I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND HAVING DONE HOURS OF RESEARCH I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS. MY ALARM IS FAULTY AND OFTEN DOES NOT START, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE VEHICLE IN OVER A WEEK. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING JEEP TOLD ME TO DO TO OVERRIDE ALARM, IT DOES NOT WORK. I ALSO HAVE A "QUACK" IN MY DOOR LOCKS. I SUSPECT I WILL NEED A NEW ACTUATOR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR IS NOT A RECALL ON ANY OF THESE THINGS, I HAVE READ LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEMS IN THESE CARS AND IT COSTS ALOT OF TIME, MONEY AND FRUSTRATION TO FIX. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP NOR WILL I EVER RECOMMEND A JEEP. *TR

DRIVER SEAT BROKEN RAIL. SEAT STARTED SQEAKING THEN FELL APART COMPLETELY. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE SEAT IN PLACE HAVE GIVEN WAY. THE SEAT NOW ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE & FRONT TO BACK. IT NEEDS SOME SERIOUS REPAIR. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT IT DID. I HOPE NOTHING WORSE HAPPENS TO THE SEAT AS I TRY TO FIND SOME WAY TO REPAIR IT. ALMOST 3,000 PEOPLE ON ONE WEBSITE ALONE HAVE REPORTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BRACKETS ON JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. (HTTP://VLANE.COM/POLL/30/2001-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-HAS-YOUR-DRIVER-SIDE-FRONT-SEAT-BROKEN-ON-THIS-JEEP) THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THIS FAULTING DESIGN & MANUFACTURING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ONLY TO HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD & HAVE THEIR SEAT COMPLETELY BREAK APART FROM THE BRACKETS & END UP LOOKING AT THE CEILING OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE SEAT FALLS BACKWARDS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE DRIVERS FRONT SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED THE SEAT AND FOUND THAT THE METAL FRAME HAD CRACKED IN THREE PLACES. I DID SOME TEMPORARY REPAIRS WHICH DID NOT LAST VERY LONG. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND IS A DANGEROUS. ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME WITH THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN, NOT DUE TO ABUSE OR ANY USE OUTSIDE OF NORMAL USE. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET BROKE ON FRONT LEFT SIDE CAUSING SEAT TO WOBBLE.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND FORM CUSTOMER SERVICE AT CHRYSLER. I HAVE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE,AND WAS PLANNING ON BUYING ANOTHER. BUT>>> COMMENTS: --------- MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A 4L ENGINE STALLS WHEN TURNING LEFT IF THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK IS BELOW 1/4. THE VIN NUMBER IS; [XXX] THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I AM NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LAST WEEK I HAD THE LOCAL DEALER CHECK THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID IF IT WERE THE SENSING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK, IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF, NOT THE SENSOR, AND THEREFORE, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AROUND $1000.00 TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PUMP, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PICKUP DEVICE WHENTHE TANK LEVEL DROPS BELOW 1/4, AND THIS HAPPENS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL WEB SITES AND FOUND QUITE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION. I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AT 1-800-992-1997 AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO SPEAK WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-853-1403. WHEN I CALLED THIS NUMBER I SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE AND I EXPLAINED WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS TOO OLD FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HIS SUPERIOR, AND WAS DENIED A NAME. WHEN I ASKED FOR A NAME, SHE ASKED "IS ANYTHING ELSE I CAN HELP YOU WITH AND TOLD ME THANKS FOR CALLING. THIS IS NOT AN ANOMALY WITH MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, ACCORDING TO THE SITES I VISITED, THIS OCCURS FROM 95 AND ON INTO THE 2000 (S) JEEP. THE JEEP DIED ON MY ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT 1/4 TANK AND I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAS OF TRAFFIC IN SPEEDS OF 70+MPH. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE GETTING MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE DEATH. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME AND SEAT BROKEN.

