My vehicle was driving fine, then all of the sudden i lost all lights, all ignition, a/c everything except the engine. I lost speedometer airbags. The car acted like it was shut off but the engine was still going. My ignition has had problems since august 2014 and i have been calling my dealer every week to find out about parts. The parts have taken longer than a reasonable time to become available. My car now lights up (every check engine, traction control, seatbelt, oil, airbag, every light on the dash) at least 3 times in a half hour period. Was told by the dealer it was due to a faulty ignition. My car will not pass california smog with the check engine light coming on multiple times in my trip anywhere. I was told september 11th they would have the parts available. Then it was moved to october 11th. Chrysler needs to focus more on their customers safety and reliability of their vehicle. It should not take over a year to replace ignition.

Car's side airbag kept switching on and off one day while driving the jeep.
I have been waiting and waiting to get this problem rendered. I received a recall notice about the faulty ignition switch and the slew of possible fatal consequences should anything occur. The recall notice is p41/nhtsa 14v-438, and ive been told i would receive a second recall notice in september 2015. Well, im still waiting!!. Meanwhile i am driving a potentially dangerous vehicle and have been for quite awhile. I have no choice. I have already noticed my check engine light stays lit on my dash, as well as my airbag light as well indicating that i already have issues occurring that are according to the recall notice is linked to this problem. I want this fixed. I cant afford to buy another vehicle and need the one i have. However, am i suppossed to get seriously injured or killed first? then what,? a family member receives a check? who cares about the money if i'm killed? i am seriously annoyed and concerned, please render this issue. And i'm sick of hearing "we dont have the part". I need this vehicle fixed now!!! its been too long already.
Air bag dash light came on and stays on after startup. I took the jeep in to texan : jeep at 18555 59 n humble, texas 77338 to have it checked out on 9/03/16.they said it was not commuticating with the pcm and there was no recall for the airbag problem. So it was not repaired and the air bag light stays on. Instead they preformed 3 other saftey recalls they said the jeep needed but air bag problem the would not fix.
- while driving 40 - 45 miles per hour. The contact lost control of the vehicle on a gravel/dirtroad which caused a collision with a post. The contact'sairbags did not deploy. The seatbelt didn't secure her in the vehicle which caused her to lose 4 front teeth and, severelyinjure her jaw bone and chin.
I have a airbag light that popped on going over a bump down the road.. I have notice this is becoming a problem with most 2005 jeeps
Noticed the "pass air bag warning light" was staying on all the time. Then i received a p41 ignition switch recall. Took the car to a chrysler dealer for ignition switch replacement. Air bag warning light still stays on after switch replacement. My reasoning is that the air bag warning light originally came on because the original ignition switch was faulty and caused damage to the air bag and/or it's sensor circuitry. Is there any recourse under this recall to rectify this air bag warning light problem with hopefully no cost to me.

In rush hour traffic, the car would lose power everytime the car came to a stop or idled. 3 days later, the car lost power in speed limit traffic after going over the railroad tracks. Since then, it loses power at every stop. If i am not aware, the car rolls into oncoming traffic! i took the car to my nearest dealer. They confirmed that it was the ignition switch that has been recalled and a part hasn't been sent to dealers. I called chrysler and all they did was put me on a list! they apologized for me not having a car to drive and that was it! they would not provide me with a timeline of when the part would be ready. They refused to provide me with a loaner vehicle while it was off the road. I have lost my mode of transportation unless i want to risk my and my family's life, and they say there is nothing they can do even though they are at fault!

The rear drive shaft is causing a rumbling as you speed up or maintain speed. It feels like driving over small speed bumps or rubble strips, even when there is nothing in the road. It is a safety concern because it is a leak in the oil of the drive shaft. It is also a pretty expensive problem to fix. Jeep and mopar need to fix this safety issue. Like yesterday.
Well my airbag light is on and will not go off! i took it to the mechanic and they reassured me the airbags are there and haven't been deployed at all. But my concern is that the light is on for a reason either the seatbelts or the airbags are faulty. No matter if i'm parked or if i'm in motion the airbag light is always on and i want to be safe and secure that if i'm in an accident i won't be killed because my airbags didn't deploy as they should! i know my jeep is old but it's in good condition i'm not sure what else to do about this problem because i searched by my vin and it hasn't had a recall about that problem so please get back to me as soon as possible
Passenger air bag warning light remains on.
Jeep about had the one the airbag light comes on, i take it to the dealer where i purchasedthe seat buckle,a yearlater light goes on,i take it back to the dealerand they replace the buckle again. 6 months later light goes back on the warranty had just past but the dealer fixed it again. 6 months later the light goes back on and i go back to the dealer and they went out of business, i took it to another dealer and told them what happened they charged me $150.00 to tell me that i had to replace the entire seat belt harness, i already new that. So i just kept diving it, around 2011 the lights and all gauges started to go out as i was driving no gauges at all no break light no headlights, everything just blinks for a few min, than back to normal, i went on line to see how big the problem was and there is a lot of people that is havingthe same problem. I took it to the dealer and they told me that it could be a lot of things, i told them it was the ignition, while driving if i hold on the key in the ignition and move it around all the gauges and lights start to flash. I told that to the dealer and they told me that it would cost me to look into it and try to fix it, in know its the ignition one day while i am driving at night my lights are going to turn off or even the engine and get into an accident. There is a big problem with the 2005 jeeps and chrysler does not want to do a recall.
Airbag light refuses to go off. I've been told the airbag is disabled.
At approximate june 2014 i received a recall notice for the ignition switch.chrysler said approx. Delivery of september 2014.i have not heard or received anything since then.my concern other than the unsafe ignition switch situation is that every time i use my jeep, my airbag warning light flashes on and off continuously.as time goes on, the worse it gets.my dealer says he has checked others vehicles with the same problem; his best guess is it's related to the ignition switch.he also said the airbag should be a concern because it may activate at any time...even without an accident!chrysler told me not to be concerned...how can i not be concerned? what else can i do?
Air bag warning light first came on intermittently. At one time i could adjust the passenger seat and correct the problem. It now stays on all the time. I see that the 2004 model has a recall, and mine was manufactured in late 2004, but is not on the recall vin list. I did not realize that this may mean the airbag is not functioning at all, but rather thought it was just an electrical problem. The 2005 model should have been included in this recall. This looks like a long standing problem with previous years models and obviously has not been corrected in the 2005 model.

Like many i have read my airbag warning light has been coming on intermittently.i've read this is likely a clock spring failure.the light has been coming on for about 2 weeks with a "ding" noise and the dashboard light.this happens while driving.it happens frequently (every couple of minutes).researched on internet to see what the cause may be and noticed that many others are reporting the exact same issue with the 1999 to 2005 jeep grand cherokee's.they have been told it was a clock spring failure and made to pay $310+ to have it fixed.

It started out with my key fob not unlocking my car. So i decided to unlock my car manually, doing so set off the alarm and had the lights blinking and horn going off. So i then decided to order a new fob with a new battery (even though mine was new). That didn't work, so i decided to call someone to come program my fob, thinking that was the issue. So they did. It worked for about 2 weeks. Then the fob didn't unlock my car, brand new fob, brand new battery. Back to square 1, unlocking it manually dealing with the horn issue. Then, 1 day got in my car, started it and pulled in the windshield wipers, the horn went off and would not stop even after shutting off the car. It continued to be an issue and the problem couldn't be resolved. So we pulled the fuse to my horn. Now i'm driving with no horn, a hazard. Issues continued, my car now not only will the alarm still go off with flashing lights now it's not starting, it's even acted up while driving with the engine having weird spasms and accelerating. Worried because i don't know what to expect with this vehicle. I have a brand new battery and even got it tested by mechanics and they said the battery was fine. My car has huge electrical issues and the airbags apparently don't work either. But i've pulled out fuses and it sometimes reboots the car and will start normal and work for maybe a few days before acting up again. Sometimes it won't even start and make a clicking sound as if it's the battery but then after many tries or sometimes a few it'll start. This has been going on for a bit now and has just gotten worse and more worrisome

Takata recall defective/faulty air bags. Air bag light randomly goes on and off, activating or turning off the airbags
I was sitting at a red light and a florida state trooper was behind me, also stopped.when the light turned green, the cars in front of me started to move forward so i took my foot off of the brake to ease forward, awaiting to hit the gas when the trooper hit his gas, slamming into the back of my jeep so hard that it lifted the back of my jeep up and forced the front end to hit the vehicle in front of me at the bottom of his rear bumper - pushing me forward into the car in front of me approximately 7 feet.my jeep stalled during the hit but the air bags did not deploy.
Ever since i bought my 2005 jeep grand cherokee the passenger air bag light has constantly been on. I thought when someone sits there it's supposed to go off! i have read multiple stories of people having the same problem with this vehicle. Some have even been people that have been in accidents and seat belts or air bags didn't work. This is a huge safety issue that jeep needs to fix asap!
Air bag warning light goes on intermittently.jeep told me it has to do with the switch in the passenger seat. Jeep said that after someone sits in the passenger seat a few times that switch will work properly and the light will not go on anymore.
The air bag light turned on so i took it in to mack massey jeep dealership on 950 crockett st.in el paso, tx. The person advising me from the mechanics department told me i was very lucky to take it in when i did because some part having to do with the air bags had melted & my airbags could have opened up at any time. He said he deactivated all the airbags in my vehicle. The total to have them fixed was way more than i can afford. It also affected the center seat belt so i don't have a seat belt as well.i don't think any part of the original parts should be melting with nothing more than the sun heat.

While driving my vehicle it just shut down without any warning and i had to guide it to the side of the road to restart it.thankfully i was driving in a neighborhood where i could do this, it did this a couple of times in one outing, now its every so often. So far it has not done it while i'm out on an interstate but i try to stay close to home til it can be fixed. Plus when i have on my lights my dashboard lights blink on and off . Then here recently the air bag light started flashing and a few days ago it stayed on and hasn't shut off. I've talked to the jeep dealership about this and they said that they don't have the parts to fix the recall item p41/ nhtsa 14v-438 and i'm liable for the airbag issue. From what i have read online all of these issues are connected. I received a letter on the recall a few months back but have not heard anything back on when i can get it fixed at the dealership.please advise on what steps i should take to get the parts for this recall so i can enjoy driving my vehicle again. Thanks again

As i drive my 2005 jeep grand cherokee( hemi)the vehicle simply shuts off. All the lights on the dashboard turn on then the car turns off. I end up with no control. Sometimes this happens and then the vehicle turns on all by itself while im driving. About a week after i purchased it, i had this problem but the dealer said it was fine. As i took it to the gas station across the street, it happened. The dealership employees witnessed it and were nice enough to run over and pushed the vehicle back to the shop. They said they couldn't find anything but replaced the battery just in case. Since then it happens at once every two months.currently, i have an airbag issue. The dealer cannot seem to repair any of these issues. The airbag lights turn on indicated the airbags are off because it does not sense anyone on the seats. It has been to the dealership 3 times for this issue and i am waiting for a call back to return it so they can install an ecm. They think it may be the issue. This will be the fourth visit for the airbags. Seems the vehicle has a lot of electrical problems. I have not driven the vehicle since december 22nd. It is now feb 25. I am afraid of going over the warranty miles.
I saw the news this morning that chrysler jeep has admitted to a defect where the jeep cherokees (2005) turns off unexpectedly and there are issues with the airbag.my jeep has turned off/stalled soon after i have started driving it on a number of occasions.it sort of stalls with no power going to the engine and then a few seconds later kicks in and moves.this usually happens right after i pull out of a parking space or pull away from the curb to start driving in a lane of traffic.i have brought the car in and discussed the problem a couple times and been told there is no problem.as a separate or related issue, during one of my first services at a jeep dealership when i left the dealership warning lights turned on -- i went back to have the issue addressed and was finally told on the fourth visit that there was a faulty software upgrade and not to worry unless a light went on and stayed on (i didn't have time to pursue the issue and i got no where with the dealership).more recently it has been the airbag light that goes on and off (if is now off).finally, i went to the chrysler website this morning and entered my vin and was told there was no recall or notices.i hope that the nhtsa requires chrysler to address this issue and/or it is addressed through a class action.

While driving west on i-8 in arizona vehicle went completely dead without warning, power steering was lost, etc. Fortunately i was able to steer the vehicle onto side of the highway and bring to a stop. Traffic was virtually no-existent on this stretch of the road otherwise a crash of some kind would most likely take place. As we were in the middle of now where i immediately attempted to start the vehicle up again which it did without a problem. I was able to drive away and vehicle seemed to drive perfectly normal. I recently had the same problem happen again. And, again, i happen to be on a road with very little traffic so i was able to pull over and again the vehicle started up again without a hitch. I attributed the problem to the location of the ignition switch which makes it almost impossible not to bump into the key with your right knee anytime you're traveling long distances and wind up moving your feet around just to stretch them. I now realize that's a much larger problem than that.

I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.several times since i bought it in march the engine has suddenly stopped while i was driving.when i stop the car and put it in neutral, the engine will immediately restart.the dealer has not been able to find why this is happening. This is far more than a nuisance.should it happen, for example, while i'm passing another car, it could result in a crash.i have talked to jeep about this and they claim this condition is impossible. However, the dealer told me that his regional manager has experience the same problem with his 2005 jeep.however i have discovered the source of the problem.the key and ignition switch have been mounted on the steering column.should the driver inadvertently bump the key with his/her leg, you can stop the car.i have confirmed this condition and reported it to the dealer.he mentioned that the regional manager also suspected this was the case.i am a normal sized male, 165 pounds, 5' 11".it should not be possible to stop the car in the manner i am describing.it has happened to me several times since i took delivery of the vehicle.i believe this is a condition that is dangerous and needs to be pursued by daimler chrysler asap.registered professional engineer,

I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee, took in in my dealer in aug, 2013 for a safety recall (n23). First time i tried to shift it into neutral, it flashed a "service 4wd system", and would not shift into either neutral or 4low. Jeep forum, with 70 pages and hundreds of comments on this problem, looks like the recall software update is the problem and chrysler has not yet owned up the issue. Meanwhile, i cannot use my vehicle as intended. My dealer says i need a $500 part, but others have had that replaced and still have the same problem. There are about 2,000 transfer case actuator motors on back order to correct this problem; however, many who have had this part replaced still have the same problem. The new part is not fixing the issue, jeep needs to replace the final drive control module and the transfer case actuator motor.

At approximate june 2014 i received a recall notice for the ignition switch.chrysler said approx. Delivery of september 2014.i have not heard or received anything since then.my concern other than the unsafe ignition switch situation is that every time i use my jeep, my airbag warning light flashes on and off continuously.as time goes on, the worse it gets.my dealer says he has checked others vehicles with the same problem; his best guess is it's related to the ignition switch.he also said the airbag should be a concern because it may activate at any time...even without an accident!chrysler told me not to be concerned...how can i not be concerned? what else can i do?

(my state, zip code & tele no. Are wrong as i'm in the uk) on several occasions the engine dies in motion, on a motorway, street, main road etc. Instrument panel lights go off, loss of power steering & so far i've managed to pull over but was nearly hit by another vehicle yesterday hence this complaint. This problem is extremely dangerous & could quite easily lead to a serious accident. When my local jeep fixed recalls i asked about the ignition switch problem that i've read about on the internet, asking if they had replaced it and they told me that they had reprogrammed the system so should be okay. Well, the issue is still very much alive and far from okay.

While driving my car at 50 mph all the lights on the dash came on indicating that the engine had turned off. This has happened 2 more times but both those times the car was not in motion. I was sitting at a stop light. After a few seconds the car turns itself back on. I am very fearful that the car may take longer to turn itself back on and i will have loss of power steering and braking. I have notice of a p41/nhtsa 14v-438 recall but am told the fix is not yet available. Due to the length of time i am requesting another vehicle to be provided until my car can be fixed as i am very fearful of a crash.

Safety recall 2005 jeep grand cherokee/transmission fluid leak. Vehicle shakes violently/shudders on highway &when speeding up/ slowing down. Jeep serviced on 5 separate occasions for recall over 36 months. Repaired incorrectly on 1st visit to dealer service. Brought in 4 subsequent times/approx. Every 10,000 mi- to fix same issue transmission/ failed torque converter/shudder. Dealer argued no recall of this item, despite having nhtsa recall info/my vin was noted on recall. Dealer refused to waive $100 powertrain warranty fee each time jeep brought back. Dealer insisted mopar parts have9,000 mi warranty/ i would pay for repair b/c i drove 10,000 mi since previous repair. Dealer refused to provide rental car despite 5-7 day s to repair. Recall states a loaner vehicle to be provided if scheduled repair would take >1+days. A local 5 star jeep/chrysler dealership refused to service jeep after their initial recall repair failed at 10,000 miles. I was told to take jeepback to dealership i leased it from. Dealership manager told me it was not his problem to fix & 5 star jeep name did not mean anything to him. Said he was not concerned about recall. Ibrought jeep to the leasing dealership- they refuted claims of a recall & told me to pay for all repairs & loaner car. It wasn't until 4th&5th time jeep was in for service that a loaner car was provided because i told dealer i was pursuing ohio lemon law. The last time i brought jeep in for service of this recall item, i was told to go on a drive with serviceman to verify problem. He told me it was torque converter & not to fix it b/c he didn't think there would be a fires from leak. I showed him nhtsa recall. He said i would pay for mopar parts b/c they were out of warranty @ 12,000 miles. I told him i had 10,000 miles since last service. He spoke to manager & they serviced jeep. Jeep is again shuddering/clunking.

At random times while driving, while in park, and just after startup, all dashboard gauges, lights, and power goes out, headlights turn off, but the engine still runs. I cannot see what is in front of me at night, i cannot tell my speed, i cannot see my fuel level, etc. The outage lasts from 2-30 seconds before every single warning light will illuminate for a few seconds, or flicker on and off, and then return to normal.i replaced the ignition 2 years ago from a previous recall notice. This is extremely dangerous because i never know when it will happen, it could happen at night on a heavily trafficked street and i lose all power and lights!

This 2005 jeep cherokee was purchased brand new from gary barbara jeep / chrysler, upon driving the vehicle the dash lights, gauges, a/c (happens with heat as well) began going on and off then off while vehicle is still in motion, this happens at any speed including no turn signals or brake lights. This sometimes will regain normal operation but most times the vehicle has to be pulled over and shut off then restarted.the vehicle was taken into the purchased dealership and issue was not resolved "saying could not find anything wrong" then as this has continued to happen was taken to multiple dealerships with same issue and same response.this went on the whole time the vehicle was under warranty, and the issue was never resolved. I continued to contact chrysler over the years and no one would respond, at one point a chrysler representative told me to go pound sand since the vehicle was no longer under warranty after me calling to follow-up on another (one of many) detailed letter regarding this issue. This continues to happen and obviously the vehicle is not safe, i refuse to resell the auto and want it fixed.i recently received a recall notice this year - 2015for the ignition switch, i am not implying this is the repair fix for the issue but re-opened my quest to get chrysler to properly repair this issue. I was told by both cherry hill jeep/chrysler and chrysler direct case #[xxx] the parts for this recall are unavailable, a date or time frame for them is unknownand if i wanted would have to pay a $98.00 fee to get the auto diagnosed to address the issue of the powerloss during operation of auto. This has continued my belief that chrysler really does not care about its customers or its products nor the safety of their automobiles.respectfully, [xxx][xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

I was pulling out of my driveway onto the road.i came to a complete stop, then when i went to accelerate the engine died.i was in drive and everything just shut down. I then had to put the vehicle back into park and turn it on again.this is the second time it has died when i have been pulling out of my driveway from a stop.
When turning the ignition key to the start position, you hear 1 "click" but the vehicle does not start.this is an intermittent event that seems to come and go every few months.when it happens, i have to leave the key in the on position for about 1 - 2 minutes, then attempt to start the engine again.i had previously had my vehicle serviced at the dealership for this problem, but since it is so random, the service personnel could not recreate the event.i even advised them that other owners, registering this same complaint, pointed to corroded solenoid wires as being the culprit.however, the service department had me purchase a new battery last year.this did not fix the condition which continues periodically to this very day.unfortunately, the car has been unable to start at a few times when the surroundings were less than totally safe.i have viewed a number of consumer forums, such as http://autoforum.classifieds1000.com/jeep-grand_cherokee/2005_jeep_gc_not_starting?pg=10.all of these owners have the exact issue but each time, when presented with the details of the occurrences, dealerships disavow all knowledge that this condition exists.many consumers are being told by the dealerships that no other owners have complained about this.

When i was driving my 2005 grand cherokee, the vehicle turned itself off causing me to lose braking and steering power. The ignition recall is what is going on however chrysler/jeep does not have the parts to fix the problem nor are the offering any possible solutions. They are refusing a rental car due to the issue not being life threatening. However, having a vehicle shut itself off while driving is very life threatening to myself, passengers in the vehicle and innocent bystanders around me on the road. I am highly dissatisfied with chrysler.

2005 jeep grand cherokee has had continuous electrical problems with engine lightcoming on and stalling since it had about 9000 miles on it and was bought new.dealership has looked at it several times and could not every find anything wrong with it and usually clears out failure and problems occur shortly after again.after the vehicle stranded me a week ago and once again the service department found nothing wrong-replaced the battery, the vehicle is stalling more than ever and almost had a serious accident that could have been fatal because the power went out driving on the interstate with power steering gone and came close to getting hit by a tractor trailer.was able to throw into neutral and restart, but this is not a safe condition.the area on interstate was in a construction zone and it seems the problem typically occurs when decelerating below 30 mph.
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.

June of 2014 and still to this day the gear shift can be moved from "p" to any gear, and that is when no keys are in the ignition/and no foot on the brake.i was working under the hood and my 4 year old son did just that and almost ran me over.i checked and the vehicle had no keys in it they were with me in my tool box because i didn't want him to do just that. I checked out the situation to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and to my surprise and still til this day, i can enter the vehicle with no keys and no foot on the brake just reach in and move the gear shift from "p" to any gear resulting in the clunk of the transmission and rolling of the vehicle. This is very unnerving and would like this to be fixed.i have read countless articles and blogs about this exact same problem.
First the locks stopped working properly along with the key.next the vehicle failed to start with only a click and then nothing occasionally it would start and then happen again at the next destination.have taken it to the dealer on 10-12 occasions and have had a starter replaced.it happened the next day.i have seen online several hundred instances of the same thing some worse than others.this is a common problem that is rendering these vehicles useless owners are all told the same thing "never heard of it, yet if one searches, you will find several times its the same issue this is unsafe the vehicle shut off at 45 mph on time and it cannot be trusted and no one can seem to fix this common problem help.
While getting on the freeway about to merge on the middle left lane my vehicle all the sudden flick on all the dashboards lights - did not loose any power, but got my very concerned.3 days later 3/14/2015 while i was putting to a parking space about to make another left turn the steering lock and lost all power. Lights were on, but i had no breaks and no steering. When tried to start the vehicle the engine had a hard time starting. Per the recalled online it says to adjust seat and not to have any other keys with the vehicle key. There were no other keys on this. I called my local dealer and there was no information on this.

We need some assistance in getting this issue fixed and answers to what do we do for a car until it is fixed. Thank you.
While driving the vehicle on freeway in traffic 70+ mph the ignition shut down, came back on, and back off again.. After i wiggled the key in the ignition before it came back on... Caused sway brake protect to fail.. Extremely dangerous..
While driving my vehicle it just shut down without any warning and i had to guide it to the side of the road to restart it.thankfully i was driving in a neighborhood where i could do this, it did this a couple of times in one outing, now its every so often. So far it has not done it while i'm out on an interstate but i try to stay close to home til it can be fixed. Plus when i have on my lights my dashboard lights blink on and off . Then here recently the air bag light started flashing and a few days ago it stayed on and hasn't shut off. I've talked to the jeep dealership about this and they said that they don't have the parts to fix the recall item p41/ nhtsa 14v-438 and i'm liable for the airbag issue. From what i have read online all of these issues are connected. I received a letter on the recall a few months back but have not heard anything back on when i can get it fixed at the dealership.please advise on what steps i should take to get the parts for this recall so i can enjoy driving my vehicle again. Thanks again

Am on 4th new battery.when car sits for a short time, say 3-5 days, battery discharges and dies.gauges and lights flash on and off when attempting a charge.one time was locked out of car as entry fob would not unlock had to break into car since no power to car to open or operate locks. Have had vehicle towed twice to dealer, each time nothing found wrong, but new battery installed twice under current warranty after new interstate battery (9 months old) supposedly was dead, interstate refunded all monies. This happens each time the car sits.i have left it at the dealer and they can not replicate the action or symptoms.they return the car until i get stuck somewhere with a dead battery.have had many issues with the roof skylite drains overflowing into the car even after it was repaired.questioned if the intake of water may be a symptom of the other battery problem.response from dealer was no.i would like to get the car to work normally again. All maintenance has been performed timely on vehicle since purchase and no accidents.
Recall sent in october 2014 and as of today february 12,2015 the replacement part has still not been sent out to the dealer and there is no future date even discussed. If this is a danger and my research shows that in fact if the car ignition goes off, it can be very dangerous, then this delay is not acceptable.

I recently took my jeep into the dealer service center to remedy the last recall pertaining to the software flash of the final drive control module.the day before i took my jeep in i had used the 4 wheel drive low. My jeep showed no symptoms of the recall and had no proper incidents yet i decided to take it in to have the task completed to avoid any future problems.since the day i took it in (10/5/2013) i had not used my 4 wheel drive low until thanksgiving day.when i went to use it the transfer case did absolutely nothing and the message "service 4wd system" appeared on the dash.i have asked the dealership to take a look at it and have gotten nowhere expect to be treated rudely and have them extremely resistant to looking into the problem.without even looking at my vehicle they kept telling me that the issue i am experiencing had nothing to do with the flash as they claim the flash affected the transmission park position sensor.when i read the tab "n23" it precisely names the transfer case as the affected component.please help.please!
This has happened a lot. While driving all the intrument lights will flash, causing the ac/heater to turn off and on, headlights to go off, and traction control to turn off. Twice recently the vehicle has shifted itself into reverse with the gear selector still in drive. I have taken it to a shop and they went through the entire electrical system and could not find a source for this problem. All jeep owners i have talked with (over 30) have this exact same issue. This is extremely unsafe and jeep needs to be held responsible.

This is in regards to chrysler's recall of ignition switches - p41. A notice that a safety recall was in effect was announced early summer of 2014 and since then chrysler keeps saying the part is unavailable. It's well over six months since the recall was announced. I have called chrysler 3 times and they cannot provide an answer to when the part will be available. My jeep continues to have ignition switch problems, while i drive two small children on a daily basis. It is unacceptable that chrysler knows about the dangerous switch problem and yet has done nothing to timely remedy the situation and make the part available to affected consumers. It is irresponsible that the government doesn't do more to pressure and fine chrysler for the lack of urgency being placed on this recall.

Won't speed up and when is does it gets jammed and it shakes and when i break its shakes even when i turn.

And a month after i got it it's messing up. But when i first bought it. I took it to a shop and it threw no codes nothing was wrong with it. It took all of a month to break down on me. And the battery won't stay charged they put in a new battery when i first got it. Then i had to warranty another because that one stopped working. I just need help to figure out what is going on.

I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that has 4 interior door handles broken. To get out of my car i have to roll down my window, open my door and then open the rest of the doors for my 3 kids. This is a scary situation in case i am involved in an accident and there is a fire. If my jeep turns off how am i supposed to roll down the electrical window and escape out of my car. Our safety is in great danger because of defective door handles that are not even forced and break off so easily. Another problem i have with my jeep is that when i start it and start driving, the electrical brake system light, the engine light, the abs light and some other light turn on. After the lights turn, the speedometer will no longer work, i can't see how many miles per hour i am driving. I have to turn of the jeep, restart it and that will make the speedometer work but the engine light will not go off. In a couple of occasions i have come to make a complete stop with the vehicle and all of a sudden it will turn off dead. I have to put the vehicle in park and restart it again.

I filed a compliant earlier about my 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the cd number is 10374691.i will like to update that compliant.i have had the ignition replaced, the computer replaced and they did not fix the problems that i incurred in my previous compliant.the dashboard warning lights all came on again last night as i was driving down the road.this is a serious problem and the dealer has no idea how to fix this problem.
The jeep has starting prombles it will run and start fine then the next it dose not want to start. So i could just run in the store and come out and it won't start and i have to sit a hour or two and then it starts agine. It dose this after running to three places it will stall agine on me and won't start. I have brand new starter in it and battery. Had the alternator checked and its fine and also there was recall on ingintion switch and that got replaced but still having prombles with it starting.
My car would not start and it is unknown as to the reason for why this is happening. The battery is fine, alternator and all tests are just fine. This is not the first time this has happened and this happens randomly with no reason (at hot or cold temps). The mechanics are unable to find a reason for this. There is no cranking when this happens but all lights both inside and out are working. Need answers!! as i can no longer be stranded in different locations.
It is unknown at this time what is causing all these lights to come on when the car is turned on and idling. Looked on the internet quite a few other people had experienced the same problem some still couldn't figure out what it was when they took it to the auto mechanic shops. Was wondering if this was part of a recall. This could cause an accident when you lose power and you're driving down the street. This started happening a couple of days ago.

I received a chrysler safety recall notice over a year and a half ago for faulty ignition switch for our 2005 jeep grand cherokee.i've contacted my local jeep dealer numerous times with the same story that the replacement part isn't available.my jeep is starting to experience issues with the ignition and the dealer tells me they can replace the ignition with a new one subject to the same recall issues at my expense non reimbursable since the part is not the new improved replacement ignition.this is very concerning as the vehicle is not safely reparable and experiencing issues.please advise !

Exact same scenario.... Traveling down the road, stopped at a light and car went into limp mode with the esp mode disabled lit up on the dash. Car was idling at just under 2k rpm and would not accelerate. Car normally idles at just under 1k rpm. With my foot on the brake the car wanted to drive forward, light turned green and let off the brake, i was doing 20mph without my foot on the gas. I pulled over and shut the car off, restarted and ran fine for a day. Next day i broke down 5 times coming home from work. Car would run fine and all of a sudden i would feel a power surge in acceleration and i knew it was coming, next stop light car would start to idle funny and light turns green, no power. No matter how hard i smashed the gas pedal, rpms would not move from just under 2k. I shut the car off, restarted and took off like normal. Im going to the dealer tomorrow to have it checked out and im taking statements from this page to show the dealer that there are many people having this problem and cannot fix it.. I am positive jeep knows about this problems and will not admit to it. Hey if we have enough people can any say "class action law suit"???? oh yeah remember i said i have video of this??? because everyone said dealer could not replicate the problem or figure it out? i also have a 15,000$ paper weight in my driveway that's worth no more than 400$ at the local scrap yard. I've had to many problems with this jeep and this is the last straw. Jeeps are junk, and remember "its a jeep thing", you wouldn't understand. Yeah they are right on that, i don't think anyone understands!!! i also have recorded video of this if anyone from jeep wants to contact me.

In the past 6 months roughly, my husband has accidentally knocked the key of our jeep while commuting to/from work a lf a dozen times and the vehicle shut off while traveling over 60 miles per hour on a busy minneapolis freeway.fortunately, it has not resulted in an accident (yet).it happened again just last wednesday!we did receive at least 2 recall notices from jeep, however, when we call to schedule the appointment, the dealership has informed us that they have not received the parts yet.i called again yesterday and it was the same story.so i called chrysler directly.they gave me the same story and offered absolutely nothing other than tips to try to not knock the key, which we have tried them all already.the vehicle is not safe!!my husband cannot be replaced and i have heard close to 30 people have died as a result of this p41 recall already.he will not be another one!my complaint is that when a customer is actually experiencing the issue, chrysler is not offering anything to help us out until the part is available.i would expect that offering loaner jeep or working with us to replace the jeep would be much less expensive than a lawsuit if something happens to my husband.i am very concerned and frustrated at their lack of interest to help us out.

Exterior headlights and interior dash lights flicker on and off speratically. This happens while driving, stopped and even when parked. I have to toggle the light switch on and off to try and stop the flicker or even to get the lights to come back on because sometimes the lights stay off even when the switch is in the on position. This is extremely scary when driving at night and i'm sure it irritates the heck out of anyone who see's my lights flickering. They think i'm signaling them for some reason. Really need a fix for this asap.hope daimler/chrsler isn't waiting for death/accident toll before they fix this issue. I have already had the ignition switch replaced per the recent recall and the problem with the lights persists.

Upon driving my daughter to school my transmission would not leave 1st gear.rpm's would almost red line, i would let off the gas to let it shift and nothing, it stayed in 1st gear.well when i looked at the gauges, my lights for prndl were all lit up instead of just "d".boxes around every single letter.i proceeded to put the car in neutral and put it back in drive and still all 5 letters lit up and engine bogged down.it took several minutes for what like seemed forever for it to get into gear which was drive, i backed up traffic because i couldn't do the speed limit and had to use my hazard lights on the side of the road.this was my first occurrence, this has happened at least a dozen or more times since then to include yesterday jan 5 2015.every time i contact the dealer or ask on jeep owner website, i get " sorry sir the only recall listed is the ignition switch and we don't have a part for that." i checked the website and apparently my jeep had been serviced for the transmission back in 2010 at 70k miles but does not explain what they did.i also need to put in another complaint about the transmission. June of 2014 and still to this day the gear shift can be moved from "p" to any gear, and that is when no keys are in the ignition.i was working under the hood and my 4 year old son did just that and almost ran me over.i checked and the vehicle had no keys in it they were with me in my tool box because i didn't want him to do just that.
Dash lights flicker and vehicle routinely and randomly will not start.we have been stranded at least 2 dozen times.2 dealers and an independent mechanic could not locate the problem.battery, starter, starter relay and key fob's replaced.vehicle was taken to dealer in nov 2014 and now on may 11, 2015 ignition switch recall still has not been performed due to lack of parts.

I bought my gd cherokee used with 71k miles. I just had my first oil change before heading out on a camping trip for the weekend. On the return trip, i had just turned onto the highway (55 mph zone). I am 6'4" tall. The previous owner was shorter than me. The seat was in the wrong position (i now know). While switching from gas pedal to brake pedal, my knee hit the key in the ignition. The car turned off. I immediately reached for the key and turned the car back on. It lunged the way a manual transmission dose when the clutch is let out too quick. I moved my seat back away from the wheel. Now i drive it from farther back, which means i need to sit up straighter, which means my head hits the ceiling often. I have the limited edition and i love everything about it except the seat can't go down far enough for me to drive it comfortable without turning the car off which has got to be horrible for the car.

After 13v175000 recall - 2005 jeep gc still slips into neutral while running. Also, sometimes when moving from drive to reverse, it "stalls" in neutral and won't move into reverse. So far, this has only happened when idling at stop lights and in parking garages. Putting the car in park, shutting it off, and turning it back on reset things - but i'm worried that this will happen while driving. Took it to the dealership - they can't find anything wrong with it.

I have owned my vehicle since 2008 at 32,000 miles, the sunroof worked great for a few years then i noticed that the sunroof would close passed the roof line of the jeep.i did not think of it much because i assumed that the jeep would have a secondary seal on the inside of the roof line, in between the headliner to keep debris and water out of the inside.this is not the case, it started snowing heavily and the next couple of days the sun melted everything away.i got in my jeep and realized while i was driving that i had water pouring on my leg andthrough the map lights in the center.by the time i got to my destination, work, my pants were completely soaked and my center console completely drenched.this being that the sunroof had nothing to keep the melting snow out of the vehicle. Sunroof is made with a faulty cog set that wears away too quickly.instead of having to spend almost one thousand dollars as i was quoted in 2011 for them to place in a new cog made of the same brittle plastic. I choose to stop my motor from over closing, rendering the sunroof always showing up in scanners as open. However with me concentrating that the sunroof closes correctly i still have leaks in the sunroof.my jeep has to stay outside, meaning any time it snow, but i'm not driving, i always have to brush the roof off just the ensure i don't have the same issues. My vehicle now just passed 125000 miles. Since the issues i've had over the years, i've pulled up the carpet while cleaning the vehicle only to notice so much rust in the floor pans.. Thankfully i had thought to pull the carpet and have taken precautionary measures to ensure that my vehicle does not continue to rust.

Dealer failed to remedy defect within a reasonable time.recall is over 1 year old.recall p41/nhtsa 14v-438
Since 4/24/07, my2005 jeep grand cherokee will intermittently fail to start. This typically has happened after driving it throughout the day without incident. (only once did it happen early in the morning after sitting all night.) for the first two failures, jumping the battery was successful. The third incident, where the jump didn't work, led tothe battery being replaced, although the old battery was never diagnosed as faulty. When the car failed to start with the new battery,the keys were re-coded by a jeep dealer. It then failed to start with the newly coded keys. The ignition was eliminated as a problem, and the starter was replaced (with an after-market product). When the car failed to start again, the starter was replaced a second time (with a chrysler part) and the ignition once again was diagnosed as working. After the next failure to start, a temperature sensor in the transmission was replaced. When the car again failed to start, i was told the newly replaced temperature sensor was faulty, it was being replaced, and the car would be ready the next day. Now, three days after being told the car would be ready,i'm told that no one knows what the problem is, although thediagnostics now indicate there is a problem. I was told by the current jeep dealer servicing itthat no one could be consulted at chrysler until the problem could be replicated. (although it is a timely process, the problem has been replicated while in repair.) it is now august 3, 2007, andfor the last 102 days my grand cherokee has been in and out of repair for weeks at a time.when i have had access to it, i have not been able to drive it with any confidence. The dealer (not a jeep dealer) where ipurchased this car has been loaning me vehicles and they have been exceptional in their concern, despite anyone's ability to resolve this. Their daily attention my faulty vehicle is the only reason, as a first-time jeep grand cherokee owner, that i have been able to stay on the road today.

In cold weather (anything below approximately 30f) all instrument panel indicator lights light up, the speedometer and tachometer needles drop to zero, as do the fuel and engine temperature gauges.the reverse assist indicator lights in the tailgate also light up.there is a clicking sound in the dashboard.the engine continues to run, but the abs service required instrument panel indicator light does stay lit up.this is an everyday occurrence in cold weather, and starts happening 10-12 minutes after starting the engine.the vehicle needs to be brought to a full stop and the engine turned off and then on again before it stops happening.until stopping and restarting, it just keeps on occurring. A quick search of the internet reveals that this is a common problem with various year models of the jeep grand cherokee.the chrysler dealership simply pleads ignorance after charging me several hundred dollars to 'fix' a loose connection under the driver's seat.an electrical problem of this nature poses a definite electrical fire hazard.do we need to wait for that before taking action or can we be proactive?

I made an appointment at paulding chrysler jeep dodge in dallas, ga on 5-17-16. This appointment was scheduled one week prior to 5-17-16 to replace the ignition switch (p41) and to update a computer system (p73). I was told that the ignition switch was in stock.

I was backing out of my driveway when the vehicle lost power the first time and twice sitting at a red light. I need this resolved right away. I am a home health rn and i drive all day seeing patients.

