I've always had trouble with my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Especially with the fuel system and fuel pump. I've had to replace my fuel pump 3-4 times. Now its reading the rpm extremely high. I've also had to replace my Jeep's computer because I was told that was the problem. It seems there's also electrical issues. I still can't find the exact problem.

I've had problems on and off with the power windows, door locks, interior lights and stereo system. The power windows/door locks do not work. Unless I turn the interior dimmer light switch to the off position, the lights stay on. When this is done, I cannot see the displays (I. E. , speed, etc. ). The stereo system will play and the cd player works; however, I cannot see the display at all --- channels, track #s, etc. All of these issues, except the stereo system, create driving hazards.

I purchased this vehicle September of 2013 and although I love this vehicle there is one thing that is so not right about it also. In the beginning the windows, door lock and electric windows would stop working then all of a sudden they are again. This vehicle was equipped with the most inadequate electric door unlocking system. There is this very thin wire very thin wire attached to this heavy metal thing that just sits in window. The wire comes apart so easy and it should not. Now that I have owned the vehicle for almost a year now the problem has become worse over the months. You use to be able to open and close driver door and right away everything would start working again. Now that it is hot outside I can not get it to work at all my windows stayed rolled down I can't adjust my mirrors and my electric door locks dont work for driver door. I feel that this is a safety hazard in so many ways. I have researched this this is common problem with all.

No power to windows, locks and mirrors on doors. There is a wire on the inside of the drivers door that splits in half for no reason preventing anything on the doors to work. I cannot open any windows, un/lock any doors, or adjust my mirrors. This has not been recalled but is a very common problem with this vehicle. I feel this is a safety hazard.

Lights went haywire in the car as well as the locks on the windows and doors I. E. , all of the locks do not work on with the remote, the side mirrors don't move, and the windows do not move up or down. After the headlights are on, the interior lights dim to where they cannot be seen. From an internet search, this is a common problem that cost $275 to repair.

According to the internet search the problem will be from a damaged wire in the door that will need to be repaired/replaced.

The windows and interior lights stopped working. When we pulled into the garage we noticed sparks near the door hinge. Two factory wires were broken and making contact, which was causing the arcing.

Dealer (moothart Jeep/cerritos Dodge) has inspected but finds no "fault codes" and as a result takes no action. They and Chrysler 800 line's answer is 'wait for it to quit completely and tow it in".

I have on two occassions had my door locks and windows stop operating. The first time a wire was found to have cracked in half inside a protected area of the drivers door. This cost $300. 00. I became such a headache to the Chrysler corp. They refunded me $250. 00. The second time we experienced this same problem the dealer found the same wire in a different location under the glove box had just broken in two. This cost me again and Chrysler would not help. I have seen this same complaint on this same vehicle on this site. There is a problem that must be studied because of the possible fire hazard. Another problem we have had is an intense gas odor towards tge rear of the vehicle. The vehicle has been checked many times an no one can find the problem, the odor is very intense at times.

The interior lights stayed on. And all guages on dash were moving irratically. After google searching, I found that several people with the 2004 cherokee have problems with wires in the driver door breaking. We checked the wires in the driver door boot and the black wire was broke. Fixed that problem. Now the wires in both front and and rear doors driver and passenger are broken. Rear speakers do not work, windows do not roll down, and doors do not lock. Sensor for interior light on rear passenger door do not work. Window is partially down and no way to put back up. My driver seat is making a rocking movement that just recently started. This is the worst vehicle I have owned by far. I have never had to replace all that I have in a vehicle. This year and model Jeep has alot of issues that Chrysler doesn't want to aknowledge. They need to be investigated further. I just called the customer service for Jeep and they said there are no recalls for my Jeep, and they have never had any complaints that I told them about. Do they just ignore the consumer or not want to admit their errors in this model.

: the contact stated while parked and running with the seat belt unbuckled, the heater was turned on for the passenger seat and within 10 to 15 seconds, the seat caught on fire. The heater was turned off, and both occupants sustained minor injuries. The service dealer was contacted, but could not identify the problem.

The blend doors on the hvac system do not always function and will blow cold air in the winter and hot air in the summer. This happens when the "auto" mode is activated. 1999-2004 long history of failure and afraid that if I continue to use mine will also fail and will either have to repair myself with approx 8 hours of labor and of course the price of the repair unit or have to pay even higher price to Jeep (Chrysler) to have a known defect repaired at my cost.
