSOEVER, BUT THE BLOWER (FAN) DOES WORK. 2004 JEEP GC LIMITED AIR CONDITIONING PROVIDES NO HEAT WITH HEAT SELECTED. THIS PROVIDES NO DEFROSTING FOR WINDSHIELD. THE FAN RELAY PRECIPITATED THIS PROBLEM. FAN RESISTOR WIRING PLUG APPEARED OVERHEATED AND MELTED AND BLEW THE SYSTEM FUSE 40 AMP RATED. THE FAN RESISTOR WAS REPLACED AT $100.00 THROUGH LOCAL PARTS SUPPLIER, CHRYSLER WANTED $300.00 FOR THE SAME PART! THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE SYSTEMIC WITH CHRYSLER JEEP PRODUCTS...AND I BELIEVE THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM, WHY ELSE WOULD THEY OFFER A REPAIR KIT FOR IT THE WIRING AND PLUG)? I HAVE READ OF HUNDREDS OF FOLK'S WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED NO HEAT ISSUES WITH A HEFTY REPAIR PRICE "OFFERED" BY CHRYSLER, WHEN IN FACT THEIR SYSTEM HAS ISSUES THAT THEY KNOW CAUSES FAILURE IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND HAVE NOT OFFERED A FIX FOR IT OTHER THAN OFFERING TO FIX IT FOR AN EXCESS OF $1000 PER VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE CORRECTION OF A FAULTY SYSTEM AT THE LEAST, AND NOT FORCE CUSTOMERS TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THEIR FAULTY SYSTEM. CUSTOMER CONFIDENCE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A CONCERN FOR THEM WITHOUT FEDERAL MANDATE. *TR

NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 82,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE IT EXHIBITED A NO-START CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. HE THEN ADDED THAT HIS VIN NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL # 04V112000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: STARTER ASSEMBLY), SO THE COMPONENT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 71,000.

THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES HORRIBLY AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE PULSATES FORWARD AND BACK WHENEVER YOU TRY TO STOP. WE HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS/PADS FIVE TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE JEEP NEW IN 2003. IT STARTED AT 15,054 (AUG "04), THEN 24,038 (CLASS ACTION SUIT), 34,700 (TURNED), 36,000, AND NOW AGAIN AT 46,000(SEPT "09). WELL OVER $1000 INTO REPAIRS AND WE STILL DON'T FEEL THE VEHICLE IS ANY SAFER OR MAKE THE GC ANY MORE PLEASANT TO DRIVE. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH FAITH IN NHSTA DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT THOUGHT WE WOULD ADD TO THE ISSUE. AREN'T RELIABLE BRAKES CONSIDERED SOMETHING OF A SAFETY ISSUE? THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND CHRYSLER CHOOSES TO DO NOTHING. MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST GONE BANKRUPT SINCE THEY CAN'T BUILD A RELIABLE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS TO US A THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPAIR THE FAULTY BRAKES, ESPECIALLY AFTER A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS ISSUED IN 2006. *TR

POWER LOSS & SURGING AT SPEED AND WHEN ACCELERATING. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION-FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT 53,022 MILES, AND REPAIRED AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALERS. DEALER SERVICE TECH'S. DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION GOVERNOR PRESSURE AND TRANSDUCER READINGS WERE ERRATIC--TRANS. GOV. PRESSURE AND TRANSDUCER WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. PRIOR TO THIS, NON-DEALER SHOP REPLACED FUEL FILTER AND PUMP, DUE TO READINGS. CAR HAS RUN FINE SINCE, BUT PROBLEM HAS RE-APPEARED. DUE TO DEALER CLOSURES, WE HAD TO GO TO A NEW DEALER SVC. DEPT., WHICH WAS NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 71,323 MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT REQUIRES INCREASED STEERING EFFORT WHEN TURNING THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER IN REFERENCE TO RECALL# 03V079000 (STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)). UPON CONTACT A REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED HIM THAT BECAUSE HIS VIN NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE VIN RANGE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS. AS OF CURRENT DATE THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHENEVER THE CONTACT MAKES A SLOW LEFT HAND TURN THE VEHICLE MAKES A GROWNING SOUND AND A RUBBING SENSATION CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES BEFOREHAND, CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE IS 52000. BML

THE HEADRESTS IN MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND DO NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM WHIPLASH. AS I SIT IN THE SEAT, THE HEADREST IS AT LEAST 8-12 INCHES FROM MY HEAD. IF I WERE HIT FROM BEHIND, MY NECK WOULD BREAK BEFORE MY HEAD WOULD COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE HEAD REST. THIS IS CONTRARY TO THE 2005 AND NEWER JEEPS IN WHICH THE HEADREST IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE HEAD (ABOUT AND INCH OR TWO). THE HEADRESTS SHOULD BE MODIFIED TO PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM WHIPLASH. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM NINE MONTHS AGO DURING A LONG DRIVE WITH THE A/C RUNNING, THAT THE CONDENSATION UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER AREA WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A VERY SMALL AND SLOW DRIP OF WATER. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A COUPLE AUTO SHOPS AND BOTH MECHANICS SUSPECTED THAT THE DRAIN PLUG WAS DEFECTIVE, YET THE CONDENSATION DID DRAIN TOWARDS THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE WATER LEAK. THE CARPET WOULD BECOME SOAKED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER AREA AFTER LONG DRIVES WITH THE A/C RUNNING. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME IT WILL COST ROUGHLY $1700 TO GET THIS REPAIRED AND THIS IS TOO COSTLY FOR ME. A MECHANIC FRIEND HAS ADVISED THAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS THE CAR ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY OTHER ISSUES. THIS OCCASIONAL DRIP HAS GROWN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND LAST WEEK, DURING A 3 HOUR ROAD TRIP, I ENDED UP WITH A POOL OF WATER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER AREA - ENOUGH WATER TO HAVE TO SCOOP IT OUT SEVERAL CUPS OF WATER! THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I STOPPED AT YET ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS AGAIN ADVISED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE HVAC VENTS SUDDENLY BEGAN TO BLOW HOT AIR IN AC MODE & SWITCH BACK & FORTH. LATER AFTER READING THE HAYNES MANUAL I DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE HEATER SYSTEM & GOT A CODE 54 SHOWING A BLEND DOOR PROBLEM. RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET JEEP FORUMS DISCOVERED THAT MANY GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAVE A BLEND DOOR FAILURES DUE TO THE DESIGN (PLASTIC PINS ETC) ON THE TEMP DOORS IN THE SYSTEM. MY PROBLEM W/ THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS FAILS IN THE WINTER & YOUR DEFROSTER WON'T BLOW HOT AIR ONLY COLD. SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM TO ME. FROM THE INTERNET FORUMS IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF THE LIMITED SERIES 1999-2004 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AIR/ DEFROSTER WON'T BLOW OUT ANY AIR AT ALL OR WILL BLOW OUT HOT AIR ON ONE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND COLD AIR OUT THE OTHER SIDE EVEN THOUGH THE SETTINGS ARE THE SAME. THIS WILL HAPPEN ON AND OFF UNTIL IT BREAKS TOTALLY. I HAVE HAD MINE FIXED 3 TIMES 12/29/06, 03/28/07, 06/08/09. YOU CANNOT DEFOG/ DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD PROPERLY AND KEEP IT CLEAR WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. EACH TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE FAULTY PART HOUSING A 240213290, ACTUATOR 24029001, HOUSING A 2428025 AND AGAIN HOUSING A 24028025. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND YOU CAN FIND A LOT OF TALK ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE CHEAP PLASTIC PARTS THAT ARE USED . YOU CAN FIND AFTER MARKET ALUMINUM PART BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THE DEALER USES. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A JEEP THAT ONLY HAS 36,000 MILE ON IT..IT'S LIKE ITS USED ALOT. AT $800.00 A POP ITS STARTING TO ADD UP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, BUT THE HARNESS IS TOO SMALL TO SUSTAIN ALL THE WIRES. WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED, THE WIRES COME OUT OF THE HARNESS AND BREAK, WHICH CAUSES THE LOCKS AND INTERIOR LIGHTING TO FAIL. THE INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINS ILLUMINATED. IF THE CONTACT TURNS OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, SHE IS UNABLE TO SEE THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $400. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT CHARGE HER THE TOTAL COST FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE WIRES AND HARNESS AT THE COST OF $100. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WHILE DRIVING WHEEL FALL OFF BECAUSE THE LUGS BROKE OFF THE WHEEL BEARING. *TR

MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT OF MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BROKEN TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. THE METAL LITERALLY SNAPPING. I HAVE BEEN READING SITES ON THE INTERNET AND THIS APPEARS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON OCCURRENCE. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF IT JUST BREAKS DUE TO EVERY DAY DRIVING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN A CRASH?

HEATING AND A/C MALFUNCTION, BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR BROKE, MESSES WITH THE FLOW OF THE HEAT AND AIR. I'VE HEARD IT HAPPENS TO ALL THESE JEEPS. *TR

MY HUSBAND FORGOT HIS KEYS SO I SHIFTED TO PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LEFT IT RUNNING BECAUSE I WAS ONLY GOING TO BE OUT A FEW SECONDS. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND IT SHIFTED TO INTO GEAR AND TOOK OFF KNOCKING ME DOWN AND RUNNING OVER ME BEFORE HITTING A TRUCK THAT STOPPED IT. I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR THREE DAYS WITH MY INJURIES. *TR

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT PIVOT POST ON 3 OCCASIONS HAVE BROKEN. 2 OF THE OCCURRENCES HAPPENED WHILE BRAKING AND 1 WHILE LEANING BACK TO REMOVED ITEMS FROM MY REAR PACKETS. THE 1ST TWO WERE REPAIRED VIA SPOT WELDS AFTER THE THIRD I HAD TO REPLACE LOWER SECTION OF THE SEAT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, IT WOULD HESITATE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 52,000.

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO -- FRONT SEAT BRACKET/RAIL BROKEN/SNAPPED OFF--THIS CREATED A SAFETY SITUATION WITH SEAT NOT SECURE--RAISES QUESTIONS AS TO WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IN ACCIDENT AND SEAT BROKE LOOSE. *TR

AFTER LOSING POWER STEERING VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A GUARD RAIL. AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY IN THE FRONTAL/SIDE COLLISION PRIOR TO A HEAD ON COLLISION INTO A MEDIAN/DITCH AND A ROLL OVER IN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED SO NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR. CONSEQUENCES WERE A TOTALED VEHICLE, LOSS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY AND SEVERE BODILY DAMAGE TO DRIVER RESULTING IN BRAIN CONTUSIONS AND HEMATOMAS, A 7 IN GASH ON FOREHEAD AND NECK SURGERY TO CORRECT TWO DISC THAT WERE CRUSHING SPINAL CORD INTO A "Z" SHAPE> *TR

METAL SEAT BRACKET THAT HOLDS DRIVER'S SEAT TO FLOOR ON MY 2002 AND MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES BROKE. SEATS ARE NOW DETACHED FROM THE FLOOR AND ROCK BACK AND FORTH. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BRACKET BROKEN ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GRAND CHEROKEES. THERE IS A STEEL TUBE THAT GOES FROM SIDE TO SIDE THAT IS ENTIRELY TOO THIN AND IT SHEARS OFF AT THE BRACKET. IT WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT, IT JUST BREAKS FROM NORMAL USE, WHICH FOR A SEAT BRACKET, SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I FIXED IT ONCE LAST SUMMER AND NOW ANOTHER PART IS BROKEN. THE SEAT IS NOW BASICALLY A ROCKING CHAIR AND IF I WERE TO GET IN A CRASH, THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE BRACKET WOULD FAIL FURTHER AND POSSIBLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONTACT HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES WITH THE WINDOWS. WHEN PROCEEDING TO ROLL DOWN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, IT DROPS DOWN INTO THE DOOR JAM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE WINDOW WAS REPAIRED AT THE COST OF $450. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ALSO DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR JAM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED AGAIN. THE WINDOW WAS REPAIRED AT THE COST OF $106.50. ONE YEAR LATER, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR JAM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE CONTACT OPENED THE SUNROOF, SHE WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE IT BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE MOTOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 239 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,230.

DRIVERS SEAT BRAKES AT BOTTOM AND THEN SEAT FRAME BRAKES. IT IS NOW LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING IN A ROCKING CHAIR. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, SOME SEATS HAVE BROKEN AWAY. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR

I HAVE A DIGITAL DUAL CLIMATE ZONE IN MY VEHICLE. RECENTLY THE HEAT STARTED TO WORK ONLY ON ONE SIDE (DRIVERS) AND NOT THE PASSENGERS. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE MECHANICAL RECIRCULATION AND VENTILATION DOORS FOR THE HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM AS I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH MANY WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IN ADDITION, I CALLED A DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEM CODES THAT I GOT FROM RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST VIA THE HEATING/COOLING CONTROL PANEL AND THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD COST A MINIMUM OF $800 TO FIX. THE PRICE TO REPAIR WAS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT OTHERS WERE SAYING DURING MY RESEARCH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IF I HAVE NOT HEAT I CAN NOT DEFROST MY WINDOWS IN THE WINTER. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN 2006 (2ND OWNER) SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR ($400) AND NOW THE PASSENGER FRONT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED...I HAVE A RUBBER SCRAPER STUCK IN IT TO KEEP THE GLASS UP UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE. *TR

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF 2004 V8 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, WHEN SHIFTING THE GEAR TO PARK FROM NEUTRAL, AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD COME TO A STOP, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND SHOT THOUGH A FENCE WITH THE FOOT WAS STILL PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE BUT THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AND STOPPED AFTER HITTING A TREE STUMP MISSING THE HOUSE. *TR

THE EVENT OCCURRED AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. MY REAR VIEW MIRROR WAS OUT OF VIEW AND I WENT TO ADJUST IT. I REMEMBERED THE WINDOW MOTOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAD A SHORT SO I WENT TO ADJUST IT MANUALLY. AS I PUT SLIGHT PRESSURE ON THE MIRROR THE WHOLE THING FOLDED BACK. I FIGURED IT WAS OKAY SEEING AS THEY WERE DESIGNED TO FOLD BACK, BUT WHEN I PUT THEM BACK IN PLACE, THEY DID NOT STAY. NOW, AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, THE MIRRORS FOLD THEMSELVES IN WITHOUT WARNING AND IT IS MAKING ME VERY WORRIED THAT I CANNOT SEE OUT OF MY MIRROR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED. WHEN SHE TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS, ALL OF THE ILLUMINATED EQUIPMENT FAILED, INCLUDING THE POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS. THE FAILURE PREVENTS THE CONTACT FROM VIEWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO VIEW THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE OFFERED BECAUSE THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2004 ACCELERATED WHEN I BRAKED IN THE PARKING LOT. THE JEEP ACCELERATED AND LURCHED INTO A FENCE AND INTO THE YARD ON THE OTHER SIDE, WHEN MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL AND STOPPED WHEN IT HIT A STUMP IN THE YARD. *TR

IN COLD WEATHER,WHILE USING THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER,THE HOT AIR NEEDED TO KEEP FROST OFF WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY CHANGES TO COLD AIR ON ITS OWN. THIS IS VERY AGGRAVATING, AND POSES A GREAT DANGER IN NOT KEEPING THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR. THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY. THE DEALERSHIP CAN MAKE A REPAIR, BUT THE COST IS PROHIBITIVE. *TR

3RD FAILURE OF CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM INSIDE VEHICLE CONTROLLING A/C, HEAT, VENTS, ETC. HAVE PAID A TOTAL OF $3119 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED WITH NEW OEM CHRYSLER REPLACEMENT PARTS BY CERTIFIED MECHANICS. THE SAME FAILURE CONTINUES TO OCCUR WHERE THE CLIMATE CONTROL "BLEND DOORS" BREAK IN THEIR PLASTIC HOUSING CAUSING THE DOORS TO MOVE INDEPENDENT OF THE COMPUTER CONTROL SIGNALS. IN THE WINTER, COLD AIR WILL BLOW REGARDLESS OF SETTING, AND IN THE SUMMER HOT AIR BLOWS - ALSO REGARDLESS OF SETTING. THIS LATEST FAILURE OCCURRED OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. IT WAS ALREADY FIXED ONCE WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD BEFORE 2 SUBSEQUENT FAILURES. DEALER REPS INFORMED ME THAT 80+% OF VEHICLES WITH DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL OPTION HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

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.

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 2004- HEAT NOT WORKING PROPERLY DUE TO BLEND DOOR MISFUNCTIONING. SPENT $1200 AT JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO FIX AND LESS THAN ONE WINTER LATER IT IS BROKEN AGAIN. EVEN REPLACED ALL PARTS T-WORKING AND NON WORKING PARTS. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH JEEP AND THIS SHOULD BE MADE A RECALL. THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ARE IN OUR SAME BOAT AND THERE ARE FORUM SET UP JUST ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS TOO MUCH MONEY TO SPEND EVERY WINTER ON THE SAME MALFUNCTION! DROVE LESS THAN 10,000 MILES IN 12 MONTHS ON MY VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE RECURRED. *TR

I LIFTED THE HOOD TO CHECK THE WASHER FLUID LEVEL. AS I TURNED TO PICK UP THE REFILL BOTTLE TO FILL THE CAR'S WASHER BOTTLE THE HOOD FELL ON ITS OWN. HAD MY HANDS OR HEAD STILL BEEN UNDER THE HOOD I WOULD HAVE SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT INJURIES. THE HOOD STRUTS NOW FAIL EVERY TIME AND I HAVE TO USE A STICK TO HOLD THE HOOD UP. I WENT TO ACTION MOTORS (JEEP DEALERSHIP IN DANBURY, CT) ON 1/2/09 AND DISCUSSED WITH SERVICE MANAGERS. THEY SAID FAILURE OF THE HOOD STRUTS IS EXPECTED AND IS COMMON - ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER. IN FACT, THEY TOLD ME THEIR SERVICE POLICY FOR ALL MECHANICS IS TO INSTALL A VICE GRIP ON ALL GRAND CHEROKEES HOOD STRUTS BEFORE ANY WORK BEGINS -- EVEN IF THE OWNER HAS NOT REPORTED THIS ISSUE. FAILURES OCCURRED TOO OFTEN TO ALLOW THEIR PEOPLE TO WORK UNDER THE HOOD WITHOUT THE VICE GRIP IN PLACE. WHILE THEY MAY HAVE ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE, MOST CAR OWNERS DO NOT. I ASKED IF JEEP HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD "NO." MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. *TR

ABOUT 3,000 MILES AGO THE BRAKES BEGAN TO PULSE WHEN APPLIED DURING HIGHWAY TRIPS. THIS GREW WORSE AS TIME WENT ON. NOW THEY PULSE EVEN IN THE COLD WEATHER IN DECEMBER IN CT DURING SHORT TRIPS (2-3 MILES). WHEN THEY PULSE, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BADLY (AS DOES THE WHOLE VEHICLE) ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND ON LONGER TRIPS. I WILL NO LONGER ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE IT ON HIGHWAYS. TODAY I WENT TO ACTION MOTORS (JEEP DEALERSHIP IN DANBURY, CT) AND DISCUSSED THE ISSUE WITH TWO SERVICE MANAGERS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS "NORMAL" AND THAT WHEN BRAKES GET "HOT' THEY OVERHEAT THE ROTORS AND THE ROTORS WARP. ACTION MOTORS WANTED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AT MY COST. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO JEEP RECALL ON THE ISSUE. I MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS THE IDENTICAL ISSUE THAT JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES HAD IN 1999 THROUGH 2003 AND WHY DID I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN (DOES JEEP NOT REALIZE THAT BRAKES GET HOT WHEN THEY ARE USED). THEY TOLD ME THE ONLY REASON THAT JEEP OFFERED FREE REPAIR TO THOSE MODEL YEARS WAS THAT IT WAS A RESULT OF A "LAW SUIT" AGAINST JEEP. THEY ALSO TRIED TO CONVINCE ME THAT THIS WAS NORMAL ON ALL MAKES OF CARS AND TO EXPECT IT. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS IN MY MANY YEARS OF DRIVING AND NONE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE UNDER ANY CONDITIONS OR ANY MILEAGE. SEEMS SOMEONE OR MANY MUST DIE BEFORE JEEP ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY. I DO NOT WISH TO HAVE JEEP REPAIR MY BRAKES AT MY COST. I NO LONGER TRUST THEIR INTENTIONS OR THEIR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW THAT MIGHT AFFECT ANY "RECALL" DIRECTED BY NHTSA THAT MAY OCCUR IN THE FUTURE. THE BRAKE REPAIR WILL HAVE TO BEEN DONE VERY SOON TO MAKE THE CAR SAFE TO OPERATE. SHAME ON JEEP. *TR

FAILURE OF CLIMATE CONTROL "BLEND DOOR MECHANISM. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES TO THIS VEHICLE. WHEN IT FAILS, YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE A/C OR HEAT ON EACH SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I REPAIRED ON BOTH OCCASIONS AT A COST OF $900 AND $700 RESPECTIVELY. THE VEHICLE IS NOW BROKEN AGAIN, WHICH WILL COST ANOTHER $900-1200 TO REPAIR FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THIS MODEL. OBVIOUSLY A CASE OF AN INFERIOR PRODUCT OR INPUT FOR THIS COMPONENT. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP /CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HEATER MALFUNCTIONED AND BURNED THROUGH THE SEAT. THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING ODOR AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A BURN HOLE APPROXIMATELY THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V197000 (SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER) WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEATER, AND WOULD NOT INCLUDE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HEATER. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 92,000.

THE BLEND DOORS ARE BREAKING ON MY 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. THEY ARE KNOWN TO FAIL AFTER APPROX. 50K TO 80K MILES, CAUSING THE DEFROSTER TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER WHEN THE DEFROSTER IS SO ESSENTIAL. *TR

HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING DIED IN MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND, IT ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT AND I DID SOME SEARCHING ONLINE AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 99-04 GRAND CHEROKEES. I LIVE IN A COLD WEATHER REGION AND CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD MAKING IT QUITE DANGEROUS. IT WILL COST $1,200 TO FIX IT AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THAT. CHRYSLER IS SAYING IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX. BUT THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE BLENDER ACTUATOR DOORS BEING TOO CHEAP WHEN BUILT. *TR

I HAVE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS HAD A BLEND DOOR FAILER DUE TO POOR DESIGN. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEATING SYSTEM. *TR

THE BLEND DOOR IS BROKEN AND BLOWS COLD AIR. WINDOW DOES NOT DEFROST AND CAN'T SEE WELL IN WINTER. *TR

ON ARE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND WITH AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL THE BLEND DOORS HAVE FAILED AND THIS CAUSES THE HVAC UNIT TO EITHER BLOW HOT OR COLD WHEN TURNED ON BUT YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF IT. WE HAVE HAD THE A/C KICK ON WHEN UNIT WAS SET TO HEAT/DEFROST IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER AND THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WINDSHIELD WILL START ICING UP OR FOGGING UP IF IT'S NOT REAL COLD OUT AND AS MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE DAILY I WANT HER IN A SAFE VEHICLE. WE HAVE ALSO HAD THE HEATER KICK ON WHEN USING THE A/C AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS TURN THE HVAC UNIT OFF AND ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD ALL GRAND CHEROKEE'S HAVE THIS PROBLEM JUST AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES OF THIS PART. TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE AT A DEALER WE WERE QUOTED $950 TO FIX IT BUT I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THIS AS IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT CAUSES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE DURING THE WINTER MONTHS IF AND WHEN THE HEATER/DEFROSTER QUITS WORKING. WHEN THE HVAC SYSTEM GETS STUCK THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO FIX IT SOMETIMES IT WILL STICK FOR A FEW HOURS OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT WORK FOR A DAY OR TWO. *TR

MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES TAIL LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I'VE REPLACED THE BULB TWICE. IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET. PLUS, I WAS TICKETED TWICE (AFTER INITIAL REPLACEMENT) AND WARNED A THIRD TIME. *TR

RESEARCH HAS SHOWN ALL 1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WITH ELECTRONIC DUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS WILL EVENTUALLY REQUIRE MAJOR REPAIR IN ORDER TO CURE HOT AIR/COLD AIR BLOWING FROM VENTS WHEN THEY'RE NOT SET TO DO SO. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE, WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN TO POP UP AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 50K MILES AFTER REPAIR, IS GENERALLY $800-$1500 FROM A DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHARGED $97 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AAMCO AND THEY CHANGED A HOSE AND CLEANED THE VENTS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD FAILED. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND ASSIGNED REFERENCE NUMBER 18091070. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE MILEAGE EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000. UPDATED 12/22/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEAT DIDN'T WORK, BUT THE THERMOSTAT WOULD GET WARM. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE BLENDER AND CIRCULATION BOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 12/23/08.*JB

DASHBOARD HAS A LOUD CREAKING SOUND COMING FROM ITS UNDERSIDE WHEN TURNING ON VENTILATION? THERE IS CREAKING FROM THE DASH SECONDS AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF. THERE ARE STRANGE NUMBERS POPPING-UP ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL DISPLAY. THE COLD IR BLOWS FROM ONE SIDE OF THE DASH EVEN WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON.

