Jeep Grand Cherokee Reviews

I recently purchased a brand new Grand Cherokee from Snethkamp. I put a good down payment and was very excited to get my new vehicle, which was not to give me any problems. Ever since I took the car off the lot, I have experienced and encountered problems that someone should not when buying a brand new truck. Within the first 2 weeks, a noise, more so a rattling sound from the engine started. I took it into services and that’s when it stayed overnight, only for them to tell me nothing was found and the truck should be fine.

I just purchased my used 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee and and the cruise control would work sometimes and then not work other times. And the engine light would go off and go on. I took it in and they said they would order the new cruise control module for me. I then took it home and the next day I was driving it down the highway at 55 mph. I came behind a lady driving 40 mph when I started around her to pass. Just as I started to pass her, I noticed another car coming at me that was definitely speeding.

At 9:30 pm, I went out to move my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It fully accelerated when I put it into dive, it shot me across the street toward the center of my neighbor's house. I managed to steer to the left into a row of 8 oak trees, hitting one and totaling the Jeep. That was the second time in two months that the vehicle had fully accelerated, with me standing on the brakes, unable to stop it.

I am an owner of a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. At 120000 miles, two brackets on my drivers seat broke, leaving it wobbly. A little while later, the other 2 brackets broke, leaving the seat completely free and hanging by nothing but the power cord since they are powered seats. We then attempted to have someone weld the seat back to the brackets. Upon leaving, the right side broke and the left side still intact as of now.

I recently purchased a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee XJ model. What a mistake. Apparently, it is cursed with various intermittent electrical problems, i.e. the door locks inadvertently engage/disengage, then stop for awhile, then start again. Also, the courtesy lights will blink on/off at the same time the door lock thing is happening. Pulling the fuse that supposedly protects the door lock circuit doesn't stop the problem. I've had to pull a relay to stop the courtesy lights. Also, the engine now stalls every morning on my way to work at about 50 to 60 mph.

I bought a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 30,140 miles in January 2010. Within a month I noticed one time when I went to accelerate that it would not take off normally for about 3-5 seconds and then would slowly begin to accelerate and run normal. I assumed at the time that I had my foot incorrectly positioned on the accelerator. It happened about 4-5 more times in 4 months since then, but it always corrected itself after I moved my foot while pumping from panic of someone hitting me because I'm not able to accelerate as expected. Well, today, even though it does not have a warranty, has less then 39,000 miles, and I can't afford to put it in the shop, I have no choice. I could have died today.

I own a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a recurring problem. In June 2005, the relay that runs the engine cooling fan had to be replaced, the car had 45,168 miles on it. This happened again in October 2006, with 67,093, again in August 2007 with 80,042, and again in March 2010 with 115,030. Was there a recall on this part? Should there be? The cost were, $306.06, $404.65, $484.40. There is also the inconvenience of getting stuck on the side of the road and not having transportation while the vehicle is being repaired. I am not in the position to buy a new vehicle nor can I sell this one knowing of this problem. I also can't afford the extra repair costs.

I ran into the back of a truck after it slam on its brake about 50-55 mph and my air bag didn't go off. So you should look into that because I hit so hard that my frame bent. I am ok but you really so look in to the air bag in the 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo.

Back in 2007, I bought a used 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. I totally fell in love with it. Well, I noticed during the test drive it had no heat nor air so the deal was to have that fixed and we would buy it. So that got fixed and 4 months later in 1/08 the heat stopped, found out that the blender doors tend to do this on this model. So it sat all winter long since we did not have $1,200 to fix it. In March of 2008, we got it fixed. In January of 2009, it happened again. Once again, we waited until we had the money to fix it. This time we did not fix it until February 2010. Now it is May of 2010 and it happened again, I was driving yesterday and my air turned off.

The 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee had unintended acceleration when moving from park to drive on three occasions with the most recent resulting in a serious accident. Even after the car came to a stop against a tree, the car was still revving. This was witnessed by a bystander.

I have a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, which I recently bought from a Jeep certified dealer. The problem is that while driving down the interstate at around 55mph or higher, my Jeep will automatically shut off for no apparent reason. This has happened to me at least 7 or 8 times since I've had it. A few of the times, I had to hurry and coast onto the shoulder of the highway and the other time, I was luckily able to put the vehicle in neutral and restart it before getting rear-ended. I took it to the Jeep dealer, but they said this particular model/year has not been recalled yet so they don't know what to fix on it and until it's recalled, it won't be covered under my warranty.

I purchased a new 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee ltd 6-cylinder on 4/3/10 from a Jeep dealer. After driving it, I noticed that when I stop at a light or stop sign and the car is on an incline of any steepness, the car rolls backwards dramatically. Enough so that I almost hit a car behind me on two separate occasions. I quickly take my foot off the brake and accelerate as quickly as possible but it doesn't matter as the car is already in a fast roll back. It is so unsafe that I cannot even drive my car. I contacted the dealer twice. They called the manufacturer and they said that's the way it is and they have never had any such complaints.

Our 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee was broken into Dec 17, 2009; at which time the dash was compromised and all the GPS/navigation/satellite and radio electronics were stolen ($3,800 to replace). A police report was filed, and insurance claim opened. The electronics has been received at the dealership; but to date the dash has not been received.

My husband and I have two Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredos, a 2001 and 2002 model. Three window regulators on the 2002 and two on the 2001 models have had to be replaced. At $500.00 a pop, we have spent over $2,000.00 replacing the window regulators. We love the vehicles otherwise but this is truly pathetic that as a consumer, we must pay top dollar for these vehicles and be milked to death because of a cheap plastic part. Can anything be done to recompense the owners of these vehicles?

I had a problem with my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee transmission, it was leaking. When I took it to the dealer, they said it would cost around 500.00 to fix. This car only had 11000 miles on it at the time. So I took it to a transmission place in our town and got it fixed for around 200.00. I was also told that this is an ongoing problem with Jeep Grand Cherokee, and that they have had quite a few brought in for the same problem. My question is if Jeep knows about the problem, why wasn't there a recall on for this problem instead of having buyer pay the expense of repair. It took money away from my family and I was without a car for several days.

While driving home the evening of 3/8/10 on a pitch dark country road by Madras, OR, my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, without warning, shut down all dash and head lights. My two year old was in the back seat. I slammed the breaks not wanting to travel straight on a corner turn. After skidding to a complete stop, I applied the high beams for a last ditch effort and the lights came back on. Thankfully, I did not go off the road.

Please look at the link. It details ongoing electrical problems with Jeeps, the link is primarily for 2005 Grand Cherokees but the problem affects many others. I am waiting for further update on mine as it is in the shop. It was a total shut down of the vehicle, a potential crash due to loss of power while driving or stranding drivers. There seems to be no one at Jeep/Chrysler that is taking this seriously. A recall needs to be implemented.

This took place several years ago. 1995 to be exact. My wife and I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD. About three months after purchasing the vehicle, we took it in for a problem. We described it to the dealership order writer that the car would not go into gear after stopping at a red light or stop sign and it would take few seconds before it would go into gear and only after a sudden jerk. At that time, it was under warranty and it was taken care of. Four months later, it did it again. This time, my wife was in the middle of an intersection making a left turn and when she needed it to go, the jeep would not go. At this time, all vehicles from her left had a green light and started to approach closer at high speeds and finally, the jeep went into gear after a strong jerk. By then she was shook up as cars were all honking not knowing the situation.

My grievance is twofold. The first part is, unfortunately, fairly common with many people experiencing the same thing as I have. The second part, however, I hope you will find as unbelievable as I do.

I have had a '00 Grand Cherokee for about 3 years now, I have talked to some other owners, the Clock springs seem to be notorious for going bad in these Jeeps (in the steering wheel for the airbag). Not only is this an issue but I am having issues with the taillights, I keep having to replace the socket(s) for the brake/running light. These sockets coming new from the dealership keep burning out about every 2 months. The brake light will not work when the lights are on. Pending what side is burnt. They only cost $8 each, but after you do this so many times it starts to add up. Nobody can give me a straight answer on what might do it without a $75 an hour inspection.

