2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Other Problems

After your ignition switch recall was completed in November 2015, you've been having trouble turning the key to start your car. One of your keys actually broke while trying to turn the ignition, and you're now worried your last remaining key will break too. The recall warranty has expired, so you'd have to pay out of pocket to fix this problem. A repair would likely involve replacing the ignition switch assembly or having the lock cylinder serviced.

While driving, your transmission unexpectedly shifts into neutral without you moving the gear selector, forcing you to coast to a safe spot, shift to park, then back to drive before the vehicle will move again. This has happened three times so far.

Your fuel tank's protective skid plate has rusted completely through and broken off, leaving your fuel tank exposed underneath the vehicle. You're concerned that the unsupported tank could fall off during normal driving, especially given the numerous potholes in your area, which could damage the tank or create a safety hazard for you and other drivers. The fix will likely involve replacing the rusted skid plate and inspecting the fuel tank for any damage.

DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRUMBLED INTO NOTHING, EVERY DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM INSIDE THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY AN EMERGENCY EXIT PROBLEM, JUST LIKE OLD REFRIDGERATOR DOORS AND KIDS GETTING LOCKED INSIDE, JUST THINK IF A CHILD CRAWALED INTO THE JEEP ON A 90-100 DEGREE DAY , THIS IS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE, HOW CAN YOU MAKE SUCH A PASSENGER DEATH TRAP , AND NOT FIX THIS , THERE IS OVER 1MILLION JEEPS WITH THIS PROBLEM , YEA HOW DO YOU ESCAPE A FIRE , OR FLOOD, THOUGHT JEEP WAS AMERICAN MADE , BEST OF THE BEST, GET YOU THERE AND BACK SAFELY, GUESS JUST NOT IN OR OUT LIKE THE BACK SEAT OF A COP CAR , OR YOUR FAMILIES TOMB.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS BROKEN OFF AND SHATTERED BECAUSE OF THE BRITTLE PLASTIC SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS

THE DOOR HANDLES ON THE INTERIOR OF MY JEEP ARE VERY BRITTLE. 2 OUT OF 4 HANDLES ARE CURRENTLY BROKEN AS THEY ARE MADE ONLY OF PLASTIC. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AS IT POSES A SAFETY RISK. MANY PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, I AM FEARFUL FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY IN THIS CAR.

DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN AND DOES NOT WORK.

MY INTERIOR HANDLES ON ALL 4 DOORS HAVE BEEN CRACKED FOR YEARS BUT NOW THEY ARE COMPLETELY CRUMBLED. AT FIRST, I HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEATS, THEN, WHOMEVER WAS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT, THEY HAD TO WAIT FOR ME TO GO AROUND & OPEN THE DOOR FOR THEM. THEY COULD NOT GET OUT FROM THE INSIDE. IT WAS A HASSLE BUT I MOSTLY DRIVE ALONE, SO I TOLERATED IT. AS OF YESTERDAY, I NOW HAVE TO OPEN MY WINDOW, (DRIVERS SIDE), TO OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE IT'S CRACK TO THE POINT, THAT I CAN'T OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE ANY LONGER. IT'S A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT & NEEDED TO GET OUT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO. YEARS AGO, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN CLEARWATER, FL. WAS GOING TO REPLACE DOOR PANELS, TO REPLACE THE HANDLES, BUT THE DISTRICT MGR THAT OK'D WAS TRANSFERRED & THE NEW DISTRICT MGR. REFUSED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE & DEATH. I'M HOPING & PRAYING YOU WILL DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS. IF NOT, I'M THINKING OF CALLING THE LOCAL NEWS. ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLES HAVE CRACKED, BROKEN & CRUMBLED. DOOR HANDLES ARE TOTALLY INOPERABLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE ' IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION DRIVER & PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL WARRANTED!

FROUNT STABLIZER BAR NIT COMES LOOSE AND RATTLES...INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ALL 4 BROKE THE PANELS BROKE AROUND DOOR HANDLE AND BOTH IN REAR DO NOT EVEN OPEN AT THIS POINT..BOUTH FROUNT DOOR PANELS ARE CRACKED OUT OF PLACE AND HANGING..BARELY WORKE ...TO EXIT VECHIEL...NO HITCH OR TOE BAR WAS ON VECHIEL..SO CANT TOE ANYTHING..BUT TOE PACKAGE IS IN CONTROLS..CONFUSED...LOVE MY JEEP..HEATER CORE JUST WENT OUT IN IT ..BUT REALLY CONCERNED ABOUY DOOR PANELS AND BEING ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN IN VECHILE IN CASE OF ACCIDENT...NO WAY OUT FOR THEM ...VERY ALARMING CONDITIONS FOR JEEP OWNERS....PLEASE RESPOND...2005. JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED EDITION.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED (5.7 HEMI). THE VEHICLE IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE FOR IT'S AGE EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THREE OF THE FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. THE ONLY HANDLE THAT ISN'T COMPLETELY BROKEN IS THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS HAS A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS ALSO HAS A HOLE AND ALMOST ALL OF THE PLASTIC HOUSING IS MISSING. FORTUNATELY, BOTH OF THESE DOOR HANDLES ARE STILL OPERATIONAL FROM THE INSIDE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS THE MOST DAMAGE AND ALTHOUGH OPERATIONAL, THERE IS ONLY ONE SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT IS HOLDING THE PIN THAT CONNECTS THE CABLE TO THE HANDLE. ONCE THE PIN FALLS OUT, THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER BE OPERATIONAL FROM THE INSIDE AND THE PLASTIC THAT IS CURRENTLY HOLDING IT IN PLACE IS EXTREMELY BRITTLE. THE WHOLE MECHANISM THAT OPENS THE DOOR IS EXPOSED THROUGH THE DOOR AND THE ACTUAL HANDLE NO LONGER IS SEATED WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED BE. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE DRIVER DOOR BECOMES INOPERABLE AND THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