SEAT BRACKETS UNDER DRIVER SEAT HAVE BROKEN, WHICH CAUSES SEAT TO MOVE WHEN GOING AROUND BENDS, GETTING IN AND OUT OF SEAT. THE WAY THE BRACKET HAS BROKEN, THE SEAT CAN PHYSICALLY BE LIFTED UP OFF THE FLOOR. WE REMOVED THE SEAT, THERE IS ONLY 1 OF THE 4 BRACKETS NOT BROKEN, SO IF THE LAST ONE WOULD BREAK THE SEAT COULD TIP OVER OR FALL BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS. IF YOU WOULD GO AROUND A BEND, YOU WOULD EITHER HIT UP AGAINST THE DOOR OR AGAINST THE CONSOLE DEPENDING ON WHICH DIRECTION YOU TURN. IF YOU WOULD HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES THE SEAT WOULD FLY FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. WE HAVE FIXED THE SEAT ONCE BY REWELDING THE BRACKETS, AND THEY BROKE AGAIN, SO WE NOW HAVE COMPLETELY REPLACED THE SEAT WITH A SEAT FROM A DIFFERENT JEEP. AFTER THE INITIAL REPAIR, IT TOOK ABOUT A YEAR FOR IT TO BREAK AGAIN. *TR

WITHOUT ANY PRIOR SIGNS, THE FRAME ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FRONT SEAT MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BROKE. IT APPEARS THAT THE METAL NEAR THE BOLT WAS WEAK AND SIMPLY SNAPPED. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY I HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT TURNING INTO A ROCKING CHAIR YET BUT I FEAR THAT IT IS INEVITABLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING. I FIND IT DISGUSTING THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT DONE A RECALL ON AN ISSUE THAT RANGES FOR A NUMBER OF MODEL YEARS AND IS INSTEAD FORCING US TO PAY TO MAKE OUR CARS MINIMALLY SAFE. WHEN YOU PURCHASE A CAR, YOU DON'T EXPECT THE METAL IN IT TO JUST BREAK! *TR

DRIVERS SEAT APPARENTLY CRACKS, STARTS SQUEAKING, WOBBLES AND THEN BREAKS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE WELDED THREE TIMES NOW AND EACH TIME IT LASTS FROM A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO A COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. IT HAS NOW BROKEN FOR THE FORTH TIME.

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH SAFETY RECALL #F25 (ELECTRIC FAN). ON OCTOBER 20, 2010, I WENT TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP DUE TO A COOLANT LEAKAGE. THE REPAIR SHOP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A DAMAGED RADIATOR DUE TO THE ELECTRIC FAN BREAKING INTO PIECES AND CAUSING THE LEAKAGE. I PAID THEM $259.00 FOR THE NEW RADIATOR. I WAS INFORMED OF THE SAFETY RECALL AND I DECIDED TO GO TO THE RIVERDALE CHRYSLER JEEP LOCATED AT 5869 BROADWAY BRONX NY 10463. AFTER A GENERAL INSPECTION THEY NOTICED THE SHROUD WAS ALSO DAMAGED AND REFUSED TO REPAIR/REPLACE STATING THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED. I AM REQUESTING FULL COVERAGE OF ALL RELATED PARTS AND LABOR AS THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE FAN FAILURE. I AM FURTHER REQUESTING A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST OF THE NEW INSTALLED RADIATOR AND I CAN FURNISH A RECEIPT AS PROOF.

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE BY JEEP REPAIRED AT LEAST THREE (3) TIMES IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS DUE TO STALLING. THE LAST TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A "WIRING" PROBLEM. I AM CONTACTING YOU AS I JUST READ ON MSNBC.COM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH JEEP PATRIOT SUVS. *TR

THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. ALL OF THEM MAKE A LOUD "QUACK" NOISE WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK OR LOCK THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE ENTRY OR FROM THE DOOR. THE REAR HATCH CAN NO LONGER BE OPENED AND BOTH PASSENGER DOORS HAVE TO BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY. THE DRIVER DOORS HAVE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF ONLINE BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE IN ORDER FOR JEEP TO STEP UP AND FIX THEIR WRONG DOING? I AM HOPING YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR
