I bought my 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 05 with about 50,000 miles on it. Sometime in 08 the blower motor started working off and on. After about 3 years I did some research and found that the most likely cause was the blower motor resister. After checking, I notice that the resistor harness had been melted. I did some more research and found that this was quite common. This should be a recall item because this is a serious fire hazard. If the wires were hot enough to melt the plastic sheathing, what's to stop it from causing a fire in an unsuspecting consumer's Jeep? I was fortunate enough to have caught this early on, but if I wasn't, the cost of "what if" is not one I, my wife, or children are willing to pay.

Turn signals only work intermittently. I have seen numerous reports of this as a problem with Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo vehicles made in 2002 and 2003, possibly other years. This absolutely should be under recall. Please take this into consideration. Thank you.

Electrical system:wiring:interior/under dash. NHTSA campaign id number : 01V288000 my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee is having electrical issues of this nature. Car lost directionals and heater/defroster, brake lights on highway. All electrical related.

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited (wj), electrical wires melting at blower motor controller (resistor block) for heater /ac interior fan. Fire hazard as this circuit is hot even when the vehicle is off. Poor contact between the wire female spade connector and the blower motor controller male spade terminal caused excessive heat which resulted in the wires being charred and the blower motor controller housing melting. Device is located under the dashboard on the passenger side. I am ordering a harness and heater resistor to remedy this manufacturer defect. While my car did not catch on fire, this is clearly a fire hazard that should be addressed by the manufacturer.

The heater failed in my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This is apparently a very common problem in this model. Previously the seat heaters overheated and the power steering hose failed.

Driver's side heated seat got extremely hot and has since quit working. Called dealer and Chrysler/Jeep and both say it is not covered under the current recall #J14. I see where there are 17 under the "seat" heading of component and others under the electrical heading. This should be a recall someday and soon.

Key won't turn in ignition, steering wheel locked, car won't shift out of park. This is the first time I've had this issue. Car had to be towed to auto repair shop.

The heater on my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee only works approx. 25% of the time. The person I purchased it from said it only happened to her every so often, but that it had gotten worse. Since I've owned it, it has continued to get progressively worse. I'm concerned as winter is approaching and I'll need to see out the windshield and will need a heat defroster for it living here in Nebraska. This is a long known problem and I'm shocked that Chrysler has not recalled this problem as it poses major safety implications. I've worked on cars for 15 years and have never heard of a heater going bad. As any mechanic out there, heaters don't go bad unless the whole heater core is bad, in which case I'd have a floor full of anti-freeze, which I do not have. My Jeep has not lost an ounce of fluid and runs at perfect operating temperature. It's an obvious electrical problem that Jeep should be held accountable for! there are numerous posts on numerous forms with hoards of people having the same problem that Jeep is charging $1500 to fix. Talk about a scam!!!

The contact owns a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving approximately 20 mph, the contact was notified by another driver that his brake lights were out. The contact inspected the vehicle and discovered that when he depressed the brake pedal, the brake lights and parking lights failed. The failure was caused by an electrical defect.

The contact owns a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving 3 mph in reverse, the contact heard a loud pop coming from her vehicle. She discovered that the plastic fan blade on the radiator fan separated. The failure caused damage to the radiator as well as some other parts to which the contact could not recall. The repair will cost $600. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. Daimler Chrysler stated that they would not pay for the repair because the contact did not bring the vehicle in for repair when she received recall notice # F25 (electric radiator fan). The manufacturer stated that the contact should have parked the vehicle and refrained from driving. The contact went to two different dealers for the repair, but neither were taking any appointments. She feels that she should not have to pay for the repair because she could not get an appointment from the dealer. The engine size and powertrain were unknown. The current and failure mileages were 73,000.

My 2002 jigs special edition w/ V8 4X4 has an unidentified electric problem. 3 times so far in 2005 when trying to start the Jeep the system goes completely dark. No electricity at all. It won't start, the lights won't work, the remote won't work. You can't even jump start it. The first time the dealer replaced the battery (even though I replaced it 8 months prior). The second time it started when the tow truck driver went to check the miles, so the dealer said there was no way for them to figure it out. Last night it happened again, again it has been towed to the dealer and I am waiting for results.

This is my 4th Jeep. Here is a little background on this issue. I purchased a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the overland edition. The dealership pushed buying a used certified Jeep vehicle! they mentioned the extended warranty that would take care of any issues that the Jeep had during the last years of my ownership. I went in the dealership looking to purchase a new vehicle but they told me all the added benefits / value from buying from the used Jeep facility! the warranty: As mentioned I purchased the warranty sold by Jeep at the local dealership. The service agreement that was sold by the dealership went bankrupt! gary miller Chrysler Jeep Isuzu located in erie, pa sold this to me. My 1st issue was when I decided to take the vehicle in because of a vibration while driving. I was made aware that the company was bankrupt when tying to call and find out what information will be needed when I go to the local Jeep dealership in Kansas City. Furthermore I mentioned to the Jeep dealership that pushed the contract that I am wiling to purchase the best contract to make sure I do not have an issue with my new vehicle in the future. The constant issues: I have now taken in my Jeep for 6 visits! I have only included some of the payments (see the additional paperwork) but you can see a trend here. This Jeep had been nothing but a problem since I purchased the vehicle! I am now stuck replacing the steering pump for the 2nd time! I have to pay for the replacement and live without a vehicle. I am out several thousand dollars and still have to take this vehicle (that Jeep pushed on me) to the service shop about every 6 months. I just started driving my vehicle from the last service repair (I am getting very familiar to the local Jeep dealerships) and still the item is not fixed and my Jeep is leaking oil all over our company driveway. This vehicle is a lemon and the company that made the vehicle sold me a bankrupt contract.

The cooling fan blade just broke while stopped at a light. It made the car thump I thought someone hit us but the fan blades broke the fan shrode and put dents all in the radiator and broke the fan guard. This vechile has had many of the same problems due to the electrical system. We lease the Jeep and have put $$$ in it because they would not take it back as a lemon with in the 2 years. I still hear a beep coming from under the dash that Jeep never found the problem or fixed it. I just had the fan relay changed because it went out. With in the first 2 years I had it in the shop for a variety of electrical problems I have all the paper work. I am afraid the Jeep will catch on fire or cause an accident. I've also checked many other things that were issues with the Jeep. Leaking shocks and transmission pan and emissions is now leaking. The check engine light stays on and every time I get it checked it's a different problem. I'm out of my warranty now but there have been so many different things wrong. The dealer replaced 2 of 4 leaking shocks they left the transmission pan loose when they replaced a part in the transmission. This Jeep is unsafe for the road it has lost power in the past while traveling so they replaced the battery twice with in a month.
