3 of my doors have to be either manually locked or unlocked. The keyless function no longer works correctly for them. Both passenger doors do not unlock with the keyless/electronic fob, the drivers door does not lock with the keyless/electronic fob, only manually. Anytime the keyless/electronic fob is used a nasty grinding noise comes from 1 or more of the doors.

I want to send a complaint about the door lock actuators on our 2000 Jeep. I have had to replace 4 of these due to the "quacking" sound that eventually shows up. It is a very annoying sound and besides that the lock doesn't work anymore. You have to manually lock and unlock the door. This is a known problem with the Jeep door lock actuators. I am requesting a recall be made for Jeep to correct the problem.

- the contact stated that the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee had a number of problems. The vehicle had problems with the brake rotors since 2005. He had to replace the rotors on 2 occasions since he purchased the vehicle in 2003. The contact had been informed that he needed to have the rotors replaced again. Also, the contact has been having problems with the driver's side door locks. When hitting the unlock remote control to unlock the doors the vehicle did not unlock. On some occasions while in the vehicle and trying to unlock the doors from inside the doors did not unlock. A number of times he's had to get out the vehicle from the passenger side door. In addition, tail lights are malfunctioed. The socket that held the bulbs did not work properly. He stated that his brake lights and his reverse lights have failed. He had to glue the plastic sockets together, and on the last time he needed repairs for the socket, he had to rig them up to work. Finally the contact had to replace the brake and back up lights. The failure mileage was 80,000, and the current mileage was 100,000.

Safety issue: Power door locks inoperable. 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. On three (3) seperate occassions, we have had to have three (3) seperate electronic locking systems replaced on three (3) seperate doors/hatches on this vehicle. In all three incidents, the "actuator" has failed to either lock and/or unlock each individually effected door. On one occassion, we were unable to exit the driver's door at all, thus having to climb over to the passenger's front door to exit. When we contact the manufactuer - each time - they tell us that these are "normal wear items". after scanning your sight, I find a total of twenty-one such related complaints for Jeep Grand Cherokee (not all year 2000 models) and four specifically related, year 2000 complaints. To describe the failure: The locking mechanism simply fails to engage and/or disengage and makes a higher pitched, longer than usual, whining sound - as if an electrical motor has failed. The cost of each repair has been equal to or exceeded $150 per incident. The following listed incident date (online submission field required) refers only to the latest/most current date of repair. All services for such repairs - each incident - were obtained at capitol grage, a Jeep/Chrysler dealer, in willimantic, connecicut. The vehicle was originally purchased at a now defunct, Jeep dealership in mansfield, Connecticut, named champagne Jeep/cheverolet.