We have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has 130,000 miles. In the past 2 months, we have had problems of the car stalling, when we idle at a light or stop sign, intermittently. There are times where we start to accelerate, either at the start of a drive or after waiting for a light to change, and the engine will not respond. It stutters. There are times it will restart immediately and others were there will be a couple of tries. There are times when it does have a smell of gas. Just today as I was idling and letting out a passenger, they had commented that it smelled bad at the rear of the car. Possibly some type of exhaust. Problems can never be recreated for the repair people. The consequences of these stalls and repeatedly restarting will probably have a domino effect on other parts of the engine.

On December 24, 2009 I was driving my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee in heavy rain. I drove through some water and it quit. It was raining extremely hard. I had to have it towed to my house. My son is a Honda mechanic. He advised the engine was hydrolocked. Another mechanic looked at it and said it was hydrolocked. I had it towed to an independent shop. At first he advised it was hydrolocked and he would talk to the insurance company. Then he advised it was not water and did not know what caused it.

I own a 2004 Grand Cherokee and have had the window regulators, three of them, replaced under warranty and now, I have had to replace one that they replaced just over a year ago. They couldn't show me what failed other than to say that they have gone bad. I took the one they replaced and it showed no sign of failure. I've been reading that this seems to be a common problem.

Since buying our Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 1 1/2 years ago it, has been in the shop close to 10 times. Lately, 4 out of the last 5 times have been for an issue of when we are driving, the vehicle seems to go from 5th gear to 1st and then accelerates quickly back up to speed. It has caused us to almost get in several accidents, and one of the times almost driving off the side of the road. Each time we have taken it to the Jeep dealership, they have a new excuse or they don't know what the problem is.

Three months after purchasing a brand new 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, I began experiencing slips in the transmission (jerky motions that indicated the car might stall). Repeated visits to the dealership resulted in them telling me the car was "learning" my driving habits. A year after purchasing this vehicle, it began to stall at various speeds; sometimes restarting immediately, other times not. For two years I've written to and called Chrysler. I had it in to two dealerships as well as independent mechanics and no one can figure out or duplicate the problem.

I'm writing in reference to the articles about Jeep Grand Cherokee stalling problems. I own a 2000 Grand Cherokee with just over 127,000 miles on it and just recently began to experience the stalling. It will stall without warning driving at speed on the highway, coast for a few seconds, and then catch itself back in gear; but at slower speeds, it'll just die, have to be placed in park, and restarted. Sometimes, it will start immediately but sometimes may take a while. Major inconvenience when you're holding up traffic and potentially dangerous too.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee - In 2002-03, it had Rotaries defect (3 times). I had to pay the 1st repairs. They told me it was because I was traveling through puddles of water too fast (found out that was a lie). In 2006, I had to replace the whole brake light (replaced bulb 4 times before changing the whole thing). In 2007-08, windows would not work on driver and passenger side (2 separate events). In 2008-09, door locks would not work. They repaired driver side, passenger side still does not work. I have talked with many Jeep owners in Marion, South Carolina and 3 family members and the same thing happened with theirs. It is not a coincidence. These jeeps are defective and we, the consumers, should be reimbursed for these problems.

My 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been in the shop since last December. It has huge electrical problems and when they said it was finally fixed and I picked it up, the check engine light and the problem recurred before I got home. The dealer is out of ideas. Chrysler/Jeep is unwilling to help. I have had to rent or borrow a car on a regular basis since Dec. 08.

I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002. First, a year ago or so, the window busted. I took it to the dealership. I had no choice, it was raining and that was a $400 bill. Then last week, the light came on and the Jeep wouldn’t go into a high gear on a major highway. I went to Jeep in Fairfax and they said the transmission was bad, clutches burned out, $4,500 to fix-replace. Wow, it only has 68,000 miles on it. I said how can this be.

On August 4, 2009, I was parking my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland at a shopping center when suddenly the jeep accelerated, jumped the curb and wiped out a large concrete planter and knocked down a light pole. The brake would not override the acceleration. Luckily, no one was on the sidewalk in front of me. This incident was reported to my local jeep dealer - both the service manager and the sales manager and "supposedly" to two Chrysler reps that were at the dealers that day who were going to "look at the jeep" at the auto repair shop next to the dealer. It has now been two months and I have not heard one word back.

Recently I purchased a 2004 Grand Cherokee Jeep. Had I known about others who have experienced unintended acceleration, I would never have purchased this vehicle. On two different occasions while my foot was on the brakes, the car lunged forward on its own like it was a rocket. The first time it happened, I had parked my car and was about to put it in park when it lunged forward going across the sidewalk and almost hitting a building before I was able to bring it to a stop. Luckily there was no damage although I was definitely shaken up. The second time it happened, I was parking the car in my garage in the same stall I always use. Again I was about to put the car in park when it lunged forward like a rocket. This time, I was not so lucky as both my garage and my car sustained damage. I have taken the vehicle to two different mechanics and they cannot find anything wrong with this vehicle. I am absolutely petrified about driving this car. After searching on the web, I just cannot believe that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will not recall these Jeeps. I found at least 40 complaints describing the same type of unintended acceleration involving Jeeps from 2000 - 2009. Wake up, Chrysler. What is wrong with you?

I have a 1999 Grand Cherokee Limited and it is having a stalling problem. So, I looked up the problem and found that there was a recall sent out for that problem. I called My Jeep in Salinas and explained what was wrong with mine and about the recall and they are refusing to fix it for free. I don't think this is fair. If there was a recall sent out for it, no matter where I bought it from, they should fix it at no cost to me.

I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I purchased from a used car dealer last year, and that has had stalling problems from the first month that I owned it. The stalling is very dangerous because it happens unexpectedly and loss of power steering occurs, and it could easily happen taking a curve on a freeway. I drive in fear of this, as I am currently unable to afford a new car. I have had the car to several mechanics, including a Chrysler dealership service center to try to have the problem fixed. That time I was told that I needed a new power-train control module and I got it replaced. The problem seemed to be fixed for about a week and then the stalling returned. I have had two other mechanics try their theories but only to experience a similar pattern of going away for a week or two and then returning to stalling.

I have a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its window regulators keep failing, costing $300 each time for parts and labor. My repair shop indicated it is a design flaw. I'm out $600 in repair costs, to date.

Two of my windows in my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee have stopped working due to a faulty regulator. It cost $480 to fix each one. There have been many complaints online about this happening to most Jeeps. Even the dealer said it was a defect, but we have to pay for it. **, they need to fix this problem before Americans only buy foreign cars. Consequences: my car got soaking wet inside due to rain when I found my back window fell down.

While Chrysler personnel have been kind and accommodating, my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland has not, since originally purchased. So many faults have occurred, I'm not certain I can recall all of them, nor the total costs for their repair. But it has been significant, not to mention the costs in lost availability of the car. Others have reported many of these same failings, but I may have some new ones to list. The brake rotors warped, and turned and now ready to turn again because of warping. The heater deflector door failure was repaired, but cold air still enters the passenger compartment necessitating covering our legs in winter. The window regulator's failure: first, the driver's door, now r/rear. It will no longer allow anyone to roll windows down. Mass Air Flow Sensor failure and Battery failure (shorted).

I own a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 2005 and I have had nothing but problems with it stalling since I first purchased the vehicle. Shortly after I purchased it new, my husband and I were driving on the highway at over 60 miles per hour when the car just shut down with no warning sign. Luckily, we did not have any other cars behind us, or else, we would have been in a terrible car accident. It went into the shop for quite sometime for what they believed to be electrical problems. It seemed to have solved the problem for a while, but then it started again. It is now stalling again, and can happen when I'm driving fast, making a turn in the car, or idling in a drive through. There have been many times where I've almost been rear ended due to the problem.

The front driver's side and passenger's side window regulators of my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with approximately 102,000 miles on it have stopped functioning. The driver's side one went out about 2 months ago and the passenger's went out today. I have read many complaints online about this defect and Chrysler has not issued a recall. Dealer quotes are around $500 per window for parts and labor. It’s a very common problem and it seems that the window cable blocks are made of plastic and are weak and susceptible to melting in extreme hot weather. I am replacing the window regulators myself and just paid $100 for a pair of aftermarket window regulators and motors. Also, I am replacing the window cable blocks for metal ones at $120 for 4. Chrysler needs to recall these parts and fix them for their customers.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee has less than 44,000 miles, and I have had to replace three window regulators and three different windows, the last of which cost me over $500.00. I had to pay out of pocket two times for a defective part that should have been recalled.

