general problems of the 2000 Jeep Cherokee

Engine leak bad seat and brake light I need some help please replace rear wipe,.

I noticed my driver's seat wobbling and found that two of the brackets that hold this seat to the floor were broken. The left front bracket broke once before but it was welded about 2 years ago. From what I've seen on the internet, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of complaints regarding this same issue. A recall needs to be issued as this is a huge safety concern for myself and my family as well as others who own Jeep vehicles. Please issue a recall before a fatal accident occurs. Please let me know if there is anything further that I need to do; and I look forward to your prompt response in this regard. Thank you.

Seat bracket on drivers side seat completely broke, seat wiggles and moves.

I was driving my 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport on the highway going 55mph when my drivers seat went back unexpectedly almost causing me to get into an accident. (the problem was the front frame of the seat just snapped, this seems to be a common issue I have just found out that has been going on for a while, Jeep should do a recall on these as this is very dangerouse and I could have gotton killed).

2000 Jeep Cherokee sport airbag warning light illuminates randomly and repeatedly. Not related to actual airbag deployment. It may render airbag unusable. Dangerous condition. Common consumer complaint. All passenger window actuator switches are unusable. Windows will only work at driver panel. Safety issue if passengers have to open windows. Very common consumer complaint. Obd error codes are inaccurate (especially when applying to emission control systems p0441, p0442). Diagnosis often lead to unneeded repairs and costly replacement of sensors and computer without cause. Common consumer complaint. Driver seat support structure breaks. Even when driven only in ordinary driving conditions and not stressed unusually. Must be rewelded or replaced. Seat is no longer structurally safe. Common consumer complaint all of these are design issues and not service/maintenance related.

We own a 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport with approx. 155,000 miles. We bought it used 02/2004. Sometime in June 2010, just a couple of weeks prior to incident, the driver seat began to make a noise while sitting in it, during acceleration, and braking. We could not find the source of annoying noise and just hoped it would go away. On Friday, July 9, 2010 when my husband went to do errands and sat in the seat he said it felt odd and the noise was gone. Happy the noise was gone he went about his business. When I got into the Jeep on Sunday, July 11, 2010 I noticed the seat was wobbling. I got out and looked under the seat. I found the problem. . . . Where the seat attaches to the seat adjuster the metal had ripped almost completely through at the right front bolt. While sitting in the seat it rocks from front left to right rear. The situation calls for immediate action on our part to get it fixed. We are obtaining information (time and cost to fix and amount of time without a vehicle-it's the driver seat not passenger) on welding, new seat, or replacement from junkyard. I am not excited about wanting to use another Jeep seat as I fear same issue will occur. This is our only vehicle. We do not go mudding, four wheeling, mountain climbing, off roading with it. We don't live near a beach or take it to the coastline in order for high salt concentration in air to be a factor. Yes we live in the midwest but salt from shoes cannot reach this part. Of the seat.

I have a 200 Jeep Cherokee sport, 4wd. I also had a 1996 Jeep Cherokee sport, 4wd. Both have the same 2 problems. #1 is a broken drivers seat. The bracket is too small and splits near the bolt holes. You can't drive like this, the current one (2000) started with a small noise when I was exiting the car. The next day it let loose on a bumpy road on a corner. I didn't think much of it the first time with the 1996, which I traded for the 2000, but since it has happened again, I did some research and it is a common problem. . Read more...