I bought the jeep cherokee laredo in june 2005 and i have experienced several events with the instrument panel lighting system and gauges. The panel goes on and off until the engine and / or air conditions shut off. At one point the battery needed to be replaced. It has been very stressful having this condition occurring while driving or at a traffic light. Both dealer and chrysler have improvised some repairs (6 times) that had not resolved the problem. I have decided to file legal action against the dealer and chrysler after seeing in the nhtsa complaint database that this is a widespread and systemic problem with this model. If you want to join the effort to pursue actions using the "lemon" or any applicable law request a complaint research of this complaint record to have access to my phone and e-mail address. Having a joint effort will result in louder and more effective results to defend our rights as consumers.

While driving for about 20mins the was a hard shift and my truck was stuck in 3rd gear and the check engine light came on.

What is weird is when i turn my turn my truck back on its no longer in 3rd and it stays that way for sometimes weeks but it comes back surely.
I have been having a problem with my 2005 jeep grand cherokee since october of 2008.

Chrysler issued a recall for my jeep in 2014 for a faulty ignition switch. This defect could result in a motor vehicle accident or cause serious injury to the driver and occupants. I have tried since october 2014 to have this recall addressed to no avail. At all time i have been told the ignition part is not available. On april 30, 2015 i filed a complaint with nhtsa detailing the above recall information. I was issued complaint ;number 10713710 and told a letter would be arriving within two weeks from nhtsa. The letter never arrived. I visited my dealership earlier this month (july) and inquired about the ignition switch. I was told that the plant that was manufacturing the switch had burned down. What is the correct answer and reason for this delay. Is it chrysler does not want to make the repairs? why hasn't nhtsa forced this issue with chrysler?

All the electrical stuff on my car flashes on and off or will just go completely blank for awhile while i'm driving this includes speedometer and all my lights and windshield wipers which is very much needed to drive safely it appears that the car shuts off but it continues to runand i've done research and it is my ignition switch i saw that there was a recall on it already and i called and they told me they wouldn't fix it i'm not sure how all of this works so i'm writing you guys for help. When it had first happened i was going about 60 mph down the highway in the rain in washington state i feel very unsafe in this vehicle now i can't take the chance of being on the freeway and this happening again in the rain the speedometer wasn't so scary but when your windshield wipers go out while it's raining and you're driving on the highway it's pretty scary and very unsafe for everyone. The video i have is another day it still continues to happen it was too risky to try and take videos of it the first time. So i guess i can't upload videos on here the picture it looks like i could be parked but i do have a video that i can send in to you guys if you provide me with an email

Vehicle transmission has always made strange clunking noises.vehicle began to drop out of gear while driving and then finally (and currently) will completely shut off while driving.this has happened on numerous occasions and dealership says that they cannot duplicate the problem.a customer service manager did tell me that jeep is aware of the problem and this is a common problem among v8 models such as mine but that they just do not know how to fix it so they have not yet issued a recall.however, jeep is putting so many people at risk of an accident.not only the vehicle drive but everyone else on the road around the vehicle.the vehicle now shuts off while in motion driving on a fairly regular basis but with no consistent pattern.$34,000 dollars worth of worry.

It started out with my key fob not unlocking my car. So i decided to unlock my car manually, doing so set off the alarm and had the lights blinking and horn going off. So i then decided to order a new fob with a new battery (even though mine was new). That didn't work, so i decided to call someone to come program my fob, thinking that was the issue. So they did. It worked for about 2 weeks. Then the fob didn't unlock my car, brand new fob, brand new battery. Back to square 1, unlocking it manually dealing with the horn issue. Then, 1 day got in my car, started it and pulled in the windshield wipers, the horn went off and would not stop even after shutting off the car. It continued to be an issue and the problem couldn't be resolved. So we pulled the fuse to my horn. Now i'm driving with no horn, a hazard. Issues continued, my car now not only will the alarm still go off with flashing lights now it's not starting, it's even acted up while driving with the engine having weird spasms and accelerating. Worried because i don't know what to expect with this vehicle. I have a brand new battery and even got it tested by mechanics and they said the battery was fine. My car has huge electrical issues and the airbags apparently don't work either. But i've pulled out fuses and it sometimes reboots the car and will start normal and work for maybe a few days before acting up again. Sometimes it won't even start and make a clicking sound as if it's the battery but then after many tries or sometimes a few it'll start. This has been going on for a bit now and has just gotten worse and more worrisome
When i start and as i'm driving the truck the headlights are flickering along with the radio. The rpm and speedometer gauges are jumping up and down as i drive. I can hear a cluster of clicking noises coming from behind the radio, underneath the steering wheel in the wiring harness's and also from underneath the hood in the fuze box closet to the driver. The heated seats do not work along with the radio and gps, the turning signals and the fog lights do not work when this is going on. The dealer has no idea what's wrong with the car, i have already changed the battery, alternator, and starter. This seams to be an ongoing problem with this truck and its a serious safety hazard.

I bought my 2005 jeep grand cherokee in april 2010 so i have had it for 5 months. In that 5 months the driver side rear door handle has completely broken and fallen into the door, the passenger side rear door has cracked and will be completely broken soon, the passenger front door handle is just beginning to crack so the only one that really works 100% is the driver door handle. I have an extended bumper to bumper warranty that we purchased and were told the only thing it didn't cover was the dvd player...well they lied! about a month after we bought the jeep while driving the ac would shut off and everything on the dash would start to blink on and off and then suddenly stop, i took it in and all they said was we could not get it to do it again. We recently had the rear differentials repaired due to them going out, they actually covered that under the warranty. The only other issue is sometimes while stopped at a stoplight and idle the jeep will seem like it wants to die but never does. I only have 56000 miles on my car and have owned it 5 short months and have had all of these issues, my main concern is the door handles because not only can my 3 kids not get out if there is an emergency, but where the plastic has cracked it has sharp edges and they could easily cut their hands. Something needs to be done before that happens! what is it going to take, an injured child?????

2005 jeep grand cherokee v8 w/hemi. Took the jeep to a dealership for repairs for stalling. They detected a leak from the ac unit and a seal that was letting the water enter the transmission they flushed it refilled it. Look that recalls found a recall number e-13 on a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that stated the same thing cept for if the torque converter is compromised it would be replaced. Call the chrysler number offered on the website and ask them if there was anything they could do they stated no there was nothing they could do so it's going to be an expense to me because it wasn't stated for the v8 engine it was only stated for the 3.7 liter engine. This is very troubling because if they didn't detect that and the other vehicles then obviously it's going to cause an accident or something to happen when you lose power throughout your vehicle especially when you're on the highway or even a busy road. I stated to them it is word for word and what was wrong with my car and they still. And being on disability at the moment and trying to pay for these repairs and still paying the car off is very difficult. I would like this issue to be resolved by the chrysler. If they neglected to see any issues in the v8 model that occurred in the 3.7 liter engine model there will probably be lawsuits against them. It is frustrating that this is happening and they can't help a jeep owner out probably will never bite you again. Let's just hope my engine don't catch on fire either. Being afraid to drive a car is not ok expecially when it's the only car you have and you can't afford to repair or buy a new one cuz you're on disability.
Takata recall. My jeep randomly and frequently loses connection with the electronic shift module, when this happens it gets stuck in random gears and it will not move fast (safely) when i accelerate unless the car is restarted but then it'll happen again almost immediately after. This happens almost every time i stop, and sometimes happens while driving. This is a well known issue with the 05-10 model yearsthat jeep has swept under the rug and ignored for years. It has caused damage to my cars transmission and has made me feel unsafe driving my vehicle.
The front headlights and all interior electronics including lights, gauges, radio, etc. Shut off. This happens on initial startup at home and in city parking lots, also acted while the engine has been running in motion. The vehicle has to be turned off and back on repeatedly until lights and electronics begin functioning again.

While driving on city streets or on the highway, the dashboard lights turn off. The brake lights, turn signals, and headlights don't work either, but i am still able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle still drives normally. My knee doesn't hit the ignition switch. I have had this happen many times. Shutting the vehicle off and restarting it sometimes turns the dashboard/electrical system back on, but then the engine light stays on. I have taken it in to dealerships and mechanics, but they have no idea what the problem is.

Back in februaryi got notice of the following recall and had it performed eventhough was not having the problem.safety recall n23/ nhtsa 13v-175. Reprogram final drive controller module. 2005 - 2010. (wk) jeep grand cherokee. 2006 - 2010. (xk) jeep commander, after this recall was perfrom 4low would not work. We were able to reset the module by resetting a fuse but, this only lasted a few months.in june the 4low stopped working again.because we heard there was a new service bulletin out we took it back again for another flash.this time they were also wanting to replace the acutator motor, which was not available. Other people who have had this part replaced have been unsucessful. On top of this my dealer was telling me i had to pay for this part and they are claiming it is not tied to the n23 recall.we have not paid to have this part replaced because i don't feel i should have to pay for something that is chryslers doing. It is clear that the software updates have caused these issues to arise and chrylser is not owning up to it.i feel nhtsa needs to inforce that when a recall is made it truely needs to be done and the fix really works.if issues arise with a recall nhtsa needs to make sure the company makes it right.the chrysler customer care center is a joke. No one can answer your questions, concerns and calls are not return.making us go back and forth for updates that continue to not fix the real problem and making us replace parts that don't fix the problem is not the right solution.it forces consumers to not have recalls performed. Nhtsa needs make chrylser answer and fix this correctly.a vehicle that cannot go into 4low or neutral is just as unsafe!

2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. My right front directional stays on all the time. Even when key is off. I took the bulbs out so battery would not go dead. I am driving without the front right directional. Called dealer, they tell me the front control module is out of warranty, and if i buy one from ebay at $50 it may not work and has to be programmed at dealer. They are going to give me a discount price to repair of $603. I told them to order the part over a week ago, and today they told me it is on back order and they will call me when it comes in. Is this a common problem, and if so shouldn't they have a part some where to repair it? thank you for your help.

Shortly after i bought the jeep, i started having issues with the whole dash lighting up as i was driving down the road. I was notified by chrysler, on 09/29/14, about a recall on the ignition switch. As of today, 6/26/15, the part is still not available. This is completely unacceptable as this issue, obviously, may result in serious injury or death. My dash keeps lighting up and now the brakes are giving me issues. We have had the brakes changed out, rotors and calipers have been changed as well as sensors and there has been no improvement which means it is related to this recall. I am tempted to visit a lawyer in regards to this matter as it is very serious and can cost my family, as well as other families, their life.updated 09/10/15

Had truck for 800 miles since purchase used from the original owner.i am 6'5" tall.was driving on the freeway when the ignition key (1.5" from my knee) accidentally turned the truck off due to contact with my knee.under different circumstances, loss of power steering, most braking, and possibly airbags could be very dangerous.hours later i read a story in the mountain news newspaper about a driver leaving the highway due to this same jeep problem.that accident was two weeks ago and the vehicle and trailer overturned on hwy 18.i mentioned this issue to a friend who had the identical 2005 jeep grand cherokee and he said the knee/key issues happened to him "several times" before he sold it.he is 6'6" tall.secondly, all four interior door handles are falling apart and failing due to brittle plastic.they break with no notice and would prevent emergency egress from the vehicle.while it would be possible to roll the window down and open the door from the outside, with the ignition accidentally shut off that would be a problem.this is an essentially universal problem with this door handle design.
I began to notice some unexplained acceleration and deceleration. While driving, when the vehicle should downshift, i could feel a bump and noticeable hesitation. That gradually worsened to become major fluctuations in the rpm while both accelerating and decelerating. For instance, while steadily engaging the gas pedal to accelerate, the vehicle sometimes feels jumpy, does not accelerate smoothly, and if you look at the rpm's they jump up and down by 500 - 1000 rpms. Also, while coasting to a stop, when i am not braking but just allowing the vehicle to roll to the stop from say 45 mph, the same jumping occurs with the rpms. This sometimes causes the car to lurch forward if the rpms flare at a near stop, and once, as i was pulling out of my driveway, i stopped at the bottom of the drive but the engine flared and pushed the car out onto the roadway by about a foot.eventually, this rpm issue began causing stalling. When i would stop at a traffic light, the engine would jump, and then the rpms would drop to zero and the engine would stall. Sometimes after just a few attempts i could restart. Twice i needed towed. My regular mechanic was able to replicate the stalling and saw and felt the rpm flares. He found no mechanical issues and suggested it was a computer issue and directed me to a dealership. 2 dealerships could find nothing wrong and sent me away with no fix. So, my regular mechanic did a computer reset which seemed to solve the problem temporarily. Reset was at 66,000 miles. Now at 72,300, problem is again becoming pronounced. I am getting nowhere with the dealerships and i'm honestly frightened driving this car. I cannot trust the car to accelerate or decelerate properly and i can't be sure the engine won't stall in traffic.

We took the vehicle back to the dealer we purchased from told them about the problem, so they ran a diagnostic on it and drove it and could find nothing wrong. Now recently the problem started to worsen as my wife drives the car at night with our 3 year old daughter in the vehicle the light are flickering on and off then completely going blank and not coming back on. This is very unsafe and dangerous to have a vehicle that the headlights go off when needed especially driving down the dark roads of texas. Something absolutely needs to be done immediately about this problem, everytime i take the vehicle to shop cant ever find anything wrong. This issue is putting my family and other family's at danger. We depend on our vehicle to be reliable and safe. I thought i was the only one experiencing this problem and that it was an electrical problem but it is obviously a defect on these 2005 vehicles. My vehicle is now at 90,000 miles and the issues have got worse. Chrysler needs to do something about this immediately before is results in a fatality.

The jeep instrument cluster went dark and non operational as well as the power steering not working. Turn signals were not working as well. Driving 45 mph and this happens in a turn in the road almost causing a major wreck due to the power steering and turn signals not working. There are multiple complaints about this issue happening and the consumer having the ignition switch replaced to solve the problem. This issue is a major safety issue yet chrysler issued a recall that does not have a fix. We were told by chrysler that it is safe to drive the jeep with the issues. However we do not feel safe in this automobile. If we knew this was going to be happening we would not have purchased the jeep.

The headlights and dashboard lights turn on and off while driving.on occasion when attempting to start the car the vehicle was totally dead.i had to replace the starter, only 29,000 miles on the car and was advised half of the starter was defective.the problem still continues. Can only assume it is a wiring, electrical problem.the vehicle is a hazard as you never know when this will happen causing myself and other drivers to use caution around the vehicle.this vehicle is definitely defective and should not have left the factory floor.

2005 jeep grand cherokee. Seems to be there's electrical issue all the dash lights would turn on turn off happened while i was driving on the freeway and had to come to a stop it stalled out it happened when i started up the car and i turned it off andtook it to the shop two different times pretty much the same problem first time it has 68 codes reading off of it so they replace my battery the second time the lights will come on and go off and come on and then it wouldn't even go it was undriveable at that point so we took it to the shop and then a month later it's starting all over again i was driving down the road came to a stop light plied the brakes and then all of the sudden the gauges were going crazy. The idol was moving up and down the lights would come on and go off and it's all the lights not just air bag or anything like that it was all the lights. I read on the internet other people been having the same issue it's scary when somebody is explaining the same thing that's going on in your car. It is unknown at this time what this phantom problem is and it's highly dangerous. I also bought this jeepused and don'tknow it this was happening beforehand.*have a video but this site won'tupload it.
My car engine shut off after driving 0.1 miles out of the alley in 2012 and again in 2013 after approximately 1 mile driven and it shut off.i was able to restart in neutral, but of course lost all power steering and brakes until it could restart. I thought it was a cold engine, however i received a recall from chrysler9/3/2014 and asked that the ignition switch be replaced. It is now 1 year afterward and they still have no parts to repair, only suggest that i use a single key. Honestly, this could have been much worse, it is time to have it repaired, but apparently they can't manufacture the parts in 12 months.

The first incident01/13/2015 occurred while driving at 15 mph, all lights flickered, hvac system shut off, radio turned off, every light on dash flickered on and off. On 01/14/2015 when vehicle was started, the radio turned off and on continuously, each time the blower on heater stopped. Later in the day, vehicle was running while parked. All lights flickered off and on, radio turned off and on, and fuel monitor reading went to 7 miles left before needing fuel. Vehicle had a full tank of gas. I am terrified to drive this vehicle now. Losing electrical power while driving is a recipe for disaster.

Electronic shifter module had gone out. Park reverse neutral in and drive are the only functions available. To downshift from drive fourth, third, second, and first have lost all ability.primarily the driving of the vehicle is through the streets of san francisco and the ability to downshift is necessary to avoid collision and to climb the steep hills. Not only for myself, but for anybody else with this problem for example: driving to an exit ramp from speeds of 65 and needing to decelerate to 25 would be very difficult and major where on the brake system. Now for climbing the hills of san francisco in a high gear puts a major stress on the transmission. Please take into consideration that the electronic shifter module should be recalled for safety . This vehicle has already been recalled for an ignition and has been replaced but i received several notices from jeep starting out as simple and is nicely put his please see your service dealership there is a recall and to the extreme of receiving noticesthat said your vehicle has a recall and you are putting other peoples lives in danger by neglecting to have it fixed.i have done my homework and the ignition and was told from a dealership that it was not necessary since i only use the keywith no keychain.i have also done my homework on the electronic shifter module and there are many people who have made videos or testimonies about their jeeps having the problem of the ability not to downshift through the electronic shifter module. In the past 12 years i pray that there has been no accidents in direct relation to this electronic shifter module but if you're a driver you know that every gear on the vehicle is there for a reason and rely on the safety of the vehicle.

This is well-documented on the internet.the plastic connector for the climate control blower motor on my vehicle has overheated and melted internally, causing an intermittent connection and periodic smoke inside the passenger compartment.i called the dealership and they offered to replace my blower motor resistor and wiring harness with a different set of parts that do not experience this issue.their offer was to perform this repair at my cost.see: http://www.sparkys-answers.com/2011/02/2006-jeep-grand-cherokee-blower-only.htmlfor visual details of the same issue on another vehicle of the same model, but different model year.jeep should replace the blower motor resistor and pigtail free of charge.

Allof the dash lights up, flashes/flutter/flickers, radio shuts off, hvac system shuts off, but engine still runs.this only happens when the car is on, however it can happen while in motion or in park.. But i do not see a pattern beyond that (like when it rains or is humid). I have tried to make it happen by juggling my ignition because i know that is a thing, but that never initiates the problem.

I was driving and turned on the left turn signal, it was flashing extremely fast and after i made the turn we noticed that some of the interior dash lights were out.later that night after stopping and restarting the ignition a couple times things seemed back to normal but then it happened again.this has been intermittent since then, but now i have also been informed that i have no brake lights.i checked the brake lamps and they are good and the fuses are good too.i had my mechanic check out the multi-function headlight switch as that seemed to be where the issue was originating and they told me that this is the problem and it needs to be replaced.this is a very serious failure that could have lead to a tragic accident.i feel that there should be an investigation into this and jeep should replace these switches.

I have had issues with this vehicle recalls p73 and 41 for over a year. The truck has been sitting in my driveway for a year!!! i have notified jeep numerous times, and yet the part has not been produced. I have been left with no car for 1 year. I have had to pay for uber, taxis, rentals, buses, trains, and have walked everywhere due to this recall. It has drained my battery. Jeep has not once compensated me. Every time i call, they say next month. This had been for one year now! the car lost power while driving on the interstate on 66, 395, and 495 interstates. What is it going to take for jeep to do something? i had one rep said we'll reimburse me, how are you going to reimburse me, for a part that's not even in production. I reported this issue to the jeep dealer where i reside last year about the lights flickering and the please fix the electrical brake system error, the refused , because they stated, they never saw it. I was told i can rent a car for them, on my own dime for 40.00 a day!! i shouldn't have to when it's jeep's recall. I have lost out on jobs, because of transportation. This is really serious.

I have to flick the light switch on and off to try to get lights to stay on. This is scary when driving at night and i'm sure it irritates the heck out of anyone who see's my lights flickering.
I was driving at about 50mph at night when all electrical cut off including my headlights i was traveling in the darkness at that speed hardly able to see thanks to a car behind me and pulled off the road. Jeep has been stalling way too much as well as cranking for 3 seconds and running and then cutting off instantly the only way i can fix these problems is unhook battery every time and within maybe minutes it may occur again.....this is all directly connected with the p41 recall ignition switch issues on these jeeps that i was sent notice almost a year ago. What's the hold up on these parts!? let's get moving....this is my only vehicle and i no longer feel safe driving or feel reliable about getting from point a to b. I've spent so much money on this vehicle so far because of these type issues. Here is a link to one of the problems occuring with my jeep. Pay close attention, this could get someone killed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kagjcoj0ue

Dt*: the contact stated without incident, the driver and passenger side windows cracked.the vehicle was taken to the dealership for the driver side window and the window was replaced.also while traveling 55 mph, the electrical system shut down.the vehicle was pulled over and turned off.it was restarted and was taken to the dealership, who was unable to determine the problem.
While departing philadelphiaairport , entering ramp to access interstate 95, the vehicle lost all power, engine, power steering and brakes would not work. Head lights were still functioning. We physically pushed the vehicle off the highway, so other drivers and municipal bus drivers would stop screaming at us. The vehicle would not start. After calling the police and a tow truck, about 30 minutes later , the vehicle started. We had the vehicle towed to our home 100 miles away in new jersey. The vehicle would start and remain running for about 15 minutes, then would shut down again, same issues. Several sensor codes came up on a readout but nothing has been done to the vehicle. At this point it is functioning, but we are afraid to drive the vehicle. Any help or recall info on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Letter from senator king on behalf of constituent re safety recall 2005 jeep grand cherokee.recall # 14v438000.
My 2005 grand cherokee has on several occasions turned itself off while driving down the road.the last time this happened was at night and raining and the windshield wipers, headlights and everything shut off for several seconds while driving down the road.because of this a tractor trailer pulled out in front of me with my children in the car and we were nearly killed.i had no lights, windshield wipers, the brakes and steering were very difficult etc.i took it to the dealer today and they stated that there is a recall for this however no fix for the issue at this time?!?!?!?!this is completely unacceptable as my vehicle is completely useless, it is not worth my families lives to take the chance of driving it.
Brought vehicle in for oil change (only oil change). Jeep dealer gave back vehicle back with a new ignition stating there was a recall on it without me asking or authorizing them to do so. Now i have a new ignition that is not flush with the dash (sticks out about half an inch) and does not work properly with my original keys. My keys are extremely difficult to go in and out of the ignition and on 2 separate occasions the key was unable to be removed from the ignition resulting in the acc being left on overnight and being forced to take vehicle to dealer in the morning with a dead battery. Dealer states i need to purchase a new key because my keys are original and the ignition they replaced is brand new and are not synced up. The service manager told me it is my problem to purchase new keys for the jeep that had no issues prior to them replacing the ignition. Called jeep customer service and they told me i would be given a new key but than put me on hold for 20 minutes and told me it is actually my responsibility to purchase a new key after they changed out my ignition.

Transmission: i have a 05 jeep cherokee that has continuously had a transmission shudder problem.while driving, the transmission shudders, feels sluggish, jerking the vehicle forward and backward. It happens while traveling at various speeds, but it is excessive while at the 40 mph & 1500 rpm range.the first time it was taken to the dealership, they did a transmission flush and told me to pick it up. The second time, they ordered, then later replaced the drive line. The third time to dealership, the service technician said they reprogrammed the transmission. It has now been dropped off for the same problem 4 times, and still no remedy. I called the dealership again and told them about a possible recall i read about on the nhtsa website on the problem i was having. The public information specifically suggests a remedy, replace the torque converter (which has not been tried on my vehicle). I asked them why they couldn't use that information to fix my vehicle since it is still under warranty rather than wait to see if a recall is even issued, and i was told that the engineers are working on a remedy for the possible recall i was reading about, and it may not affect my vehicle. So, until that recall is issued, nothing can be done. Air conditioner:on 9/22/05, while vehicle in motion, air conditioner, radio, &all dash lights went off at same time, stayed off for 5 seconds or so, then came back on.5 miles or so later, the same thing happened again. Later on the same day, the air conditioner would only work on the highest setting. On my way to the service appointment the next day, the air conditioner would come on and turn off itself, like it has an electrical short in it or the dash.i can also smell plastic burning/melting but can not locate where it is coming from. Dealership now states that parts are not available to fix the air conditioner, and they do not have any timeline for parts availability. No clue why the dash lights shut down.

While driving the entire electrical system fails; lights start flashing, heat goes out, all system warning lights flash ( brakes, tire pressure, service 4 wheel drive system, check engine light comes on),i was able to continue to drive the car but the lights flashed continuously for approximately 15 miles.this has happened multiple times since i purchased the suvjune 2005.the dealership runs test by say they cannot find anything wrong.i have read on the internet that this is happening to many owners of the 2005 jeep grand cherokee and the dealers and mechanics at the dealership cannot find anything wrong. This is a dangerous situation as many people also loose power and the suv shift into low gear.i am afraid to drive my jeep now because the check engine light keeps coming on and off.i am going back to the dealership again for some more stupid "i did not find anything wrong" statements. Originally i was told it was because i had a remote starter so i has it disconnected and the problem still exists.

While driving, all of the gauges will suddenly turn-off (including gas gauge, speedometer, odometer, temperature, and tachometer.)when this happens, the turn signals also stop working, as well as the headlights and dashboard lights. This has happened multiple times, and one time while driving at night. The car has been in the shop five times for the above stated problems (currently still in the shop). Supposedly on the fourth visit, the dealership replaced the "cluster panel." however, this obviously did not resolve the problem as within two hours after picking up the problems happened again.

2005 jeep grand cherokee.consumer writes in regards to replacement parts unavailable to complete recall.
The ignition switch on this car is in failure mode . All dashboard lights , speedometer flash or or down to zero speed . This only happens momentarily as the lights and speedometer come right back on .it seems that it happens more when the temperature is between 30 to 40 degrees farenheit.i had this car in for service for this problem to bedford chrysler(814-623-1141in bedford , pennsylvania multiple times . The problem would not recreate itself . Once when driving at highway speeds , it flashed multiple times .i reached for the ignition key and moved it slightly , the problem immediately stopped .i have been following the ignition switch recall but not sure if this is an affected model. Once i noticed this problem , i had my wife try the same thing with the keys , and the problem would go away for her .i do not have exact dates of occurences , but i do know it has happened multiple times .the car never shut itself down with this problem .

Vehicle stalls at random, and looses power steering capability, can cause a crash on windy roads. Very scary.has been to dealer multiple times in arizona and has not been able to fix. They tried to fix it under warranty and under extended warranty from chrysler. Also when vehicle stalls looses power, can't immediately open windows or doors.doors on this vehicle also interior handles all were broken prematurely right after warranty expired at 48000 miles.this second problem is so common that dealer doesn't have part in stock, factory back order and jeep won't fix it. This second problem is a safety issue as well because can't open door, with handle from inside in az 110 f can be deadly, or during a crash or fire
Dt:the contact'shusband was driving and the vehicle stalled without any warning.the service dealer could not find the cause of theproblem whenperformingthe diagnostic test, andthey could not duplicate the problem.the service dealer said there was a milky substance mixed with the oil.this could have caused the problem. Therefore,they changed the oil and filter.the contact believed this may have beenan electrical problem.
The gauges intermittently work, the radio works intermittently, the power windows don't work, the power door locks don't work, the power seat doesn't work, the power mirrors don't work and i've had the vehicle into my local jeep dealership (willy racine's jeep) repeatedly for electrical issues. They have replaced a variety of components including the ignition cylinder and switch. I continue to have problems. The battery and starter have also been replaced as the car was either having a hard time turning over, wouldn't turn over or even stalled while driving. Those issues still continue but very infrequently.
My vehicle was driving fine, then all of the sudden i lost all lights, all ignition, a/c everything except the engine. I lost speedometer airbags. The car acted like it was shut off but the engine was still going. My ignition has had problems since august 2014 and i have been calling my dealer every week to find out about parts. The parts have taken longer than a reasonable time to become available. My car now lights up (every check engine, traction control, seatbelt, oil, airbag, every light on the dash) at least 3 times in a half hour period. Was told by the dealer it was due to a faulty ignition. My car will not pass california smog with the check engine light coming on multiple times in my trip anywhere. I was told september 11th they would have the parts available. Then it was moved to october 11th. Chrysler needs to focus more on their customers safety and reliability of their vehicle. It should not take over a year to replace ignition.

I have a jeep grand cherokee limited, 2005.the rear right door handle cracked and upon exiting of my family member, the hand simply broke off.in the past week, i have been experiencing a threatening to break of the driver's side door handle. I am the only one driving my jeep and i worry that when i have my grandchild in the vehicle and the rest break as it appears they are threatening, exiting the vehicle will be an issue. I have contacted both the dealership in my town as well as chrysler regarding this issue and i was informed that i would have to replace the door panels rather than the actual door handles.the dealerships are kicking the can down the road and this is dangerous for them as well as the customers.chrysler needs to deal with this issue before it becomes a real problem.

After we had the following recall done.report receipt date: may 07, 2013 nhtsa campaign number: 13v175000 component(s): electrical system , power train the vehicle has failed to be put into 4 wd neutral or visa versa, not allowed to be put into drive.we tow behind my motorhome. It happened the first time we tried to tow it, it went into neutral but would not come back out easily.after ~1/2 hr of trying i was able to get it to go back into drive.i took it back to the dealer he could not find anything wrong.about 3 weeks later after pulling it behind the rv and then trying to put it back into neutral it would not go into neutral, took it to a different dealer who reran the flash on the final drive.it worked fine for about a month.no it has happened a 3rd time while my wife was on a trip, she cannot get it back into neutral. I have read of other people having the same problem after the recall, which indicates the recall is causing the problem.i doubt that the dealer will repair for free so i think the nhtsa should require the dealers to repair the problem as part of the original recall.
While driving the ignition switch position turns to the accessory position. The engine initially turns off and then resumes running. The air conditioner turns off and remains off, the headlights flash on and off and then turn off, and all the dash lights flicker on and off several times and then they stay on as if in the accessory position. If i quickly and slightly turn the ignition key the car resumes a normal operating mode. I'm not sure what all else is turned off when this happens because i have not experimented with other electronics such as the windows, seats, etc. When this occurs. The problem seems to be caused if i bump the key ring with my knee or i hit a small bump in the road. At first the problem was intermittent and somewhat infrequent but over time the frequency has increased. As of late, this seems to happen about every time i drive the car.

The vehicle has been in to the dealer several times, at a cost of hundreds of dollars. The dealer tells me this is not a known problem.there is a current recall for the 2014 jeep grand cherokee for this exact same problem. In 9 years chrysler has still not managed to fix the problem.

While slowing to make a turn in a left turn lane, right knee contacted the ignition key causing the engine to shut down.i was already braking, so came to stop, without incident, and restarted the engine.chrysler sent us a notification of recall several months ago and indicated that they would notify us when parts were available to fix the problem.asubsequent notification suggested positioning the seat such that it would keep the knee from contacting the key.this is an absurd suggestion by chrysler.if i do what their suggestion says,i must drive with my arms almost fully extended, which then means that the driver is not optimally positioned for the air bag protection.i think that the us dept of transportation needs to call chrysler out on this and get the problem resolved before some unintended consequences occur as a result of their temp fix solution.

On may 22, 2014 i took my 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited 4 x 4 with 5.7l hemi engine for recall #n23 reprogram final drive control module. The mileage at that time was 93758. After that "fix" everything seemed to run okay then on july 2, 2014 due to a grinding sound in the rear, my sons father in law checked the codes and found the emergency brake tone ring show. Also on the dashboard a "service 4 wheel drive system" message appeared. He replaced the right rear hub assembly and both emergency brake shoes, but when he went to test drive the vehicle, he said it wouldn't shift correctly. I believe he said it wouldn't shift out of 4 wheel low. Vehicle did also stallalso he said. He checked internet and found loads of reports of this model and year jeep vehicle having problems only after having the n23, nhtsa id# 13v175000. Recall "fix" performed. Mine was done at tri-cities chrysler, dodge, jeep, ram at kingsport, tn.it appears to be a computer related problem, as that's what was reprogrammed for the recall. I am disabled and need the jeep to haul my handicapped scooter and me with my wife driving. It's essential that it's not out of service. I called the aforementioned dealer service department today and spoke to "greg" who said he could check it out. I had my sons father in law call him to fully explain what was dysfunctional as he was the one that experienced the problem and thus fully tell [xxx] about it. I was told that [xxx] said we could tow it in at our expense (not drive it) and he'd check it, but until a recall notice is received , anything done would be charged to me. Please expedite these thousands of complaints asap. I need my vehicle. I don;t have bus or taxi service, and with my disabilities (fused left hip, mainly) i can't ride in most vehicles because of leg room.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

This vehicle has a faulty ignition switch that has turned off my daughter's engine a number of times while she has been driving the car. Chrysler issued a recall in july of last year, but is unable to obtain the necessary parts to repair the problem. In that this can not only stop the engine, but also disable the power steering and air bags, this is a hazard for anyone driving the suv. Whatis the board doing to pressure chryslerto speed up the availability of the necessary parts?

Tech drove it for a week and said that they could not duplicate the problem. Was told to "keep an eye on it". Issue has continued. But dealership unable to do anything if problem can't be duplicated when they have it. Very concerned about the safety of this vehicle!

On some occasions all the dormant indicators simply light up (tire inflation, check engine, seat belt ect) at other times we lose total electrical on the interior and dash. We lose fuel gauge, heater fan, dash lights, radio ect. Then it comes back to life. Even the best mechanics cannot find a ghost. Jeep has a problem and they better acknowledge it fast or someone will die. I have seen the same problem described by many, many owners. They cant all be crazy.
While driving, the instrument panel will flicker on and off, the heater/cooler blower shuts down, cuts out. The speedometer and tachometer quit working as well.

I have been having issues with my cherokee since early 2007; multiple issues including the car stalling, check engine light coming on/off, all the dashboard lights turning on and off and multiple attempts in getting the car to turn on. I have taken the car to multiple repair shops; both dealership and local repair shops looking for answers. I have been given the same diagnosis each time; the transmission control module is faulty. The transmission control module has been replaced (3) times and works for a little less than a year and then the problem returns. I first heard of the safety recall - ignition switch p41/nhtsa 14v-438 (as i later learned) from the media. I called the nearest dealership to inquire on when i could bring the car in for repair. They said they didn't have the part and to call back when i get a letter saying the part is available; that was almost 6 months ago. In the meantime i have also received a letter from chrysler informing me of the recall. That came almost 3 month after the recall was on the news.yesterday, while driving my car all the dashboard lights came on and off and my car momentarily stalled while driving down the highway. These are the same issues i've been having where the transmission control module has been replaced and reading the symptoms of this ignition switch problem, i think they are related. I called chrysler's recall assistance center today and was on hold for 2 hours before i gave up. There was no way to leave a message for chrysler to call me back. The recall has been in affect since july 2014 and has not been resolved in a reasonable time. I am afraid to drive my vehicle as it is a safety hazard to myself and others. This is causing a lot of difficulty for me as this is my only mode of transportation and there is no repair in the foreseeable future.

While driving my 2005 jeep(with my 2 year old daughter in the back)on a friday evening my dashboard lightsand headlights went nuts. They flashed on and off for about 30 seconds and it was pitch black-i was going about 60mph. I decided to take it really slowly but keep on driving,i had issues earlier this year with some shifting module.i really get freaked out about this stuff when my daughters in the car but it was fine for the rest of the weekend .then monday comes. I was on the highway doing about70mph when it happened again. This time it was not my front lights but it was the dashboard again for about 2 minutes. I called chrysler because i have a power-terrain warranty i thought it my be covered. But i need to pay to have it diagnosed-not easy in december right before the holidays. The other problem is a "pop" or "lock" when i'm driving. It seems to be coming from the back. Almost like the brakes locking???and again have to pay to just have it diagnosed. What happen to the public calling and explaining the issue and the tech saying"oh i know what that is"or "yea sounds like your blank is loose" i just bought this not even 2 years ago and already dumped over $1000 for parts. It seems like a lot of others are having these issues. Diamler chrysler should recall these issues for safety purposes.

As i drive my 2005 jeep grand cherokee( hemi)the vehicle simply shuts off. All the lights on the dashboard turn on then the car turns off. I end up with no control. Sometimes this happens and then the vehicle turns on all by itself while im driving. About a week after i purchased it, i had this problem but the dealer said it was fine. As i took it to the gas station across the street, it happened. The dealership employees witnessed it and were nice enough to run over and pushed the vehicle back to the shop. They said they couldn't find anything but replaced the battery just in case. Since then it happens at once every two months.currently, i have an airbag issue. The dealer cannot seem to repair any of these issues. The airbag lights turn on indicated the airbags are off because it does not sense anyone on the seats. It has been to the dealership 3 times for this issue and i am waiting for a call back to return it so they can install an ecm. They think it may be the issue. This will be the fourth visit for the airbags. Seems the vehicle has a lot of electrical problems. I have not driven the vehicle since december 22nd. It is now feb 25. I am afraid of going over the warranty miles.

2005 jeep has been slipping into neutral since february 2013. It caused me to have an accident because i couldn't get out of the way of rear-oncoming traffic. No major damage was done thankfully!a few weeks later i experienced a rollaway. I went into the sitter to pick up my son. After about 5 minutes of being inside i my jeep roll across the street! i go running outside, opened the door and pulled up the emergency break...just missing an embankment!since the "neutral" thing started i have had several service lights come on. My mechanic performed a diagnostic check and he said its all electrical.also, i've had issues with the front passenger window going up/down slower than the rest of the windows since 3 months into purchase. Other issues are cracked door handles (both front doors), replacing taillight kit, ac switch-a few times as it would only work on high.
While driving for about 30 minutes, the gears changed from drive to the 3rd gear.transmission reves up and the check engine light comes on.after coming to a stop, and restarting it, it sometimes goes back to drive mode, but reverts back to the third gear, displays "3" and stays there.took it to a mechanic, could not fix. Dealer claims no recalls for this problem, but online blogs show plenty of people with the same problem.help.

The sunroof/moonroof does not set appropriately when closed and causes water leak and subsequent water damages. This also leads to the drainage lines to clog up and causes water to backup into sensitive electrical components within the roof. My maplight and homelink buttons along with the sunroof engine and buttons have all failed to operate as a result of water damages. Please request a recall on this as there is a database of consumers with similar complaints.

The following day (the second day they had the vehicle in the garage they told me they gave me wrong information and this has hever happened before....they were aware of 2004 grand cherokees having a starting problem not a stalling out while driving problem. They said they would not give me a new vehicle or terminate my lease when i requested it since i feel this car is unsafe for my wife to drive with my child.they have now sent it home with a mechanic so he can drive it back and forth to work to see if it happens again.they have not repaired or replaced any parts.

Dash light flicker on and off and message reads service brake system check and advise.brakes completely replaced a year ago and only drive 7500 miles per year.it is not the brakes.we have researched internet and feel it is an ignition switch problem and pervasive with others as well .if just one key in ignition with no other weight of other keys attached, no problem.however, problem surfaces when any weight of additional keys attached.it almost stalls the car when it hits sometimes.congress is opening up a probe with chrysler now and it should be expedited.car at dealership twice in past month for this problem and still not fixed. We have had prior problems in previous years of ownership as well. It is similar to recent testimony from general motors on their defective ignition issues.