I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and I have had to replace 3 of 4 window regulators. I keep reading that this is a common problem in these cars so I think that there should be a recall. I have had to spend $1,000 just by replacing those window regulators.

I purchased used 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee from used car lot in 2005, still under factory warranty. Since then, I have replaced the window regulators a total of 5 times. This is a common problem with the 2001-2004 Grand Cherokee and Chrysler refuses to do a recall. This has me more than $500 in parts, and hours in personal labor.

This is the second time in six months that a window has fallen inside the door of my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have been reading online where many other owners have this problem. It seems like this is a major problem for this vehicle and I cannot afford to have it fixed.

All four window regulators have failed at least once in my 2002 Grand Cherokee. Other than the driver's windows, they are rarely used. The two passenger side regulators failed within a week of each other. Both failed while not being used. The window just dropped into the door while driving. The struts holding the hood, rear door and rear window have also failed. It had been replaced and have gone bad again. The Jeep only has 64,000 miles on it. Over $1,000 spent with the dealer for repairs. Another $1,200 if I get the current failures repaired. I had been hit in the head by both the rear window and by the hood when the struts have failed. Also the loud snap and window dropping while driving down the interstate is a very dangerous distraction as well as a danger for young kids and animals in the vehicle.

My 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee window regulator failed. Driver's side fell down about 6 months ago, and the passenger's fell down two days ago. There should be a class action lawsuit on this.

Yesterday, May 23, 2009, was a nice day, so I spent the day working outside on flowerbeds and such. Two of my older kids were home when the incident took place. They had just come outside and were standing on the front porch. I was working with flowers standing about 5-9 feet away from my parked, non-running Jeep Grand Cherokee. Thank goodness, I wasn't standing much closer or right behind it, otherwise I would have probably had to go to hospital all cut up. So I was standing across from my parked Jeep in my driveway doing work outside when all of a sudden, I hear a big loud boom, crash. I looked all around and saw that all of a sudden for no reason at all, the whole back window of my Jeep Grand Cherokee just blew out, not in but out. I saw pieces of glass blown out all over the ground behind the back of the vehicle and it blew out with enough force that it even blew glass out onto the back top roof of the vehicle as well.

I have taken my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for window regulator repairs 4 times now - once for each window. I asked at the time that I called (around May 6, 2009), if there was a recall on the regulators because I thought it was odd that all 4 have gone out. The 2 front windows were repaired under warranty but I had to replace the 2 back windows myself, as the warranty had expired. The most recent was on May 6, 2009. When I asked about a recall, I was told there is none and that they don't have that many that come in with window regulator problems, which I find hard to believe. The 2 front windows went out within 6 month of each other and the 2 back windows broke within 3 months of each other. I do not understand why they continue to break and I think there should be a recall or some type of reimbursement for this. I have paid roughly $1000 in repair costs within 3 months. I'm still making truck payments, so I think this is outlandish. That would have been 2 truck payments. If there is a class action, count me in.

My sister rolled up the front passenger side window of my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, and we heard a strange pop when the window reached the top. She got scared and rolled the window down. The window went down ever so slowly, and once we could not see it anymore, the window would not go back up. When we push the power window button up, there is a very weak motorized sound; and when we push down, it sounds as if everything is fine. The window will now not close, and it is a Saturday afternoon. I am not sure if I will be able to find a place to repair it. Also, I read online that the fix could run around $500.

I bought my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland last year. I was so excited because this was my first car I bought and loved everything about it. Six months later, I was idling at a red light when the motor started wanting to die. The light turned green, so I pressed the gas to get to the shoulder where there was a gas station. I then called my father, who is a mechanic. He told me to turn if off and he'd be right there. So I turned off the Jeep. It was still idling really bad as I turned off the key. I really couldn't understand what was happening. I just bought this car and I don't drive very far. When my father got there, he lifted the hood and had me start it again. It was still idling really bad, so he had me press a little on the gas. That's when the rocker arm flew out of the motor and threw my valve cover. What the heck was that?

He sold me a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it was not working right. Now on the Jeep, I had a 30-day warranty so what I did I tried to find everything that's wrong with the vehicle before my 30 days was up. So I took it. The first time they kept it for a week and they were supposed to have fixed it. But they did not fix it. My truck was pulling hard and sounded very loud and did not have them many miles on it. So I took it back the second time, they were supposed to have fixed it but they did not. So I ask for my $1300 back and they would not give it to me. The dude Charles said they could not give it back to me. So now my truck note is due and it is barely running and I don't know what to do. Could someone please help me and I have a sick child with heart problems need to go back and forward to Jackson. Please help me!!!!!!!!!

My wife pulled our 2004 V8 Jeep grand Cherokee into the day care to pick up our toddler and put the gear in park after coming to a stop. The Jeep suddenly accelerated and shot forward, with her foot tightly on the brake, and went over a concrete block, through a fence and into the yard on the other side. Just missed crashing into the house. She pressed the brake harder to make it stop but it accelerated and hit a tree before it stopped. We have had this jeep for over 5 year and it has been dealer serviced for the last 5 years. The air bag never deployed and when we called the jeep service center in San Jose, the service manager said that in the V8, the sensor is faulty and it sometimes accelerates when changing the gear to stop from neutral. If Chrysler/Jeep knew about this then why did they not recall and fix the sensor? What is Jeep waiting for???

I purchased a pre-owned 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee in October of 2006, it had 90k miles on it. Every year since I owned the jeep, it has gone to the shop at least three or more times, for stalling, not wanting to idle correctly, turning off when it wants to, dead battery... etc. Just had the Jeep again in the shop because the new battery I just put in the Jeep was completely dead the next morning, no power, no lights nothing. So got another new battery and put it in, drove the Jeep for less than a mile and it began to stall and wanted to die. I immediately drove to the dealer and informed them about the problem, left it there overnight only so they can tell me nothing is wrong. Cost $70.00, again!

Dealership should replace at no charge for poor workmanship or faulty design. There should be a recall.

Both my driver's side and passenger side window regulators have broken within months of each other (Sept. 2008/Jan. 2009). I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I purchased new in Sept. 2003 and the warranty expired in Sept. 2008. This is a widespread problem in this model of Jeep and Chrysler is aware of the problem; however they have chosen to do nothing about it and the burden of repairing the vehicle is placed on the customer. It is not hard to see why the US vehicle market is in a dire state when they produce such poorly made vehicles. Their customer service is equally poor. A class action lawsuit or other compensation should be afforded to the customers for such a flagrant problem.

We have owned two Jeeps since 2000 and have liked them both until now. My wife was pulling into a parking spot when our 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo's engine suddenly raced and then leaped forward with great force as she braked. No amount of pressure on the brake pedal would stop this rapid acceleration. The Jeep stopped when it hit a concrete planter about 3 feet away. Damage was $4208 to the jeep. I have read of over 80 incidents of this nature with with Jeep on the NHSTA and Consumer Affairs websites. Has anyone investigated this? How should we proceed?

Jeep Grand Cherokee 2000 stalls at highway speeds, loses all power and then restarts by itself. Could cause serious accident or injury at highway speeds. All loss of electrical power and power assist steering causes difficult steering of the vehicle.

My new vehicle had to have the brakes resurfaced and the pads replaced about 6,700 miles. I had to have the pads changed again at about 16,000 miles. It was told to me they would not replace any brake parts again if I have anymore problems after this last repair. I continue to hear a small grind noise with my brakes at times when I brake. I bought my '08' Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 in 2007 of Sept. I have not had the auto 2 years, yet I continue to have brake problems that the dealership will not cover in the future. FYI, I used to own an '07' Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 that gave me the same problems with under 10,000 miles that I had to have repaired by the dealer.

I am the original owner of a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. In January of 2009, my passenger side window just slowly fell down. It was cold & raining beyond belief. Of course I had to get it fixed - $430.00 later, I am warm & dry. It was a regulator. However, Now I cannot open the hatchback door in the rear. It may be a solenoid. I am angry. Of course Chrysler turns their heads to any and all of this. I will NEVER buy a Chrysler again.

