VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE NO HEAT AND CAN'T DEFROST THE WINDOWS. I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE BENDER BOARDS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $1,200/. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 200 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND AFTER READING MANY SITES (BLOGS, COMPLAINT SITES, ETC.) I SEE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS I AM. MY JEEP HAS 101,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS EXPERIENCING COOLANT LEAKS AND ALSO THE CRACK IN THE CYLINDER HEAD BETWEEN THE 3RD AND 4TH CYLINDER. NOW THE Y WAY I SEE IT, IS THAT IS SOOOOOO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM THEN THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMERS THAT WE ARE SHELLING OUT ALL OF THIS MONEY FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS IN THE VEHICLE DESIGN. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF MY VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A SQUEAK. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE NOT SURE IF THE BOLTS SECURING THE SEAT HAVE LOOSENED OR THE WELDS HAVE CRACKED. ALL I'M TOLD IS BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO REPAIR IT. READING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL. *TR
