2001 Jeep Laredo Problems, complaints & recalls

My 2001 jeep cherokee laredo front driver seat broke. It is extremely dangerous I have been trying to replace the seat and have been unable to find one.

It is so widespread that several different body shops and junk yards have told me they break so other they never can get one intact. I have looked for oem parts which is my first choice and...

For the past year my 2001 jeep grand cherokee laredo limited has been overheating if we idle for more than 1-2 minutes. As long as the rpms don't go over 2000 it will happen.

While going up the canyon speeds stayed below 20 mph because we were following my in-laws and there was quite a bit of dust the ac was off I didn't notice that the temperature gage was raising.

We have a 2001 jeep laredo and the left rear axle seals and bearings have gone out twice. Bearings start making noise at around 35 mph. The seals failed and caused oil to get on the emergency brake lining causing emergency brake to be ineffective. The first time this went out the vehicle had approx. 75,000 Mi. The vehicle has the same problem again at approx. 82,000 Mi. This has cost $1100.00 To fix the first time and is at the dealer now for the second repair which will cost at least $1500.00 To repair bearings and emergency brake and/or linings. *Tr

My 2001 jeep accelerates when stopping and has a slow take off when accelerating. I stopped at a traffic light when applying the brakes the jeep accelerated. I had to again apply the brakes. I never know when it is going to stop. The transmission light has come on and a gas cap was replaced when this first happened but now the accelerations have started again. I am afraid to drive the car close to any other car because I don't know if the jeep will just take off. Also, the shift gear slips easily I have to be careful about touching the shift while driving. Has any other complaints been filed concerning the accelerations when stopping in the 2001 jeep grand cherokees? *Tr

Blend door failure on my '01 jeep grand cherokee limited and transmission failure after 79000 miles resulting in thousands of dollars of repairs. Have been complaining about transmission since I got the new car and jeep kept saying "it was normal" they even had a period of time when they extended the powertrain warranty to 100,000 miles which my car missed by 65 days. I also see too many blend door issues that jeep needs to address vs. Me paying $850.00 For. *Tr

I own a 2001 grand cherokee jeep laredo 4x4. The problem is with the eight way seat. The hinged actuator that the seat is mounted to has fractured causing the seat to become unstable. I performed tests that revealed cracks in the welds and in the component parts themselves. I have been in contact with jeep and they say there is no problems with that model and the seats. They will not replace the part because the feel its not a safety issue. *Tr