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 21k miles. Has stalling problem. Vehicle will just quit and it happens at highway speeds. Have taken the vehicle to this dealership 4 times for same problem. The Service manager questions us as to why we are bringing it back because each time, they cannot diagnose. The last time we brought it back (January 31, 2009), we had a 9:30 am appointment. We were told to return by 4:30 pm because they close at 5:00 pm. When we returned, they had not even looked at the vehicle. I called Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403 for assistance. I ended up speaking to a call center in India and to a person with an accent that did not know what the word stalled meant. After communicating the issues we had with the dealer, the only advice they could give was to take it back for a diagnosis. I explained we had been to the dealer four times in the past month already. Chrysler Customer service said they could not do anything until the vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer. I then asked if I could get a rental while the dealer attempted to find out what the problem is. The Chrysler rep would not agree to a rental.

Wanted to know if there has been reports of problems with the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee ignition. Ours the key goes in, but won't turn. Had to remove and replace ignition switch. Dealer said they had a lot of problems with this particular switch.

I bought a 2006 Grand Cherokee from Lunde Jeep in Fargo, ND in July 2007. It was a factory rep's vehicle with 4000 miles on it. I drive a lot and this past winter it has developed the problem of all the warning lights coming on for a few seconds then off. This problem occurs even when idling as that has happened several times also. Called Lunde when this problem first occurred and they said yes, they had another vehicle that does the same thing but do not know how to fix it. So am reluctant to take it in just to start changing parts until they find something that fixes it. I'm out of warranty so this could cost a great deal of money. I like the vehicle otherwise but would like this problem solved. The vehicle had about 30,000 miles when the problem started.

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee shuts down abruptly with no warning. This could happen anytime. Local Jeep dealership has no solutions. After spending much $ on probable causes, it still shuts down. Chrysler needs to address this problem.

December 26, 2006, Chrysler is recalling 62,400 2007 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles because the braking system may fail to work. The recall includes 62,369 model-year 2007 Chrysler Sebring, Chrysler 300, Jeep Commander, Jeep Compass, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Liberty, Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Nitro, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Charger and Dodge Caliber vehicles to re-program the system Electronic Control Unit.

2005 Grand Cherokee Laredo 5.7 Litre. Purchased the vehicle new in February of 2005. Started having problems with starting in August 2005. Had towed to dealer and it sat there five days before they could figure it out. Since then has been in the dealer shop 7 times for electrical problems. Last time this for 2 weeks. Electrical module. On third battery, Second alternator. Driver door lock freezes at 32 degrees. Have to heat up key with a lighter. Water leaks into car. This car was built wrong. Called Chrysler. They could care less. Car has 37,000 miles on it. Car is unreliable. Bought it to go skiing but cannot trust it. Why anyone would buy a Chrysler is a mystery to me. Even the road guys at AAA who I had to call plenty said Chrysler Jeep is notorious for electrical problems. They build cars they can't fix. Chrysler won't pay for my last 900.00 problem that was just an ongoing situation.

I also own a 03 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I have had it for 3 years this month. Here is a list of problems I have had: no heat/AC (I live in Md so it's hot as you know what in the summer and cold as you know what in the winter) for 2 years, rear driver side window broken (we have it rigged up), wiring harness w/plug to heater blower motor resistor has burnt up twice (what a nasty smell that was), hood will no longer stay up (I use a stick for a hood prop), have had the water pump replaced twice (I had to be towed for this one $$$$$), and last but not least, I had to have both of the sensor replaced (one on the camshaft and one on the crankshaft, they both went bad at the same time). So here I go again, another cold winter. It really scares me when I'm driving to work at 3:30am and can't see a thing (lots of wild animals where I live). I just wish Jeep (DaimlerChrysler) would stand up and do the right thing before someone dies as a result of their negligence. Sorry if I misspelled any words I'm a bad speller.

Another Jeep stalling problem! I have been dealing with this car problem for weeks. My 98' Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo shuts down so suddenly while driving, idling, turning, or stopping. I can not predict when and how it happens. One day the car runs fine and next day I can't even leave my home. This car has been in and out of repair shops for 3 weeks. Mechanics repaired ignition coils and ASD relay, but it didn't solve a problem. And they over charged me big time made my situation worse (But this is an another story and another complaint to make).

I have a 1999 jeep grand Cherokee limited. #1Heater AC blend doors. This is a fix that will cost you $800-$1200 if you take it to a dealer. I bought parts online and fixed it myself because of the price. When I removed the stock parts they literally crumbled in my hands, with such a high percentage of jeeps having this same problem (which is re-occurring when the dealerships fix it) owners need to be given at least some sort of permanent solution which can be performed by the dealer at a lower cost. #2 Warped Rotors. All four wheels have disc brakes and inconsistent pressures are applied to the rotors. This causes a massive and uncontrollable wobble that randomly occurs when you apply the brakes or hit a bump. When one rotor superheats and warps causing you to lose control, you need to buy a new rotor or possibly die. These are not reasonable options!

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Heater stopped working (turn on control, nothing happens); turn signals stopped working at the same time but the flashers do work. Dealership charged us $160.00 for a diagnostic stating the heater motor, heater blower resistor module, and the multi-function switch were all inoperative; we replaced all through a private, certified mechanic (still expensive but not as bad as the dealer). Problem still exists. Fuse was blown so I think its some kind of power surge going through that part of the harness, or maybe some kind of short, coming from where? Dealer head mechanic told me that replacing those parts would of just been them working their way through the issue.

We have had Jeeps all our adult lives. Eight in total. We have 2 now. One a 1996 with 178K miles and one a 2004 with 46K miles. The 2004, which is the top of the line Grand Cherokee with all the bells and whistles, even having regularly scheduled dealer service every 3000 miles, we have had nothing but headaches. The Jeep 04 has had a recall on the heated seats. We have continually had to pull pressure dents out of the hatchback door. The cause yet to be determined.

There is a widespread and well-known heater/AC problem with many Jeep Grand Cherokees. I own a 2002 and the heat has recently stopped working on the driver's side. The vents only blow out cold air and since it is about 30 degrees right now, I will need to get this fixed right away. I brought it to my mechanic and he said it was most likely the heater door that had broken and only a dealership could fix. This repair involves removal of the entire dashboard, steering wheel etc., with costs estimated that typically run anywhere from $800 to $1200. Not to mention it does not always fix the problem in the long run. I also found information online on sites like Heatertreater.net which sell kits to fix this exact problem, for all Jeep models and year ranges from 1997-2006. So it seems this issue affects much of their product line.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, purchased 1 year ago, has stalled out 4 times, 4 different conditions (side roads going slowly, interstate going 70 mph, etc.). Car completely shuts down and has to be pulled over and put in PARK to re-start.

I have replaced every window regulator in my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee at $300-350 each. As of last week, we are on round two, this will be window number 5. Air conditioner only comes through the defrost vents, the CD player sucks, I have had to replace some part in the transmission for $800.00. It also has an evaporative leak and the power locks on one door do not work. Also, if I go over a large bump, I almost lose control of the stupid thing. What a disappointment and a waste. I will never buy another Jeep.

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Electrical problems. I purchased my car in '07 used with 27k miles. Less than a year later, I was having electrical problems. All dash indicator lights will come on and flash. Headlights turn on and off. Instrument gauges turn off and then back on… very scary when driving. Taken to dealership 3 times now. They say that it's nothing wrong and still not fixed. The dealership is treating me poorly. Telling me it's impossible to diagnose any electrical issue.

I have had my second window regulator go bad in my '03 Grand Cherokee. This last one cost me $440 to get fixed. Last Jeep I will buy.

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 4.0L.

While driving my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it stalls and at times I am in heavy traffic. It seems to start right away after the stall. When it stalls, I lose all power to my power steering and it gets hard to steer. This has happened to me three times today while I was on a very busy highway. Has there been a recall for 1996 Jeeps with this problem? I see there has been a recall for newer Jeeps.

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Three windows went down within a month. I see that I am not alone. Driver side went down and was covered under warranty.

