ON A HARD STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY JEEP THE DEALER, AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE A RUSTED BRAKE LINE THAT FAILED WHEN I MADE THE PANIC STOP. I CALLED CHRYSLER, AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WERE NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR PROBLEMS WITH OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES REGARDING BRAKE LINES RUSTING OUT AND LEAKING FLUID CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. CHRYSLER REPLIED THAT SINCE MY JEEP WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RUSTED BRAKE LINE. THIS IS NOT ONLY A FINANCIAL ISSUE, BUT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO NOTIFY OTHERS OF THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I AM WRITING TO YOU ABOUT A TWO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. FIRST, THE DOOR LOCKS ARE ALL STARTING TO FAIL. WITHOUT WARNING THEY FAIL TO OPERATE AND YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK THEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF A RESCUE WORKER CAN NOT GET INTO MY VEHICLE TO RESCUE MY CHILDREN. SECOND THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO FAIL INTERMEDIATELY. THIS COULD CAUSE A GRAVE ACCIDENT KILLING ME OR MY CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TALK TO TWENTY TO THIRTY JEEP OWNERS OF THIS SAME MODEL AND APPROXIMATE YEAR AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. YOU HAVE TO GO TO THIS WEB SITE; P://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/VIEWMORECOMMENTS_REVIEW_33943_4.HTML . THIS SITE LISTS OVER 700 COMPLAINTS, MOST OF THEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS AND BRAKE LIGHT. THESE PARTS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE TO HAVE SUCH A NATIONWIDE OUTCRY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE PROBLEMS AND CHRYSLER RECALL ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. *AK
