| I own a 2004 jeep cherokee which has an electrical issue where the power windows, door locks and everything on the drivers side door control panel do not work as well as the interior lights do not turn off, all causing a safety issue.i found out this is a known issue with jeep cherokees due to the wiring inside the front drivers side door. i had this issue in 2009 after at about 46,000 miles. when calling the dealership i was told that this is a known issue and the dealership give me an exact price over the phone as they knew of this issue. since the dealership was very rude and price was very high.i had the repairs done at a highly regarded repair shop which specializes in electrical work which cost $201 but now (at 80,000 miles) the exact same issue has happened again due to the opening and closing of the front drivers side door. the wiring harness is located on the driver's side door, but the harness is too small to sustain all of the wires. when the door is opened, the wires come out of the harness and break, which causes everything on the drivers side door panel not to work. this includes the power windows, door locks, interior lights and power mirrors all of which cause a safety hazard. i believe that this should be a recall for jeep that they should fix free of charge especially since this is a known issue. i feel that it's very reckless of jeep to not recall this known safety issue and allow their customers to drive with windows and door locks that to not work or interior lights that do not turn off. in order to turn off the interior lights i had to remove the fuse which can be very dangerous at night and makes it very difficult see any of the instruments. this car is used by my handicapped wife and due to this issue i will not let her drive at night as i feel this car is very unsafe in it's current state. | |||

| I recently purchased a 2004 jeep grand cherokee and noticed the right tail light was out. it was repaired and then went out again recently. it is not the bulb! my father also has a jeep grand cherokee and he too has a tail light that doesn't work on a consistent basis. i have since begun to notice that there are many other jeeps with driving around with tail lights out. i am wondering if it is some kind of manufacturing flaw in the light or the wiring system. i would greatly appreciate your assistance in researching the matter. i am afraid i am going to get a ticket for a problem that i believe to be fixed when the thing goes out again. *tr | |||
