I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The brake lights and tail lights are continually going out and have been replaced numerous times. I have been pulled over a number of times after having the lights fixed only to find out again that they have gone back out.

The vehicle brake lights keep going out. One goes out, then eventually the other one goes out. We have changed both light assembly and bulbs; they last for a while then, eventually goes out again. This problem is compounded by the inconvenience of being pulled over for the problem multiple times and not to mention a huge safety factor. The expense to replace the light components/and or repair has been in the thousands of dollars over time. The last time we had it in for a repair they changed the harness assembly and the repair shop said that this is a very common problem with Jeep of this era.

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 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 express way and a guy stopped me and told me I had no tail lights or brake lights. Again this was another electrical problem. This was very dangerous as I could have been in a serious accident. The tail gate sticks and will not open.

Both tail light assemblies stopped working and was cited by a police officer. Replacement was ~$500. Rear lift gate lock actuator is broken, so cannot open lift gate. Right rear door lock will not allow opening from inside. Shift sensor/solenoid has gone bad twice leading to problems with shifting from gears (revs really high before shifting). Rotors are constantly becoming warped and brakes have to be readjusted. Left blinker no longer works and to fix it, the dealership told me they have to replace this entire engine block for about $800. Power window lock no longer works. Other than that, car runs great :).

My car has major problems and I can't afford to fix, then I find the problem that I have is due to the automaker's problem because the car is on recalls for the problems I am having. I received no notices on any recall, and when I got on the web-site to check for recalls there are as many as 10 major problems with my car and Jeep. Some could cause me to crash or even explode while driving. Where are my recall notices?

I was on my way home from work and followed by a police officer. He pulled me over to give me a citation for an equipment violation. It appears whenever I hit my brakes my driverside taillight went out instead of illuminating further. I had once been told of this before but everytime I checked they worked (always with my lights off). And I have replaced the bulb a few times. I have now done some testing and it appears the housing is faulty. My mom has an 04 Liberty with the same problems as well as my sister in laws 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. This obviously is a faulty design and needs to be corrected by the manufacturer. I should not have to pay both my ticket and the cost to fix the issue, when it's an issue of faulty manufactured equipment.

Door actuator, overheating, transmissions slippage (or not wanting to shift at times), tail lights, cooling, heating (or lack of).

I am the owner of a 2000 Jeep Cherokee grand Laredo and every since I bought this truck the brake lights/ tail lights haven't worked properly. I have replaced the bulbs several time but they continue to not work. I contacted the local dealership and I was told there isn't a recall on them and if I wanted to get them fixed it would be out of my pocket. I have yet to see a Jeep around town that had all the lights, brake or tail lights working.

Passenger side brake light constantly fails on 2000 model Jeep Grand Cherokee. The part has been service between 5 and 10 times and continues to fail less than 24 hours later. The failure is only noticeable when the head lights are on and the brakes are activated. I have been pulled over by the police twice for this but was able to avoid a ticket by showing the numerous repair receipts and explaining the situation. On one of the occurrences, all rear lighting completely failed except for hazard lights (which I had to use for safety). I don't know if it was related to the original problem since my service provider can't diagnose the problem. The sockets have been replaced numerous times as well as the bulbs.

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited and this is the second that I have worked on and I have noticed that the license plate lights wiring harness seem to melt on the bulbs and I think over time this could become a big risk over time. The harness is very hard to replace and I don't think many people would notice cause of the location. I have been burned by the hot rubber type plastic. This is the third time I have had to replace the lights over the years and every time it just gets worst. Once on my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo the light hosing was burned.

Jeep Grand Cherokee has defective tail/brake lights. Mine have been replaced on several occasions and now its out again. I know other people who have the same vehicle and are having the same problems.

About every year the taillight/brake light sockets corrode and the lights quit functioning. Cleaning them solves the problem. We live in phoenix area and so moisture is not a factor.
