I bought the 2000 jeep grand cherokee car brand new, one year later we had to have the rotors replaced, six months later we had to replace the brake pads. Six months after that, the automatic door lock on the diver's side started making loud screeching noises whenever you lock and unlock the door, a dealer looked at it and estimated $700 to have it repaired. We've been having fron suspension problems, and the transmission makes a humming sound when it's in reverse. What's next?
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee suspension complaints

Our 2000 jeep grand cherokee has been having rear end problems for the past 1 1/2 years. It started around 45,000 miles and we had a certified mechanic "patch it up in november of 2003. He said it was a regular problem with these vehicles and we would never have the noise go away. The noise has gotten worse and the dealership told us not to drive the jeep anymore before major repairs are done on the ring and pinion gears and pionion bearins, a cost of $1200. Why are these vehicles needing this major work done at all, much less at 45,000 miles ane now 80,000? This should be a recall and fixed by the manufacturer - obviously this is not normal wear and tear - substandard parts or workmanship have to be involved.
I purchased my 2000 jeep grand cherokee in 1999. I have been in and out of the dealer service for repeat major problems. My tire squeaked loudly while driving and after a year of not finding the problem, and fixing what they thought was the problem the left front wheel bearing was replaced and solved that problem. During the problem with the squeak they informed me that the transfer case had a problem and the solution was to drain and refill the 4wd transfer case fluid, I had them complete the service. Also during my cargo door would not open neither would the window, they replaced the latch lift. The next problem was that I was noticing smoke coming from underneath my hood. I brought that to their attention and they notice a fluid leak and had to replace my cylinder head gasket. The smoke was still there after that effort and now my transmission has went out. I need an overhaul transmission that will cost $1800.00 because now it's out of warranty. When I called the dealership they made it seem as if I did not take care of my vehicle. When my jeep needs servicing I always went to the dealership (5 star) so they can help me take care of my investment. Any needed repair that was requested I had done. My jeep only has 57,000 miles on it. The crysler company has most definitely lost a customer.
While traveling on the highway and without prior warning. Vibration is coming from underneath the vehicle. Dealer is aware of the problem.
Power steering pump broke on vehicle. *mr while driving the consumer completely lost the power steering on the highway. The power steering had a kink in the column and could be heard when making a turn. The power steering hose was replaced along with the steering pump. The consumer was informed that the front left tire was bald due to improper alignment. There was a whistling sound under the hood when the vehicle was idled. The water pump and the clutch was replaced due to bad bearing. *scc also the rotors were replaced.
Vehicle pulls to the right. When driving, I constantly have to steer to the left so that the vehicle will go straight.
There are alot of problems with this jeep all witch I have proof of repairs, cam shaft, tires, brakes, alignment and humming at 65 MPH.
Jeep pulls to the right, can't be fixed. Caster camber out of spec. Dealer tried to tell me chrysler designs the vehicle to pull to the right, when I didn't believe that, they told me it was the crown on the road. Nlm
When applying brakes at highway speeds, vehicle starts vibrating and pulsating. Took vehicle to dealer and had rotors redone, problem still exists.
Front rotors have been replaced 3 times/ were resurfaced once, and rear rotors were replaced once due to vibration in vehicle.*ak consumer stated that the pcv valve failed, fuel filter failed, and front shocks leaking fluid and replaced front shocks, also the transmission pan was leaking fluid, wiper blades were replaced.
Steering column vibrates severly when attempting to apply brakes and traveling at speeds above 65 MPH, dealership has examined vehicle, and has failed to remedy problem by replacing brake pads and rotors. *ak dealer recommended replacing rotors, which were warped, and also the brake pads, consumer refused, also left front and rear shock absorbers were leaking, which were replaced.
Jeep is pulling to the right.. Was told "its the crown in the road" by first dealer. Had it taken to another dealer.. Was told the alignment is off. ..so it was corrected.. Still does it. This is an ongoing problem.. These vehicles ablility to hold a straight line is like trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat. Magic..just an illusion that the dealer wants you to swalow up.. Crown in the road my ass.
Vehicle severely pulls to right when driven at highway speeds. Dealer cannot identify the problem.
Rearend makes a howling sound between 55-63 MPH when I am coasting.
This is the 2nd time for the brakes shuttering. Also, always pulls to right
Consumer noticed vehicle pulled very hard to right taken to dealer, and could not fix problem.
While traveling at various speeds vehicle pulls drastically to right.
Vehicle has always pulled to the right. Caster/camber are out of factory specs, but the dealer says there is no way to correct the problem.
Loud whine when driving over 50 MPH, have to yell to be heard, gas gulzzer.
Vehicle has been in for this and other problems. Tires are becoming severely worn. Was told that new ball joint has been installed. Vehicle still pulls right. All tires were cross rotated which evens wear and reduces pull for several hundred miles. I will contact dealer and chrysler direct in attempt to have problem resolved. I am angry that the tires are wearing at an unreasonable rate which will cause pre-mature replacement. I like the vehicle and would like to have the problem(s) resolved so it does not continue to drive to the right. Thank you. Please do not hesitate to call and perhaps leave a message so I might return your call during your work hours. I am a school teacher and cannot talk during class time. Sincerely, e. Meisser.
The vehicle whines and howls due to defective differential. Yh
