2000 Jeep Cherokee Visibility Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the visibility system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Visibility reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE JEEP WINDOW REGULATOR IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND MINE HAS BROKE TWICE IN ONE WEEK. I HAVE A 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE AND IT IS IN THE SHOP TO HAVE THE THIRD WINDOW REGULATOR INSTALLED. THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE WITH JEEPS AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ISSUED AND FIX THE PROBLEM. HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL QUESTION AND ANSWER SITES ON THE INTERNET AND JEEP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AGO BOTH OF MY FRONT POWER WINDOWS QUIT WORKING ON MY 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT WITHIN WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN CHEROKEES AND THEY TOO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I WERE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT FORCED MY CAR TO BE SUBMERGED IN A BODY OF WATER I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE ENTIRE CABIN FILLED WITH WATER BEFORE I COULD ATTEMPT ANY ESCAPE. MY MOTHER WHO OWNS A NISSAN XTERRA ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT LAST MONTH NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL AND ALL 4 OF HER WINDOWS WERE REPLACED. *NM

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