FRONT ROTORS ARE WARPED I HAVE HAD TO GET THEM REPLACED OR RESURFACED EVERY 8,000 MILES THIS IS A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I FIND THAT THE BRAKES START TO PULSATE EVERY TIME ITS TIME TO REPLACE OR RESURFACE ROTORS . I HAVE TO PAY OUT MONEY EACH TIME THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CAN SOME ONE TELL ME IF CHRYSLER HAS A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PLEASE HELP *TR

FRONT ROTORS ARE WARPED. HAD THEM REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT 14,591 MILES AND RESURFACED (TURNED) AT 22,214 MILES. BOTH TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. I CURRENTLY HAVE 29,779 MILES ON THE JEEP AND THE ROTORS ARE CAUSING THE BRAKES TO, ONCE AGAIN, PULSATE EVERY TIME I APPLY THEM. IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IF I HAVE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED OR RESURFACED EVERY 8000 MILES... THIS IS GOING ADD UP. IF I CONTINUE TO USE THEM IN DISREPAIR, I THINK THIS MAY BE DANGEROUS. IT FEELS DANGEROUS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIND A PERMANENT "FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED AND TURNED TWICE APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES APART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AGAIN, WHICH IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO PULSATE AND VIBRATE WHEN BRAKING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,779 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,591.

A FEW WEEKS AGO THE HEAT WENT OUT IN MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A WAY TO COMMON ISSUES WITH JEEPS. I WAS SHOWN HOW TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS THE BLEND DOOR AND OR THE RECIRC DOOR. FOR ME IT WAS BOTH. I ALSO SAW ONLINE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME THING. JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS BUT SIT BACK AND CHARGE CUSTOMERS TO GET THIS FIXED. LIVING IN THE NORTH AND USING MY CAR FOR WORK PUTS MYSELF AD MY FAMILY IN A BAD POSITION. FAULTY PART WITH THIS MANY COMPLAINTS SHOULD SPUR JEEP TO FIX THEIR CHEAP PART... *TR

BROKEN BLEND DOORS CAUSING NO HEAT FOR THE WINTER ON A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. *TR

HAD THE DEFROSTER ON. TRIED TO TURN THE BLOWER TO THE VENT POSITION WHILE FAN WAS OFF AND NOTHING CAME OUT. THE DEFROSTER STILL WORKS AND THE FAN SEEMS TO BE BLOWING, BUT FOR SOME REASON, NO AIR FROM FRONT(OUTWARD FACING) PART OF DASH BOARD. HAD SOME KNOWLEDGE OF FAILURE IN THE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL VERSION, BUT SPECIFICALLY FOUND JEEP WITH MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM. *TR

VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER HEAT WILL NOT COME OUT OF ONE SIDE OF HEATER NO MATTER WHAT THE TEMP IS SET TO , MAKES ALL KIND OF LOUD NOISES AND CRACKING. *TR

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, BUT THE BLEND AIR DOOR ON MY 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE IS BROKEN AND ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. THE AIR DOES DEFROST THE WINDOW OR HEAT THE CABIN. THIS COULD LEAD TO A DRIVING PROBLEM IF THE WINDOWS FOG UP WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. IMMEDIATELY UPON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE SUNROOF WOULD OPEN, BUT FAILED TO CLOSE. THE CONTACT NEVER LEFT THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO MORE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BOTH TIMES AND THE MOTOR WAS REPAIRED. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR. THE CONTACT RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WINDOW CABLE FAILED. THE MECHANIC REPAIRED THE WINDOW. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS SHUT, THE REAR WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE MECHANIC STATED AGAIN THAT THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPAIRED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY; THEREFORE, SHE WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,357 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 239.

IN APRIL OR MAY OF THIS YEAR, THE DRIVER-DOOR WINDOW OF OUR JEEP SLID INTO THE BODY OF THE DOOR ON IT'S OWN--THIS WAS WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED ON THE STREET. WE WERE LUCKY TO CATCH IT BEFORE SOMEONE STOLE ALL OF OUR ITEMS IN THE CAR. A REPAIRMAN TOLD US THAT THE CABLE/REGULATOR IS BROKEN AND THAT IT IS VERY COMMON WITH JEEPS. WE COULDN'T AFFORD THE $250-300 PART, SO WE SIMPLY SCREWED THE WINDOW IN PLACE, TEMPORARILY. THIS PAST WEEKEND WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH OUR PASSENGER WINDOW DID THE SAME THING. IT WAS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT SO ALL WE COULD DO IS DUCT-TAPE THE WINDOW IN PLACE. WE CALLED CHRYSLER/JEEP TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY RECALL, AND THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL. THEY SIMPLY TOLD US TO GET A $200 DIAGNOSIS FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEN THEY WOULD DECIDE IF CHRYSLER/JEEP WOULD ASSIST IN THE COST. WE VISITED MANY CONSUMER WEBSITES AND FOUND THOUSANDS (NO EXAGGERATION) OF COMPLAINTS OF THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. THOSE WHO ENDED UP GETTING A DIAGNOSIS WITH A DEALERSHIP NEVER ENDED UP BEING REFUNDED BY CHRYSLER/JEEP. IN THE END, THEY SIMPLY PAID CHRYSLER/JEEP MORE MONEY HAVING GONE THROUGH THEIR SUGGESTED PROCESS. THIS IS CLEARLY AND FAULTY PART AND CHRYSLER/JEEP'S REFUSAL TO RECALL OR REIMBURSE ITS CUSTOMERS IS ALARMING. THE PARTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY CHRYSLER/JEEP MORE MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY THEIR PROBLEM. WEATHER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FAILURE OF THE PART(S)--THEY SIMPLY BREAK WITHOUT WARNING. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS. BOTH OF OUR WINDOWS ARE CURRENTLY BEING HELD INTO PLACE BY SCREW OR TAPE AS WE CONSIDER OUR OPTIONS. WE DO NOT TRUST CHRYSLER/JEEP AND BELIEVE THAT EVEN IF WE GO TO A DEALERSHIP WE WILL END UP PAYING FOR THE REPAIR ALL ON OUR OWN. IT IS A CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE FOR A COMMON DEFAULT AND HAS GIVEN US A GREAT DEAL OF STRESS. CHRYSLER/JEEP REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN UNSYMPATHETIC, AMBIGUOUS, AND UNTRUSTWORTHY. PLEASE HELP! *TR

MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH THE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM, BLOWS COLD AIR OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR VENTS EVEN WHEN SET TO HEAT. THIS IS A CURRENT AND ONGOING PROBLEM, IT OCCURS WHENEVER THE HEAT IS NEEDED. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, WAITING FOR A RECALL. *TR

1. RAISED HOOD TO CHANGE OIL. 2. GAS STRUTS THAT HOLD HOOD OPEN FAILED TO HOLD HOOD OPEN. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS IN THE PATH OF THE HOOD. *TR

DEFROSTER ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE POWER STEERING. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE STEERING BOX ON SOME JEEP CHEROKEES BUT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE MINE. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. IT IS IN THE STEERING GEAR BOX -IMPROPERLY FORMED SPACER CLIP. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON MY JEEP ALSO. *TR

ON 12/23/06 (MILEAGE 11,948) MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) HAD ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ON AFTER SEVERAL NORMAL DRIVING CYCLES. THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) WAS P0455 - LARGE LEAK FROM THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. A LEAK WAS FOUND AT THE FUEL PUMP SEAL AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BY THE DEALER. ON 8/19/08 (MILEAGE 21,351) THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN RETURNED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE MIL WAS ON. THIS TIME THE DTC WAS P0456 - SMALL LEAK FROM THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. A LEAK FROM A VAPOR HOSE WAS THE CAUSE THIS TIME. SINCE THIS EMISSION COMPONENT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THE REPAIR COST OF $293.75. I BELIEVE THE EMISSION SYSTEM COMPONENTS ON THESE VEHICLES ARE WEAK. THESE EVAPORATIVE LEAKS PRESENT A DANGER TO THE VEHICLE OPERATORS (ESCAPING GAS FUMES) AND THE ENVIRONMENT. IN ADDITION, THE DEALERSHIPS ARE PROFITING BY REPAIRING THESE WEAK COMPONENTS AT THE OWNERS' EXPENSE. A CO-WORKER HAS A 2002 GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE MIL COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THE CAUSE HAS YET TO BE DISCOVERED. UNFORTUNATELY MY CO-WORKER'S VEHICLE CANNOT PASS INSPECTION WITH THE LIGHT ON AND THE DEALER CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, THE RPM'S DROPPED BELOW 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE ALSO BEGAN SHAKING AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTS, BUT IF THE CONTACT DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE, IT WILL STALL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,200. UPDATED 10/14/08. *LJ THE DEALER STATED IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR WAS BAD, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE STALLING PROBLEMS. THE CONSUMER NO LONGER OWNS THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 10/15/08. *JB

NORMAL OPERATION OF HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM. NOW, AFTER 28,000 MILES, TEMPERATURE WILL SUDDENLY CHANGE IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE HEAT WILL SUDDENLY CEASE AND THE VISIBILITY WILL BE LOST OUT THE WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH "BLEND DOOR". WHEN THE WINDSHIELD FROSTS UP, WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF AND WAIT FOR SYSTEM TO RESET. VERY DANGEROUS, NOT SAFE, DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES $1,500 TO $2,000 TO REPAIR. *TR

PURCHASED A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2WD A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. WITHIN 3500 MILES A UNBEARABLE FRONT END SHAKE STARTED TO OCCUR. WITHIN THE NEXT 2K-3K MILES THE FRONT END SHAKE BECAME EXTREMELY INTENSE AND IS STILL ONGOING. WHEN SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH ARE REACHED, VERY INTENSE FRONT END PULSATIONS OCCUR WITHOUT FAILURE EACH AND EVERYTIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE ENCOUNTERED SUCH AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THANKS DAIMLER/CHRYSLER! I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER DODGE/JEEP/CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WOULD NOT LOCK OR "GRIP" AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD. THE FAILURE CAUSED DIFFICULTY WHEN BRAKING. SHE ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A "GLIDING" EFFECT WHEN DRIVING 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. FURTHERMORE, SHE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. AS A RESULT, SHE MADE WIDE TURNS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT SHE HAD TO PUT INTO TURNING THE WHEEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES. THE DEALER CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS AND STATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THE SECOND TIME THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE ABS FAILURE SHE WAS INFORMED AGAIN THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED FOR THE STEERING FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20.

ON A COLD RAINY NIGHT IN UP-STATE NY THERE WAS NO HEAT IN THE CAR AND THE WINDOWS FOGGED UP SO BAD THAT I HAD TO STOP DUE TO THE DANGER OF NOT SEEING THE ROAD. THE FAILURE IS CONSISTANT AND CAUSES FOGGED WINDOWS AND THE AUTO CAN'T BE USED DURING VERY COLD WEATHER. THE BLEND DOORS WERE BROKEN . *TR

VENTILATION SYSTEM PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ROLL DOWN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE AND THE WINDOW FELL OFF TRACK INTO THE DOOR.

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 71,000.

FAILURE OF CLIMATE CONTROL "BLEND DOOR MECHANISM. THIS IS THE 2ND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE I HAVE OWNED AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO BOTH VEHICLES. WHEN IT FAILS, YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE A/C OR HEAT ON EACH SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. REPAIRED ON BOTH VEHICLES AT A COST OF $1650 AND $1500 RESPECTIVELY. THE FIRST VEHICLE IS NOW BROKEN AGAIN, WHICH WILL COST ANOTHER $1500-1700 TO REPAIR FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

JEEP ACCIDENT AS RESULT OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION: I DROVE UP DRIVEWAY TO PUT 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND IN GARAGE (NORMAL DAILY ACTIVITY). ELECTRICITY WAS OUT FROM A STORM SO THE AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER DID NOT OPERATE. I PARKED IN FRONT OF THE BAY, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR MANUALLY. I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE, STARTED THE ENGINE, PUT IT IN DRIVE AND STARTED SLOWLY INTO THE GARAGE. I WANTED TO REPOSITION THE CAR, SO I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WAS ABOUT TO PUT IT IN REVERSE WHEN, SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE CAR SHOT FORWARD LIKE A TORPEDO. I HAD MY FOOT PLASTERED ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND PLOWED INTO A GARDEN TRACTOR AT THE BACK OF THE GARAGE. I TRIED TO PUT IT IN PARK TO STOP IT, BUT WITH THE ENGINE STILL REVVING, THE CAR SHOT BACKWARDS OUT OF THE GARAGE, ACROSS 37 FEET OF DRIVEWAY, CLIMBED OVER A LOW STONE WALL AND WENT ANOTHER 2 FEET BEFORE SLAMMING INTO THE FIELDSTONE BAY WINDOW OF OUR HOUSE, FINALLY STOPPING. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITHIN SECONDS. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR IN EITHER DIRECTION, AND IT ACCELERATED AT A FRIGHTENING SPEED. WHEN THE CAR SPED FORWARD, IT DESTROYED THE TRACTOR AND THREW IT INTO ANOTHER CAR PARKED IN THE GARAGE. IT ALSO CRACKED THE BACK BLOCK WALL OF THE GARAGE AND DID OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE. WHEN IT WENT BACKWARDS, IT HIT THE HOUSE SO HARD THAT IT BOWED THE FIELDSTONE FRONT OF THE HOUSE, SPLIT DRYWALL, DAMAGED STUDS, ETC. MY HUSBAND GOT IN THE VEHICLE TO MOVE IT, USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT. HE SAID THE BRAKES WERE VERY SPONGY AND CLOSE TO THE FLOOR. THE NEXT MORNING, PEDAL PRESSURE WAS BETTER AND BY TWO DAYS LATER, THE PEDAL PRESSURE HAD IMPROVED EVEN MORE. TOTAL DAMAGE IS STILL BEING COMPUTED, BUT THE JEEP HAS BEEN TOTALED, THE OTHER CAR IN THE GARAGE SUSTAINED $2,000 IN DAMAGES AND OTHER DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE, HOUSE AND PROPERTY IS WELL IN EXCESS OF $20,000. *TR

FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS "AIR BAG" LIGHT COMES "ON" AND REMAINS AND GOES 'OFF' INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO PERKINS EASTSIDE, CRESTWOOD, KY-502-241-3042. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE "EVENT" OF "AIR BAG ON" IS NOT BEING RECORDED BY THE COMPUTER AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. TODAY, I WENT TO THE DEALER WHILE THE LIGHT IS "ON" AND STILL COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG CONTROLLER MODULE IS FAULTY.

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. AFTER REPLACING BRAKES 4 TIMES, WE STILL HAVE PULSING WHEN WE BRAKE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES HORRIBLY. THERE ARE ONLY 36,000MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND WE HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES DUE TO CUPPING. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, THEY JUST KEEP REPLACING THE BRAKES ONLY TO HAVE THEM CONTINUE TO PULSE. I CAN'T BELIEVE ANY OF THE MECHANICS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE WOULD ENJOY DRIVING A VEHICLE LIKE THIS, STILL WE ARE STUCK WITH IT. I READ ON ONE SITE THAT IT COULD BE THE CALIPERS; MAYBE CHRYSLER SHOULD LOOK INTO IT. WE HOLD OUR BREATH THAT WE WILL STOP WHEN WE PUT ON THE BRAKES. WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER MADE ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAULTY BRAKES/CALIPERS WHEN IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT?

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. BLEND DOORS ARE BROKEN AND DEALER WANTS OVER 2200USD TO REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL. THE ORDINARY WORKING CLASS PERSON CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR. BECAUSE THE BLEND DOORS DO NOT OPEN, YOU CANNOT GET HEAT OR AC. CONSEQUENTLY, THERE IS NO DEFROST, MAKING DRIVING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

THE HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM IS DYSFUNCTIONAL AND HAS NOT WORKED CORRECTLY SINCE PURCHASE IN 2004, BUT IS WORSE NOW THAN PREVIOUSLY. UNABLE TO SET AT ONE TEMPERATURE AND HAVE UNIFORM HEAT/COOLING (DEPENDING ON SEASON). IT WILL BLOW REALLY HOT, THEN COOL, THEN NOT AT ALL ON ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER SIDE IS TOTALLY NOT INSYNC WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE (THERE ARE DUAL CONTROLS). TODAY, DRIVING IN 50F WEATHER, CONTROL SET TO 71F AND THE AIR CONDITIONER CAME ON DRIVER'S SIDE, NOTHING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE BLEND DOORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN JANUARY AND THE WATER PUMP WITH THERMOSTAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN MARCH, AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. AT TIMES IT BECOMES VERY HOT AND SMELLS HOT. AT OTHER TIMES IT IS FREEZING COLD--THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY IN BETWEEN.. AT THE TIME OF THE INITIAL SERVICE THE MILEAGE WAS 52000, THE SECOND TIME IT WAS 55000 AND NOW AM AT 59000+. HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER WITH LITTLE SATISFACTION. *TR

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING, BRAKES, AND THE HEAT VENT. WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, IT MAKES THIS AWFUL NOISE. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET THE BRAKES CHANGED AND THEY SAID THE PADS LOOK FINE. WHEN I HAD THE HEATER ON, IT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHENEVER THE CONTACT DEPRESSES THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END SHAKE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES. THE CONTACT HAS CHANGED THE BRAKES AND ROTORS FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY STATED THAT THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 160,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. UPDATED 5/19/08 *CN UPDATED 05/19/08. *JB

I HAD THE SEAT HEATER ON WHILE DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, AND I NOTICED THAT IT CONTINUED TO GET WARMER AND THEN HOT. IT STARTED IN MY HIP AND THEN WENT TO MY BACK AND CONTINUED TO GET HOTTER. THE HEATER WAS SHUT OFF. WHEN I GOT HOME I FOUND TWO HOLES IN MY LEATHER DRIVER SEAT AND ALSO A BURN HOLE AND SCORCHED AREA ON THE BOTTOM OF MY COAT. I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND HAD GONE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE RECALL WAS F17 - HEATED SEAT ELEMENT. *TR

THE VENTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE WERE BLOWING HOT AIR WHEN I HAD THE A/C ON. I RAN THE A/C FOR 20 MINUTES AND IT DID NOT COOL DOWN. *TR

PASSENGER SEAT HEATING ELEMENT CAUGHT FIRE, TOTALLY DESTROYING VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND RECENTLY I HAD A FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT, IN THAT IT LOCKED BACK IN THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION. FOLLOWING IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENTS, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND PUT THE BRAKES ON AND THE SEAT BELT TIGHTENED UP AGAINST MY CHEST, I THEN LEANED BACK TO RELIEVE THE TENSION AND THE BELT STAYED TIGHT AGAINST MY CHEST, SO I UNBUCKLED THE SEAT BELT AND LEFT IT RETRACT TO RELIEVE THE TENSION AND THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT EXTEND AFTER THAT, PUTTING ME IN A POSITION OF NOT HAVING A SEAT BELT FOR PROTECTION. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE SEAT BELT REPLACED AND THE TOTAL COST FOR REPAIRS WAS $153.91. I LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND WASN'T ABLE TO LOCATE ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET FOR MY PARTICULAR JEEP. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS FAILURE IS GROUNDS FOR A RECALL BUT I WANTED TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IN CASE THERE ARE MORE INCIDENTS OF THIS TYPE. *TR

CONTACTED JEEP TO TELL THEM OF OUR RIMS THAT ARE FAILING,DUE TO PRODUCT DETERIORATION AND THEY DECIDED TO SETTLE FOR HALF OF THE COST AT THE FIRST CALL. THESE RIMS ARE EXPANDING AT THE MAG PART OF THE WHEEL & SEPARATING FROM THE RIM. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I MIGHT NOT BE AROUND IF THEY FAIL & CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE RIMS THAT WENT BAD AT 22,000 MILES. KEITH BISHOP *TR

THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE THAT I AM AWARE OF. I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE HEAT THIS PAST WINTER, AND NOTHING WOULD BLOW OUT. NO HEAT, NO AIR, NO DEFROST. MY WINDOWS WILL NOT DEFROST. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS BROKEN BLEND DOORS. NEEDS BLEND DOOR HOUSING. THEY WERE ASKING AROUND $1,000.00 TO FIX IT. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND A FORUM WHERE MANY PEOPLE WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODEL. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. I DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY. MY VEHICLE WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO NO AVAIL. THIS SUMMER I , ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, WILL HAVE NO AIR TO KEEP THEM COOL. *TR

HEATER, DEFROSTER, A/C, VENTS ALL STOPPED WORKING TWICE! ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE BLEND DOORS WOULD BREAK AND STICK, THUS PRODUCING NO HEAT, A/C..NOTHING! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND EXTREMELY COSTLY 1200-1800 EACH TIME IT HAS TO BE FIXED. THE WHOLE DASHBOARD NEEDS TO BE REMOVED, THE COOLANT DRAINED AND REFILLED, HEATER REMOVED, A/C DRAINED AND REFILLED, IT IS AN ALL DAY FIX FOR A REPAIR SHOP WHO IS FLUENT WITH THIS.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS FALLING DOWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP DID SPLIT THE COST OF 500.00 WITH US BUT NOT THE LATEST. THIS SEEMS TO BE AND ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS PART THAT IS MADE OF PLASTIC. I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS BEFORE BUYING THIS JEEP. *TR

I HAVE HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK IN MY 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE REGULATOR ITSELF IS A FAULTY PRODUCT, MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC INSTEAD OF SOMETHING THAT IS BUILT TO LAST WITH METAL. DAIMLER-CHRYSLER TOOK A MAJOR SHORTCUT TO SAVE A FEW BUCKS AND NOW JEEP OWNERS ARE PAYING FOR IT. EACH WINDOW REGULATOR COSTS ABOUT 277 DOLLARS FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CHARGE $500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX 1 (ONE) REGULATOR. I'VE HAD 3 FAIL AND REPLACED, SO I'VE PAID $1500 ON A 4 YEAR OLD AMERICAN VEHICLE...ON THE WINDOWS!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED, AND JEEP OWNERS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR ALL EXPENSES, OR HAVE ALL 4 WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

2004 JEEP WITH 42K MILES- THE BRAKE PEDDLE HAS ONE INCH OF LATERAL MOVEMENT. THE DEALER PLANS TO REPLACE THE PEDDLE ASSY. FOR ABOUT $1,000. MY FOOT HAS SLIPPED OFF THE PEDAL WHEN MY SHOES WERE WET. I AM TOLD THAT IT CAN NOT BE TIGHTEN UP ONLY REPLACED. TO ME THIS SEEMS THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DESIGN ON THE BRAKE LINKAGE, AND NOT DUE TO NORMAL WERE AND TEAR. ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH STEERING SINCE PURCHASE IN AUG. 2003 HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF DEALER AND WAS TOLD NO PROBLEM FOUND. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE STEERING TO FAIL. ON THE LAST TIME IN I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE INSTALLATION MYSELF $750,000. *TR