"TAKATA RECALL" ALL 4 OF MY DOORS HAVE BROKEN HANDLES TO LET YOU OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. ALL PLASTIC HAS BROKEN. IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO ONE AT A TIME. IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE DO TO THE FACT THAN A PASSENGER OR ALL PASSENGERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT DO TO THE FAULTY PLASTIC. FIRE, ACCIDENT OR WHATEVER THE REASON I'M NOT COMFORTABLE LETTING MY FRIENDS RIDE IN MY CAR AS WELL AS MYSELF. THIS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL BECAUSE I'M SEEING MANY JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *LEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL DO TO SAFETY ISSUES. THANKS

TOOK VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS TO CHECK DUE TO THE FACT I WAS HAVING TROUBLE TURNING KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT CONTINUED TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS THEN THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION. A LOCKSMITH HAD TO BE CALLED TO PEP BOYS TO FIX THE IGNITION. I HAD TO PAY $200. THEN IT WAS TOLD TO ME THAT I NEEDED A STARTER, WHICH TOTALED $644. WANTED TO KNOW IF I GET THIS MONEY REFUNDED TO ME. I HAVE RECEIPTS. AND ALSO A REPAIR DONE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO RELATED TO THE RECALL.

THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH "INTENDED ACCELERATION". TWICE THE ENGINE HAS GONE TO WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. FIRST TIME I HAD TIME TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. SECOND TIME I WENT FOR A VERY SURPRISING RIDE OVER A FOUR FOOT RETAINING WALL . IT LANDED ON THE GRASS WITHOUT TIPPING OVER. I HAVE PARKED THIS CAR AND HAVEN'T RUN IT UNTIL I KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND ANYWHERE.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE AND AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND TRANNY DOESN'T SHIFT CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES AND REVVING OF ENGINE

THE SKID PLATE THAT HOLDS THE GAS TANK IS RUSTED THRU AND NEED REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON DESIGN FLAW.

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TELEPHONED MY MECHANIC NOT SURE IF I SHOULD CONTINUE DRIVING IT. MY MECHANIC THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY TO DRIVE IT THE SHORT DISTANCE I HAD LEFT AND TO BRING IN INTO HIS GARAGE. MY MECHANIC CHECKED OUT THE VEHICLE AT LENGTH AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. WHEN HE THOUGHT HE HAD IT FIXED THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. MY MECHANIC BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER IN NORWICH,, NY AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS PART OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. I JUST GOT MY JEEP BACK AFTER A $972.00 BILL. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT TYPICALLY GOES WRONG; HAVE OTHERS HAD ISSUES WITH THIS; WAS IT SAFE ETC.?

BRAKE BOOSTER FAIL AND, I HAVE REPLACE. THIS COST ME PART ONLY $219 PLUS LABOR $180.00. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS RECALL SINCE IS NOT BRAKE PADS ISSUE.

INSIDE DOOR HANDLE CRACKED AND BROKEN CAME OUT THE OTHER MORNING TO PASSENGER INSIDE HANDLE CRACKED AND BARELY HOLDING ON OR WORKING

PLASTIC SURROUNDING ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES CRACKING. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE INOPERABLE DUE TO CRACKING.

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLES BREAKING/FAILING: 1 REAR DOOR TOTALLY INOPERABLE. ***THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE ' IF HANDLES BREAK OR ARE INOPERABLE IN CERTAIN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, PASSENGERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!*** MANUFACTURER CHARGE TO REPLACE/REPAIR HANDLES IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE: IN MY CASE, THE COST OF EIGHT (8) MONTHLY CAR PAYMENTS! MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL WARRANTED!'

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON BOTH DRIVER SIDE ARE BROKEN. THE BACK DRIVER PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE FINALLY BROKE. THE DRIVER DOOR INTERIOR HANDLE IS GOING TO GO NEXT. IM JUST WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT BREAKS IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT OR IF MY CAR CATCHES FIRE. ITS A HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I WAS IM MY DRIVEWAY WHEN IT BROKE.

REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKE DUE TO FAULTY PLASTIC. ALL THE OTHER DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE WHEN THE HANDLE FALLS OFF.

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN AND YOU CANNOT GET OUT OF CAR. CAR WAS IN DRIVEWAY. THIS IS AN ONE GOING ISSUE WITH JEEP AND THEY ARE NOT DOING A SAFTY RECALL

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE MADE OF CHEEP PLASTIC AND PREMATURELY WEARING OUT CAUSING THEM TO SHATTER MAKING THEM INOPERABLE SO THAT OCCUPANTS ARE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

THE INSIDE PLASTIC AROUND ALL DOOR HANDLES IS CRACKED AND BROKEN. I'M FINDING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND CAN BE DANGEROUS AS IT EFFECTS THE HANDLES AND BEING ABLE TO GET OUT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. I, MYSELF, HAVE PROBLEMS OPENING THE BACK DOORS. AND NOW THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLE IS ABOUT TO BREAK

DOOR HANDLES ON ALL INTERIOR DOORS HAVE BROKEN AND BECOME UN-USEABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS AS PASSENGERS HAVE TO BE LET OUT OR OPEN WINDOWS AND TRY TO OPEN DOOR FROM OUTSIDE , IF THERE WAS A FIRE OR WATER HAZARD THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO ESCAPE AS ELECTRICS WOULDNT ALLOW WINOWS TO OPEN , IM AFRAID TO TRAVEL WITH MY KIDS AND PRICE TO FIX IS OVER $3000.00 AND NO ONE WANTS TO FIX THEM , EVEN IF I SAY ILL PAY ITS REDICULOUS, DANGEROUS AND OUT RIGHT FRAUD . JEEP NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE AS THE DANGER TO LIFE IS MASSIVE AND THERE IS 100,000 VECHILES WITH THIS PROBLEM. JUST THE BROKEN PARTS CAN CUT PEOPLE, NOT RELIZING IT . HAPPENED BY NORMAL USE ACTUALLY LESS THAN NORMAL USE AS REAR PASSANGER DOORS FAILED FASTER THEN FRONT AND OVER THE YEARS HAD 3/4 LESS USAGE THAN FRONT AS I USE IT EVERDAY.