I have had the same issues with my 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo for many years.it seems to be an electrical problem, but no one can tell me for sure what the problem is.there are three major issues that seem to happen around the same time. 1.while slowing down and the engine is idling it has a tendency to stall. It stalls at many stop signs and red lights.sometimes when i'm justidling the engine will fluxuate between 400 and 1000 rpm's and then it will stall. 2.while driving i will lose all electrical power.the lights will flash and thedash will ding and click.the tachometer and speedometer will go to 0the engine will remain running while this happens.if the ignition is turned off and re-started the problem seem to vanish. 3.out of nowhere the jeep won't start.all i get is a clicking noise when i turn the ignition.the dash lights up and the lights work and the radio works.the battery tests out fine.i've had the battery, alternator, andstarted replaced but the issue remains.it will eventually start, but theproblem return in a few days.i've had the jeep into the dealership but they can't find anything wrong.

05 jeep cherokee 4.7 v8 stalling at will and dealer cannot fix it.. Please make jeep fix the issue on all jeeps with the 4.7 v8. Not just the jeep commander is infected with this issue
I am writing to correct the details of my complaint posted on your web site.i spoke with someone on the phone yesterday and the entry posted is inaccurate.my husband was driving my 3 month old 2005 jeep grand cherokee on october 24th (not the 17th) when the engine stalled without warning.he was driving in the left lane of a busy highway during rush hour in the rain.he was able to restart the vehicle after reaching the shoulder of the road.he then stopped at a service station but they could not diagnose the problem.i called the service department at the dealership and was told to tell my husband to drive with the defrost on to keep the engine idle up.i then made a service appointment and asked to have the oil changed at the same time.they kept the truck overnight and said that the diagnostic tests did not reveal any problem and they were unable to duplicate the incident.i was also told that they discovered a "milky" substance when changing the oil and put in a new filter.they did not say that this was the problem.they told me that if it happened again, i should bring it back.my issue is that waiting for a vehicle to stall at high speed on a busy highway is a real safety concern.my husband and i are reluctant to drive the vehicle and actually rented a car to visit our son who is almost 250 miles away at college.i hope you will correct the entry as it is important for other owners who are experiencing the same problem to have the actual facts.

Have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. Issue is starter wiring harness is routed to close to the exhaust manifold. The wires have been melted by the heat. At times the jeep will not start do to one of the wires condition from the heat. If you drive thru a large water puddle it pulls the wire off the starter & jeep will not start. You can clearly see the connector is melted do to exhaust manifold heat. I have done a little research & many others have reported similar issues. The wiring damaged is not available for purchase. Also i am positive many people have been charged for a new starter when it is simply a wire connection issue. We have had this issue happen several times in the past 2 years. Only took it happening the second time & i figured out what the issue was. We to replaced the starter to find melted wiring loom going to starter. The issue still comes up from time to time. It is always the blade connection going to starter. Do to the melting of insulation on wires the connector has lost its ability to stay connected.

My 2005 jeep grand cherokee suddenly lost all power on ca hwy 17 during rush hour.it was as if the ignition switch was turned off.this nearly caused a multi-car collision, followed by a terrifying near miss by a motorcycle.after several attempts, where the ignition switch acted completely dead, the car suddenly re-started.i understand that there is a recall related to the ignition switch, but the documentation i've seen implies that drivers are hitting the keys with their knees.i can assure you that i was on a straight stretch of (very busy) highway, and there was no contact between me and the keys.in addition, there were a total of four keys on the key chain, with no other significant weight.i'll be happy to weigh the entire keychain and send a photo of the digital scale results, but this was not a case of having a large mass on the keychain.the jeep almost killed me.the jeep dealer had the vehicle for three days, and cannot reproduce the problem, and informed me that parts to replace the ignition switch are not available, and there is no estimated delivery date for the parts.they also recommended not driving the vehicle. My concern is that the recall is misrepresented by chrysler, and is more dangerous than the recall implies.of course, i'm also concerned that i have a 4500 lb brick in my driveway until this can be resolved, and must rent or lease another vehicle in the (indeterminate) interim.i'll be more than happy to submit the vehicle for any testing or diagnostics requested, as long as i don't have to drive it anywhere without an escort vehicle.

Vehicle loses power, power steering and power brakes and then shuts off while driving. Believe this is related to recall p41 which has no parts available at the present time. I feel my car is not safe to drive and am requesting a rental vehicle until part becomes available. Since i have to have the car towed to the dealership for a diagnosis i want to make sure the part is available. I am expecting chrysler to reimburse me for all my expenses relating to this fix.this problem has occurred 5 other times besides this last occurr-ence.
While driving approximately 40mph my check engine light started dinging and blinking. Within a few seconds of this the engine powered down ( rpm read 0). All the electrical components stayed on (radio, lights, ect) then within 10 seconds the engine started back up. When the vehicle restarted itself the esp showed being disabled and the rpm's where higher than normal. Any acceleration/deceleration the check engine light would ding and blink. This has happened multiple times since it first occurred. I have taken it to two mechanics to be serviced. The vehicle displayed random codes at both shops.

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.

Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds, the dashboard lights illuminated.the vehicle was driven to the dealer who replaced an o-ring.
Instrument cluster lights all light up at the same time. Speedometer and rpm indicator drop to zero. Then all instrument cluster lights go out completely. This keeps occurring at 10sec to 10 minute intervals. Vehicle has to be stopped, and turned off for the problem to go away. Next day, same thing all over again.a quick search of the internet reveals that this is not an isolated incident. The vehicle has been in to the dealer several times, at a cost of hundreds of dollars. The dealer tells me this is not a known problem.there is a current recall for the 2014 jeep grand cherokee for this exact same problem. In 9 years chrysler has still not managed to fix the problem. They deny there is a problem on my vehicle, but accept that the exact same problem exists on the 2014 model?this is a dangerous situation for which chrysler should be held responsible. A recall is required to the thousands of jeep grand cherokees prior to the 2014 model that are experiencing the same issue.
Dt*: the contact stated the illumination of the instrument panel flickered and failed on three separate occasions.the service brake warning light illuminated each time.on two of those occasions, the brake pedal went mushy, but began operating after the brake pedal was pumped several times.the headlights failed to illuminate on the last occasion while traveling 45 mph.the vehicle was returned to the service dealer three different times for service, but the problems continued. The manufacturer sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle.
I bought the jeep cherokee laredo in june 2005 and i have experienced several events with the instrument panel lighting system and gauges. The panel goes on and off until the engine and / or air conditions shut off. At one point the battery needed to be replaced. It has been very stressful having this condition occurring while driving or at a traffic light. Both dealer and chrysler have improvised some repairs (6 times) that had not resolved the problem. I have decided to file legal action against the dealer and chrysler after seeing in the nhtsa complaint database that this is a widespread and systemic problem with this model. If you want to join the effort to pursue actions using the "lemon" or any applicable law request a complaint research of this complaint record to have access to my phone and e-mail address. Having a joint effort will result in louder and more effective results to defend our rights as consumers.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving 35 mph, all the warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated intermittently.this was accompanied by all the gauges ceasing to function with a clicking noise coming from the dashboard panel.the vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where it was determined that moisture had collected in the junction box.the junction box was replaced, but the problems persisted.
2005 jeep grand cherokee - ~21,000 miles on vehicle.the instrument cluster/gauges will randomly all light up at once, then go off one at a time as i am driving on the road.the speedometer, at the same time will go to 0 then will seem to 'reboot' and go back to the correct speed.again, all of this will happen randomly as i travel on the highways.i have taken this vehicle in 3 times to the westgate chrysler jeep dealership in raleigh, nc, and it has still not been corrected!!on the first trip, they just flashed the computer and sent me on my way.on the second trip there, the flashing happened to the technician so they replaced the junction box and said that should do it...but the problem still occurs.on the 3rd trip, they just hooked up the computer and said everything was fine.they called the chrysler technical service and they told them to just wait until it happens again...then bring it in??it happens at random times, so it's difficult to 'just bring it in'. My jeep has become unsafe to drive at this point!when the instrument cluster goes blank while i'm driving, it becomes a hazard to me and my family. I have contacted chrysler, but i have only received an automated reply.they are not helping me with this serious issue.i've searched the internet with people who have had similar problems, and the solutions range from bad fuses, to corrosion in the connectors, relays, etc.i don't want to take this in to westgate as they appear useless and don't want to do any detective work.please help me remedy this serious electrical issue.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 35 mph through an intersection on normal road conditions, the engine stalled and could not be restarted.there were no warning lights prior to the incident.the vehicle was towed to the dealership, who diagnosed a fuel pump and fuel injection pump failure, both were replaced.after this incident, the vehicle presented transmission problems.the contact noticed a loss of power while driving 65 mph on a highway.intermittently, the transmission made noise when shifted to second gear.the vehicle had been taken to the dealership 20 times, however no error codes identified the defect.in one of the incidents, the yellow malfunction light illuminated and the dealership identified the defect as the computer control module and the driver shaft, both were replaced, however the transmission problem persisted.the dealership determined the vehicle could not be repaired.the manufacturer was contacted who recommended to take the vehicle to a different dealership. The vehicle was not downshifting when going up hills and it would get stuck in second or third gear. The a/c and blower motor were inoperative, the dealer could not duplicate the consumers concern. The key became stuck in the ignition. All the dashboard lights were flashing, the cd player was broke. The brakes and rotors vibrated. The starter was replaced. The driveshaft and heater were replaced. The seats would not move back. The seat belts did not retract as they should. Updated 01/17/07. Updated

I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that i've owned 2 years and have put 28,000 miles on it and my battery is dead.not realizing what a pain it would be to get a new battery i thought oh well.well upon contacting every auto place and multiple dealerships within a 25 mile radius i found out that no one carries this mopar/chrsyler battery.it has to be special ordered and to top it off it goes for between 120-150 and this is the only choice for this suv.per the dealerships the battery does come with a 72 month warranty at least.so i call chrysler to see if they will prorate the battery being i've only the jeep 2 years and it's only 3 years old.well of course they say no.when you purchase one of their cars the battery is only warranted for 36 months or 36,000 miles but if i go buy the exact same battery now they will warranty it for72 months.to me this does not sound accurate but they refuse to help in anyway.they said there is absolutely nothing they can do.i am not asking for something for free but i believe the battery should be prorated.

Was driving on interstate 70 mph, light lit up, i couldn't accelerate, my car immediately slowed down, i barely managed to coast over to the side of road while dodging traffic.immediately put the car in park, shut the car off, turned car back on, put into drive, wouldn't budge. Made the noise as if i was in neutral while pressing on accelerator. I shut the car off, pulled out the manual, read i could experience loss of power, not to drive the car, report immediately to be repaired. I called the 24 towing number, had the jeep towed to the dealership. When i received call from the dealership on april 10, i was told this issue was related to the recall problem that i had repaired in february. After further conversation on tuesday with the service department at the dealership i was given explanation that when i brought the vehicle in for the recall in february 2006, there was already damage done to the vehicle, they had to flush the engine.the power outage i experienced on the interstate was related to the recall, and in addition, they had to flush my engine again and replace a valve in the transmission.when i expressed that i wasn't comfortable driving the vehicle which such safety issues, the service man also agreed it was a safety factor.i was on the phone with chrysler yesterday, and was told that once this problem occurs a 3rd time, i can then go to arbitration, and take the next step, but that step wasn't clear. After expressing my desire to get out of my lease because of the safety concerns, i was told they couldn't do that. The 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo is my 3rd jeep i have driven, no prior vehicle has had problems. At this point, i am supposed to go and pick up my vehicle even though i am not comfortable driving it, in the hopes the next time my power shuts down, i am alive to tell about it. And when that day comes, chrysler can then take the next step in pursuing further action.

I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.several times since i bought it in march the engine has suddenly stopped while i was driving.when i stop the car and put it in neutral, the engine will immediately restart.the dealer has not been able to find why this is happening. This is far more than a nuisance.should it happen, for example, while i'm passing another car, it could result in a crash.i have talked to jeep about this and they claim this condition is impossible. However, the dealer told me that his regional manager has experience the same problem with his 2005 jeep.however i have discovered the source of the problem.the key and ignition switch have been mounted on the steering column.should the driver inadvertently bump the key with his/her leg, you can stop the car.i have confirmed this condition and reported it to the dealer.he mentioned that the regional manager also suspected this was the case.i am a normal sized male, 165 pounds, 5' 11".it should not be possible to stop the car in the manner i am describing.it has happened to me several times since i took delivery of the vehicle.i believe this is a condition that is dangerous and needs to be pursued by daimler chrysler asap.registered professional engineer,

While driving on a busy streetwith my 2 children in the car, i had to stop @ a red light and when the light turned green, i proceeded to go but couldn't and realized that the car had shut off. I tried to restart the car in a hurry due to oncoming traffic but was unable to.finally i find the hazard lights and put them on to let people know that my vehicle was stalled.i had to take the key completeley out and put it back in to restart the vehicle. I could've had an accident.took the car in and left it there for 3 days and the dealership stated that there was nothing wrong with my car and to take it home.so i did.i went out of town that weekend and the same thing happened with the exception of the vehicle was actually in motion when it shut off for the second time on a another busy street.i quickly turned on the hazard lights and once again had to restart the vehicle. As i was making my way back into to town, the check engine light came on and i took the car back to the dealership for another 3 days all for them to say that they reprogrammed the transmission and engine computers and that should resolve the problem. But it didn't... It shut off again about a week later right after i dropped my kids off at school. This is ridiculous and is a safety hazard.i took it back again, keep in mind this is the third time...this time they changed out the ignition cylinder after 4 days.i have only had it back now for 4 days and once again the car shut off at a light on a busy street. So the people at the dealership will be seeing me again!!! this is dangerous and very inconvienent for me and my family.

I am the owner of a 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo.on more than 10 occasions since i have purchased the vehicle i have inadvertently shut of the engine by hitting the key with my knee while driving at highway speeds.i believe this is due to the placement of the ignition directly above the driver's knee.to date i have been able to maintain control of the vehicle and get it restarted before an accident occurred.however, without power steering if i had been on a curve i doubt i would have been able to maintain control of the vehicle.i have been in touch with daimler chrysler via email in an attempt to resolve this situation to no avail.this may be unique to me but i consider it to be a serious safety condition that needs to be rectified.i have asked them to allow me to terminate my lease without success.at this point there is no alternative but to ask that an investigation be initiated to determine whether my concern is an individual problem or a serious safety defect.thank you for you prompt attention to this matter.
I have a 2005 grand cherokee laredo under 3000 miles. My engine light has come on less than 10 times ,and my car has stalledwhen come to stop light or complete stop about 5 times. I have made 5 trips to the dealer and the first few times they could not find anything wrong with it. Then they determined it was related to the remote start which they had installed. I got it back and they said it was fixed and it stalled out when i pulled into my driveway that very day. Engine light came on again exactly 1 week later. Engine light is still on now. This will be my 7th trip to the dealer for this problem. I would also like to say that i have also hit the key in the ignition twice which made the car shut off and my car has also revved up with the brake on just as the other complaints on this site. I am also only getting 12 miles per gallon!

Bought a 2005 jeep grand cherokee in late october.have had numerous instances on engine shutting down while driving, including on a busy expressway.neither chrysler nor the dealer was able to correct the problem (the dealer's service department was in contact with chrysler techical support when trying to repair). They tried a couple of repairs suggested by chrysler that did not resolve the problem.finally realized i was gently bumping the ignitiion key or attached keys when going from the accelerator to the brake and the switch was moving to "accessory"from "on" and killing the engine.the two positions are very close together. Have talked to two people at the dealership who have had this happen with either a jeep or pacifica.to me this is a serious safety concern that could get someone injured or killed if in traffic. I removed all other keys and even the ring from the ignition key to try to prevent this from happening.with this information, the dealer has agreed to replace the ignitiion cylinder; i asked that they check the other grand cherokees to see if it's a common problem several days ago, but they have not yetresponded.to me as an engineer, there are two problems:the ignition switch is very low on the dashboard where the key can easily be hit, and the two positions on the switch are very close together, making this problem easy to occur.if there is the slightest weakness in the spring in the ignition, this is even more likely.

Dt*: the contact stated in april 2006, the vehicle accelerated on its own nearly causing an accident.the service dealer determined the computer system that runs the transmission was the problem.the computer issue allowed the transmission to leak improperly.also, in october 2006 the vehicle stalled at 30 mph due to all the electric in the vehicle failing.
It all started with the seats not staying in there settings(driver 1 driver 2.then the auto dimming rear mirrors would go dark at any time.the rain sensor wipers stopped working. The car would accelerate on it own. Even when in park, then the seats started moving to driver 1 then 2 as i was driving it. The jeep also has a bad odor in it. It is at the dealer as i speak, the jeep is not safe to drive. Fog light go on and off at any time as i was driving the jeep to the dealer the jeep started the speed up on it own the car hit 68 mph in a 45 mph zone , so as you would thing a state trooper pull me over, he ask me why it took me so long to pull over, so i told him the problems with the car, willthe look he gave me !then right in front of him as the car was in park the instrument panel lit up like a xmas tree and the car started to accelerate all by it self, will i did not get a ticket and he follow me to the dealer.

They had to the replace blower motor, relay, resister, and a wire harness.
While suvis running on the road and / or on full stop the dashboard lights turn on and off several times within seconds, rpms decreases, engine stops and air conditioning turn on and off. This conditions have occurred all at the same time or in combinations. In one occasion the battery went dead in middle of the road. The dealership has not been able to find the source ofthe problem. The problem may occur in busy traffic posing risk of car accident.
We leased a 2005 jeep cherokee in january 2005 and in january 2006 everything on the dashboard started to cut off including turn signals, odometer... And everything on the dash including the cd player, the buttons for the heater/ac would overheat and the car began to smoke for no apparent reason.we took it in to galeana, the local dealership and they could not find a problem, which apparently seems to happen quite often with chyrsler automobiles. Shortly after the car began to break down everywhere.if i parked the car at a store, work, home... And went back to start it, it would not crank.this happens 8 out of 10 times and the vehicle has been taken to the dealership 5 times and they could not "duplicate" a problem and now they tell me they can't do anything for me.shortly after that at the end of 2006, as i was driving down the highway a "pebble" as the dealership calls it, went through my grill and hit the transmission coolant, spraying transmission fluid everywhere almost catching on fire with me and my two small children in it.we took it to the dealership and apparently the transmission was blown out, $4,000 dollars to replace.all of our other problems still exists and chrysler does not want to fix the problems or let us out of the lease.i have tried talking to chrysler and getting this issue resolved only to hear them telling me that this was not their problem.this is becoming a trend in their business and if they cannot fix the vehicles they manufactured they should not be making the vehicles in the first place.
Drivers side window on 2005 jeep grand cherokee on first occasion, may 2007 came out of power window track, wedged between mirror and door frame and the pressure resulted in spider cracked throughout window. This is a hazard due to potential window exploding onto driver while in transit.also inability to close window during inclement weather could result in traffic crash. Initial repair resulted in window motor also needing to be replaced, motor warranted by chrysler, but labor was charge to customer.second occasion september 16,2007, same drivers side door window came out of power window track and wedged between mirror and door frame.this time window did not crack, however, chrysler dealerwould not cover under warranty, charging customer.story chrysler jeep, advised window track parts to repair the molding was back ordered for 3 weeks.dealership glued old track molding into place so it would not slip out of place causing this power window issue. ( vehicle has 51,031 miles )additionally, ac/ heat control blower resistor and wiring melted on plug in behind glove compartment of vehicle.this resulted in blower motor only working on high.may be a fire hazard with this vehicle.... Again dealer would not warranty work due to 51,031 miles on vehicle this2.5 years old vehicle has significant safety issues.
1.door handles broken on 3 doors2.electrical system - lights flickering and completely going out while driving at night.3.transmission slips out of gear while driving and will not always change gears.found where other grand cherokee vehicles were recalled for these conditions but not the one i own.
I have been waiting and waiting to get this problem rendered. I received a recall notice about the faulty ignition switch and the slew of possible fatal consequences should anything occur. The recall notice is p41/nhtsa 14v-438, and ive been told i would receive a second recall notice in september 2015. Well, im still waiting!!. Meanwhile i am driving a potentially dangerous vehicle and have been for quite awhile. I have no choice. I have already noticed my check engine light stays lit on my dash, as well as my airbag light as well indicating that i already have issues occurring that are according to the recall notice is linked to this problem. I want this fixed. I cant afford to buy another vehicle and need the one i have. However, am i suppossed to get seriously injured or killed first? then what,? a family member receives a check? who cares about the money if i'm killed? i am seriously annoyed and concerned, please render this issue. And i'm sick of hearing "we dont have the part". I need this vehicle fixed now!!! its been too long already.

Leaving me with absolute no control over the vehicle. I noticed the ignition key had slipped into the forward off position while the vehicle was in motion, creating a deadly hazard as it results in loss of all functionality of the vehicle.

I purchased my 05 jeep grand cherokee 3.7l v6 with 79k miles on it june 21, 2016. In july of 2017, it started to bog down with a constant shutter when starting up and accelerating, the cel was also on.i took it in to have the cel checked out and it was showing 22 codes saying that the o2 sensor had a high voltage circuit.upon examinng and testing the o2 sensor there was nothing found to be wrong.a couple weeks later the cel came on again,but this time it showed the same o2 sensor was running lean and rich at the same time.i replaced the sensor at that time.now it is showing another code p0430 and the timing chain for the electronic shift transmission is jumping.i was informed this happens to these transmissions all the time and there is no repair for it.all i can do is drive it until it goes and buy a new transmission.this is not fair

This problem started when vehicle was new. You would be riding down the road and all the electrical would fail. Instrument warning lights come on. In some instance the engine shut down. No steering or brakes. It was taken to dealer several times and they said they did this or did that. Problem seemed to go away for a while and then it would do it again.this was problem form the very start when we bought the jeep. We spent way to much time at the dealer with no fix and we still have the problem. This is a very serious problem and very unsafe.
The check engine light came on as i was leaving work. So i took it to auto zone and they did a diagnostic on it and they came back with a few possible oxygen sensor, exhaust leak, engine malfunction indicator. So i made an appointment with a chrysler dealership. The check engine light stayed on a couple of days then when i left work the afternoon i was to take it in to dealership the check engine light didn't come on. When i got to dealership i told them the light didn't come on. They said they might still try to figure out problem doing a diagnostic. Anyway a couple hours later they came back and said it was the (tcm) which is the transfer control module. It's in the computer part and it causes hesitation in the transmission and could cause other problems if not fixed. Now mind you it's a $900 fix which is expensive. My particular vehicle has a nag on it, it's part of the mcgeorge mercedes benz jeep grand cherokee. I'm surprised there's been no recall on this.
Jeep shudders during engagement /acceleration. Ac evaporator condensate water causing shuddering in vehicle. Vehicle appears to want to shut off at stop light, rpm's drop drastically and shudders at take off
I was driving on the highway going about 65-70 and i lost all throttle response so my speed fell tremendously and i put on my hazards and i had to get over avoiding traffic. Almost got into a wreck before i got into the emergency lane. Once i pulled over i turned it off and turned my car back on and everything seemed fine. The same thing happened to me twice before i got home. It was my scariest ride home. I called the dealer ship and i took it in. They told me to replace my throttle body so i did this and had it reprogrammed. Drove it for a few days and it did the same thing. They said this it might be a bad throttle body but i've been reading around and a lot of other people have this problem and there dealerships has no idea what it's is.

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! its quite obvious from the first recall only three months after its manufacturer date this truck was meant to fail...!!! so please stop the duct it fix it or[xxx] it!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
About eight months ago chrysler contacted me via a letter informing me of a recall for unintended changes in ignition switch position in my 2005 jeep grand cherokee. I have called them three times already since i received the letter notice when will they fix my car. Chrysler said that soon they will send me another letter once they have the parts to fix my car so i can take my car to get repaired at the dealer. Eight months have passed and chrysler has not contacted me to fix my car. Everytime i call their recall hotline all they say they will contact me next month and nothing is being done to fix my car. This is the main reason i am disputing this issue with the national highway traffic safety administration due to neglect by chrysler. I need help to get my car fixed. Driving my car is unsafe and riskfull to my life and my family.
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
Vehicle without any warning, stalls, loses power, will not accelerate, loss of power means loss stearing and braking. This has occured three times, almost resulting in catastrophic accidents.
On 04/23/2016 i took my vehicle for a recall,p41 / nhtsa 14v-438today is 7/10/2016 and the vehicle has done the same thing twice, all of a sudden all the lights in the dash board go on i loose power and after a while it starts up again.like i said before this has happen twice now i lost my cruise control and a service electrical brake system is coming on and engine light.i fear that this is going to cause me to have an accident one day and there for i have been using only secondary roads that don't have much traffic.
This vehicle has quit running several times since we have owned it while drivingthe engine will just quit. We can move the shift lever in neutral and it will start back up, but this is still dangerous, especially when my wife is driving. It has happened to her 3 times now and happened to me 2 times in about last 5 years.
Getting indications that elect- brake problem indications, skid control indications, and air conditioner not working.
We received a recall notice june 2014 for ignition switch. My vehicle dash board, gauges hear, air, everything shuts off at least 5 times a week. I am told from subclass that the part is still not in. In doing research, i have found the some cars completing shut down. Some while driving 60 on a highway. This needs to be fixed. I feel that over a year is long enough. I need my jeep fixed and safe to drive around with my 4 year old grandson in the back seat.thanks,deb
Electrical system:ignition:switch
At random times while driving, while in park, and just after startup, all dashboard gauges, lights, and power goes out, headlights turn off, but the engine still runs. I cannot see what is in front of me at night, i cannot tell my speed, i cannot see my fuel level, etc. The outage lasts from 2-30 seconds before every single warning light will illuminate for a few seconds, or flicker on and off, and then return to normal.i replaced the ignition 2 years ago from a previous recall notice. This is extremely dangerous because i never know when it will happen, it could happen at night on a heavily trafficked street and i lose all power and lights!
Dashboard lights and service electrical brake system come on and off while driving.when the dashboard flickers all gauges shut down while driving.major safety hazard.researched on internet and this is a global issue with 2005 jeep grand cherokees.
Shudders when in stationary position
Well they say third times a charm...or will it be death? the first incident happened when i was alone in the vehicle as i was making a left hand turn across traffic my jeep just shut down leaving me powerless..by that i mean nothing no steering no breaks no nothing! thank the gods there was no oncoming traffic at the time. The second time was a bit more nerving as my 6 year old son and myself were on the highway keeping up with the 65-70 mph flow of cars,suv's & tractor trailers when all of the sudden my engine power just slumbered off to a crawl. If i had been in one lane over and 3 seconds behind we would not be here today to tell this unsightly story! again thank the gods for looking over us or it would be another statistic on the road and another young child left without a mother (my daughter that wasn't with me at the time)so i ask how many must die or get injured before manufactures man up to their mistakes? the loss of money is nothing it can be replaced but lives can not!!!
Its all on city streets when i'm driving the abs lights come on and my engine lights comes on and off i have to shut the car off and restart it then it says everything is ok. When i come to a stop light and stop it dies but starts right back up
After dealer performed recall 13v175000, traction control is inoperative but no lights are illuminated to indicate the failure of the traction control system.also, shifting the transfer case is inoperative.no warning lights or informational messages are displayed to indicate the loss of functionality.dealer has cleared codes and replaced parts multiple times, but the problem remains.safety issues are:1. Driving in remote areas in low range, and being unable to shift into high range prevents driving on paved roads... Which could leave a driver stranded.2. Failure of traction control system could result in loss of control, especially in winter.
After only 31,000 miles the right front abs and traction control system on a 2005 jeep grand cherokee failed to work, causing erratic stopping, moving and braking.the car stopped in the middle of traffic and had to be accelerated rapidly to avoid a crash.
Electronic shifter module had gone out. Park reverse neutral in and drive are the only functions available. To downshift from drive fourth, third, second, and first have lost all ability.primarily the driving of the vehicle is through the streets of san francisco and the ability to downshift is necessary to avoid collision and to climb the steep hills. Not only for myself, but for anybody else with this problem for example: driving to an exit ramp from speeds of 65 and needing to decelerate to 25 would be very difficult and major where on the brake system. Now for climbing the hills of san francisco in a high gear puts a major stress on the transmission. Please take into consideration that the electronic shifter module should be recalled for safety . This vehicle has already been recalled for an ignition and has been replaced but i received several notices from jeep starting out as simple and is nicely put his please see your service dealership there is a recall and to the extreme of receiving noticesthat said your vehicle has a recall and you are putting other peoples lives in danger by neglecting to have it fixed.i have done my homework and the ignition and was told from a dealership that it was not necessary since i only use the keywith no keychain.i have also done my homework on the electronic shifter module and there are many people who have made videos or testimonies about their jeeps having the problem of the ability not to downshift through the electronic shifter module. In the past 12 years i pray that there has been no accidents in direct relation to this electronic shifter module but if you're a driver you know that every gear on the vehicle is there for a reason and rely on the safety of the vehicle.
I saw the news this morning that chrysler jeep has admitted to a defect where the jeep cherokees (2005) turns off unexpectedly and there are issues with the airbag.my jeep has turned off/stalled soon after i have started driving it on a number of occasions.it sort of stalls with no power going to the engine and then a few seconds later kicks in and moves.this usually happens right after i pull out of a parking space or pull away from the curb to start driving in a lane of traffic.i have brought the car in and discussed the problem a couple times and been told there is no problem.as a separate or related issue, during one of my first services at a jeep dealership when i left the dealership warning lights turned on -- i went back to have the issue addressed and was finally told on the fourth visit that there was a faulty software upgrade and not to worry unless a light went on and stayed on (i didn't have time to pursue the issue and i got no where with the dealership).more recently it has been the airbag light that goes on and off (if is now off).finally, i went to the chrysler website this morning and entered my vin and was told there was no recall or notices.i hope that the nhtsa requires chrysler to address this issue and/or it is addressed through a class action.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph, the vehicle stalled and gray smoke was emitted from the engine compartment. The fire department was contacted and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and was declared as destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 130,000.
Vehicle will not shift into correct gear when accelerating from a dead stop. Tops out at 3,000 rpms at 60mph. This is an intermittent problem. But will at least happen 2 times a day. When it happens you have to pull over and shut off the engine off and restart. This most likely will fix the problem. This is very dangerous when intraffic.this typically happens when you stop at a traffic light and start to take off. I had the censers changed in the transmission but didn't fix the problem. The vehicle has less than 100,000 miles on it. It is getting worse every day know.
I have had issues with this vehicle recalls p73 and 41 for over a year. The truck has been sitting in my driveway for a year!!! i have notified jeep numerous times, and yet the part has not been produced. I have been left with no car for 1 year. I have had to pay for uber, taxis, rentals, buses, trains, and have walked everywhere due to this recall. It has drained my battery. Jeep has not once compensated me. Every time i call, they say next month. This had been for one year now! the car lost power while driving on the interstate on 66, 395, and 495 interstates. What is it going to take for jeep to do something? i had one rep said we'll reimburse me, how are you going to reimburse me, for a part that's not even in production. I reported this issue to the jeep dealer where i reside last year about the lights flickering and the please fix the electrical brake system error, the refused , because they stated, they never saw it. I was told i can rent a car for them, on my own dime for 40.00 a day!! i shouldn't have to when it's jeep's recall. I have lost out on jobs, because of transportation. This is really serious.

While driving on the freeway, the vehicle suddenly shifted itself into 3rd gear.paddle shifting was inoperable and vehicle will up or down shift.error codes given are p0700, and p0406.problem seemed to resolve after restarting vehicle, but then shifts again after a couple of minutes.now vehicle stays in 3rd gear permanently.fluid levels ok, guessing it is electrical/computer related issue based on internet research.taking to dealer soon to have final drive controller new software installed based on recall #n23.hoping it is related to that issue.

2005 jeep has been slipping into neutral since february 2013. It caused me to have an accident because i couldn't get out of the way of rear-oncoming traffic. No major damage was done thankfully!a few weeks later i experienced a rollaway. I went into the sitter to pick up my son. After about 5 minutes of being inside i my jeep roll across the street! i go running outside, opened the door and pulled up the emergency break...just missing an embankment!since the "neutral" thing started i have had several service lights come on. My mechanic performed a diagnostic check and he said its all electrical.also, i've had issues with the front passenger window going up/down slower than the rest of the windows since 3 months into purchase. Other issues are cracked door handles (both front doors), replacing taillight kit, ac switch-a few times as it would only work on high.
Recall sent in october 2014 and as of today february 12,2015 the replacement part has still not been sent out to the dealer and there is no future date even discussed. If this is a danger and my research shows that in fact if the car ignition goes off, it can be very dangerous, then this delay is not acceptable.
Vehicle without any warning, stalls, loses power, will not accelerate, loss of power means loss stearing and braking. This has occured three times, almost resulting in catastrophic accidents.
My car just stop one day i put in new stuff and it just won't crank anymore it's like it don't wanna get gas the system and computer in car don't work
Exhaust manifold bolts break and allow unfiltered exhaust fumes into the cabin.there are hundreds of complaints at chrysler about this problem and they will not acknowledge or fix the problem.bolts installed are 8mm instead of the standard 10mm.

Engine shuts off.
While driving approximately 40mph my check engine light started dinging and blinking. Within a few seconds of this the engine powered down ( rpm read 0). All the electrical components stayed on (radio, lights, ect) then within 10 seconds the engine started back up. When the vehicle restarted itself the esp showed being disabled and the rpm's where higher than normal. Any acceleration/deceleration the check engine light would ding and blink. This has happened multiple times since it first occurred. I have taken it to two mechanics to be serviced. The vehicle displayed random codes at both shops.
Vehicle is an automatic, suddenly attempted to manually shift into a lower gear. The vehicle suddenly slowed down to 5 miles an hour and the rpms started to red line. Check engine light came on and stayed on all day. This has happened numerous times in the last few months without warning.

I then had to put the vehicle back into park and turn it on again.this is the second time it has died when i have been pulling out of my driveway from a stop.

While rounding a corner husbands knee bumped into ignition switch, car shut down. Received recall notice in sept. 2014 and have contacted local jeep dealer several times, still no parts to fix this problem. We are following suggested handling of key fob, only the key in ignition. The danger became very present to us last night as we had just gotten off the highway where we were driving at speeds of 65 mph. This would have had a vastly different outcome going that fast. How long is it going to take before this fix takes place? we don't want to die!! had i been driving instead of my husband i would have surely panicked and wouldn't be sitting here writing you now. Chrysler needs to get moving on this before we encounter a dreaded accident.
I purchased a 2005 jeep grand cherokee on 10/14/2017 and on 10/20/2017 on my way from dropingmy kid off ,coming home my car started to run sluggish so getting off the highway it caught on fire.was there ever a recall on this car, so i look on the internet and found out that a recallinvolves 2005 .that the transmission fluid will get too hot cause it boil and eject some of the fluid could come into contact with a hot part of the exhaust and cause an engine according to jeep recall grand cherokee over fire dangerweb site.**see also 11053735**
My jeep has been experiencing loss of power and restarting while driving down rt 80. Almost got myselfand my pregnant girlfriendkilled when it just off and restarted, i called the dealer right away and they couldn't do anything due to lack of part, we only have one car and they would not grant me a loaner, this is very unsafe, the lights on the dash all flickered then car shut down and restarted instantly and i'm sure it's causing other damage to the vehicle. I took all the key chains off an it has helped, but it's been doing it a lot more lately and it's very unsafe, when will a partbecome viable ?! this is redicoulus and clearly chrysler doesn't care about your saftey!
A few weeks/months after the purchase of my jeep about 2 years ago, i noticed that my cruise control had stopped working and the abs light had come. I checked my fuses and relays and they were ok. Then a day or so later i was driving on the interstate and my check engine light and my brake lights came on. My jeep then seemed to downshifted itself. It felt as if the transmission had locked up, it slowed to about 30mph and would not shift onto another gear.i pulled over killed the motor. After a few attempts to drive it, i turned the key over and noticed the break and engine lights were off so i attempted to drive home and was sucessfull. This started to happen more and more often. I noticed that it mainly happened when either i was running my ac or it was wet/raining outside. I then started researching jeep problems and recalls. I came across the daminoncrysler recall no. 13. The recall had described the issue i was having, so i researched my vin and it staled that the recall no. 13 has already been completed on jeep. Now my jeep is stuck in limp mode and will not reset. It will not shift and the abs, brake and engine lights stay on. Is there a way to find out exactly what service did they did when it was recalled in 2005 (if any)? i dont know what to do
The vehicle was parked and i attempted to start the vehicle. The car was operating properly 3 minutes prior to attempted starts. The first attempt, the engine fired up and revved up but immediately died. Subsequent attempts were similar. After about 4 or 5 attempts, there was a large rattling noise and the engine became impossible to start. After towing the vehicle to a mechanic and having them open up the engine, we found that the valve seat had dropped out from the cylinder heads and must have caused the engine to operate incorrectly. The valve seat had shattered into many tiny pieces, which most likely caused the rattling noise. Upon investigation i have found that the valve seat dropping out is a common issue on the 5.7l hemi engine in my jeep as well as other vehicles manufactured by dodge and chrysler. This is unsafe and should require the immediate action of chrysler to recall these vehicles and permanently fix the problem with their valve seats.
I was north bound on 95 and the key to the vehicle was tapped and the vehicle was turned off.i was traveling at 70 mph and lost all control of the vehicle.i was able to pull to the side of the highway and start the vehicle.this has happened twice, and i fear for my life when i am behind the wheel.i have received a recall notice and was told the part was not available.i was told i would be contacted when the part was available.this recall notice was issued several months ago.