THE BLENDER DOORS ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S VENTILATION SYSTEM FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. I CAN ONLY GET AIR FLOW FROM THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER VENT. THIS MAKES IF DIFFICULT TO WARM UP THE VEHICLE IN THE WINTER. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IS RIDICULOUSLY COMMON ON THIS JEEP MODEL. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, BUT MY DEALER HAS ALREADY WARNED ME THAT THE REPAIR COSTS WILL BE AT LEAST $500 OR MORE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THEY HAD ALREADY PERFORMED THE SAME REPAIR ON 2 OTHER JEEPS THIS WINTER. ONCE REPAIRED, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC CODES REFERRED TO OXYGEN SENSOR PROBLEMS THAT CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON AND OFF ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHICH EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE VEHICLE MISFIRING, WHICH LEAD TO MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND LOSS OF POWER, UNBURNED FUEL, AND STALLING. IT WAS LEARNED THAT THE MANUFACTURER PUT THE WRONG OXYGEN SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE, OXYGEN SENSORS WERE INSTALLED WITH INCORRECT PARTS WHICH COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER OR STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH OR FIRE DUE TO UNBURNED FUEL FROM ONE OR MORE CYLINDER MISFIRE. *TR

I OWN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED......I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE SEAT HEATER RECALL AND SINCE THEN I HAVE TERRIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF THE CAR....(700RPMS TO 1800) I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE DOWN AND BE VERY CONSCIOUS OF KEEPING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON WITH A P0505 CODE. AIR INTAKE SENSOR. WELL A NEW ONE WAS PUT IN AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT CONTROL THE IDLE EVEN WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER ATTACHED TO IT. IT WAS FOUND THAT TWO WIRES ON THE WIRING HARNESS WERE SHORTING OUT AND MELTING......THEN AFTER DRIVING APPROX 1200 MILES THE IDLE STARTS JUMPING AGAIN.....THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER......THEN WITHIN THE SAME DAY THE IDLE CALMS DOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. I HAVE PAID LOTS OF MONEY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED.....I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE FROM THE SEAT HEATER RECALL SINCE THE CAR DID NOT DO THIS PRIOR TO HAVING THE DEALERSHIP FIX THE SEAT HEATER WITH THE RECALL. I REALLY LIKE MY CAR WHEN THE IDLE IS RIGHT ........I AM NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND DO NOT ALWAYS FEEL SAFE WHEN THE ACCELERATION GOES WILD.....PLEASE HELP.....THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY BEFORE OTHER PEOPLE GET HURT OR KILLED. *TR

I AM WRITING BECAUSE THE FRONT DRIVESHAFT DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLE IN MY 2004 JEEP FAILED ON JANUARY 4, 2008 AFTER I PUT IT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME. I HAD IT SERVICED THE DAY BEFORE AT A GOODYEAR STORE. ON JANUARY 10 THE REPAIR COMPANY DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BECAUSE TWO NEW TIRES, PURCHASED FROM AND MOUNTED BY THE SAME GOODYEAR SERVICE COMPANY, HAD BEEN PLACED ON THE FRONT AND TWO OF THE EXISTING TIRES WITH TREAD HAD BEEN PLACED ON THE BACK PER GOODYEAR'S INSTRUCTIONS. THE TWO EXISTING TIRES WERE LOWER IN TREAD THAN THE NEW TIRES BY ABOUT AN 1/2 TO 1 INCH AND THEY SAID THIS CAUSED THE FAILURE. I CHECKED THIS WITH A LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND THAT THE TIRE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS. WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE TIRE COMPANY THAT MOUNTED THE TIRES ON DECEMBER 1 AND ALSO DID THE SERVICE, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED FOUR TIRES FROM THEM. THE TIRE PEOPLE HAD GIVEN A PRICE ON FOUR TIRES BUT SAID THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH TREAD ON THE TWO FRONT TIRES TO CONTINUE TO USE THEM FOR A FEW MONTHS. THEY DECIDED TO MOVE TWO FRONT TIRES TO BACK AND PUT THE TWO NEW TIRES ON THE FRONT. THE MECHANICS SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY USING THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WITH THESE TIRES. THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT HIS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL; IT SAYS "PROPER OPERATION OF FOUR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES DEPENDS ON TIRES OF EQUAL SIZE, TYPE AND CIRCUMFERENCE ON EACH WHEEL. ANY DIFFERENCE WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT SHIFTING AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSFER CASE." ALL TIRES MEET THIS. JEEP/CHRYSLER SAID THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND EVEN THOUGHT JEEP NEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM; THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT OR PROVIDING INFORMATION TO THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE GOODYEAR TIRE COMPANY IS STEVENSON TIRE SERVICES IN FREMONT. (510) 792-3363. I HAVE ALL OF THE RECEIPTS, REPAIR CHECK LIST AND OWNERS MANUAL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON INTERSTATE 45N, WE HEARD A LOUD "POP", ALMOST LIKE A TIRE EXPLODING. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW COLLAPSED INSIDE THE DOOR, THE NOISE AND CHANGE IN THE ENVIRONMENT CAUSED THE DRIVER, MY SPOUSE, TO SNAP HER HEAD IN THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND AND NOISE. SHE HAS PAIN IN HER NECK FROM TURNING SO QUICKLY. REALIZING WE WERE NOT BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, SHE LOOKED BACK TO THE ROAD AHEAD WHERE HER ATTENTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN, ONLY TO REALIZE SHE HAD SECONDS TO AVOID RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. WHEN WE PULLED OVER TO INSPECT WHAT WAS HAPPENING, OUR LITTLE DOG JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW ONTO INTERSTATE 45. THANK GOD WE WERE ABLE TO GET HER TO SAFETY BEFORE THE DAY GOT WORSE. WE CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALER WHOM WE PAID A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF "CASH" FOR THE 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE SPECIAL EDITION, THEY ADVISED US IT WOULD COST $75 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, MOST LIKELY THE WINDOWS REGULATOR, $250 DOLLARS FOR THE PART AND $150 FOR THE REGULATOR. I ASKED ABOUT THE VEHICLES WARRANTY AND WAS ADVISED IT WAS ONLY 3 YEARS. NOT SURE WHAT A WINDOW REGULATOR WAS, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET, TO LEARN THAT THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE DURING THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. IT APPEARS THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THESE WINDOW REGULATORS AND THE ISSUE IS BEING IGNORED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND WE ARE FORTUNATE IT DID NOT RESULT IN A MAJOR INCIDENT. THE DESIGN AND/OR MECHANISMS NEED TO CHANGE TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF THOSE NAVIGATING IN A CHRYSLER JEEP PRODUCT. BI SHARED MY CONCERNS WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE SUV. I WAS TREATED WITH RESPECT WHEN I WAS BUYING, BUT NOW MY CONCERNS FALL ON DEAF EARS. THIS WON?T HELP ME, BUT I HOPE IT PREVENTS SOMEONE FROM A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. I WILL SELL THE VEHICLE AT A REDUCED PRICE, MY SPOUSE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. SHE FEARS IT HAPPENING AGAIN SPONTANEOUSLY AND ON ALL FOUR WINDOWS. *TR

RESEARCH HAS SHOWN ALL 1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WITH ELECTRONIC DUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS WILL EVENTUALLY REQUIRE MAJOR REPAIR IN ORDER TO CURE HOT AIR/COLD AIR BLOWING FROM VENTS WHEN THEY'RE NOT SET TO DO SO. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE, WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN TO POP UP AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 50K MILES AFTER REPAIR, IS GENERALLY $800-$1500 FROM A DEALERSHIP. SHOULD YOU OPT TO DO THIS REPAIR YOURSELF, THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED, QUITE THE ARDUOUS PROCESS, AND PARTS ARE APPROXIMATELY >$300. 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 IR 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. YES TO ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED. HOW IN GOD'S NAME HAS THIS NOT TURNED INTO A MAJOR LEGAL DISPUTE?! THIS, BY FAR, IS MORE COSTLY THAN THE REPETITIVE BRAKE PROBLEMS A WJ OWNER WOULD GO THROUGH. WE'RE ALL GOING TO GET IT EVENTUALLY... EVENTUALLY WE'RE ALL GOING TO HAVE TO FORK OUT ANYWHERE FROM $300 TO $1500 TO FIX IT, SO THIS IS IN NO WAY COMPARABLE TO THE INFAMOUS BRAKE PROBLEM SINCE NOT EVERYONE WAS AFFECTED BY IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A DUAL CONTROL A/C, WHICH ALLOWS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE ON THEIR OWN SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BLEND DOOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DOOR PREVENTS HEAT FROM ENTERING AND CAUSES THE DEFROSTER TO WORK ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY BLEND DOOR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000. UPDATED 10/24/07

WJ BLEND DOOR BREAKAGE - I AM ON MY SECOND DOOR AND IT IS STILL CAUSING PROBLEMS AND BLOWING COLD AIR - THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND COSTS CLOSE TO 1000 TO FIX. *JB

DEFROSTER NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY FREQUENTLY REDUCED DUE TO FAILURE OF HEATER/COOLING SYSTEM, VEHICLE HAS NO HEAT FOR DEFROSTER (OR OCCUPANTS). I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM AND WAS IMMEDIATELY TOLD THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE JEEP LINE WITH THE BLEND DOOR MECHANISM AND WOULD COST $1,200 TO REPAIR. NOTE: THIS WAS BASED SOLELY ON A DESCRIPTION, NO MECHANIC WAS REQUIRED TO LOOK AT THE CAR; THIS ISSUE IS THAT WELL KNOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP. FURTHER, A DIAGNOSTIC WOULD REQUIRE REMOVAL OF THE DASH, COSTING $200-500 JUST TO CHECK/CONFIRM. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM AT 29,500 MILES (OF A 30,000 WARRANTY) BUT WAS TOLD I WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY DATE. NO CORRECTIVE ACTION OR ACCOMODATION WAS OFFERED. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FROM HOOVER CHRYSLER/JEEP IN SUMMERVILLE SC. WHILE STILL ON WARRANTY THE DRIVERS SIDE AUTOMATIC WINDOW FAILED TO THE DOWN POSITION DUE TO A DEFECTIVE REGULATOR. THIS OCCURRENCE HAPPENED IN OUR SECOND YEAR OF OWNERSHIP AND WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN TO THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW ON 4/4/07 AND AGAIN TO THE PASSENGERS FRONT WINDOW ON 9/15/07. ALL OF THESE FAILURES WERE ATTRIBUTED TO A COMMON REGULATOR NEITHER THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP NOR CHRYSLER CORP. HAS ISSUED ANY RECALL OR ADMITTED ANY CAPABILITY FOR THIS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART. *JB

I WAS RECENTLY IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT GOING ABOUT 30 MPH WHERE I RAN INTO THE REAR END OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I DRIVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. MY CONCERN IS NEITHER MY DRIVER NOR MY PASSENGER AIR BAG WENT OFF AND I HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE HARD ENOUGH THAT THE FRONT OF MY JEEP PUSHED MY PASSENGER FENDER BACK TO WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN MY PASSENGER DOOR. AT WHAT SPEED SHOULD MY AIRBAGS HAVE GONE OFF? *JB

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

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

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGER HEATING SYSTEM. MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED OUR 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN AUGUST OF 06 WITH 38,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

NOW 12,000 MILES LATER THE JEEP HAS NO HEAT AT ALL AND WE NEED TO PAY $1,000 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE INTENSION ON KEEPING IT FOR MORE THAN 100,000 MILES.

I JUST FOUND OUT IT IS A $1500/2 DAY REPAIR AND THAT IT HAPPENS "A LOT" - SO TO ME IF THIS IS A FAILURE THEY KNOW ABOUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS THEN I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIX THIS MYSELF.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A RESTAURANT LESS THAN A MILE AWAY FROM MY APARTMENT AND TOOK A LEFT TURN ONTO THE ROAD WHERE MY APARTMENT COMPLEX WAS LOCATED , AND THE CAR STARTED UP FINE AND WAS OKAY UNTIL ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY HOME. THE 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND AFTER MAKING THE LEFT TURN ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY TO ABOUT 60-70 MPH ON A NOT-SO-STRAIGHT ROAD. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, WHICH DID NOTHING, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED FOR NO RESPONSE, FINALLY BEFORE RUNNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC I PULLED THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND PUSHED THE IGNITION INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK. THE CAR SKIDDED TO A HALT RIGHT BEFORE I DEAD ENDED INTO ONCOMING 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS OFF, SO I RESTARTED IT AND IT, BEING IN PARK TOOK OFF FORWARD AT MAXIMUM RPMS. 8 OR 9 THOUSAND RPMS IN PARK, AND MOVING! TALK ABOUT SCARY. IT DID THIS APPROXIMATELY 7 TIMES WHILE STARTING WHERE IT SKIDDED TO A STOP AFTER THE FIRST RAMPAGE. I WAITED UNTIL A GREEN LIGHT, TURNED THE KEY, IT TOOK OFF IN PARK, AND ALLOWED ME WHILE DRIVING TO MOVE THE SHIFTER TO DRIVE, HAULED AROUND THE TURN AT FULL SPEED INTO THE ADJACENT PARKING LOT WHERE IT FINALLY STARTED BEING NORMAL. THANKFULLY THAT PARKING LOT IS ADJACENT TO MY APT COMPLEX SO I DROVE BACK WITHOUT REALLY ANY TROUBLE ASIDE FROM A FEW OVER REVVED. LEFT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE, AND HAVE TURNED IT ON TWICE WITH NO ISSUE. ITS BEING TOWED IN THE MORNING FOR THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED. I WILL NOW BE SELLING THIS CAR. *AK

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY JEEP LURCHED FORWARD WHILE PARKING. THE 1ST TIME I HAD TO PUT 2 FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP IT, & THE JEEP WAS STILL TRYING TO DRAG ITSELF FORWARD. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER. ON MARCH 28, 2007, I HAD A MAJOR INCIDENT THAT HAS LEFT ME TERRIFIED OF EVER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I PULLED OVER TO TRANSFER SOME THINGS TO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PUT MY JEEP IN PARK & LEFT IT RUNNING. I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP (MY DRIVER'S DOOR WAS OPEN) & AS I GOT TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED TO SLOWLY ROLL BACKWARDS. I RAN BACK & TRIED REACH THE BRAKE, BUT MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF & I HIT THE GAS PEDAL. THE JEEP LET OUT A ROAR - IT WAS REVVING UNCONTROLABLY (NORMAL IN A VEHICLE THAT IS IN PARK) - THEN I FELT A BANG & THE JEEP TOOK OFF, IN REVERSE, LIKE A SHOT. MY RIGHT FOOT GOT CAUGHT UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I SCRAMBLED FRANTICALLY TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE. MY SHOE CAME OFF, I WAS THROWN TO THE GROUND BY MY OPEN DRIVER'S DOOR & RUN OVER BY MY OWN JEEP. THE TRUCK CONTINUED IN REVERSE & SLAMMED INTOANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL FOR X-RAYS, A CT SCAN, AND A TETANUS SHOT. I HAVE A BROKEN TAILBONE, STAPLES CLOSING A GASH IN MY HEAD, ABRASIONS ON MY FEET AND HANDS, WRENCHED BACK & NECK & SEVERE DIZZYNESS. I KNOW I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I HEARD THE DOOR LOCKS RELEASE. WHEN I HIT THE GAS, THE ENGINE REVVED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE BANGING INTO REVERSE & TAKING OFF. IF THE CAR HAD ACTUALLY BEEN IN REVERSE, IT WOULD HAVE ROLLED AS SOON AS I GOT OUT. ALSO, IT WOULD'VE JUST TAKEN OFF IN REVERSE WHEN I HIT THE GAS, NOT REVVED LIKE A JET ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I'VE CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER. THEY SAID "THANKS FOR THE INFO, WE'LL BE IN TOUCH." I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH. I DON'T WANT TO EVER DRIVE THIS JEEP AGAIN. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO EVER DRIVE THIS JEEP AGAIN. I'D LIKE DAIMLER CHRISLER TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES BEFORE OTHERS ARE HURT, & I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. *JB

I ASKED IF THIS WAS COMMON SINCE HE SEEMED TO KNOW IMMEDIATELY THEY TOLD ME KNOW, BUT WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET FIXED I OVERHEARD A CONVERSATION OF ANOTHER JEEP OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, I PAID OVER $1200 TO GET THIS FIXED. *JB

PURCHASED NEW 2004 JEEP FROM DEALER. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING OCCASIONAL, INTERMITTENT ENGINE PROBLEMS AT START-UP-- THE ENGINE WOULD RUN VERY ROUGH, SHAKING THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE LIGHT IN THE DASH WOULD FLASH. IF DRIVEN, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL UNLESS THE ACCELERATOR WAS CONTINUALLY PRESSED. AFTER A FEW OF THESE EVENTS, WE DISCOVERED THAT, IF TURNED OFF, AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE ENGINE WOULD RUN NORMALLY. THE SERVICE LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON FOR A FEW MINUTES (SOMETIMES A HALF HOUR) AND THEN TURN OFF. THIS PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES EVERY MONTH, & SOMETIMES EVERY COUPLE MONTHS, USUALLY IN THE MORNING AT FIRST STARTUP, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I LEFT WORK IN THE EVENING TO DRIVE HOME. MY SALESMAN AND THE SERVICE MANAGER KNEW OF THE PROBLEM. JEEP DEALER LATER SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SIMPLY IN NEED OF A COMPLETE TUNE-UP. THEY DID THE TUNE UP 6 MONTHS AGO - MAY 2006. THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED AGAIN. I TOOK THE JEEP IN AGAIN. DEALER REPORTS THAT CAR IS "RUNNING ROUGH" BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. *JB

WHEN DRIVING MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN COLD WEATHER WITH RAIN OR ANY MOISTURE ON THE WINDSHIELD THE HVAC DUCTS WILL BLOW COLD AIR ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD TO FREEZE QUICKER WHILE DECREASING MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE TENDS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM 7 OUT OF 10 STARTS AND SOME TIMES RESETS IT SELF ONLY WHEN THE JEEP HAS BEEN SITTING FOR AT LEAST 3 TO 5 HOURS. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS IN WORKING ORDER BUT I TOLD THEM THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAUSED ME TO NEARLY HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE WINDSHIELD INSTANTLY STARTED TO FREEZE UP. LUCKILY I KEPT SPRAYING WASHER FLUID TO CLEAR THE WINDOW IN TIME BEFORE I GOT INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *JB

THE HVAC UNIT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IN THE SENSE THAT THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK IN THE WINTER AND THE A/C DOES NOT WORK IN THE SUMMER. THROUGH SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM AND NEEDS FIXING AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE. THE COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS AROUND $1000 AND IS ONE THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. *NM

VENT CONTROLS DO NOT WORK. WHEN DEFROSTER IS ON AND CHANGE TO VENTS OR FLOOR VENTS DEFROSTER STAYS ON AND WILL NOT CHANGE FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER SHIP IT WAS THE BLEND DOOR. *NM

THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING STIFFNESS, AND HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK. T THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES DUE TO WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. HE HAD THEM REPAIRED, HOWEVER, HE CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTORS.*AK

SINCE PURCHASED IN 3/06, 2004 GC V8 WHILE IDLING, REPEATEDLY DIES, OR NEARLY DIES BUT RECOVERS ONLY TO CAUSE A LURCHING FORWARD IF IN GEAR.

THE HEATER IN MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER PROVIDING HEAT IN ORDER TO KEEP WINDSHIELD FROST FREE CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE CONTACT PARKED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE, IT SPONTANEOUSLY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, AND ACCELERATED BACKWARDS, STRIKING THE SIDE OF THE RESIDENCE WITH THE FRONT LEFT DOOR OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED

THE BLEND DOORS ON THE HVAC SYSTEM DO NOT ALWAYS FUNCTION AND WILL BLOW COLD AIR IN THE WINTER AND HOT AIR IN THE SUMMER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE "AUTO" MODE IS ACTIVATED. 1999-2004 LONG HISTORY OF FAILURE AND AFRAID THAT IF I CONTINUE TO USE MINE WILL ALSO FAIL AND WILL EITHER HAVE TO REPAIR MYSELF WITH APPROX 8 HOURS OF LABOR AND OF COURSE THE PRICE OF THE REPAIR UNIT OR HAVE TO PAY EVEN HIGHER PRICE TO JEEP (CHRYSLER) TO HAVE A KNOWN DEFECT REPAIRED AT MY COST. *NM

I AM A PARAPLEGIC THAT HAS NO FEELING FROM MY CHEST DOWN. I RECEIVED A 3RD DEGREE BURN ON MY LEFT BUTTOCKS FROM THE HEATED LEATHER SEATS IN MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 'BLEND DOOR' BREAKS CAUSING NO HEAT TO GET TO THE WINDSHIELD FOR DEFROSTING. DEALERSHIPS STATE IT IS A $1200 - $1500 FIX AND IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR ON MOST TRUCKS OF THIS MODEL YEAR. IN WINTER MONTHS YOU CANNOT DEFROST YOUR WINDSHIELD OR GET HEAT TO THE INTERIOR. THIS FIX IS A MECHANICAL FLAW, NOT AN OWNER ISSUE YET CHRYSLER MAKES YOU PAY TO REPAIR THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL.

AFTER THE INITIAL TIGHTENING OF THE STEERING WHEEL, A LOUD, POPPING NOISE WAS HEARD WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE TILT WHEEL KNOB NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTERWARDS, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, AND THE DEALER DETERMINED THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED AGAIN, AND DUE TO THE LOOSENESS IT CAUSED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG TO FAIL WHICH WOULD ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. UPDATED 01/10/07. *JB

UPDATED 01/19/07. *JB

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE LEADS TO LOSS OF WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER. SYSTEM FAILURE IS CAUSED BY FAILURE OF THE BLEND DOORS TO RESPOND TO USER INPUT. SYSTEM FAILURE RESULTS IN LOSS OF AIRFLOW THROUGH WINDSHIELD DEFROST/DEFOG VENTS. OPERATION OF VEHICLE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER AND SYSTEM FAILURE WILL RESULT IN DECREASED VISIBILITY THROUGH FRONT WINDSHIELD WHICH COULD CONTRIBUTE TO COLLISION, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, ETC... NO MANUAL OVERRIDE OF AUTOMATIC SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE. REPAIR REQUIRES REMOVAL OF COMPLETE DASH TO REMOVE AND REPLACE BLEND DOOR ASSEMBLIES. *NM

WE ARE TRYING TOO GET CHRYSLER TOO LOOK AT OUR CASE AGAIN BUT WITH NO LUCK. *NM

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY JEEP FOR THE HEATING ELEMENTS IN THE SEATS THAT MAY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE A FIRE. MY DEALER TELLS ME THAT IT WILL TAKE OVER A MONTH FOR THEM TO GET THE PARTS IN FOR THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS TOO LONG AND I REALLY QUESTION JEEP'S (DAIMLER/CHRYSLER) PRIORITIES SINCE THEY CONTINUE TO SEND OUT NEW VEHICLES WITH THE SAFE ELEMENTS IN THEM WHILE ALLOWING THEIR PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE AROUND IN UNSAFE VEHICLES WHILE WAITING FOR NEW HEATING ELEMENTS TO SHIP. *JB

2004 GRAND CHEROKEE BEGAN PULSATING AND VIBRATING MAKE IT HARD TO KEEP STEERING WHEEL STEADY. *TS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED.

