I have read that !any people have the same driver's seat issue. The holes for the bolts has been shredded completely and the dealership tried to charge $3,500 to repair it. It's a defect that should be fixed for free. It under the seat, how can the owner destroy that. 2) the head light covers gets this discoloration or grime on the inside decreasing the brightness by 45% at night, this didn't happen in my bronco. I called chrysler and they said the recall # listed online didn't match the format of the numbers in their system to do research. What? This is ridiculous, fix your recalls chrysler!!!

My rear corner brake lights constantly have issues either in the taillight assembly or the bulb installation connection -- I am still not sure where the issue is really. I will replace the bulb and in 3 months or so my brake light is out on one side then a short time later the other side. I can't tell you how many jeeps I see with at least one brake light being out. Also if my lights are on, then both rear brake lights go out. If I turn the lights off, maybe only one brake light will not work. I've had several people tell me when they are behind me that I have no brake lights, which means if they were not paying attention they would have hit me! And as we all know, paying attention is a huge issue today with so many cell phone distractions. I am shocked there is not a recall on the grand cherokee that I can find on my original factory tail lights.

Although no accident yet, I wanted to say that I have never received any notice from fca about the "customer satisfaction campaign" (because although the gas tank hangs under the rear bumper, year 2000 was not included in the "recall" trailer hitch deal). I bought it new and am still living at the same address. I also wanted to note that another issue with the gc is that the brake and tail lights often stop working. The socket gets scorched and you have to go take it apart, pry the contacts up just right and put aluminum foil under them (google grand cherokee brake lights). That works for a while, then you have to do it again. I've been stopped twice in 6 months for it. Sometimes the taillight works but actually goes out when you step on the brake. In any case, having a gas tank prone to exploding when rear ended along with brake light issues is not a good thing. The door locks on the passenger side also cannot be unlocked except from inside the vehicle, while the drivers side have to be locked manually (again, it's all over google. It's called the angry duck for the noise the locks make. I have been waiting for the federal safety agency to make a other announcement about this - the news was they were going to in a week or so, but that was 3 weeks ago.

I have had to replace my right side brake light assembly four times. For some reason, it continues to go bad. This is getting really expensive and inconvenient, as I continue to get stopped by the police for this problem. I've been told that this has been an issue with many of these trucks. I have had this truck for four years.

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the tail and brake lights failed to function. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the sockets and bulbs were replaced but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the manufacturer's recall. The failure mileage was 53,000 and the current mileage was 156,000.

When headlights are on and you step on brakes all rear lights go out. I have now been cited for this twice and warned 3 times. I have had this issue addressed with 2 local mechanics who thought they fixed but yet again this is broken. I am giving all my hard working money in fees for this issue.

I have had ongoing problems with my brake and tail lights. I have replaced the housing, sockets and bulbs. The bulbs overheat and melt the plastic which causes the lights to malfunction. The tail lights will work sometimes but the brake lights may not work when the tail lights are lit. There have been times when the tail lights don't work and the brake lights do even though they are the same bulb. I have seen other jeeps on the road with the same problem and have seen multiple complaints on internet. I've contacted jeep and they claim to have no knowledge of the problem.

The power in doors windows works off and on. There will be no point to lock your door and then you can't unlock the door. The windows sometimes roll down and times they don't. The lighting on the inside of the car comes off and on without being turned on. Happened on its own anytime the car is started and can't be turned off at times. The dash lights don't work sometimes blinkers work off and on any electrical in the inside of jeep is messed up.