I just had my jeep inspected and was told that a manifold bolt was broken and would cause other issues if not fixed. Damage to manifold & gasket, etc.) they also said that this is a common issue with jeeps chryslers and doge engines.
The 3.7l motor has blown a head. After researching online i see that this is a common problem for this motor but jeep won't do anything or admit the problem. I spent over $20,000 on a american vehicle because i thought they were a trusted name. I should not be forced to spend $3000 getting a new motor because jeep won't stand behind their product.
I was driving down the highway going approximately 65 mph when, without warning, the vehicle shut down completely.engine shut down, all power steering, braking, and power systems were lost.luckily, i was in the far right lane and was able to pull safely to the side of the road.once the vehicle came to a complete stop i was able to restart the vehicle and continue on.this is an extremely dangerous issue.after calling the dealer was told there was a recall for the symptoms described but no parts available to fix it and it could be months before it could be fixed.no offer was made to provide me with a vehicle to drive while the issue remained open.i am not going to endanger my life, my family's lives, or the lives of other drivers by continuing to operate this vehicle.the dealer should be required to provide an alternate mode of transportation to the customer if the issue cannot be resolved in a timely manor.
Recall p 51 - faulty ignition switch...reported to owners, september 2014...jeep has not provided a fix and do not have any idea when it will be available...i called jeep the customer service number on the recall notice and the voice system puts you on hold forever (i finally hung up after 1 hour)...it's obvious that jeep doesn't want to fix this problem...you need to make them do it...thanks...[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Nhtsa veh rec # 14v-4387-still unresolved due to part availability - there have been more than two-dozen instances where jeep vehicle has shut itself down rendering all driver safety / control features (brakes, steering, air-bags) completely off!this vehicle failure happens at different speeds, direction (fwd-rev) while turning, going straight, uphill & down etc - this jeep vehicle will shut off without warningsince the key is in the on position, accessories (radio, wipers, fans etc) will remain on making it very difficult to detect that the engine has stopped and there is a zero engine power.it's not until you realize you've lost propulsion (passing or going uphill), slowing down, or loss of power assist steering and breaking, that you begin to react and try to restart the jeep.the first reaction is often panic driven breaking and getting out of harms way.today (3/19/2015) was my worst experience yet!driving ~35 mph on 2 lane road w/ mod-heavy morning traffic around me (7:15am) and this jeep shuts itself off. The car directly behind me swerved to avoid me as i had no power, and could not safely get out of the flow of traffic!i find it totally reprehensible that as of yet, there are no parts available to fix thus known defect!this is a 2005 vehicle - w/ a recall date of sept 3 2014, more than six months ago, and as of today, because it's my primary vehicle, i risk my, & family lives, all the while jeep and the us gov't have known about its defect.i expect jeep and the us gov't will defend and hold me (and any other drivers of this vehicle) harmless against any undesired events caused by this defect. Please respond if possible.
It started out with my key fob not unlocking my car. So i decided to unlock my car manually, doing so set off the alarm and had the lights blinking and horn going off. So i then decided to order a new fob with a new battery (even though mine was new). That didn't work, so i decided to call someone to come program my fob, thinking that was the issue. So they did. It worked for about 2 weeks. Then the fob didn't unlock my car, brand new fob, brand new battery. Back to square 1, unlocking it manually dealing with the horn issue. Then, 1 day got in my car, started it and pulled in the windshield wipers, the horn went off and would not stop even after shutting off the car. It continued to be an issue and the problem couldn't be resolved. So we pulled the fuse to my horn. Now i'm driving with no horn, a hazard. Issues continued, my car now not only will the alarm still go off with flashing lights now it's not starting, it's even acted up while driving with the engine having weird spasms and accelerating. Worried because i don't know what to expect with this vehicle. I have a brand new battery and even got it tested by mechanics and they said the battery was fine. My car has huge electrical issues and the airbags apparently don't work either. But i've pulled out fuses and it sometimes reboots the car and will start normal and work for maybe a few days before acting up again. Sometimes it won't even start and make a clicking sound as if it's the battery but then after many tries or sometimes a few it'll start. This has been going on for a bit now and has just gotten worse and more worrisome

The vehicle will not idle when hitting the brakes at a stop sign or traffic light or coming to a complete stop resulting in a rear end collision. From the vehicle not maintaining a normal idle position.this is a danger to the vehicle occupants and anybody else on the road .jeep is aware of the problems and have not come up with a solution for the customers.i have seen this same thing reported to the nhtsa onrecord a million times and will see this issue gets addressed if i have to call a senator that is a good friend of mine somebody is going to answer for this! to read the amount of complaints that have been reported to the nhtsa and nothing has been done is unacceptable and i can assure you the nhtsa better investigate this immediately. This pertains to jeep grand cherokee 2005 v8 4.7 liter motor found in 57% of all jeeps that were built. You can go to youtube and see this in a video of this happening and its also on the jeep forums web site posted a million times.
April 2014. Stopped at a store, went to leave and battery wouldn't turn over; 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredodid this a couple more times leaving me stranded (just weeks after buying it) it seemed to fix itself after my mechanic cleaned battery post and re tightened cables. A couple of days ago vehicle started acting up again. Didn't want to start and when it did it would run great and all the sudden my traction control, brake lights, engine etc... (i think most the lights that come on in dash when you first start car). Then today. I was driving at 30mph when jeep started cutting out; lights on dash would flash; clock would reset to 12; i'm trying to stop and my brakes are very stiff; power steering extremely stiff. A lady pushed me out of the road, i put car into park. She thought i needed to be pushed further but them the car would not come out of park. After waiting for over an hour for aaa to not show, another lady offered to try and jump jeep. Jeep started right up. I had 10 miles to drive the whole time dash lights coming off and on; steering all but freezing up and brakes too.before i left my spot just off the road that i had been pushed to , i tried several times to start jeep. It wouldn't start wo assistance but i noticed everytime i cranked the key the clock radio did reset to 12. I'm hoping it's the ignition recap so i can get back to a safe vehicle for me and my toddler daughter very soon.
Driving on interstate at 70mph, vehicle ignition switch switched off causing complete loss of engine power and control of steering.
The first incident took place approximately on the above date. As my daughter, friends and i were pulling onto the road, i bumped the key with my knee and the vehicle shut off completely. Everything went dead. I put it in neutral, turned the key, started it, and continued on. It has happened 3 times since then, twice with my daughter driving. We followed the recall posted by chrysler and removed everything from the key chain, moved the seat back, etc. (there is no fix offered for this). This past saturday night, 7/25/15, my 18 year old daughter was returning home from a friends house when she sneezed and as she was recovering and re-adjusting, she bumped the key and shut the car off. When this happens, everything is cut off. Lights, brakes, gauges, everything. Being dark, she could not see, could barely steer, brake, etc. And was basically "along for the ride". As she was in a left turn at the time, she pulled the wheel to the right to try and stay on the road and not go "beyond the turn" and crash. Because the brakes were not working, she was going too fast, managed to get the car going to the right but ended up in a slide. The car slid sideways and then backwards, sliding off the road to the right side and onto a driveway where the driver side front wheel caught the culvert under the driveway, flipping the jeep onto the drivers side where it remained as it slid backwards for about 10 feet, stopping in a residents yard. Thankfully, my daughter was able to climb up and out the passenger window, unharmed, go to a house and get help. Because there is not a "fix" for this problem (chrysler admits this on the recall notice), i am out a vehicle because of a defect they can not/will not fix. Because of the year model and mileage, i only carried liability insurance, so the damage to the vehicle will exceed the cost to repair. I feel chrysler owes me the replacement cost.
All safety recalls and recalls have not been done
When it started malfunctioning, i would be just driving and my jeep would just shut off, engine, power, all the dash lights come on, and steering becomes difficult as well as braking, and now it won't start. This is extremely dangerous to be driving but the ignition switch isn't available yet, this is a known recall and now its causing me to miss work since its my only vehicle. This is unacceptable and very dangerous, this has taken far too long to fix. Please help! i need a loaner!
We received a recall notice and yet there is no fix for this recall yet. My husband's car has shut off on him about 5+ times. Each time he could have been involved in an accident but thankful he was safe. We don't have money to purchase another car at this time and yet i fear for my husband's safety. When will chrysler group llc rectify this situation????

While driving the lights on the instrument cluster, radio, ac and lights shut off as well as loss of power steering and engine shut off. Including the brakes, accelerator, and all electrical system. Leaving me with absolute no control over the vehicle. I noticed the ignition key had slipped into the forward off position while the vehicle was in motion, creating a deadly hazard as it results in loss of all functionality of the vehicle.

In route to open gym for my 3yr old, after exiting expressway in traffic approx 5-7mins, suv shuts off. After it shut off it would nt start for approx 4 mins, it did not fully crank yet cranked, in a putting pattern, i was able to pull it out of traffic into an office park located at 3525 piedmont rd ne atl, ga 30308 in front of building 7 entering from piedmont rd. Once parked, my temp gauge was on hot panned hard right, the suv would not start, i allowed it to cool down to halfway, during that time i made 4 attempts to start the suv. Each time it would putter, or sound as if it was out of gas. Once suv cooled to half i attempted to start and it started in the same putter fashion as before, yet appearing to catch as if it was start normal, all the while smoking out the back a slight pop could be heard coming from underneath the front of the vehicle, yet as it appeared to start i would give it gas with hopes that it would catch and then it just shut off and started smoking and there was a noticeably different odor that my 3 yr old and i smelled, from there i got out of the truck to see if the smoke was coming from the radiator, since the temp gauge was just on hot, i notice there was a fire burning in the lower back of the engine region, i immediately lowered the hood due to not having anything to prop it open with, i immediately got my 3 yr old son out of the vehicle to safety, i return to get his car seat and anything to hopefully salvage, i then return to the suv to put out the fire out as best i could, i appeared to out on both sides and just smoking badly. Called a ride to take me and my 3yr old home. The following day i checked the suv, the engine area, hood, front windshield had completely burned, there is no hood area, the hood is in the windshield, and everything else forward chard and melted, to the yellow pieces, iwas able to take photos, and a video.

I am the owner of a 2005 jeep grand cherokee with a 4.7 v8.the exhaust manifold bolts (qty 2) on the passenger side sheared resulting in exhaust manifold leak (possibly due to heat or under engineering rust was not a factor).i have made chrysler aware of this issue as many people have experienced this issue with the 4.7 v8 found not only in the grand cherokee but the commander, and dodge durango as well.a leaking exhaust manifold can cause engine compartment fires.this issue can also result in toxic fume inhalation through cabin air intake ports.the dealership quoted $1300 to replace (8) bolts that should never fail.when i called chrysler, they were not interested in my safety, and excused the issue by stating that "cars are just not made like they used to be".i find this ridiculous due to the fact that this issue can result in death, oxygen deprivation, as well as server burn in the event of fire.
My jeep jumps to third gear randomly, and it ends up jittering and shaking. My car got stuck so many times and ended up being stalled on a busy highway and almost got into an accident. I was once parked and had shifted to drive but instead the jeep suddenly jumped to 3rd and my car started to go backwards and ended up hitting another car behind me. I had to pay the guy $500 and also got all the fluids and oils changed in hopes of getting this fixed, but to no avail. Yesterday, i spent $450 on these fluid and oil changes only to have the problem continue. Thousands of people are having the same issues and jeep has no answers.you guys need to do a total vehicle recall since jeep has no answers. Many people can die from this defect. I have a video to prove the car jumping to third and all the issues i just described.

Ecm was not functioning properly. Connections were failing. Due to this engine power was lost while running. At times would just shut off. Vehicle was stationary at time of wiggling pcm but don't want to find out if this would happen if i hit a rough spot on the highway going 75. Problem is manufacturer is not producing these computers anymore and can't find one anywhere, also can't be repaired.

This is reguarding the safety recall p41/nhtsa14v-438. Parts are still not available to fix this. I have spent numerous hours, once 3 hours waiting to speak with a rep. No addituonal information has been sent out by jeep. This is appauling! since the letter i have made several attempts to fix the recall and dealers cant even get the part. Please help.
I went to change the oil and noticed only 2 quarts were drained from the engine instead of 5. I use mobile1 fully synthetic motor oil and since then im averaging losing a quart of oil a month. The oil light does not come on, when it gets low, i just noticed the engine was knocking. I searched for answers online and found out that this happens on all 3.7 lt engines around 75,000 miles chrysler makes. Why is there no recall?
Engine stalls when coming to a stop. This stalling at a stop only happens a few minutes into driving and disappears after about 1/2 hr of driving. The stall can be prevented by pushing the (automatic) transmission into neutral. (i.e. This looks to be a transmission control problem, not an engine idle problem). Jeep dealer had car for two days and was able to reproduce stall but could not find cause and fix the problem. There is no check-engine light on.

I purchased my 05 jeep grand cherokee 3.7l v6 with 79k miles on it june 21, 2016. In july of 2017, it started to bog down with a constant shutter when starting up and accelerating, the cel was also on.i took it in to have the cel checked out and it was showing 22 codes saying that the o2 sensor had a high voltage circuit.upon examinng and testing the o2 sensor there was nothing found to be wrong.a couple weeks later the cel came on again,but this time it showed the same o2 sensor was running lean and rich at the same time.i replaced the sensor at that time.now it is showing another code p0430 and the timing chain for the electronic shift transmission is jumping.i was informed this happens to these transmissions all the time and there is no repair for it.all i can do is drive it until it goes and buy a new transmission.this is not fair

After 13v175000 recall - 2005 jeep gc still slips into neutral while running. Also, sometimes when moving from drive to reverse, it "stalls" in neutral and won't move into reverse. So far, this has only happened when idling at stop lights and in parking garages. Putting the car in park, shutting it off, and turning it back on reset things - but i'm worried that this will happen while driving. Took it to the dealership - they can't find anything wrong with it.

While departing philadelphiaairport , entering ramp to access interstate 95, the vehicle lost all power, engine, power steering and brakes would not work. Head lights were still functioning. We physically pushed the vehicle off the highway, so other drivers and municipal bus drivers would stop screaming at us. The vehicle would not start. After calling the police and a tow truck, about 30 minutes later , the vehicle started. We had the vehicle towed to our home 100 miles away in new jersey. The vehicle would start and remain running for about 15 minutes, then would shut down again, same issues. Several sensor codes came up on a readout but nothing has been done to the vehicle. At this point it is functioning, but we are afraid to drive the vehicle. Any help or recall info on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Bought used 2005 jeep grand cherokee from kendall cjd in miami on june 10th.on sept 28th i stopped at a gas station to get a drink and jeep would not restart.i had it towed to a shop and was told i dropped a valve seat and blew a hole in the #4 piston....what.i don't understand how this can happen.this jeep only had 72,000 miles and i paid a premium because of that.
I was driving down a local freeway. Had just merged on and began to accelerate. Once reaching 65 mph the vehicle felt liken it slammed on the brakes while my foot was on the accelerator. Only lasted for a second then returned to normal. 1/3 mile later is happened again. It has been going on for about a week now. Have come to realize that it is most likely a torque converter or transmission. There is recalls on the vehicle for ignition also. Which chrysler has yet to resolve. Have they really fixed the transmission issue on this vehicle? or not? this vehicle apparently has caused many people problems and i myself have had two of these exact jeeps. Both have been complete catastrophes. This problem is very scary and very unsafe for any driver. I have no money to fix the problem nor will the dealer or chrysler help with the issue. I hope you can somehow help me. I'm begging you. Please do something about this. So everyone can have a safe experience on the roadways.
Driving 16 miles per hour entering in to a left turn when engine shut down, lost control of vehicle, no power steering and no brakes.
When attempting to start the vehicle, i heard one click and nothing happened. Lights and gauges worked, but nothing else. Jeep was jumped and then started right up. It went two months and is now doing the same again. Within a week, it has done it 3 times. Battery replaced and starter checks out fine.also gauges dim and then come back on within seconds. The alarm goes off whenever it feels like it. Doors sometimes will not unlock with the fob which sets the alarm off. Nav system only works when it feels like it. Low setting on heater doesn't work.this lemon needs recalled!!!

Won't speed up and when is does it gets jammed and it shakes and when i break its shakes even when i turn. I just bought it and they are telling me that it's either the motor messed up or the computer. They told me that it'll cost me 3,000 i don't have that. I saved up for a head to by it. And a month after i got it it's messing up. But when i first bought it. I took it to a shop and it threw no codes nothing was wrong with it. It took all of a month to break down on me. And the battery won't stay charged they put in a new battery when i first got it. Then i had to warranty another because that one stopped working. I just need help to figure out what is going on.

Now if i'm below 45 it don't really do it as often! when i turn or hit a bump in the road the front end rattled or vibrating from it! some days when i'm trying to make a u turn it seems as if it's having a hard time turning! check engine light constantly on and off! had it checked nothing is coming up indicating a misfire or anything! the gas mileage sucks! get a full tune up and it will run better spending all my money and it's still a piece of crap!

Well they say third times a charm...or will it be death? the first incident happened when i was alone in the vehicle as i was making a left hand turn across traffic my jeep just shut down leaving me powerless..by that i mean nothing no steering no breaks no nothing! thank the gods there was no oncoming traffic at the time. The second time was a bit more nerving as my 6 year old son and myself were on the highway keeping up with the 65-70 mph flow of cars,suv's & tractor trailers when all of the sudden my engine power just slumbered off to a crawl. If i had been in one lane over and 3 seconds behind we would not be here today to tell this unsightly story! again thank the gods for looking over us or it would be another statistic on the road and another young child left without a mother (my daughter that wasn't with me at the time)so i ask how many must die or get injured before manufactures man up to their mistakes? the loss of money is nothing it can be replaced but lives can not!!!
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! its quite obvious from the first recall only three months after its manufacturer date this truck was meant to fail...!!! so please stop the duct it fix it or[xxx] it!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While i was driving on a main road, my car completely shut down. My steering wheel was locked, gas and brake petal were not working, basically my car was going on its own. Worst part was that it was going on a slant while other cars driving 45/50 miles per hour heading towards me. I could not stop my car, nor drive my car, nor try and steer myself to a safe location. My car just kept going. Something needs to be done. I have almost lost my life 2 times already. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle. Everytime i go to chrysler... They do not know what to do or what is going on. When will this be fixed and how?
I bought my gd cherokee used with 71k miles. I just had my first oil change before heading out on a camping trip for the weekend. On the return trip, i had just turned onto the highway (55 mph zone). I am 6'4" tall. The previous owner was shorter than me. The seat was in the wrong position (i now know). While switching from gas pedal to brake pedal, my knee hit the key in the ignition. The car turned off. I immediately reached for the key and turned the car back on. It lunged the way a manual transmission dose when the clutch is let out too quick. I moved my seat back away from the wheel. Now i drive it from farther back, which means i need to sit up straighter, which means my head hits the ceiling often. I have the limited edition and i love everything about it except the seat can't go down far enough for me to drive it comfortable without turning the car off which has got to be horrible for the car.
Jeep was parked and when returned to start , a lot of clanking in engine. I had the car towed and was told a valve seat dropped and the motor has to be replaced.

My jeep 5.7l v8 was under extended warranty and was taken to the dealer for recall on ignition and computer flash for receiver. While there i asked them to check the ticking noise coming from my motor. I was advised this was normalfor this motor and mileage(88,000). This tick keeps getting worse and i see most 5.7s up to now still have it ,before the lifters ruin a crankshaft.

While driving my vehicle it just shut down without any warning and i had to guide it to the side of the road to restart it.thankfully i was driving in a neighborhood where i could do this, it did this a couple of times in one outing, now its every so often. So far it has not done it while i'm out on an interstate but i try to stay close to home til it can be fixed. Plus when i have on my lights my dashboard lights blink on and off . Then here recently the air bag light started flashing and a few days ago it stayed on and hasn't shut off. I've talked to the jeep dealership about this and they said that they don't have the parts to fix the recall item p41/ nhtsa 14v-438 and i'm liable for the airbag issue. From what i have read online all of these issues are connected. I received a letter on the recall a few months back but have not heard anything back on when i can get it fixed at the dealership.please advise on what steps i should take to get the parts for this recall so i can enjoy driving my vehicle again. Thanks again
It has happened on several occasions now; however, the first time my truck completely shut off, i was driving ~35mph then slowed down a bit to turn and suddenly had no power. It started back up with out issue, but it was terrifying, as i was in the middle of an intersection.most recently, i was driving with my wife and kids in the truck and a similar incident occurred. I was driving ~25 mph when the engine just shut off. Again, it started on the first attempt.
While driving for about 30 minutes, the gears changed from drive to the 3rd gear.transmission reves up and the check engine light comes on.after coming to a stop, and restarting it, it sometimes goes back to drive mode, but reverts back to the third gear, displays "3" and stays there.took it to a mechanic, could not fix. Dealer claims no recalls for this problem, but online blogs show plenty of people with the same problem.help.
This vehicle has quit running several times since we have owned it while drivingthe engine will just quit. We can move the shift lever in neutral and it will start back up, but this is still dangerous, especially when my wife is driving. It has happened to her 3 times now and happened to me 2 times in about last 5 years.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee(4.7) with 58,000 miles overheated and stalled as i was pulling a small cargo trailer. The jeep is equipped with a transmission cooler and up until this incident i've had no overheating problems. When i popped the hood there was coolant every where. The jeep was towed to service garage and was diagnosed with a failed water pump. The day i picked up my "fixed" jeep i noticed a strange sound coming from the engine ... I took the jeep back to my service garage and they told me my a/c compressor was failing and upon checking with the local parts supplier, my mechanic told me he could not buy a replacement compressor ... I must go to a jeep dealer. I did and was told there was a national back order and i would have to wait at least 3 weeks for a replacement. Keep in mind the engine has one belt, so at any time the compressor could freeze up and i would not be able to drive the vehicle once the belt broke. I did a lot of phone calling and found a compressor in illinois .. It was delivered and installed for $550.00. So, within a week i spent over $900.00 for repairs. The jeepwas a dealer demo, so i was out of warranty even though i bought the jeep with less than 1,000 miles on it.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle hesitated without warning.it was driven to the dealer on several occasions, however the problem has not been determined.
While returning to my home in nj from a trip to fl, i heard a loud thump from the rear passenger side of the car followed by a noticeable change in exhaust note. I pulled into a gas station a few miles away and inspected the vehicle. The rear portion of the exhaust was missing, from what appeared to be separation due to corrosion.the rear bumper melted at the point above where the exhaust tip extends.of course, warranty coverage for this part expired at 8 yrs/80k miles.
2005 jeep grand cherokee stalled at stop sign.
The stalling problem was originally reported to the dealers technicians at 9,007 miles.it occurred intermittently while coasting or braking.they could not reproduce the problem, indicating "[no codes] stored; could not duplicate condition" on the repair form, and sent it home with me.knowing there was nothing they would do until a stall could be deliberately demonstrated, i continued to drive it until september, when the stalling became more frequent than the normal every-2-month average and nearly caused an accident due to the unexpected loss of power steering and brakes.i again asked them to track down the problem and repair it.they finally decided to attach their co-pilot computer which monitors the jeep's systems and have me drive it for a while.if it stalled, i was to press a button to capture the previous and future 30 seconds of vehicle activity.on two occasions while the co-pilot was attached, a stall occurred.i pressed the co-pilot trigger to capture the data both times.when they got the jeep back, they said there was something indicating the engine stopped running on two occasions.chrysler recommended they replace the egr valve and the purge solenoid, which they did.this morning it stalled again. I updated chrysler and the dealer about the incident.the service manager told me that chrysler's engineers have instructed them to perform no service - no replacements and no troubleshooting - on my jeep until a mechanic can demonstrate another engine stall.please note the following thread on jeepforum.com.i submitted this thread's information to the dealer tech's, but i cannot tell how much good it did.my jeep still stalls and chrysler still has no fix for it. This thread calls out commanders and grand cherokees, from 2005 through 2008.this is an extremely serious and wide spread problem, and it has "recall" written all over it.this problem needs attention and it needs it now.http://jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=253493.
Car accelerated rapidly on four separate occasions without touching accelerator.despite pressing hard on brake pedal, car engine sped up and spun two wheels making black tire marks on pavement.now at dealer for diagnosis.
Our 2005 jeep grand cherokee has started cutting out or stalling. Engine just stops. My son was almost in a major collision when he couldn't get the car out of the intersection. Thank god there was no accident. Maybe if more people complained - i hate to see lives lost- what will it take for a recall- jeep repair states resetting the drive train should help.. Does it????
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 60 mph on the interstate, there was a loss of all vehicle power, and the engine stalled without warning.afterwards, the engine was easily restarted.the vehicle was inspected by a dealer who determined the electrical wires along the engine were mounted incorrectly and had worn into.the electrical wires were replaced, but the engine stalling problem persisted.the manufacturer was alerted.updated 12/28/2006 - whike driving at speeds of 5 - 60 mph all the dasj lights would flash on and off and the vehicle would loose power.so far the dealer has replaced the crank sensor due to wear, front control module.
2005 jeep grand cherokee engine stalls out twice on interstate while traveling with total loss of power, once in parking garage on turn , once going up hill twice at stop sign , another time twice in one 15 minute trip diagnostics showed nothing.
Our 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited 5.7l has stalled out three times after purchasing used in 2007.this has happened twice while traveling 65 miles per hour on an interstate and once while backing out of the driveway.each time the vehicle stalls out, the entire car shuts down, including electronics.each time the vehicle has restarted without trouble.
2005 jeep grand cherokee purchased brand new. Vehicle stalls while makingsharp left turn (1st occurrence). This left me with no control of the vehicle. In march of 2006, vehicle stalled while making same left turn. Took vehicle to dealer for diagnosis and repair. Dealer could not find a problem and was told to "bring it back if it happens again". On 11/14/06, vehicle stalled while driving straight. Again i had no control of vehicle. Returned to dealer, vehicle was inspected by mechanic and regional manager. Called by service manager and was told "vehicle will not duplicate problem, come and pick up vehicle, car rental will not be covered at this point". Told him i will not pick it up until something is done to correct this problem. I am very uncomfortable putting my family in this car, it's too unpredictable. I was then told it's out of his hands, it's a manufacture problem. Contact chrysler direct. I have contacted chrysler and filed a formal complaint. I was given a reference number and was told i would be contacted in 3 business days. I realized this was right around thanksgiving holiday and a lot of people are on vacation. The following week i contacted chrysler and was told my file is with the dealer and they should be contacting me to arrange an "exit strategy" .my husband was present when the service manager called the regional manager via cell and overheard the regional manager state he knows nothing of the problem. He was then reminded that he inspected the vehicle in person on 11/17/06. The regional mangers comment was then "oh, that car, it's still there"? he then proceeded to say "this is just a case of buyers remorse, they are just trying to get out of the vehicle". I am still waiting on a response from someone.
-the contact statedvehicle hasda rough idle condition.while at a drive-through, vehicle almost hit the vehicle in front while trying to compensate for the idle.the contact stated that he broughtvehicle to the dealership about five times, and, they stated theycould notfind anything wrong with the vehicle.the contact has been experiencing this failure since he bought the vehicle.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee has been stalling when at slow speeds. When i come to the end of my driveway, when i stop at a red light, in parking lots and slowing down on the highways the truck begins slowing down and shuts down completely.when i put it in park and restart it has been starting back up.i researched on the internet and saw there were recalls for jeeps stalling, however when i called the dealership, bradshaw jeep in oakville ct and i was told that my jeep was not included in the recall and i would need to pay for anything they would need to work on in the truckif grand cherokees were recalled for stalling and i'm now calling to say mine is stalling, it is odd to me that they respond my jeep is not part of the same problem/recall. It's doing the same thing.in the past week alone my truck has stalled three times, monday while i was coming towards a traffic light slowing down to turn, last night pulling into my driveway and this morning stopping at a main intersection during rush hour traffic, the truck behind me almost drove into me, we were lucky it went to the side of the road.we are afraid to drive the jeep at this point.

Sometimes when i drive the engine feels like it stalls out and my rpm's don't move, all the boxes around prnd light up and the check engine light comes on. I have to pull over and put the car in park or sometimes i have to turn it off. Once this is done the car continues to drive like nothing happened but the check engine light will stay on for a day. Sometimes it happens on the highway which is very scary to just drop speed down to 40. I have read many blogs about this issue. It happens at random times.
The jeep grand cherokee ( 2005 ) with the 4.7 v8 will stall intermittantly. It is very dangerous to lose all power brakes etc when stopping. I have 2 small children and am scared to have them in the vehicle.accident almost caused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While driving 2005 jeep grand cheeroke laredo there was a fire in the engine.
2005 jeep grand cherokee has engine failure when there is a rapid decline in engine rpm.most often when getting off of the freeway and coasting to an intersection, or when making a turn in an intersection and lifting off the gas pedal.engine dies and the vehicle shuts down causing a loss in power steering and all power.this causes vehicle to not be under control and veer into undesired lanes, curbs, and various locations due to having sudden loss of power steering and engine power.
I have numerous problems with the engine light coming on. This has been going on for some months now. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership for this problem at least three different times. My engine comes on and stays on for days at a time. The dealership was unable to diagnose the problem. Than for last few months, while i am driving all the gears on my dashboard light up and wont allow me to give the car any gas, and makes a sound like the engine is reving up. This can happen two to five times a day. Now, when i put the car from park to reverse it is a making a long banging noise and jerking the car.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While driving approximately 35 mph on normal road conditions; the vehicle stalled without warning . The driver was able to coast into the emergency lane.

The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 56,000. The vin was unavailable.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee started acting up about a year after i purchased it and has progressively gotten worse and worse. It has problems shifting and identifying what gear it is in on a daily basis, for example when i put it in drive from park prnd will all be illuminated like it doesn't know what gear it is in and it will make a loud thud sound. Then when you drive it won't shift from first gear and will rev up or it will get stuck in 3rd gear and won't down shift. Sometimes it will be driving normal and when i stop at a stop sign and then go to pull out into traffic it will stall right in the middle of traffic and i can't get it to snap out of it! it will also decide that it doesn't know what gear it is in while i am driving on the expressway and will start to rev up and freeze on me. This is very unsettling and dangerous and could defiantly cause a serious accident. From what i have read in other reviews many people have this same problem with their 2005 jeep grand cherokee so it doesn't seem like just a coincidence to me and something should be done. I have taken it to different mechanics and no one can give me an answer as to whats wrong or how to fix it.
I have had my vehicle shut off multiple times while driving.in the past four months, it has happened three times.

I have a 2005 grand cherokee laredo under 3000 miles. My engine light has come on less than 10 times ,and my car has stalledwhen come to stop light or complete stop about 5 times. I have made 5 trips to the dealer and the first few times they could not find anything wrong with it. Then they determined it was related to the remote start which they had installed. I got it back and they said it was fixed and it stalled out when i pulled into my driveway that very day. Engine light came on again exactly 1 week later. Engine light is still on now. This will be my 7th trip to the dealer for this problem. I would also like to say that i have also hit the key in the ignition twice which made the car shut off and my car has also revved up with the brake on just as the other complaints on this site. I am also only getting 12 miles per gallon!
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the contact noticed a massive hesitation with his vehicle.the vehicle would not start and the dealer was notified.the vehicle was towed to a repair shop and a new starter was installed.after the repair was performed, the check engine indicator illuminated.he went through a drive-thru car wash and noticed that the vehicle began to hesitate.when he placed extra pressure on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would stutter and then finally catch and increase in speed.the dealer performed a tune-up, but the failure persisted.the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but they could not pinpoint the cause of the failure.the manufacturer has not been notified.the current mileage was 57,802 and failure mileage was approximately 57,400. Updated 03-04-09 the consumer stated a code for the o2 sensor heater was being displayed. The engine light is still on.updated 03/04/09
This is the second complaint i have filed concerning this problem.this is a continual issue that, if left uncorrected, will eventually cause an accident.my 2005 jeep grand cherokee (4.7l at) stalls or nearly stalls while coming to a stop, or accelerating from a stop.the last reported incident occurred while approaching a stoplight.since that initial complaint, i have spent 19 hours over 3 visits to the dealer trying to identify the problem.after replacing a solenoid in the throttle assembly, the condition seemed to improve, but has since regressed to pre-repair status.i have received no feedback concerning my original complaint from nhtsa, nor have i been notified by daimler-chrysler of any developments in correcting this problem.relying on dc's initiative to determine the cause and necessary repair for this issue seems irresponsible since they haven't done so in the two years that my model has been on the street.also, if it were not for the personal initiative of the mechanic that replaced the solenoid, i wouldn't have received any help with my problem.the dealer position was that there was no computer registered event, so therefore, the stalling had not occurred.when they could personally observe the event, and capture it in the vehicle computer, they would investigate further to see if any repair was warranted. The survey below asks about property damage, deaths, and fires.do i need to actually have one of these events occur to my family to flag my complaint for appropriate action?knowing a vehicle stalls while braking and accelerating at highway speeds and not aggressively determining the cause until a fatal accident occurs seems irresponsible.hopefully, i do not hear about this inevitable recall the same way my firestone patron pal did.(from the tow truck operator, post-accident).please contact me with the status of this problem as well as instructions of how to get my vehicle repaired correctly.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and the car started to stall sporadically. At first it just started when i stopped at the lamp posts or stop signs, after it started to stall sporadically anytime. I looked up on the internet and found that jeep already recalled several grand cherokees because of the front control module issue. I called jeep line and they told me that i should take it to the service as it could be a recall issue. I took my jeep to the service (john hoffer, topeka, ks) on 2/22/2010 when they changed some pump and they said it is fixed; it was not and the car died on me 3 times, i took back the car to the service and they told called me that i have a front control module issue and we need to change it. I called jeep right away gave them my vin and they told me that yes it was a recall issue about this module, but they are sorry my vehicle is not in the recalled ones and i have to pay the 1200 usd to change the module. My questions: who is responsible this safety issue as the vehicle could stop in the middle of the highway? if jeep recalled several thousands of vehicles about the same issue how could they say that it i not their problem?
The vehicle stalled on its own while driving.driver was unable to restart vehicle. Driver had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection, but mechanic could not duplicate the problem.
During stop-and-go driving, slowing to a stop, stopped at red light or stop sign, my 2005 jeep grand cherokee w/4.7l v8 stalls out, engine dies.i put my hazard flashers on and place the gear shift to park.restart the car and it starts up right away. Check engine light is not on.mechanics cannot find problem.no reading on the code reader (dtc).this happens every day, several times a day for the past month.this is a serious problem that i understand many jeep owners are experiencing like me.please help us resolve this problem.thank you.
I was driving down an interstate when my car totally shut down.had i not been in the right lane so that i could coast off the highway, the incident surely would have ended tragically.this has happened once before, but not in such a dangerous setting.i have a recall notice for this very problem,( p41) but the notice says that chrysler does not have the part needed to correct the problem.the recall notice states that if i do not feel safe, i should take the car to my dealer, have him repair it at my expense, and you will reimburse me.how can the dealer repair the car if the chrysler corporation says the part is not available?if the dealer is able to repair it, why should i have to pay since there is a recall?this is not logical to me.in the meantime, we feel very uneasy driving the car.we narrowly escaped one potentially fatal accident.the dealer refuses to give us a loaner car to use until the replacement part is available.we are quite frustrated.can you give us any indication when the needed part will be available?can you authorize the dealer to repair the problem at your expense?we have always been pleased with our jeep purchases, but this nonchalant attitude toward a very dangerous problem has really disappointed us.we look forward to hearing from you and hope for an amicable resolution to the problem.
My vehicle just stalled while driving - no reason for stalling.power windows, locks, and navigation still worked fine.car restarted once i turned the key...
Dt*:the contact stated while stopped at a stop sign, the engine revved and made a loud roaring noise.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection.a diagnostic test was performed, but did not detect any failure codes.the service department was unable to duplicate the problem.updated 4/11/2006 -
When turning the ignition key to the start position, you hear 1 "click" but the vehicle does not start.this is an intermittent event that seems to come and go every few months.when it happens, i have to leave the key in the on position for about 1 - 2 minutes, then attempt to start the engine again.i had previously had my vehicle serviced at the dealership for this problem, but since it is so random, the service personnel could not recreate the event.i even advised them that other owners, registering this same complaint, pointed to corroded solenoid wires as being the culprit.however, the service department had me purchase a new battery last year.this did not fix the condition which continues periodically to this very day.unfortunately, the car has been unable to start at a few times when the surroundings were less than totally safe.i have viewed a number of consumer forums, such as http://autoforum.classifieds1000.com/jeep-grand_cherokee/2005_jeep_gc_not_starting?pg=10.all of these owners have the exact issue but each time, when presented with the details of the occurrences, dealerships disavow all knowledge that this condition exists.many consumers are being told by the dealerships that no other owners have complained about this.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee, purchased may 12, has encountered numerous problems with power.the car shuts off while driving in any condition, and has done so at least 10 times.my concern is that somebody behind me will plow into me when my car shuts off on a highway, which almost happened last week.the dealership does not know how to correct this problem, and i would like to formally file a complaint.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.while driving between 50-60 mph, the vehicle shut off and would not restart.the vehicle had to be towed to the dealer and they stated that the cam sensor needed to be replaced.the failure has occurred intermittently ever since the vehicle was purchased.the purchase date was unknown.the current mileage was 53,000 and failure mileage was 100.

My 2005 jeep grand cherokee caught fire in the engine area and was destroyed..i was traveling to nycfrom vermont on 2/20/08...fire took place in newtown ct........
Since 4/24/07, my2005 jeep grand cherokee will intermittently fail to start. This typically has happened after driving it throughout the day without incident. (only once did it happen early in the morning after sitting all night.) for the first two failures, jumping the battery was successful. The third incident, where the jump didn't work, led tothe battery being replaced, although the old battery was never diagnosed as faulty. When the car failed to start with the new battery,the keys were re-coded by a jeep dealer. It then failed to start with the newly coded keys. The ignition was eliminated as a problem, and the starter was replaced (with an after-market product). When the car failed to start again, the starter was replaced a second time (with a chrysler part) and the ignition once again was diagnosed as working. After the next failure to start, a temperature sensor in the transmission was replaced. When the car again failed to start, i was told the newly replaced temperature sensor was faulty, it was being replaced, and the car would be ready the next day. Now, three days after being told the car would be ready,i'm told that no one knows what the problem is, although thediagnostics now indicate there is a problem. I was told by the current jeep dealer servicing itthat no one could be consulted at chrysler until the problem could be replicated. (although it is a timely process, the problem has been replicated while in repair.) it is now august 3, 2007, andfor the last 102 days my grand cherokee has been in and out of repair for weeks at a time.when i have had access to it, i have not been able to drive it with any confidence. The dealer (not a jeep dealer) where ipurchased this car has been loaning me vehicles and they have been exceptional in their concern, despite anyone's ability to resolve this. Their daily attention my faulty vehicle is the only reason, as a first-time jeep grand cherokee owner, that i have been able to stay on the road today.
When slowing down approaching a hard stop, my 2005 jeep grand cherokee ltd shuts off.this happens about once every six weeks.the dealer cannot figure out why it does this.i've narrowly avoided going over a hill, drifting back into cars behind me while stopping up a hill, and almost causing an accident in rush hour traffic.the dealer said unless the computer registers a code, there is no way they can fix.they refuse to send this up to the district manager for referral to chyrsler hq.i see on the internet there are numerous models encountering this issue.
2005 jeep grand cherokee 4.7 limited. Purchased car ... 2nd owner... With 21k on the odometer. Car constantly stalled... I had one spell where just about everytime i stopped the car stalled. How dangerous and crazy is this? i brought the car under warranty and jeep kept trying to fix it. 2 weeks later issue would be back. After 5 dealer visits now the car has only stalled twice in thelast 3k miles. Still its ridiculous. Daimler chrylser needs to step up and figure this out now b4 more people get hurt.
The air conditioning was only working on the driver's side of the vehicle only. The passenger side and the rear vents blow out warm air. The event started occurring on november 20, 2008 and is still not working properly.the vehicle is currently being repaired at a jeep dealership and is going to cost approx. $1,200.00 dollars. Apparently there is a problem with the vent doors and they need to replace the entire unit. The heat most likely will not work properly due to the doors not sealing properly.
Transmission: i have a 05 jeep cherokee that has continuously had a transmission shudder problem.while driving, the transmission shudders, feels sluggish, jerking the vehicle forward and backward. It happens while traveling at various speeds, but it is excessive while at the 40 mph & 1500 rpm range.the first time it was taken to the dealership, they did a transmission flush and told me to pick it up. The second time, they ordered, then later replaced the drive line. The third time to dealership, the service technician said they reprogrammed the transmission. It has now been dropped off for the same problem 4 times, and still no remedy. I called the dealership again and told them about a possible recall i read about on the nhtsa website on the problem i was having. The public information specifically suggests a remedy, replace the torque converter (which has not been tried on my vehicle). I asked them why they couldn't use that information to fix my vehicle since it is still under warranty rather than wait to see if a recall is even issued, and i was told that the engineers are working on a remedy for the possible recall i was reading about, and it may not affect my vehicle. So, until that recall is issued, nothing can be done. Air conditioner:on 9/22/05, while vehicle in motion, air conditioner, radio, &all dash lights went off at same time, stayed off for 5 seconds or so, then came back on.5 miles or so later, the same thing happened again. Later on the same day, the air conditioner would only work on the highest setting. On my way to the service appointment the next day, the air conditioner would come on and turn off itself, like it has an electrical short in it or the dash.i can also smell plastic burning/melting but can not locate where it is coming from. Dealership now states that parts are not available to fix the air conditioner, and they do not have any timeline for parts availability. No clue why the dash lights shut down.
Dt:consumer owneda 2005, jeep , grand cherokee laredo.the air condition had a part that needed to be replaced on 7-18-05.and later on 7-20-05 the blower fanand heater would only work on the highest setting.a part melted, and there were too many amps being driven to the resister. They had to the replace blower motor, relay, resister, and a wire harness.