I ALSO HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LMTD AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL IS BROKEN AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE. THE DOOR HANDLE IS HANGING ON BY THE CABLES. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR OVER 2 YEARS. THE ONLY REASON THE OTHER DOOR INTERIOR PANELS HAVEN'T BROKEN YET IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE RARELY USED. I DO NOT KNOW WHY JEEP HAS NOT BEEN SUPPORTIVE ENOUGH TO HAVE A RECALL TO REPLACE ALL 4 DOOR PANELS SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CHEAP PLASTIC THAT WAS USED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I COULD GET MY DOOR OPEN IN A CRASH.

ALL DOOR PANEL ARE BROKEN (FRONT AND REAR) AND IT'S DIFFICULT AND HARD FOR A DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO OPEN IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, THE VEHICLE IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING! THE SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY DROPS TO ZERO AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF! FOR THIS REASON, I AM SCARED TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY IN FEAR THAT IT WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. ALSO, IT WILL NOT TURN BACK ON IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR AROUND 5 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL TURN BACK ON.

INDOOR HANDLES ARE ALL BROKEN. SAFETY ISSUE CAN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR FROM THE INSIDE.

GETTING INDICATIONS THAT ELECT- BRAKE PROBLEM INDICATIONS, SKID CONTROL INDICATIONS, AND AIR CONDITIONER NOT WORKING.

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLES BREAKING/FAILING: 1 REAR DOOR TOTALLY INOPERABLE. ***THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE ' IF HANDLES BREAK OR ARE INOPERABLE IN CERTAIN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, PASSENGERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!*** MANUFACTURER CHARGE TO REPLACE/REPAIR HANDLES IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE: IN MY CASE, THE COST OF EIGHT (8) MONTHLY CAR PAYMENTS! MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL WARRANTED!'

MY INTERIOR HANDLES ON 3 OF THE 4 DOORS HAVE BROKEN AND I CANNOT OPEN MY DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. THE PLASTIC THAT WAS UTILIZED IN THE DESIGN AND MAKING OF THE HANDLE BECAME BRITTLE AND NOW HAS BROKEN. THIS STARTED TO OCCUR YEARS AGO WITH THE PASSENGER FRONT AND BACK INTERIOR HANDLE AND MOST RECENTLY WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHICH NOW I HAVE TO WIND THE WINDOW DOWN TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF I SHOULD GET INTO A CAR WRECK OR SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE. THE COST IN GETTING THIS ISSUE FIXED IS UNAFFORDABLE TO ME.

FAULTY INSIDE DOOR HANDLES/ CRACKED/ LOSE/ MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD

THIS MODEL GRAND CHEROKEE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 07-AND UP. THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE FAILS. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED 5 TIMES, THAT'S 5 TOWS- THE DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY THOUGHT I WAS PART OF THAT RECALL, BUT HAD TO BACK TRACK. I WAS TOLD "IT'S NOT BROKEN ENOUGH" IT IS THE SAME EXACT PART AS THE P57 RECALL FOR THE 07, SO WHY NOT FOR THE 05? THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIPS TELLING US TO GO AWAY AFTER WE SPEND MONEY ON PARTS THAT ARE CLEARLY NOT THE ISSUE.

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN. THEY HAVE BEEN THIS WAY FOR MANY MANY YEARS.... THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS MODEL JEEP. THE PLASTIC CUP THAT HOUSES THE LEVER BECAME VERY BRITTLE AND DOOR HANDLE BASICALLY BROKE APART IN MANY PIECES. 3 OUT OF THE 4 ARE BROKEN. THE REAR DOORS AREN'T USED MUCH, SO ASSUME THAT'S WHY ONE OF THOSE IS STILL IN ONE PIECE. BECAUSE THE CUP IS PART OF THE DOOR PANEL, THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL! PLEASE REFERENCE THE SITES BELOW. NO ABUSE, JUST STANDARD USE, SEEMS TO BE A MATERIAL ISSUE. FOR REFERENCE: HTTP://WWW.DENLORSTOOLS.COM/AUTOBLOG/2010/11/JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-INTERIOR-DOOR-HANDLE-BROKEN-RECALL/ HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/WK-XK-DOOR-HANDLE-RECALL-1404372/

IGNITION SWITCH IT HAS HARD TIME STARTING

PLASTIC AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE CRACKED. HANDLE IS DANGLING. VERY DANGEROUS. IF THE HANDLE SNAPS MY FAMILY AND I COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE WITH SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. THERE IS NO RECALL. WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. DEALER WANTS 850$ TO FIX PROBLEM. OUTRAGEOUS. IF SOMEONE GETS TRAPPED IN VEHICLE, SOMEONE CAN DIE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HEADLAMPS FLASHING INTERMITTTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. POTENTIAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. VERU DISTRACTING TO ME AS WELL AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC

CLICKING IN DASHBOARD UPON START OF VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES STRAIGHT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE ARE MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT COMES FROM THE HEATER FAN AREA. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC "ITS WORKING NOW, ITS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE WHEN IT GOES, AS IT'S LIKE $1000.00 TO TAKE THE DASH OFF".

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLES BREAKING/FAILING: 1 REAR DOOR TOTALLY INOPERABLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE ' IF HANDLES BREAK OR ARE INOPERABLE IN CERTAIN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, PASSENGERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! MANUFACTURER CHARGE TO REPLACE/REPAIR HANDLES IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE

HATCHBACK FAILED TO STAY OPENED AND SLAMMED ON HAND. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. HAD HATCHBACK CYLINDER REPLACED AFTER FIRST TIME BY DEALER. NO INJURY FIRST TIME. SECOND TIME MEDICAL EXPENSES. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BOTH TIMES IN DRIVEWAY.