I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE HOWEVER, IT ACCELERATED FORWARD. THE ENTIRE TIME I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I ACCELERATED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION OVER THE CURB AND I BELIEVE BECAUSE I TURNED THE WHEEL AS I WAS HEADING TOWARDS A BLOCK WHEEL THE JEEP SPUN AND I HIT A TREE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS INVESTIGATED THE EVENT. THERE ARE SKID MARKS AND I HAVE PICTURES, WITNESS BEHIND ME STATED MY BRAKES WERE ON THE ENTIRE TIME AND THERE WAS EVIDENCE FROM THE INVESTIGATION THAT THE BRAKES HAD BEEN APPLIED. HOWEVER THE INVESTIGATOR COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE THROTTLE WAS NOT STICKING. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE,SPECIAL EDITION BRAND NEW. AFTER 6000 MILES I NEEDED NEW FRONT BRAKE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED AT 8000 MILES I NEEDED NEW REAR BRAKE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED. AT 12000 MILES I NEEDED NEW FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AGAIN BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED AT 14000 MILES I NEEDED NEW REAR BRAKE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED. ALL ROTORS WERE REPLACED WITH GENUINE JEEP PARTS BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP. NOW AT 18100 MILES I NEED NEW FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY ARE WARPED. I HAVE TO REPLACE THESE ROTORS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS RIDICULOUS TO REPLACE ROTORS EVERY 4000 MILES. IT IS A HAZARD, WHEN I COME TO A STOP, THE ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES! *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKES PULSATED AND THERE WAS AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED BUT THE PULSATION RETURNED.

CONSUMER REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR BRAKE REPAIRS DONE ON A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. *KB THE VEHICLE HAD CONSISTENT VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. ON JULY 15, 2006 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DID A BRAKE INSPECTION AND SUGGESTED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER AGREED TO THE REPAIRS BUT ANT NO POINT DID ANYONE A THE DEALER MENTION A BRAKE DEFECT THAT WAS BEING ADDRESSED THROUGH A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT.

ON VACATION, I EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. DID NOT HAVE PARTS AND NOTICED ON THE INTERNET THERE WAS A RECALL ON LIKE MODELS. BROUGHT AUTO HOME UN-REPAIRED WAITING FOR RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER SERVICE AND NOTED THIS IS A DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. *JB

I WAS LOADING A CAR HAULER SEMI TRUCK, BACKING A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVER MY CAB. JUST AS SOON AS I HAD THE UNIT WHERE IT NEEDED TO BE AND BEFORE I COULD GET IT IN PARK IT ACCELERATED IN REVERSE. THE CONSEQUENCE WAS IT CRASHED TO THE GROUND AND ROLLED ONTO IT'S RIGHT SIDE WITH ME STILL IN IT. I WASN'T SERIOUSLY HURT, BUT I DID LOOSE MY JOB OVER THE ACCIDENT. *NM

WHILE SETTING IN 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, WITH DRIVER WINDOW HALF DOWN, I STARTED TO PUT UP, WHEN POP. LIKE A ROCK HIT IT. THEN IT FELL INTO THE DOOR. GETTING ESTIMATE NOW IN THE RANGE OF $400.00. THAT DAY IT WAS 100 DEGREES. THIS NEXT WEEK WILL SEE TEMP THE SAME WITH THUNDERSTORMS POPPING UP. *NM

CAR WAS PULSATING AND SHAKING TERRIBLY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT 18,000 MILES. WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW ROTORS AND THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I TOLD THE REPAIR MANAGER THERE WAS NO WAY I PAID $33,000 FOR MY GRAND CHEROKEE AND WAS PAYING $600 TO GET NEW ROTORS EVERY YEAR. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. AT 29,000 MILES, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I NEED NEW ROTORS AGAIN. CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN AND...TOO BAD THEY ARE NOT COVERED. THIS IS BULL, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD SPEND $33,000 ON A CAR THAT NEEDS TO HAVE ROTORS REPLACED YEARLY. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP AND ITS TOO BAD, I HAD NO BRAKE ISSUES WITH MY LAST ONE. *JB

OUR 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SPECIAL EDITION BEGAN SHUDDERING WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE AS IT COULD EASILY SHUDDER OUT OF THE DRIVER'S CONTROL. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN WITH 13,365 MILES ON IT. NORMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE SERVICE CENTER STATED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED OUT OF ROUND .006 A PIECE. BOTH THESE AND THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPLACE THIS UNDER WARRANTY. WE WERE FORCED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS FAR BEYOND "NORMAL" WEAR AND TEAR. THE SERVICE CENTER REP TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT "YOUR WIFE RIDES THE BRAKE." THIS IS NOT A TRUE STATEMENT AND I FEEL THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS SHRUGGING OFF RESPONSIBILITY FOR A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND MANY MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. WE ARE CURRENTLY UP TO 18,000 MILES AND I AM WAITING FOR THE ROTORS TO WARP AGAIN. THERE IS NOW A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *NM

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. *KB THE JEEP CHEROKEE DOES NOT BELONG TO THE COMPLAINANT. THE COMPLAINANT BUSINESS (CAR WASH) WAS DAMAGED BY ONE OF HIS PATRON'S JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHEN IT ACCELERATED SUDDENLY. *NM ***NAR*** REFERRED TO OCC. *AK

BRAKES ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE A PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR FRONT END BRAKING PROBLEMS. PULSATING SENSATION OCCURS WHEN BRAKING @ SPEEDS 40 & OVER. VIBRATION OCCURS INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. ON MY FIRST VISIT, WAS TOLD "NOTHING IS WRONG"... ON MY SECOND VISIT, WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE WARPED..THERE WAS ONLY 17,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE! I DRIVE 8 MILES A DAY TO WORK ON CITY STREETS AND I AM NOT A HEAVY BRAKE USER. THE DEALER WANTED 200.00 PER ROTOR !! I HAVE NEVER HAD ROTORS GO BAD SO FAST. I WAS ADVISED TO WAIT IT OUT..THAT THE PARTS HAVE TO BE DEFECTIVE. ON A RECENT TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS, THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES WAS VERY EVIDENT. THE VEHICLE VIBRATED & PULSATED SO BAD I FEARED FOR MY LIFE. NOW THAT I AM BACK IN FLORIDA, THE PROBLEM IS BARELY NOTICEABLE UNLESS I AM ON A 4 LANE ROADWAY DOING 35-40 MPH. I PLANNED TO TAKE THE JEEP ELSEWHERE FOR BRAKE SERVICE WHEN I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RECEIVED A "FREE BRAKE INSPECTION".. I'VE ALREADY PAID FOR 2 BRAKE INSPECTIONS!! I WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED....AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHEN I FIRST COMPLAINED. *JB

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. *KB WHINE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE BUMPED THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF HIM. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED. *NM

PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS - THEY ARE WARPING EVERY 8,000 MILES THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ONLY 25,500 MILES ON IT. *NM

WARPED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS CAUSING SEVERE VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. REAR ROTORS REPLACED LAST YEAR AS WELL. *JB

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER INSIDE VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. *KB THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY BCM. HOWEVER, THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED ONE MONTH LATER. IN OCT 2005, THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED UNWANTED ACCELERATION WHILE HE WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD OCCASIONALLY COME ON AND THEN GO OF. THEN THE REAR HATCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND THE SECURITY SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER THEN FOUND A BROKEN GROUND WIRE IN THE ENGINE HARNESS. THE WINDOWS WERE INOPERATIVE.*JB

THE SIDE WALLS ON ALL THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST TIRES ON MY JEEP HAVE DRY ROT. WHILE DRIVING ON A INTERSTATE, LATE AT NIGHT, ONE OF THE TIRES BLOW THROUGH THE SIDE WALL. DUE TO A SLOW LEAK IN ONE OF THE OTHER TIRES IN THE AREA OF THE SIDE WALL, SULLIVAN TIRE, A LOCAL GOODYEAR TIRE DEALER, INSPECTED THE TIRES AND ADVISED ME THAT ALL THE TIRES HAD SOME DEGREE OF DRY ROT IN THE VICINITY OF THE SIDE WALL (A POSSIBLE QUALITY CONTROL PROBLEM) AND THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED. SULLIVAN TIRE IS CONTACTING GOODYEAR FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON THE REPLACEMENTS. *NM

WARPED REAR BRAKE ROTORS CAUSING SEVERE VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED, THE VEHICLE SURGES FORWARD WITHOUT EFFORT. IN ALL INCIDENCES THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURANCE UNDER THE SAME CONDITION.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON DRY ROADS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER WHILE DRESSING THE BRAKES. THE SHUDDERING STOPPED WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND THE BRAKE PADS.

I PURCHASED A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND IN JULY 04. BY MAR 05 THE CAR BEGAN VIOLENTLY SHAKING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND RESURFACED THEM AT NO CHARGE. BY JUNE 06 THE VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURRED AGAIN AND BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS WERE SO SEVERELY WARPED THAT THE MECHANIC STATED THE CAR WAS A HAZARD AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THE ROTORS MUST BE REPLACED BUT THE DEALER STATED THIS IT IS A WEARABLE ITEM AND WILL TAKE NO ACTION. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT CONSUMERS TO REPLACE THE COSTLY ROTORS ANNUALLY AND IT IS CAUSING AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALER TESTED AND FOUND THAT THE STEERING GEAR CAME APART INTERNALLY SENDING METAL FRAGMENTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. DEALER FOUND IT NECESSARY TO REPLACE POWER STEERING PUMP, GEAR BOX, RADIATOR FAN BECAUSE IT IS HYDRAULICALLY RAN THROUGH THE POWER STEERING PUMP, THE RETURN AND PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSES ECT. DEALER REPAIRED AT A COST OF $2846.53 PLUS TAX. LATER I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING GEAR BOX HOWEVER OUR JEEP WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN # . *NM

THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTION GOING TO THE RESISTOR PACK FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR CAN MELT AND DEFORM THE RESISTOR PACK AND WIRING CAUSING THE BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE A/C TO STOP WORKING. *NM

VEHICLE WAS BACKED INTO CAMPGROUND SPOT AND STOPPED. I GOT OUT OF THE BACK SEAT, LEAVING THE BACK DOOR OPEN, AND STOOD BEHIND THE VEHICLE. WIFE WAS SHIFTING FROM REVERSE INTO PARK WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED IN REVERSE AT FULL THROTTLE. WIFE WAS PUSHING BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET, BUT VEHICLE CONTINUED BACKWARDS, CATCHING REAR DOOR ON POWER POLE AND REMOVING DOOR AND JAMMING DRIVER DOOR SHUT. I LEAPED TO THE SIDE, THE VEHICLE BARELY MISSING ME, VEHICLE CONTINUED ABOUT 100 FEET INTO A FIELD, THEN STOPPED. *NM

VIBRATION IN FRONT END. *NM

CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED TAKING ALMOST 2 WEEKS. ONLY 24,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *JB

SHIFTS OUT PARK WITH OUT MOTOR RUNNING; AND EVEN WITHOUT PRESSING ON BRAKE PEDAL. JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CAN BE SHIFTED OUT PARK BY PULLING IT BACK TO EITHER REVERSE OR NEUTRAL OR DRIVE; WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE APPLIED MY JEEP ROLLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE STREET; DID NOT HIT ANYTHING; DEALERSHIP HAS HAD VEHICLE TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR AND STILL HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT; THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME IT HAS GONE IN FOR THE SHIFTER PROBLEM. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND REPLACED THEM WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

I LEASED A BRAND NEW 2004 SPECIAL EDITION JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN DECEMBER OF 2003. AT APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES OF NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. AFTER REVIEWING THE MY CAR STATS WEBSITE I QUESTIONED WHETHER IT COULD BE A ROTOR PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TURNED THE ROTORS, REPORTING THEY WERE BADLY WARPED. THEY ALSO ENSURED ME THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND WAS WIDELY KNOWN TO BE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ISSUE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT ROTORS SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN 25,000 MILES. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $100 TO CORRECT AN ISSUE THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW. I ALSO DO NOT INTEND TO KEEP THE VEHICLE BEYOND THE TERM OF THE LEASE AS I DO NOT WANT TO INVEST $400-$500 EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS. FOR ANYONE OUT THERE CONSIDERING A DAIMLER CHRYSLER PRODUCT, THINK TWICE BEFORE SIGNING ON THE DOTTED LINE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. THIS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING DURING NORMAL BRAKING ON NORMAL ROADS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED HOWEVER NO INSPECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED. UPDATED 06/19/06. *JB

5/25/05 THE JEEP WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND RUNNING WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, WITH THE BOYS INSIDE. WE WERE HURRYING THEM TO SCHOOL. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND DRY. I RAN BACK INTO THE HOUSE, WHICH TOOK LESS THAN 3 MINUTES, TO GET BETSY TO HURRY UP. WHEN I WAS HEADING BACK TO THE CAR THE BOYS WERE YELLING . THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS AND ROLLED INTO THE BRICK RETAINING WALL AROUND THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN I GOT TO THE CAR THE GEAR SHIFT WAS SLIGHTLY OUT OF PARK. OVER $1500 IN DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE CAR. A CLAIM WAS FILED WITH INSURANCE COMPANY. I ASSUMED THE FAULT WAS MINE DUE TO BEING IN A HURRY. 1/17/06 I WAS MOVING CARS AROUND THE DRIVEWAY AND HAD THE JEEP PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, THE CAR WAS IN PARK WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND DRY. I HAD THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN, BECAUSE I WAS ONLY GOING INTO THE GARAGE FOR A SECOND. I HAPPENED TO TURN TOWARDS THE JEEP AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS. I RAN TO THE JEEP, INTENDING TO STOP IT BY PUTTING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. WHEN I JUMPED INTO THE JEEP I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE WAS ALREADY ON, AND THAT THE CAR APPEARED TO BE FULLY IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR THIS TIME. I CALLED DAIMLER CHRYSLER THAT AFTERNOON TO TELL THEM OF MY STORY. I WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE CONTACTING ME SOON TO LOOK AT THE CAR, AND NOT TO HAVE ANY WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE PERSON WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT THE JEEP. 1/18/06 MR. W CONTACTED ME TO MEET TO LOOK AT THE CAR. 1/19/06 MET MR. W AT BERGLUND JEEP AT NOON; HE SPENT ONE HOUR LOOKING THE CAR OVER. HE SAID THAT HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TELL ME ANYTHING , AND THAT CHRYSLER WOULD BE CONTACTING ME. HE DID STATE TO ME THAT I SHOULD KEEP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON THE CAR, AND TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. *JB *AK *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE TIRE TREAD WAS WORN TO 3/64 ON ALL FOUR TIRES AFTER ONLY 10,000 OF USE. THE TIRES HAD BEEN ROTATED BY THE SERVICE DEALER AND PROPER PRESSURE HAD BEEN MAINTAINED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED BY THE CONTACT WHO TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE SERVICE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE WEAR AND RECOMMEND TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE TIRE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE TIRE DEALER WHO WAS ALSO UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE WEAR, BUT RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TIRES. UPDATED 7/5/2006 - *NM

2004 GRAND CHEROKEE ELECTRICAL UNITS STOPPED WORKING. *TS WHILE DRIVING ON A HOT DAY THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT HE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE BCM. THE BCM WAS REPLACED. A WEEK LATER, ON ANOTHER HOT DAY, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AGAIN BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. AS A RESULT THE A/C DID NOT WORK AND THE POWER WINDOWS COULD NOT BE ROLLED DOWN. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY WHILE PULLING INTO A GARAGE STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GE THE VEHICLE FIXED THE DEALER FOUND A BROKEN GROUND WIRE IN THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS. AFTER NINE MONTHS THE PROBLEMS HAVE NOT RECURRED. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE BROKEN GROUND WIRE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL SHUT DOWN AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *NM

APRIL 21, 2006: I WAS PROCEEDING ON A GREEN LEFT TURN ARROW AND WAS HIT BY A FORD TAURUS RUNNING STOP LIGHT. HE VEERED AROUND MY FRONT END, TEARING OFF THE ENTIRE FRONT END AND PUSHING MY VEHICLE INTO THE ONCOMING LANES. I DID NOT SEE HIM COMING. I HEARD THE CRASH, THEN SAW A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT. I HAD LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND WAS AWAKENED BY A MAN KNOCKING ON MY WINDOW. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT HOLD. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I SMASHED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING HEAD AND CHEST TRAUMA, WAS RUSHED TO THE ER, SPENDING TWO DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A BRUISED HEART AND HEAD LACERATIONS. RECEIVED FULL BODY SCANS, X-RAYS, CARDIAC TESTING, DR BILLS ($30,000 AND STILL COUNTING). THE LEASE CAR IS TOTALED ($14,000 DAMAGE). I HAVE CONSTANT PAIN, BRUISING, HEADACHES, BLURRED VISION, MEMORY LOSS. I LOST MY NEW JOB AS A RESULT. FYI: ANOTHER JEEP CHEROKEE HIT THE WALL ON I-95, 5-21-06 AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS GONE. CURIOUS IF THAT SEAT BELT HELD? DID NOT SEE ANY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. CALLED 911 FROM MY CELL TO REPORT THE CRASH, 1/2 MILE SOUTH OF ATLANTIC BLVD EXIT (BROWARD COUNTY, FL). HOW MANY DEATHS ARE ACTUALLY CAUSED BY THE FAULTY SEAT BELTS? IF I HAD GOTTEN BROAD SIDED, I WOULD HAVE GONE RIGHT THROUGH MY SIDE WINDOW. I COMPLAINED TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, THE FAULTY SEAT BELTS HAVE RESULTED IN MY HAVING A HUGE CLAIM WHICH IS GOING TO CAUSE MY FUTURE INSURANCE PREMIUMS TO SKYROCKET! THERE MUST BE MORE THAN JUST 3 INCIDENTS!! INSURANCE COMPANIES, ATTORNEYS OR OWNERS ARE NOT REPORTING!? *JB

I OWN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ONLY 16000 MILES. AT 12600 MILE I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS WHERE THE JEEP WHO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO THE POINT WHERE SOMEONE MIGHT LOOSE CONTROL OF THE JEEP CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE DEATH. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACE AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AFTER 12000 MILES SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $400 WHICH I REFUSED TO DO. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY PERSONNEL MECHANIC AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED AND NEW PADS FOR AROUND $100. NOW WITH 16000 IT NEEDS TO BE DONE AGAIN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. ITS NOT RIGHT THAT EVERY 3-5000 MILES I NEED BRAKES! I WAS TOLD THAT ITS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ROTORS THROUGH DESIGN TOE IN WHEN APPLIED CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE PADS AND ROTORS. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! I WILL FILE WITH THE BBB HERE IN MA. AND THE ATT. GEN BUT I'M HOPING THAT YOU CAN ASSIST ALSO. IF YOU LOOK AT WEBSITES LIKE WWW.MYCARSTATS.COM THERE ARE AT LEAST A 100 COMPLAINTS REFERENCING THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE...BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *JB

I PURCHASED A USED 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN JANUARY OF 06. I HAVE HAD IT 3 1/2 MONTHS NOW AND ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO THE VEHICLE STARTED TO IDLE ROUGH WHEN I'D COME TO A RED LIGHT. THEN THE NEXT DAY I MY WIFE USED THE JEEP AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT FELT LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT I BLEW AN INJECTOR AND THE OTHER INJECTORS HAD CARBON BUILD UP IN THEM. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 27,00 MILES ON IT. THEY CHANGED THE INJECTOR AND THEN CLEANED THE OTHERS. IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS SUPPOSE TO LEAVE SUNDAY MAY 14TH TO DRIVE TO NY FROM FLA. ON FRIDAY MAY 13TH THE JEEP STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. IT RAN WORSE THAN THE PREVIOUS TIME. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND STATED THAT IT IS WORSE AND I NEED THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ASAP BECAUSE I AM TRAVELING TO NY ON SUNDAY,2 DAYS LATER. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND CAME BACK AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE PCM IN THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THAT THE CONTROL BOARD WAS BAD. NOW I AM PAYING FOR A LEASE CAR,I AM WITHOUT MY JEEP,AND WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE LEFT FOR NY ON SUNDAY. IT IS NOW MONDAY. I BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT SAID VEHICLE SHOULD BE RELIABLE. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT, IT SHOULDN'T HAVE A COMPUTER PROBLEM YET. THE DEALER IS SUPPOSEDLY FIXING THE SITUATION. BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING HERE,I MAY HAVE A ONGOING SITUATION. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE. DO I HAVE A CASE FOR THE LEMON LAW? *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE THE BRAKES VIBRATED. THIS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING DURING NORMAL BRAKING ON NORMAL ROADS AT ALL SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

SUBMISSION IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED WITH 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AFTER A SAFETY RECALL SERVICE AT THE BAYSIDE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE DEALERSHIP CERTIFIED MAIL. *TS *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED A SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. UPDATED 5/22/2006 - *NM

I PURCHASED A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN AUGUST OF 2004. WITHIN THE FIRST 7000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS DUE TO WARPING. DAIMLER/CHRYSLER COVERED THIS SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. WITHIN THE NEXT 7000 MILES THEY HAD WARPED AGAIN. DAIMLER CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER THEM THIS TIME. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR AFTERMARKET ROTORS AND PADS WHICH WERE A BETTER QUALITY THAN WHAT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER USED THE FIRST TIME. THESE ROTORS AND PADS HAVE LASTED ABOUT 12000 MILES AND HAVE WARPED AGAIN. I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT SOMEONE BUYING A JEEP PRODUCT WOULD THINK THAT THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR FRONT ROTORS AND PADS CLOSE TO TWICE PER YEAR. I HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH THE SHAKE THAT OCCURS DUE TO THE WARPING HOWEVER WHEN EXITING A HIGHWAY AND DECELERATING FROM HIGH SPEEDS THE SHAKE IS UNBEARABLE. I NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE TO REPLACE MY FRONT ROTORS AND PADS SO FREQUENTLY. ON MY LAST VEHICLE WHICH WASD A FORD I REPLACED THEM EVERY 24000 MILES. I AM AWARE THAT JEEP REPLACED THE FRONT CALIPERS ON THEIR 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT THEY ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE CALIPERS SOON BEFORE I AM BROKE FROM REPAIRING MY FRONT BRAKES. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY COMPLAINT. *NM

AT 17,000 MILES MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO FREEDOM V-8 4.7 HO ENGINE DEVELOPED A ROUGH IDLE. THE DEALER CLEANED OUT THE FUEL INJECTOR AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. 2ND TIME THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE #2 PISTON POPPED IN AND OUT SO THE MECHANICS AGREED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND RECOMMENDED A NEW ENGINE; BUT THE MANAGER WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THEY AGREE THE VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH AND NOTICE THE VEHICLES ON THE LOT RUN SMOOTH. THEY SUGGESTED I CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS WHICH COST ME OVER $200.00 AND THAT DID NOT HELP. THE DEALER DID CHANGE THE OIL PUMP AND PUT IN 8 NEW LIFTERS. THIS STILL DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DISTRICT MANAGER STATED ALL THE JEEPS RUN THAT WAY. HE AND THE MANAGER ABOVE HIM BOTH STATE THEY WILL DO NOTHING FOR ME AND THEY ARE CLOSING THE BOOK. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. SOME HAVE A ROUGH IDLE AND SOME RUN VERY SMOOTH. OTHER RELIABLE PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS THE COMPUTER. WHEN I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER HE SAID TO PUT THE ENGINE IN LOW AND IT WILL JUMP THE COMPUTER INTO SHAPE. THE IDLE IS GETTING WORSE AND HAS AFFECTED MY GAS MILEAGE. I AM STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND AM GETTING NO WHERE WITH JEEP OR CHRYSLER. I NOW HAVE OVER 31,000 MILES AND AM NEARING THE END OF MY WARRANTY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE COMPUTER JUST DIES. I IMAGINE THE ENGINE WILL STOP ON THE ROAD AND POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. I JUST WANT CHRYSLER TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION SO I CAN BE ASSURED OF A SAFE VEHICLE. ANOTHER THING IS THEY NEVER GIVE ME PAPERWORK AFTER THEY'VE HAD MY CAR FOR A FEW DAYS TO CHECK THINGS OUT. THEY ALWAYS TELL ME IT'S STILL OPEN AND WHEN EVERYTHING IS FINISHED THEY'LL GIVE ME PAPERWORK. *JB

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FRONT ROTORS WARPED AFTER 14,000 MILES OF MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING. IN ALL MY YEARS OF OWNING VEHICLES, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING BEING THE FAULT OF THE DRIVER AS MY DEALERSHIP WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO ME. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $100.00 TO MACHINE THE ROTORS. HOW WILL THIS PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN??? THESE ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. I HAVE OWNED THREE JEEPS PREVIOUS TO THIS ONE AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I THINK THIS WILL BE MY LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THERE WAS A PRONOUNCED VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 05/16/2006. *AK *NM

I OWN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAD TO PUT BRAKES ON IT MAY 30, 2005. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO PUT FOUR ADDITIONAL SETS OF BRAKES. THE LAST 4/25/06. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND DAIMLER/CHRYSLER BOTH AGREE THAT THE INITIAL BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE WERE NOT OF THE STANDARD, QUALITY AND DURABILITY NEEDED. THE LAST SET OF BRAKES WERE HEAVY DUTY AND OBVIOUSLY COST CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN REGULAR BRAKES. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE HEATING UNIT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT CAUGHT FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE CONTACT HEARD FIRE TRUCKS. THE VEHICLE WAS FULL OF SMOKE. THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM DAIMLER/CHRYSLER CAME OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED AND DETERMINED THE FIRE WAS OF AN ELECTRICAL NATURE. THE CONTACT REPORTS HAVING NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT.