Engine occasionally stalls when braking.i originally only noticed it when parking after 30-50 minutes of driving.on 28 jan 07, jeep stalled on 31w while approaching a stop light.there was a chime, a red light in upper right of dash started to blink, and the message center stated programming active. After about 30 seconds, there was another chime, the message went out, and i could restart the vehicle.the vehicle has stalled several times since then, all while braking.

The failure mileage was 54000 and the current mileage was 55000.
I own a 2005 4.7 liter v8 grand cherokee.since my purchase (two years ago), the engine has idled rough almost the entire time and completely shut off while driving about 8 times.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo, 3.7l engine, automatic transmission. When driving, the vehicle will just shut off as if the key was turned off, losing all power. The vehicle will start afterwards and the check engine light will stay on for a few hours this has been going on for a couple years. This problem is similar to the recall on the 2008 grand cherokee stalling and i think this problem is more wide spread than chrysler wants to admit. I have an appointment with a jeep dealer who recently relocated in my area next week.

I purchased a 2005 jeep grand cherokee in january 2005.on august 25, 2006, i took the vehicle to normandin chrysler jeep because the check engine light had come on and the car was lurching, making noise and kept sliding into third gear.the car was returned to me after three plus weeks and the first time i drove it, my passenger and i were almost involved in an accident because the car died.the car was immediately returned to the dealership where it has been for over two weeks awaiting a "new" transmission.the car has been in the dealership for a total of 36 of the last 38 days.the car is still at the dealership.
I purchased a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited w/ a 4.7l v8 engine in early 2005 from hunter chrysler in charlotte, nc , now owned by metrolina chrysler, south blvd, charlotte,nc. Since the vehicle was brand new it stalled on numerous occasions - sometimes when iwas at a stop, and other times when the vehicle was at rated speeds! itook it to the dealer at least 5-6 times for thisproblem, andthey have finally admitted that chrysler was aware of the problemson this engine, but no onecouldoffer asolution.i have talked to several chrysler representatives, whowere always very courteous, but no one has offereda solution. The last chrsyler representative said the only thing he could do was torecommend to me to trade the vehicle in. When i explained that i would take a losson the trade-in value , less than two years old but 48000 miles he suggested that a chrysler district manager would be in contact and could maybe help soften the financial blow. It has been two weeks and i haveheard nothing. Meanwhile the vehicle kept stalling and i wasafraid that i willget intoan accident and get hurt or worse. My wife will no longer drive the vehicle. Please help.
Vehicle experiences a shuddering, hesitation or bucking motion when driving around town 20-30 mph and also on the highway.taken to blevins brothers in ogdensburg, ny and had e13 recall completed.problem continued.e-mailed chrysler customer relations about problem and told the info i was requesting was "either proprietary or unavailable".also made a phone call to chrysler customer relations and had them note additional complaint regarding problem.blevins brothers service manager arranged for vehicle to be taken by a technician to a daimler chrysler school for evaluation by course instructor.he agreed there was a problem and suggested replacement of torque converter as water may have damaged unit prior to e13 recall completion. Torque converter was replaced.problem continued and became worse due to fall and winter temperature drop.was advised by blevins brothers to call chrysler customer relations and have them open a claim on the vehicle.chrysler refused to open cair claim and told me i should contact dealer. They also told me there was a booklet in the glove compartment i should read.the booklet referred to provided info about state lemon laws.dealer said chrysler has told them this is a characteristic of the vehicle and there is no fix for it nor is any planned. A chrylser engineer (gary vleck) says they haven't had any other complaints.he refused to come to the dealership to drive the vehicle. I feel this a flaw in the mds (multi-displacement system) that regulates whether there are 8 or 4 cylinders in operation.i also feel chrysler is trying to stonewall the problem by telling customers that this is how their vehicle is supposed to operate. They are hoping customers will not take it any further and give up.this mds engine is also present in magnums, chargers, 300s, durangos, commanders and 06 rams.it would be interesting to see if this problems exists with these vehicles.
2005 jeep grand cherokee purchased brand new - vehicle stalled while driving down the road.(i was in the process of slowing down for a red light).had no control of vehicle on december 13, 2006.vehicle stalled again after making right hand turn into a parking lot.loss of power on december 29, 2006.car restarts after turning key off and then back on.called dealer.said they had never heard of this before.took car into dealer.they put it on the machine to see if the computer recorded any codes.it didn't and they couldn't find anything wrong with it.was told to bring it back if it happens again and would have to leave vehicle at dealer.
I have taken my 2005 jeep grand cherokee into the dealership 3 times for rough idle and stalling issues.they informed my that it was the spark plugs and needed a throttle body cleaning.so i paid to have those things done.then, 2 days after the service was performed, i was driving and my vehicle shut off.i was in the middle of traffic and lost ability to steer and brake.luckily i was able to safely move on the shoulderand avoid a collision.i have done quite a bit of research online about this problem, and there are many people who have the same problem with their 4.7 gc and commanders.
Repeated accident's of my vehicle going from idle (1000 rpm) to 1500-2000 rpm while vehicle stopped and in gear. Requires significant effort to prevent vehicle from surging ahead. Has occurred when vehicle is entering street from driveway, at a pedestrian crosswalk and at a traffic light. Local dealer placed monitor incar and it recorded four instances in a month. Damiler-chrysler engineering claims no vehicle problem, driver is supposedly stepping on both accelerator and brake. This is not correct, both driver in our family have experienced problem. Car is unsafe.
Oil changed routinely around 3000 miles.cold morning -3 fahrenheit.let car warm up for 5-10 minutes.drove 5 miles to work.when stopped at a light on the way to work i could smell hot oil.i thought it was the car in front of me.after i parked in the car i noticed a large amount of smoke coming from my hood.i immediately popped the hood to see what was going on.there were approximately 3 inch tall flames on the exhaust manifold for about 6 inches along the manifold.since the engine was off the flames died out and did not ignite the car.the valve cover gasket had failed and was leaking oil out on the exhaust manifold.dealer thought the pcv valve might have had moisture in it and froze.this caused excess pressure to build and popped the valve cover gasket the weakest point.dealer replaced valve cover, valve cover gasket, and pcv valve.failure again:exactly 2 weeks after the first failure.same scenario, it was 3 degrees this time and i let the car warm up for less than a minute.this time though there was no fire.dealer tore deeper into the engine and found the oil had sludged up.i had just changed my oil a month ago and 1000 miles previous.the sludge caused moisture to be trapped in the pcv valve and freeze.the sludge also was found in every component the oil lubricates.when i asked the dealer what i can do to prevent this from happening again they told me to change my oil as recommended.i already do that.they suggested that since i first saw this failure at 35000 miles, i should have my engine torn apart every 35000 miles to have the sludge removed.they told me they have seen the sludging problem before and chrysler is aware of it.chrysler will not cover the sludge clean up once it is out of warranty at 36000 miles.

Car shuts off randomly while driving.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 75 mph the vehicle completely shut off and the headlights went out without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after the vehicle came to a stop. The dealer recommended cleaning the throttle body and the fuel injectors.however, they were unsure if that wasthe reason for the stalling. The current and failure mileage were 40,500. The dealer was unable to identify problems because codes did not register after vehicle shut off. Update 4/23/07

My jeep grand cherokee stalls. No rhyme no reason to it. Usually low speedbut not exclusive. It has the 4.7 liter engine, this is dangerous as there is no warning. Dealer has no solution to this as no codes are set.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee keeps stalling while driving!the dealerships do not seem to know how to fix it.it has happened 5 times in the past 6 months.there is no steering when this happens and cars behind me had to slam on brakes to avoid hitting me!if you search the jeep blogs, you will see this is happening to everyone!please help.this is not safe and is putting my life and my child's life in danger.

2005 jeep laredo exhibits apparent engine skipping, thrashing, etc when traveling at approx 1200-1500 rpm up a grade (engine under light load).dealer and manufacturer say that this is a performance characteristic of the vehicle.service manager of mckinney dodge in easley sc (tony) says that "every one of them do this, new or with a few miles - worse after a few miles".service manager indicates that he has no clue how to fix the problem, asked me to call national number (probably trying to get me off the lot).called national number, they called local dealer (tony) and were told that the problem could not be fixed, therefore denying that it was a problem at all.national chrysler folks said it was an operating characteristic of the vehicle and that nothing could/would be done "at this time".i put "500" under "number of failures" in the form below just because i had to put some number.it happens every time the car is driven.

Since i purchased the car in january i have had about a dozen incidents where upon fully depressing the brake the gas pedal was also pressed accelerating the car.the most frieghtening time was on the 12th. Where the car shot out into traffic and i had to swerve to avoid an accident.it is more likely to happen when wearing more bulky shoes.it is obvious that the brake and gas pedal are improperly located with respect to each other.i have driven many cars over my lifetime and this is the only car that has presented this problem.i intend to bring this problem to the attention of the dealer as well as chrysler.i have researched several other similar complaints.
Blender door on heat/air broken after only 50,000...
The area right above all 4 door handles are cracked and ready to come off the door. Which would leave me with no way to exit my car.
The two back inside door handles are cracked and broken. The rear passenger side door cannot be opened from the inside. The passenger side door handle is also cracked and its a matter of time before all doors cannot be opened from the inside.
Both the front & rear cheap plastic interior door handles have fallen out and broken into pieces... Thanks jeep!
Both of the backseat passenger interior door handles are completely broken off. The driverinterior door handle is broken off. This is a safety hazard because god forbid an accident occurs there's no way to open the door from the inside. The only way to open the doors is to physically roll down the window and open the door from the outside.

***several problems with 2005 jeep cherokee laredo 3.7***just after purchasing this vehicle in feb 2006 dealer had to replace the air conditioner because it would only work at one speed. After that the transfer case and shifter had to be replaced, next the windshield began to leak molding the carpets, next the steering wheel began making loud clicking noise when making deep turns, vehicle also has severe hesitation when going up hills, now my mechanic says there is transmission fluid all under the vehicle. Have also bumped my knee against the key resulting in stalling. Worst of all only getting 12-14 mpg!!!!!!have owned jeeps in the past, very unhappy with this one.
Dt:consumer owneda 2005, jeep , grand cherokee laredo.the air condition had a part that needed to be replaced on 7-18-05.and later on 7-20-05 the blower fanand heater would only work on the highest setting.a part melted, and there were too many amps being driven to the resister. They had to the replace blower motor, relay, resister, and a wire harness.
Purchased vehicle on 7-31-06.upon test drive the door locks would nt lock or unlock when using door key (any dr in the car).the remote did work.salesman told us 2 bring it in if it cont'd.taken in 5 times since the 1st time in october 05', dealerships cannot dupt the issue.last dealership said that if he toggled switch about 10 times it happened, but that was just "overheating the button & that is normal".problem is i work in a building w/a prkg garage & work all hrs.when i get into my car, 4 safety i lock the drs immed.there have been several occasions where i can't do that & have 2 wait 2 get the car moving over the 15mi an hour 2 lock the drs.next issue is the delayed engagement in the transmission going 2 rev or drv.the car has been in on 3 occasions for this item of which the dealership clears codes or cannot dupt the issue.this issue became a an issue in a construction zone at a rr track near our home.gates were down when i drove up & i was 3rd car back, the gates went up, 2 cars went through & i was almost at the tracks when the railroad arms started coming down again.i put on the brakes & shifted to reverse 2 back up & the delay nearly caused the rr arm 2 hit the car.i backed up just enough to clear the rr arm by less than 6 inches.the last item is the a/c.since late march of 06'we have been experiencing the a/c blowing cold, then the air turns 2 warm or hot air blowing from 3 sec 2 minutes of blowing humid air before the system will kick in again with cold air.this has been intermittently like the other 2 items above.3 times into the dealerships & again it was stated they fixed it when it wasn't or "it's 114 degrees out, it is going 2 blow warm air"."using outside air will make the a/c blow warm air'.the incident date is hard since there are 3 issues so i put the day of purchase.the failures are also hard to calculate, but since these items happen intermittently & or everyday (a/c) i counted 3 mo worth.

The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that within 2-3 days, the air conditioning unit failed completely. The contact consulted a local mechanic and a local dealer, whom both advised that a red dye would have to be added to the vehicle in order to determine if there was a leak somewhere within the unit. The entire process would take approximately two weeks. The dye was added to the vehicle however, the contact stated that the fumes were offensively strong and toxic, entering through the vents at all times whether the air conditioner was activated or not. The dealer advised the contact that the entire dashboard would have to be removed in order to replace the evaporator coil. The repair would take approximately eight hours for $1,800 at the owners expense. The contact stated that the instructions regarding adding freon to the vehicle advised of a possible explosion, which the contact believed was extremely dangerous.

My 2005 jeep grand cherokee needed a flat changed. The jack in the car was not able to jack the car high enough to get the flat wheel dismounted easily nor could the new wheel be mounted from the trunk. The dealer sent a shop mechanic who also could not get the jack high enough. I had to call aaa.i also know of 3 more jeeps (2-2005 and 1-2006) with the same potential problem. Oddly, one of them, which is owned by a lady friend, had the oddest problem. My brother-in-law was driving it one day. Turns out there was a wheel shimmy going on. He stopped the vehicle on the side of the highway. When he called me he indicated 3 lug bolts were missing which we both thought strange. He subsequently coaxed the car very slowly home. The dealer charged the lady for the repair and remounting of a new tire. I suspect that she had a flat, got some help and because the new wheel was not mounted in a true fashion because the car could not be raised high enough, she just had to make do. That was dangerous for the lady. As it turns out, my wife also has one of the jeeps i mentioned, and i have instructed her to just call aaa when and if she gets a flat, so the tire can be dismounted and remounted with the new one safely. All our cars have 17" wheels. The jack needs to go up at least 2-3 inches more to all for proper mounting or else the wobble will result and hence , ultimately the bolts will break off given the stress. I mentioned it to my dealer once i had aaa repair my car and asked the dealer to repair and get the problem fixed with the manufacturer. I also think the lady i mentioned who paid for her repairs because of jeep's equipment design defect should be reimbursed for her misery.
Dt*: the contact stated after towing the vehicle and driving it 20 miles at 50 mph, there was a intense smell of burning rubber surrounding the outside of the vehicle.the smell was coming from the center front of the vehicle near the firewall.the vehicle was taken to a service dealer on 3 separate occasions for the same issue, but the dealer was unable to determine the problem.the manufacturer was also notified, who the contact stated was very rude.the consumer stated the owners manual was incorrect on how to tow a vehicle.

While driving on a remote state road at night, the headlights of the jeep grand cherokee went suddenly out. This put me in the situation of driving 65mph completely in the dark. I was able to stop the car without hitting something just by pure luck. After stopping the light came back on and kept flickering the rest of the way.a short investigation on the internet showed that this seems to be not an unusual problem with 2005 jeep grand cherokees. A loosening contact of the light switch seems to be the problem and jeep doesn't seem to care about it.
While driving on the interstate the vehicle will lose all power for varying amounts of time. Engine will continue to run and vehicle drives but during this power loss all lights, cruise control, a/c, and instrument cluster are inoperable. Driving conditions have not changed and these symptoms have suddenly showed up.
Exterior headlights and interior dash lights flicker on and off speratically. This happens while driving, stopped and even when parked. I have to flick the light switch on and off to try to get lights to stay on. This is scary when driving at night and i'm sure it irritates the heck out of anyone who see's my lights flickering.
2005 jeep has been slipping into neutral since february 2013. It caused me to have an accident because i couldn't get out of the way of rear-oncoming traffic. No major damage was done thankfully!a few weeks later i experienced a rollaway. I went into the sitter to pick up my son. After about 5 minutes of being inside i my jeep roll across the street! i go running outside, opened the door and pulled up the emergency break...just missing an embankment!since the "neutral" thing started i have had several service lights come on. My mechanic performed a diagnostic check and he said its all electrical.also, i've had issues with the front passenger window going up/down slower than the rest of the windows since 3 months into purchase. Other issues are cracked door handles (both front doors), replacing taillight kit, ac switch-a few times as it would only work on high.

Takata recall.headlights randomly flicker or shut off while driving on highway
Headlights begin flickering without any warning and then go out entirely.next day, headlights work again.this has happened on three separate occasions and is potentially a fatal problem since driver is suddenly driving in complete darkness..my car is meticulously maintained at local 5 star jeep dealer.we brought the car to this same jeep dealer on two separate occasions to diagnose (each time for five days and mechanic drove car over 100 miles home at night) and no problem can be found.after conducting a google search, there are about 12 similar complaints from other owners of 2005 jeep grand cherokees.chrysler's position and the dealer's position is that if they can't find the problem, they can't fix the problem.that is not good enough.they should have issued a voluntary recall.nhtsa should now require a mandatory recall of all 2005 jeep grand cherokees.at a minimum, the likely components, e.g. Headlight switch, control units and/or wiring harnesses should proactively be replaced.
My vehicle was driving fine, then all of the sudden i lost all lights, all ignition, a/c everything except the engine. I lost speedometer airbags. The car acted like it was shut off but the engine was still going. My ignition has had problems since august 2014 and i have been calling my dealer every week to find out about parts. The parts have taken longer than a reasonable time to become available. My car now lights up (every check engine, traction control, seatbelt, oil, airbag, every light on the dash) at least 3 times in a half hour period. Was told by the dealer it was due to a faulty ignition. My car will not pass california smog with the check engine light coming on multiple times in my trip anywhere. I was told september 11th they would have the parts available. Then it was moved to october 11th. Chrysler needs to focus more on their customers safety and reliability of their vehicle. It should not take over a year to replace ignition.
Exterior headlights and interior dash lights flicker on and off speratically. This happens while driving, stopped and even when parked. I have to toggle the light switch on and off to try and stop the flicker or even to get the lights to come back on because sometimes the lights stay off even when the switch is in the on position. This is extremely scary when driving at night and i'm sure it irritates the heck out of anyone who see's my lights flickering. They think i'm signaling them for some reason. Really need a fix for this asap.hope daimler/chrsler isn't waiting for death/accident toll before they fix this issue. I have already had the ignition switch replaced per the recent recall and the problem with the lights persists.

I was driving the 2005 grand cherokee that we puchased and on the second day after purchasing the car at 80,000 miles the interior and exterior lights started flickering on and off and all the emergency light would come on. We took the vehicle back to the dealer we purchased from told them about the problem, so they ran a diagnostic on it and drove it and could find nothing wrong. Now recently the problem started to worsen as my wife drives the car at night with our 3 year old daughter in the vehicle the light are flickering on and off then completely going blank and not coming back on. This is very unsafe and dangerous to have a vehicle that the headlights go off when needed especially driving down the dark roads of texas. Something absolutely needs to be done immediately about this problem, everytime i take the vehicle to shop cant ever find anything wrong. This issue is putting my family and other family's at danger. We depend on our vehicle to be reliable and safe. I thought i was the only one experiencing this problem and that it was an electrical problem but it is obviously a defect on these 2005 vehicles. My vehicle is now at 90,000 miles and the issues have got worse. Chrysler needs to do something about this immediately before is results in a fatality.
While driving my 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo tonight the exterior and interior lights flickered on and off.the problem continued after turning the lights off and on.
Dashboard lights keep flickering, the whole dashboard turn on and off and headlights and interior lights flicker and while driving vehicle turned off completely.
I was pulling into my driveway and the vehicle shut off and the brakes would not stop and my car ran into my pump house.

My jeep has been experiencing loss of power and restarting while driving down rt 80. Almost got myselfand my pregnant girlfriendkilled when it just off and restarted, i called the dealer right away and they couldn't do anything due to lack of part, we only have one car and they would not grant me a loaner, this is very unsafe, the lights on the dash all flickered then car shut down and restarted instantly and i'm sure it's causing other damage to the vehicle. I took all the key chains off an it has helped, but it's been doing it a lot more lately and it's very unsafe, when will a partbecome viable ?! this is redicoulus and clearly chrysler doesn't care about your saftey!
While driving all the instrument / gagelights came on then went off several times, while this was going on the vehicle speedometer and tachometer went to zero stayed for a few seconds , long enough for me to pull to the side of the road, then resumed operating. Not sure if direction lighting was responding on exterior of vehicleat the time. Or head lights, as it was daytime. I had difficulty getting people to acknowledge as it's generally a very busy road traveled. Meridian rd puyallup wa.
While driving on the freeway at night my headlights started blinking on and off at a very fast pace. I could not get them to stop blinking. I was able to put my bright lights on and it stopped. This has happed many times over the past month. The cars in front of me think i am trying to make them pull over and let me by. This week my headlights came on during the daytime and they were in the off position. I never had them on. I am afraid to drive at night with this condition. My headlights come on when i use my key remote to unlock my doors. It is not set to do this and we can not get it to stop. When i turn the car off and back on again this will reset the headlights from blinking but they always start again while i am driving.i can not find anybody that knows what the problem is.
The first incident took place approximately on the above date. As my daughter, friends and i were pulling onto the road, i bumped the key with my knee and the vehicle shut off completely. Everything went dead. I put it in neutral, turned the key, started it, and continued on. It has happened 3 times since then, twice with my daughter driving. We followed the recall posted by chrysler and removed everything from the key chain, moved the seat back, etc. (there is no fix offered for this). This past saturday night, 7/25/15, my 18 year old daughter was returning home from a friends house when she sneezed and as she was recovering and re-adjusting, she bumped the key and shut the car off. When this happens, everything is cut off. Lights, brakes, gauges, everything. Being dark, she could not see, could barely steer, brake, etc. And was basically "along for the ride". As she was in a left turn at the time, she pulled the wheel to the right to try and stay on the road and not go "beyond the turn" and crash. Because the brakes were not working, she was going too fast, managed to get the car going to the right but ended up in a slide. The car slid sideways and then backwards, sliding off the road to the right side and onto a driveway where the driver side front wheel caught the culvert under the driveway, flipping the jeep onto the drivers side where it remained as it slid backwards for about 10 feet, stopping in a residents yard. Thankfully, my daughter was able to climb up and out the passenger window, unharmed, go to a house and get help. Because there is not a "fix" for this problem (chrysler admits this on the recall notice), i am out a vehicle because of a defect they can not/will not fix. Because of the year model and mileage, i only carried liability insurance, so the damage to the vehicle will exceed the cost to repair. I feel chrysler owes me the replacement cost.

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. This present a very dangerous situation if traveling on a two lane rural road.
My 2005 grand cherokee has on several occasions turned itself off while driving down the road.the last time this happened was at night and raining and the windshield wipers, headlights and everything shut off for several seconds while driving down the road.because of this a tractor trailer pulled out in front of me with my children in the car and we were nearly killed.i had no lights, windshield wipers, the brakes and steering were very difficult etc.i took it to the dealer today and they stated that there is a recall for this however no fix for the issue at this time?!?!?!?!this is completely unacceptable as my vehicle is completely useless, it is not worth my families lives to take the chance of driving it.
High mounted center brake light, wiring malfunction,complete light goes out, but no warning on the dash because the vehicle thinks its still working, move the wires it works but then stops working, i've noticed it on other chrysler type products . Ex. Durango.
The front headlights and all interior electronics including lights, gauges, radio, etc. Shut off. This happens on initial startup at home and in city parking lots, also acted while the engine has been running in motion. The vehicle has to be turned off and back on repeatedly until lights and electronics begin functioning again.
While driving at night, my lights flicker on and off.i have brought it back to the dealers service center on numerous occasions only to be told nothing was wrong.in september of 2007, the service center diagnosed the issue with a "multifunction switch fault."it occurred many times after and i was told again that nothing could be found.i just brought it back this week and was told something else was at fault and has to be replaced.it is extremely dangerous and something terrible could happen to me or someone else.
While driving, the instrument panel will flicker on and off, the heater/cooler blower shuts down, cuts out. The speedometer and tachometer quit working as well.
Allof the dash lights up, flashes/flutter/flickers, radio shuts off, hvac system shuts off, but engine still runs.this only happens when the car is on, however it can happen while in motion or in park.. But i do not see a pattern beyond that (like when it rains or is humid). I have tried to make it happen by juggling my ignition because i know that is a thing, but that never initiates the problem.
The multi-function switch on my 2005 grand cherokee jeep flickers on and off at times. It causes my headlights on my vehicle to go out during night time driving. I initially took it to the dealership for diagnostic and repair jan 2008. The part was ordered but never came in. I took it again to chrysler jeep dealership for the same concern and have learned that the part needed to repair my vehicle is on a national back order. This is a necessary part for safe driving at night. How can it be on back order unless it was something defective to begin with?
All the electrical stuff on my car flashes on and off or will just go completely blank for awhile while i'm driving this includes speedometer and all my lights and windshield wipers which is very much needed to drive safely it appears that the car shuts off but it continues to runand i've done research and it is my ignition switch i saw that there was a recall on it already and i called and they told me they wouldn't fix it i'm not sure how all of this works so i'm writing you guys for help. When it had first happened i was going about 60 mph down the highway in the rain in washington state i feel very unsafe in this vehicle now i can't take the chance of being on the freeway and this happening again in the rain the speedometer wasn't so scary but when your windshield wipers go out while it's raining and you're driving on the highway it's pretty scary and very unsafe for everyone. The video i have is another day it still continues to happen it was too risky to try and take videos of it the first time. So i guess i can't upload videos on here the picture it looks like i could be parked but i do have a video that i can send in to you guys if you provide me with an email
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the instrumental panel, interior, and exterior lighting failed. The failures occurred intermittently. In addition, the vehicle stalled. The contact also mentioned that the interior passenger and both rear door handles fractured and detached. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the shifting cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The contact received nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000(electrical system) exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer stated that the parts would not be available until approximately september 2015. The manufacturer was made aware of the delay. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Numerous times when driving everything electrical will go out, the dash lights,headlights radio lights everything like the car is completely off. One time i hit the dash and everything came back on another time just to see i opened my driver door and everything came back on when i closed the door back everything went back off. It started as random but is now more and more often. It happens alway when i am driving.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that when driving, the instrument panel electrical gauges and the headlights failed. The contact stated that the failures were intermittent. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.the manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 105,000.
Flickering on dash board. Lights go off. No power. Dealer, normandin chrysler jeep dodge ram, refuses to do p41 safety recall due to unknown reason. I'm willing to pay what ever it costs.
When starting ignition, wipers activate. While driving, headlights and instrument panel flash intermittently. When starting ignition and while driving, air conditioner blower shuts down, cuts out intermittently and blower, when operative, only works on high. Sometimes switching to off and restarting or hitting a bump activates blower. At one time opening and closing the glove compartment activated blower but not any longer. Passenger air bag lights continuously.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. My right front directional stays on all the time. Even when key is off. I took the bulbs out so battery would not go dead. I am driving without the front right directional. Called dealer, they tell me the front control module is out of warranty, and if i buy one from ebay at $50 it may not work and has to be programmed at dealer. They are going to give me a discount price to repair of $603. I told them to order the part over a week ago, and today they told me it is on back order and they will call me when it comes in. Is this a common problem, and if so shouldn't they have a part some where to repair it? thank you for your help.
At random times while driving, while in park, and just after startup, all dashboard gauges, lights, and power goes out, headlights turn off, but the engine still runs. I cannot see what is in front of me at night, i cannot tell my speed, i cannot see my fuel level, etc. The outage lasts from 2-30 seconds before every single warning light will illuminate for a few seconds, or flicker on and off, and then return to normal.i replaced the ignition 2 years ago from a previous recall notice. This is extremely dangerous because i never know when it will happen, it could happen at night on a heavily trafficked street and i lose all power and lights!
The first incident01/13/2015 occurred while driving at 15 mph, all lights flickered, hvac system shut off, radio turned off, every light on dash flickered on and off. On 01/14/2015 when vehicle was started, the radio turned off and on continuously, each time the blower on heater stopped. Later in the day, vehicle was running while parked. All lights flickered off and on, radio turned off and on, and fuel monitor reading went to 7 miles left before needing fuel. Vehicle had a full tank of gas. I am terrified to drive this vehicle now. Losing electrical power while driving is a recipe for disaster.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While driving at night the interior and exterior lights would fail simultaneously. He would have to use the high beam headlight switch until the lights would come back on. No repairs were made. His vehicle identification number was excluded from recall campaign id number 09e012000 (exterior lighting). The failure mileage was 40,000. The current was 49,000.
2005 jeep grand cherokee. Seems to be there's electrical issue all the dash lights would turn on turn off happened while i was driving on the freeway and had to come to a stop it stalled out it happened when i started up the car and i turned it off andtook it to the shop two different times pretty much the same problem first time it has 68 codes reading off of it so they replace my battery the second time the lights will come on and go off and come on and then it wouldn't even go it was undriveable at that point so we took it to the shop and then a month later it's starting all over again i was driving down the road came to a stop light plied the brakes and then all of the sudden the gauges were going crazy. The idol was moving up and down the lights would come on and go off and it's all the lights not just air bag or anything like that it was all the lights. I read on the internet other people been having the same issue it's scary when somebody is explaining the same thing that's going on in your car. It is unknown at this time what this phantom problem is and it's highly dangerous. I also bought this jeepused and don'tknow it this was happening beforehand.*have a video but this site won'tupload it.
Intermittently, all lights flicker off and on.affected lights included external lights including headlamp, front & rear marker lights, lic plate illum; plus the internal lighting that included guages, dashboard panel lighting, etc.flickering headlights were serious distraction to motorists ahead of me and approaching, causing one other vehicle to go off the road.this jeep only has a little over 40k miles.after researching similar incidents online, owner ordered and replaced the turn signal multi-function switch assembly (mf switch), which cost $89.99 from advanced auto parts.after replacement of the mf switch, and reassembly of the steering column cover over the mf switch, then reconnecting the battery and a test drive, the problem appeared to be corrected.after over a month of driving subsequent to repair, the problem has not recurred.chrysler-jeep ought to be alerting customers of this common problem and replacing these defectiive mf switches to prevent incidents.since there are numerous complaints, the manufacturer could be culpable and liable.owners can do this repair themselves, but you need to get the right part for your options, as well as a couple of special screwdrivers that have the star type heads.
I was driving and turned on the left turn signal, it was flashing extremely fast and after i made the turn we noticed that some of the interior dash lights were out.later that night after stopping and restarting the ignition a couple times things seemed back to normal but then it happened again.this has been intermittent since then, but now i have also been informed that i have no brake lights.i checked the brake lamps and they are good and the fuses are good too.i had my mechanic check out the multi-function headlight switch as that seemed to be where the issue was originating and they told me that this is the problem and it needs to be replaced.this is a very serious failure that could have lead to a tragic accident.i feel that there should be an investigation into this and jeep should replace these switches.
A lot of owners of the jeep grand cherokee are experiencing the same problem with the dim head lights and trouble starting the car . The car simply won't start you have to crank it about 20 times . The car will sometimes turn off while driving in the road
2005 jeep grand cherokee 3.7l v6manual headlights flicker on and off when in the "on" position. Safety hazard when driving at night with no street lights. Head lights even flicker on and off when the switch is in the "off" position. No recalls are available for lights malfunctioning like this.
My lights both interior / exterior / gauges flicker on and off whenever the want to on their own. This is a serious problem driving at night
While driving the entire electrical system fails; lights start flashing, heat goes out, all system warning lights flash ( brakes, tire pressure, service 4 wheel drive system, check engine light comes on),i was able to continue to drive the car but the lights flashed continuously for approximately 15 miles.this has happened multiple times since i purchased the suvjune 2005.the dealership runs test by say they cannot find anything wrong.i have read on the internet that this is happening to many owners of the 2005 jeep grand cherokee and the dealers and mechanics at the dealership cannot find anything wrong. This is a dangerous situation as many people also loose power and the suv shift into low gear.i am afraid to drive my jeep now because the check engine light keeps coming on and off.i am going back to the dealership again for some more stupid "i did not find anything wrong" statements. Originally i was told it was because i had a remote starter so i has it disconnected and the problem still exists.
The headlights and dashboard lights turn on and off while driving.on occasion when attempting to start the car the vehicle was totally dead.i had to replace the starter, only 29,000 miles on the car and was advised half of the starter was defective.the problem still continues. Can only assume it is a wiring, electrical problem.the vehicle is a hazard as you never know when this will happen causing myself and other drivers to use caution around the vehicle.this vehicle is definitely defective and should not have left the factory floor.
While driving my 2005 jeep(with my 2 year old daughter in the back)on a friday evening my dashboard lightsand headlights went nuts. They flashed on and off for about 30 seconds and it was pitch black-i was going about 60mph. I decided to take it really slowly but keep on driving,i had issues earlier this year with some shifting module.i really get freaked out about this stuff when my daughters in the car but it was fine for the rest of the weekend .then monday comes. I was on the highway doing about70mph when it happened again. This time it was not my front lights but it was the dashboard again for about 2 minutes. I called chrysler because i have a power-terrain warranty i thought it my be covered. But i need to pay to have it diagnosed-not easy in december right before the holidays. The other problem is a "pop" or "lock" when i'm driving. It seems to be coming from the back. Almost like the brakes locking???and again have to pay to just have it diagnosed. What happen to the public calling and explaining the issue and the tech saying"oh i know what that is"or "yea sounds like your blank is loose" i just bought this not even 2 years ago and already dumped over $1000 for parts. It seems like a lot of others are having these issues. Diamler chrysler should recall these issues for safety purposes.
I stop the transmission start like slide and then 3 to four minutesa lot of smoke on my hood i stop open the hood it was oil everyware i was scare i think my charokee got flames so run to a house
The headlights and dashboard lights have started to flicker on and off. Numerous times the headlights and dashboard lights have completely turned off while driving or even while parked/
Headlights began to flicker on and off- unable to see pedestrian - did not hit pedestrian but almost did-have contacted chrysler and milton ruben where i purchased car- they say they have no parts to fix it even though i received a recall notice september 2015 that said i would receive another notice- i have not received anything else-it is dangerous driving especially at night and when it is raining- is there anything i can do to get this safety recall fixed?thank you

Let me start by saying that i do not own this vehicle buy was following one last evening. It was dark, i was traveling east on rt 55 near front royal, va. A new (04 / 05) jeep cherokee style vehicle was stopped making a left turn across traffic. The brake lights were plainly visable but i commented to myself that the driver should use turn signals when making this manuver, especially on the well traveled road. As i got closer to the stopped vehicle, to my surprise, the turn signals were on and working....problem is ...from 100 feet behind, the intensity of the brake lights over shadowed the operation of the turn sigal as they are both red and operate on seperate light fixtures.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that i purchased new. The turn signal switch is defective and continues to click and make noises everytime i turn my steering wheel. If you move the steering wheel in any direction the turn signal switch moves. I went to my local dealer where i purchased the vehicle and i am being told there are 785 of these switches on backorder and no date of resolution for this repair. I am worried that this switch will fail an cause some serious condition inside the steering column that won't allow me to safely operate the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that nhtsa campaign number: 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline , structure) had surpassed a reasonable time for repair. The dealer was contacted and advised that the part was not available for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Anytime i fill up my 2005 jeep grand cherokee with gas it doesn't shut off and over flows all over the place. It doesn't matter what gas station i fill up at it happens every single time. I have read many forums about this exact same problem and it does seem to be a recurrence with the jeep product. I have not corrected this problem as of yet because i feel it is a major issue with jeeps and should be recalled. This is dangerous and extremely inconvenient. A trip to the gas pump cost $45+ then carwash 5+ it's a pain just to get gas. You all should look into recalling the parts and making jeep fork over the money to fix this issues that is all over the internet so it's clearly a problem.
All interior door panels are cracked around the door handles.three out of four door handles have snapped off and the very last one is hanging on by a thread.the handles seem to be attached to the actual door panel which is comprised of hard plastic.the design of the door panel and the handle being attached is bad and a safety issue if you can't exit the vehicle if your car dies and you have no power to open the windows.additionally, if you need to force the doors open from the inside due to a wreck, car on fire, panicking etc., 9x's out of ten you don't have handles and any weight or pressure to remaining handles if any while cause them to just snap off.my car smells of gas constantly and the light comes on to tell me to check the gas cap.i eventually replaced the gas cap after checking it all of the time and now the car just smells of gas and my check engine light comes on sometimes.i've had the car checked by mechanics and the jeep dealer to no resolve.the constant gas smells give me bad headaches as well as concern when i'm driving.
Strong gas smell. On start up and continues while in motion. While having oil changes and other maintenance over the years, have complained and had technicians to check what could be causing the problem. Nothing has ever been found by techs. The problem still exists after years of having it looked at. I now have 75000. Miles on it. This is a concern and it is now out of warranty.

