2000 Jeep Laredo

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE PURCHASED IN 2002 I BELIEVE. I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF FORUM ABOUT OWNERS WITH SAME CAR HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE POWER LOCK GO BAD AFTER A FEW YEARS, ALSO THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT SEEM TO HAVE SOME BURN OUT ISSUES PREVENTING THE LIGHTS FROM WORKING PROPERLY. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE FRONT TWEETER SPEAKS ARE OFTEN BLOWN. IN MY CASE BOTH MY REAR DOOR POWER LOCK ACTUATORS WENT BAD AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND HAVE TO GET OUT MY CAR AND OPEN THE REAR DURING BY PLACING MY HAND THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE OTHER REAR DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE USING THE POWER LOCKING FEATURE ON THE KEY. NEXT MY CAR CAN'T PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE TAILLIGHT IS OUT. IT WORKS FINE AT TIMES BUT WHEN I STEP ON THE BREAKS IT CAUSES ALL THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ON AND OFF. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS MANY TIMES. AFTER REVIEWING SOME FORUM AND GOING TO A MECHANIC I WAS TOLD MY LEFT TAIL LIGHT HAS A SHORT IN IT. I WILL NEED A NEW ONE. NEXT MY FRONT SPEAKERS HAVE BLOWN. THE COST FOR EACH PART NOT INCLUDING LABOR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS -- $98 TAILLIGHT -- $171 TWEETER -- $68.86 A PIECE AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEN I CHECK ON SOME JEEP FORUMS AND FOUND OUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. ABOUT 144 COMPLAINTS.

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. THE CAR DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS DUE TO WORN ROTORS, WHICH WE HAVE NOW REPLACED 3 TIMES: ONCE IN MARCH OF 2003 AT 10,872 MILES, ONCE IN JULY OF 2004 AT 23,721 MILES AND NOW IN DECEMBER 2005, AT 33,081 MILES. THE FIRST 2 TIMES JEEP PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT, THE 3RD THEY REFUSED. THE SERVICE DEPT. IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY HAVE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, EVEN WITH THEIR OWN VEHICLES...JEEP REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION. IT HAS BEEN SHEER LUCK THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID A CATASTROPHE; MY DAUGHTER IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. THERE IS A WEB SITE WITH A CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT PENDING AND APPROXIMATELY 20 PAGES OF THE SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINT...THE ROTORS ARE TOO THIN, THEY WEAR OUT EASILY, THEY BRAKES PULSATE & FAIL. CHRYSLER CAN NOT SAY THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM! *NM

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AND WERE REPLACED, 11400 MILES LATER, BRAKE BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT BRAKES NEEDED REPLACED AGAIN, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT JEEP USES A SOFTER METAL THAT DID NOT LAST, CONSUMER ALSO STATES THAT THERE IS WATER LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR FROM UNDERNEATH THE DASH WHEN AIR CONDITION IS ON, DEALER ORDERED AN INSULATOR FOR THE EVAPORATOR. *SLC
