  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!

  JEEP DOOR HANDLES ARE FAULTY. THE PLASTIC SURROUNDING THE DOOR HANDLE IS A FAULTY PRODUCT. THE PLASTIC STARTS CRACKING AND FALLING APART. THEN THE ACTUAL HANDLE HAS NO SUPPORT AND BEGINS TO HAVE PROBLEMS. I CAN NO LONGER LOCK THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. THREE DOORS ARE AFFECTED THUS FAR. *TR

  NOTICED IN 2010 THAT SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC WAS MISSING BEHIND ONE DOOR HANDLE. THIS IS A LIGHTLY USED ONE PERSON COMMUTER VEHICLE. THEN IN DECEMBER 2011 ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES BEGAN TO FAIL. EACH HAS MISSING PIECES OF PLASTIC BEHIND EACH HANDLE THAT COMPROMISE THEIR USE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW AND SERVICED SINCE 2006. WAS ADVISED IT WOULD BE $750 PER DOOR TO FIX AS THE DOOR HANDLES ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE PLASTIC DOOR PANEL. COMPLETE FAILURE OF ALL FOUR HANDLES IS IMMINENT. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY. A BRIEF SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT IS WIDESPREAD IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IT IS CLEAR THAT BOTH THE MATERIAL AND DESIGN USED IS DEFECTIVE. REPLACEMENT WITH OM PARTS WILL NOT FIX, AS THE PROBLEMS IS WITH THE DESIGN AND MATERIAL. PLEASE HELP US GET THIS ISSUE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. IT IS A FORESEEABLE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT DEATH COULD RESULT. IF A CONSUMER IS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT, AND THE HANDLES FAIL, THE CONSUMER WOULD BE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE OR WATER CRASH, THE DEATH OF THE CONSUMER WOULD BE DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO MANUFACTURE NEGLIGENCE. *KB

  AS I WAS LEAVING A SHOPPING CENTER ABOUT 40 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE MY JEEP AND AS I ENTERED ONTO THE INTERSTATE THE JEEP ACTED LIKE I WAS HAVING A FLAT TIRE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING AND GIVING ME A LOT OF VIBRATION AND THE FLOP FLOP SOUND YOU GET FROM A FLAT TIRE. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT BUT NO FLAT TIRE, LOOSE LUG NUTS OR ANYTHING I COULD FIND. PUT FLASHERS ON AND HEADED UP THE ROAD SLOWLY NOT GOING OVER 45 MPH. IT FINALLY QUIT AND I WAS ABLE TO INCREASE SPEED. IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS WOBBLE SOUND ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING OFF AND ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THE ONLY THING MATCHED WHAT HAPPEN WAS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. SOME VEHICLES HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS BUT I DON'T SEE ANY FOR MY YEAR.

  ISSUE 1 - ALL THE INTERNAL DOOR HANDLED HAVE BROKEN. THIS LIMITS PASSENGER EGRESS IN THE EVEN OF AN ACCIDENT. ISSUE 2 - THIS PAST WEEKEND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE CAR FLICKERED AND BRIEFLY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS INCLUDES THE HEADLIGHTS, PARKING LIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS, AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS. IT APPEARS THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHT SWITCH MECHANISM IN THE MULTI FUNCTION TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY.

  MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A RECALL FROM JEEP CHRYSLER BUT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. MY KEY IGNITION WILL AND HAS SHUT OFF ALL BY IT SELF CAUSING ME TO LOOSE STEERING, BRAKES AND TOTAL CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AS I PURCHASED IT IN APRIL OF 2014 AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IF I KNEW OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION LIKE THE CHEVROLET VEHICLES. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND ONE HAND ON MY KEY/IGNITION TO DRIVE. I FEEL THIS IS NOT SAFE AND JEEP CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME TO STOP DRIVING THIS VEHICLE OR DRIVE SAFELY. HOW CAN I DRIVE SAFELY WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT IS CLEARLY A MAJOR ISSUE WITH ALL IGNITIONS ON SEVERAL YEARS OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S. JEEP TOLD ME I CANNOT GET A NEW IGNITION TILL I RECEIVE A SECOND MAIL LETTER TELLING ME THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE PUSH JEEP TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A GREAT DANGER TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE TO CAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE. *JS