I have a 2005 grand cherokee laredo under 3000 miles. My engine light has come on less than 10 times ,and my car has stalledwhen come to stop light or complete stop about 5 times. I have made 5 trips to the dealer and the first few times they could not find anything wrong with it. Then they determined it was related to the remote start which they had installed. I got it back and they said it was fixed and it stalled out when i pulled into my driveway that very day. Engine light came on again exactly 1 week later. Engine light is still on now. This will be my 7th trip to the dealer for this problem. I would also like to say that i have also hit the key in the ignition twice which made the car shut off and my car has also revved up with the brake on just as the other complaints on this site. I am also only getting 12 miles per gallon!
I bought my gd cherokee used with 71k miles. I just had my first oil change before heading out on a camping trip for the weekend. On the return trip, i had just turned onto the highway (55 mph zone). I am 6'4" tall. The previous owner was shorter than me. The seat was in the wrong position (i now know). While switching from gas pedal to brake pedal, my knee hit the key in the ignition. The car turned off. I immediately reached for the key and turned the car back on. It lunged the way a manual transmission dose when the clutch is let out too quick. I moved my seat back away from the wheel. Now i drive it from farther back, which means i need to sit up straighter, which means my head hits the ceiling often. I have the limited edition and i love everything about it except the seat can't go down far enough for me to drive it comfortable without turning the car off which has got to be horrible for the car.
When backing into parking space the car took off like a rocket ship/full throttle (5.7 hemi) like it had a mind of it's own. The result was property damage (unknown amount) and car damage over $7600.00 not including car rental for 2 weeks. Chrysler sent inspector to body shop and their determination was they found nothing wrong and said the case is closed. A jeep/chrysler dealership replaced the throttle body january 31, 2014 under warranty.we know this was not driver error. It was the scariest 15 seconds of our lives and could have easily killed someone. Now we wonder when will it happen again? we would like to know, has there ever been an engine going to full throttle accident involving a 2005 jeep/chrysler product?
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 35 mph through an intersection on normal road conditions, the engine stalled and could not be restarted.there were no warning lights prior to the incident.the vehicle was towed to the dealership, who diagnosed a fuel pump and fuel injection pump failure, both were replaced.after this incident, the vehicle presented transmission problems.the contact noticed a loss of power while driving 65 mph on a highway.intermittently, the transmission made noise when shifted to second gear.the vehicle had been taken to the dealership 20 times, however no error codes identified the defect.in one of the incidents, the yellow malfunction light illuminated and the dealership identified the defect as the computer control module and the driver shaft, both were replaced, however the transmission problem persisted.the dealership determined the vehicle could not be repaired.the manufacturer was contacted who recommended to take the vehicle to a different dealership. The vehicle was not downshifting when going up hills and it would get stuck in second or third gear. The a/c and blower motor were inoperative, the dealer could not duplicate the consumers concern. The key became stuck in the ignition. All the dashboard lights were flashing, the cd player was broke. The brakes and rotors vibrated. The starter was replaced. The driveshaft and heater were replaced. The seats would not move back. The seat belts did not retract as they should. Updated 01/17/07. Updated
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 75 mph the vehicle completely shut off and the headlights went out without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after the vehicle came to a stop. The dealer recommended cleaning the throttle body and the fuel injectors.however, they were unsure if that wasthe reason for the stalling. The current and failure mileage were 40,500. The dealer was unable to identify problems because codes did not register after vehicle shut off. Update 4/23/07
The air bags light comes on and stays on, the fuel system light comes on and stays on. When checked by mechanic was told some sort of sensor. The speed control does what it wants it can go from 45mph to 20mph and the vehicle tries to cut itself off i have to immediately put it in neutral to prevent that from happening.
I went to get a new inspection sticker & received a rejection sticker it read "the obd fuel system monitor was disabled when an associated configuration register was inadvertently cleared prior to release."date of owner notification was november 18, 2005.i purchased this vehicle in 2013 and i have been having an emissions problem starting 4-5 months after i purchased it.i'm still having the problem today, and dealer refused to fix the problem.
All safety recalls and recalls have not been done

So i could just run in the store and come out and it won't start and i have to sit a hour or two and then it starts agine. It dose this after running to three places it will stall agine on me and won't start. I have brand new starter in it and battery. Had the alternator checked and its fine and also there was recall on ingintion switch and that got replaced but still having prombles with it starting.
While driving down the road, the rpm started floating and the jeep started hesitating like it was out of gas. It was happening every once in awhile, now it's constantly and it's getting horrible gas mileage. Here recently, the interior lights on the ac/heat part have went out and the time part on the radio started lighting up like a heater and is extremely hot but the radio still plays.

August 2018, i brought my vehicle back from austin texas to el paso. Before my engine light came on. Nyle maxwell jeep assessed an evaporative leak code. Dick poe jeep in el paso assessed and attempted repair twice. Dick poe dodge finally assessed a crack in the fuel tank. Chrysler paid for the repair.
Vehicle sputters after filling up with gas.lasts about 10 to 15 miles.
I just had my jeep inspected and was told that a manifold bolt was broken and would cause other issues if not fixed. Damage to manifold & gasket, etc.) they also said that this is a common issue with jeeps chryslers and doge engines.

There has been many occasions upwards of 13 or 14 times where my vehicle will not start.my battery has a full charge, i have fuel in the tank it just wont start.the only way around this to get my vehicle to start is to do a hard reset and unhook the battery cable for 30 seconds and hook it back up then and only then will it start.then it will start the next 15 or so times and then i have the same problem it wont start.same deal, battery is great, fuel in the tank, just wont start.
On at least 4 occasions, my jeep has randomly lost power such that the power steering, accelerator, and brake systems stopped working. Each time it has occurred, it was at a low rate of speed, so the danger of a catastrophic accident was low; however, one time it occurred when i was on a hill and i couldn't stop the jeep from rolling down hill. I had to coast through a stop sign and only came to rest because of a curb on the opposite side of the street. Luckily, no cars were coming in the opposite direction.
I am still waiting for chrysler to preform the p41 recall work on my car.chrysler was found criminally liable for this switch.the recall has been in place since july 2014.i get notices that the part is not available.so far three notices over the past year saying that they don't have a new switch available.really???it takes one year to design, manufacturer, and transport an ignition switch, does no one work in detroit.i have had the car not start because of the switch, and when i crank again it starts.i took to dealer for this problem in 2008. I was told that this was normal, the car's computer was re-setting so that i can start. Dealer has gone bankrupt since and closed.i am tired of excuses from chrysler.when will they do their job and fix this problem. I want this done because my family rides in this car everyday.i am also concerned about the gas tank, because car has been rear-ended three times.
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.
My car just stop one day i put in new stuff and it just won't crank anymore it's like it don't wanna get gas the system and computer in car don't work

Dealer refused to waive $100 powertrain warranty fee each time jeep brought back. Dealer insisted mopar parts have9,000 mi warranty/ i would pay for repair b/c i drove 10,000 mi since previous repair. Dealer refused to provide rental car despite 5-7 day s to repair. Recall states a loaner vehicle to be provided if scheduled repair would take >1+days. A local 5 star jeep/chrysler dealership refused to service jeep after their initial recall repair failed at 10,000 miles. I was told to take jeepback to dealership i leased it from. Dealership manager told me it was not his problem to fix & 5 star jeep name did not mean anything to him. Said he was not concerned about recall. Ibrought jeep to the leasing dealership- they refuted claims of a recall & told me to pay for all repairs & loaner car. It wasn't until 4th&5th time jeep was in for service that a loaner car was provided because i told dealer i was pursuing ohio lemon law. The last time i brought jeep in for service of this recall item, i was told to go on a drive with serviceman to verify problem. He told me it was torque converter & not to fix it b/c he didn't think there would be a fires from leak. I showed him nhtsa recall. He said i would pay for mopar parts b/c they were out of warranty @ 12,000 miles. I told him i had 10,000 miles since last service. He spoke to manager & they serviced jeep. Jeep is again shuddering/clunking.

N/a material used inside vehicle faulty.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that i purchased new. All of the plastic around the door handles has broken apart and now both of the rear doors cannot be opened from the inside. The front doors seem that they will be next to follow and the dealer says that the entire door panel must be replaced for an estimated cost of $485 each door. I find it very unsafe for my children to be in the back seat and not being able to bet out of the vehicle unless opened from the outside. The door handles should be addressed and i have read that there are many other reports of this happening. Please help, i love my jeep.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Door panels are broken such that door cannot be opened from inside.
Door panel handles cracked on all 4 doors,unable to exit the vehicle from the back.passengers are unable to open door.plastic cracked and finally gave way in the rear of vehicle,front doors are cracked and very close to giving way. Huge safety issue here. Defected materials, date indeterminable of issue based on defects.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. The handle on the rear passenger door broke from the door panel. This is a huge safety concern because a person sitting in the rear seat could not exit the vehicle. I was forced to replace the door panel because of this safety concern. The driver and passenger door panels are now cracked around the handles and it is only a matter of time before they break completely. I will then be forced to replace those door panels as well. I don't feel that i should have to pay for the replacement of these door panels because chrysler designed them poorly. Occupants in the vehicle should not be trapped inside the vehicle in the event of an emergency. Apparently, this is not an isolated incident. It has been a problem for numerous people that own this same vehicle. This should definitely be considered a recall and chrysler should be responsible!!!!!!
3 out of 4 inside door handles broken due to cheap plastic used. Unable to get out of jeep from the inside. If there was an accident, you could be trapped inside. Could cause death or injury. Dealership charging over $2000 out of pocket to fix when it was caused by faulty, brittle plastic. Unsafe to drive with my kids in the back seat.
I have a grand cherokee 2005, i purchase used less then 5 months ago. The passenger door open handle frame started to brake up to a point that broke the frame. Went to the dealer where i purchase the told me that i need to replace the entire door panel which cost me over 600 dollars. The vehicle has less then 60 thousand miles ... But since pass the 6 years it is not cover under the warranty. I am afraid to buy another door panel pay 600 dollars and break again. I would like to jeep to step up andhelp customers that like jeep cars and have problems like this ... After looking online i notice that i am not the only one. Please help!
Unsure of the specific incident date.the failure is the plastic molding around the inside door handle for 3 out of 4 doors.the plastic has broken, exposing the inside mechanics and allowing for the handled to extend further than necessary.this makes exit questionable as the door handle is only holding on to the latch without any place for leverage.in the event of an accident/emergency, if the door was to be involved it is possible the handle would suffer further damage and be unable to operate.there has been nothing done about replacing the part.it costs roughly $700 per door to repair.
2005 jeep grand cherokee- inside door handle/panels. In 5yrs the door handles are already cracking and falling into pieces. The plastic used surrounding the actual handle is cheap. Unreal to think now that this was ok'd. Eventually there is no more handles, resulting with people stuck inside the vehicle. What's next...the motor for the windows goes out and then your really stuck or dead now??? i mean come on. Chrysler make some new panels...fix your problem!
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited automobiles have cracking and crumbling plastic surrounding the door handles.in case of fire or crash, you would not be able to open the door to get out of a deadly situation, due to cracking and crumbling plastic that was used in the door panels and hold the door handle.in many cases 2 inch large holes are next to the door handles due to plastic failure, and in some cases the entire door handle is no longer connected to plastic and is inoperable.this appears to be the result of a bad mix of plastic compounds, and/or improper pressures/temperatues in injection molding, during the original door panel manufacturing. Chrysler has supplier recovery options to pay for this repair/replacement, but will not allow it unless excessive pressure is put upon them, instead pushing consumers to pay for the $2200.00 repair on their own.
Interior door handles broken due to cheap plastic. In case of an emergency is a safety risk. Dealer won't sell door handles but instead a entire panel for over 500 dollars and i have all 4 broken.

I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited hemi , it only had 26,000 miles on it. All four of the interior door panels have now broke where the door handle is attached. The drivers door panel has broke the worst and the door handle is not even attached to the panel anymore , which has become a safety concern. I have contacted my dealer and turned in a claim for customer complaints. After3 or 4 weeks they contacted me to say it is out of warranty. That is precisely why i called them and explained my situation. Surely they can do something to alleviate this situation , all four door panels is going to cost around $3,000 dollars. I have read numerous reports about this problem onseveral different sites on the internet. The whole interior panel is connected to where the door handle is situated. Meaning you have to replace the whole door panel. Please help, this is definitely a big defect and a costly one to us the consumer. Any help to this matter or a fix to this situation would be hugely appreciated.
My jeep grand cherokee 2005 door handle broke with less than normal use. Both front handle are broken. Even one of thebackdoor handle is broken and people rarely seat in the back. My car has only 37,900 miles.the jeep dealer wantsto charge $1000.00 per handle in puerto rico. This is not normal and in my opinion could leave to people being trap in the car in case of an accident.

My 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited has 68k miles and 2 out of the 4 interior door handles are broken. The other 2 that aren't broken are cracked and could possibly break anytime. I am fearful that in the event that something were to happen to the battery in the vehicle during an accident, my two children in the rear seats will not be able to get out. My vehicle is 6 years old but has very little miles on it and the handles shouldn't have broken so easily. There has been no abuse to the handles at all. There is no aftermarket repairs available for this vehicle that i can find and the only remedy is to purchase new door panels. Like everyone else in the usa, i don't have the money to replace something like that, that shouldn't have broken in the first place.
Interior door handles have broken. Rear passengers cannot exit vehicle. Soon the driver side door will completely fail.
Door panel just behind front door latches cracks and obstructs latch movement, thereby impeding door operation. Even after plastic fully cracks, latch sometimes "catches" on pieces. Could be hazardous if immediate exit of vehicle was necessary.

I have 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the problem is that 3 of the 4 inside door handles are broken.the plastic that holds the handle in place is very thin cheep plastic that cracks and breaks there are holes is some of them and on the driver door the latch is completely broken.this can very easily become a life threating issue if there was a fire and some one could not get out of the car.if you look on line you can find that is a very common problem with the 05 models.this is a youtube link that will show you a in detail the problem that i am talking about(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsfrz7cibky&feature=related) if you need to contact me to verify anything or have any questions.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Inside door handles to open the doors from the inside broke off.there is only one door handle left, the driver's side.i have already reported this to chrysler but they said i bought a used car 2005 jeep cherokee, as is. I bought the vehicle october 2008. The vehicle looked new, it only had 29,000 miles. The door handles broke along with the casing with no force what so ever.i told chysler that i have young grand children, that if an accident is to occur there is no way the children can get out of the vehicle. I live in brownsville, texas where the weather gets very hot in the summer.if ever one of my child gets in the vehicle and locks him/her self in, there is no way the child can get out.the temperatures in the summer sometimes reach 100 degrees. Right now, the driver has to get out first and open the door for everyone else.my wife, front passenger side, lowers the window first and opens the door from the outside.even my wife, if by chance i turn off the motor get off the vehicle and walk away, there is no way my wife can get out of the vehicle.she can not reach the drivers handle or crossover the shift gear to get accross to get out of the vehicle. The vehicle motor needs to be running in order for the window's motor to work to lowere the window. I am just letting you know, maybe there are other owners with the same problem.i was told by a mechanic at an auto dealer chevoletthat he saw a jeep just like mine with the same problem, the handles broken.i will be reporting this to my insurance allsate, for safety reasons in case an accident ever occurs. I read the article on the toyota recall, concerning farmers insurance where they have had a lot of complaints.

I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The inside rear door handle has broken inside the door panel. This requires replacement of the door panel. Now you can not exit the vehicle in case of an emergency.

The panel which is not even available from chrysler! chrysler should be forced to recall the vehicle and replace the inside panels before someone dies.
The interior door handles are breaking off as a result of weak material, this problem is widespread for jeep owners throughout the us, and abroad, this is a major safety concern for potential victims of a crash, or even worse a fire or a water evacuation as it is next to impossible to safely exit the vehicle without the support of an operational door handle.. There is most certainly other complaints regarding this issue, the edmunds forum has an extensive complaint list for this issue, and it's not just the 05 models.. The dealerships are offering a fix for $700 per door, please look into this problem before someone is killed as a result if no has died already.this is in regards to 05-08 models of the jeep grand cherokee interior door handles.
Two of the door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee have broken off and are unusable.the other two are cracking and i am fearful they will be breaking off soon.the handles and the supporting door frames are all cracking in the same location and the handles then fall off.the manufacturehas been unwilling to even discuss the issue.the dealer states it is $700 per door to fix.parts to fix the door handles are unavailable for sale outside the dealerships.due to the safety issue of being unable to exit the back seat area from the inside, i am unable to allow anyone to ride in the back seats at this time.if an accident were to occur, they would be unable to exit the car from the inside.there are numerous complaints posted as well as a website where hundreds of people are stating the same exact issue with their 2005 jeep.there was not any outside circumstance that caused this defect.the dealer states it is "normal wear and tear".this is an unacceptable safety hazard.i hope you will address as a recall before someone is seriously injured because they cannot get out of the vehicle.
Jeep grand cherokee interior door panel broke & door will not open from inside the vehicle causing a safety hazard.this is the 2nd door handle that has broken in the vehicle.in searching to fix the back door, i found an article showing that chrysler was aware of a resin problem with this vehicle.i can find a safety recall for the locks.
2 out of 4 interior door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee have broken & are subsequently rendered useless. This is a hazard if there were to be a crash & individuals inside needed to get out. There is also cracking in the door handle on the driver's door which could lead to a more severe case of being trapped. At this point & through my searches online it seems that this is a greatly occurring issue & needs to be dealt with on the manufacturer level. There has been nothing done as of yet to replace the parts as i feel it is a malfunction of the vehicle & not normal wear & tear. The estimated cost to replace each door panel with a similarly cheap quality product is $800. I would like to file this complaint in hopes of creating a large list of owners with similar issues so that chrysler/jeep takes responsibility for their shoddy product & officiates a recall.
There is a defect in the plastic used to make the door panels on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the plastic around the door handle latches is breaking apart and crumbling.all 4 doors are having the same issue of the plastic failing. If the plastic continues to break apart the door handle will fail and you will not be able to open the door.this is safety issue which could prevent myself or passengers from exiting vehicle in case of an emergency.dealership was contacted and informed of the defect.dealership stated there was no recall and they had not come across said problem before.i informed them that it was obvious defect since all the doors were degrading at the same time.dealership stated that my only option was to buy new door panels for $2600.my research shows that this is not an isolated incident and there have been many complaints of the defect door panels.this is a serious safety issue and chrysler needs to recall the door panels on this model.

2005 grand cher limiteddriver's door handle broke,when pulled to open door from inside.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that three of the interior door panels have cracked at the door handle. If they continue to fall apart the vehicle occupant will be trapped within the vehicle. I have contacted chrysler and they are not willing to fix or help with the $1,644 bill for just the three door panels. I have explained that it is a safety issue, and the vehicle just turned 50,000 miles. If the battery were to die you would be trapped in the vehicle, or if you were forced off of the road and ended up in a lake you could not get out. I explained this to chrysler and they do not feel that it is a concern that they have to worry about. I explained that i would send pictures of the vehicle to show it is in excellent condition, and garage kept (no damage to the vehicle), adult driven. Why did the other two panels crack, they have no answer.
Good afternoon. Within the past 24 months, all 4 of my door handles (interior) have had hair line cracks that have developed into full breaks on the door handles causing safety concerns for myself and my children should we be in an emergency and be unable to get out of the car. I had purchased an extended warranty on my jeep (7 years or 70,000.00) miles and when i had taken it in to our authorized dealer, they informed me that it was not covered. I have received a quote to fix this and was informed that they need to replace the entire door panel as the handle itself is not a part in itself, which will cost over $2000.00 for parts and labor. My vehicle is in excellent shape except for this.
The interior door handles have broken off or are about to break off in my 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited hemi.there is a common manufacturers material defect, as the door handle "pocket" is made out a brittle plastic that shatters under normal use.this is dangerous because in an emergency, one would not be able to exit the vehicle because the interior door handle does not work.you have to open the power window and open the door from the outside, obviously this is unacceptable and needs to be addressed by chrysler/jeep.
The casings behind the inside door latch began to gradually deteriorate until all four door casings cracked which resulted in difficulty exiting the vehicle. Three of the four handles have broken off completely, rendering the doors useless.
Latches/locks/linkages - the pop down did not show this category so i used otherthe door latches willnot work due to failing inner plastic housing.all four doors are in some condition of cracking and failure.one latch will not work at all, thus the door cannot be opened from the inside of vehicle.it is a serious safety issue.there are many complaints on this issue that have been filed.chrysler should immediately recall the vehicles and properly repair them.
I bought my 2005 jeep grand cherokee in april 2010 so i have had it for 5 months. In that 5 months the driver side rear door handle has completely broken and fallen into the door, the passenger side rear door has cracked and will be completely broken soon, the passenger front door handle is just beginning to crack so the only one that really works 100% is the driver door handle. I have an extended bumper to bumper warranty that we purchased and were told the only thing it didn't cover was the dvd player...well they lied! about a month after we bought the jeep while driving the ac would shut off and everything on the dash would start to blink on and off and then suddenly stop, i took it in and all they said was we could not get it to do it again. We recently had the rear differentials repaired due to them going out, they actually covered that under the warranty. The only other issue is sometimes while stopped at a stoplight and idle the jeep will seem like it wants to die but never does. I only have 56000 miles on my car and have owned it 5 short months and have had all of these issues, my main concern is the door handles because not only can my 3 kids not get out if there is an emergency, but where the plastic has cracked it has sharp edges and they could easily cut their hands. Something needs to be done before that happens! what is it going to take, an injured child?????
All four interior door handle panels/attach points have craked and crummbled. Rear door handles are totaly off and inoperateble. Front are very loose and falling off. Unable to exit the vehicle from the inside and must use exterior door handles to open the doors.
Interior door handles of the jeep grand cherokee have cracked and fallen off leaving the doors unable to open from the interior.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited hemi engine, door panel cracks leaving handles broken off in rear, two front door handles show signs of severe cracks, loose.contacted local dealer who said they would cover a portion of the replacement, no recalls were issued etc..this vehicle on occasion has children as passengers and i would think chrysler would be concerned for the safety of passengers with door handles that are broken.it appears that the material that these parts are made of are very low quality and i am shocked that the manufacture has not stepped up to the plate and paid for the replacement.after what i have read on blogs and on line about the same complaint from other jeep owners, this makes me consider not buying another chrysler product in the future.
The door panels on our 2005 jeep grand cherokee cracked around the door handles.the door handle broke and the rear door will not open, trapping the passengers in the rear seat.
The child safety lock on the drivers side rear door keeps moving to unlocked, making this a safety issue because a child could open the door from the inside while the car is in motion.
Two of my interior door handles are just breaking off . *ln
Oneof the door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited has broken off and is unusable. The other three are cracking and i am fearful that they will be breaking off soon. The handles and the supporting door frames are all cracking in the same location and the handles then fall off. The manufacturer has been unwilling to even discuss the issue. The dealer states it is $680 per door to fix. Parts to fix the door handles are unavailable for sale outside the dealerships. Due to the safety issue of being unable to exit the back seat area from the inside, i am fearfull to allow anyone to ride in the back seat at this time. If an accident were to occur, they could be unable to exit the car from the inside. There are numerous complaints posted as well as a website where hundreds of people are stating the same exact issue with their 2005 jeep. There was not any outside circumstances that caused this defect. The dealer states it is 'normal wear and tear'. This is a crock, 99% of the time i am the only person in this vehicle and my handle has not broken 'yet'.this is an unacceptable safety hazard. I hope you will address as a recall before someone is seriously injured because they cannot get out of the vehicle.
All interior door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited are broken or cracked.this is a safety hazard in case of a fire the backseat occupants would not be able to exit the vehicle.there are thousands of other cherokee owners voicing this same complaint on youtube.jeep says its regular wear and tear and charges close to $600.00 per door for a new panel to fix this problem.this should be a recall!
The power locks are shaped in a way that if you have your arm resting on it, it will pull your arm skin in and leave a welt and a bruise. I was resting my arm and it automatically locked, pinching my arm so hard that i had a welt and bruise....this also has happened to my husband.
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.
17jan11 -- door handle faulty -- i own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that two have cracked at the door handle. If they continue to fall apart the vehicle occupant will be trapped within the vehicle. I have contacted chrysler and they are not willing to fix or help with the $1,400.00 bill for just the two door panels. If the battery were to die you would be trapped in the vehicle, or if you were forced off of the road and ended up in a lake you could not get out. My friend has explained this to chrysler and they do not feel that it is a concern that they have to worry about. I explained that i would send pictures of the vehicle to show it is in excellent condition, and garage kept (no damage to the vehicle), adult driven. Why did the other two panels crack, they have no answer.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.i have read over 500 complaints about the obvious manufacturer's defect associated with the interior door release systems contained in this vehicle.i must assume that "we" are waiting for a number of deaths before this evident flaw will be recalled. I am now down to one working door on my grand cherokee.other than that, my jeep is in great condition, for i am very particular about maintaining my vehicle properly.after hundreds of jeep grand cherokee owners have submitted official complaints, wouldn't it be safe to say that these complaint represent thousands, if not tens of thousands of incidents?let's face it... Most vehicle owners will live with this, or pay to have it repaired, but few actually submit a written complaint.i have been quoted a price of $700 per door to have these door release systems replaced.as a single mother, i don't happen to have an extra $2,800 to pay for something that should be taken care of by the manufacturer.one day... Heaven forbid... Someone (hopefully not a child) will be trapped inside a jeep grand cherokee during an emergency.only then, i assume, will a recall be issued. What a shame.this particular vehicle has been on the road for six years, and complaints are rolling in.this is horrible and extremely dangerous.please investigate!!!
The contact owns a 2005 grand jeep cherokee. The contact stated that the door handles broke. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who refused to provide any service since there were no related recalls. The manufacturer was not contacted. Thevehicle was not repaired. The vin was unavailable. The failure and current mileage was 40,000.
2005 jeep grand cherokee interior door handles inoperable from the inside of the vehicle. The 2 back door handles have fallen off. We took this up with chrysler and was told this is not under warranty.this is a quality/design flaw and a huge safety issue. Chrysler needs to recognize this and re-call and fix this issue. We then took our jeep into a dealer to get it fixed and paid $736 for one door panel. The only panel that could be fixed since the rest are on back order??? we are left with 2 doors that don't operate and one cracked door handle that eventually will fall off too.please help address this concern with the 2005 jeep grand cherokee. Thank you
One of the door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee has broken off and is unusable. The other three are cracking and i am fearful that they will be breaking off soon. The handles and the supporting door frames are all cracking in the same location and the handles then fall off. The manufacturer has been unwilling to even discuss the issue. The original dealer is out of business and the local dealer states it is $680 per door to fix. Parts to fix the door handles are unavailable for sale outside the dealerships. Due to the safety issue of being unable to exit the back seat area from the inside, i am fearful to allow anyone to ride in the back seat at this time. If an accident were to occur, they could be unable to exit the car from the inside. I see there are numerous complaints posted as well as a website where hundreds of people are stating the same exact issue with their 2005 jeep. There was not any outside circumstances that caused this defect. 99% of the time i am the only person in the vehicle. The dealer states it is ?normal wear and tear?. What a crock my door handle gets used 10 times a day and it has failed "yet" this is an unacceptable safety hazard. I hope you will address as a recall before someone is seriously injured because they cannot get out of the vehicle.
All 4 door handles have broken apart from the door panel, and after a quick google search and looking at nhtsa website, it is a very common problem.would be incredibly unsafe if you needed to exit the vehicle in a hurry.
1. Normal use of interior driver side door latch.2. Casing around interior door latch handle broken3. Entire door panel must be replaced.door panel for this model on backorder.existing broken part is available.
Interior door panel cracking around handle.makes exiting the vehicle difficult.when the panel shatters further it will make exiting the vehicle difficult.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee interior door handles have all broken loose from their door panels making them inoperable. I have inquired about any assistance from the manufacturer since the problem seems to have been caused by faulty material and really poor design. The answer has been negative. I am concerned that in an emergency it would be impossible to exit the vehicle if i were not able to get the windows down to use the exterior handle.i feel a recall is definitely in order since the price to replace these panels is exorbitant ( $700.00 to $800.00 each) and no assistance is being offered through the manufacturer. There are multiple cases in your file regarding this issue and a huge amount of documentation from customers on the internet!!!please help all of us rectify this dangerous situation. Please don't wait until an injury or death is reported that wascaused by this problem !!
I am the owner of a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and all but one of the door handles on the inside panel have fallen out and it is just a matter of time before the other one does because it is already cracking.this is a real safety issue as if anything happens the doors cannot be opened from the inside.i have read that this is real common because of the material used to make these doors and has happened to a whole lot of people.the dealerships want like $700 a door to replace.
2005 jeep grand cherokee, plastic door panel and handle assembly is cracked and or broken behind where the pull handle is. Jeep refuses to fix this issue without charging over 3k for parts and labor.

2005 jeep grand cherokee interior door handle broke.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee rear drivers side latch handle broke while trying to exit the vehicle.after further inspection, 2 more latches are experiencing stress fractures in plastic molding.
2005 jeep grand cherokee - interior door handles brokenall of the interior door handles on my vehicle have broken.apparently the only available fix is to replace the entire door panel assembly.i have solicited quotations for each panel, and the lowest offered price has been $750/panel.based upon the fact that 4 of 4 handles have broken in the same manner, i believe it sound to conclude the handle suffers from a hidden vice or defect.luckily, i live in a state that allows recovery for breach of the warranty against redhibition.however, i can only imagine the disappointment and anger for like consumers who have no recourse to address this defect.please do the right thing and persuade the manufacture to remedy via recall.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and i really have a concern to whom or where i could file a claim with a problem with my interior door handles.the reason why i'm complaining is that all the 4interior door handles cannot by opened from the inside as usual because all of them are broken and with the plastic cracked, made in pieces and holes where the plastic has been missing.most of the time i have or the passengers have to open the door from outside.please help me in this or give me some advice. What i have to do or where i could find information to replace them.thanks
I currently own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and approximately september of last year i observed the front passenger interior door housing to be cracked and loose.i was bewildered how this happened.in april of this year my seven year old daughter was in the rear seat behind the driver seat.i stopped the vehicle and exited.i was waiting for my daughter to come out and she began to bang on the glass in a panic.i opened the door from the outside and she was crying and told me she couldn't get out that the interior handle was broken.i looked at the handle and discovered the housing to be completely broken apart like the front passenger one, but the rear handle was just dangling and is inoperable.it was at this time i began to research this issue to see if it is a problem with other jeep owners.sure enough it is a problem with hundreds of jeep owners, and my research should that there are 65 complaints filed under latches/locks/linkages; 29 complaints under structure: body: door; and 10 complaints under latches /locks/linkages:door:latch, not counting other site complaints when you conduct a google search.i went to a local jeep dealer who informed me that my warranty is up and they do not have any knowledge of any recalls.i am concerned as if two handles are broke, it is a matter of time the other two will also break.i also find this to be a serious!!!, safety issue as if there is an emergency, how will a child exit my rear seat if they are sitting behind the driver and if the handle breaks on the otherside there is no getting out from within the vehicle. This of course can result in the death of a passenger.i hope your agency can assist me with this problem in getting these handles replaced before the unthinkable happens.thank you in advance.
Broken door latches. Safety issue.
Bad plastic resin compound was used to manufacture 2005 jeep grand cherokee in several batches of door panels, used to hold door handles.the plastic cracks, crumbles, and disintegrates around the door handle after only a few (3-5) years of use.many door handles are no longer usable.this creates a fire safety issue and a crash safety issue, because vehicle occupants cannot use the door handle to escape from the vehicle.the door handle may have been intact before a crash, but due to the weak plastic be inoperable after a crash by further cracking and crumbling.numerous video's and pictures have surfaced in the public showing this problem, and chrysler/jeep is not owning up to their problem, and their supplier's problem.consumers are faced with a $2,400.00 repair bill or designing their own solutions (at the peril of the public)!!!here are some example videos and comments on dealing with jeep dealers and corporate on this issue:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsfrz7cibkyandhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3zgrqrrmcaandhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bycj4pndkkoandhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4fiofrfxggi was in a car accident on 07/18/2010 and could not open my door because of this problem.i had to roll down my window, and reach outside and use the exterior door handle, because the interior handle was disconnected and would not work.chrysler jeep refuses to acknowledge this vehicle safety defect despite hundreds of complaints.only when threatened with legal action or a class action law suit do they respond.the nhtsa must step in to address this as a safety recall.
Back driver side interior door handle can off when a passenger was trying to exit. This door is hardly ever used.
Re: 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited - interior door panels (where door handle is attached) are cracking and falling away resulting in the door handles no longer being attached to the door. This requires, at times, the door to be opened from outside the vehicle. Chrysler will not replace as the vehicle is out of warranty. The dealership wants $700 + labor (per door) to repair something that is obviously a manufacturing/material defect and safety hazard.
The front and rear passenger side door handles have broken off the door panels. The person sitting in the back seat cannot open the door on that side. I've been told it will cost over $1000 to replace the panels. Based on all of the similar complaints i've heard and read about, i think there should be a recall on this problem.
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.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The interior door panels and handles to open the doors are all broken. The dealership wants $600-700 per door to replace. This is a safety defect rendering the passengers unable to open up the doors. The chrysler corp should do a recall and fix this obvious and dangerous design/manufacturing issue. As a result of the broken door panels, the door handles will not properly open up the doors for both the front and rear passenger doors. If there is ever an accident and those doors are the only escape route, they will render the passengers trapped in the car.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the contact stated the inside driver and passenger front door handles were breaking which made it difficult to open the vehicle from the inside.the dealer and manufacturer were notified, but denied any assistance with repairs.the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 76,000 and the current mileage was 81,000.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited edition interior door handles breaking off. 3 of the 4 door handles are unable to open the doors in case of an emergency.due to the number of the same complaints about this safety issue, jeep obviously has a manufacturing defect that needs a recall issued.
2 of 4 interior door panel on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee are broken.i have not replaced the panels due to cost and working around the problem for now.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact was unable to exit the vehicle from the front driver side because the door handle was fractured. In order for the contact to exit the vehicle, the contact had to roll down the front driver side window and open the door by using the exterior door handle. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired and the manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were unknown.
Rear passenger door handle broke from door panel causing child to not be able to open door from inside. The handle is not dangling there from wire. The other doors are showing signs of spider cracks, eventually leading to breakage.
I am reporting a very big safety concern about 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited v8 hemi interior door handles as it is made of very cheap plastic and i have the four handles ripped off on my vehicle. The only way to open the doors are from outside. In case of emergency or if the car is damaged where i can not bring down the windows i will be stuck inside the car.when i tried to order a replacement parts i found it is out of stock and backordered. It might take few months before i get it. This just show how big is the problem and how many cars are involved.
2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo interior door handle casings disintegrated and no longer operable, cannot exit vehicle from either rear door, and driver door also cracked and nearing complete failure.defects appeared at about the same time.vehicle is out of warranty and manufacturer not responsive even though this is a clear safety issue and apparent manufacturing defect.manufacturer quoted price is about $2,000 to make 3 doors operable.
When opening my doors the door handles started developing cracks and eventually cracked into several pieces and the handles are no longer attached to the door.calls and a visit to a dealer left me with the only option to replace the entire interior door at over $200.
2005 jeep grand cherokeeinterior door handle trim completely shatters for no apparent reason.door handles are inoperative from inside the vehicle.every door handle has this same issue.chrysler-jeep officially denies any culpability, but will give a discount off of the $2,500 repair bill, so consumers must pay $1,000 for the manufacturing defect.even extended warranties will not cover the issue.i hope to god no one ever desperately needs to get out of one of these death traps in an emergency.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited with 3 of 4 door handles broken off.huge safety issue if vehicle involved in a crash or into water.no way to safely get all passengers out.we bought the vehicle used and was unaware of the issue and within weeks of buying the vehicle, the handles started to break and fall off.
Driver's door latch is loose because of the plastic part is broke off, and it can come off anytime. Other two doors have cracks around the latches, starting to havethe same problem.there is not thing can be done except replace the parts which is very expensive.this is the defective issue with the plastic that surrounded the door latches.it is a safety issue.
2005 jeep grand cherokee interior door handles are defective.passenger side door handle has completely broken due to the cheap plastic and the driver side door handle has almost failed as well.i am afraid that in an emergency, i and my passengers might not be able to exit the vehicle.i've been reading online and this appears to be a very common issue, but chrysler refuses to fix the doors.they want $700 plus to fix each door handle, but you can't even get one because they are on back order.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited (5.7l): interior plastic holding door handles has been cracked for quite some time and now they are broken. I am the sole owner of the vehicle (i'm single, no kids) and my rear door handles have rarely ever been used, yet they are completely broken now. Apparently this is a very common trend among these 2005-2008 jeep models and this is a serious safety issue as rear passengers are unable to exit the vehicle from the inside. The steps to repair a simple door handle and crack requires the entire panel to be replaced, at $400+ each. These dealer replacement parts are on national back-order due to the extreme amount of cases with this.
2005 jeep grand cherokee, 42275 miles, the door panels on the rear doors are broken at the door handles and the doors cannot be opened from the inside. Additionally, both front door panels are cracked at the door handles and more than likely will break soon. Have inquired with local body shop and new door panels are approximately $450 each and are of the same design.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and the inside door panels are a hard plastic one piece door panel.the plastic that is behind the door handles is broken and cracked and i am very much concerned about the safety of being able to exit the vehicle in an emergency or even during normal circumstances.i have been told that jeep refused to do a recall and the replacements are very expensive.my vehicle only has 61,000 miles and again this is something that is wide spread in this model with other owners and a recall should be done.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limitedinterior door handles.3 of my 4 handles have broken off.jeep charges $700.00 to replace this.it is a joke, considering i have used the backseat door handles maybe 15 times since i have had it since 2007.i have never heard or seen door handles on any vehicle completely break off out of no where.
Latches/locks/linkages- all four interior door latches are cracked and one is inoperable.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that has 4 interior door handles broken. To get out of my car i have to roll down my window, open my door and then open the rest of the doors for my 3 kids. This is a scary situation in case i am involved in an accident and there is a fire. If my jeep turns off how am i supposed to roll down the electrical window and escape out of my car. Our safety is in great danger because of defective door handles that are not even forced and break off so easily. Another problem i have with my jeep is that when i start it and start driving, the electrical brake system light, the engine light, the abs light and some other light turn on. After the lights turn, the speedometer will no longer work, i can't see how many miles per hour i am driving. I have to turn of the jeep, restart it and that will make the speedometer work but the engine light will not go off. In a couple of occasions i have come to make a complete stop with the vehicle and all of a sudden it will turn off dead. I have to put the vehicle in park and restart it again.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited, and all of the interior door panels have cracked around the door handle release.my concern is that the poor construction or the door panels and the latch mechanism will cause occupants to be stuck inside when the door handles eventually fail.the vehicle only has 36000 miles, and is very well taken care of, and this poor quality construction is unacceptable.
Door handle broken, unable to get out after an accident.
In my 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited i began to notice the plastic that the door handle was connected by began to crack, within a few weeks the entire door handle was no longer working leaving me to have to open the window to open the door from the outside. This is a vehicle safety issue, due to a supplier's defective plastic resin mix, not a warranty issue. In case of a crash or fire, a passenger or driver might not be able to get out of the vehicle and could be trapped in and could die, my passenger side is also hanging very loosely and soon will not work as well. The door handle is not a separate part as in most vehicles so the entire door handle must be replace. The dealer charges more than 800 dollars to fix a door piece, and the part will just be replaced with another door panel with the exact same plastic that will break eventually again.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and all my interior door handles are breaking,i have three small children and i am concerned they would not be able to get out of the vehicle if anything were to happen.
I have two 2005 jeep grand cherokees. All the inside door handles are cracking and some are completely destroyed to the point you can not open the door from the inside. Which in the event of an accident, no one would be able to exit the vehicle. It's obviously a problem with the plastic being too thin/brittle. It's all over the internet and there are even youtube videos.
I have had my 2005 jeep grand cherokee for 3 years. One year ago, i got a crack in the plastic around the drivers side door handle. Then 6 months ago, the front passenger door handle cracked. Last month, the rear passenger door handle broke off while a friend was trying to exit. The door handles are slowly breaking off at the plastic around the door handle.
I own a 2005 grand cherokee limited, at this time both front doors handles are broken, the rear handles start to breaking apart too. I have to open the doors front the outside witch is unsafe and dangerous in case of an accident. First one broke at 67000 miles, and the second at 71000 miles . Please help.
3 out of 4 door handles have developed cracks on the plastic door panel in my 2005 jeep grand cherokee.one of the doors is no longer operational without rolling down the window and pulling the outside door handle.this is clearly a design defect from faulty plastic attachments.if there was an accident the passenger may not be able to quickly exit the vehicle, especially if the electric windows no longer functioned.chrysler needs to fix this.
All interior door panels are cracked around the door handles.three out of four door handles have snapped off and the very last one is hanging on by a thread.the handles seem to be attached to the actual door panel which is comprised of hard plastic.the design of the door panel and the handle being attached is bad and a safety issue if you can't exit the vehicle if your car dies and you have no power to open the windows.additionally, if you need to force the doors open from the inside due to a wreck, car on fire, panicking etc., 9x's out of ten you don't have handles and any weight or pressure to remaining handles if any while cause them to just snap off.my car smells of gas constantly and the light comes on to tell me to check the gas cap.i eventually replaced the gas cap after checking it all of the time and now the car just smells of gas and my check engine light comes on sometimes.i've had the car checked by mechanics and the jeep dealer to no resolve.the constant gas smells give me bad headaches as well as concern when i'm driving.
3 of 4 door handles broken.stress from handle cable operations creates a crack.when the crack become a break the door becomes inoperable, and can not be opened from the inside of the 2005 jeep grand cherokee.there have been reports in edmunds car space on this problem since november 2007.this is safety issue due to the fact the doors can not be opened from the inside incase of an emergency.
All 4 plastic interior door handle brackets/inserts in 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited (4.7l) have disintegrated, making it impossible to get out of car w/o reaching outside.
All interior door panels on the 2005 jeep grand cherokee have cracked and, in some cases, broke apart around the door handle.i have had three repaired at a dealership at personal cost and one is pending.i believe it is a defect in the plastic resin manufacturing process for the early 2005 grand cherokees because all four door panels have cracked in the exact same place.chrysler was contacted on numerous occasions and denies that this is an issue.this is a potential safety issue because if the door handle breaks loose, you cannot open the door to exit the vehicle from the inside.this exact issue has been documented several times by other grand cherokee owners and all of them have had similar results with chrysler's denial of an issue.
The inside door handles do not function due to bad plastic that holds them in place and this will not allow me or my passengers to exit the vehicle incase of a fire or accident. It started out as a small crack and now they all are breaking off.
2005 jeep grand cherokee plastic surrounding the driver side door handle cracked and fell apart. It was taken apart and glued back together. This lasted a short while and it then broke again. It is not an easy fix. The whole door panel for $600 dollars must be replaced. At times the window must be rolled down to open the door using the outside handle.in case of an electrical failure in an accident you would not be able to exit the vehicle.this is definitely a safety issue.many jeeps have had all 4 door handles break. This is poor construction. Chrysler needs to step up and recall and fix this issue and not by replacing it with more cheap plastic.
Normal door use, door handles cracking then breaking.worried about safety.nothing done to repair.three out of the four are broken.

