2000 Jeep Laredo

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DIAL ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DISPLAYED EXCESSIVE OVERHEATING. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE RELAY (PART NUMBER 5017491AB). EVERY YEAR SINCE THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE HAS RECURRED AND MUST BE REPAIRED AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP LAREDO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN HIS VEHICLE, ANOTHER VEHICLE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH CRASHED INTO HIM HEAD-ON. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. THE CONTACT HAS A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT AND PICTURES OF THE FAILED INCIDENT. THE VIN AND SPEED WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 300,000.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO FOR ALMOST 9 NINE YEARS. ALMOST A YEAR AGO, THE DRIVERS-SIDE SEAT BEGAN TO WOBBLE. AT FIRST, IT WAS MORE OF AN INCONVENIENCE. HOWEVER, SOON IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE SEAT WAS REALLY COMING OFF OF THE BASE. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I TOOK IT TO SOUTHPOINT CHRYSLER JEEP IN AUSTIN, TEXAS IN ORDER FOR THE SEAT TO BE FIXED. BEFORE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I REMOVED THE SEAT FROM THE BASE AND NOTICED THAT WHERE THE SEAT WAS AFFIXED TO THE BASE, THE METAL HAD SHEARED OFF, RENDERING THE BOLTS USELESS. I LOOKED UP THIS UP ON WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG, AND NOTICED THAT MANY OTHERS HAD THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THAT JEEP CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE COMPENSATED ME FOR THIS DEFECT. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $ 1,000 (ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS) TO REPLACE THE SEAT BASE AND THE BASE THAT AFFIXES TO THE FLOOR. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD AT LEAST PAY FOR THE COST OF PARTS, SINCE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN AN ACCIDENT. I DID NOT KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE OF THE SEAT UNTIL I REMOVED IT. BY THE TIME I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, THERE WAS ONE BOLT THAT WAS PROPERLY HOLDING IT IN PLACE, BUT THE OTHERS WERE FAIRLY USELESS. I ALSO TOOK PICTURES OF THE SEAT BASE AND FLOOR BASE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT PURCHASED TWO FRONT TIRES. AFTER THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED, BALANCED, AND ALIGNED, HE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE LOOSE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ROTORS FAILED. THE ROTORS NEED TO BE RESURFACED AND THE BRAKE LINE SHOULD BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,606 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,801.

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. MY JEEP HAS SHUT OFF ON ME THREE TIMES THIS WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME MY CRUISE WAS SET AT 65MPH, IT KICKED OFF THE CRUISE AND THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED IT GOT BACK UP TO 65MPH AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN NOT 2 MINUTES LATER. IT DIDN'T RESTART AGAIN FOR ME THAT MORNING. MY FIANCE WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND HE DROVE IT HOME AS IF THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM. TODAY (2 DAYS LATER) WHILE COMING AROUND A CORNER IN TOWN THE VEHICLE STALL AGAIN, BUT THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP THIS TIME AND I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES STOPPING THE JEEP IN THE ONCOMING LANE TO AVOID AN OFF ROAD ADVENTURE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC, BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS? WHAT IF THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DOING 65MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY? I USE TO LOVE THIS VEHICLE, BUT NOW IM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, I JUST GOT THE JEEP OUT THIS AFTERNOON BECAUSE THE PASSENGER WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR AND BROKE. MY NEW WINDOW IS NOW BOLTED TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE EXTRA COUPLE HUNDRED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR THAT WAS COMPLETELY TORE APART WHEN THE WINDOW CAME DOWN. WHAT'S NEXT? *TR

JUST RECENTLY MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK THEM UNLESS THE DRIVER GOES INSIDE FIRST. THE DRIVER MUST HIT HIS/HER LOCK THEN REACH OVER AND PULL ON THE LOCK TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN TRYING TO EXIT THE CAR, THE DRIVER MUST HIT THE LOCK MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER SIDE TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE TO DO THIS FOR BOTH PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. THIS IS A CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THE PASSENGER CANNOT GET OUT THEN IT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS PROBLEMS. I KNOW I HAVE TALKED AND READ COMPLAINTS BY MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2000 JEEP CHEROKEES AND IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT A RECALL BE ISSUED AND HOPEFULLY SOON BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS OCCURS TO SOME INDIVIDUAL. THANK YOU. *TR