  I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL SINCE I RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES, IT WAS RECALL N23. THIS CAUSED A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I COULD NOT SHIFT INTO 4LO ON A STEEP SLIPPERY MUDDY HILL. PRIOR TO THE RECALL THE VEHICLES TRANSFER CASE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY HOWEVER NOW IT IS NOT AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS CLAIMED THAT IT IS A SEPARATE PART THAT BROKE. HOWEVER ONE DEALER INDICATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY FLASH OF THE RECALL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE CHARGED TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT WAS CAUSED BY A RECALL. *TR

• 12/29/2013· POWER TRAIN

  WE HAD THE RECALL DONE ON THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2005. THEY REFLASHED THE ECU THAT CONTROLS THE ABILITY TO SHIFT THE JEEP INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO TOW BEHIND MOTOR HOME. AFTER THE RECALL WE HAD TROUBLE 3 TIMES WITH THE JEEP EITHER NOT SHIFTING FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE OR FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPEN THE JEEP WAS STRANDED AS MY WIFE COULD NOT PULL IT BEHIND THE MOTORHOME. ULTIMATELY I HAD TO GO TO FLORIDA AND WE DROVE THE MOTORHOME AND JEEP BACK SEPARATELY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND AT THIS POINT I DO NOT HAVE CONFIRMATION THAT THIS WILL BE FIXED AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM I, BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES, I BELIEVE THAT JEEP SHOULD FIX THE VEHICLE EVEN IF IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I INTEND ON TAKING THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK AND IF I DO NOT GET SATISFACTION I WILL FILE ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WOULD FORCE JEEP TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. *TR

  3 OF 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES AND PANEL TO WHICH THEY ATTACH APPEAR TO BE BROKEN (CRACKED) AND ONE IS NON FUNCTIONING. AFTER A GOOGLE SEARCH OF "JEEP INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE", I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. REPAIR COSTS EXCEED $2000 DOLLARS FROM THE DEALER. ALTHOUGH THE AESTHETICS OF THIS REMAINS ANNOYING TO OWNERS, THE REAL PROBLEM LIES IN THE FACT THAT DOOR(S) ARE INOPERABLE FROM THE INSIDE AND COULD POTENTIALLY "TRAP" PEOPLE IN ACCIDENTS. *TR

  PURCHASED VEHICLE 8/9/08. AT THIS TIME ONLY PROBLEM WE WAS YOU HAD TO PRESS CLOCK BUTTON FOR RADIO TO WORK. DURING 2008 WE NOTICED A LOT OF ODD BEHAVIOR IN ELECTRICAL AREAS. OCTOBER 29, 2009 BROUGHT JEEP TO USED CAR DEALERSHIP WITH THESE COMPLAINTS: FIRST CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON, THEN IT BEGAN FLASHING, DOOR CHIME STARTS DINGING, ILLUMINATED AREAS DIM & BRIGHTEN-FLASHING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO CRAZY FLASHING ON & OFF, INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN ON & OFF, TRANSMISSION LIGHTS GO CRAZY & NEED TO SHIFT DOWN IN ORDER TO GET VEHICLE TO DRIVE, HEADLIGHTS & TAIL LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING ON A DARK HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. USED CAR DEALERSHIP HAD CAR TOWED TO JEEP DEALERSHIP IN NEW LONDON. THESE REPAIRS COST $500.12 FOR FAULTY CRANK SENSOR, SENSOR CRANKSHAFT, SPARK PLUGS, LEAK AT TRANS ELECTRICAL. AUGUST 17, 2011 TOOK TO A NEW DEALERSHIP W/ SAME PROBLEMS. WENT TO VALENTI JEEP IN MYSTIC, CT. WAS ADVISED JUNCTION BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND CODES IN MULTIPLE MODULES RESET-THIS COST $318.52. SEPTEMBER 10, 2011 BACK TO VALENTI JEEP FOR SAME PROBLEMS & FOR INSTALL. OF JUNCTION BOX COSTING $249.00 BECAUSE OF INSTALLATION COSTS & OTHER ITEMS WE WERE ADVISED TO TAKE CARE OF. MEANWHILE AS A WARNING THIS ALL BEGINS AFTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING. BY SEPTEMBER 28, 2011 IT BEGINS AGAIN: AT THIS TIME CHECK ENGINE LIGHT & ALL OTHER LIGHTS START UP AGAIN, ALONG WITH FACT THAT YOU CAN NOW PULL KEY OUT & VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING. BLINKING DASH LIGHTS, AC ON & OFF, GAUGES DROP TO 0, TOLD ONLY REASON THIS IS HAPPENING IS BECAUSE WE HAVE REMOTE START SYSTEM THEY DON'T USE. TECH RESET SYSTEM & DISCONNECTED OUR REMOTE START SYSTEM AT A COST OF $90.40. THEN BY OCTOBER OF 2011-APPROXIMATELY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS RETURNED & TRANSMISSION LIGHTS ARE BLINKING. ALSO HEADLIGHTS STARTED FLASHING & TAIL LIGHTS. THESE ISSUES ARE VERY SPORADIC. *TR