I have an 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited and all 4 interior door handles started with hairline cracks that have advanced into major cracks and pieces of the plastic missing where the interior door handle is located. Recently, 2 days ago- the back passenger handle completely came off and now is inoperable. There is no way to exit the vehicle from the inside of that affected door. I am certain that all my door handles will eventually follow suit and i will have no operable doors in the vehicle. This is a safety issue and should be addressed as such. This is not cosmetic. All 4 interior door handle panels need to be replaced. The door handles are not secure and will continue to crumble until they are not usable anymore. Since this is a known issue- when is jeep going to start replacing their broken manufactured parts?

I hope you can help with this problem.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On the drivers door, the plastic of the panel supporting the interior door handle has broken leaving the handle unmounted and useless. Obviously, this is a safety hazard as it takes more time to egress the vehicle in an accident.
Front door has poor quality plastic which causes door to become inoperable in jeep grand cherokee 2005 models. Please inspect quality, dealer refuses to help, and while researching to replace panel, due to huge safety concerns we came across many other consumers with the exact same problem. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

All interior door handles inoperative due to engineering defect.
2005 jeep grand cherokee.all 4 interior plastic door handle mountings have cracked. The two rear handles have fallen off completely. Chrysler says they arenot responsible.it is a safety hazard.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and my door handles are breaking off on the inside. I do not have children so they are not abused in any way. The material is a cheap plastic and the handles are barely hanging on both front driver and passenger doors. This is a safety hazard that needs to be addressed. I have also seen several other complaints on youtube from other jeep owners with same situation. I also work for aaa roadside and have seen several instances where they have to be towed for electrical fires. This makes me very nervous and this matter needs to be addressed. There are also videos on youtube with jeep fires as well to back it up. Any kind of recall would be greatly appreciated as these two scenarios are a serious and life threatning combination. Thanks
There is a potentially serious safety issue concerning the interior door handles of the 2005 jeep grand cherokee.apparently the plastic holding these door handles has a tendency to crack and break, causing the door handles to be inoperable from the inside of the vehicle.the door handle is only supported by the molded plastic of the entire plastic door panel, and not the metal frame of the door itself.there has been no blow or abnormal use to cause this problem, just the normal opening of the doors with the inside door handle.this condition has affected all 4 of our doors, with the handle itself completely missing (falling down inside the door) on the left rear passenger door.at this point, the handle on the right rear passenger door is not missing, but it is inoperable (nothing for the handle to pull against because it is cracked on the inside), and both front doors have cracks but are operational at this point.it is obvious that chrysler-jeep needs to resolve the problem before someone dies in a fire or accident, having gotten trapped inside the vehicle.we bought this vehicle new from the dealer, but the dealer has indicated there is no recall and it will cost ~$600 each to replace the entire door panels to fix the current problem.he also indicated that even with the new door panels, the problem may happen again.this is not acceptable!!!must someone die to bring this serious problem to light.
Normal door use, door handles cracking then breaking. Worried about safety. Unable to exit door in an emergency. Would have to be let out.nothing done to repair. Three out of the four are broken. Jeep will not recall or repair.only way to exit vehicle is to be let out from exterior.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. I just hit 50,000 miles, and it is sporadic at best that i have passengers in the rear. I have kept my vehicle in immaculate condition. However, both of my rear door handles are completely broken. I have to open the doors from the outside. My front two door handles are cracked with pieces missing but still operational for the moment, but i'm sure it's only a matter of time. If i were in an accident and rendered unconscious my rear passengers have no way of exiting the vehicle in case of fire or other event would require a quick exit. This is absolutely a safety hazard due to a manufacturer defect.
My 2005 grand jeep cherokee limited has defective door panels. 3 door panels have holes around the handle, 1 is completely broken and is will not open the door. The 4th door panel is cracking. Soon all four doors will not be abled to be opened from the inside, causing a safety issue.this car is in mint condition with only 26,000 miles on it. This is a defect, not wear and tear!!
2005 jeep grand cherokee - all 4 plastic door handles have broken off - plastic falling apart and into inside of door - the only way to get out is to open from the outside.very dangerous if you are unable to get out of vehicle - i have tried to gorilla glue them back together and they just keepcrumbling.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the interior door panels (all 4 doors) have cracked/crumbled around the door handles making it impossible to open the doors from the inside.this is a very dangerous safety hazard and should be addressed immediately.i have 75,000 miles on the vehicle, therefore it is not under standard warranty.the dealership said they could replace the entire panel on each door for about $500-$700 each.

Door handles broke and you cannot get out of the car not only did one handle break on the passenger side but the two back doors also broke on the car in the same week.
Purchased vehicle on 7-31-06.upon test drive the door locks would nt lock or unlock when using door key (any dr in the car).the remote did work.salesman told us 2 bring it in if it cont'd.taken in 5 times since the 1st time in october 05', dealerships cannot dupt the issue.last dealership said that if he toggled switch about 10 times it happened, but that was just "overheating the button & that is normal".problem is i work in a building w/a prkg garage & work all hrs.when i get into my car, 4 safety i lock the drs immed.there have been several occasions where i can't do that & have 2 wait 2 get the car moving over the 15mi an hour 2 lock the drs.next issue is the delayed engagement in the transmission going 2 rev or drv.the car has been in on 3 occasions for this item of which the dealership clears codes or cannot dupt the issue.this issue became a an issue in a construction zone at a rr track near our home.gates were down when i drove up & i was 3rd car back, the gates went up, 2 cars went through & i was almost at the tracks when the railroad arms started coming down again.i put on the brakes & shifted to reverse 2 back up & the delay nearly caused the rr arm 2 hit the car.i backed up just enough to clear the rr arm by less than 6 inches.the last item is the a/c.since late march of 06'we have been experiencing the a/c blowing cold, then the air turns 2 warm or hot air blowing from 3 sec 2 minutes of blowing humid air before the system will kick in again with cold air.this has been intermittently like the other 2 items above.3 times into the dealerships & again it was stated they fixed it when it wasn't or "it's 114 degrees out, it is going 2 blow warm air"."using outside air will make the a/c blow warm air'.the incident date is hard since there are 3 issues so i put the day of purchase.the failures are also hard to calculate, but since these items happen intermittently & or everyday (a/c) i counted 3 mo worth.
About three weeks ago my 7 year old granddaughter tried to get out of the jeep and door handle was plastic was cracked and just hanging.

I parked my vehicle in a driveway and took the key out of the ignition. I opened the rear passenger door and put my son in the backseat.the vehicle gearshift lever was pushed out of park and into reverse with my 3 year old son in the vehicle. The vehicle rolled backwards 20 feet and crashed into a truck. If the truck wasn't there it would have rolled even further into the pond. I'm just hoping this doesn't happen to anyone else, it could've killed someone. I am contacting my dealership to try to get the issue resolved. According to the owner's manual the brake transmission interlock system failed on my vehicle. You should not be able to move the gear shift lever in the p (park) position when the ignition switch is in the lock position. To move the gear selector lever out of the p (park) position, the ignition switch must be turned to the on position, and the brake pedal must be depressed.
I took jeep in for recall n23 and they flashed it. After i picked it up the service 4wd drive code keeps popping up. 4x4 does not kick in. Unless i remove the fed myself fuse and put back in then it will work. But after a while 4wd service turns on again.

Carried my jeep 4wd in for n23 recall. I use low lock all the time on the farm. Never had any prior problems. Was'nt going to even do the recall but got to thinking if problem did occur vehicle could roll on me while i was alone. Had recall done. That saturday tried low lock and got "service transfer case" on instrument panel. Could not select low. Tried many times with no success. Carried back to dealer. Said they had a few other vehicles with the same problem and they would take care of it. They called later saying it needed a selector which was on back order.now its april 2014 and i'm still waiting for my jeep to be fixed.was on the farm the other day while it was raining. Could not select low still. Jeep is a full time 4wd so it pulled ok, but if it were a little worse and needed low i would have gotten stuck.when will jeep own up and fix it? another reason u.s. Car companies in trouble. Own up to problems and get some owner loyalty and they could make even more money. No one is responsible for anything anymore. I ordered this jeep new for its 4wd features, and 545rfe transmission.now i can't get it working. Recall caused problem. Make them fix it!
Sometimes this vehicle acts as though it is stuck in its lowest gear. If i let the vehicle cool off for 3 or more hours it acts fine upon restart. I have found a transmission recall but don't know if it is the same problem.
I wanted to let you know about a possible safety issue. I own a 2005 jeep cherokee limited and the 4 wheel drive transfer case went out while we were camping in myrtle beach. It could be driven so i drove to the jeep dealership there and they said it the transfer case and it was on major back order and they couldn't give me an idea of when it would be done. When we arrived home in manning, sc, i brought the jeep to stokes-craven jeep in manning. They told me there are more than 550 transfer cases on back order and they were not sure when they would arrive. After they looked at the part, it was making a lot of noise so it couldn't be driven. I asked the service manager if this was a recall item since there were so many on back order and he said there wasn't at that time. I called chrysler and asked the question about recall and only got an answer about the part, which they didn't know when it would be available.could you check to see if this should be an item that should be subject to recall? perhaps you can get some straight answers.i know there was a recall regarding the transfer case in may that required a software update and that update was done.thanks
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.

2005 jeep grand cherokee. Seems to be there's electrical issue all the dash lights would turn on turn off happened while i was driving on the freeway and had to come to a stop it stalled out it happened when i started up the car and i turned it off andtook it to the shop two different times pretty much the same problem first time it has 68 codes reading off of it so they replace my battery the second time the lights will come on and go off and come on and then it wouldn't even go it was undriveable at that point so we took it to the shop and then a month later it's starting all over again i was driving down the road came to a stop light plied the brakes and then all of the sudden the gauges were going crazy. The idol was moving up and down the lights would come on and go off and it's all the lights not just air bag or anything like that it was all the lights. I read on the internet other people been having the same issue it's scary when somebody is explaining the same thing that's going on in your car. It is unknown at this time what this phantom problem is and it's highly dangerous. I also bought this jeepused and don'tknow it this was happening beforehand.*have a video but this site won'tupload it.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee started acting up about a year after i purchased it and has progressively gotten worse and worse. It has problems shifting and identifying what gear it is in on a daily basis, for example when i put it in drive from park prnd will all be illuminated like it doesn't know what gear it is in and it will make a loud thud sound. Then when you drive it won't shift from first gear and will rev up or it will get stuck in 3rd gear and won't down shift. Sometimes it will be driving normal and when i stop at a stop sign and then go to pull out into traffic it will stall right in the middle of traffic and i can't get it to snap out of it! it will also decide that it doesn't know what gear it is in while i am driving on the expressway and will start to rev up and freeze on me. This is very unsettling and dangerous and could defiantly cause a serious accident. From what i have read in other reviews many people have this same problem with their 2005 jeep grand cherokee so it doesn't seem like just a coincidence to me and something should be done. I have taken it to different mechanics and no one can give me an answer as to whats wrong or how to fix it.
Dealer ship did the n23 recall for nhtsa id# 13v175000. Since recall procedure was done, transfer case won't operate properly. Cannot shift into 4-low or shift transfer case into neutral for towing behind another vehicle. No satisfaction from chrysler to repair the damage done by the recall. Vehicle cannot operate properly in off road or inclement weather situations.

"takata recall" i purchased a jeep for 7,500. Put 3,000 down and financed the rest. Next day, the axle boot was broke. Took it back to the dealer and they replaced it. At that time, i realized they gave me a 29% finance rate. So i bought they vehcile right out by writing a check for$4890. With asking if the vehcile had any major issues or been in the shop for any serious engine or transmission work, i was promised the vehcile was in good standing condition. Next day,with my fiance and my 20 month old son in the newly purchased vehcile, headed out for a vacation. About 10 mins from our home and the axle they just replacedon't broke and the transmission went. The vehcile had no emergency brakes and no hear, not even park. I had to pull into a person's yard and do donuts until it stopped. Got it towed home and called the bank and cancelled the check. Now the have towed the vehcile away and say i write bad checks. Yet i have paperwork from the bank supporting my cancellation on the check and record of funds to purchase the vehcile. Seeking legal advice now. I did purchase "as is"....yet, that doesn't uphold to fraud and warranty of mechanism on the vehcile.
While driving for about 20mins the was a hard shift and my truck was stuck in 3rd gear and the check engine light came on. I took it to a mechanic and he said it could be the shift solenoid and it would cost 700 to take my transmission apart to check it. $700 later im still having the problem i bought the car at 82k im now at 92k i keep up regular service. What is weird is when i turn my turn my truck back on its no longer in 3rd and it stays that way for sometimes weeks but it comes back surely.

While driving the vehicle i receive a message on the info center displaying "transmission over temp" the fan kicks on high and the vehicle will not go faster than 25mph. I have to pull over, turn the vehicle off, wait 30 seconds, turn it back on and it goes away. Had my vehicle at the transmission shop and had it thoroughly looked through and the pcm is to blame. It is very common on these vehicles. I feel it is a saftey concern due to the "transmission over temp" displaying every couple of miles as i drive. Calling chrysler directly to ask of the problem and they were very rude and hung up on me. Not happy!!

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.

We own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. When the vehicle was 2 years old and at 35,000 miles the check engine light came on indicating the transmission control module. This was replaced under warranty. My husband was kind of concerned that they had the part in stock for a two year old vehicle but we had it fixed and went on. Now it is three years later at 89,000 miles and the same part needs to be replaced. They want us to pay 750 to have it replaced. We filed a case with chrysler and they want us to have it diagnosed for 89.00 at their dealer and then they will discuss whether they will help pay for it or not. There are many other people on the web that have had the same issues. Our car will light up all the gears when you are driving down the road and will not shift properly due to the engine not understanding what gear we are in. I do not want to have to worry that they fixed it and helped us this time but in 2-3 years we have to do this all over again for the same part. The gentleman my husband first talked to at the dealer we consulted before talking with chrysler stated that he has also replaced this same piece in his chrysler 300 twice. I have also seen on the car forums that the jeep commander is doing the same thing and there are numerous complaints out there about the 05 jeep cherokee. I would like to know why chrysler continues to put this part that is obviously not working in their vehicles. This is causing issues for the cars and i am not convinced i want another chrysler product. The gear shift should not be having parts replaced. I have been around many vehicles and never had this type of problem. I do not understand why a recall or something hasn't been done on this particular part. Why would they not find a new way to do this type of gear shift that doesn't fall apart in two years of driving. This is a family vehicle. This is not a race car or even a 4wd. I just want to get help in case others are still dealing with this.
Lights lit on dash,abs, traction control,& service electrical brake system.replaced brakes & no change lights still lit up.got recall notice p41 in sept, 2014 stating problem with ignition switch,& that the part is not available & will contact me when its available.it is now over a year later still nothing and is way beyond a reasonable of time for repair !!! after driving all winter without the traction control.now when i drive the vehicle when i turn it off it won't start & it wont start for 11/2 to 2 hours i am just stuck waiting & waiting! it is totally random sometimes it starts & sometimes it will only crank for a split second and theni am stuck, tried to jump it doesn't help at all makes no difference.also the headlights will flash off & on at times, as well as the dash lights.this is my only car so this is a major problem for me.have spoken with the dealer can't help parts not available.

2005 jeep grand cherokee v8 w/hemi. Took the jeep to a dealership for repairs for stalling. They detected a leak from the ac unit and a seal that was letting the water enter the transmission they flushed it refilled it. Look that recalls found a recall number e-13 on a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that stated the same thing cept for if the torque converter is compromised it would be replaced. Call the chrysler number offered on the website and ask them if there was anything they could do they stated no there was nothing they could do so it's going to be an expense to me because it wasn't stated for the v8 engine it was only stated for the 3.7 liter engine. This is very troubling because if they didn't detect that and the other vehicles then obviously it's going to cause an accident or something to happen when you lose power throughout your vehicle especially when you're on the highway or even a busy road. I stated to them it is word for word and what was wrong with my car and they still. And being on disability at the moment and trying to pay for these repairs and still paying the car off is very difficult. I would like this issue to be resolved by the chrysler. If they neglected to see any issues in the v8 model that occurred in the 3.7 liter engine model there will probably be lawsuits against them. It is frustrating that this is happening and they can't help a jeep owner out probably will never bite you again. Let's just hope my engine don't catch on fire either. Being afraid to drive a car is not ok expecially when it's the only car you have and you can't afford to repair or buy a new one cuz you're on disability.
Was notified by service dept. That the crossmember of the frame that supports the transmission was cracked /broken due to excessive rust and needs to be replaced cost=$800.00 seems unusual at this time&mileage. Thank you

Chrysler sent out a letter for the n23 recall. I had the recall performed and now have no 4wd low as well as many others. The local dealership has tried replacing my actuator twice knowing that the recall had messed it up. Someone needs to stand up at chrysler and figure this out. There are many of us with this problem. Most might not even know bc they probably do not use their 4wd low.
I took my 2005 jeep grand cherokee in for the n23 recall in october 2013 and all seemed good.on 11/14/13 i attempted to use my 4wd lo and i received a message service 4wd.after searching the web i came across numerous people with the same problem after having the recall performed.i then took it back to the dealership to have them redo the recall and all was working good.on 1/6/14 i again received service 4wd, back to the dealer i went.this time i was informed i needed a new transfer case motor and that it would cost me $800 to replace and they are back ordered for 3 or 4 months.i am not the only one that is having this issue and more can be found here: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f67/n23-recall-issue-no-4-low-1561787/.by the sounds of it there is a cracked pc board in the transfer case. Instead of chrysler actually fixing the problem correctly, they just issued a software work around, a band aid fix is what i think of.chrysler needs to be held responsible for this issue.i even called chrysler corp. And was transfer to a voice mail where i left a message in november and i have never heard back from them.
After we had the following recall done.report receipt date: may 07, 2013 nhtsa campaign number: 13v175000 component(s): electrical system , power train the vehicle has failed to be put into 4 wd neutral or visa versa, not allowed to be put into drive.we tow behind my motorhome. It happened the first time we tried to tow it, it went into neutral but would not come back out easily.after ~1/2 hr of trying i was able to get it to go back into drive.i took it back to the dealer he could not find anything wrong.about 3 weeks later after pulling it behind the rv and then trying to put it back into neutral it would not go into neutral, took it to a different dealer who reran the flash on the final drive.it worked fine for about a month.no it has happened a 3rd time while my wife was on a trip, she cannot get it back into neutral. I have read of other people having the same problem after the recall, which indicates the recall is causing the problem.i doubt that the dealer will repair for free so i think the nhtsa should require the dealers to repair the problem as part of the original recall.

The bezel assembly malfunctioned by the gear shift sleeve bunching, which prevented the gear shift from staying in "drive".without any physical manipulation, the gears shifted from "drive" to "neutral".
Upon driving my daughter to school my transmission would not leave 1st gear.rpm's would almost red line, i would let off the gas to let it shift and nothing, it stayed in 1st gear.well when i looked at the gauges, my lights for prndl were all lit up instead of just "d".boxes around every single letter.i proceeded to put the car in neutral and put it back in drive and still all 5 letters lit up and engine bogged down.it took several minutes for what like seemed forever for it to get into gear which was drive, i backed up traffic because i couldn't do the speed limit and had to use my hazard lights on the side of the road.this was my first occurrence, this has happened at least a dozen or more times since then to include yesterday jan 5 2015.every time i contact the dealer or ask on jeep owner website, i get " sorry sir the only recall listed is the ignition switch and we don't have a part for that." i checked the website and apparently my jeep had been serviced for the transmission back in 2010 at 70k miles but does not explain what they did.i also need to put in another complaint about the transmission. June of 2014 and still to this day the gear shift can be moved from "p" to any gear, and that is when no keys are in the ignition.i was working under the hood and my 4 year old son did just that and almost ran me over.i checked and the vehicle had no keys in it they were with me in my tool box because i didn't want him to do just that.

In route to open gym for my 3yr old, after exiting expressway in traffic approx 5-7mins, suv shuts off. After it shut off it would nt start for approx 4 mins, it did not fully crank yet cranked, in a putting pattern, i was able to pull it out of traffic into an office park located at 3525 piedmont rd ne atl, ga 30308 in front of building 7 entering from piedmont rd. Once parked, my temp gauge was on hot panned hard right, the suv would not start, i allowed it to cool down to halfway, during that time i made 4 attempts to start the suv. Each time it would putter, or sound as if it was out of gas. Once suv cooled to half i attempted to start and it started in the same putter fashion as before, yet appearing to catch as if it was start normal, all the while smoking out the back a slight pop could be heard coming from underneath the front of the vehicle, yet as it appeared to start i would give it gas with hopes that it would catch and then it just shut off and started smoking and there was a noticeably different odor that my 3 yr old and i smelled, from there i got out of the truck to see if the smoke was coming from the radiator, since the temp gauge was just on hot, i notice there was a fire burning in the lower back of the engine region, i immediately lowered the hood due to not having anything to prop it open with, i immediately got my 3 yr old son out of the vehicle to safety, i return to get his car seat and anything to hopefully salvage, i then return to the suv to put out the fire out as best i could, i appeared to out on both sides and just smoking badly. Called a ride to take me and my 3yr old home. The following day i checked the suv, the engine area, hood, front windshield had completely burned, there is no hood area, the hood is in the windshield, and everything else forward chard and melted, to the yellow pieces, iwas able to take photos, and a video.

Takata recall. My jeep randomly and frequently loses connection with the electronic shift module, when this happens it gets stuck in random gears and it will not move fast (safely) when i accelerate unless the car is restarted but then it'll happen again almost immediately after. This happens almost every time i stop, and sometimes happens while driving. This is a well known issue with the 05-10 model yearsthat jeep has swept under the rug and ignored for years. It has caused damage to my cars transmission and has made me feel unsafe driving my vehicle.
Engine stalls when coming to a stop. This stalling at a stop only happens a few minutes into driving and disappears after about 1/2 hr of driving. The stall can be prevented by pushing the (automatic) transmission into neutral. (i.e. This looks to be a transmission control problem, not an engine idle problem). Jeep dealer had car for two days and was able to reproduce stall but could not find cause and fix the problem. There is no check-engine light on.
My jeep jumps to third gear randomly, and it ends up jittering and shaking. My car got stuck so many times and ended up being stalled on a busy highway and almost got into an accident. I was once parked and had shifted to drive but instead the jeep suddenly jumped to 3rd and my car started to go backwards and ended up hitting another car behind me. I had to pay the guy $500 and also got all the fluids and oils changed in hopes of getting this fixed, but to no avail. Yesterday, i spent $450 on these fluid and oil changes only to have the problem continue. Thousands of people are having the same issues and jeep has no answers.you guys need to do a total vehicle recall since jeep has no answers. Many people can die from this defect. I have a video to prove the car jumping to third and all the issues i just described.

After application of safety recall n23/ nhtsa 13v-175. Reprogram final drive controller module. 2005 - 2010. (wk) jeep grand cherokee. 2006 - 2010. (xk) jeep commander, the transfer case of our car could not be shifted out of 4-high to either neutral or 4-low. Consequently a major drive train component has been destroyed. This demonstrates the software is defective and potentially dangerous and may not correct the reason for the recall.thousands of jeep vehicles subjected to this recall have suffered the same loss of function. How does nhtsa, or we, know the safety problem is actually fixed? it is obvious the software used in this recall was not subjected to sufficient testing to validate it. I therefore fear my car is just as liable to have a safety defect as before the recall. What are you going to do to make my car safe?

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! its quite obvious from the first recall only three months after its manufacturer date this truck was meant to fail...!!! so please stop the duct it fix it or[xxx] it!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Been waiting sometime for the dealer to get his part for my recall in addition to this the transmission seems to be smoking and the motor is running erratic i believe this is a big piece of junk and government should buy back.

Was driving it from yogurtland was driving it from yogurtland only a few miles away on the way back it was smoking like a freight train the tranny was slipping in the motor is running erratic
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee, took in in my dealer in aug, 2013 for a safety recall (n23). First time i tried to shift it into neutral, it flashed a "service 4wd system", and would not shift into either neutral or 4low. Jeep forum, with 70 pages and hundreds of comments on this problem, looks like the recall software update is the problem and chrysler has not yet owned up the issue. Meanwhile, i cannot use my vehicle as intended. My dealer says i need a $500 part, but others have had that replaced and still have the same problem. There are about 2,000 transfer case actuator motors on back order to correct this problem; however, many who have had this part replaced still have the same problem. The new part is not fixing the issue, jeep needs to replace the final drive control module and the transfer case actuator motor.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee (firstincident) while turning a corner at approximately 15-20mph revved up, would not shift, and prnd were all lit up on the dash, as well as the engine light came on. After a few starts the engine light has gone off. Second incident, from dead stop at a light and accelerating, same issue. Engine light goes off again. This has now occurred 4 times within 2 months and is a safety hazard considering the fact that your speed drops down out of no where and can potentially cause a serious accidents, causing harm to car a drivers, especially behind you, them not being aware that you are suddenly about to drop speed without brake lights!
My airbag light has come on and it, has me scare of what might happenand my truck drives like it has a transmission problem. It takes a while changing gearmy steering wheel make a loud clicking sound as i turn.. While driving turning.there are so many problems with this truck from day one..
Jeep n23 recall to fix inadvertent shifting of transfer case into neutral locks up control module.vehicle transfer case will not shift anymore.chrysler denies the effect, although thousands of jgc are now crippled.they recently (7/29/14) released a software update (http://www.wkjeeps.com/tsb/tsb_wk_2102214a.pdf) to the fdcm, the same module the n23 recall flashed.however, they are charging customers to update after the first flash for n23 locked transfer case in position.they are trying to continue to fix the n23 problem but without cost.
Well they say third times a charm...or will it be death? the first incident happened when i was alone in the vehicle as i was making a left hand turn across traffic my jeep just shut down leaving me powerless..by that i mean nothing no steering no breaks no nothing! thank the gods there was no oncoming traffic at the time. The second time was a bit more nerving as my 6 year old son and myself were on the highway keeping up with the 65-70 mph flow of cars,suv's & tractor trailers when all of the sudden my engine power just slumbered off to a crawl. If i had been in one lane over and 3 seconds behind we would not be here today to tell this unsightly story! again thank the gods for looking over us or it would be another statistic on the road and another young child left without a mother (my daughter that wasn't with me at the time)so i ask how many must die or get injured before manufactures man up to their mistakes? the loss of money is nothing it can be replaced but lives can not!!!
My transmission fills with water causing it to downshift hard to 3rd gear. I triple flushed the transmission and it was running alright for approximately two weeks, then it filled with water again and i now have the same problems that i had before. I see there was a recall for the vehicles with the 3.7, but i have the v8 and would like to know what i can do about this problem.
Nhtsa veh rec # 14v-4387-still unresolved due to part availability - there have been more than two-dozen instances where jeep vehicle has shut itself down rendering all driver safety / control features (brakes, steering, air-bags) completely off!this vehicle failure happens at different speeds, direction (fwd-rev) while turning, going straight, uphill & down etc - this jeep vehicle will shut off without warningsince the key is in the on position, accessories (radio, wipers, fans etc) will remain on making it very difficult to detect that the engine has stopped and there is a zero engine power.it's not until you realize you've lost propulsion (passing or going uphill), slowing down, or loss of power assist steering and breaking, that you begin to react and try to restart the jeep.the first reaction is often panic driven breaking and getting out of harms way.today (3/19/2015) was my worst experience yet!driving ~35 mph on 2 lane road w/ mod-heavy morning traffic around me (7:15am) and this jeep shuts itself off. The car directly behind me swerved to avoid me as i had no power, and could not safely get out of the flow of traffic!i find it totally reprehensible that as of yet, there are no parts available to fix thus known defect!this is a 2005 vehicle - w/ a recall date of sept 3 2014, more than six months ago, and as of today, because it's my primary vehicle, i risk my, & family lives, all the while jeep and the us gov't have known about its defect.i expect jeep and the us gov't will defend and hold me (and any other drivers of this vehicle) harmless against any undesired events caused by this defect. Please respond if possible.

Problem is manufacturer is not producing these computers anymore and can't find one anywhere, also can't be repaired.

This demonstrates the software is defective and potentially dangerous and may not correct the reason for the recall.the jeep cannot be towed in neutral, and 4-low, a feature i specifically required in a vehicle, is now useless!this could have been avoided by completely replacing the fdcm instead of a poorly constructed software "fix."

The contact veered to the shoulder of the road and managed to drive at low speeds to an independent mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle, but was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to jim koestner inc (218 n main st, plainwell, mi 49080, (269) 685-6854) to be diagnosed again, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 13v175000 (power train, electrical system). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 131,000.

Vehicle will not shift into correct gear when accelerating from a dead stop. Tops out at 3,000 rpms at 60mph. This is an intermittent problem. But will at least happen 2 times a day. When it happens you have to pull over and shut off the engine off and restart. This most likely will fix the problem. This is very dangerous when intraffic.this typically happens when you stop at a traffic light and start to take off. I had the censers changed in the transmission but didn't fix the problem. The vehicle has less than 100,000 miles on it. It is getting worse every day know.
When driving my jeep around say anywhere above 25 mph, if i let off the gas pedal, the front end nose dives and a loud clunk is felt like the transmission fell out.maintenance is up to date, gas has no water, it just does this every single day. So i have to drive my jeep a certain way in order to try to avoid this beating on the transmission. Another version of this is for example: i go to pass a car i step on the gas, the transmission kicks down like it should but when i'm ready to slow down after passing a loud clunk! and the vehicle nose dives again like someone had put it in 1st gear at 50mph.about 50% of the time after this happens my rpm's will stay very high like when it drops down for passing it wont shift down for the speed im doing it wants to stay in the passing gear.there has been even times when its really bad, and the rpm's wont regulate down i have to pull over put the vehicle in park and start over.its very exhausting and hazardous with this transmission and this jeep. Nothing but problems.

I believe this recall applies to my vehicle.i have the v6 and same transmission it affected over 100,000 vehicles.a mechanic looked at the vehicle and confirmed the leak and shutter of the torkconverter.i bought the vehicle around the date of the recall issued and perhaps the dealership did not perform the fix prior to sale.please help i don't want my car to go on fire.recall id # 05v396000 - power train:automatic transmissionrecall date: sept 14, 2005component: power train:automatic transmissionmodel affected: grand cherokeeunits affected: 101925summary: on certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 3.7l engines and nag1 automatic transmissions, the air conditioner evaporator condensate water may enter the transmission at the fill tube grommet seal. This can result in shudder during torque converter clutch engagement.consequence: it can lead to increased transmission operating temperatures, boiling of the water, and a subsequent purging of transmission fluid into the engine compartment potentially resulting in an underhood fire.remedy: dealers will inspect the transmission for leakage at the fill tube grommet seal. If no leak is detected, a new fill tube grommet seal and water deflector shield will be installed, and proper alignment of the fill tube verified. If the presence of a leak is detected, the vehicle will be evaluated for shudder during torque converter engagement. If no shudder is detected, the transmission will be triple flushed, and new fill tube grommet seal and water deflector will be installed and proper alignment of the fill tube verified. If shudder is detected, the torque converter will be replaced, a new fill tube grommet seal and water deflector will be installed, and proper alignment of the fill tube verified. The recall began on october 31, 2005.
2005 jeep grand cherokee.consumer writes in regards to transmission failure and seeks reimbursement for repairs.the consumer stated in february 2011, she parked her vehicle overnight in her garage, after having driven it throughout the day without problems.

On may 22, 2014 i took my 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited 4 x 4 with 5.7l hemi engine for recall #n23 reprogram final drive control module. The mileage at that time was 93758. After that "fix" everything seemed to run okay then on july 2, 2014 due to a grinding sound in the rear, my sons father in law checked the codes and found the emergency brake tone ring show. Also on the dashboard a "service 4 wheel drive system" message appeared. He replaced the right rear hub assembly and both emergency brake shoes, but when he went to test drive the vehicle, he said it wouldn't shift correctly. I believe he said it wouldn't shift out of 4 wheel low. Vehicle did also stallalso he said. He checked internet and found loads of reports of this model and year jeep vehicle having problems only after having the n23, nhtsa id# 13v175000. Recall "fix" performed. Mine was done at tri-cities chrysler, dodge, jeep, ram at kingsport, tn.it appears to be a computer related problem, as that's what was reprogrammed for the recall. I am disabled and need the jeep to haul my handicapped scooter and me with my wife driving. It's essential that it's not out of service. I called the aforementioned dealer service department today and spoke to "greg" who said he could check it out. I had my sons father in law call him to fully explain what was dysfunctional as he was the one that experienced the problem and thus fully tell [xxx] about it. I was told that [xxx] said we could tow it in at our expense (not drive it) and he'd check it, but until a recall notice is received , anything done would be charged to me. Please expedite these thousands of complaints asap. I need my vehicle. I don;t have bus or taxi service, and with my disabilities (fused left hip, mainly) i can't ride in most vehicles because of leg room.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Took jeep in for recallcompleted some odd miles down road 4wd low would not engage took back to dealer after internet findings of a bad recall( they make some by pass software instead of actually fixing the computer chip that cracks in transfer case)anyway they reset worked for a week maybe and again low didn't work anymore back to dealer they had new software jeep was reflashed on way home service 4wd system light on all the time took back to the dealer they reflashed it again n told me they'd have to contact chrysler if it happened again went out started jeep lights back on and back thru the door into dealer now i gotta wait for some star technicians to come look at it who nos how long that'll take. Fighting with them over this recall for years is ridiculous if they woulda just fixed it the right way i'm sure these issues wouldn't happen. O and also the interior door handles are junk plastic n break n will cause u to be unable to safely exit in a fire!! this recall has takin to long to get fixed n chrysler should do something about it!!
On june 11, 2013, i pulled into a convenience store parking lot. I put my (2005 jeep grand cherokee) in park & got out (the engine was still running). After a moment or so, my jeep started rolling forward. It rolled between the fueling islands & it was headed towards the street. My jeep hit a yellow pole & that stopped it from rolling into the street. (the yellow pole is a safety pole that protects the fire hydrant). I am 100% confident that i put my jeep in park before i got out of it. I was shocked & scared when i saw it rolling down the lot. I filed an accident claim with my insurance company. The damage was around $6,000. My deductible was $500. Today, (august 13, 2013), i received a safety recall notice from chrysler. The reason for the recall is the "final drive controller module software may unintentionally cause the transfer case to shift into the neutral position without input from the driver. This condition could allow the vehicle to roll away inadvertently while the vehicle is parked and cause a crash without warning."i was (and i still am) 100% confident that i put my vehicle in park before i got out of it. What are my options at this point? my insurance company paid the claim & i paid my deductible. Now, my insurance rates will go up. Who should be responsible for this? how do i proceed?
While driving my 2005 jeep(with my 2 year old daughter in the back)on a friday evening my dashboard lightsand headlights went nuts. They flashed on and off for about 30 seconds and it was pitch black-i was going about 60mph. I decided to take it really slowly but keep on driving,i had issues earlier this year with some shifting module.i really get freaked out about this stuff when my daughters in the car but it was fine for the rest of the weekend .then monday comes. I was on the highway doing about70mph when it happened again. This time it was not my front lights but it was the dashboard again for about 2 minutes. I called chrysler because i have a power-terrain warranty i thought it my be covered. But i need to pay to have it diagnosed-not easy in december right before the holidays. The other problem is a "pop" or "lock" when i'm driving. It seems to be coming from the back. Almost like the brakes locking???and again have to pay to just have it diagnosed. What happen to the public calling and explaining the issue and the tech saying"oh i know what that is"or "yea sounds like your blank is loose" i just bought this not even 2 years ago and already dumped over $1000 for parts. It seems like a lot of others are having these issues. Diamler chrysler should recall these issues for safety purposes.
When i'm driving about 55-60 mph, my laredo starts to shake very bad to where i have to come to a complete stop in order for the shaking to stop. This problem is starting to become worse as time goes on. Now when i reach 40-45 mph it happens. I was told this maybe the torque converter. I do not feel safe to drive it. I seen where there was a recall but not sure if my jeep was one that needed the work. Any info and have there been similar events?
Will go into 3rd gear when it is started and has to be turned off and restarted before it will go into drive. Also it shows a code of " service 4x drive"at random times.
Transmission stuck in 3rd gear while driving down the road.
After receiving n23 recall software update,when attempting to engage 4wd low in a low traction situation,the transfer case motor would not shift due to damages resulting from the software change.the software update was issues to bypass problems occurring from an often damaged part,rather than repairing or replacing the part itself.because if this,the software change has negatively affected numerous vehicles 4wd low capabilities,rendering them useless in emergency situations.
2005 jeep grand cherokee 5.7l stalls while driving, goes into limp mode constantly while driving or stationary, unintended acceleration while stationary and surges forward when brakes fully applied. Also got the recall for ignition issue but no parts available so have to be careful till then. Ignition recall is even stated to be a temporary fix. Electrical issues cause sever safety concern for customer safety. No warning when issue will happen. Replace parts stated by professional diagnostic and still have same electrical issues.
2005 jeep grand cherokee.consumer writes in regards to transfer case actuator recall problems.the consumer stated he complied with the recall notice he received in the mail. The dealer reprogrammed the final drive controller module. Four weeks later, the vehicle caught on fire.the consumer stated he didn't have any problems with the vehicle, prior to the recall repair.the consumer stated after a short time of driving on the expressway, it felt as though the vehicle was not shifting into the next higher gear and would not shift into the higher gear when he pressed the accelerator. While driving in the right lane, the vehicle went into neutral on its own and the vehicle began to coast. When he looked in the rear view mirror, he noticed gray smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle and then the gray exhaust smoke, turned black. Within less than a minute, the consumer was on the shoulder and two-inch red flames began emitting from under the hood.then the flames were five to six feet high above the car hood. The local fire department and police were called to the scene.
After having safety recall n23 done to my jeep grand cherokee 5.7l i have since been locked out of 4-wheel low. The n23 safety recall for my vehicle has not worked as it has created another safety issue by me not having my 4-low in a state (colorado) that i use 4-low in for winter and for recreation use. I was almost trapped in the cold mountains due to not knowing the n23 recall deactivated my 4-low. Not only if this a safety issue but my vehicles value has diminished greatly as now it's a 2wd vehicle.

