2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited review from North America
"I was shocked at the cost for the 30,000 miles. service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Power Mirror on Drivers side often loses it's adjustment and points toward ground when car door is opened with the remote.
Vibration while braking.
Fuel gauge reads incorrectly showing a greater amount of fuel than is actually in the tank.
Growl heard in front end while turning right.
Extremely long crank time to start engine.
General comments?
I researched the following technical service bulletins on Alldata. com for my vehicle and brought the list to the Jeep dealer.
The dealer told me that the mirror points to ground because I do not know how to program the mirror correctly so they did it for me. However, that did not solve the problem and the memory only holds intermittently and at times the drivers side mirror still points to the ground. I cannot find a TSB regarding the mirror memory problem, although there should be one as there are other complaints.
There was a technical service bulletin #05-005-01A issued Sept. 2001 regarding brake pulsation. At 23,000 miles., the dealer replaced the front brake calipers and rotors free of charge.
The dealer replaced the fuel sending unit free of charge to correct the incorrect fuel gauge reading. The dealer said there is a TSB on that, but I do not see it on the Alldata listing.
There was a technical service bulletin #19-06-00 issued Sept. 2000 for front end growl or honk in right turns. Dealer replaced the steering gear box free of charge per TSB. at 24,000 miles.
The was a technical service bulletin #14-002-01 issued May 2001 for the fuel pump-Long cranking time to start engine. Dealer replaced the fuel pump at 24,000 miles. free of charge.