MY TRANSMISSION KEEPS READING OVER TEMP BUT WHEN I CHECK EVERYTHING ON SAID VEHICLE THERE IS NO KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN IT. IT HAPPENS PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING RANDOMLY ANYWHERE

DOOR HANDLES ON REAR DOORS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF. IN AN EMERGENCY, MY CHILD COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. IF THE CAR WAS IN A MORE SERIOUS EMERGENCY...FLOOD, FIRE, CRASH, ANYONE IN THE BACKSEAT COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

THE KEY FOR MY VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER WORK. THE BUTTONS WILL NOT UNLOCK THE JEEP. WHEN TRYING TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE, I HAVE TO UNLOCK WITH THE PHYSICAL KEY, THEN EXPERIENCE THE ALARM GOING OFF TO GET INTO THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR OVER THE LAST YEAR. CHANGING THE BATTERY DOES NOT HELP.

TAKATA RECALL, MY CAR SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL WHENEVER I'M DRIVING IT

PROBLEM WITH BROKEN DOOR HANDLES 1FRONT PASSENGER 2REAR PASSENGER DOORS ALL BROKEN WHICH CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY KIDS AND OTHERS WHO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. RATHER EXPENSE TO REPLACE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER.

MY CAR KEYS STOPPED WORKING IN 2010. THIS MEANS THAT EVERY TIME I LOCK THE DOORS I NEED TO DO IT MANUALLY WHICH CANCELS THE ALARM TO FUNCTION. MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROTECTION FORM BEING BROKEN INTO. I HAVE SEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH IS DESCRIBED AS DEFECTIVE KEYS.

THE SPEAKERS ARE MADE CHEAP PLASTIC THAT THE MAGNET ON BACK FALLS OFF. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE EASILY TO BREAK DUE TO PLASTIC VERY BRITTLE ALL 4 DOORS ARE BROKE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO OPEN DOORS. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WILL SPUTTER AS IF I'M RUNNING OUT OF GAS. WHILE DRIVING THE CONNECTION FROM AIR CONTROL KNOB HAS BURNED OUT AIR ONLY BLOWS ON HIGH. ALSO THE PART THAT SWITCHES FORM COLD TO HEAT ,THE PLASTIC GEARS WORE DOWN NOW WILL NOW SWITCH OVER .. OVER ALL THESE VEHICLES ARE OVER PRICED FOR ALL THE CHEAP PLASTIC PARTS THAT ARE USED. I HAVE READ THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE TRYING TO GET ON RECALL LIST BUT GUESS IT DIDN'T MAKE IT . UNABLE TO SELECT A DATE THIS ALL HAPPENED BUT IT BEEN OVER THE YEARS STARTING IN 2007

I HAVE A 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE I BOUGHT IT NEW AND IT HAVE 48575 MILE THIS VEHICLE HAS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT WHEN IT RAIN THE WATER COME IN THE DRIVER SIDE I MAKE MANY COMPLAIN TO JEEP ABOUT IT AN THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM NOW ALL MY DOOR PANEL WERE THE HANDLE IS ARE BROKEN AND JEEP DON'T WANT TO FIX IT .THE COST ON ME TO REPLACE THE PANEL FOR EACH DOOR ARE ABOUT SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH PANEL AND THAT IS SOME [XXX] . NEVER BUY A JEEP THE SERVICE SUCK AND THE ARE MADE OF CHEAP MATERIAL. SOMEONE NEED TO DO AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ALL 4 OF MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKED AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE ITSELF. THE PLASTIC SUPPORTING THE DOOR HANDLES HAS BROKEN LEAVING THE DOOR HANDLE USELESS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AROUND THE 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED. GOD FORBID A FIRE OCCURS THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE INSIDE!!!!!

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE CRACKED / VECH. HAS APPROX 60K MILES LITTLE USE FOR A 2005

ALL 4 OF MY INDOOR DOOR HANDED ARE BROKEN!!!

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE OF PASSENGER DOOR IN THE BACK SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER CRACKED AND FELL OFF. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS DOING THE SAME THING AND IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, OCCUPANTS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.

RECALL FOR IGNITION SWITCH WAS COMPLETED UNSATISFACTORILY BY THE DEALER. 1) IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO GET THE KEY TO TURN. THE NEW DESIGN TAKES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO PUSH THE KEY IN AND THEN TURN, AND, AGAIN, EXCESSIVE FORCE TO PUSH THE KEY IN AND REMOVE THE KEY. THIS REPAID IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO ME, 2) NEW KEY BARREL, OR WHATEVER THEY INSTALLED IN THE STEERING COLUMN, DOES NOT ALIGN UP IN THE HOLE IN THE DASHBOARD AND IS IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE LOOKING AT THE DASH BOARD. THIS, TOO, IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. 3) A GOOFY LOOKING STICKER WAS ATTACHED TO THE DASHBOARD NEXT TO THE STEERING COLUMN KEY HOW. IS THAT PART OF THE "RECALL"? ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KEEP POST-IT TYPE NOTES ON OUR DASH FOR SAFETY? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. TIGHTNESS IN GETTING KEY TO TUN ON OR OFF IS OCCURRING AT ALL TIMES, EVERY TIME.

I CALLED THE RECALL CENTER MULTIPLE TIMES SPEAKING WITH BRIANA, TIFFANY AND SHELENA (SUPERVISOR) REGARDING RECALL P41. ALL OF THEM STATED AND HAVE DOCUMENTED THAT I WOULD BE RECEIVING 2 NEW KEYS WHEN THEY FIX MY RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO GIVE ME NEW KEYS. I THINK IT IS UNPROFESSIONAL TO MISINFORM YOUR CUSTOMERS AND NOT HOLD TRUE TO YOUR WORD. I HAVE BEEN EXPECTING NEW KEYS BECAUSE I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MINE AND NOW THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR FOR A SOLUTION FOR THIS RECALL AND NOW THIS.

I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL P41 CONCERNING THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR FOR MY DEALER TO RECEIVE THE REQUIRED PART AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE IT. WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER PROVIDE THE PART FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL?????

OUT OF THE 4 INTERIOR DOOR PANELS, 3 OF THEM ARE BROKEN! MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE AND THE PRICE TO GET THIS FIXED IS RIDICULOUS! I'VE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS THAT THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN THEY PERSON/PERSONS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER AND/OR BOTH REAR DOORS COULDN'T GET OUT. I DRIVE MY JEEP EVERYDAY AND THE ONLY INTERIOR DOOR KNOB THAT ISN'T BROKEN IS THE DRIVERS SIDE! I RARELY HAVE OTHERS IN MY VEHICLE, BUT YET THE OTHER 3 DOOR KNOBS ARE BROKEN?!?!?! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I'VE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE ABOUT THE SITUATION.