I purchased a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo about 2 years ago. All was well (besides the passenger window regulator needed to be replaced which is another defective part manufactured by Chrysler). In February of 2008, I started experiencing stalling while the car was idling and while running at speed up to 70mph. At this time, I took my vehicle to Courtesy Dodge and the problem was diagnosed as a bad Crank Shaft Sensor and was replaced. After spending $400, less than 8 months later the same problem is reoccurring, only worse now. Not only is it stalling several times a day and sometimes several times within a mile, but once the car stalls it is difficult to pull over to the side of the road. Once it is stopped at times, it cranks up right away and other times, it takes many attempts. There have been times I have had to leave it on the side of the road to return later and try to restart it.

I purchased a 2004 Grand Cherokee Limited Edition new. This vehicle has 21,000 miles on it and I have replaced a throttle censor, and the front drivers and passenger side window motor assembly. Now the driver side rear window fell down. The vehicle is out of warranty. The dealer wants over $450.00 to fix this. I went to a glass shop and paid around $350.00 each for the front windows because they were cheaper than the dealer. I called Chrysler (claim number **) to make a complaint about this, and I was told to take it to the dealer for a diagnosis, then call Chrysler back and maybe they can help me with the payment, but they couldn't guarantee it, and I would be responsible for the diagnosis fee. I told Chrysler that if they couldn't guarantee it I was taking it somewhere cheaper. I also asked why there wasn't a recall on this, and she said it was because the windows falling down aren't a safety issue. I looked on Consumer Affairs and found over 90 complaints because of the windows falling down.

Me and my wife bought a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee from Green in September of 2007. The vehicle had 39,000 miles when we bought it. Our total finance on the vehicle topped $20,000. The moment we drove it home we were upside down on our Jeep by almost $5,000. We also purchased a powertrain plus warranty for $2,000 which at the time I was told covered ALL of the electrical systems. Now the Jeep has just over 50,000 miles on it and we have a list of issues. The check engine light is on and it kicks out of overdrive on the interstate which also disables the cruise control. The dealer says that it is the throttle position sensor that is causing these problems. The driver side window will not roll up - this is from the window motor.

I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 6L. I have notice that you either love Jeeps or you hate them. I personally still love my Jeep even with the repairs. I Just fixed my driver side window, the same problem as all the other people on this site. The window slowly dropped while my wife was driving home from work.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee (recent purchase). While driving vehicle, driver inadvertently hits knee on ignition, shutting off car including lock-up of steering. This is very dangerous. We can't be the only people with this complaint. Has there been a recall or fix mandated?

My daughter has a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Her passenger rear window fell while driving in the summer of 2008, and the dealer told her over the phone it would be around 4hundred and something dollars to repair. She could not afford this. I sent the information to the Chrysler Corporation and was told that they would not be able to help her. I was able to get the part for her and read how to replace it. BY OCTOBER OF 2008, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVER REAR AND THE DRIVER DOOR. I have the three pieces I replaced and they are all broken in the same place. It is a plastic piece where the end of the cables lock in. I can prove that with these parts. Now, the heater will not work in the jeep. From reading about others with the same complaint, I can see it looks to be another big problem with jeeps.

I own a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and all four windows have dropped in the last 4 yrs of ownership. I have paid approximately $1500 for window regulators.

I own a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and all four windows have dropped in the last 4 yrs of ownership. I have paid approximately $1500 for window regulators. I have a grandchild who sits in the back seat. The window just dropped, it was pouring rainy and he got soaked. It is truly a safety hazard and quite expensive to have the repairs performed. Jeep needs to have a recall and reimburse individuals for the dollars spent on this known defect. And people wonder why we purchase foreign made products. Go figure. I do not recommend Jeep to anyone. If you have one get rid of it quick. If you are contemplating purchasing one, forget it!

I own a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. In the spring of 2007, my driver's side window regulator broke (the window fell, would not roll up or down). I had it replaced. In October 2007, the same thing happened to my passenger side window. In May 2008, the same to my right rear passenger window, and in Sept 2008, the same to my left rear passenger window. All windows have failed within one year of each other. I do not have the money to fix these, and believe that Chrysler should issue a recall to repair the windows. Of course, the car is no longer under warranty.

I have a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and it will randomly stall at any given time. I have been dealing with this for about 9 months now. It has been to the dealership and they said it was the plugs, cap, rotor and wires. Replaced that. Then I took it to my regular mechanic and he did a test on it and he said it was the ignition coil. Replaced that. Then it was back again at the mechanic and another diagnostics test done and nothing found. Did a fuel pressure test on it and came out fine. Had the battery and alt. checked and that was fine too. I have had several more diagnostics tests done on it when it was acting up bad and each time it comes back that they can't recreate the problem and that they can't find anything wrong. It also has a new radiator, map sensor and new IACV. Nothing seems to work. It is getting scary to drive it and I have 2 small children. I am going out of my mind. I know that there is something wrong with it and no one can find it.

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, which I bought new and has 36000 miles has had numerous problems. The one I'm writing about is that the power window regulator mechanism broke and my driver side rear door window is stuck in the lowered position. The power window regulator failure is a massive defect affected thousands of Jeep owners, if not the entire Chrysler line, as evidenced by the amount of Internet groups discussing the issue. It will cost at least $400 to replace.

My 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee was in for repair for 6 months. The alarm kept going off, the interior lights going from dim to bright, and so on. I filed a complaint with the Department of Transportation, because it cost me over $600 dollars for a small jumper that was shorted out in the driver's side. When I checked into the problem, there were other similar faults and the parts were on back order. I spoke with a certified mechanic and I was informed that was a fault on almost all Jeep Grand Cherokees. This should have been a recall. Now, I have a problem with it stalling when I come to a stop, either a traffic light or stop sign. I researched this fault and it appears there has been a recall on newer Jeeps but not older Jeeps. This vehicle is starting to turn into a money pit.

My 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo has now had every one of its four window regulators fail, with less than 100,000 miles on the car. The dealership mechanics admit that there is an inherent fault in the design, but Jeep refuses to issue a recall. Three of these regulators failed while the vehicle was in motion, causing a safety hazard.

I have owned my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee for about 3 years now. The beginning problems were no real fuss and were adjusted with little problem. This one would expect from any used vehicle. However, about 3.5 weeks ago, my Jeep started sputtering and stalling for no reason that can be found. No dashboard lights come on, and the computer is finding nothing. I have had 2 sensors replaced before it went to the dealership. They replaced the ignition switch, and it is still acting up. They refuse to tell me if anything is covered by the warranty, saying that it is just time. Yes, it is just time, just time that I can't get from place to place in this town that has no public transportation, time that I can't get to work, go grocery shopping, or get my laundry done!

I Have an pre-owned 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee and its about to be winter and I have no heat. The blower works but its just blows cold air. Just bought the vehicle as is from a local small dealership. I like the car but I've been reading up on Jeeps and there are a lot of people having the same problems. Its an 02, the car is not that old, why isn't there any kind of recall. I'll tell you why, well its kind of obvious. Jeep doesn't want to pay to have it fixed so a lot of people are getting screwed and have to pay out of their own pockets. So now a days you have to decide whether fix your Jeep, or pay the mortgage or whatever. You see where I am going with this. I've also read that it is not an easy fix and you have to shell out a lot of money which not everybody has. All I'm all, you buy a car, spend thousands of dollars, it should work right.

My 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo was purchased less than 1 year ago. Now it is stalling and dying on the road and no one can fix it. The on-board computer showed a transmission code once. But now shows nothing. No one can figure out how to fix. I have also received word of other Jeep owners with this issue who do not know how to fix it. Also the dealer failed to issue the CarFax report when requested. This could have solved many problems with part warranties.

Within one month, my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3 out of 4 windows stopped working. They have either fallen off the track or motor broke, etc. After researching this problem, I've noticed hundreds of stories about Jeeps with the same problem. A recall needs to be made about this.

I was putting my windows up earlier today when I heard a pop sound. I looked at my drivers window and it would no longer move. I went to get it looked at and before the service guy even looked at my truck he said oh yea, this happens to all jeeps. Next your back window will go.

