“I have a 2000 Jeep grand cherokee. The driver's side brake light has never worked since I have owned it. I have had it fixed several times but it only works for a day or two. I have been pulled over by the police and had to explain it was the car. I have noticed that Jeep's around the same age as mine almost all have a missing brake light. Almost all are on the driver's side.”
NHTSA complaint #10283533, filed 2009-09, 49,000 miles“We have a 2000 Jeep grand cherokee that has had consistent brake problems. Since 2001, we have had to resurface the rotors six times and the vehicle is experiencing the same problem today. This is not an operator problem, but is a safety problem with the front brakes. I have discussed this wth my mechanic and he says it is a consistent problem with these cars.”
NHTSA complaint #10120046, filed 2005-05, 7,700 miles“Both my 21 year old daughter & myself have experienced loss of brakes on several occasions with my 2000 Jeep grand cherokee Laredo, beginning in 2003. The problem occurs mostly in bad weather(mainly snowy conditions). When stopping is attempted, the car pulsates wildly (coming from the brake pedal), and you just skid out. We both have been lucky enough to avoid collision so far, due to lack of other traffic or by swerving into another lane, etc. …”
NHTSA complaint #10146567, filed 2005-12, 33,081 miles“I bought my wife a 2000 Jeep grand cherokee, and it has shut off while she was driving, putting her in a very dangerous situation, with no check engine light...nothing, low coolant light came on when there is coolant already in the car, check gauges light keep coming on, heater doesn't heat well, the passenger side power door lock does not work, I've replaced the thermostat and the water pump once. And I've had an issue with the vehicle overheating and the fan not coming on and had it replaced. …”
NHTSA complaint #10212862, filed 2007-12, 98,000 miles“Every 10-15,000 miles the brakes in my Jeep grand cherokee 2000 have serious wear which causes them to shake wildly. To date, this has caused no crashes but when I am driving with the brakes like this I worry about what would happen in a sudden stop. I understand that thousands of other owners of Jeep grand cherokees have this problem and worry about all these cars on the road. See related article on class action lawsuit. Several Jeep dealers have admitted to me off the record that this is a manufacture defect but there is nothing they can do. …”