THE DOOR HANDLES ON ALL FOUR DOORS BREAK AWAY, AND BECOME UNUSABLE. MAKING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IN TRYING TO EXIT THE CAR INVADE OF FIRE OR SOMETHING ELSE TO PUT THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. IN RESEARCH DONE OVER THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS THE ONLY YEAR AFFECTED WAS THE 2005 MODELS IN THE CHEAPER PLASTIC USED IN HOLDING THE DOOR HANDLES

NOTICE IS FOR P41 / NHTSA 14V-438 - FIAT CLAIMS THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL EVER COME IN AND THE DEALER SAYS THE SAME THING. THE RECALL SEEMS PRETTY SERIOUS SAYS VEHICHLE CAN CAUSE A CRASH FROM THE IGNITION - WHAT DO I DO??

THERE HAS BEEN AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THE KEYS/IGNITION SIMILAR TO GM. IT IS OLDER THAN THE HILLS BUT FIAT CHRYSLER HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT WAITING FOR PARTS. I BELIEVE I HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH BEFORE WE HAVE A TRAGEDY. INTERMITTENTLY, THE DASH LIGHTS GO ON AND GO OFF. IT HAS BEEN TRACED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL (P41 NHTSA 14V-438 ON MY VEHICLE BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014. IT BEEN A YEAR AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T HAVE A PART OR WAY TO REMEDY THE DEFECT. AS A CONSUMER, I HAVE A RIGHT TO HAVE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS OR MATERIALS FIXED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME, AND OVER A YEAR LATER ISN'T TIMELY OR REASONABLE. I SPOKE WITH REBIN AT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION TODAY, AND HE DOESN'T KNOW THE PART NUMBER TO BE ABLE TO CALL A DEALERSHIP TO BE ABLE TO SCHEDULE ME AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED.

THIS PAST WEEK, TWO OF THE 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN. THESE ARE DOORS THAT ARE SELDOM USED. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME THAT THE REMAINING DOORS WILL BE AFFECTED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND YOUTUBE AND IT IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PART - THE CHEEP PLASTIC THEY DECIDED TO USE JUST CRUMBLED IN THE DOOR. INSTEAD THEY WANT ME TO PAY $340.00 FOR PARTS ONLY FOR "ONE" DOOR AND THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTALLATION.

ALL FOUR DOOR PANEL / LATCHES ARE BREAKING OUT OF THE PLASTIC DOOR PANEL RESULTING IN NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN DOORS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR.

AFTER CRANKING MY JEEP, THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD A LOUD CLICKING/TICKING SOUND. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE AIRBAG IS TRYING TO CONNECT BUT DOESN'T. IT HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE THIS SOUNDS OFF AND ON SINCE. NO SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN SINCE IT DOESN'T DO IT EVERY TIME. I DID ASK ABOUT IT WHEN GETTING MY OIL CHANGED. NO ONE COULD TELL ME ANYTHING UNLESS THEY TAKE THE DASH OUT AND I CAN'T BE THAT LONG WITHOUT A RIDE SINCE I WORK DAILY.

ROARING ROAD NOISE WHEN DRIVING. NONE WHILE SITTING STILL. EVEN WITH NEW TIRES THE ROAR REMAINS. SOMETIMES IT IS SO LOUD IF TALKING TO SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE, IT IS DIFFICULT TO HEAR THEM. SOMETIMES IT IS A SOFT ROAR.

WHEN OPENING THE HOOD FOR OIL CHANGES OR WHEN OPENING THE BACK LIFT, THE HYDRAULIC SUPPORT RODS DO NOT HOLD. I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED TWICE EACH AND AFTER A SHORT TIME THEY FAIL TO HOLD.

DOOR HANDLES TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM INSIDE BREAK UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLE ARE BRITTLE AND CAN BREAK UNDER NORMAL OPENING. THIS CAN BE A HAZARD IF NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN DEC 2014 FROM A USED DEALER. PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAD SMALL CRACK AS WELL AS DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. ON 2/19/15 WHILE EXITING VEHICLE, DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR HANDLE CRACKED SIGNIFICANTLY AND WAS VERY LOOSE. SINCE THEN, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS CRACKED VERY BAD ALSO. THIS AFTERNOON 8/10/15, WHILE GETTING BACK INTO MY VEHICLE THE ENTIRE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR INTERIOR HANDLE FELL COMPLETELY OFF AND INTO THE STREET. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUSLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION, IF THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE CAN NOT EXIT THE CAR WITHOUT ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN THEN REACHING OUT OF CAR TO OPEN DOOR USING EXTERIOR HANDLE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND MY VEHICLE FLIPS ONTO ITS PASSENGER SIDE. I CAN NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE AT ALL! UNLESS I CLIMB INTO THE BACK SEAT AND OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. JEEP CHRSYLER NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL INTERIOR HANDLES ON THIS VEHICLE ASAP, AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

I WAS ENTERING A PARKING LOT WHEN I SAW ANOTHER CAR EXITING. I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO SUDDEN RAPID ACCELERATION. I PUSHED HARDER ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR SPED UP TO AT LEAST 60 MPH. I HIT THE CAR THAT WAS COMING OUT OF THE LOT BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP MY CAR. THE CAR THAT I HIT HIT A PARKED CAR. MY VEHICLE THEN SPED AHEAD HITTING ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP. I SPED OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND MY CAR FINALLY CAME TO A STOP IN A SHOPPING CENTER. THIS WAS THE LAST EXPERIENCE WITH SUDDEN RAPID ACCELERATION IN THIS JEEP. NO ONE IN MY HOUSEHOLD HAS DRIVEN THE JEEP SINCE. MY DAUGHTER EXPERIENCED THE SAME RAPID ACCELERATION IN FEBRUARY WHILE SHE WAS PARKING. SHE WAS GOING IN REVERSE TO PARK BETWEEN TWO PARKED CARS. THE JEEP ACCELERATED SO RAPIDLY SHE HIT THE CAR PARKED BEHIND. THE PARKED CAR SHE HIT WAS TOTALED.THE DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER DROPPED THE CASE. IN MY CASE CHRYSLER SENT AN INSPECTOR TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER DETERMINED THAT THAT THEY WOULD NOT CHANGE THEIR PREVIOUS POSITION AND DENIED ANY MECHANICAL DEFECT. WE HAVE A CAR WE ARE TERRIFIED TO DRIVE. IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE MECHANICAL DEFECT CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED.