A few months ago, the passenger window of our Grand Cherokee Jeep (model, Loredo, 2004)slid into the door frame because the regulator broke on its own. The cost to fix it would be at least $250, for the part alone. We decided to screw our window in place until we felt more financially secure. Then, this past weekend the passenger window did the same thing--and it's the same problem as our other window. We talked to Jeep/Chrysler customer representatives and they said we had to take it to a dealership, pay the $200 just to get a diagnosis, and then talk to Jeep again to see if they'll pay for any part of the damages.

My husband and I own a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 99k miles on it. We bought it new. There have been several issues with it (mostly covered by the extended warranty) but the most frustrating is the recent one that now sounds like a growing issue for many jeep owners. I cannot believe that it is going to cost us $1500.00 to fix the heating/air vents. The vents will not blow the cold/hot air out even though you can hear the fan running. Instead I get the outside air flowing through the glove box. This should be covered under the warranty or recalled. Shame on Jeep! I will never buy another Jeep.

I own a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I love my Jeep, but I've had a few annoying problems. Currently, I have replaced 3 of the 4 power window motors. Then, my ignition cylinder had to be rekeyed. The steering wheel would lock up, and the key would not turn. Although that sounds like a common issue that could be solved by simply turning the wheel, the ignition would lock and not turn at all. So that had to be rekeyed.

I own a 2002 JEEP Grand Cherokee. In 2007 replaced transmission, 2008 replaced cooling fan relay (fan would run when vehicle was not), replaced 2 window regulators. Now need to replace another. Replaced the radiator a couple weeks ago (blew hole in it )fan didn't come on, replaced relay again, now the cooling fan motor is bad. Replaced something in the steering column dealing with airbag (that's all I need for that to go off while going down the road). All of this happened within a year. Window regulators broke within weeks of each other.

I am the owner of a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I have just had my 3rd window regulator break in the last year! I am so sick of this happening. I will NEVER buy another Chrysler automobile again. I have been burned twice they them and will tell everyone I know not to buy Chrysler cars EITHER!

I too own a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I bought it used, but still in warranty. While still in warranty, it was in the shop 4 times for a transmission leak. Within months of running out of warranty, both my heated seats quit working. I have replaced both front window regulators and need to replace a rear one now, but have had difficulty finding the part. My exhaust manifold is cracked. My drivers side A/C blows cold air only and my passenger side blows hot air only.

My wife has a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 112,000 miles on it. Last month her driver side window made a popping sound and fell down. She could not raise it. I researched the problem and found this to be all too common a problem. I wasn't about to pay $400, so I got the part online and replaced it myself. Please add us the growing list of complaints for this problem.

Failure of 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited dual zone heating and air conditioning system due to bad design. Air recirculation door and both left and right blend doors broken. Stop tabs in doors too weak. Repair expected to cost $1,500! THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS DISCOVERED ONLINE!

I'm just writing to report that after having my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited stall on me about 10 times over the past 6 months that I think that Jeep should extend it's recall. I have found that this issue exists in several of the Jeep vehicles. Please address this as this is a very dangerous issue.

I have a '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee have had it for 4 years. Six months after purchasing the car transmission went out. Had extended warranty had to pay $100.00. Year later steering makes popping noise still no one can fix. About a 2 wks. ago all 4 windows will not roll down or up. Driver side panel nothing works, passenger front side lock works only. Yesterday, brakes are making a grinding noise.

We've had our 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo for about 2 years now. We've had nothing but problems. First, we've had the passenger front window fall. Then we noticed the grinding, or rather jerking when hitting the breaks. The car wouldn't start about a week ago, so replaced the battery and thought we were all good. Now today, a week later, the anti-theft device does not recognize the key, so it won't start! The engine light has been on since a week after we bought it. The heat and air do not work right. We now have a vehicle that we owe $10,000 on, just sitting in the garage! Jeep has never contact us about any defects or recalls. I can't afford to just keep putting money into this car. I called Jeep. She said she would be happy to help me. After taking all my information, all she said was that I would have to contact a Jeep dealer. Why take all the info then???? I called a couple of dealers, and told them, I'd like to have an idea before I go to have it towed there. The wouldn't tell me anything. What now?

Several months ago upon taking my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for a routine oil change, I was informed that my Jeep requires $1400 worth of maintenance. Upon hearing this, I was very distraught. My vehicle was under warranty and yet these charges were my responsibility. They informed me I needed new breaks, new rotors, new tires, and my transmission was leaking! This vehicle is only 3 years old- 45,000 miles- why in the world does my new car need so much work done?

I wish that I had heard of a death wobble before I spent money on multiple front-end alignments and new tires. I own a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee - and from the beginning I would get this shaking and wobbling especially while on the highway. Sometimes, the vehicle would shake so badly that I would have to pull over to get out of traffic. This has gone on for years, but just recently I brought my car into the shop for a hesitation problem and the mechanic told me that the check engine light was not my biggest problem, he said that I needed to replace my entire steering system.

We own a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and are having to replace the front passenger window regulator for the second time. We have replaced the rear passenger window regulator twice already, and had to the same to our 1994 Jeep windows, as well. We love our Jeeps, but cannot understand why this issue is not being addressed? What does it take for the company to step up to this and do something about it?

The intake manifold in my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee is cracked and there is no lead time for when I will actually receive a part from Chrysler. My husband has called for two weeks now to the local office in the US with no response but to fill the voice mail box of the woman that works for them.

Wondering if there is any kid of class action suit against the company. we too have had 2 of our 4 window regulators go on our Jeep Grand Cherokee. after reading how many others this has happened to, I am adding my complaint to the list.

I own a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. At 79,000 miles my passenger side electric window motor and regulator broke. Three days later the Drivers side did the same thing. May Jeep owners are complaining about this same issue. It appears that there is a factory defect in those particular motors and regulators. I need help because the repair cost for each window is $450 EACH.

My 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the [worst] machine ever! I have had problems from day 1. My Jeep has been in the shop over 20 times for different items going wrong such as my rear axle leaking fluid, heater and AC going out, ALL OF MY WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN OFF THE TRACKS with the rear passenger doing it twice!!! $550 every time that happens! My key was stuck in the ignition.

Purchased 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 4/05 w/30,000 miles. Consistently experiencing problems with heat and a/c. After 3rd visit to dealer, problem diagnosed as faulty heat box (not covered under warranty). Service manger confided that it is a common problem/defect in this particular automobile and thought that manufacturer should be responsible for repair costs (approx. $750-950). Research also indicates that other consumers have experienced this problem. How can I relay this to the manufacturer without revealing my source of information?

Jeep is aware of issues with transfer cases in the Grand Cherokee Laredo. A recall was issued for 1990-98 model years, but mine is a 2000. I've replaced the transfer case in my vehicle TWICE, at $1300 each occurrence. I've contacted Jeep customer service & have been told that NOTHING could be done. Jeep does not wish to be responsible for their own mess.

Replaced defective window regulator...$400.00 on driver's side of my 2004 Grand Cherokee. The passenger side has just dropped also. This is extremely costly! I understand this problem is epidemic! These regulators are obviously defective. The dealers say if they are replaced at a garage (always for less), there's no chance of reimbursement on future breaks!

When I purchased my Jeep in 2005, I believed that I was buying a reliable vehicle. Since then I have had many problems with my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee to say the least. I have taken my vehicle to Ingram Park Auto Center (IPAC) Jeep dealership. All of these problems were due to product defect. These problems listed below range from water contamination in the transmission, faulty ignition switch, faulty transmission O-rings, faulty shifter, and faulty blower motor resistor, to faulty cancel cam. The vehicle has not even reached 40,000 miles, and so far it has had multiple defects. I believe that I am driving a lemon?.

I purchased a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2004 from Chesterfield Dodge located in Midlothian Virginia. I have owned and loved my 1989 and 1995 Jeep Cherokees with limited problems, other than electrical difficulties. However my used 2000 Grande Cherokee, with less than 35,000 miles proved to be be my financial downfall.

2004 jeep grand cherokee power windows keeps breaking and the glass slides down in the door. 3 windows so far have broken in the last 6 months. every person I have talked to that owns a jeep with the exception of one person has had the same problem. I don't know why there hasn't been a recall yet.

