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.

Hood latches, all three of them, failed and hood flew up while we were traveling at 60 mph. No crash but one injury and over a thousand dollars to repair the damage to the vehicle. The rear view mirror came off and landed in the back seat. The hood was destroyed as were the three panels where the wipers are located and the support bracket below them. The hinges were hyperextended and had to be replaced. After some investigation I found several reports of similar incidents with this vehicle and others where the same latch assembly was used. Five people could have been killed and I am outraged that I was never warned about this obviously defective latch system.

Insured driver was driving 30 mph when hood flew up and smacked into driver's windshield. Driver was able to stop and avoid striking anything. Driver was informed by shop that hood latch was defective. Driver had duct tape in car so she taped hood down and drove home. $1703. 89 in resulting damages.

As my husband and I were on our way to a relatives last weekend, the passenger side window lowered on it's own. I tried to roll it up with the drivers control, and my husband tried with the passenger control ( which has never worked well) but the window just continued to go down. I had my son look at it and he took everything off including door panel, and speakers, but he was not familiar with Jeep windows and could not determine how to fix it. In the meantime, I have checked out some websites on this problem and found out that this is an ongoing problem with Jeeps. Now it is going to cost me between $250. 00 and $600. 00 to repair . Please do something about this so no one else will have such an unexpected expense.