I LEASE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH HEATED LEATHER SEATS. EARLIER THIS YEAR THE DRIVER SIDE HEATER WENT OUT THEN I NOTICED THAT JUST THE LOWER BACK HEATER CAME ON. ONE DAY IN FEBRUARY AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND 1/2 I GOT HOME AND TRIED TO TAKE OFF MY SWEATSHIRT BUT COULD NOT AS IT WAS MELTED TO MY CELL PHONE CASE. AT FIRST I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED THEN UPON LATER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED A BURN WHOLE IN MY CAR SEAT THAT RAN UP WHAT WAS APPARENTLY THE HEATER WIRE. I AM A PARAPLEGIC AND IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE CELL PHONE CASE I COULD HAVE BEEN BURNED. MY CONCERN IS FOR OTHERS LIKE ME AND DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE HEAT WHICH COULD MELT A SWEAT SHIRT AND A PHONE CASE THAT IT POTENTIALLY COULD IGNITE CLOTHING. *JB

PASSENGER FRONT HEATED SEAT BURNED THROUGH THE SEAT COVER IN THE 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE. *TS THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT AN ELEMENT HAD SHORTED OUT INTERNALLY CAUSING THE FAILURE AND DAMAGE TO THE SEAT CUSHION. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. ON 3/20/006 THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEATED SEAT BURNED A 1/2 INCH HOLE IN THE SEAT CUSHION. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE SEAT AND THE DRIVER'S CLOTHING AND WELL AS A SLIGHT DISCOLORATION OF THE SKIN ON HIS BUTTOCKS. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER. *NM

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I BOUGHT THE ONE ON THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR WITH 46 MILES ON IT. IN ALL OF THE VEHICLES I HAVE PURCHASED OVER THE YEARS I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS. I JUST TOOK IT IN FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR BRAKES. I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE BAD AGAIN! OF COURSE THE ROTORS WILL BE WARRANTY. HOWEVER I WAS CHARGED $90.00 LABOR FOR WARRANTY WORK, AGAIN. I TOLD THE DEALER TO GO PAST THE ROTORS THIS TIME AND CHECK THE PADS. THEY SAID THEY WERE WORN 20-30%, BUT I BROUGHT THE PARTS HOME AND MY HUSBAND SAID THEY WERE GONE! THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID "JEEP KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR BRAKES AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT"! I WAS GETTING 13 MPG AFTER 36,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD IF I GOT A TUNE UP IT WOULD BE BETTER. WELL, $300 LATER IT IS NOT BETTER! NOW I GET 12. 4 WD..I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE 4WD LOCKING UP. I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE THE PT 4WD. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN FT 4WD IN THE WINTER AND WENT TO TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE. IT LOCKED UP IN THE TURN AND WE CAME INCHES FROM HITTING A PARKED CAR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. PLEASE! NORMAL? SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. I HAD METAL IN THE TRANSMISSION. NOW PLEASE TELL ME HOW THAT CAN HAPPEN? I AM A 56 YEAR OLD WOMAN. WHAT IF I DROVE IT THE WAY COMMERCIALS SAY YOU CAN? I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT OF COURSE WHEN SOMETHING IS DONE IT ISN'T A COVERED EXPENSE. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT I PURCHASED A JEEP WITH ALOT OF PROBLEMS AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I AM GOING TO GET MY REPAIR INVOICES TOGETHER AND CALL OUR LOCAL TV STATION. TOLEDO OHIO HAS THOUSANDS OF JEEPS IN PARKING LOTS ALL OVER THE CITY AND I WANT THE CONSUMERS TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS THEY WILL HAVE IF THEY PURCHASE ONE. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE BEFORE I PURSUE FURTHER. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED THE HEATED SEAT WARMER BURNED THROUGH THE SEAT CUSHION WITHOUT WARNING. THE OCCUPANT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES FROM THE HEAT. ALTHOUGH NO VISIBLE FLAMES WERE PRESENT THERE WAS SLIGHT CHARRING TO THE SEAT CUSHION AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE HEATED SEAT ELEMENT AND CUSHION. THE DEALER DETERMINED THERE WAS AN INTERNAL SHORT OF THE SEAT WARMER. *AK

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND. HAD TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS AFTER ONLY 14717 MILES. OWNED 2 JEEPS PREVIOUSLY AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. *JB

PURCHASED 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ABOUT 11,000 MILES. BY 24,000 ROTORS ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF WARPING. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED STEERING WHEEL SHIVERS AND ALSO GET PEDAL FEEDBACK. THIS IS CAUSING AN UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A CAR WITH ONLY 24,000 MILES ON IT. *JB

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY APPROX 40-60 MPH AND COLLIDED WITH VEHICLE. THE FRONT END OUR OF OURS AND THE REAR END OF THERE VEHICLE WERE DESTROYED. NONE OF OUR AIR BAGS POPPED OUT AND THE COMPANY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTS. OUR VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BEFORE THE COMPANY SENT OUT THEIR REPRESENTATIVE CAME TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG DUH THE VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED. WE ARE NOW SUFFERING ANXIETY, PANIC ATTACKS AND DEPRESSION FROM THIS ACCIDENT THAT HAD OUR 1 YEAR OLD INVOLVED. *NM

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES (JUST OVER 1 YEAR OF OWNERSHIP), THE JEEP BEGAN WITH A PRONOUNCED VIBRATION DURING BRAKING. THIS WAS PARTICULARLY BAD WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BRAKES WERE ALSO LESS EFFECTIVE. I HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED, BUT HAD TO PAY ALL LABOR COSTS AND FOR THE BRAKE PADS MYSELF. AT APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES THE SAME PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED UNDER THE 12,000 MILE REPLACED PART WARRANTY. THE PADS DID NOT NEED REPLACING. ROTORS SHOULD NOT BECOME UNUSABLE BEFORE BRAKE PADS. I HAVE OWNED A 1998 JEEP GR. CHEROKEE BEFORE THIS AND IT HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTORS. I ALSO KNOW SEVERAL OTHER FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. TWO OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE 2002 MODELS AND ONE HAS A 2003 MODEL. IN ALL CASES THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TIME AFTER TIME. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE BRAKES PULSATED WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT 3,500 MILES THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE ROTORS. THE PROBLEM RETURNED AT 11,000 MILES. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS DUE TO WARPING.

WE BOUGHT A NEW 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE AND SHORTLY AFTER THE 12000 WARRANTY WORK WE NOTICED AN INCREASING SHUDDER AND EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. AT THE 15000 MILE WARRANTY WORK, WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED AND FOUND THAT THE FRONT WHEEL ROTORS WERE OUT OF ROUND AND REQUIRED TURNING. THE DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE PERSONNEL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HELPFUL AND ABLE TO ASSIST US WITH THE VEHICLE BUT IN THIS CASE THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. AS WE FELT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SAFETY HAZARD, WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED AFTER 12000 MILES. TELEPHONE CONTACT WITH THE NATIONAL NUMBER FOR CHRYSLER WAS TERSE AND WERE ADVISED AGAIN THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED. WHEN ASKING TO ADDRESSED THIS WITH A PERSON HIGHER UP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE AND THAT THIS PERSON WAS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ALL DECISIONS RELATIVE TO THE PROBLEM. NOT FEELING SAFE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE, WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED. APPARENTLY, THIS WILL BE AN EXPECTED EXPENSE EVERY 12000 MILES. IT WAS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING GOING DOWN INCLINES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT FOR THE JEEP CHEROKEES. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ROTORS WARPED RESULTING IN FRONT END VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OF 50 TO 60 MPH. THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED BY THE SERVICE DEALER THREE TIMES. THE REPLACEMENT PADS AND ROTORS FAILED AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 6,000 MILES AND THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED THIS PATTERN WILL CONTINUE. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. DURING THE NEXT TWO VISITS, ONLY THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION FOR THE WEAR UNTIL THIS MOST RECENT VISIT, 3/16/06, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY AGGRESSIVE BRAKING. VEHICLE PULSATED WHEN COMING TO STOP AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT SPEED OF 25 MPH. CONTACT FELT IT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO STOP OR LOSS OF CONTROL. VEHICLE VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY WHEN SLOWING AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR HIGHER OR FOR ON/OFF RAMPS OR TRAFFIC BACK UPS ON HIGHWAYS. IT FELT AS IF VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP OR LOSE CONTROL DUE TO WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. HAPPENED ON THREE OCCASIONS; 09/29/ 2005, 05/05/2005, AND 05/16/2006. *AK

BOUGHT 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN NOVEMBER 2004. OVER THE COURSE OF SIX MONTHS AND 8,000 MILES, BRAKE ROTORS BEGAN TO WARP AND CAUSE INCREASED BRAKING DISTANCES AND INSTABILITY DURING BRAKING. DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS, AND BRAKING RETURNED TO NORMAL. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 11 MONTHS AND 19,000, THE PULSATION IN THE BRAKES RETURNED CAUSING INSTABILITY IN BRAKING AND LONGER BRAKING DISTANCES. MANUFACTURER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED (12/12,000 MILES FOR ROTORS). I WILL REPLACE ROTORS WITH BETTER QUALITY PARTS TO PREVENT WARPING IN THE FUTURE.*JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED AND THE REAR ROTORS WERE TURNED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE AND THE BRAKES PULSATED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM GRADUALLY BECAME WORSE. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WEARING DOWN. THE DEALER WILL BE TURNING THE ROTORS.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN WHILE DRIVING 30MPH OR LESS. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 03V079000, REGARDING THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SEEN BY A DEALER.

2004 GRAND CHEROKEE LEFT WHEEL CAME OFF. *TS THE LUG NUTS HAD BROKEN OFF. THE CONSUMER STATED ON 12-28-05 THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. *JB

2004 GRAND CHEROKEE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN PARK. THE CONSUMER THINK THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. *TS WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS THE DRIVER'S DOOR CRASHED INTO THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE CONSUMER'S GARAGE DOORS. THE DRIVER'S DOOR BUCKLED AND THE WINDOW SHATTERED. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WITH THE VEHICLE STILL IN PARK. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID NOT MOVE AND THE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. UPDATED 3/17/2006 - THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE GAS PEDAL WAS HARD/STICKING ON COLD START UP. THE TECHNICIAN REMOVED THE THROTTLE AND CLEANED IT AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. *NM

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FREEDOM EDITION TO WORK AT 6:20 AM. A VEHICLE APPROACHING HER (TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM WHERE SHE WAS TRAVELING) LOST A TIRE. SHE WAS TRAVELING AT AROUND 60 MILES AN HOUR AND THE OTHER DRIVER SAID HE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT THE SAME. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE OF THE OTHER VEHICLE CAME OFF AND STRUCK THE JEEP IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. THE PLASTIC COVER SHATTERED, FOAM UNDERLAY CRUSHED AND BROKE AWAY, AND THE STEEL BUMPER WAS SMASHED. HOWEVER, THE FRONTAL IMPACT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR SMOKE WAS NOTICED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE. THE FIRE MARSHAL FILED A REPORT AND DETERMINED THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE SEAT HEATER. THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER WERE ALERTED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHEN BRAKE PRESSURE IS APPLIED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATES. THIS OCCURS ON NORMAL ROADS AND DURING NORMAL BRAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER, NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

IN FEBRUARY 2004 I PURCHASED A NEW 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AT SPEED MOTORS (AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER) IN BROOKLYN NEW YORK. AT 7000 MILES THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE BREAKS BECAUSE THE DISKS HAD WARPED. WHEN I OPERATED THE JEEP AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND APPLIED THE BREAKS THE FRONT END WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE. AT ABOUT 14,000 MILES I RETURNED THE JEEP TO THE SAME DEALER WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. HE AGAIN REPLACED THE BRAKES IN THE FRONT. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN THE JEEP BACK TO SPEED MOTORS AT LEAST FIVE TIMES WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT SPEED MOTORS LOST IT'S BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH JEEP/CHRYSLER AND CAN NO LONGER SERVICE MY JEEP. I AGAIN ENCOUNTER THE VIOLENT SHAKING WITH THE FRONT END AND TOOK THE CAR TO BAYRIDGE JEEP IN BROOKLYN NEW YORK. I DROPPED THE JEEP OFF AND LATER THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLS ME AT HOME TO EXPLAIN THAT THE FRONT AND REAR BREAKS AND DISKS MUST BE REPLACED. THE SERVICES MANAGER THAN EXPLAINS TO ME THAT THIS WILL COST AROUND $875.00. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. HE EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS AT AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE WARRANTY AND TO MAKE A RECORD OF THE BREAK PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I CALL THE CUSTOMER SERVICES TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR CHRYSLER AND SPOKE TO A FEMALE OPERATOR WHO THAN PAST ME ON TO HER MALE SUPERVISOR. WHEN I QUESTIONED THE MALE OPERATOR ABOUT HOW AND WHY AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER COULD PUT A NEW YORK STATE INSPECTION STRIKER ON MY CAR WITH A CLEAR MIND KNOWING THAT THERE ARE MAJOR BREAK PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE HE BLEW ME OFF AGAIN. I WANT TO GO ON RECORD AS SAYING THAT THERE ARE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. THE DATE BELOW OF 1-23 -06 IS THE DATE I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BAYRIDGE JEEP. THE DATE OF INCIDENT IS THE PERIOD FROM TIME OF PURCHASE TO 1-23-06. I FULLY EXPECT THIS CURRENT BREAK REPLACEMENT TO ONLY LAST A FEW THOUSAND MILES. *NM

THE STEERING ON 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BECOMES HARD AT TIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING OR ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A PARKING SPACE. YOUR WEB SITE LISTS THIS PROBLEM AS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER JEEP ,SO I CALLED 1-24-06 AND WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THE RECALLS WERE VIN NUMBER SPECIFIC AND MY JEEP WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING ANY ACTION AT THIS TIME TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FOR ME. *AK

HAD A SQUEAKY POWER STEERING SYSTEM ON 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE RIGHT FROM THE FIRST DAY OF PURCHASE. JEEP REFUSED TO CORRECT THE SQUEAK, SAYING THAT THIS WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS MODEL.*AK

(1) SEVERE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATION AND ASSOCIATED SHAKING AND SEVERE VIBRATION TO STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN. (2) PREMATURE WARPING OF FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ANNUALLY - TWICE IN 30K MILES SINCE NEW. (3) ORIGINAL ROTORS MACHINED IN PLACE @ 16K MILES; ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED @ 30K MILES. REQUESTED DEALER MEASURE NEW ROTORS WITH MICROMETER TO ENSURE INITIAL VARIATION IN THICKNESS WITHIN DAIMLER CHRYSLER SPECS. RUN OUT MEASUREMENTS ALSO REQUESTED, MADE AND RECORDED PRIOR TO AND AFTER INSTALLATION. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED AT A STOP THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE PARKING BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AFTER THIS WAS DONE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT IN USE WHEN THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK UPDATED 01/25/06. *JB

I AM REPORTING THE SECOND INSTANCE OF FRONT BRAKE ROTOR WARPING ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHICH HAS ~27,000 MILES. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES. ON BRAKING AT SPEEDS OF >35 MPH (EVEN NORMAL BRAKING - NOT EMERGENCY BRAKING), THERE IS AN EXCESSIVE FRONT END SHIMMY AND CHATTER THAT SEEMS DANGEROUS. IT SEEMED VERY UNUSUAL THAT THE FRONT ROTORS HAD WARPED AT 15,000 MILES, BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT BRAKES WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THE JEEP WARRANTY SO WE PAID FOR TURNING THEM. NOW THE FRONT ROTORS ARE WARPED AGAIN AND WILL REQUIRE SERVICE. THE DEALER AGAIN SAYS THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR TURNING THEM AGAIN OR REPLACING THEM. WE DO NOT PULL ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE AND RARELY USE THE BRAKES FOR ANYTHING BUT ROUTINE STOPPING, SO THE ROTORS SHOULD NOT WARP SO FREQUENTLY. CLEARLY THERE ARE DESIGN PROBLEMS WITH THIS THAT COULD CREATE AN UNSAFE SITUATION WHEN BRAKING IF I WERE NOT TO HAVE THE ROTORS FIXED SO FREQUENTLY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE STEERING WHEEL WERE NOT GRIPPED TIGHTLY DURING BRAKING THE VEHICLE COULD EASILY GO OUT OF CONTROL. *JB

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (AROUND 60 MPH) WHEN APPLYING BRAKES STEERING WHEEL SHAKES (VIBRATES), REPLACED FRONT ROTORS, FRONT PADS, CONTACT DEALER, ALL THAT STARTING AT 15,000 MILES ON A NEW CAR. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS PULSATING. THERE WAS 15,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND CUT THE ROTORS. AT 20,600 MILES THE PULSATION RETURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL DID NOT WORK THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUSE MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT IT FAILED IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO FURTHER REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE IDLE CONTROL MOTOR, BUT VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED SHE CONTINUED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND NEEDED TO MAKE A PANIC STOP THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CORRECTED TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON MAY 7, 2004 AT 9,175 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THEY RESURFACED THE ROTORS. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON 3-15-05 AT 17,664 MILES WHEN THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND IT. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE CORRECTED THE VEHICLE TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. IF THE BRAKE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE CORRECTED AGAIN IT WILL BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 24,700 MILES ON IT. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHIN 5000 MILES OF EACH FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WERE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE 2003 MODELS AND THE MANUFACTURER CORRECTED THEM. *AK

DEFECTIVE BLEND DOOR HOUSING. *JB

1. EXCEPTIONALLY HARD DOWNSHIFT UNDER ACCELERATION. 2. UNDER LIGHT OR MODERATE ACCELERATION, WOULD START IN 2ND GEAR. POSSIBLE TO MOVE SELECTOR TO 1ST GEAR. 3. AT FULL STOP WOULD HUNT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. UNINTENDED FORWARD MOVEMENT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. IN ONE INSTANCE PEDESTRIAN WALKED IN FRONT OF VEHICLE WHEN THIS UNINTENDED MOVEMENT OCCURRED NEARLY PINNING PEDESTRIAN BETWEEN 2 VEHICLES 4. UNDER ACCELERATION JEEP VEHICLE SEEMED TO GO OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL AT ABOUT 60 TO 65 MPH. LOSS OF FORWARD MOMENTUM AND FUEL SHUT OFF OCCURRED . THE TRANSMISSION RESUMED ACCELERATION BUT WITH VERY DELIBERATE AND EXTENDED GEAR SELECTION. WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS A SEMI ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH LONG UPHILL GRADE I GOT ALONGSIDE THE SEMI AND COULD SEE THE DRIVERS DOOR IN MY PERIPHERAL VISION. THE JEEP VEHICLE KICKED INTO NEUTRAL , THE FUEL SHUT OFF OCCURRED AND I LOST ENOUGH FORWARD MOMENTUM TO NOT COMPLETE THE PASS SAFELY. ANOTHER VEHICLE APPEARED OVER THE CREST OF THE HILL SOME DISTANCE AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE HARD ENOUGH TO GET BACK IN LINE WITH THE SEMI. A HEAD ON COLLISION WAS AVERTED. WHILE TRAVELING ON A FEDERAL HIGHWAY IN COLORADO WITH A LONG GRADUAL UPHILL GRADE AND CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 65 THE JEEP VEHICLE SELECTED NEUTRAL CAUSING RAPID INCREASE IN RPM TO FUEL SHUTOFF POINT AND LOSS OF FORWARD MOMENTUM TO ABOUT 35 OR 40 MPH. AFTER TRANSMISSION RETURNED TO A GEAR I WAS ABLE TO RESUME TRAVEL AND CLICK THE CRUISE BACK ON. THIS TYPE OCCURRENCE BECAME FREQUENT. JEEP VEHICLE SVC TECH DROVE VEHICLE OVER 160 MILES AND WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE OCCURRENCE. THE BANDS WERE TIGHTENED AND VARIOUS OTHER LITTLE FIXES. JEEP VEHICLE NOW SELECTS 1ST GEAR TO START. JEEP VEHICLE NO LONGER HUNTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND. JEP VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO KICK INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN. REPAIRS STARTED AT ABOUT 5 OR 6000 MILES AND HAVE NOW TOTALED 6 ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THIS UNSAFE (IN MY OPINION) VARIETY OF COMPLAINTS ALL CENTERED ON MALFUNCTIONS IN (APPARENTLY) THE TRANSMISSION. *JB

THE ROTORS ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE DEFECTIVE. AT 31,000 MILES, I FELT A PULSING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE DEALER INSPECTED MY BRAKES AND SAID THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED 0.4. I DO NOT USE BRAKES HEAVILY. THE PADS STILL HAVE 3/8"(I HAVE THE OLD PADS) REMAINING AFTER 31,000 MILES. WHEN I HAD THE ROTORS TURNED I ASKED THE MECHANIC IF THIS WAS UNUSUAL AND HIS COMMENT WAS, "CHRYSLER KEEPS HIM VERY BUSY. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE HAD TO TURN THEM DOWN TO THE MINIMUM ALLOWED, SO IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL HAVE TO BUY NEW ROTORS. I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS, TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE. WHEN I WAS BLEEDING THE BRAKE LINES, I NOTICED THE CALIPER TWISTED THE ROTOR INWARD WHEN BRAKING PRESSURE WAS APPLIED. I AM 62 AND THIS IS MY FIRST CHRYSLER CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED ON ANY OF MY PREVIOUS CARS, WHICH BEFORE THIS JEEP WERE ALL GM CARS. I BELIEVE THE ROTORS AND/OR CALIPERS/BRAKE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER IN OCTOBER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NOT ANSWERED ME TO DATE. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 25,000 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE THE JEEP WOULD SHAKE EVERYTIME THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE DEALER REPORTED I WOULD PROBABLY NEED NEW BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. THE DEALER REPORTS "THAT HE IS NOT AWARE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2004 JEEPS." HE STATED THE CONSUMER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. HE ATTRIBUTED THE WEAR OF THE BRAKES TO THE CONSUMERS DRIVING STYLE. NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. *NM

THIS IS A LITTLE OUTOF YOUR NORMAL SCHOPE; HOWEVER, I THINK THE POTENTIAL IS CLEAR. OUR 2004 JEEP WAS REARENDED AND THE FUEL TANK WAS INVOLVED. THE PLASTIC TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED. OUR INSURER, STATE FARM REFUSED TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW TANK, INSTEAD INSISTING ON USING A USED TANK FROM WRECKED JEEP. THE TANK RECIEVED NO TESTING OTHER THAN A VISUAL FROM THE JUNK YARD. THE QUALITY OF THE ATTACHMENT POINTS ON THE TANK RECIEVED NO CLOSE INSPECTION OTHER THAN VISUAL

DT: EVENFLO MODEL # 3781522P1, DOM SEPTEMBER 2, 2004. WHEN THE CONTACT WENT TO PUT THE CHILD IN THE SEAT SHE FOUND THAT THE BAR HAD BROKE WHERE IT ATTACHED TO THE SEAT. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF WHAT CAUSED THE BRAKEAGE. *AK UPDATED 11/29/05. *JB

