What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
My air bags failed to deploy during front end accident in which both driver and passenger were injured. Also rear passenger safety belt did not lock and caused child in booster seat to hit the back of front passenger seat. Child had face and eye injuries.
I was driving on a public road doing approximately 25 miles per hour when another vehicle made an illegal left turn in front of my vehicle. I hit him straight on and neither the driver's airbag or the passenger airbags deployed. I drive a 2001 jeep grand cherokee. I sustained severe spinal injury that required a surgery and the possibilty of future surgery to other discs.
I hear a honking noise and feel vibrations when making slow left hand turns (ex. Parking). The slower and tighter the turn, the louder the noise and the more vibration. I brought the vehicle to the dealer at least 4 times for this problem and was told there was nothing they could do about it.
Azc does not function. Chrysler certified auto repair shop says the azc needs to be replaced. Big $$$$ for a common issue.