Jeep Accident as Result of Unintended Acceleration: On June 10, 2008, I drove up my driveway to put my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland in the garage (I have been main driver since vehicle was purchased new and have put it in same bay of garage everyday since purchase; this is the seventh Jeep we have owned, so I am very familiar with driving Jeeps). Electricity was out from a storm so the automatic garage door opener did not operate. I parked in front of the bay, put the vehicle in park, turned off the engine and opened the garage door manually. I got back in the vehicle, started the engine, put car in drive and started slowly into the garage.

This is the 2nd jeep that I have owned. My 1st was a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I did buy used and I drove it up until March 2008, with little or no service problems, so when I went to go get another vehicle I decided to go with a Jeep again. They seem to hold up and this would be another great investment, plus I was buying a used vehicle that still was under warranty. I purchased a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, from a Jeep Dealership, with 62,000 mi. Since March I have had to have 2 out of the 4 oxygen sensor replaced and throttle positioning sensor replaced with in my 1st 30 days of ownership, since then I have lost the heat in the vehicle and that is going to cost me $1100 to replace,(not covered under the warranty) and an emissions problem that is going to cost $150 to repair, also no covered under warranty.

In the past 9 months I've had to replace two window regulator assemblies on my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I live in Washington state and the first time it happened was at the end of October. I was returning home when I heard a pop from the passenger side. Then the window slowly started to lower and didn't stop until it was fully down. It was very rainy at the time and I had to drive to the repair shop with plastic taped over my window, not very safe.

I have replaced two broken windows with a month. You shut the doors and the windows fall down. It is the window regulators. My sister also has had to replace two windows in her 2002 jeep grand cherokee. We both bought them the same day from Whitten Brothers. There is defect in these jeeps. On the internet there are numerous complaints about this very same thing and nothing is being done about it. I asked Whitten Brothers if they could do anything to help with cost and they said no. I have complained to Chyrsler and tried to contact Bobby S. the Service Manager but he would not return calls. Very poor customer service.

We had a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with approximately 38,000 miles until it was destroyed by fire last week. We have had constant transmission problems with the car since new. The transmission was replaced at approximately 7,000 miles. Even after the new transmission, the car was back at the Jeep Dealer 9 to 10 times with the same transmission problems. Always getting the run around from the dealer saying the car is fixed, only to be back in short order for the same thing. Never even had a loaner for us. In fact twice in the last 6 weeks leading up to the fire. Luckily a police officer was directly behind the car when the fire started and witnessed the whole thing. the policeman stated that he thought the transmission fluid leaked onto the exhaust and that's what caused the car to burn. Went on to say the fire was into the engine compartment and the passenger compartment in 90 seconds.

My complaint is more of a concern. I have a '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. About 2 years ago the passenger window just slid into the door. I took it to Jeep and they said it would cost about $500. to be fixed. Well, I haven't that kind of money to repair it and have been putting cardboard and such to keep window up, till I have money. But a friend of mind was kind enough to look at it today and found the cable wire had been broken.

I took my 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for an AC repair. I had a small leak in one of the seals and this was confirmed by a mechanic at the dealer. I was advised that they would replace the seals and I would be on my way. I was called at about 10am and was told that it was complete and was ready to pick up. I picked it up at 6 pm that evening and wanted to try my Air Conditioner. It didn't work at all...the entire refrigerant system was empty. I left the vehicle there and talked to them the next day and was told that all of a sudden my Evaporator has a leak. This went from a relatively minor repair to a really expensive one. I advised them that this wasn't a problem before they serviced it and at the very least they should give me a break on the repair...they offered to take $30 off the total bill.

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee- Electrical problems. I purchased my car in '06 used with 12k miles. Less than a year later, I was having electrical problems. All dash indicator lights will come on and flash. Headlights turn on and off. Instrument gauges turn off and then back on.. very scary when driving. Taken to dealership 3 times now.. spent over $600 to replace the wiring harness and it's still not fixed. the dealership is treating me poorly. Telling me it's impossible to diagnosis any electrical issue, but 2 weeks ago had no problem telling me it was for sure the wiring harness. I'm getting the run a round.. and treated so poorly.. They have my car today and are telling me that it's impossible for them to find the problem. How can that be?? This is a safety issue. When this happens my lights won't work and neither do my turn signals, my gauges don't work. It's dangerous to drive- but they don't care ...

I was part of the heated seat recall for 2003-2004 jeep grand Cherokees. I had mine replaced and about an hour later the passenger seat of my 2004 jeep grand Cherokee caught fire. I have a fire report stated electrical started the fire from deep within the seat. Chrysler came down to investigate and said it was the heated element that caused the fire. I am not getting any help with this situation from Chrysler, my insurance will not cover this due too it being Chrysler's fault. I am having bad experience with customer care at Chrysler I am being extremely patient and very nice to them considering what has happened. The customer care rep that I have talked too stated that there was no one higher than him that I would be allowed to talk to. I am also having troubles finding a lawyer because no one got injured during the fire. Thanks

I over payed for my 2001 jeep grand Cherokee limited at bererra jeep, for starters {my fault}. Not long after both window regulators and rear door actuator failed. My big problem with this is that Jeep is fully aware of these problems but does nothing to fix them. About a year after that both front infinity factory speakers blew within a month of each other. Again another problem that jeep is fully aware of and refuses to address...there are no crossovers built into the speakers guys!!??...The poorly built jeep front ends gobble up tires even if you religiously rotate them every three thousand miles. The rotors must be replaced every three years ,{they are built paper thin}.

My 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee has had the front passenger window regulator as well as the rear window regulator break - $800 to repair! The electric windows malfunction and this can be a dangerous situation if you need to roll your window down and it doesn't work. I discovered through web research that this has been a big problem with Jeep Grande Cherokee cars.

My 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo has stalled on numerous occasions under various driving conditions. This last time was on a highway without a shoulder to pull over and semis traveling at high speeds zipping by. I have brought it into the dealer on 3 separate occasions and they have not been able to find/fix the problem. I went on the internet and see that this is not a single isolated case so I am wondering why they act like they know nothing? Also, what are they going to do about it?

I was completely stopped at a 4-way stop sign when my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee's engine revved/idled high & it lurched forward. I was practically standing on the brake pedal, but it continued to lurch forward a 2nd time & then a 3rd time until it hit the van in front of me. Since I am certain my foot was firmly and solidly on the brake pedal, I am also certain that I was not pushing the accelerator pedal simultaneously. Now I will have to deal with the ramifications of the accident, including paying for the damages to the van & my insurance premiums rising, even though I was not at fault -- my Jeep was!!! AGGGHHHH!!!

I bought a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo because of the reliability and the weather here in NY. My husband and I had looked at many different kinds and drove a few before coming to a conclusion of buying the Grand Cherokee Laredo. We bought the vehicle in Feb. 2007 and have had it in the shop numerous times. The first instance was the engine light came on while driving down the highway right in the middle of the city. I immediately called the dealership and took it in. Apparently the O2 Sensor had gone out on it (only 23,000 miles on it) and they replaced it. Within a couple of months I had to put it back in the shop for another problem and when I got it back the windshield washer fluid wasn't coming out. I figured that they didn't hook something back up right.

We purchased a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee brand new at the 5* dealership. Since we have owned it we have replaced the brakes 4 times. Have had to have the two front windows fixed to a tune of 1100.00. There was also an additional problem that was fixed at the dealership to the tune of 300.00 and right now it sits at a shop with 600.00 worth of repairs. We will never even look at a Jeep/Chrysler product. They are junk! We just purchased a Mitsubishi Lancer and bought the extended warranty. Hopefully we will have better luck with the new car.

I bought a used 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee through an auto buying organization where I work. I was not given the time to run an Autofax on the vehicle, but told someone else was going to take it if I did not make an immediate decision. I bought the vehicle and shortly thereafter noticed there was a vibration every time I stepped on the brake pedal. About the same time I received notification of a settlement in a class action lawsuit in New Jersey telling me I could take my car to a dealership for a brake inspect and replacement of rotors and other parts if needed. I took the car to the Go dealership on So.

I have owned my 2000 Grand Cherokee for over 6 years. The brakes have been replaced 3 times since, mainly front rotors that warp. I have had a water pump go bad, and a radiator. Now I am dealing with the notorious Death Wobble at speeds of 40-55mhp my jeep shakes so bad you can hardly hold the steering wheel. I just had new brakes put on ans had the techs look into it and they could not find anything. Now I have to locate a jeep dealership to over charge me for a bad part. Needless to say, its 8 years old, only has 80K miles, but its getting traded in for a different make and model. Very unhappy that no one knows why these shake so bad?!