DT: 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAS PEDAL BROKE WHILE DRIVING. THE THROTTLE CABLE THAT WAS ATTACHED TO IT BROKE. THIS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER RAN INTO A BRICK WALL, PARKED CAR, AND A POLE BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE BRAKE WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER WILL NOT TELL THE CONTACT ANYTHING ABOUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. NO ONE WAS INJURED THE POLICE WERE CALLED, BUT THEY DID NOT RESPOND BECAUSE IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING NORMALLY PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT. THIS OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2004. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS THE AGENCY THAT FOUND THAT THE THROTTLE CABLE BROKE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY STILL HAS THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS NOT TOTALED. *AK UPDATED 11/29/05. *JB

DT: THE BRAKES ARE PULSING MUCH MORE THAN USUAL. WHEN PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES ONE COULD FEEL THE PULSING. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP , THEY WERE NOT SURPRISED .THEY PUT ON NEW FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. THIS STARTED ON APRIL 15, 2005. WHEN GOING OVER 20 MPH ONE WOULD NOTICE THE PROBLEM MORE.*AK *NM

I OWN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE UNDER 30,000 MILES ON THE CAR. WHEN I BRAKE, THE STEERING WHEEL SHUDDERS AND THE BRAKES PULSE. THE DEALER INFORMS ME THAT THE ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. ROTORS SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 30,000 MILES. IT IS UNSAFE AND EXPENSIVE. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AS IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE 1990'S AND THEY STILL DO NOT FIX THE ROTORS.*JB

WARPED BRAKES ON 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE. EAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DO LOTS OF CITY DRIVING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN GRAND CHEROKEES. I EVEN HAD AN ASSOCIATE THAT SOLD HIS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEM. WHILE BRAKING ON HIGHWAY THE CAR VIOLENTLY SHAKES AND IS DANGEROUS. THIS IS THE VEHICLE I TRANSPORT MY CHILD IN AND IT IS NOT A RESPONSIBLE FEELING I GET WHEN I PUT HER IN THE CAR. CHRYLSER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS. LOOKING AT RESEARCH I DID THIS PROBLEM GOES BACK AT LEAST 8 YEARS. *JB

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, WHILE PUTTING THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW UP, IT JUST FELL INTO THE DOOR. TODAY, THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW. SEE THIS ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON MULTIPLE FORUM/MESSAGE BOARDS. IS ANYONE GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? *NM

THE DRIVER SEAT SUPPORTER SUDDENLY BROKE ON THE DRIVE. THIS HAPPENED I KNOW IN VARIOUS VEHICLES OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SE 2004. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, 4.0 LITER, SUV. SINCE APPROXIMATELY AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, THE ENGINE HAS MISFIRED ELEVEN (11) TIMES. EACH TIME THERE IS A MISFIRE, THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE POWER LOSS, AND LOSS OF SPEED, ALMOST LIKE AN EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATION. ONE EVENT, ON 8/15/05, WHEN TRAVELING ON I-66 NEAR FAIRFAX, VA TWO CYLINDERS, NOS. 1 AND 4 MISFIRED AT THE SAME TIME. THE RESULT WAS AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER DURING ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF SPEED FROM APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH (RATE OF TRAFFIC AT 3 PM RUSH HOUR) TO APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH WITHIN 50 YARDS. THIS INCIDENT NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, BECAUSE OTHER VEHICLES HAD TO BRAKE AND SWERVE TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH MINE. THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND CONTINUE AT A SLOWER RATE OF SPEED, UNTIL I COULD MOVE TO THE RIGHT AND STOP IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF, THE VEHICLE WILL RUN NORMALLY WHEN RESTARTED. AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, IT HAS MISFIRED 11 TIMES, AND BY STOPPING THE ENGINE, THEN RESTARTING IT, NORMAL OPERATING CAN RESUME. CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR THE DEFECT, AFTER HAVING TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP ON NINE OR TEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, TESTED THE ENGINE FOR CARBON DEPOSIT BUILD-UP ON THE VALVE STEMS, AND REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR THAT THE COMPUTER USES TO FIRE THE ENGINE. NOW, THE MANUFACTURER HAS SAID IT MAY BE THE COMPUTER MODULE, IT MAY BE THE COIL PACK, OR THE ENGINE MAY NEED TO BE DISASSEMBLED TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY CARBON BUILD-UP ON THE VALVE STEMS. THIS CONDITION MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE, NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, AND IF IT WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. MAYBE NHTSA CAN LIGHT A FIRE UNDER THEIR CREATIVE MINDS TO COME UP WITH A POSITIVE SOLUTION. I HAVE 63,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, AND THE WHOLE SERIES OF INCIDENTS BEGAN WHEN THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000 MILES ON IT. *JB

I HAVE BEEN HAVING BRAKE VIBRATING PROBLEMS SINCE 12,000 MILES ON MY 2004 JEEP. IT HAS GOTTEN SUBSTANTIALLY WORSE, NOW AT 18,000 MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP CORPORATE AND THEY WERE OF NO HELP. THE 3 TIMES I BROUGHT MY JEEP IN FOR REPAIR, ALL THEY DID WAS "RE-SURFACE" THE BRAKE PADS ONCE BECAUSE THEY WERE "WARPED." THEY COULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE RESURFACING OR THE DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE MY JEEP WAS OVER 12,000 MILES. ACCORDING TO THE NHSTA WEBSITE, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF JEEP CUSTOMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 38,000 MILES. THE OTHER DAY I WAS ROLLING UP THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WHEN I HEARD A POP AND NOTICED THAT THE WINDOW WAS SINKING INTO THE DOOR. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AS YOU CAN FIND ALL SORTS OF MENTION OF IT IN THE FORUMS ONLINE. 320 - 390.00 TO FIX AS WELL. *JB

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. STARTING IN APRIL OF 2004 I HAD TO HAVE MY ROTORS TURNED AFTER LESS THAN 12,000 MILES AFTER HITTING A PATCH OF ICE AND MY ANTI-LOCK BREAKS KICKED IN. IT WAS A DOWNWARD SPIRAL FROM THERE. THE ROTORS WOULD NEED TO BE TURNED JUST SHY OF 3,000 MILES FROM THE PREVIOUS "CORRECTION" AFTER THE 3RD TIME OF HAVING TO BE TURNED THE ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PERSONALLY CONTACTED DAMLIER-CHRYSLER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT MY PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS. THEY HAD THE NERVE TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS THE WAY I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND THAT I SHOULDN'T BE SO ROUGH. I AM A SAFE DRIVER WHO HAS NEVER BEEN IN A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT OR RECEIVED A TICKET AND DO NOT FEEL THAT THE "CUSTOMER SERVICE" GENTLEMAN HAD A RIGHT TO EVEN SUGGEST OTHERWISE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A BRAND NEW CAR (I HAVE HAD 3) THAT HAS GIVEN ME MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTORS. I HAVE ALSO NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ROTORS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. I COMPLAINED TO MY DEALER EVERY TIME I WAS IN FOR THE REPAIRS AND I LEARNED THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. JEEP WAS OFFERING A "BETTER" BREAKING SYSTEM THAT WOULD "FIX" THE PROBLEM THAT WOULD RUN ME ABOUT $350-$400 PLUS THE COST OF INSTALLATION. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL INJURIES. I AM VERY UPSET IN THE MONEY I HAVE HAD TO INVEST IN A BREAKING SYSTEM FOR A BRAND NEW CAR THAT HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER FELT THAT THE PROBLEM HAD STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND HAD ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED ON AUGUST OF 2004. WHEN THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES HE COULD FEEL THE VEHICLE SHAKE. THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BRAKE ROTORS. THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE THE WHEELS WERE OUT OF LINE. THE CONSUMER TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THEY CLEANED THE ROTORS AND PADS. THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. *AK

BRAKE ROTORS REPLACEMENT & RESURFACING TO ELIMINATE VIBRATION AND SHAKING WHEN BRAKING NECESSARY TO REPAIR ANYWHERE FROM EVERY 5000 MILES TO 9500 MILES. *NM

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED DOWN AN OPEN HIGHWAY (NO TREES, NO CARS AROUND, ETC.) AT ABOUT 65 MPH, AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT, EXTREMELY LOUD. FORTUNATELY, WE DID NOT HAVE THE INTERIOR ROOF OPEN, AND THE GLASS THAT SHATTERED DID NOT GET INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WE EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR OF OUR SUNROOF WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY SINCE THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE. WE NOTICED ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE (VIA ANOTHER COMPLAINT) THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE TO SOMEONE ELSE, AND THE SCENARIO IS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME -- SAME VEHICLE, SAME YEAR. THE OTHER COMPLAINT SHOWN ON THIS SITE WAS LOGGED FEBRUARY 2005.*JB

I AM HAVING ABS BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK. I OWNED A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR 3 YEARS AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE CALIPERS AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED 4 TIMES AND THE TRUCK HAD LESS THEN 30,000 MILES. MY BRAKE PADS WERE ALWAYS FINE. I TRADED THE TRUCK IN EARLY FOR A 2004 MODEL. THE SALES MAN ASSURED ME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. AFTER A YEAR, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, THE ROTORS AND CALIPERS HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, AND THE PADS WERE FINE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE ABS IS THE PROBLEM, AS WHEN YOU STEP ON THE BRAKES, IT ACTIVATES AND HEATS UP THE ROTORS AND DAMAGES THE CALIPERS BECAUSE THE ABS BRAKES DO NOT RELEASE IN TIME TO COOL OFF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. CHRYSLER REPLACED EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER 13,000 MILES, BUT WILL NOT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO PAY FOR A SYSTEM FAILURE? I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL ALL MODELS WITH THIS BRAKING FAILURE AND FIX IT. THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *JB

I OWN A 2004 JEEPGRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, ON JULY 13 APROX MY WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FELL DOWN AND THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AT COST OF $391. AGAIN ON APROX JULY 22 THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW FELL DOWN-SAME THING THE REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, AGAIN $391. I HAVE THE 2ND BROKEN REGULATOR. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO BE OPEN TO 100+DEGREE HEAT AND VANDALIS AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO SECURE IT WITH OUT A WINDOW.I WROTE TO JEEP MANUFACTURER TO NO AVAIL.

DT: JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AT FIRST, WHEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. AT 14,700 MILES AND ON 6/1/04 THE MECHANIC DETERMINED IT WAS ONLY THE ABS BRAKES, AND DIDN'T RECORD IT. AT 20,000 MILES AND ON 12/1 2004 THE SHAKING BECAME WORSE AND THEY REPLACED THE REAR ROTORS AND TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS AT NO COST. CURRENTLY, THE SHAKING WAS BAD AGAIN, AND THE ROTORS WERE TOO THIN TO TURN. HOWEVER, ALL 4 ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE ROTORS BUT TO NEVER BRING IT BACK TO THEM AGAIN FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE BRAKE PADS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE WERE GOOD. *AK

DT: THE CONSUMER NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AT 22,000. THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND THE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. *JB

EVENTS : VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. CONSEQUENCES : BEGINING OF LOSS OF CONTROL PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE.. THIS IS A NEW CAR WITH 6000 MILES. ROTORS REPLACED BECAUSE OF WARPAGE AT 6000 MILES. DEALER SAID THERE IS NO CURE FOR THIS PROBLEM EXCEPT TO PUT NEW ROTORS ON EVERY 6000 TO 10000 MILES. YOU ONLY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM WHEN IT TOO LATE AND THE VIBRATION BEGINS. THERE WERE ALSO TWO OTHER PEOPLE AT THE DEALER WHEN I WAS THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS REPLACED HIS ROTORS 4 TIMES IN 34,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 1999-2004. WITHOUT CONTROL OF YOUR BRAKES YOU HAVE NO CONTROL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS IN JEEP GRAND CHEORKEE'S.

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES.*MR THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH OR HIGHER. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER THREE TIMES IN 20000 MILES. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE UNDER WARRANTY AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. AFTER THE THIRD BRAKE REPAIR THE CONSUMER HAD NO FAITH IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE CONSUMER CONSIDER PURCHASING A NEW 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THE NEW JEEP HAD A NEW BRAKE DESIGN WITH IMPROVED CALIPERS. THE CONSUMER TRADED IN HIS 2000 CHEROKEE FOR A 2004 CHEROKEE (IJ4GW48S44C172654, PURCHASED JULY 14, 2003). AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE 10694 ON JULY 15, 2004 THE CONSUMER HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR HIGH SPEED SHUDDER AND VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ONE OTHER TIME ON JUNE 2, 2005 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED DUE TO HEAT STRESS. *NM

THERE WAS A POP/CREAK/CLUNK IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT IN THE DRIVE POSITION. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO DEALER & WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS "UNSAFE TO DRIVE" BECAUSE A PIECE OF THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. DEALER HAD TO ORDER THE PART & CAR HAD TO STAY OVERNIGHT. CAR IS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD WITH 4,000 MILES ON IT.

13 MONTHS AND A LITTLE OVER 13,000 MILES AFTER LEASING MY BRAND NEW 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY EVERY TIME I'D I HIT THE BRAKES. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ROTORS WERE DEFECTIVE, AFTER A LONG DISCUSSION AND MANY BACK AND FORTH THE SVCE. MANAGER AT THE DEALER DECIDED TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS AT NO COST TO ME. NOW 10 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM RETURNED. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THIS TIME THEY TELL ME THE ROTORS ARE DAMAGED AGAIN, BUT I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH TOTAL COST IS OVER $300. NOW AT 26,624 MILES, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, WHAT'S GOING ON? AFTER A FRIEND OF MINE SEARCH THE WEB, SHE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM MANY 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED. IS THIS A FACTORY DEFECT? EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT. CAN ROTORS GET DAMAGED IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I LEASED A JEEP, I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY 2000 JEEP. IS ANYTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS?

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE - ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AT 20,000 MILES OF NORMAL DRIVING (NO TRAILER, ETC.). DEALER MACHINED THE ROTORS. SUSPECT WARPING WILL OCCUR AGAIN IN LESS THAN 20,000 MILES AS LESS METAL ON ROTORS NOW. DEALER MEASURED BRAKE PADS AT 60% REAR AND 50% FRONT, SO THOSE COMPONENTS SEEM OK. THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURE OF THE BRAKES THAT CAUSES WARPING. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENT.

DT: CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A BRAKING PROBLEM, WARPED FRONT/REAR ROTORS. CONSUMER THE PROBLEM FIXED TODAY. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE PEDAL PULSED AND LOST BRAKE POWER WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. CONSUMER SAID VEHICLE DID NOT PULL TRAILERS, MAKE JACK RABBIT STOPS, OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE SUCH A PROBLEM. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED REGULARLY BY THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED. THE ROTORS WERE TURNED INSTEAD OF BEING REPLACED. O CONSUMER EXPECTED THIS PROBLEM TO RECUR, AND FELT THAT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *AK

DT: CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT THE BELT WILL NOT STAY IN THE CHILD'S SAFETY SEAT. THE HARNESS THAT KEEPS THE CHILD IN THE SEAT WILL NOT STAY IN THE SEAT. IT DISCONNECTS FROM THE SEAT AT TIMES. HAD TO RIG UP THE HARNESS SO THAT CHILD WILL STAY IN THE CAR SEAT. ALSO, HANDLE DOES NOT LOCK. WHILE PUTTING CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT IT DUMPED HIM OUT OF THE CAR SEAT TWICE. HE SUSTAINED INJURIES, HITTING HIS FACE AND HEAD. CONSUMER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY DID NOT FIX THIS CAR SEAT. *AK

DT: WHEN THE CAR IS GOING VERY SLOW AND CONSUMER APPLIES THE BRAKES THE CAR ACCELERATES FORWARD. THIS INCIDENT DID RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.*AK *SB *NM

BRAKES DEVELOPED VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. I AM SUSPECTING WARPED ROTORS WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AT 34000 MILES.

DRIVING AT 65 MPH I CAME UPON AN ACCIDENT AND HAD TO BRAKE RAPIDLY. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND WENT INTO AN UNCONTROBLE SPIN AND ENDED UP FACING ONCOMMING TRAFIC IN THE OPPOSING LANE. TOOK THE CAR 2004 JEEP GC TO THE DEALER TO CHECK OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED THE DEALER SAID THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND HAD BE REPLACED AND WAS NOT UNDER WARRENTEE HE ALSO STATEDTHEY GET 40 OR MORE JGC IN FOR BRAKE WORK A MONTH.AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE? ??

DT: THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS, AND BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE CHANGED EVERY 2 TO 3,000 VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERS, THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE CONSUMER RODE THE BRAKES. BUT THIS WAS FOURTH JEEP VEHICLE AND DRIVING PATTERN HAD NOT CHANGED. ONLY 12,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DETERMINED IT WAS NOT NORMAL.*AK

DT: THE BRAKES DON'T WORK PROPERLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP HIT A COUPLE BUMPS AND PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR , AND THE ABS DIDN'T COME ON . TOOK VEHICLE TO T TO DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER, BUT IS DOING THE SAME THING. IT STOPS BUT THE PEDAL STILL GOES TO THE FLOOR. *AK

I LEFT A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT AND TURNED OUT OF THE PARKING AREA TO FIND THAT MY BRAKES WERE VERY SPONGY AND IT TOOK ME ABOUT 15 FEET TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AFTER ONLY GOING 8-10 MPH. AT THE NEXT STOP SIGN MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, I COULD PUMP THEM UP BUT THEY WENT STRAIGHT TO THE GROUND AFTERWARDS. I DROVE INTO A BUSY STREET BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THEM TO STOP AND COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER CAR GOING AROUND 45 MPH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF NOR DID MY SEATBELT LOCK WHEN I STRUCK THE CAR. AT THE SCENE THE POLICE OFFICER NOTED THAT THE BREAKS PUMPED UP BUT WERE VERY SPONGY WHEN PUSHING THEM DOWN. HOWEVER, THE DEALER FINDS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BREAKING SYSTEM CURRENTLY. I AM GOING TO HAVE A CHRYSLER AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE COME AND INSPECT THE SYSTEM.

OUR 2003 MODEL YEAR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS TERRIBLE BRAKE ROTORS. THE JEEP IS USED BY MY WIFE FOR A DAILY DRIVER. WE LIVE IN OHIO IN A FAIRLY FLAT AREA. THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN TOWN 95% OF THE TIME. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THAT TIME IS ON THE SAME ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 35MPH. IT IS NOT A CONGESTED AREA THAT REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT AND OR SUDDEN BRAKING. THE ROTORS BEGAN TO WARP AROUND 5,000 MILES. THE NEXT SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE WAS AROUND 8000 MILES, AND WE HAD THEM REPLACED AT THAT POINT. THE ROTORS WARPED SEVERELY AGAIN AROUND 20,000 MILES. AT WHICH POINT THE DEALER FOOLED MY WIFE INTO PAYING THEM FOR REPLACEMENT CHRYSLER ROTORS AS THE BRAKE WARRANTY WAS NEITHER COVERED UNDER THE 3/36 BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY NOR THE 7-70 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IF I HAD NOT THOUGHT THEM TO BE UNDER WARRANTY, I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THEM WITH COMPONENTS OF SUCH SHODDY QUALITY THAT THEY WILL WARP AGAIN INSIDE OF ONE CALENDAR YEAR. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD MY WIFE THAT ROTORS SHOULD ONLY LAST 10,000 MILES. I AM AN AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICAL ENGINEER. I UINDERSTAND THAT THE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO ROTOR WARPAGE ARE ONLY HEAT AND INSTALLATION. GIVEN THE USE OF THIS VEHICLE (WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A TOW PACKAGE), EXCESSIVE HEAT CAN BE ELIMINATED. THE FAILURE MODE ELIMINATES IMPROPER INSTALLATION. POOR QUALITY MATERIAL, NOT ENOUGH MATERIAL, AND INADEQUATE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES COULD CAUSE WARPAGE WITH SIGNIFICNATLY LOWER HEAT THREASHOLD. SINCE CHRYSLER AND NOW DC HAS BEEN HAVING THE PROBLEM FOR DECADES, AND THEY HAVE CHANGED THE CALIPERS IN THE '02 MODEL YEAR, I SUGGEST THAT NHTSA PRESSURE DC TO UPGRADE THE QUALITY OF THE ROTORS. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS SHED HEAT AND TAKE THE WEAR OF THE BRAKE PADS ON THEIR SURFACE. IT IS ONE OF THE MORE SIMPLE COMPONENTS IN A VEHICLE. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THEY NOT ONLY REPLACE THE ROTORS FOR ALL GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS, BUT REPLACE THEM WITH A REPUTABLE NAME (NON DC OEM) ROTORS. THIS WOULD ALLEVIATE ALL ISSUES.

WARPED BRAKE ROTORS AT AROUND 24,000 MILES ARE CAUSING A STRONG VECHICLE SHUDDER ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHEN BRAKING. THIS COULD LEAD TO INCREASED BRAKING DISTANCE AND A LOSS OF VECHICLE CONTROL.

DT: CONSUMER HAD AN ACCIDENT TODAY. CONSUMER WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT, A CAR WAS BRAKING AHEAD AND THE CONSUMER HIT THE BRAKE. THE CONSUMERS BREAKS DID NOT RESPOND. THE TACHOMETER WAS GOING UP. CONSUMER HIT BRAKES A SECOND TIME, STILL DID NOT WORK. CONSUMER HIT OTHER VEHICLE, AND THEN VEHICLE STOPPED. PREVIOUS WARNING. TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP, MECHANIC SAID IT JUST NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. LAST FRIDAY AT ONE POINT IT SEEMED LIKE THE BRAKES DIDN'T GRAB. JEEP STATED THERE WAS A SERVICE ALERT OR RECALL.*AK IN THE PAST CONSUMER ASKED FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, WHEN THE DRIVER TRIES TO SLAM ON BRAKES INSTEAD HITS BOTH THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL BECAUSE OF IT BEING SO CLOSE TOGETHER.*SB

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THIS CAR STALLED NO LESS THAN 12 TIMES. AFRAID TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC WITH THIS CAR. POWER STEERING LEAKED, CLICKING NOISE FROM TRANSMISSION WHEN PUT INTO GEAR. *BF

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 15,000 MILES. THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 7738 MILES, AND NOW AGAIN AT 15,440 MILES. THE WARPING OF THE ROTORS MAKES THE CAR UNSTABLE AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A FEW SERIOUS ACCIDENTS, AND DID HAVE ONE COLLISION DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THESE ROTORS ARE FLIMSY AND SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A BETTER QUALITY PART

WHEN BREAKING TO COME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT, SLOWLY ROLLING AT ABOUT 5 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND LURCHED FORWARD. I HAD TO PRESS DOWN ON THE BREAK PEDAL VERY HARD TO STOP THE CAR, THE SAME TIME IT WAS ACCELERATING. THIS LASTED ABOUT 2 SECONDS, AND THEN THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM UNLESS IT DID IT AGAIN WHEN I TOOK IT IN. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN SINCE. THE AUTO IS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A V-8 ENGINE.

DT; FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND REDONE ONCE WITHIN 25,000 MILES. WHEN BRAKE PRESSURE IS APPLIED THERE IS MAJOR VIBRATION FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER CURRENT RESURFACE NO PROBLEMS AS OF NOW. *TT

I WAS PUSHED OFF THE ROAD DURING A SNOWSTORM BY A SEMI TRACTOR/TRAILER AND HIT A CEMENT BARRIER ON I480 WITH MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. UPON ESTIMATING THE DAMAGES, I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD LEFT FRONT RAIL DAMAGE THAT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. AFTER 3 WEEKS THE REPAIR FACILITY WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A REPLACEMENT RAIL FOR MY VEHICLE (THEY WERE TOLD THAT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE). ON 5/11/05 I CALLED DAIMLER-CHRYSLER MYSELF TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON, AND WHY THERE ARE NO RAILS AVAILABLE FOR A 2004 (ONE MODEL YEAR OLD) VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE 1ST PERSON I SPOKE WITH (ERIC) THAT THE REASON A RAIL COULD NOT BE FOUND IS BECAUSE THEY ARE DEFECTIVE WITH WELDING ISSUES AND BEING RECALLED. I ASKED WHY I WASN'T NOTIFIED BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND HE DIDN'T KNOW. HE TOOK DOWN ALL MY INFORMATION AND SAID THAT HE WAS SENDING MY FILE TO THEIR PARTS DEPARTMENT TO DO A WORLD WIDE SEARCH FOR A RAIL AND HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN A COUPLE DAYS. BY LATE AFTERNOON ON 5/13/05 I HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER, SO I CALLED BACK. I TOLD MY STORY TO 3 MORE PEOPLE THAT I WAS TRANSFERRED AROUND TO, AND THE LAST PERSON I SPOKE TO WAS GEOFF, HE WAS RUDE, TRIED TO INTIMIDATE ME, TELLING ME THAT I HAD NO BUSINESS CALLING THERE, I WAS DOING THE LEGWORK FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD EVERY RIGHT TO CALL AS I AM THE VEHICLE OWNER. BOTTOM LINE, THEY CAN PRODUCE A RAIL FOR MY VEHICLE AS EARLY AS JUNE 1, 2005, BUT NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL BE THAT DATE. I FEEL THAT I HAVE GOTTEN THE TOTAL RUN AROUND AND HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE A RENTAL CAR FOR 4 WEEKS NOW, BECAUSE OF DAIMLER CHRYSLER'S FAILURE TO PROVIDE PARTS FOR A 2004 MODEL YEAR VEHICLE WHICH I UNDERSTAND THEY SHOULD HAVE IN STOCK FOR A 10 YEAR PERIOD.(BY FEDERAL LAW). I AM TOTALLY FRUSTRATED BY THEIR LACK OF ASSISTANCE AND EMPATHY FOR MY SITUATION, AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I MAY HAVE AGAINST THEM OR THE GOVERNMENT FOR FAILURE TO PRODUCE A PART FOR A CAR THAT IS ONE MODEL YEAR OLD.

THE FRONT BRAKES PULSATED BECAUSE THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE DEALERSHIP RE-SURFACED THE ROTORS AND REPLACED THE BRAKE SHOES, BUT THE FAILURE HAS RECURRED. THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE WITH THESE VEHICLES , IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER ARE AWARE OF. *JB THE BRAKE PROBLEM BEGAN INITIALLY AT ABOUT 17,000 MILES AND BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. RESURFACED ROTORS AT 20,000 MILES AND THEY BEGAN EXHIBITING PROBLEMS AT ABOUT 22,500 MILES. PROBLEM IS CONTINUING TO WORSEN. *BF *NM

MY WIFE HAD A FRONT END COLLISION ON FRIDAY 5-6-05 WITH OUR 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. MY WIFE SUSTAINED A HEAD TRAUMA INJURY.

CONSUMER STATES: VEHICLE SHAKES ONLY WHEN BRAKING. ALL 4 ROTORS ARE WARPED, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLES SHAKES MORE SO AT 45 MPH OR MORE. SHAKES MORE VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING FROM THAT SPEED. NO INDICATION OF FOR WARNING UNTIL VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WHILE BRAKING. DIAMLER CHRYSLER WILL REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS, BUT NOT THE BACK ROTORS, AND REFUSED TO GIVE INFORMATION AS ONE WHY THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE FRONT, AND NOT THE BACK, AND REFUSE TO GIVE INFORMATION REGARDING DEFFECT OF ROTORS.*AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION, WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN CONTACTED BY OWNER.*AK

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON 3RD SET OF FRONT ROTORS AT 18,869 MILES. REAR ROTORS IDENTIFIED WITH SAME PROBLEM AND JEEP WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. MULTIPLE COMMUNICATIONS WITH JEEP HAVE FAILED TO RESOLVE ISSUE. HOWEVER, WHEN WE EMAILED JEEP TO INQUIRE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT ROTORS WERE UPGRADED ON 2005 MODEL TO FIX BRAKE ROTOR PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED ON 1999-2004 MODEL WE WERE INFORMED THAT "YES WE DID UPDATE THE ROTORS ON THE 2005 MODEL GRAND CHEROKEE AND CHANGED THE VENDOR FOR THE ROTORS." THIS, I BELIEVE, INDICATED THAT THEY IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM WHICH REQUIRED THEM TO NOT ONLY UPDATE THE ROTORS BUT IT WAS ALSO SEVERE ENOUGH TO CHANGE VENDORS. I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD UPGRADE OUR FRONT AND REAR ROTORS TO EITHER THE 2005 MODEL ROTOR (IF APPROPRIATE) OR UPGRADE TO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ROTOR WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A HISTORY OF WARPING REQUIRING REPLACEMENT.

BRAKE PROBLEMS, SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *AK

INCIDENT 1, ON SATURDAY FEBRUARY 5, 2005 WHILE MANEUVERING INTO A SPACE IN A PARKING LOT I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SUDDENLY THE CAR, 2004, JEEP, GRAND CHEROKEE LURCHED BACKWARD. I PRESSED MORE FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAR JERKED. THEN, THE ENGINE REVVED HIGHER, CAUSING THE CAR TO HURTLE TOWARD CARS IN THE ROW BEHIND. ONLY BY STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL DID THE VEHICLE STOP, BUT JUST INCHES FROM A CAR BEHIND US. DEALER'S MECHANIC SUBSEQUENTLY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG ,AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE EVENT. INCIDENT 2 OCCURRED ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 20, 2005. WHILE BRAKING GENTLY WHEN APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED REVVING QUICKLY. I BRAKED HARDER, BUT THE ENGINE REVVED HIGHER, OVERCOMING THE BRAKING EFFORT I AGAIN STOOD ON THE BRAKE, BRINGING THE CAR TO A HALT ONLY A FEW FEET FROM A CAR WAITING AT THE LIGHT. EXAMINATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AT THIS TIME SHOWED THAT MY FOOT WAS ONLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND NOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THAT NOTHING WAS PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.*AK

AFTER ONLY 11 MONTHS AND APPROXIMATELY 7,200 MILES CAR BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DURING BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL HAD SEVERE PULSATION, STEERING WHEEL SHOOK HARDER, AND CAR SHOOK DURING ALL BRAKING CONDITIONS. DEALER REPLACED FRONT ROTORS. AFTER 18 MONTHS AND 12,000 MILES, BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN PULSATING, AND STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING DURING BRAKING CONDITIONS. DEALER REPLACED FRONT ROTORS AGAIN! THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE ROTORS ARE NO LONGER COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER UNDER WARRANTY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE LACK OF ATTENTION BY THE MANUFACTURER TOWARDS RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. IF THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER, THEN AM I EXPECTED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN WITHIN 3,000 TO 5,000 MILES FROM NOW? AND THEN WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST? ME...THE CONSUMER!!!!! THE MANUFACTURERS OF ALL VEHICLES HAVE THE RESPONSIBILTY TO PROVIDE A QUALITY BRAKING SYSTEM IN ALL VEHICLES THAT SHOULD WORK CORRECTLY AND WITHOUT PROBLEMS.*AK

SOON AFTER STARTUP, MOVING SLOWLY FORWARD OR IN REVERSE , AS WHEN ENTERING A ROADWAY OR BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE, AND AFTER REMOVING FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR WHILE BRAKING VEHICLE RESISTS THIS ACTION AND THE ENGINE RPMS SPEEDS UP TO 1300 RPMS +. VERY HIGH BRAKING FORCE WAS REQUIRED TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 5 INSTANCES OF THIS. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS UNABLE TO OFFER ANY PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION OR HELP, ALTHOUGH HE PUT A RECORDING INSTRUMENT ON THE CAR FOR A WHILE. MY PASSENGER HAS WITNESSED THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT THREATENING SITUATION IN AT LEAST TWO INSTANCES. VEHICLE CANNOT BE TRUSTED. *AK

ON APRIL 6, 2005 AT APROX. 6:50 A.M. A CAR HIT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2004 SPECIAL EDITION IN THE FRONT, REAR LEFT SIDE AND BACK SIDE PART OF THE CAR. THE DRIVER HIT WITH HER CHEST THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DRIVER SEAT BELT DO NOT HOLD HER, SO SHE IMPACT THE STEERING WHEEL. *AK

ON APRIL 6, 2005 AT APROX. 6:50 A.M. A CAR HIT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2004 SPECIAL EDITION IN THE FRONT, REAR LEFT SIDE AND BACK SIDE PART OF THE CAR. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOYED.

I LEASED A 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE IN MARCH OF 2004 AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER I HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT ROTORS REPLACED DUE TO WARPING. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 7984 MILES ON IT. MY MOTHER BOUGHT THE SAME YEAR MODEL AND HER IS AT 16000 MILES AND HER FRONT ROTORS ARE WARPED. I OWNED A 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE PRIOR TO THE ONE I HAVE NOW AND TRADED IT IN BECAUSE IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW 2004 MODEL HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT THE BRAKES WERE STILL COVERD BY WARRANTY BUT MY MOTHER ISN'T, I AM BEYOND ANGRY WITH JEEP. DO NOT BUY A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE!!!! ALMOST EVERY PERSON I KNOW WITH A GRAND BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 1999-2004 HAVE HAD THEIR ROTORS WARP EVERY YEAR AND JEEP REFUSES TO FIX THE FLAW OR REPLACE THE BRAKES WHEN THEY WARP PREMATURELY. I AM HEARTBROKEN BECAUSE I LOVE HOW THEY LOOK AND RIDE BUT BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE PROBLEMS I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER.*AK

WHILE PARKING/RUNNING ON SLIGHT INCLINE VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF PARK GEAR INTO REVERSE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE CAR SHAKES A LOT WHEN I BRAKE. I WAS TOLD THAT BRAKE DISKS ARE WARPED AND PADS ARE 50% WARNED OUT AT 13000 MILES. DEALER AND THE CAMPONY DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY ALTHOUGH DISCS SHOULD LAST FOR ABOUT 60000-80000 MILES.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND FAILED TO STOP COMPLETELY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION NUMEROUS TIMES, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED THEM THREE TIMES. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

VEHICLE SHOOK WHILE DRIVING, AND A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS/ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

1 MONTH AFTER BUYING MY JEEP IT DIED OUT AT A STOPLIGHT.DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH CAR. A MONTH AFTER GETTING IT BACK, IT DIED 2 MORE TIMES AT STOPLIGHTS.I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOW WAITING FOR THE NEW COMPUTER WHICH WILL TAKE A WEEK TO GET HERE. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT I'VE SEEN MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON THIS SITE. *AK

THE CONSUMER IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH STALLING. THE CONSUMER WOULD BE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND STALLS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, THE CONSUMER HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED ON THE THIRD REPAIR ATTEMPT. *SC *JB

WHILLE BACKING INTO A SERVICE BAY THE ACCELERATOR STUCK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, NEARLY HITTING A SERVICE ATTENDENT. MY HUSBAND HAD TO APPLY BOTH FEET TO HALT THE VEHICLE, WHILE BOTH BACK TIRES SMOKED.*AK

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING HITTING A WALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE CAUSE WAS NOT DETERMINED PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION COMING OFF A CAR WASH LINE. WHEN THE CAR WASH ATTENDANT TURNED ON THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE TOO OFF BY ITSELF AFTER A HUGE POWER SURGE AND CHARGED OUT OF THE CAR WASH HITTING A FIRE HYDRANT AND DRAGGING IT ACROSS FIVE LANES OF TRAFFIC, THROUGH ANOTHER PARKING LOT AND HITTING TWO PARKED CARS AND STOPPING BY HITTING A BRICK WALL. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE ENTIRE TIME BUT IT DID NO GOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING 40 MPH UNTIL THE FINAL CRASH. *TC

RECEIVED 2ND DEGREE BURNS FROM MY CHRYSLER GRAND CHEROKKE LIMITED CAR SEAT. CHRYSLER NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT MY BUSINESS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SEAT THAT IT IS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION FOR CHRYSLER ONLY.*AK

ONCE BEFORE THE JEEP SEEMED TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY. TODAY AS I WAS MANEUVERING TO ENTER MY GARAGE THE CAR LEAPED OUT OF CONTROL. I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE ACCELERATOR HAD STUCK, IF THE BRAKE HAD FAILED TO WORK, OR IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM AS I CHANGED GEARS TO MANEUVER. I THREW THE CAR INTO ANOTHER GEAR AND THAT STOPPED THE PROBLEM. IT WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING. THIS IS MY THIRD JEEP IN A ROW. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THEM (AND ONLY THEM ) SINCE 1992. I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH THEM. I AM CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK THAT THEY EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG. PS-THE COMPUTER WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SUBMIT THIS REPORT UNLESS I SAY THAT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS A "SCRAMBLER" OR A "WRANGLER", SO I HAVE TO SAY IT IS ONE OR THE OTHER ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT! *JB

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT WALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. BUT, MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ONE MONTH LATER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED, AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. AGAIN, MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

BRAKES AND BRAKE PEDAL SHAKE CRAZILY WHEN APPLIED. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 12,000 MILES. I HEARD OF A CIVIL SUIT THAT IS BEING FILED IN MISSOURI/KANSAS AND HAVE BEEN WAITING TO REPAIR TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. *NM

VEHICLE NOT WORKING. *AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. THE ROTORS WERE THIN, AND PREMATUREKY WORE OUT. OWNER CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES WERE NOTCOVERED BY THE WARRANTY. *AK

2004 GRAND CHEROKEE JEEP, BRAKE FAILURE. *BF LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A VIBRATION AND PULSATION WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. *JB

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND IDLING. THE RPMS SUDDENLY REVVED UP, THEN WENT BACK DOWN, FOLLOWED BY SUDDEN ACCELERATION. WHEN THIS OCCURRED EXCESSIVE FORCE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. THIS RESULTED IN CONSUMER'S VEHICLE ALMOST RUNNING A RED LIGHT AND HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. DEALERSHIP HAD DONE SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.*AK

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. BRAKING PROBLEMS WITH ROTORS. I HAD TO BRING IT IN AT 9,000 MILES DUE TO PULSATION WHEN APPLING BRAKES, TO WHICH THEY TURNED THEM. 14,000 MILES LATER THEY ARE TELLING ME MY BRAKES ARE WAARPED , WHICH IN TURN THEY DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE. TELLING ME MY WARRANTY WAS UP. I DID CALL CHRYSLER AND THEY DID REPLACE. BUT I WAS TOLD IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, I WILL HAVE TO PAY MYSELF. I ALSO BROUGHT THE CAR IN BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE STICKING WHICH THEY INSIST THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. *JB

THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHILE HIS FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE WHICH CAUSED HIM TO IMPACT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT, TWICE. *BF *SC

WHILE DRIVING A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON I495N GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WITH THE SUN ROOF FULLY CLOSED, THE SUN ROOF GLASS EXPLODED, SHOWERING GLASS THROUGHOUT THE CAR. INITIALLY I THOUGHT SOMEONE THREW A ROCK AND STRUCK THE WINDOW, BUT WE WERE NOT NEAR AN OVERPASS, NOR WERE TRUCKS OR OTHER CARS CLOSS ENOUGH TO TOSS A ROCK UP IN ORDER TO HIT THE MOONROOF GLASS. A ROCK WAS NOT FOUND IN THE CAR UPON INSPECTION. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER SAID THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN A ROCK THAT HIT THE WINDOW AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I THINK THE WINDOW JUST FAILED FROM EITHER STRESS OR FROM A MANUFACTURING DEFECT...BUT HOW DO I PROVE IT?*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT BRAKE PROBLEMS. WHEN TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER TO BE SERVICED THEY HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS.*AK

CAR/ENGINE IDLES ROUGH AND SHAKES HEAVILY AT TIMES AT LIGHTS - THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER DOESN?T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT. GAS MPG HAS ALSO BEEN POOR. *AK I SEE THAT I AM THE FIFTH COMPLAINT IN THE DATABASE THAT I COULD FIND...THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER COMING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IDLE GOES FROM 600 RPM AND THEN SUDDENLY DROPS BELOW 400-300 RPM AND THEN STALLS COMPLETELY. MUST BE PUT IN PARK - AND THEN RESTARTED, REGARDLESS OF WHERE IT OCCURS - THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED TOO MANY TIMES. ONCE THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, BY CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY - THE NEXT TIME THEY GAVE ME THE "CAN'T DUPLICATE CONCERN" - THE LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE A/C, RADIO, ELECTRICAL (LIGHTING), AND DEFROST SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHEN ALL OF THESE ARE OFF. THE DEALERS KEEP PLAYING GAMES AND WILL NOT RECTIFY THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE SHOOK AND STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IT WAS COMING TO A STOP. TOOK VEHICLE DEALER FOR TESTING 10 TIMES, BUT THE CAUSE WAS STILL UNDETERMINED.*AK

CONSUMER CONCERNED ABOUT DESIGN PROBLEM WITH POTENTIAL WIRE HARNESS FAILURE AND POSSIBLE FIRE, 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. *BF THE PROBLEMS INVOLVED MISLEADING /INCORRECT MARKING ON THE 12 VOLT ACCESSORY POWER OUTLETS. THE OUTLETS WERE MARKED AS BEING ABLE TO HANDLE 20 AMPS. AFTER PLUGGING IN A RADIO WHICH NORMALLY DREW 7 AMPS, THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE RADIO WOULD NOT FUNCTION IN THE TRANSMIT MODE. WHEN TRYING TO TRANSMIT, THE VOLTAGE AT THE REAR VEHICLE'S REAR POWER OUTLET, IT DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 8 VOLTS. THE CONSUMER STATED IF AN OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WAS TO PLUG ANYTHING INTO THE VEHICLE POWER OUTLETS THAT DREW MORE THAT 5 AMPS OF CURRENT THERE WAS A GOOD CHANCE THAT OVERHEATING AND BURNING THE WIRES WOULD OCCUR. *JB

WHEN BRAKING CONSUMER HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT/REAR BRAKES. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. *TC

THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE LEAKING, AND THE DEALERS CANNOT DETERMINE WHERE THE WATER IS COMING FROM AFTER CHECKING THE HEATER AND THE AIR CONDITIONER . THE SEALS AND SHOCKS WERE REPLACED. *NM

NOISE IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHILE SITTING IDLE OR AT A STOP SIGN AS A RESULT OF A FAULTY MUFFLER/EXHAUST SYSTEM. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO DEALERSHIP WHO NOTIFIED CHRYSLER OF THE PROBLEM. THEIR SOLUTION WAS A PIECE OF BARB WELDED TO THE MUFFLER. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. DEALER HAD ENGINEER COME IN TO LOOK AT REPAIR. ENGINEER SAID IT WAS GOOD AND THE NOISE WAS "ACCEPTABLE" BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY SITTING IDLE FOR 3% OF THE TIME ON THE ROAD. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE AND SAID IT WAS CHRYSLERS CALL AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO. TOOK CAR TO MUFFLER SHOP WHERE THEY IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED PROBLEM WITH EXISTING MUFFLER. *NM

CONSUMER STATES, "AFTER DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL A FEW TIMES THE BRAKE PRESSURE RETURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE WHOLE BRAKING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL ROTORS, PADS, AND CALIPERS. *JB

I DROVE INTO MY DRIVEWAY A SHORT DISTANCE AND PUT THE JEEP INTO PARK. I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP WALKED BEHIND IT TO GO GET THE MAIL, BEFORE I REACHED THE MAILBOX I NOTICED THAT THE JEEP HAD STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. IT ROLLED ACROSS THE ROAD, DOWN INTO A VERY LARGE DITCH AND HIT A TREE. I RAN AFTER IT TO TRY AND STOP IT BUT I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I HAD JUST BEGUN TO PUSH THE BRAKE AS THE BACK TIRE WENT INTO THE DITCH. THE FORCE OF THE JEEP GOING DOWN THE DITCH KNOCKED ME ON MY BACK AND MY FOOT GOT CAUGHT IN THE DOOR SO I WAS DRAGGED DOWN THE DITCH WITH THE JEEP. LUCKILY I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY SERIOUS INJURY JUST SORE AND SHOOK UP BUT THE JEEP HAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE REAR END. *JB

SHE TURNED TO SEE THE JEEP ROLLING BACKWARDS ACROSS THE PARKING LOT. MY WIFE ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE JEEP BUT WAS KNOCKED TO THE GROUND. THE JEEP CONTINUED BACKWARD UNTIL IT HIT A FENCE AND A SIGN POLE. DAMAGE TO THE JEEP INCLUDES THE DRIVERS DOOR AND HINGES, SCRATCHES TO THE PAINT ON THE REAR DOOR, BUMPER AND MOST OF THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND A BROKEN TAIL LIGHT COVER. I TALKED WITH THE DEALER(POMOCO CHRYSLER, JEEP IN HAMPTON) AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BUT CHECK OUT THE TRANSMISSION ONCE THE JEEP WAS DRIVABLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SENT A MESSAGE TO THE FACTORY SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHO RESPONDED THE SAME AS THE DEALER. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT I NEEDED TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO START A CLAIM.*AK

WE PURCHASED A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE END OF JUNE 2004. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MILES AT PURCHASE. THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASE THE CAR CUT OFF ON MY HUSBAND AND WAS DIFFICULT TO START. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THEY COULD NOT LOOK AT THE CAR BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. WHILE ON VACATION 1 1/2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE OUR CAR SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN MARYLAND. THAT DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. NO INCIDENTS OCCURRED FOR 1 1/2 WEEKS. THEN UPON OUR RETURN TO SOUTH CAROLINA THE RPM OF OUR CAR WOULD SUDDENLY DROP TO 500 WHILE IDLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR AT A STOP. THE RPM'S WOULD ALSO SUDDENLY DROP TO 0 AND THE CAR WOULD CUT OFF WHILE IDLING. FROM THE MIDDLE OF JULY UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST THE CAR WAS LOOKED AT APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES. THE SKIM MODULE AND WIRING HARNESS WERE BOTH REPLACED IN THE CAR. AFTER THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED THE CAR CEASED TO HAVE PROBLEMS FOR 3000 MILES. THEN ON DECEMBER 4TH THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE RPM'S HAVE NOW STARTED TO ONCE AGAIN DROP DOWN TO BELOW 500 AND OCCASIONALLY THEY GO UP AND DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT EVEN MOVING. A CO-PILOT SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED TO RECORD ANY ERRORS IN THE CAR AND NO CODES OR MISFIRES WERE CAPTURED FROM THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE CAR AND CHRYSLER INFORMED US THAT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE OUR CAR EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS CONDITION CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. *JB

AS THE CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THEY HAD BECOME HARD AND DID NOT OPERATE. THE VEHICLE THEN ROLLED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. *SC

STEERING NOISE WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL JUST A LITTLE TO EITHER SIDE. DEALER IS ORDERING "A PART" HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK FOR IT TO COME IN. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 1100 MILES. *JB

WARPING OF FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. IT OCCURRED AT 16000 MILES AND THE ROTERS WERE GROUND. IT IS NOW STARTING AGAIN AT 25000 MILES. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MAN THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2004 JEEPS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING HEAD RESTRAINT DOES NOT PROTECT CONSUMER'S HEAD. CONSUMER IS VERY CONCERNED WITH BEING REAR ENDED. *AK THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT THE HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE SET TOO FAR BACK TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT THE PASSENGER'S NECK IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. *NM

WHEN TRAVELING 55 MPH UP A STEEP HILL, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHIFTS TO 2ND GEAR CAUSING AN UNACCEPTABLE TORQUE ON THE DRIVER AND PERSONS IN THE CAR. RPM'S GO FROM APPROX. 1800RPM TO 5000RPM INSTANTANEOUSLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 55 MPH AND ALSO AT 55 MPH WITHOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL. *JB

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE IN A 2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND REAR ENDED BY A TOYOTA CELICA TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH ACCORDING TO THE POLICE STATEMENT. OUR JEEP THEN HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US (IT WAS A FOUR CAR CHAIN REACTION COLLISION). THE DRIVERS AND FRONT PASSENGER SEATS RECLINED ON IMPACT. HAD OUR GRANDSON BEEN IN HIS CHILD SAFETY SEAT, HIS LEGS WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED, IF NOT WORSE. FURTHER, THE SHOULDER RESTRAINT DID NOT HOLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, RESULTING IN MY HEAD SMASHING INTO THE DASHBOARD. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL IMPACT AT 30 MPH DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 25-30 MPH. UPON IMPACT, NEITHER FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. NO INJURY WAS REPORTED. DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED.*AK

THE GAS PEDAL OVER TOOK BRAKE ON 2 OCCASIONS, ONE TIME WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT. REPLACE BAD FRONT BRAKES. *BF THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND CHANGED THE BAD FRONT BRAKES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RETURNED SINCE. *SC

WHEN DRIVING SPEEDOMETER READ THE VEHICLE'S SPEED WRONGLY. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 20, 2004, MATTHEW BELLER SUFFERED SEVERE BURNS FROM A SEAT HEATER IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. HE IS A PARAPELGIC AND DID NOT FEEL THE BURN OCCURING. THE SEAT HEATER DID NOT TURN OFF AFTER REACHING NORMAL TEMPERATURES. A PRODUCT LIABILITY ACTION IS BEING BOUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF OREGON.

VEHICLE ACCELERATED FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE RPMS RACED TO A HIGH RATE, AND VEHICLE HIT A TREE. CONSUMER SUSTAINED INJURIES. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN TRAVELING IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 55-60 MPH AND ENCOUNTERING A HILL THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL RAPIDLY DOWNSHIFT A COUPLE OF GEARS. THIS RESULTS IN THE ENGINE RPM GOING FROM ABOUT 1800 TO 5000 RPM VERY SUDDENLY. THIS IS THE SAME RESULT AS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THIS OCCURRED ON A CURVE AND RESULTED IN A MOMEMTARY LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. FORTUNATELY AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERS WHO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE IT WAS A DESIGN/ PROGRAMMING PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS. *AK

WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 60 MPH AND TRAVELING UPHILL THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWN SHIFTED FROM OVER DRIVE INTO 2ND GEAR CAUSING A VIOLENT LUNGE FORWARD (APPROX 2000 RPM TO 5000 RPM). THIS RPM CHANGE WAS SO VIOLENT THAT LOST OF VEHICLE CONTROL HAPPENED MOMENTARILY. *JB

CONSUMER STATES THAT HE PURCHASED HIS VEHICLE IN 2003, SOON IN APRIL 29, 2004 HE HAD TO TAKE HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF BRAND NEW ROTORS. THE MECHANIC TOLD HIM THAT HIS BRAKES WERE WARPED. THIS WAS AT 7074 MILES. THEN ON 10/27/04 HE TOOK HIS VEHICLE IN AGAIN FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS, AGAIN HE WAS TOLD THAT HE NEEDED NEW ROTORS AND THAT THEY WERE WARPED.*JB

VEHICLE SHAKES AND VIBRATES WITHOUT CONTROL WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT HONOR IT BECAUSE THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. SAID IT WAS OVER 12,000 MILES. I HAD THE ROTORS TURNED TWICE NOW AND THEY ARE STILL WARPED PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN. I GUESS NEW ROTORS WILL NEED TO BE PURCHASED. CHRYSLER SHOULD OWN UP TO THEIR PROBLEMS. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM EVER WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED UNTIL JEEP. NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD YET.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS VEHICLE SHIMMIED UNCONTROLLABLY. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK THE VEHICLE PULSATED FROM THE FIRST MILE AT LOW SPEEDS OF 30-35 MPH OR LESS. *SC

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP FROM THE TIME I GOT IT WITH THE QUALITY OF THE PAINT JOB WHEN I GOT MY JEEP FROM ABERNATHY IN LINCOLN ON NORTH CAROLINA I HAD NOTICED THAT THE PAINT JOB HAD SOME LIGHT SWIRLS. *AK THE SALES REP TOLD ME I COULD BRING BACK THE CAR AND GET IT CLEANED AND THAT WOULD PROBABLE TAKE CARE OF THE SWIRLS AS IT WAS JUST NEED OF A HAND WAX. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAXED THAT CAR BY HAND WITH A RECOMMENDED HAND WAX FROM THE LOCAL NAPA DEALER. THE PROBLEM DID NOT GET ANY BETTER AND I NOTICED THE SITUATION MORE AFTER I MADE THE CAR SHINE. I ALSO STARTED TO SEE THE BARS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE JEEP WERE CHIPPING. I TOOK THE JEEP BACK TO ABERNETHY AND GOT WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER NAMED BARRY. BERRY SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE SERVICE REP TO COME IN AND LOOK AT THE SITUATION. BARRY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THAT THE REP DID NOT NEED TO LOOK AT THE BARS AND THAT JEEP WAS NOT INTERESTED IN TAKING CARE OF THE CHIPPING AS THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE BARS WERE GOING TO GET CHIPPED AS THEY WERE BUSH GUARDS. I INFORMED HIM THAT MY JEEP HAD NOT BEEN OFF ROAD AND THAT THESE CHIPS WERE FROM SIMPLY GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE JEEP WITH MY WIFE'S SHOES. BARRY INFORMED ME TO BRING IN THE JEEP AND THEY WOULD TAKE THE BARS OFF AND REPAINT THEM BUT THE REP REALLY HAD TO BE THE ONE TO LOOK AT THE PAINT ON THE CAR. I WAITED FOR MY CAR TO BE SERVICED WITH OIL CHANGE AND WALKED AROUND THE LOT. I LOOKED AT OTHER JEEPS AS WELL AS OTHER CARS ON THE LOT AND NOTICED THEY ALSO HAD MANY SWIRLS AND THEY WERE VERY NOTICEABLE UNDER THE BRIGHT SUN. THERE WAS ANOTHER SALES MAN WALKING AROUND AND I ASK HIM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SWIRLS AND IF HE HAD ANY SUGGESTIONS OF HOW TO GET RID OF THEM. THE SALESMAN I SPOKE TO AND SHOWED WAS THE SALES MANAGER AT ABERNETHY AND HE SAID HE COULD ONLY CONTACT THE REP ALSO. THE 1ST APPOINTMENT WAS SET UP WITH A DAY NOTICE THAT THE REP WAS GOING TO BE IN

VEHICLE LURCHES TO THE RIGHT, DEALERSHIP REPLACED ALL RIMS AND TIRES, THUS MAKING THE PROBLEM SLIGHTLY BETTER. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A "DESIGN FLAW" NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT AND TO CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID "ALL VEHICLES IN COLORADO DRIFT TO THE RIGHT DUE TO ROAD CROWNS". MY JGC STILL DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT WITHIN 5-10 SECONDS ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE TWO WEEKS AGO, IT HAS 800+ MILES ON IT.*AK

THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND WAS A RENTAL VEHICLE. I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE IN PARK, BUT NOT HAVE THE SHIFT LEVER LOCKED IN THE PARK POSITION. MY WIFE (IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) BUMPED THE SHIFT LEVER AS SHE REACHED FOR ONE OF THE A/C CONTROLS. SHE WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE AND ROLLED BACKWARDS ACROSS A MACDONALDS PARKING LOT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT HAD SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY FOR DEATH AND/OR SERIOUS INJURIES. POLICE WERE CALLED BUT DECLINED TO RESPOND TO AN INCIDENT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.*AK

BOUGHT A 04 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 2 WEEKS AGO. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH BOTH BACK WINDOWS DOWN, A LOUD NOISE OCCURS SOUNDING LIKE A FLAT TIRE. IF YOU CRACK A FRONT WINDOW THE NOISE GOES AWAY. I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER IN THE WARRANTY BOOK AND THEY SAID IT'S A DESIGN FLAW.*AK

WHILE ENGAGED IN CRUISE CONTROL AND DRIVING UP A STEEP GRADE. THE VEHICLE JUMPED FROM 2000 RPMS TO 6000 RPMS. *AK THE VEHICLE DROPPED TWO OR THREE GEARS AND WOULD SPEED UP UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING AND THE VEHICLE HAS TRIED TO DRIVE OFF OF THE ROAD IN ONE CASE. *SC *JB

PROBLEMS WITH WARPED ROTORS ON VEHICLE. *MR TEN MONTHS AND 18000 MILES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE EARLY WARNING SYMPTOMS OF WARPED ROTORS SURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE ROTORS WERE INDEED WARPED. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO HONOR THEIR BASIC WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER HAS OWNED THREE OTHER JEEPS IN THE PAST ALL OF WHICH EXPERIENCED SOME TYPE OF ROTOR PROBLEM *NM

(1)VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURS WHILE BRAKING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (2)BRAKE FAILURE,ROTORS WARPED. (3)TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, WILL NOT REPAIR DUE TO 15,000 MILES ON VEHICLEHAD REPAIRS DONE BY PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL,WILL NOT TAKE THIS VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP!!ROTORS TURNED AND REPAIRED $130.00. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE EQUIPMENT ON 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.*MR THE CONSUMR FEELS THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITHT HE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY SPONGY AND WITH STEADY PRESSURE, WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE BOTTOMS OUT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TOTHREE DIFFERENT DEALERS. TWO OF THE DEALERS INDICATED TAT THE SYSTEMS WAS OPERATION NORMALLY. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED BUT THAT DIDN'T ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. *NM

BRAKES REAL SOFT AND SPONGY. AT A STOP THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WILL BOTTOM OUT WITH A STEADY FOOT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. ON ONE OCCASSION WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE BOTTOM OUT POINT WITH VARY LITTLE STOPPING POWER. WHEN I PULLED FORWARD AND APPLIED THE BRAKE AT ABOUT 15 MPH THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM ACTIVATED. AFTER GOING FORWARD AND STOPPING A COUPLE OF TIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL CAME BACK TO WHAT THE DEALER CALLS NORMAL. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS AIR GETTING INTO THE SYSTEM. I HAVE BEEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS AND MET WITH A CHRYSLER TECH REP TO NO AVAIL. *AK

THE IDLING WAS SET TOO HIGH. WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE COULD MOTION BY ITSELF UP TO 10 MPH IN EITHER DRIVE OR IN REVERSE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THEY INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT WAS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE COMPUTER SETTING. *AK

BRAKE DISC WARPING AND CAUSING PULSATION. FIRST OCCURRENCE AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES. SECOND HAS JUST STARTED AT 16,000 MILES.*AK

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND WHEN TRAVELLING IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 55 MPH AND START UP A STEEP GRADE, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT OUT OF OVERDRIVE INTO 3RD GEAR, THEN IMMEDIATELY SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THIS SITUATION OCCURS. WHEN THIS SHIIFING OCCURS THE ENGINE RPM GOES FROM ABOUT 1600 RPM TO 4000 RPM. IF THE ROAD WERE NOT TOTALLY DRY OR IF YOU APPROACH A CURVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS A PERSON COULD EASILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON 6/30/2004 AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL.*AK

THE OWNER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY WHILE WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HERS TO PROCEED THROUGH A GATE. THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. *NM *SC

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WITH A OBD-II CODE OF P0456.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. A CERTIFIED MECHANIC EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, AND DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND DEFORMED. THE ROTORS AND PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

CAR SHAKES UNCONTROLABLY WHEN BRAKING. HARD TO COME TO A STOP. TAKEN INTO DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THE ROTORS ARE WARPED BEYOND REPAIR. OTORS REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER STATES THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART BUT WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS BECAUSE IT IS OVER 12000 MILES. *AK

I PURCHASED MY 2004 GRAND JEEP CHEROKE ON MAY 1, 2004 AND I FIND OUT TODAY THAT THERE WAS A RECALL PUT ON THE VEHICLE ON MARCH 24 AND THE COMPANY SOLD ME THE VEHICLE THAT WAS DEFECTED AND THEY KNEW IT. I ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS DEFECT BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD.*AK

WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS BACKING OUT THE VEHICLE TO CLEAR THE GARAGE A LOUD ROAR WAS HEARD. ALTHOUGH THE CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR VEHICLE SURGED BACKWARD, COLLIDING WITH A MOVING VAN. CONSUMER SUSTAINED MINOR NECK INJURIES, AND THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. THE POLICE WAS NOT SUMMONED, AND THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT. *AK

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO DOES NOT HAVE A CIGARETTE LIGHTER OR AN ASH TRAY.*MR THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER A CIGARETTE LIGHTER AND ASH TRAY WOULD BE MAILED TO HIM AND HE COULD INSTALL IT HIMSELF. FIVE DAYS LATER THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A PACKAGED WHICH CONTAINED THE NORMAL LIGHTER AND A SMALL BLACK PLASTIC CUP WITH A LID FOR THE ASH TRAY. THE CUP WAS TO BE PLACED IN THE SMALLER OF THE TWO FRONT CUP HOLDERS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ASH TRAY WAS INADEQUATE BUT AWKWARD TO LOCATE AND DANGEROUS TO USE SINCE IT WOULD TAKE THE DRIVERS ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD. *JB

DIAGNOSTICS INDICATE NO PROBLEM, REC CALLING CHRYSLER CUST SERVICE, REFERRED TO 2ND DEALERSHIP, SAME COMPLAINT, DIAGNOSTICS INDICATE NO PROBLEM. WAS TOLD "THAT IS HOW THAT ENGINE RUNS"*AK ENGINE FEELS AS IF IT WILL STALL OUT AT STOP OR PARK. CHRYSLER OFFERING NO HELP AT THIS TIME OTHER THAN REFERRAL TO DISTRICT MANAGER WHICH WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL END OF MONTH.(JUNE) APPEARS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS LOGGED ABOUT THIS, YET CHRYSLER/JEEP UNWILLING TO FIX PROBLEM. VEHICLE ALSO PULLS TO RIGHT, WAS TOLD "THAT'S HOW IT IS", ALSO LESS THAN AVE GAS MILAGE.

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A LEAK IN THE FRAME OF THE WINDSHIELD. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, AFTER 1 NIGHT IN THE RAIN PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK THE DEALER THEN REPLACED A PIECE OF MOLDING ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE WAS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT HARD RAIN TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE IS TRULY FIXED. *NM

MY WIFE AND I OWN TWO JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES, A '99 THE AN '04. IN 1999, JEEP CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THEIR GRAND CHEROKEES AND ONE DESIGN CHANGE POSES A SAFETY RISK TO PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEATS, ESPECIALLY YOUNG CHILDREN. MODELS PRODUCED STARTING IN 1999 ALLOW FOR THE WINDOWS IN THE BACK SEATS TO ROLL DOWN, LEAVING A GAP BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND THE FRAME ON THAT PART OF THE WINDOW CLOSEST TO THE REAR SEAT PASSENGER. THE 1998 JEEP ALLOWED FOR THE WINDOW TO BE ROLLED DOWN AND THE GAP BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND THE FRAME WAS AT THE FRONT OF THE WINDOW, FURTHEST FROM THE PASSENGER. ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS WE HAVE ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS AND MY CHILDREN (AGES 2 AND 4) , ATTRACTED BY HAVING THE WIND HIT THEIR HAND, HAVE STUCK THEIR FINGERS BETWEEN THIS GAP AREA. WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED UP, THEIR FINGERS GET CRUSHED BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND THE FRAME. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY CONTACTED JEEP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WERE ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT WAS WHETHER MY CHILDREN'S FINGERS WERE BROKEN. THEIR SOLUTION, USE THE WINDOW LOCKS ON THE DRIVER'S CONSOLE. HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY GUARANTEE THEIR HANDS ARE NOT IN THE WINDOWS BY TURNING AROUND AND CONTINUING TO LOOK AS I ROLL THE WINDOWS UP. THIS IS DISTRACTING AND NOT A SAFE COURSE OF ACTION. BUT THIS WAS THEIR RECOMMENDATION. MY WIFE AND I DID NOT PAY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR VEHICLES THAT CAUSE PAIN TO OUR CHILDREN. WHETHER THEY HAVE BROKEN THEIR FINGERS IS IRRELEVENT AND REALLY SHOWS A LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY BY JEEP. I SPOKE TO REPRESENTATIVES OF JEEP AND THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. FROM OUR CONVERSATION, ONLY IF MY CHIDREN SUFFERED BROKER FINGERS WOULD THEY COMPENSATE US AND/OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, NO BROKEN BONES MEANS ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK A COMPANY WOULD RATHER BE PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE. (THE DATE BELOW IS WHEN THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURED BUT THIS HAS OCCURED MULTIPLE TIMES.)

WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE IN FIRST GEAR DRIVESHAFT MADE A BANGING NOISE. WHEN ACCELERATING VEHICLE WAS NOISY AS WELL. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

CONSUMER UNAWARE WHETHER HER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS PART OF THE RECALL. *PH THE CONSUMER HEARD THROUGH A MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS BEING RECALLED DUE TO ENGINE STALLING. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE WHETHER HER VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE MEDIA IS USUALLY NOTIFIED FIRST AND THAT IT WAS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE AUTOMOBILE COMPANY AS TO WHEN THEY WILL NOTIFY THE CONSUMERS. THE CONSUMER INDICATED THAT SHE FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING HER VEHICLE AND FEELS THAT THE CONSUMERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED AS SOON AS A RECALL IS INITIATED. *NM

CONSUMER'S SON WAS PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY WHEN GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK. THIS CAUSED HIM TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL, KNOCK DOWN A FENCE, AND THEN KEEP GOING, ENDING UP CHOPPING DOWN A VERY LARGE TREE. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVER AND SON SUSTAINED BUMPS ON THE HEADS , BUT THERE WERE NO SERIOUS INJURIES. *AK

MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SPECIAL EDITION STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS. IT HAS HAPPENED BETWEEN 5-10 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT.

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WARPED ROTORS AT 7800 MILES. *AK

WHILE THE DRIVER WAS COMING OUT OF THE GARAGE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKES WERE INOPERATIVE. *AK

ENGINE WOULD STOP RUNNING AT IDLE. *PH THE DEALER PLACED A CO-PILOT ON THE COMPUTER, HOWEVER IT SHORTED OUT, CONSEQUENTLY THE DEALER HAD NO IDEA AS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE GAS MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS POOR. *JB

MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A DEFECT IN THE ECM THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF BUT WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM CURRENTLY. THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS DIED AT STOP LIGHTS, IT HAS STUMBLED, AND/OR HESITATED UPON ACCELERATING FROM STOP, AND RUNS SO POORLY AT AN IDLE WHILE SETTING IT SHAKES THE WHOLE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE'S. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM RUNNING THE RISK OF MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE STOPPING UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN IT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS BASICALLY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN IF THE ENGINE SHOULD UNEXPECTEDLY DIE AT THE WRONG MOMENT WHEN ACCELERATING.*AK

HEIGHT OF VEHICLE UPON ENTRANCE IS NOT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH. EVERY TIME I GET INTO THE VEHICLE I HAVE TO CURVE MY BODY TO THE LEFT IN ORDER SO THAT I DO NOT HIT MY HEAD, AND IT HAS HAD A DEVASTATING EFFECT ON MY LOWER BACK AND MY UPPER BACK. I AM 5'3", HOW ARE PEOPLE TALLER THAN MYSELF GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE WITHOUT HITTING THEIR HEADS? I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS A DEALER ISSUE, IT IS MORE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE!*AK

PURCHASED A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED EDITION ON 12/24/03. STALLS WHILE AT A STOP. STALLED ON 12/24/03, 1/14/04, 2/4/04, 2/29/04. DEALERSHIP TAKING IT IN FOR REPAIR FOR THE 4TH TIME ON 3/8/04. CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. ON 2/29/04 STALLED WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I FEEL IT WILL LIKELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE ALTHOUGH IT IS BRAND NEW AND QUALIFIES FOR THE LEMON LAW.*AK

I LEASED A BRAND NEW 2004 JEPP GRAND CHEROKEE AND WE DROVE IT OFF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROX 6,000 MILES ON IT, AS A MANAGER DROVE IT FIRST. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS AND IN THE PAST 4 WEEKS IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE INCORRECTLY SHIFTS, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN A BURNING SMELL APEARS, AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTS BLINKING. EACH TIME IT IS TAKEN IN FOR THE SAME THING, THEY SAY THE HAVE FOUND AND REPAIRED ANOTHER PART. THE LAST TIME AFTER IT WAS FIXED BEFORE I PICKED IT UP THE TECHNICIAN EVEN NOTED IT WAS STILL SHIFTING HARSHLY. TOO SAY THE LEAST IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP, AND STILL HAVING TO PAY THE LEASE PAYMENTS!*AK

BOUGHT A 2004 JEEP "SPECIAL ADDITION" IN JUNE OF 2003, THE AIR CONDITIONING BUTTON WOULD NOT STAY ON. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, THE PART WAS BACK-ORDERED. IT TOOK SEVERAL WEEKS (WITHOUT AIR IN OUR NEW JEEP DURING THE SUMMER) FOR THE PART TO COME IN AND BE REPLACED. THIS JEEP PULLS DRASTICALLY TO THE RIGHT. ALSO, TOOK THIS SO CALLED TRAIL RATED JEEP ACROSS A FOOT 1/2 DEEP BY FIVE FOOT WIDE CREEK ON OUR PLACE (THAT WE DRIVE THROUGH ON A WEEKLY BASIS) A PIECE OF ICE BROKE THE METAL GUARD PIECE ON THE FRONT OF THE JEEP AND THE ICE LODGED UP AGAINST THE RADIATOR IN TURN DAMAGING THE RADIATOR, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. WE WERE WITHOUT OUR VEHICLE FOR 6 WEEKS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE WE HAVE EVER HAD PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE. *CB

THE ABILITY FOR STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, MOST NOTABLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IS VERY DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE A GAP OF SLOPPY SPACE IN THE STEERING. AFTER DRIVING MULTIPLE NEW 2004 GRAND CHEROKEES I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THE DEGREE OF GAP OR SLOPPINESS VARIES BY VEHICLE. *CB

MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A COUPLE POWER OUTLETS; THEY LOOK ALMOST LIKE CIGARETTE LIGHTER RECEPTACLES. THE OUTLETS ARE MARKED "20A" INDICATING A 20 AMP CURRENT CAPABILITY. THE JEEP BOOK ALSO INDICATES THESE POWER OUTLETS ARE ABLE TO CARRY 20 AMPS, AND THE JEEP SHOP MANUAL CALLS THESE 20 AMP CIRCUITS. WHEN I DISASSEMBLED SOME TRIM TO INSTALL A 2-METER HAM RADIO, I SAW 2 VERY SMALL WIRES CONNECTED TO THE REAR POWER OUTLET. THE JEEP SHOP MANUAL SAYS THESE ARE 16 GAUGE WIRES. HERE IS THE PROBLEM: 16 GAUGE WIRES WILL NOT COME NEAR THE ABILITY TO HANDLE 20 AMPS OF CURRENT. IN FACT, 16 GAUGE WIRE CURRENT CAPACITY IN A CABLE BUNDLE IS AROUND THE 5 OR 6 AMP AREA. MY HAM RADIO DRAWS 8 AMPS WHEN TRANSMITTING, AND WHEN PLUGGED IN THE JEEP POWER OUTLET, THE VOLTAGE DROP WAS THREE VOLTS. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THE WIRES CAN SEVERELY OVERHEAT AND BECOME A FIRE HAZARD IF THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE ADVERTISED 20 AMP CAPABILITY. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW CHRYSLER/JEEP GETS AWAY WITH THIS. THERE IS A 20 AMP FUSE IN THIS CIRCUIT, SO ANYONE USING AN INVERTER OR OTHER ACCESSORY THAT ACTUALLY DRAWS 20 AMPS IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY OVERHEAT OR MELT THE WIRING BEFORE THE FUSE BLOWS. *LA

CONSUMER STARTED VEHICLE, SHIFTED GEAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD, HITTING ANOTHER CAR BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. *AK THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. NO AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WOULD STOP THE BRAKES. *SCC *JB
