CREAKING FROM THE DASH SECONDS AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF? AS A RESULT THE DEFROSTERS ON A CAR DO NOT WORK. [XXX]AT JERRY TOYOTA SAID HE FIXED IT WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN JAN.

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A RECALL FOR FRONT SEAT ELECTRIC HEATING ELEMENTS. CONSUMER EXPRESSED DISCONTENT WITH ONE DEALERSHIP AND WAS VERY CONTENT WITH THE WORK DONE BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. *KB THE FIRST DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAD THE PARTS, BUT WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED, SHE WAS INFORMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *JB

LIGHTS WENT HAYWIRE IN THE CAR AS WELL AS THE LOCKS ON THE WINDOWS AND DOORS I.E., ALL OF THE LOCKS DO NOT WORK ON WITH THE REMOTE, THE SIDE MIRRORS DON'T MOVE, AND THE WINDOWS DO NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN. AFTER THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM TO WHERE THEY CANNOT BE SEEN. FROM AN INTERNET SEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT COST $275 TO REPAIR. I TOOK MY CAR IN TODAY FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD $112 TO LOOK AT THE CAR THAT COULD BE USED TOWARDS THE COST OF THE REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET SEARCH THE PROBLEM WILL BE FROM A DAMAGED WIRE IN THE DOOR THAT WILL NEED TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED. *TR

THE WINDOWS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE GARAGE WE NOTICED SPARKS NEAR THE DOOR HINGE. TWO FACTORY WIRES WERE BROKEN AND MAKING CONTACT, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE ARCING. A JEEP MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS DEFECT, AND THAT HE HAS SEEN AT LEAST 2 A MONTH WITH THIS DEFECT. IF ANY FUMES FROM THE FUEL WERE PRESENT YOU WOULD HAVE A FIRE. *TR

ON DECEMBER 12, 2010 AT OR AROUND THE HOUR OF 9:30 P.M. CENTRAL TIME I WAS INVOLVED IN A ONE VEHICLE ROLL OVER ACCIDENT DUE TO POOR ROAD CONDITIONS IN MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I WAS THE SOLE INDIVIDUAL IN THE VEHICLE, AND AFTER THE ACCIDENT I FOUND MYSELF IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS HOWEVER BUCKLED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AT THE START OF THE ACCIDENT. I SUSTAINED A SERIOUS CONCUSSION AND BRUISING TO MY LEFT SHOULDER AND HIP FROM THE SEAT BELT, AS WELL AS OTHER VARIOUS INJURIES. THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT IS MY CONCERN. THE SEAT BELT FAILED DURING THE ACCIDENT IN SOME WAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WITH 107,000 MILES. TODAY, 12/9/2010, THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BRACKET CAME LOOSE. I BELIEVE AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THAT IT IS A MOUNTING BRACKET. SOME OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM. THE SEAT NOW ROCKS WHEN I BRAKE AND ACCELERATE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I GET INTO A COLLISION THE SEAT WILL NOT BE LOCKED IN AND THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT FUNCTION. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BROKEN FOR UNKNOWN REASONS AND , WITHOUT HOMEMADE, PATCHWORK BRACING, FLOPS BACK LIKE A RECLINER. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS REPAIRED BOTH THROUGH OUR LOCAL DEALER AND THROUGH CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY CLAIM THAT THEY CANNOT SECURE THE PART; WE WERE FIRST TOLD BY THE DEALER WE HAD TO PREPAY FOR THE PART, DID SO, AND THEN THEY REPORTED BACK WEEKS LATER THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PART. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR FINANCIAL SITUATION DOES NOT ALLOW US TO SIMPLY PARK THE VEHICLE AND MAKE DUE. THIS IS TRULY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT YOU CAN OFFER. *TR

BLEND DOORS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, DUAL ZONE CLIMATE CONTROLS FAILING. *TR

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO: THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB HOUSING HAS MELTED DUE TO OVERHEATING CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT WORK WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

