My wife was driving home from work and lost all power(engine,auxillary functions, etc..) while crossing an intersection. Thankfully traffic was light and she had time to restart the vehicle without incident. However after taking the vehicle to the dealership they could not find anything wrong on the computer. On a lesser note we also have a sun roof that whistles at interstate speed(they have tried to fix that twice)and the automatic transmission jumps or skips gears while it is downshifting(they also found nothing on their diagnostic computer for that.)If you are thinking 2006 Jeep Commander, bad idea.

I own an 07 Jeep Wrangler, 4 door 4x4 with a 3.8 ltr engine. This vehicle has stalled while driving 4 times. 3 times were at highway speeds, once was approx 35 mph. The vehicle shows no signs that the stall is going to occur. Just, all of a sudden, i notice a loss of power, all the warning indicators on the dash are lit. The stall lasts for a couple of seconds, then the vehicle returns to normal operation wi8th nothing being done by me.

I have two Jeep Grand Cherokees LTD. A 2001 and 2002 model. The 2001 model has had 3 window regulator's replaced. The 2002 has had 3 window regulator's replaced. I did some research and found out how to put in a claim to Jeep for reimbursement. They reimbursed me for the 2002 Jeep and are considering the 2001 Jeep. It WORKED! Every dog has it's day I guess.

They want all the original receipts, cancelled checks, work order's, etc. I did not have all the originals but they still honored it. Call 800-992-1997 and get what information you need. This is the Jeep customer service line. They will give you another number to call to file a claim and give you a reference number. I did it online on their website myself.

Jeep Grand Cherokee window regulator's cost about 350.00 to replace. Your window all of a sudden just drops into the door and won't stay up. You either have to tape it or use little suction cups. If you live in a hot area don't use tape as it will damage your paint.

I got my recall notice over the holidays and just now got around to calling to set up an appointment. I talked to TWO local dealers and was told by both that they only get in 5 sets of the ball joints a week and it was first come - first serve and to call back on Thursday 1st thing to hope that I was one of the lucky 5. They BOTH told me that there was NO waiting list. Just keep calling till they could put me in. How nice... so... I called Chrysler who told me it was true that the dealers were only getting 3-5 sets per week per dealer and why didn't I ask to be put on the waiting list.

I explained that I was told there was no waiting list and meanwhile my Liberty with 60,000 was making noise in the front suspension. I asked him who my attorney should contact when I crashed. He became quite helpful after that and got me on the waiting list at TWO dealers. So what do I do between now and the time they call me??? What happened to SAFTEY regulations! I think this will be the last Chrysler I own! Anyone want to buy a used Liberty??? Hey, I have a Sebring Convertible with really low miles for sale too!

RECALL and NO parts available.

I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with 86,000 miles on it. On December 19, 2006, my driver side window would not function. I took it to the dealership and they told me that the window regulator was bad and needed replaced at a cost of 410.70. Since the warranty is expired, this was my cost - I had never heard of a window regulator before this happened and have owned several cars that have never had this problem.

On Dec. 21, 2006, the blower for the heat/defrost/etc. stopped working. I took this to the dealership and found that Chrysler had 900 on backorder and could not tell me when they would be in.

Colorado has had 2 blizzards in the time from the 21st to the 9th of January (I still don't have it fixed because the part isn't in yet). I contacted Chrysler and they were no help. They would not provide me with a rental due to a defective car - I have no heat/defrost and our temperatures have been in the single digits. Their explanation was that my warranty was expired and they wouldn't cover the cost of a rental even if my warranty was in effect. This experience has made me never want to purchase another Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep product again.
