Jeep grand cherokee fire. I had a fire in my up 2004 jeep . At the time my insurance co fire expert could not find the cause ,only that it started in the cab on the driver's side. The vehicle was burnt too badly too determine the exact cause. We called chrysler and asked for them too investigate. They sent their fire expert out. They would never give us the findings they kept referring us too our insurance co. Now there is a recall on this vehicle for fire cause by the heated seats. We are trying too get chrysler too look at our case again but with no luck.
I received a recall for my jeep for the heating elements in the seats that may overheat and cause a fire. My dealer tells me that it will take over a month for them to get the parts in for the recall. I believe this is too long and I really question jeep's (daimler/chrysler) priorities since they continue to send out new vehicles with the safe elements in them while allowing their previous customers to drive around in unsafe vehicles while waiting for new heating elements to ship.

I lease a 2004 jeep grand cherokee with heated leather seats. Earlier this year the driver side heater went out then I noticed that just the lower back heater came on. One day in february after driving for about an hour and 1/2 I got home and tried to take off my sweatshirt but could not as it was melted to my cell phone case. At first I did not know what had happened then upon later investigation I noticed a burn whole in my car seat that ran up what was apparently the heater wire. I am a paraplegic and if it was not for the cell phone case I could have been burned. My concern is for others like me and due to the severity of the heat which could melt a sweat shirt and a phone case that it potentially could ignite clothing.

My husband and I were in a 2003 jeep grand cherokee, stopped at a stop light and rear ended by a toyota celica traveling about 40 MPH according to the police statement. Our jeep then hit the car in front of us (it was a four car chain reaction collision). The drivers and front passenger seats reclined on impact. Had our grandson been in his child safety seat, his legs would have been crushed, if not worse. Further, the shoulder restraint did not hold on the passenger side, resulting in my head smashing into the dashboard. The air bags did not deploy.
