2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Equipment Problems

“The car came with an ipod connector located in the glove box. This feature was not an upgrade that I purchased after I bought the car, it was a feature that came with the car. This feature was also a feature that was very important to me and one of the sole reasons I purchased this edition of the Jeep.

About two weeks later the uconnect system went out again. …”

“2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee - I have had surfboards cause the factory roof rack to actually tear through the metal roof due to having no reinforcement around the bolts that attach the factory roof rack to the roof of the car.

They told us the blend-door actuators went out and that it was a very common problem on Jeep grand cherokees ranging from 1999-2004. We are currently getting the problem fixed and are extremely upset that there has not been a recall for this very costly issue. …”
