2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee: power window failure

Filed Aug 20, 2010 · Locks · 75,000 miles · PA

I am the owner of a 2000 jeep grand cherokee and the door locks are failing. I have two doors that have failed and now the tailgate. I cannot possibly open the tailgate at all. The doors have to be manually opened from the inside. This is a safety hazard especially with small children. In the event of an accident, these doors and tailgate will not open. The tailgate window will not work either. Please notify me of a safety recall on this problem!

Front driver-side window drive actuator broke for the second time. Window won't stay up and will not move up or down. Had to have the whole window motor replaced at a cost of $500.00. The window drive actuator is plastic and apparently breaks frequently. This appears to be designed to fail. This is a defect and should be recalled.

Driving down the road in a rain storm and the front passenger window fell into the door. I took the jeep to the dealer and was told the window regulator failed allowing the window to fall. Regulator was replaced.

The blend and recirculation door assembly in my 2000 jeep grand cherokee limited failed. This leads to a loss of heat and defroster. I live in minnesota so with no defroster this is a huge safety hazard. My windows won't defrost and will suddenly fog up without warning. I can suddenly lose all visibility.

Just disgusted with the number of repairs I have needed to make to this vehicle. In the last six years the following repairs have been done: brakes replaced 3 times and need to be done again door window motor cooling fan, radiator evaporator coils hood lifters-hood will not stay up drivers door clunks starter compressor leaking axle seals and now I have a cracked head on the engine. The jeep just failed out of the blue. Glad I was close to home. This vehicle is a lemon. Buy american again--most likely not. Are our "american" vehicles being built with inferior parts? Or are they programmed to be obsolete within a few years?

Purchased the 2000 jeep grand cherokee in may 2003. I was filling up my car with gas when someone else asked if I ever had problems with my brakes. At that point I didn't. In april 2004, I was driving on the highway and noticed that the car would shake uncontrollably when applying the brakes. Didn't shake as bad in city driving. I went to my local car repair shop and they told me the rotors were warped. Paid to have the rotors spun. Now it's a year later and the car is shaking uncontrollably on the highway. Didn't think I was going to be able to stop from hitting the car in front of me. Now I have done research on the internet and see that this is a known problem and that it is listed in the technical service bulletin from jeep in 2002. This is my family car! I too have had to replace the 2 of my door motors and 1 of my window motors. I can't believe that there are this many complaints and no one is forcing jeep to put a recall on the rotors.
