2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee latches/locks/linkages problems

“SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I GET A QUACK SOUND WHEN THE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK IS ACTIVATED. INITIALLY BOTH LOCKS WORKED THEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOESN'T LOCK BUT UNLOCKS AND THE DRIVER'S PASSENGER DOOR DOESN'T UNLOCK BUT LOCKS. I DID A SEARCH AND FOUND THIS: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE/TLMUDAEOFDB3HT8FC PAGE WHERE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. APPARENTLY IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MY 2000 LAREDO THAT PRESENTS ITSELF EVERY FEW YEARS AFTER THE FIX. IS THERE OR WAS THERE EVER A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE? *TR”

“STARTED THE CAR AND PULLED AWAY AND WHEN THE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED THE DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR BUZZED LOUD AND IN A 3 WEEK PERIOD THERE ARE 3 OUT OF FOUR DOORS THAT BUZZ LOUD WHEN LOCKED. *TR”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED.

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS JAMMED AND COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.”

“THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. ALL OF THEM MAKE A LOUD "QUACK" NOISE WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK OR LOCK THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE ENTRY OR FROM THE DOOR. THE REAR HATCH CAN NO LONGER BE OPENED AND BOTH PASSENGER DOORS HAVE TO BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY. THE DRIVER DOORS HAVE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF ONLINE BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE IN ORDER FOR JEEP TO STEP UP AND FIX THEIR WRONG DOING? I AM HOPING YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR”
