The contact owns a 1996 N/A Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE). The local dealer was contacted; however, the dealer refused to perform the recall repair due to the age of the vehicle. The contact stated that there was only one Jeep dealer in the local area. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
FOR SAFETY, MODIFICATION OF REAR END OF JEEP TO PREVENT A FIRE. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. *TR
THE IN-DASH HEATER/AC BLEND DOOR IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING AIR FLOW NOT TO BE PROPERLY DIVERTED BETWEEN LOWER DASH VENTS, DASHBOARD VENTS AND DEFROSTER VENTS. THIS IS CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHEREBY THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT CLEAR IN RAINSTORMS AND WILL NOT STAY DEFROSTED IN WINTER DRIVING. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND ALONG WITH DISCUSSIONS WITH A LOCAL DEALER WORKING WITH JEEPS FOR MANY YEARS HAS LED ME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A LONG-KNOWN AND VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. PRICES TO REPLACE THIS BLEND DOOR HAVE RANGED FROM $1000 TO $1500 DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A VERY LABOR INTENSIVE REPLACEMENT. I CONTACT CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT YOU TO IDENTIFY THIS SAFETY CONCERN SO THAT PERHAPS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) COULD BE ISSUED AND CHRYSLER WOULD ADDRESS THE DEFECTIVE BLEND DOOR FOR CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *JS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT ADJUSTER FAILED. THE SEAT SHIFTED WHILE HE WAS DRIVING 55 MPH AND HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ADJUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THE PART WAS BACKORDERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.
MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FRONT DRIVER SEAT TRACK HAS BROKE AND BEEN REPAIRED AND BROKE 3 TIMES NOW IN A YEAR. IT STARTED OUT AS LITTLE WOBBLE LIKE BOLT LOOSE, WHICH IS WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS. MY MECHANIC PULLED THE SEAT OUT AND FOUND THE CRACK AND BROKEN METAL. TOOK IT TO AND CERTIFIED WELDER AND HAD IT WELDED. HE TOLD MY THE METAL WAS CHEAP AND THAT HE HAS WELDED 3 OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE LAST TIME HE WELDED IT FOR ME HE ADDED SOME METAL WHICH LASTED 6 MONTHS BEFORE BREAKING IN ANOTHER SPOT. NOW I JUST HAVE THE BACK WEDGED UP WITH BLOCK OF WOOD AND HAVE NO ADJUSTMENT IN MY SEAT ANYMORE. TALKED TO DEALER AFTER FIRST BREAK AND WAS TOLD THEY NEW OF SOME PROBLEM BUT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTIES OR NO RECALLS. NEW REPLACEMENT TRACK ARE EXPENSIVE AND MADE THE...
SEATS BUSTING OFF IN JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BOTH SIDES WAS RIDING IN A 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE THE DRIVERS SEAT BUSTED TIPPED BACK DURING ACCELERATION FROM STOP. *TR
DOOR ACTUATOR, OVERHEATING, TRANSMISSIONS SLIPPAGE (OR NOT WANTING TO SHIFT AT TIMES), TAIL LIGHTS, COOLING, HEATING (OR LACK OF). *TR
I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED AND THIS IS THE SECOND THAT I HAVE WORKED ON AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS WIRING HARNESS SEEM TO MELT ON THE BULBS AND I THINK OVER TIME THIS COULD BECOME A BIG RISK OVER TIME. THE HARNESS IS VERY HARD TO REPLACE AND I DON'T THINK MANY PEOPLE WOULD NOTICE CAUSE OF THE LOCATION. I HAVE BEEN BURNED BY THE HOT RUBBER TYPE PLASTIC. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE LIGHTS OVER THE YEARS AND EVERY TIME IT JUST GETS WORST. ONCE ON MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO THE LIGHT HOSING WAS BURNED. *TR