  OVER THE PAST YEAR, BOTH DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANELS ON MY 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE (LIMITED) HAVE BROKEN. PIECES AROUND THE OPENING HANDLE HAVE SNAPPED OFF. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS STILL USABLE, BUT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS JUST HANGING THERE. THESE WERE NOT DAMAGED THROUGH ABUSE, INSTEAD JUST ROUTINE USE. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED MY DEALER AS I HAVE SEEN ON LINE THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THEIR WARRANTIES TO BACK THEIR CLAIM AND I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO GO OUT OF THEIR WAY FOR A WARRANTY CLAIM. HOPEFULLY THE NHTSA CAN MAKE DAIMLER / CHRYSLER / JEEP / FIAT, WHOEVER STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND REPAIR WHAT HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH PROVEN TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

  I OWN A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS 2 SPECIFIC PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. JEEP CLAIMS THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND/OR CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO FIX. NO ERROR CODES ETC HOWEVER IF SOMEONE WOULD JUST READ THE JEEP FORUMS THEY WILL SEE THIS IS A "NATIONWIDE" ISSUE THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH HUNDREDS OF NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS. HER FIRST ISSUE WITH MY JEEP IS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SITTING IDLE WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF. OF THE 8 TO 10 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPEN, TWICE THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO START UP AGAIN. WE HAD TO GIVE THE CAR ABOUT 5 MINS AND THEN IT STARTED RIGHT UP. DEALER FOUND SOME "RANDOM" ERROR CODES THAT WE WERE TOLD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE WE WERE HAVING. AT THE THIRD TIME WE TOO THE JEEP TO THE DEALER THEY CHANGED A SENOR AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FILTER AND FLUID. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND ON THE FOURTH TRIP TO DEALERSHIP THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE PER JEEP IN DETROIT. STILL NOT FIXED AND THE DEALER SHIP IS TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. AFTER THE DEALER SHIP INSTALLED THE NEW SOFTWARE, THE SECOND ISSUE STARTED. THIS ISSUE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND WILL RESULT IN A LAWSUIT IF NOT FIXED. WHEN DRIVING AT REALLY ANY NORMAL SPEED THE CAR WILL ACT AS IF I THE DRIVER AM HITTING THE BRAKES REALLY HARD. NOT HARD ENOUGH TO LOCK THE WHEELS BUT HARD ENOUGH TO LEAVE A SEAT BELT REDNESS ON MY NECK FROM BEING SLUG FORWARD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE RED BRAKE LIKE AND YELLOW ABS LIGHT COMES ON. THE ISSUE HAPPENS FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THE CAR JUST REGROUPS AND KEEPS GOING. WE HAVE LOST COUNT OF THIS ISSUE BUY MY GUESS IS THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES. ON THE LAST 3-5 TIMES WHEN THE CAR LOCKS UP IT TURNS OFF THE RADIO WHEN IN THE PAST THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE ADDING MORE PROBLEMS AS TIME GOES ON. JEEP NEEDS TO READ THE FORUMS. *NM

  2005 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED. THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS REGARDING THE PLASTIC DOOR PANELS INTERIOR OF THE CAR. WITH ALL 4 DOORS CRACKED AND 1 ( DRIVERS DOOR) WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY TO ALL OCCUPANTS IN THIS CAR. WITH A CRASH OR FIRE TO HAPPEN AND YOU CANT GET OUT OF A DOOR DUE TO POOR DESIGN OF THE DOOR BY THE MANUFACTURE. THESES DOOR PANELS START OUT WITH SMALL HAIR CRACKS AND ONE TIME OF OPENING THE DOOR YOU HAVE CRACKED ALL THE PLASTIC AND NOT ABLE TO OPEN UP THE DOOR. I FEEL THAT JEEP NEEDS TO STAND UP AND CORRECT THIS ISSUE ON A RECALL. AFTER THIS HAPPENING YOU CAN TAKE IT IN AND THEY WILL PUT THE NEW DESIGN THAT DOESN'T HAVE THIS POOR DESIGN FOR JUST OVER 800 DOLLARS A DOOR. SO WITH THIS MANUFACTURE MAKING A CHANGE TO THE PANEL, SAYS THEY KNEW IT WAS A POOR DESIGN. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY UNDERSTANDING JEEPS OF 2005- TO AROUND 2010.