Today when I went to the carwash that I have frequented for the eleven years that I have owned my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, I was refused service. They sited unintended sudden acceleration in all makes of Jeeps. After getting on the internet & doing just a short search, I have found numerous reports from consumers on problems of this nature for all years from as early as 1996 to 2007. Never once has Chrysler notified me regarding a problem of this nature. I was not aware of this until today! How can this be!!!! Is this acceptable? I have noticed a problem with my transmission lately, & have had it in to be serviced. It still seems to have a problem, however. I am very nervous about driving this vehicle now!

I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I have had several problems with the radiator cooling fan relay. I had to replace this part about five times costing me a bout $350.00 (because I take to my won mechanic, otherwise...) each time it has to be replaced. This relay is located in a very difficult place to get to, so the mechanics have have to take a great deal of parts off to get to this relay. This last time the mechanic informed me that in order to avoid replacing the relay so many times I had to replace the radiator cooling fan control module which cost me $692.29. I have spoken to other jeep owners and seems like that everyone has the same problem plus other problems that I have not encountered yet.

I own a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado with power windows. I have put 40k miles on my jeep and have had 3 window regulators go out in that time span. 2 on the RF door and now 1 on the RL door. I have never had a vehicle with so much window problems. I know that this jeep is out of warranty, but I see on the internet that I am not alone and believe that Jeep/Chysler should make a better window regulator. This leaves your jeep open to easier access and maybe even theft. I have made a complaint to Jeep asking that they warranty the last regulator that has broken which I have temporarly held together with vice grips.

Brought my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for service. Got a call from service manager-he told me, among many other things, that my rear breaks were gone. Not only were the pads done (he gave me the measurement) but also my rotors were completely shot. It would be $700.00 to fix the breaks. I responded by telling him I JUST HAD my rear breaks done. He acted surprised. I told him not to touch them. I happened to be a block away so I stopped in. I asked to see my car. We walked back and the mechanic nervously grabbed the rotor and pointing to it he said, see its gone. I looked at it and told him I am not supid there is nothing wrong with the rotor. He agreed. Then I pointed to the BRAND NEW PADS and said and there is nothing wrong with those either.

I too have been having stalling problems with my 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I am scared to drive on the highway because it sputters and stalls suddenly. The problem has not been found. We have replaced the fuel pump, but the problem continues. This recall should be including older models as well as the newer ones. The danger is all the same regardless of the year the Jeep was made. Chrysler should do something about all of the stalling problems. By searching online, I found that Dozens of people have the same problem with their Jeep. Too many people have had the same thing happen while driving- Thank you.

Jeep grand cherokee 2000 stalls for no reason. I can be traveling 65 mph or less or sitting in the drive thru. When it stalls, all power is lost & power steering. Very dangerous as I drive in heavy traffic. Very afraid to get behing the wheel.

My 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee accelerated on its own at a high rate of speed totalling 3 vehicles and damaging 1 other and with the grace of God, not one of the 10 people got injured seriously or killed as the brakes were not able to stop the vehicle in a four-way intersection

I drove my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited to work, where I park in a parking structure. As I pulled into my space, I had my foot on the brake and my hand on the stick to put it in park. Suddenly the jeep accelerated and hit the cement wall in front of me hard enough to have it bounce back and hit again. I hit the brakes repeatedly and hard to no avail. It sounded as if I was in park with my foot on the accelerator. Then it finally stopped. $6200 dollars in damage later. The whole right front end was a smashed up gapping whole. It looked like I was in a head on collision. The kicker, the air bag never went off!!!! Fortunately, I was not injured, and neither was anyone else. I drive this vehichle on a daily basis with my 2 yr old son! I am seriously considering getting rid of this vehichle.

My 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee's rear passenger-side window regulator broke. A new one was installed when I bought it one year ago (10 months ago actually). The part was $250!! It had to come from the dealership. This happens to many, many Jeep Cherokee owners. If their window regulators don't last, they should help pay for repairs even after warantees expire.

I owned a used 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, used because it was my parents car for two years until I bought it off of them. I was also work as a service advisor for Chrysler - Jeep dealership, and used to deal with at least 3-5 people a day, bringing in their vehicles for warped front brake rotors. I had to replace my rotors on my Jeep 4 times in two year and a half years that I owned it, the last time going with an after market product that seemed to solve the problem. I was contacted as part of a class action law suit against Chrysler for the brake rotor problems. I chose not to participate in it, because it was going against my former employer. When I got rid of it, I went to a Dodge Ram 1500, I specifically asked the sales person, a mechanic, and the finance guy if this Chrysler vehicle had problems with their brakes, to which they all answered a confirming No. So after having the truck for 7 months, I had the front rotors replaced at 7K miles, again at 15K miles. at that time, the dealership said that in order to have it covered under warranty, I would have to pay a $50 co-payment, which I did, and they said it would carry a warranty up until 36K miles. so when the brakes started to go again at 24K miles, I decided to deal with the shake and shimmy until it got closer to 36K miles.

I simply wish to echo the complaints of Jeep owners whose vehicles are stalling. My 2005 Grand Cherokee with the 4.7L engine intermittently stalls while braking, coasting, and/or turning. It began a few months after I bought it new and has happened 15-20 times in 2 years. The sudden loss of power steering and power brakes, particularly in the middle of a turn in traffic, can be extremely hazardous to the people in my Jeep and anyone around us. I am unable to reproduce the stalling at will, which means a mechanic has never witnessed it. Since it does not store any codes when this occurs, the dealer hasn't been willing to do any troubleshooting. They just give it back to me assuming there's nothing wrong with it. Eventually, after multiple complaints and visits to the dealer, they attached their Co-Pilot to it, which supposedly monitors all of the vehicles electrical functions. Why this wasn't done initially, I don't know.

I purchase a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and also purchase the extended warranty coverage for $1800 good for 7 yrs/100,000 miles. Less than 2 ears after purchasing the vehicle (~50K miles), the heat stopped working on the passenger side. The dealership told me that they needed to update the software in the HVAC module to fix the heat and that this was not a covered item. Additionally, the vehicle has stalled several times when braking (5-6 times) since I have owned it. I have taken it into the shop for this issue several times and then it recurs. I am concerned because it is a potential SAFETY issue if it stalls in the middle of heavy traffic. I would like to know if there is an investigation of the engines in the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee models.

A couple of months ago, I was driving my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, when it suddenly and violently accelerated, causing me do swerve, dodge and weave, not to hit anything, until I could gain control of the vehicle. The Electronic Throttle Control light was on, while the episode happened. After having the vehicle towed to the dealer, they couldn't find anything wrong with the car. The vehicle had about 5000 miles on it at the time. I refuse to put my children in the car, and after telling that to the man in the service department, he stated that he didn't think the problem would happen again. Not very reassuring. I recently wrote a email to Jeep Corporate, with much of the same information I'm writing here, and they said to go to another dealership. Such crap. I know of 2 other people in my area that have had similar issues with their Jeep. Something is wrong here, and I don't know what to do. I could use the help. Thank you.

I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I've enjoyed very much. However, I am experiencing no heat on the passenger side of the vehicle. Thanks to the internet, I've discovered that this is a very common problem with the early 2000 models. Having owned several cars before this, I am sure that this should not be happening to a car that is only 5 years old. Mechanics are quoting about $800 to repair this problem. I am also being told that this will probably happen soon to the other side of the vehicle.

I have owned my Jeep Grand Cherokee for 1 year, I noticed a few weeks ago that I could hear a wind noise coming through the door. It was a windy day so I didn't think anything about it. But, as days passed, I also noticed that there was a gap between the door and the console. So I made an appointment with my Jeep dealership. After having the car from 9-5 they called an said that it was my fault. That I had opened the door too hard. That I actually pulled the door away from the hinges. Long story short. That is Not a factory default. I guess the car door is supposed to fall off after being opened. I am not impressed with the service or my warranty. I am looking into legal action at this time.
