The driver's side seat of my 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo became dislodged from the brackets while I was driving. This caused me to loose control of the vehicle and nearly crash into oncoming traffic. I inspected the vehicle on the side of the road and discovered that the rails on the brackets had torn apart. These should be made out of some type of durable metal but they brackets are very poorly constructed and the metal IS not thick enough to handle the wear and tear of regular use. I looked on the internet for replacement brackets but, instead of finding parts, I found a series of complaints by drivers who experienced the same problem with their jeep. This IS a serious problem that was corrected in the newer jeeps but IS still an issue for anyone with jeep model purchased from 1998-2004. *Tr

I too brought a jeep cherokee from a used dealership in 2008, it IS a 2000 4L 6I also, same issues, the week after I brought the car the engine blew, the dealer would not cover it because they sent it to their mechanic shop and of course the mechanic shop said it wasn't the dealers fault, they told me that a rock hit the fan and put a small hole in the engine... I spent close to 1200 getting the engine rebuilt. Car ran for a little while then the check coolant light kept coming on, I had to keep a bottle of coolant in my car and the coolant would run out every 2-3 weeks. Then in oct the engine blew again, my car IS currently parked until I can find a low mileage engine to replace the old one. I do believe that this IS a flaw in the design. Meanwhile I am still paying a car payment and having to work to get money to fix my car...ughhhh. *Tr

My 2000 jeep cherokee laredo has been swapped-it seems to be a simple procedure for ones in my area , the vehicle passes as the one I purchased but several things are different, I would like someone to please look into this matter. I haven't went to the police about this matter, because I need someone with the knowledge and understanding of the specifics in this model/make vehicle to be able to prove what IS going on with the jeeps in my area, I don't want to be driving around in a stolen vehicle that the vin #s have been change on, this vehicle IS not the vehicle I purchased, the man at the dealership even remembers certain things being different than they are now. *tr

I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. I have an anti-freeze leak. I have had it fixed twice. I wish I could tell you what was done but I know very little about cars. I am currently having the problem again. I went on the internet to find out what it could be but all I found was a large number of people who have sunk tons of money into fixing the problem on their 2000 jeep grand cherokees. I am currently adding anti-freeze daily. *Tr

I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. the driver's side brake light has never worked since I have owned it. I have had it "fixed" several times but it only works for a day or two. I have been pulled over by the police and had to explain it was the car. I have noticed that jeep's around the same age as mine almost all have a missing brake light. almost all are on the driver's side. *Tr

I have owned a 2000 jeep cherokee laredo for about 4 years now and I have had trouble with the jeep stalling while driving down the road. I have taken all the steps to getting the problem repaired, I have had a tech put it on a tester, I replaced the parts that the tech told me I needed to replace but still the jeep stalls and now it IS getting worse. I have three children that ride in my jeep everyday to and most of the time from school. I am terrified that it IS going to stall in traffic and my children are going to be injured or worse. If I or a technician cannot figure the problem out what are we supposed to do. In this economy people just cant go out and get a new car. And I cant continue buying parts that I don't need. I feel like chrysler should fix what ever this IS because apparently it IS just a way for parts stores to make money off of people. *Tr

Electrical system failure. windows begin falling down simultaneously, then the vehicle begins shutting off for no apparent reason, then... Your gauges on your dash (speedometer, gas gauge, battery gauge, etc) stop working. Making you unable to tell your speed. Then your vehicle will turn over but not stay crunk. I have spoken with alot of people with jeep grand cherokee's and it has happened to all of them. All jeeps between the year models of 2000 through 2002. *Tr

I have owned my 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo for almost 9 nine years. almost a year ago, the drivers-side seat began to wobble. at first, it was more of an inconvenience. however, soon it became apparent that the seat was really coming off of the base. about a month ago, I took it to southpoint chrysler jeep in austin, texas in order for the seat to be fixed. Before taking it to the dealership, I removed the seat from the base and noticed that where the seat was affixed to the base, the metal had sheared off, rendering the bolts useless. I looked up this up on www.carsurvey.org, and noticed that many others had this issue as well. I believe it IS a safety issue, and that jeep chrysler should have compensated me for this defect. the dealer charged me $ 1,000 (one thousand dollars) to replace the seat base and the base that affixes to the floor. I believe that chrysler should at least pay for the cost of parts, since this could have caused a dangerous situation in an accident. I did not know the extent of the damage of the seat until I removed it. By the time I had taken it to the dealer, there was one bolt that was properly holding it in place, but the others were fairly useless. I also took pictures of the seat base and floor base. I would appreciate any help with this issue. *Tr