MY SONS VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE INTO THIRD GEAR CAUSING SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON IT RESETS BUT THE PROBLEM CAN REOCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE TAKEN TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY RELOADED SOME SOFTWARE BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AS AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP SINCE 2014, THAT HASN'T BEEN FIX OR DONE. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS (CUTS OFF AND ALL LIGHTS COMES ON). TOOK TO THE JEEP PLACE AND THEY STATE; OH NO! THIS ISN'T BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. WRONG ANSWER. THEY WERE WANTING ME TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THINGS NOT WRONG WITH MY CAR. NO WARRANTY WITH WHAT THEY WERE GONE TO FIX. TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. "THE RECALL"...NO PART TO BE FOUND. THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD UNTIL CHRYSLER GETS ME A PART. I'M DRIVING MY CAR THAT CUTS OFF ON ME. I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CAR, I'M A WIDOW. HOW CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK THAT I HAVE SPEND AND GET MY CAR FIX?

THE INSIDE OF MY RIGHT REAR DOOR CRACKED ALL THE WAY IN. TO REPLACE IT THEY QUOTED AROUND 600.00. WHICH THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR ARE CHEAP MADE. SO IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY PASSENGERS

MY COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS AND HANDLES FOR MY VEHICLE. ALL FOUR DOORS HAVE CRACKS IN THE CASING THAT LEAD TO THE HANDLE. ONE OF THE LEVERS HAS ACTUALLY BROKEN OFF(THE PASSENGER SEAT SIDE BEHIND THE DRIVER/LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE). I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF LANDMARK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENTIRE PANEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THEY QUOTED TO ME A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $600 FOR EACH DOOR, MEANING IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT $2,400 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAN NOT BE A FLUKE THAT ALL 4 DOORS HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM CONCERNED THAT I, OR ANY PASSENGERS I MAY HAVE, WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I'M SURE THAT THERE ARE OTHER JEEP OWNERS OUT THERE WHO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE HELP.

ON 6/30/2015 I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR P73 WARRANTY RECALL. ON7/12/2015 , WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, MY 2005 JEEP SHIFTED INTO LOW 4 WHEEL DRIVE , WITHOUT ANY TOUCHING OF THE LEVER TO SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT TOOK A COUPLE BLOCKS DRIVING VERY SLOW TO DISENGAGE FROM THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW. I HAVE AN APPT. TO RETURN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE SERVICE, TO HAVE IT CHECKED. RIGHT NOW I AM HESITANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, FOR FEAR IT WILL SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE AGAIN, WITHOUT MY DOING ANYTHING, WHICH COULD DO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AT THE VERY LEAST. I AM REPORTING THIS SO OTHERS MIGHT BE INFORMED THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE REPROGRAM OF THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE.

DOOR HANDLES / DOOR PANEL FALLING/ BREAKING APART ON 2 DOORS.

CAR DID NOT TURN ON. IGNITION SWITCH.

THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE SNAPPED OFF THE DOOR PANEL. SUBSEQUENT TO THAT, THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER HANDLE SNAPPED OFF AS WELL. BOTH OF THE FRONT HANDLES ARE CRACKED AND ON THE BRINK OF BREAKING OFF. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, A REAR PASSENGER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT EITHER GOING THROUGH A WINDOW OR A FRONT DOOR.

ALL OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ARE BROKEN. ALL FOUR OF THEM WERE REPLACED ONCE. A FEW MONTHS AFTER BEING REPLACE THEY ALL BROKE ONCE AGAIN. SO NOW THE DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE, AND TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THE WINDOWS HAVE TO BE ROLLED DOWN TO OPEN WITH THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. THE JEEP DEALER WAS CALLED. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE AND CALLED IT "WEAR AND TEAR". THIS IS A BIG ISSUE, MY PASSENGERS AND I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY JEEP UNLESS THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN AND REACH OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO OPEN WITH OUTSIDE HANDLE. IT IS ALSO HARD FOR ME TO DO AT TIMES BECAUSE I AM A PETITE WOMAN.

THE DOOR HANDLE HOUSING IN FRONT AND REAR DOORS HAVE SHATTERED CAUSING OPEN/CLOSING MECHANISM TO FAIL.

THE CAR WOULD DIE AFTER BEING AT A STOP SIGN AND ACCELERATING TO PULL OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION LEAVING MY DAUGHTER WITH NO POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS JEEP FROM THE FIRST OWNER. WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS TO GET THIS CORRECTED. I CALL THE LOCAL DEALER EVERY 3-4 MONTHS TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. WITH THE FIRST INCIDENT AND MAYBE THE SECOND, THE RECALL HADN'T BEEN ISSUED. WE FIRST THOUGHT WE NEEDED TO CHANGE OUT THE SPARK PLUGS. AFTER NOT GETTING ANY ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THERE IS NO AVAILABLE PART, WE CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL CENTER. AFTER WAITING OVER TWO HOURS TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE AND ONLY GETTING THE RECORDED GREETING, WE GAVE UP. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED AT THIS POINT AS OUR YOUNGEST DAUGHTER IS USING THIS VEHICLE. WE LOVE THIS CAR BUT SAFETY COMES FIRST. AFTER READING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY CHRYSLER REGARDING ITS DESCRIPTED "THE PROBLEM", ETHICALLY, I COULDN'T SELL THIS TO ANYONE KNOWING IT HAS A RECALL.

