Example complaints

“Poor design of power window regulator/motor assembly has LED to my lf window to break. I have reviewed many resources online, and found that these jeeps are notorious for this problem. The failure of this device caused a major distraction while driving at highway speeds, like most other people with this problem. Jeep/chrysler needs to stop putting people at risk for such a ridiculous problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10210257, filed 2007-11, 76,000 miles“1) we were going on a road trip to ne tennessee when the windshiled defrost failed. 2) there is no hot air coming out to properly defrost the windshield which affected our visibility in the mountains. 3) took it to the dealership to get an estimate and found out that it was going to cost ~$900. I opted not to get it done since it was so much. I was charged $110 for them to diagnose the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10180987, filed 2007-01, 76,239 miles“One cool morning my 2002 Jeep grand cherokee limited stopped blowing warm air from passenger side vents. Searching for a possible solution to my problem, I come to the conclusion it might be my blend door actuator that has broken. I am unable to afford the repairs ... Dealerships are quoting me almost $1300 to fix. I have done nothing to cause this problem. After reading article from many grand cherokee owners, they have had the same problem. This needs to be taken care of soon.”
NHTSA complaint #10195990, filed 2007-07, 40,000 miles“The dual climate control no longer works in my grand cherokee....when the heat is on the passenger side still gets cold air. I have not fixed the problem and am not looking forward to it....but I will have to soon.”
NHTSA complaint #10208895, filed 2007-11, 49,000 miles“For no specific reason the windows on the Jeep cherokee grand Laredo suddenly drop in their channels and will not come back up. I had a similar failure on a 2000 model previously owned, and now with my 2002 I had the same issue on december 31 2005 with the rear driver side window, and yesterday with the passenger front window. This morning I called Jeep customer service and was given the typical runaround. I have extended warranty and tried to get the deductible ($100 per occurrence) waived and that didn't work either. …”
