What owners wrote
I am a paraplegic and was a passenger in a 2005 grand cherokee with heated seats. It was a cool day and I turned on the seats. The heated seats burned both cheeks of my butt. I am confined to a bed until the burns heal.
Dt*: the contact stated while changing the gear from drive to reverse there was a clicking noise. This occurred intermittently. While attempting to apply pressure to the accelerator pedal the engine made a roaring noise and the vehicle failed to pick up speed. The dealership rebuilt the transmission, however no other repairs have been made. The manufacturer has been alerted. Updated 6/27/2006 - the vehicle battery would not hold a charge. The headliner had to be replaced because it was unraveling..