I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE P41/NHTSA 14V-438 IN SEPT. 2014. AS OF APRIL 17, MORE THAN SIX MONTHS LATER, CHRYSLER HAS NOT REMEDIED THIS DEFECT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT TO THEM. *TR

IGNITION TURNED OFF FROM TOUCHING THE KEY WHILE DRIVING CAUSING MY JEEP'S ENGINE TO STALL. NO POWER STEERING. WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE JANUARY OF 2015. I REMOVED THE KEY CHAIN BUT IT STILL HAPPENED AGAIN. THE KEYS'S IGNITION SETS TO CLOSE TO CONTROL PANELS.

MY HUSBAND I WHERE IN A HEAD ON CRASH WITH THIS VEHICLE, SURVIVED WITH SERIOUS INJURIES. SINCE THE ACCIDENT WE HAVE BEEN GETTING DIFFERENT RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS MAKING US WONDER IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE MAL-FUNCTION THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. NOT SURE OF THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. *TR

ALL INTERIOR DOOR HINGES ARE ATTACHED TO A PLASTIC HOUSING AND THAT HOUSING HAS BEGUN TO CRUMBLE ON ALL FOUR DOORS. THE DOOR HINGES ARE CHEAP PLASTIC AND HAVE AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I HAVE SEARCHED THE WEB REGARDING THIS DEFECT, AND I AM NOT SURPRISED TO SEE THOUSANDS OF FOLKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE, AND MANY MORE POSTING THROUGHOUT THE WEB OF JEEP OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS HAZARD BECAUSE IT WOULD PREVENT ANYONE FROM EXITING THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY (SAY A FIRE).

RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN CARE OF ON 2/28/2014. BUT ON 3/05/2014 AROUND 530PM ON THE PARKWAY GOING HOME FROM WORK MY JEEP STARTED TO HESITANT AND THEN AN EXIT AWAY MY SLIPPERY INDICATION LIGHT CAME ON AND IT MADE ME NERVOUS SO WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED THE JEEP CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED SO I CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPEN AND THE RECEPTIONIST SAID SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK. THAT WAS ABOUT 8 AM THEN I CALLED MY JOB TO LET THEM KNOW I'D BE LATE. IT WAS GOING ON ALMOST 10AM NO ONE CALLED SO I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME SOMEONE WILL CALL SO I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND THEN WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T LOOK AT MY CAR UNTIL MONDAY OR TUESDAY. I'M VERY UPSET BECAUSE I USE MY CAR TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND I'M GOING TO MISS NOW 3 DAYS BECAUSE OF IT AND THEY WOULDNT EVEN GIVE ME A RENTAL SO I WOULDN'T MISS WORK. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF AS WELL AS THE SLIPPERY INDICATION LIGHT. HOW AM I GOING TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK NEXT WEEK? HELP! *TR

CHECKING TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALL. *TR

PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE CASING IS CRACKED ON FRONT DRIVER DOOR INTERIOR. PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE CASING IS COMPLETELY BROKEN ON LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR INTERIOR, CAUSING DOOR HANDLE TO HANG AND BE UNSAFE TO USE. NO INCIDENT CAUSED THIS OTHER THAN A PASSENGER SIMPLY TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR TO EXIT. AS IT REMAINS, THE REAR PASSENGER CAN NOT SAFELY EXIT THE CAR DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *LN

INSIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILURE, DUE TO BREAKAGE OF PLASTIC SUPPORT/HOUSING. PRESENTS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXIT VEHICLE. DOOR MAY ONLY BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE.

I OWN A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AIR CONDITIONER WOULD ONLY FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN ON HIGH SETTING. IF I TRY TO PUT IT IN A LOWER SETTING THE AIR CONDITIONER SHUTS OFF. DEALER SERVICE CENTER STATED THAT A HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

MY JEEP IS DOWN TO ONLY THE TWO FRONT DOOR HANDLES WHICH ARE COMPLETELY CRACKED AND READY TO BREAK OFF AT ANY TIME. THE REAR DOORS HAVE NO HANDLES AND POSE A SERIOUS RISK IF THE VEHICLE IS EVER IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND PEOPLE ARE TRAPPED INSIDE. JEEP NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THEIR MISTAKE.

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLES BREAKING/FAILING: 1 REAR DOOR TOTALLY INOPERABLE. ***THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE IF HANDLES BREAK OR ARE INOPERABLE IN CERTAIN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, PASSENGERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!*** MANUFACTURER CHARGE TO REPLACE/REPAIR HANDLES IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE: IN MY CASE, THE COST OF EIGHT (8) MONTHLY CAR PAYMENTS! MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL WARRANTY. *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ON 3 OF THE 4 DOORS ON MY GRAND CHEROKEE ARE BROKEN AND SHOW STRESS FRACTURES AROUND THE INTEROIR DOOR HANDLE, THE PART OF THE DOOR BEHIND THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE REST OF THE DOOR PANEL. THIS PART IS VERY WEAK AND PRONE TO FRACTURE, MAKING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FALL FREE INTO THE VEHICLE. THE DOORS ARE BARELY OPERABLE AND I AM WORRIED IN A COLLISION THESE DOORS WILL NOT FUNCTION. THE FRONT PANELS COST $750 A PIECE AND THE REARS COST $450. I CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AS THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. JEEP AND CHRYSLER ARE WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS I FOUND OUT WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW AND IF CHRYSLER ISN'T GOING TO DO IT WILLINGLY IT FALLS TO THE NTSB TO STEP IN AND PREVENT NEEDLESS DEATHS DUE TO FAULTY DOOR HANDLES.

WHEN OPENING REAR DOOR, HANDLE BROKE IN SEVERAL PLACES. PERSON OPENING DOOR WAS ONLY 4 SO IT WAS DUE TO THE OVER EXERTION. IT IS NOW NOT POSSIBLE TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR FROM INSIDE THE CAR.

