Several months ago, i get a quack sound when the door lock/unlock is activated. Initially both locks worked then the rear passenger door doesn't lock but unlocks and the driver's passenger door doesn't unlock but locks. I did a search and found this: http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/jeep-grand-cherokee/tlmudaeofdb3ht8fc page where people are having the same issues. Apparently it is a problem with my 2000 laredo that…

Have owned vehicle for 4 years now. Have had problems with the heat not working 3 times now and still have problems (spent over $1,000.00 in this alone) the wires connecting to the blow box get to hot and melt the plug & blow box. When it first starts you can wiggle the wires and it will work for a short period of time. Ultimately you must replace the plug & blow box. Last week i was pulled over getting off the…

2000 jeep grand cherokee heat not working - a common complaint of many jeep owners seeking to file a class-action lawsuit against daimler chrysler jeep. $900 + is beyond absurd to pay to fix this common problem that jeep should have recalled and fixed for free. *tr

I bought a 2000 jeep grand cherokee that had a quacking noise when locking and unlocking in the rear hatch. It finally just quit quacking but along with the silence the mechanism no longer works. Now you can't get in the back hatch. I went online to see how to correct this problem only to find out that it's a common occurrence with this model. I feel like this should be a safety recall as there is no way to get in…

I want to send a complaint about the door lock actuators on our 2000 jeep. I have had to replace 4 of these due to the "quacking" sound that eventually shows up. It is a very annoying sound and besides that the lock doesn't work anymore. You have to manually lock and unlock the door. This is a known problem with the jeep door lock actuators. I am requesting a recall be made for jeep to correct the problem. *tr

They replaced the water pump, couldn't find any leaks, and replaced the oil pump and…
