    I'm continuing having to replace the lock actuator on the driver's door & also each door locks on the remaining doors. This has been costly & time consuming and needles to say without a vehicle. Some of my friends have the same concerns regarding the locks. Hopefully i can get ya'll to assist with getting a recall for these locks. Any assistance is appreciative. *tr

    Passenger side front door would not unlock. All doors automatically lock when vehicle speed increases above approximately 15 mph.

    Have been going out to unlock jeep and will not unlock. This is now happening every day where the door will not lock or unlock on the drivers side. I have heard that several other people with the same jeep have the same problem. Now the dome lights will not go on until i close the door and then will not go out. So i am forced to drive with them on and the door unlocked. I don't feel very safe in this anymore. *tr

    I have a 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited. I have had the vehicle since it had 29,000 miles and it now has approx. 81,000. I have replaced three of the five locking mechanisms on the vehicle and now have two more that need replacing. This is not acceptable. The door locks allow for me to open the corresponding door or rear hatch sometimes but most of the time do not allow me to open the door or rear tailgate at all.…