SUMMARY: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES: I OWN A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE HANDLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ARE BREAKING FROM THE DOOR PANEL, THEY ARE LITERALLY HANGING BY A THREAD. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AS I CAN'T GET THE DOORS OPEN SOMETIMES UNLESS I ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN AND REACH THROUGH. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF IN EMERGENCY WE COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND HAS ESCALATED SINCE. I DON'T FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. CHRYSLER IS EVEN DENYING THAT THEY KNOW OF ANY SUCH PROBLEM, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES IN DECEMBER 2010 AT 42,000 MILES OUR 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (LIMITED) DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE DRIVERS' DOOR HANDLE HOUSING CAUSING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE TO COME LOOSE FROM THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL. (THE DOOR HANDLE IS SET IN A HOLE MADE OF THIN PLASTIC THAT FUNCTIONS AS A PIVOT HINGE. ONCE THE PLASTIC CRACKS THEN THE HANDLE JUST POPS OUT OF THE DOOR PANEL.) THEN IN JANUARY 2011, THE RIGHT REAR DOOR HANDLE DEVELOPED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS DOOR HANDLE ALSO CAME OUT OF THE HANDLE HOUSING, AND IT CAN NO LONGER BE OPENED FROM INSIDE THE CAR. UPON INSPECTION WE DISCOVERED THAT BOTH THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND REAR LEFT PASSENGER DOOR HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC IN THE SAME PLACE, AND WILL LIKELY BREAK SOON. WE NOTE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 42 IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS LODGED ON THE NHTSA SITE INVOLVING THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. HERE IN FLORIDA, WITH FREQUENT OPPORTUNITIES TO RUN OFF THE ROAD INTO LAKES OR CANALS, THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS, POSSIBLY CAUSING PERSONS TO DROWN IN THE CAR WHEN UNABLE TO UNLATCH THE DOOR IN AN EMERGENCY. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECORD OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY DO NOT FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD COVER THE REPAIRS IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SOME OTHER PERSONS WHO HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE STATE THAT TO REPAIR THE DOOR HANDLE REQUIRES A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE SIDE DOOR PANELS AT A COST OF OVER $700 PER DOOR. IT IS ENTIRELY UNREASONABLE THAT A CAR WOULD HAVE NO WORKABLE DOOR HANDLES AFTER JUST 5 YEARS OR 42,000 MILES OF USE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, NOR IS IT REASONABLE WEAR AND TEAR. WE RARELY HAVE BACK SEAT PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE. IT IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION.

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR PANEL PLASTIC MOULDINGS SURROUNDING AND ENCASING THE DOOR HANDLES HAS BROKEN WITH PIECES FALLING INSIDE THE DOOR. THE DOOR PANEL NO LONGER SECURELY HOLDS THE HANDLE MECHANISM AND ON OCCASION JAMS THE HANDLE.. THESE FAILURES WERE NOT DUE TO UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR ABUSE, BUT RATHER FAILURES OCCURRED IN NORMAL ENTRY AND EGRESS ACTIVITY FROM THE VEHICLE. NO USED REPLACEMENT DOOR PANELS CAN BE FOUND VIA USED PART OUTLETS SHOWING THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, AND OEM REPLACEMENT/REPAIR COSTS ARE OUTRAGEOUS AND IS NEARLY $2000 (I UNDERSTAND THESE PLASTIC MOULDINGS ARE ON NATIIONAL BACKORDER). NUMEROUS IDENTICAL INCIDENTS OF THIS FAILURE ARE EVIDENTLY PROLIFIC AS SOURCED BY INTERNET CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RESEARCH ON THE JEEP CHEROKEE AS WELL AS COMPLAINTS POSTED WITH THE DOT/NHTS. PLEASE ADD MY MOST VOCAL AND SERIOUS COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM POTENTIALLY PROHIBITS EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE SHOULD AN ACCIDENT REQUIRE SUCH ACTION, NOT TO MENTION THE COSTS TO THE CONSUMER DUE TO A FAULTY PRODUCT. A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATE AND SUSTAINED FOR ANY CONSUMER WHO EXPECTS TO BE ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE A VEHICLE DOOR FOR THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES, ALL 4, BROKE OFF, AT ALMOST THE SAME TIME. THERE IS A COMMON MANUFACTURERS MATERIAL DEFECT, AS THE DOOR HANDLE "POCKET" IS MADE OUT A BRITTLE PLASTIC, AND THEY JUST SHATTERED, OR CRACKED SIMPLY BY USING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN AN EMERGENCY, ONE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IF THE DOOR HANDLE BREAKS OFF IN YOUR HAND.

REAR DEFROST DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. UPPER PORTION OF DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK WHILE THE LOWER PORTION DOES WORK MINIMALLY.

CONSUMER COMPLAINT CONCERNING 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CONTINUES TO FAIL AND DEALER REFUSES TO BUY BACK VEHICLE. *KB *JB

NEW 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN IN/OUT OF DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES FOR LEAKS IN FRONT A-PILLARS. HAS BEEN IN SHOP 2X FOR THE TRANSMISSION RECALL, AND A MISTAKE THEY MADE COMPLETING THE SERVICES. CAR IS GOING INTO SHOP AGAIN BECAUSE THE AUTO SENSOR ON THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR IS MALFUNCTIONING. WE FILED LEMON LAW WITH DAIMLER, AND ARE AWAITING A RESPONSE. FILING COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE OF OREGON ON THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE ISSUES. *JB

I NOTICED BIRD DROPPINGS ON HOOD. WASHED CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. BIRD DROPPINGS HAD EATEN THROUGH CLEAR COAT AND PAINT RIGHT DOWN TO BARE METAL. CALLED DEALER WHERE PURCHASED, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT CHRYSLER. I E-MAILED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. RECENTLY HAD REPAIRED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. *JB

I HAVE A REDESIGNED 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE PURCHASED IN JAN 05. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PAINT CHIPPING ON THE ON THE LOWER BODY AREA JUST IN FRONT OF THE REAR WHEELS. I HAVE OWNED TWO PRIOR JEEPS (96, 94) AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. FACTORY REP SAYS IT IS IN THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HAVE NOTICED PROBLEM ON OTHER 2005'S AS WELL. *NM
