Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35 miles
I purchased a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2005 from a used car dealer in albuquerque. At that time no recalls or repairs of any safety related defects were revealed to me. I received a recall in novenber 2006 for cooling fan that I had already had done. Daimler/Chrysler reimbursed me for some of the repairs done. On 4-17-07 I was North bound on unser approaching ladera, traffic was stopped at the red light. I was traveling the speed limit which was posted at 35 mph. I pressed on the brake pedal to begin slowing down and nothing happened. I then slammed my foot down on the pedal it went to the floor and I rear ended a large pickup at the intersection. The air bags did not deploy, and I did not think the seat belt engaged untill I hit the steering wheel with my sternum. My injuries were minor, and I elt the injuries of the person I hit were also minor. The reason I believed thiswas so because I was knocked unconsicience. After some advice from an attourney I checked online for any safty related recalls on the vehicle. I was not surprised to find many. Recall # 200002004 was a seat belt recall, recall # 20060313 was a brake system recall, and recall # 19991202 was a air bag recall. There were many more I am sure you were aware off. My concern was for anybody else thatwas driving one of these vehicles with their families in the car. If my wife or daughter had been in the vehicle with me I am sure their injuries would have been more severe. Please look into this vehicle, it was not safe.
