I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT I BOUGHT IN AUGUST 2009, THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH BOTH, MY DRIVERS SEAT IS BROKE. I AM A MOTHER OF 2 SMALL KIDS AND FIND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME JEEP HAVE BROKEN SEATS AS WELL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS YEAR JEEP. THESE SEATS NEED TO BE FIXED. *TR

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE FRAME UNDERNEATH MY DRIVER'S SEAT HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN CAUSING THE SEAT TO BE LOOSE AND TILTED. THE SEAT'S FRAME BENDS OVER TIME AND EVENTUALLY BEGAN TO TILT MORE AND GET MORE LOSE AS THE FRAME BENT EACH TIME I SAT DOWN. EVENTUALLY THE FRAME COMPLETELY BROKE, WHICH RESULTS IN MY DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT TO BE VERY 'WOBBLY,' THE JEEP DEALERSHIP QUOTED THIS AT A $700 FIX, JUST BECAUSE THEY USED A LIGHTER, CHEAPER FRAME TO REDUCE VEHICLE WEIGHT. *CN

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO THE 4.0 LITER 6 CYLINDER ENGINE STARTED USING COOLANT AND CAUSING THE COOLANT LIGHT TO ALARM. THE OIL PRESSURE WOULD DROP TO "0" AND SOUND THE CHECK GAUGES ALARM. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC SHOP FOR COSTLY REPAIRS AND TROUBLESHOOTING. THEY REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, COULDN'T FIND ANY LEAKS, AND REPLACED THE OIL PUMP AND REAR MAIN SEAL. THEY CHECKED THE BEARING CLEARANCES AND FOUND THEM WITHIN TOLERANCE. THE CAR IS STILL USING ONE TO TWO PINTS OF COOLANT EVERY THREE DAYS AND THE OIL CONTINUES TO DROP TO "0" AFTER WARM-UP. WE REPLACE THE 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES AND ROTORS EVERY TWO YEARS. THE HOOD GAS SHOCKS WON'T HOLD THE HOOD UP AND THE SHOCKS COST $150 A PAIR FORM THE DEALER AND ONLY LAST ONE YEAR. WE TO HAVE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS THAT SCREECH AND DON'T LOCK THE DOORS AS WELL AS REAR LIGHT PROBLEMS THAT WORK OFF AND ON. THE EMISSIONS ARE MUCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL ON OUR RECENT SMOG TEST. THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THE #3 AND 4 CYLINDER IS USING THE MYSTERIOUS ANTIFREEZE LOSS. AS A RETIRED MECHANICAL ENGINEER I ALSO BELIEVE THE OIL PROBLEM TO BE RELATED. MY WIFE HAS THE GRAND CHEROKEE AND I PURCHASED A TJ WRANGLER NEW IN 2000. I'M CONCERNED THIS VEHICLE WILL DEVELOP THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVING THE SAME ENGINE. WE HAVE INVESTED OVER $50 THOUSAND IN THESE TWO CARS. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO HELP US OFFSET THIS BURDEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS BROKEN FREE FROM IT'S TRACKS 3 TIMES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST REPAIR I HAVE HAD TO MAKE. THE BACK FRAME OF THE DRIVER SEAT SNAPPED WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES AND ALMOST BROKE MY BACK. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, AS MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A DEATH TO FIX A FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF COLLECTIVE DEFECTS? THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT, WHY NOT PUT SOME OF THAT MONEY TO GOOD USE INSTEAD OF CHRYSLER EXECS POCKETS!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. RECENTLY THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE AT 2 POINTS. I ENDED UP LOSING CONTROL AS I WAS ROCKED INTO THE BACK SEAT AS I WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE. I DID AVOID HITTING ANYTHING BUT THIS SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME. I NEVER HAD A CAR THAT THE FRAME HOLDING THE SEAT IN PLACE WAS SO POORLY MADE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT MOUNTS BROKE AND THE SEAT BRACKET IS CRACKED. ALSO THE BACK RECLINING WILL NOT ADJUST. I HAVE TO PUSH IT FORWARD MANUALLY WHILE PUSHING ELECTRONIC BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE TO KEEP WOOD BEHIND SEAT TO SUPPORT IT, BUT IT STILL ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE. EVERY TIME I DRIVE I RISK FALLING BACK IT'S SCARY BUT TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND EVEN WITH THE$1500 PRICE TAG THERE'S WAITING LISTS FOR PARTS. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE READ OVER 1000 COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE JUST TODAY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO START THE CAR IS SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE RESOLUTION TO IT. IT'S A TREMENDOUS SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL HIGHWAYS. THE CAR ATTEMPTS TO TURN OVER WHILE TRYING TO START IT HOWEVER NONE OF THE GAUGES ARE RESPONDING TO THE KEY IN THE IGNITION DURING TURN OVER. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS FORUMS WITH MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO EVERYTHING FROM SENSOR'S TO PCM ( MAIN COMPUTER ) TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN MY CASE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM ISN'T STORING ANY CODES WITH A PROBLEM. INITIALLY I CHANGED THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR BECAUSE OF THE CODE BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE BECAUSE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS SHUT DOWN THERE IS NO POWER STEERING MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GLIDE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. *TR
