2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee: power window failure

Filed Jul 17, 2017 · Electrical, Steering · 111,569 miles · OH

My 2004 jeep grand cherokee interior lights stay on and windows will not work. Have had this problem fixed 2 times now and it has happened again. On the internet it says it is a flaw in the wiring harness. A black ground wire breaks. Also the vehicle is developing the death wobble where going down the road if you hit a bump the front end shakes violently. Had this same problem on my 1997 jeep grand cherokee. Very dangerous.

I have replaced the rear passenger tail light multiple times. The light will not illuminate with a new bulb. The rear passenger window regulator has become ungrounded multiple times. There is no power on the passenger side of the car. I have spoken to multiple jeep owners with models of the same make and model and they have had the same issue of sorts. I had contacted jeep as well, only to be told the vehicle is old. I purchased the car 9/2007 and within one months time the regulator died and was repaired. The vehicle was 3 years old. The regulator on the same window failed and the taillight began to malfunction.

I have had to replace all 4 window regulators because of a defect. It has cost me over $1200.00 for all 4 to be replaced over time. It seems strange to me that all 4 have had to be replaced and the part cost over $325.00 just for the parts not counting the labor . The window just suddenly falls down and will not stay rolled up. I purchased this car brand new and it has been taken very good care of. I would like to be re-imbursed for all of my expensed considering this cannot be a fluke since all 4 have had to be replaced and no one ever sits in the back so it has not been worn out from use. Please let me know what can be done about this problem. The dealer said this is just and issue with jeeps and they always keep a large amount of regulators on hand. I think this is just a way for jeep to make money on parts and this should not be allowed to continue since the parts are just a piece of plastic and cost over 300.00 per window and we have to have our windows fixed. I would like to be contacted to see if I can pursue a claim to be re-imbursed from jeep.

The window regulator keeps failing in the rear passenger window. It can be rolled down but won't go back up. The most recent time, a 6 year old was in the rear passenger seat and pushed the window button we heard a loud pop and the window dropped in the door. It will not come back up. To replace this part is $400+ and the mechanic said that he sees this problem all the time in '00-'05 jeep grand cherokees.
