“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“At 7:20 this morning when I started the Jeep, the headlights and taillights and dash lights did not work. The high beams worked only while I held the switch on. They wouldn't stay on. Turn indicators worked. Drove son to school and came home. Took Jeep manual inside to look up fuses. Discovered there are separate fuses for left and right so I doubted it was the fuse. Decided I would have to take the Jeep to the dealer. When I went back to the garage about 7:35, the lights were on (I had left the switch on by mistake, and the lights on alarm didn't sound when I left the car). …”
NHTSA complaint #10178894, filed 2007-01, 85,000 miles“Driver side brake light not working. After replacing tail light assembly it was noted the bulb socket contact pins were not making full contact thereby creating a short circuit and preventing brake light from coming on. Instrument panel brake light indicator would also come on at times.”
NHTSA complaint #10058381, filed 2004-02, 45,000 miles“I have received numerous summons for faulty taillights. I had the lights replaced twice. The back brakelights are out totally. The nypd seems to familiar with these cases in the 2000 jeeps, the first question I was asked before asking for my license and registration, the police officer inquired about the year of my vehicle. I am really surprised that there has not been a recall on the grand cherokees. I always see the seem issues with the grand cherokees on the road.”
NHTSA complaint #10209246, filed 2007-11“1. Left brake light goes out when low beam lights are on and brakes are applied. 2. Consequences includes getting a fix it ticket or causing rear end accicents. 3. I've replaced both the bulb and the rear lighting unit. I continue to have problems.”