THERE ARE TWO ISSUES, ONE BEING THE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE DYING ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO A FORWARD OR REVERSE POSITION FROM EITHER REVERSE OR DRIVE POSITION. SECOND IS THE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE SURGING FORWARD JUST PRIOR TO STOPPING. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP JUST PRIOR TO STOPPING AND START A HARD BUT LOAD RUMBLING DUE TO THE BRAKES BEING HELD AND THE VEHICLE WANTING TO DRIVE FORWARD. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY REPAIR SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, AND IT IS VERY WEARING OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS ISSUE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

I OWN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000 MILES ON IT. THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT BRACKET BROKE ON 10/20/2010 CAUSING THE SEAT TO ROCK WHILE DRIVING, ACCELERATING OR BRAKING. THE LEFT SIDE BRACKET IS NOW ALSO CRACKED BUT NOT BROKEN ALL THE WAY ACROSS YET. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IT MAY BOTH LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND CAUSE ADDITIONAL INJURIES TO THE DRIVER. I AM NOW TRYING TO FIND USED PARTS FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND HAVE LEARNED FROM ONE LOCAL USED AUTO PARTS DEALER (631-654-5172) THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY BECAUSE THIS WAS A :"HOT" ITEM. MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS ALSO FOUND IT TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GRAND CHEROKEES. THE SEATS ARE BREAKING WITH NORMAL USE. I HAVE DECIDED TO COMPLAIN TO THE NHTSA AND MY US SENATOR IN THE INTEREST OF PROTECTING OTHERS FROM A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM INVOLVING A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES. THIS SITE CURRENTLY SHOWS 1898 VOTES OF 'YES' IN REGARD TO HAVING A CRACKED SEAT: HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/IVOQ/INDEX.CFM I AWAIT YOUR REPLY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2004 JEEP CHEROKEE, TWICE NOW THE FUSE TO THE FUEL INJECTOR HAS BLOWN WITHIN A MONTH RENDERING THE CAR UNDRIVABLE. GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR CUTS OFF, YOU CANNOT STEER IT, AND THE BRAKES SEEM NOT TO WORK WELL AT ALL, YOU PRACTICALLY HAVE TO STAND ON THEM. THIS NEARLY GOT ME HIT TODAY GOING THROUGH A RED LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL AND BARELY GOT THE CAR STOPPED BEFORE HITTING A TREE. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC, HE CHANGED THE FUSE AND THOUGHT THAT IT WAS OK, UNTIL TODAY. TWO YEARS AGO, THE WIRING TO THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS QUIT WORKING AND HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THAT REPLACED, THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THESE VEHICLES. YEARS AGO, I HAD AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM, GOT STUCK, FINALLY GOT CONTROL OF IT, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NEVER COULD TELL ME WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON AFTER THIS OCCURRING. *TR

MY JEEP WAS PARKED FACING DOWN A HILL IN A PARKING LOT. I WENT TO GET INTO IT, STARTED IT AND THEN EXITED THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS HOT AND I WAS LETTING THE AC GET GOING. AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL AND PROCEEDED TO HIT 2 PARKED CARS , JUMP A CURB THROWING MY SISTER IN LAW OUT AS SHE WAS NOT ALL THE WAY IN THEN CONTINUED DOWN THE HILL UNTIL IT HIT A TREE AND STOPPED.

MY SISTER SUFFERED A BROKEN CLAVICLE, TORN LIGAMENTS IN HER KNEE, SEVERELY BRUISED RIBS AND PELVIS AND MY JEEP IS TOTALED. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM AS I HAVE BEEN DOING MY RESEARCH.

HORRIFIED, AND UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR, I WATCHED AS THE CAR RACED INTO THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE IMPACT, THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL IDLE. I THEN CHECKED THE CAR: CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF, MY HANDS WERE STILL GRIPPING THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LEVERAGE FOR MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY RIGHT FOOT WAS STILL FIRMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO ITS BUMPER AND TAILGATE. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST TWO OF WHICH WERE REPORTED TO YOU EARLIER. IN ALL THREE EARLIER CASES, I WAS ABLE TO BARELY AVOID AN ACCIDENT, BUT NOT THIS TIME. AS NOTED EARLIER, THE JEEP MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY CAUSATIVE PROBLEM. *TR
