2004 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1028186
Internal NHTSA #	10556117
Manufacurer	Chrysler Group LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2004
File date	15/05/13
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Defect in electrical wiring in driver-side door prevents windows from rolling down (a safety hazard) and doors from locking/unlocking. The back hatch will either remain in locked or unlocked mode depending on when the wiring fails (this model jeep does not include a manual way to use a key to unlock/lock the back hatch). If a pet was in the back of the suv that had a "pet fence", there would be no way to get the pet out of the vehicle (or luggage/cargo). This is especially concerning in the event of a rear end collision where the gas tank may catch on fire (current recall). The interior lights also stay on as if a door was open. Turning off the interior lights prevents the speedometer/odometer/gauges/etc from illuminating at night. If the lights are not turned off, then all interior lights remain on causing a hazard at night as well. Driver-side wiring was fixed in october of 2012. In september of 2013, the passenger-side wiring is causing the same problem - windows/door locks don't work and the interior lights stay on. This problem is not an anomaly. It is very concerning that the wiring can fail in both front doors within a one year period - creating safety issues.
