This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Several years ago I was pulled over by a police officer because I had no tail/running/turn or brake lights. I immediately had those replaced. Within a month I took my Jeep in for the yearly state inspection and found that I had the same issue. I was told then, that this was a problem with this design of the Jeep, they were very familiar with this problem as I told them about my recent traffic stop and having just gotten it fixed. This very serious problem has persisted extensively! no matter how many times I address the issue (and it's not the bulbs, those are rarely burnt out, it's the connection, cleaning the connection surface helps but...) I am constantly being stopped and told I have no tail lights whatsoever, it's exhausting and a danger to my and everyone else's! ongoing problem.
I was driving when all of a sudden my vehicle cut off in the middle of traffic. Also, Sunday morning I was driving to church when my vehicle would not start. I was told my a mechanic (not on duty) that it could be my fuel pump, wiring or catalytic converter. Please look into this matter as soon as possible.
It's killing my battery the interior light stays on when vehicle is off and power windows don't work unless driver side door is open while vehicle is on.door open lights flashes when vehicle is running however it is really shut already. I have friends with same type vehicles having same issues.

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.
