2001 Jeep Cherokee equipment problems

“A YEAR AGO AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOW SWITCHES ON PASSENGER'S SIDE, FRONT AND BACK, STOPPED WORKING WHEN PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR INTERIOR LIGHT DID NOT GO ON WHEN DRIVER'S DOOR WAS OPEN. ON OCCASION, DOOR LIGHT WOULD GO ON MAKING EVERYTHING OPERATIONAL. THIS WAS SHORT-LIVED EACH TIME. RECENT ITEM ABOUT A GM RECALL LISTED THIS SAME PROBLEM, STATING IF THE CIRCUIT BOARD INSIDE DRIVER'S DOOR GOT WET, IT COULD CORRODE THE CIRCUIT BOARD, POSSIBLY CAUSING SMOKE OR FIRE. MY CONCERN IS A SAFETY ONE. WAS THERE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, PURCHASED BY A RELATIVE IN 2001 AND TRANSFERRED TO ME IN 2007. *TR”

“DUAL SIDE HEATING AND AIR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. PASSENGER SIDE IS ICE COLD CONSTANTLY, WHILE MY DRIVER'S SIDE IS WORKING PROPERLY FOR NOW, BUT FOR HOW MUCH LONGER? AFTER A LOT OF READING OF OTHER ARTICLES, THERE SHOULD MOST ABSOLUTELY BE A RECALL, ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY TO GET IT FIXED, THEN I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. *JS”

“DON'T BUY A JEEP! PIECE OF JUNK. SINCE I HAVE OWNED MINE THE FOLLOWING HAS BROKE RADIATOR, SEAT TRACK, POWER WINDOW MOTOR, BRAKES, BLOWOUT, TRANSMISSION, HEADLIGHT COVERS DULLED, MULTIPLE REAR LIGHT OUTAGES, INSIDE LIGHTS OUT. *TR”

“TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A PIECE OF PLASTIC HAS MELTED INSIDE THE AIR CONDITIONER WHICH CAUSED IT FROM OPERATING PROPERLY. THE DUAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND THE CONTACT HAS NEITHER AIR CONDITIONING NOR HEAT. THE REPAIR ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.”

“OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS MY POWER WINDOWS SLID DOWN. ONE LEFT REAR A FEW YEARS AGO SLID DOWN AS WE WERE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. RT PASSENGER SIDE DOWN ABOUT A YEAR LATER. JANUARY 2ND MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DID THE SAME. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE REGULATOR, IT WOULD BE 300.00 TO FIX IT, HE SAID YEP THAT'S COMMON IN JEEPS. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS A 2002 JEEP, SAME PROBLEM WITH ALL FOUR.... I'M A SINGLE MOTHER, SINGLE GRANDMOTHER THAT CANT SPARE THAT KIND OF MONEY. YESTERDAY 04/14/2009 I WALKED OUT TO MY JEEP TO DISCOVER THE WINDOW WAS DOWN. THOUGHT WOW I DON'T REMEMBER LEAVING MY WINDOW DOWN BECAUSE I HAVE SOUND EQUIPMENT I WOULD HATE TO HAVE STOLEN. IT WAS CHILLY OUT THAT MORNING, TRIED TO ROLL IT UP.... GUESS WHAT? NOW ALL OF MY POWER WINDOWS ARE BROKEN DUE THE REGULATORS. FUEL PUMP, AND INJECTORS ARE MY PROBLEM TOO. OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!! LET ME ADD THE HEATER CORE TO THAT. I LOVE MY JEEP... I TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT, IT LOOKS BRAND NEW. THE OIL IS CHANGED WITH THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY AND ON TIME EVERY TIME IF NOT SOONER. *TR”

“TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED DURING THE WINTER AND THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY FAILURES AT THE TIME. ONCE THE SUMMER BEGAN, HE NOTICED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT PRODUCING COLD AIR. DURING THAT SAME SUMMER, HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY FOUND NO FAILURES OR LEAKS, BUT ADDED FLUID TO THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. THIS REPAIRED THE FAILURE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SUMMER. THE FOLLOWING YEAR, THE FAILURE RECURRED. A PRIVATE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY FAILURE AND ADDED LIQUID TO THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AGAIN. THIS REMEDY LASTED TOWARDS THE END OF THE SUMMER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED THE FOLLOWING YEAR. THE FLUID ADDED TO THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM ONLY REMEDIED THE FAILURE FOR NO MORE THAN FOUR WEEKS. THE CONTACT COULD NO LONGER AFFORD TO KEEP GOING BACK TO THE MECHANIC. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SHOP THAT REPAIRS AIR CONDITIONING IN VEHICLES AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATION IN THE AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE…”
