“I am concerned that chrysler is not including my effected year Jeep but is leap frogging to the 2002-2007 Jeep libertys. I have the same configuration as the 1993-1998 jeeps. Does not seem fair.”

NHTSA complaint #10520602, filed 2013-06, 190,000 miles

“I bought the car in september 2007..in november I was on the highway and suddenly the car started to overheat had to get it towed to the nearest auto shop where they said the radiator was damaged and had to be changed...couple days later the fan stopped working which also had to be changed. After all the over heating the mechanic told me the engine burned out and also had to be replaced after the fact my car wouldnt start. Had the truck working for a while until april 2008 where my transmission started failing. …”

NHTSA complaint #10256969, filed 2009-01, 98,000 miles

“I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo and I am having issues with the drivers side seat. It has broken and I have fixed it and broken again. I took it to my repair shop for welding an when they took it out they found it was only being held together by fabric. I understand that vehicle parts have a lifespan and some require that they be replaced . The frame of the drivers seat should not be one of them. I'm looking at a $400-500.00 repair that I should not be responsible for. This is a serious safety issue that should have been resolved through a recall. …”

NHTSA complaint #10262631, filed 2009-03, 60,000 miles

“I have a 2000 Grand Cherokee Jeep limited that I purchased new. It was fairly ok until 2003 at about 60k miles. That's when the radiator starting leaking. It was replaced in 2003 and annually thereafter (5 replacements) with the last one in march 2007. Additionally, I have had several water pumps plus replacing the heater core. The dealer says they can't find the cause for the radiators to continue to breakdown every year with less than 10k and under 12 months each time. I believe the Jeep has an inherent flaw in the cooling system design. …”