  I "RECALL" DRIVING ONE EVENING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 05 GRAND CHEROKEE WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST ALL POWER. I WAS TRAVELING IN A CONGESTED AREA AT 65 MPH WITH LOTS OF SEMI'S SURROUNDING ME. THANK THE GOD'S I HAPPEN TO BE ON THE PERFECT INCLINE LEADING TO AN OFF RAMP AT THE TIME OF THIS ENGINE POWER FAILURE. I'D HATE TO IMAGINE THE OUT COME HAD I BEEN ONE LANE OVER A FEW SECONDS PRIOR! MY SON WHO WAS ONLY 5 AT THE TIME WAS A BIT FREAKED OUT FROM THE WHOLE ORDEAL. BUT MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THAT I'M A JEEP GIRL AND A FAITHFUL ONE BUT AFTER MY CONSTANT BATTLE WITH THIS LESS THEN DESIRABLE HUNK OF JUNK I'M THINKING OF CHEATING WITH A FORD! AFTER MY DAILY FAILURES WITH THIS THING I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE FAR SURPASSES THE TWO RECALLS IN MY SHORT 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. I'M MOST UPSET WITH MY DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE FACT THEY FORGOT TO MENTION A FEW HUNDRED DRIVERS OF THIS PRIOR RENTAL TRUCK WITH AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS MORE THAN A SKIP OVER THE CURB. THEY OFFERED BUT NEVER MADE GOOD ON PROVIDING ME WITH OWNERS MANUAL...GUESS THEY WERE WORRIED I WOULD NOTICE THE PAST SAFETY RECALLS THAT WERE NEVER DONE. SO I HAVE HAD AND CONTINUE TO HAVE EVERY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION ON THIS HEAP KNOWN TO MECHANICS. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF PAYING FOR THINGS THAT "JEEPS ARE KNOWN FOR" WHEN IN TRUTH ITS ALL BEEN A RESULT TO THE VISCOUS CYCLE OF RECALLS THAT WERE EITHER NEVER DONE OR NEVER THE PROPER FIX TO BEGIN WITH. SO I BEG THE HEADS, MONEY AND ENGINEERS OF CHRYSLER GROUP LLC TO GET YOUR [XXX] TOGETHER AND DO THE RIGHT THING BY REMOVING THE 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 5.7 LITER WITH A HEMI DEATH TRAP OFF THE ROADS!

I HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER, WHERE I WATCHED MY RPM GAUGE PIN AT 6000 RPM FOR APPROX. 30 - 45 SECONDS. IT FINALLY WENT BACK TO NORMAL AS I WAS BRINGING IT TO A STOP IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS IS THE 3RD AND MOST SEVERE TIME IN 6 MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

  TL* - THE CONTACT STATED AFTER PURCHASING A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT SHE DISCOVERED THAT THE SEAT BELT STRAPS DID NOT HAVE ADEQUATE LENGTH TO SECURELY LOCK INTO THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY FOR LARGE OCCUPANTS. THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED FREE SEAT BELT EXTENDERS BUT SHE STILL FEELS THAT SEAT BELT EXTENDERS WON'T KEEP HER SAFE IN AN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. CONTACT CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF SEAT BELTS IF NEEDED.

  MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS HAD ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES CRACK AND 1 HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS VEHICLE, AND SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. IN ANY OCCASION WHERE EXITING THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IS NECESSARY, BROKEN DOOR HANDLE(S) CAN RISK INJURY AND DEATH TO OCCUPANTS. THIS IS NOT A MINOR ISSUE, JUST LIKE AN EMERGENCY EXIT IN A BUILDING, IT CAN BE POTENTIALLY FATAL. NHTSA OWES THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE COMMON COURTESY TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS POSSES A HUGE RISK FOR IT'S CITIZENS. PLEASE PROTECT OUR RIGHT TO SAFE VEHICLES, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF AUTO MAKERS TO REMEDY ANY ERRORS IN DESIGN THAT PERTAIN TO HUMAN SAFETY! *TR