Back in februaryi got notice of the following recall and had it performed eventhough was not having the problem.safety recall n23/ nhtsa 13v-175. Reprogram final drive controller module. 2005 - 2010. (wk) jeep grand cherokee. 2006 - 2010. (xk) jeep commander, after this recall was perfrom 4low would not work. We were able to reset the module by resetting a fuse but, this only lasted a few months.in june the 4low stopped working again.because we heard there was a new service bulletin out we took it back again for another flash.this time they were also wanting to replace the acutator motor, which was not available. Other people who have had this part replaced have been unsucessful. On top of this my dealer was telling me i had to pay for this part and they are claiming it is not tied to the n23 recall.we have not paid to have this part replaced because i don't feel i should have to pay for something that is chryslers doing. It is clear that the software updates have caused these issues to arise and chrylser is not owning up to it.i feel nhtsa needs to inforce that when a recall is made it truely needs to be done and the fix really works.if issues arise with a recall nhtsa needs to make sure the company makes it right.the chrysler customer care center is a joke. No one can answer your questions, concerns and calls are not return.making us go back and forth for updates that continue to not fix the real problem and making us replace parts that don't fix the problem is not the right solution.it forces consumers to not have recalls performed. Nhtsa needs make chrylser answer and fix this correctly.a vehicle that cannot go into 4low or neutral is just as unsafe!
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.
Vehicle is an automatic, suddenly attempted to manually shift into a lower gear. The vehicle suddenly slowed down to 5 miles an hour and the rpms started to red line. Check engine light came on and stayed on all day. This has happened numerous times in the last few months without warning.

First off the transmission wasn't shifting right. I was like it was getting stuck in 2nd gear or something. The rpms were raising high before it was shifting. Then my check engine came on, took it in to get a the code read code was p0700 and p0562 and p0750so we changed the battery, the throttle body and had the transmission fluid and filters changed. Still same problem. Check engine light is still on with the same code . Took it to a transmission shop they said it is the solenoid pack. Now i have read a lot of the jeep chrysler forums and a whole lot of these jeeps have had the same issue with the transmission. So i want to know how you can sell such an expensive vehicle with so many transmission issues. And why there has not been a recall on these transmissions. This is a big safety issue!!i think you need to fix or replace the transmissions in these jeeps!! a recall should be done asap on these transmissions!!! i am extremely disappointed in chrysler, dodge and jeep. I have not seen a recall as of yet on these transmissions. Yet there are so many people who have the same issues with these transmissions. I called chrysler and they said there were no recalls yet on this transmission. I expect a call or email about this concern asap. Thank you, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2005 jeep at car wash. Putting jeep from park to drive jeep went into high rev and struck car six feet in front of it. I have been involved with four of these and have special instructions for anyone handling these very unsafe vehicles.
After application of safety recall n23/ nhtsa 13v-175. Reprogram final drive controller module. 2005 - 2010. (wk) jeep grand cherokee. 2006 - 2010. (xk) jeep commander the transfer case of our car could not be shifted out of 4-high to either neutral or 4-low. Consequently a major drive train component has been destroyed. This demonstrates the software is defective and potentially dangerous and may not correct the reason for the recall.thousands of jeep vehicles subjected to this recall have suffered the same loss of function. How does nhtsa, or we, know the safety problem is actually fixed? it is obvious the software used in this recall was not subjected to sufficient testing to validate it. I therefore fear my car is just as liable to have a safety defect as before the recall.there are several consensus standards for the testing of software, they were developed by ieee, ansi, iso and ul to name a few.we own a second jeep grand cherokee. We refuse to have this recall performed on our second vehicle until this problem, and any others that may be hidden in the poor design of the software, are corrected.
The vehicle was parked and i attempted to start the vehicle. The car was operating properly 3 minutes prior to attempted starts. The first attempt, the engine fired up and revved up but immediately died. Subsequent attempts were similar. After about 4 or 5 attempts, there was a large rattling noise and the engine became impossible to start. After towing the vehicle to a mechanic and having them open up the engine, we found that the valve seat had dropped out from the cylinder heads and must have caused the engine to operate incorrectly. The valve seat had shattered into many tiny pieces, which most likely caused the rattling noise. Upon investigation i have found that the valve seat dropping out is a common issue on the 5.7l hemi engine in my jeep as well as other vehicles manufactured by dodge and chrysler. This is unsafe and should require the immediate action of chrysler to recall these vehicles and permanently fix the problem with their valve seats.

The jeep will randomly not want to begin driving after putting into drive from a stationary position and then you will hear and feel a loud "thump" and the transmission gets stuck in 3rd gear.most of the time i can turn the car off and back on to fix it but sometimes it doesnt work that easily. This happens at least 2-3 times per week.

June of 2014 and still to this day the gear shift can be moved from "p" to any gear, and that is when no keys are in the ignition/and no foot on the brake.i was working under the hood and my 4 year old son did just that and almost ran me over.i checked and the vehicle had no keys in it they were with me in my tool box because i didn't want him to do just that. I checked out the situation to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and to my surprise and still til this day, i can enter the vehicle with no keys and no foot on the brake just reach in and move the gear shift from "p" to any gear resulting in the clunk of the transmission and rolling of the vehicle. This is very unnerving and would like this to be fixed.i have read countless articles and blogs about this exact same problem.
Sometimes when i drive the engine feels like it stalls out and my rpm's don't move, all the boxes around prnd light up and the check engine light comes on. I have to pull over and put the car in park or sometimes i have to turn it off. Once this is done the car continues to drive like nothing happened but the check engine light will stay on for a day. Sometimes it happens on the highway which is very scary to just drop speed down to 40. I have read many blogs about this issue. It happens at random times.

My 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo (3.7 liter v6) has about 78,500 miles. In 2018 my jeep had an engine service soon light incident. I had the obdii read by o'reilly auto parts for the failure codes. The codes downloaded were u0404 & p0700. I went to my mechanic and he stated, 'drive it for a while and it should go away', he was right - the failure code (dash light) went away.now, feb. 7, 2020 my engine service light went on. Again i went to o'reilly auto part to have the obdii error codes read. Again, the error codes came up u0404 & p0700.i did some research (on the web) and found a youtube video that addressed these two exact failure codes. Please see the youtube video, web address, below that explains the failure and repair. Https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yd71knuo2authis video clearly shows the reason for these two error codes. The shifting console printed circuit board (pcb) has allowed (over time) the transfer of material between the different drive selection points (drive, reverse, park) on the pcb to be short circuited (bridged) causing a false signal to the other control devices.this is not listed as a serviceable item by jeep. As a result jeep is responsible for this failure because they do not state that this is a service preventable failure.thank you for considering my complaint.

I stop the transmission start like slide and then 3 to four minutesa lot of smoke on my hood i stop open the hood it was oil everyware i was scare i think my charokee got flames so run to a house
I recently took my jeep into the dealer service center to remedy the last recall pertaining to the software flash of the final drive control module.the day before i took my jeep in i had used the 4 wheel drive low. My jeep showed no symptoms of the recall and had no proper incidents yet i decided to take it in to have the task completed to avoid any future problems.since the day i took it in (10/5/2013) i had not used my 4 wheel drive low until thanksgiving day.when i went to use it the transfer case did absolutely nothing and the message "service 4wd system" appeared on the dash.i have asked the dealership to take a look at it and have gotten nowhere expect to be treated rudely and have them extremely resistant to looking into the problem.without even looking at my vehicle they kept telling me that the issue i am experiencing had nothing to do with the flash as they claim the flash affected the transmission park position sensor.when i read the tab "n23" it precisely names the transfer case as the affected component.please help.please!
This has happened a lot. While driving all the intrument lights will flash, causing the ac/heater to turn off and on, headlights to go off, and traction control to turn off. Twice recently the vehicle has shifted itself into reverse with the gear selector still in drive. I have taken it to a shop and they went through the entire electrical system and could not find a source for this problem. All jeep owners i have talked with (over 30) have this exact same issue. This is extremely unsafe and jeep needs to be held responsible.
The n23 recall was performed which was a software update that now recognized that the transfer case actuator motor was bad.the dealer replaced the transfer case motor at a cost to me of $900.after 3 months of driving the "4wd system" error pops up again on my dash and i can't put my vehicle into 4wd lo again.apparently, there is a service bulletin about this - service bulletin number: 21-022-14 rev. A.no one from chrysler informed me about this so i had to research the problem for hours on my own.this is bad business and the public should be informed of this.
The transmission would not shift unless the traction control light was lit. All or some of the dash lights flash sporadically. The results have been two destroyed transmissions. Neither chrysler dealers nor chryslerhave been able to suggest a solution.
Transfer case malfunction....says "service four wheel drive system soon" on the dash computer. Does not go away.no part available to repair. Jeep says thousands are on back order
To this day my 4 wheel drive has not worked and the dealer that i took it to just said that this wasn't covered under the recall, i think they still got paid by doing nothing to it and now i get another recall for something i haven't had problems which then i'll take it in for them to do nothing to it and still get paid for fixing nothing, what i would really want is for them to fix my 4 wheel drive, i could never get it to work when i needed to use it in the snow, it would just keep sliding and would never change to 4 wheel drive, thank you.
Car made a whining noise at 35-45 m.p.h. Bought new tires and alignment. It turned out to be the rear differential. It was rebuilt for $1200. One week later it made a higher pitched whine. A chrysler employee told me that beginning in 2005, chrysler outsourced for cheaper bearings,and they were defective. He said they are no longer made. A whole new diff and axles had to be installed for another $2800. It still whines at all speeds now. Chrysler said "live with it!', and expect it to fail repeatedly. The case had been set wrong at the factory as well. There are hundreds of these cases on-line,but chrysler refuses to acknowledge them.
Engine quit while own shifting on automatic transmission. Went out of gear and had to pull a side without engine power.
While driving on the freeway, the vehicle suddenly shifted itself into 3rd gear.paddle shifting was inoperable and vehicle will up or down shift.error codes given are p0700, and p0406.problem seemed to resolve after restarting vehicle, but then shifts again after a couple of minutes.now vehicle stays in 3rd gear permanently.fluid levels ok, guessing it is electrical/computer related issue based on internet research.taking to dealer soon to have final drive controller new software installed based on recall #n23.hoping it is related to that issue.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact received a notification for recall nhtsa campaign id number: 14v438000 (electrical system) and nhtsa campaign id number: 13v175000 (power train) and stated that the part needed was unavailable to repair the vehicle. The dealer was unable to inform the contact of when the part would become available. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
While driving for about 30 minutes, the gears changed from drive to the 3rd gear.transmission reves up and the check engine light comes on.after coming to a stop, and restarting it, it sometimes goes back to drive mode, but reverts back to the third gear, displays "3" and stays there.took it to a mechanic, could not fix. Dealer claims no recalls for this problem, but online blogs show plenty of people with the same problem.help.
I was driving down a local freeway. Had just merged on and began to accelerate. Once reaching 65 mph the vehicle felt liken it slammed on the brakes while my foot was on the accelerator. Only lasted for a second then returned to normal. 1/3 mile later is happened again. It has been going on for about a week now. Have come to realize that it is most likely a torque converter or transmission. There is recalls on the vehicle for ignition also. Which chrysler has yet to resolve. Have they really fixed the transmission issue on this vehicle? or not? this vehicle apparently has caused many people problems and i myself have had two of these exact jeeps. Both have been complete catastrophes. This problem is very scary and very unsafe for any driver. I have no money to fix the problem nor will the dealer or chrysler help with the issue. I hope you can somehow help me. I'm begging you. Please do something about this. So everyone can have a safe experience on the roadways.
While driving the vehicle in drive it slips into gear 3 by itself and when i attempt to accelerate its in limp mode. I always have to pull to the side and shut the vehicle on and restart it several times before it actually shift the ( d ) drive.
After seeing the recall on the 2005 grand cherokee on the national news i contacted jeep in reference to the recall as we owna 2005 grand cherokee. I was informed that because of our model was an a model it was not covered under the recall. We experience our vehicle not shifting properly and have researched the recall and it describes what our problem is and it is the same as the recall. I feel that jeep should honor the recall and make the necessary repairs on vehicles that experience the problems, as it creates a safety hazard when operating the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle would not accelerate and the transmission failed to down shift. Additionally, the transfer case would not shift out of four-wheel high into neutral or four wheel low properly. The failure occurred after the vehicle was serviced under nhtsa campaign id number 13v175000 (electrical system , power train). The vehicle was being taken back to the dealer for the third time due to the remedy not correcting the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 86,300.
While driving my jeep randomly shifts into neutral so i need to pull off the road and put into park then back into gear, and i just got a recall notice for the ignition switch.
I am getting a check engine light about the vehicle selector module it also has on many occasions no engages into gear like it was stuck in neutral even when the shifter is moved back and forth now it seems to not engage into gear for some time and at first start of take off seems to not be fully engaged i saw a recall about the control module already but when i went to the chrysler site and plug in my vin it doesn't show any recalls.
A few weeks/months after the purchase of my jeep about 2 years ago, i noticed that my cruise control had stopped working and the abs light had come. I checked my fuses and relays and they were ok. Then a day or so later i was driving on the interstate and my check engine light and my brake lights came on. My jeep then seemed to downshifted itself. It felt as if the transmission had locked up, it slowed to about 30mph and would not shift onto another gear.i pulled over killed the motor. After a few attempts to drive it, i turned the key over and noticed the break and engine lights were off so i attempted to drive home and was sucessfull. This started to happen more and more often. I noticed that it mainly happened when either i was running my ac or it was wet/raining outside. I then started researching jeep problems and recalls. I came across the daminoncrysler recall no. 13. The recall had described the issue i was having, so i researched my vin and it staled that the recall no. 13 has already been completed on jeep. Now my jeep is stuck in limp mode and will not reset. It will not shift and the abs, brake and engine lights stay on. Is there a way to find out exactly what service did they did when it was recalled in 2005 (if any)? i dont know what to do
The contact owns 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled and down shifted independently. The check engine light was also illuminated.

The contact received notification ofnhtsa campaign i.d. 13v175000 (electrical system , power train) but did not call the manufacturer or take the vehicle to a dealer. The failure mileage was 74,000.
I bought this vehicle through a finance company so the dealer got paid i pay a note i felt a shudder like lose of power i was told by dealer to put gas treatment in tank it was prob bad gas this was 4 days after i drove off the lot then my grandbaby almost gets run over when i put in gearpark and got out i hear everyone screaming that the jeep was moving i jump in expecting to see it still in drive but to my shock it was in park.this was on day 7 after i drove off lot i drive to work and try to pull off from red light and it was like i had no transmission i have towed to jeep dealership thinking they would know best what is wrong well low and behold i get the whopper of a call to let me know that my jeep was sold to me with issues already cause i have water contamination in my transmission and did i mention their are two recalls on jeep one belongs to mine cause it is the ignition switch that almost ran over grand baby but how convenient for them to tell me that my jeep doesn't fall under the fill tube leaking into my trans recall but yet i have the same problem. How is it so far fetched that the larado's are effected.`so basically i bought a car for 12.500 for it to possibly kill my family by jumping in neutral oh but i guess i don't have to worry bout that recall since my car is sittin in jeep of @@###$$ with a blown transmission can someone else tell me if they have water in transmission without ever being in water mine is leaking from fill tube seal and blew the tourqe converter and now i need a 5000 transmission and everyone is pointing the finger at the other and i am about to lose my job from no transportation cause of this i am a single mother who put her entire savings down on a unsafe deathtrap with a warranty that nobody will honor helpppppp how do i prove my fill tube seal is leaking and try to get this under this recall
We bought a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and use this vehicle to tow behind our motor home from that time until the present.this requires that the transfer case be shifted into neutral before towing. We have had no problems with this shifting procedurefor all of the years that we have owned this vehicle (mileage 67000) until we had a safety recall from chrysler (n23/nhtsa 13v-175 reprogram final drive controller module) preformed on august 23, 2013 by our dealer, the first time we attempted to shift the vehicle into neutral after the recall repair was on september 12, 2013. The neutral shift procedure would not work since this happen right after the recall service work, the service manager decided to reset and reprogrammed the fdcm and it worked.no repair parts necessary.the shifter worked normally for three more times. On november 5, 2013 while on a tripthe same shifting failure occurred.th the dealer replaced the transfer case shift motor.i don't know if they reprogrammed or reset the fdcm. Total expense to us was $790.00 for the repair. It worked two more times. On november 18, 2013 the shifter once again failed.the error code once again indicated that the shift motor needed to be replaced, the same one that was replaced. Since that part had just been replaced the dealer did another computer reprogram and the problem went away.the charge for this procedure was $ 47.40. I have called the chrysler group recall assistance center, every time the shifter failed and every timethey state that it couldn't be an issue with the recall since it was only a software change to correct a neural shifting problem. How could that cause a problem shifting into neutral?i believe chrysler owes all owners with this recall problem a real fix and reimbursement for all expenses due to this faulty recall.
When driving or sitting stationary all lights and gauges go out on the dash board. Was told it was the ignition switch. I had the ignition switch recall performed. Vehicle still randomly has the same issue. Fm radio very bad reception. Numerous postings on internet about both of these issues.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 13v175000 (electrical system , power train). Immediately after the repair was performed, the vehicle would not function in the neutral gear. The vehicle was taken to three different dealers where the actuator was replaced and reprogrammed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,402.
I have a transmission leake. Chrysler recall is e 13.i could not get a dealship to take the vehicle in on friday.called chrysler, they were not really any help, the did provide me the name of a dodge dealership in the area.they took the car friday 11/18/05, said they fixed the recall.the leak is worse that before.just like before i have transmission fluid spraying on the exhaust.this per chrysler's recall letter is a fire hazard.further the recall we recieved yesterday indicates that the transmission should have been flushed and/or the troque converter repalced.neither of these things were done.i have the car back and can not get a return call from the dealeship to get the car back into the shop.
Our 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited gets stuck in 3rd gea and will not shift.it has 12,000 miles and has been in the shop 4 times for the same problem.it is very dangerous because the car will not accelerate in an intersetion and cannot move out of the way of traffic on the highway.the local chrysler service manger in san rafael has told us that he cannot solve the problem and that the chrysler regional manager has not responed to him or to us.the folks at chrysler's 800 numer has told us that they cannot help us and referred us to the dealer.
My jeep transmission is defective and keeps blowing filter off or splitting them...when this happens i am traveling down the road at 60 mph..my vehicle jolts as if i have slammed the gears in park...this could result in major injury if the wheels lock while im going that rate of speed...after extensive research online i have found that many consumers who have 05 jeep grand cherokee are having the same problem however the dealerships seem to deny the fact that there is an issue with the components of the transmission...i have found many consumers have had issues with the transmission control module, shift solenoid, and the filters for the transmission.. This has been a ongoing issue and i am surprised that this has not been recalled...this can happen at any time...while driving down the road...or pulling out in front of traffic....i am worried that i will crash or someone else will crash into me in the event that my transmission fails again...i have had it repaired 6 times over 3 years now for the same issue and no longer feel safe while driving...i would like to have this matter investigated with chrysler, llc so that they may recall the products and take the time to repair these defective transmission components..
2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4x4.the transmission failed at a busy intersection with wife and two children aboard in november 2006.the dealership had to call chhryslerprior to ordering parts because chrysler had a hold"on the parts needed to make the repair.the hold placed on the parts was due to the fact chrysler knew there was a problem with the transmission and wanted to make sure the dealership fixed the problem correctly.since that time, the jeep's "new" transmission hesitates when climbing hills, accelerating etc.i have taken the jeep back to the dealership to have this problem corrected.the dealership and chrysler have acknowledged the problem with the automobile.chrysler described the problem to the dealership as "fish nipping at bait".chrysler's technical team tells the dealership they are working on a new computer program to fix this problem.it has now been 2 months since the diagnosis, and who knows how long since chrysler has been aware of the problem and i still am driving, and paying for, a vehicle that the manufacturer knows is faulty.in addition, i have not been able to receive any satisfaction by calling chrysler's numerous 1-800 numbers.all i have been told is that the appropriate parties have been contacted.who those are i do not know and they would not tell me!my dealership and chryslers technical team have already been in contact and they are aware of the problem!i have been told that the defect the jeep is experiencing will not harm the automobile.i have not once been concerned with the effect the defect has on the automobile but i have been concerned with the effect it has on my wife and i when driving the automobile. I want to know what chrysler plans on doing about selling me a vehicle that has not worked properly for the majority of time i have owned it!their lack of concern regarding their product and the safety of those who drive their product is appalling.
I have a 2005 jeep cherokee with 3,000 miles.i took it in for a transmission seal recall, e13.two days after it was serviced, i was on the highway and the transmission burned up, leaving me stranded.car had to be towed 150 miles to dealer who handled recall.my car has been in the shop a month. I am having to pay daily car rental which has now cost me over $1,200 in addition to having to make a car payment for a car i don't have.i keep getting different answers from dealer, said transmission ordered days ago from new jersey, now says it was ordered yesterday, july 14,he says he can't tell me anything, when, if it is new or rebuilt, or how much longer i have to wait.i have never been treated so rudely by a dealership, manager, and service manager.i will never purchase a vehicle from that dealer again and i am inclined to never buy another jeep product.i am at the point of turning the car back and seeking legal action if something isn't done about this outrageous situation.
Dt:the contact purchased a 2005,jeep chrysler cherokee ,and before it had 5,000 mileson it they had to put in a new transmission .it was not changing gears properly,and there was asmell coming from the car like plastic burning. She noticed this from the time she bought the vehicle.on 8-2-05 she tookvehicle to dealer for anoil change.when she drove it home it started to shake very badly. She took it backto the dealer, and they told her they had to flush her transmission 4 times because it had water in it.also, theair conditioner (ac) hose was leaking into the transmission. They were waiting on thepartsto come in to fix it.chrysler told her they could not authorize a rental/loaner car to drive.
Dt*:the contact stated the check engine light illuminated and transmission fluid leaked from the vehicle.the vehicle was returned to the dealer numerous times, but the dealer was unable to accurately remedy the problem.there is a nhtsa recall, # 05v396000 concerning the automatic transmission however the recall did not correct the problem.afterwards, the transmission would not shift properly.the vehicle is having the same problems as indicated in the recall again.also, the dealer suggested the automatic control of the sunroof assembly which failed to work properly was related to the ongoing transmission problem as well, but no further repairs were made.
I bought a brand new 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo, within weeks i started to notice the upholstery was not treated, it would stain with the slightest bit of condensation or rain. After about 8-12 months i started to feel it getting sluggish when accelerated but the problem was intermittent. Brought it in to dealership and they said no problem was detected. The real problems started after i had the vehicle 2yrs..check engine light would come on, gears would stick, engine would roar up to 4.5 rpms and would not accelerate. This would happen in rush hour traffic, on ramps to the higway, green lights etc.. I almost got creamed by an 18 wheeler. The vehicle would buck and sputter. If i kept my foot on the gas it would eventually clunk into gear.it had been to the dealership 6 times. At one point they replaced they transmission module..that did not fix the problem. It started to get tiresome, dealership was condenscending claiming "they could not duplicate the problem." no luck with gm's ,serv mgrs, and the chrysler corp. Chysler does not honor their warranties or care about their customers. I feared for my life in the vehicle and just traded it in, upside down,yesterday. I had no fight left in me. This was the worst experience you could imagine buying a brand new suv. Something needs to be done before someone is fatally injured.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign id number 05v396000 (power train:automatic transmission).the vehicle was taken to the dealer to have the recall repair performed.a few months later, the failure recurred.when the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, they discovered that only part of the recall work was done.the dealer and the manufacturer are refusing to perform the recall repair because the contact is the third owner of the vehicle.the failure mileage was 67,000.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 35 mph through an intersection on normal road conditions, the engine stalled and could not be restarted.there were no warning lights prior to the incident.the vehicle was towed to the dealership, who diagnosed a fuel pump and fuel injection pump failure, both were replaced.after this incident, the vehicle presented transmission problems.the contact noticed a loss of power while driving 65 mph on a highway.intermittently, the transmission made noise when shifted to second gear.the vehicle had been taken to the dealership 20 times, however no error codes identified the defect.in one of the incidents, the yellow malfunction light illuminated and the dealership identified the defect as the computer control module and the driver shaft, both were replaced, however the transmission problem persisted.the dealership determined the vehicle could not be repaired.the manufacturer was contacted who recommended to take the vehicle to a different dealership. The vehicle was not downshifting when going up hills and it would get stuck in second or third gear. The a/c and blower motor were inoperative, the dealer could not duplicate the consumers concern. The key became stuck in the ignition. All the dashboard lights were flashing, the cd player was broke. The brakes and rotors vibrated. The starter was replaced. The driveshaft and heater were replaced. The seats would not move back. The seat belts did not retract as they should. Updated 01/17/07. Updated
Receiveda recall notice to replace the transmission fill tube oil seal over two weeks ago and cannot get the dealership to replace it.the letter states that it is urgent that this be replaced or there could be a fire under the hood of my car.the dealership keeps telling me that they do not have the part to replace it. Why do they not have the part to replace this defective part? i need some help.
The vehicle is a 6 cylinder with a nag 1 transmission, 30000 miles,transmission surges and does not want to change gears while accelerating. Dangerous on highway... Cannot pick up speedhad been shuddering at various times.vehicle does not seem to know how to shift properly and hesitates when accelerating or pulling in to trafficcheck engine ligth come on every friday and come off on saturdays. I took the car to dealer 5 times and every time they have a new upgrade for the computers but no fix, is a safety isue!!!!
Vehiclehas transmission issues and began at 641 miles after purchasing brand new. Transmission hesitation, vehicle does not seem to know how to shift properly and hesitates when accelerating or pulling in to traffic. Has caused several near misses when trying to pull in to traffic, pass on the interstate or safely get out of someone's way. Vehicle has had numerous parts replaced not relation directly to this issue. Vehicle has accelerated on its own when approaching a stop light and has tried to lurch forward without my foot on from the accelerator and firmly applied to the brake. Vehicle has been in for this issue on numerous occasions and manufacturer cannot locate issue. Airbag indicator light is supposed to come on to indicate airbag system is disabled when there is not enough weight in the passenger chair. It not only does this, it comes on and stays on with or without passengers in the chair. It triggers the drivers instrument panel light to come and chime repeatedly. This has been in for repair 4 times now and cannot seem to be rectified. I expect more than this from a brand new vehicle and feel i have not been treated fairly by chrysler when trying to address this issue.
Jeep 2005 grand cherokee.on several occasions, attempted to accelerate onto highway from 40 mph and engine just revs, tachs to 5 or 6 and still only going 40 mph in the meantime numerous close calls to getting hit by oncoming cars and trucks on highway because the jeep simply isn't moving fast and just revving.taken to dealer for complaint and repair at least 3-4 times and dealer states they can't "duplicate" the problem so "they are unable to fix it".i am told "nothing is wrong". I fear somebody will eventually get severely injured or killed due to this problem.stuck in a lease of an unsafe vehicle.
2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo with 36,000 miles on it, torque converter was replaced at 28,000 miles due to vehicle shuddering at various speeds upon acceleration, vehicle was fine until now, 36000 miles and is doing the same thing...
2005 jeep grand cherokee. The vehicle is a 6 cylinder with a nag 1 transmission. The vehicle was bought new in nov, 2005. It has around 17600 miles on it. The vehicle had been shuddering at various times, was inconsistent. Usually around 1500 rpms. Eagle auto mall, local jeep dealer stated nothing was wrong. Coming home from store transmission started to whine and then stopped shifting. Pulling into my driveway engine compartment started to smoke badly, almost went on fire . Turned vehicle off. Observed tranny fluid all over the engine and alot of tranny fluid on the ground. Vehicle was towed to the eagle dealer, who after a week in the shop said there was water in the tranny fluid and that they were going to have to take apart the transmission. Contacted chrysler toldthem that a vin check of my vehicle showed that it was not under the recall they had issued for this model, but there was a safety problem and that a new transmission should be placed in the vehicle.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving at various speeds the vehicle surged forward without warning.the rpms increased very rapidly.upon inspection the dealership determined there was a problem with the electrical system and the transmission.the dealer replaced multiple parts in an attempt to remedy the problem however, the surging problem continued.
Transmission surges and does not want to change gears while accelerating.dangerous on highway... Cannot pick up speed jeep authorized dealer replaced torque converter... Problem still exists.in shop again today for repair.
2005 jeep grand cherokee transmission failed.the consumer was still having problems with the transmission after the recall was performed. When the consumer attempted to pull over, because the transmission would jumped from 4th to first and back to 4th gear.the consumer subsequently crashed into a pole.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While driving approximately 35 mph, smoke was present underneath the hood. When the contact stopped the vehicle in order to inspect it fire was under his feet, under the hood and the entire under carriage of the vehicle. The contact was able to remove a child passenger from the vehicle without any injuries. The fire department arrived to assist with extinguishing the fire. An investigator with the manufacturer took pictures of the vehicle three weeks ago and the contact had not received a follow up call. The insurance company provided the contact with a copy of the recall notice and stated that they were unable to assist him since the failure was mechanical. The contact stated that the vehicle was not completely destroyed but it was severely damaged. There were no warning lights illuminated prior to the failure. Case # 20554289 was filed with the manufacturer. The manufacturer did not confirm if his vin was a part of nhtsa recall 05v396000, power train automatic transmission although the failure was identical. The failure mileage was 115,000.
This is a safety issue regarding the recent recall of the 2005 jeep with transmission problems.because of the transmission problems our jeep stopped dead while we were going 65 miles an hour on the new jersey turnpike. Luckily we were not killed. We had it towed over 100 miles to our dealer on long island (east hills chrysler jeep)to have it fixed.they swore they fixed it a few days later, only for this to happen to us again a month later.we towed it again to our jeep dealer and shortly after we were told, this time it was really fixed.for the third time, a month later, it happened again.after avoiding being killed 3 times, we do not trust they know how to fix this recall.it is a leased jeep and all we want is to be let out of the lease and they refuse.they swear now it is really fixed.did they lie the other 2 times? i am afraid to drive this car or let anyone i love in the car, as well as possibly endanger anyone driving near us.i think this is a huge safety issue that needs to be addressed for the rest of the recalled jeeps, but for us, we just want a different car.this dealer's service department obviously doesn't know how to fix it and this should be investigated. Also, we contacted daimler chrysler''s customer service department numerous times.we were listened to sympathetically but nothing was ever done about it.update: i decided to wait to see if our jeep dealership would do the right thing before i sent this in, but they refused and made us pick it up after they claimed it was yet again really fixed for the third time.a few days later, on december 11th, it broke down again.the car was towed back to them - the 4th time it has broken down from this same problem. Now they are saying there is nothing wrong with the car.this service department does not know what it is talking about.they refuse to do the right thing for us but more importantly, they do not know how to fix a nationally recalled problem.
Dt*:the contact stated while changing the gear from drive to reverse there was a clicking noise.this occurred intermittently.while attempting to apply pressure to the accelerator pedal the engine made a roaring noise and the vehicle failed to pick up speed.the dealership rebuilt the transmission, however no other repairs have been made.the manufacturer has been alerted.updated 6/27/2006 - the vehicle battery would not hold a charge.the headliner had to be replaced because it was unraveling..the sunroof motor had to be replaced.the transmission was rebuilt on 2-27-06 with on 90000 miles.the memory seat did not move back at times when the key was removed from the ignition.the tire pressure monitoring system was inoperative.the power steering pump was binding and had to be replaced.the air bag light illuminated on the dash.the rear windshield wipers were not flush with the windshield.
2005 jeep grand cherokee purchased used with full warranty. 30,000 miles the transmission goes. Took to local dealership for repairs and was treated like dirt. They say they rebuilt the transmission but problem still exists. Clanking, banging, and not shifting at all apparently this is normal for chrysler vehicles because the dealer says there is nothing wrong with it. Surprise now that the warranty is up i wonder if they'll figure out what is wrong. Disgusted with jeep, chrysler will never own another!!!
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo, 3.7l engine, automatic transmission. When driving, the vehicle will just shut off as if the key was turned off, losing all power. The vehicle will start afterwards and the check engine light will stay on for a few hours this has been going on for a couple years. This problem is similar to the recall on the 2008 grand cherokee stalling and i think this problem is more wide spread than chrysler wants to admit. I have an appointment with a jeep dealer who recently relocated in my area next week.
I continue to have an on-going problem with the transmission of my 2005 jeep grand cherokee 3.7l vehicle. It has been in the shop for (4) four service inspections due to a recurring transmission problem. The transmission will "shudder", "miss", "jump" usually between 3rd, 4th, and/or 5th gears between speeds of 30mph - 40mph. The vehicle received (2) two "computer downloads" to try to correct the problem, but it was unsuccessful. The third service trip resulted in no repair being made, due to the service department being unable to find the type of problem that existed. The fourth trip consisted of the "transmission recall" service being performed, again with no change in the performance of the vehicle. While i continue to have the same problem, i am "at a loss" as to how to have the vehicle repaired.
I bought a new 2005 jeep cherokee and began having problems one year after i bought it.ihad multiple problems with the car not starting , but itwas not the battery. Took it to the galeana dealership to getit fixed 5 times and they could notduplicate the problem, and eventually told me there was nothing they could do even though they knew the problem still existed because i videotaped several of the occurrences.the vehicle left me stranded everywhere. Then, the transmission failed , and the car almost caught on fire with me and my two children in it.we had to replace the entire transmission at 22,000 miles.
Rubber/plastic piece that rides along when shifting became bunched up andcouldn't shift into park or drive. Had to cut out the bunched up piece as car was in middle of road. This rubber/plastic piece is part of the shifter bezel trim that keeps dust and dirt from getting into the shifter area. Nothing has been done as dealer wants $720.00 for the part plus labor!!??!!?? this is ludicrous!!!!!!
Dt: the contact states there is nhtsarecall campaign05v396000 concerning automatic transmission. The parts needed to repair the vehicle are not available at the local dealership. Hespoke to the manufacturer, who has confirmed the parts were not available.
I bought new a 2005 grand cherokee limited 2wd 4.7 at approx. 3k miles it seems to have transmission problems shifting into 3rd gear and a shuddering/ missing when cruising at any speed. Sometime when you stop there is a thank you can feel. The dealership i purchased it at doesn't want to service it because i submitted a bad service survey to chrysler. A dealership in the next town told me they would need to replace the transmission. I waited one week for parts to come in then took it to the dealer which told me all it need was a update to the computer which had already been done by the selling dealer. I took it to the next biggest dealership which has worked with me on the transmission problems having it in the shop a week at a time a least twice. They replace seals in the transmission but it hasn't fixed the problem and it seems the more mile i put on it the worse it gets. Now i sometime have a loud roaring noise the sounds like a busted muffler coming from the transmission area.
Transmission: i have a 05 jeep cherokee that has continuously had a transmission shudder problem.while driving, the transmission shudders, feels sluggish, jerking the vehicle forward and backward. It happens while traveling at various speeds, but it is excessive while at the 40 mph & 1500 rpm range.the first time it was taken to the dealership, they did a transmission flush and told me to pick it up. The second time, they ordered, then later replaced the drive line. The third time to dealership, the service technician said they reprogrammed the transmission. It has now been dropped off for the same problem 4 times, and still no remedy. I called the dealership again and told them about a possible recall i read about on the nhtsa website on the problem i was having. The public information specifically suggests a remedy, replace the torque converter (which has not been tried on my vehicle). I asked them why they couldn't use that information to fix my vehicle since it is still under warranty rather than wait to see if a recall is even issued, and i was told that the engineers are working on a remedy for the possible recall i was reading about, and it may not affect my vehicle. So, until that recall is issued, nothing can be done. Air conditioner:on 9/22/05, while vehicle in motion, air conditioner, radio, &all dash lights went off at same time, stayed off for 5 seconds or so, then came back on.5 miles or so later, the same thing happened again. Later on the same day, the air conditioner would only work on the highest setting. On my way to the service appointment the next day, the air conditioner would come on and turn off itself, like it has an electrical short in it or the dash.i can also smell plastic burning/melting but can not locate where it is coming from. Dealership now states that parts are not available to fix the air conditioner, and they do not have any timeline for parts availability. No clue why the dash lights shut down.
Dt: the contact complainedabout transmission problems onthree occasions. The first time the vehicle stalled in traffic, and was towed to the local dealer for repairs. The second time the vehicle stalled, and was returned to the dealer for repairs.the third time the vehicle stalled ,and was again returned to the dealer for repairs. The vehicle has been repaired, but the contact has not picked up the vehicle because he was concernedbout this repair.like all the other repairs it was only temporary. Prior to the third incident the contact received nhtsarecallcampaign 05v396000 concerning the automatic transmission.
Consumer complaint regarding recall on transmission fill tube oil seal.the consumer received recall 05v-460000 and contacted the dealer on nov. 15 to make an appointment to have it repaired.the consumer was disappointed to learn that the next available appointment wasn't until dec 23.the consumer is concerned about the potential of a fire before the vehicle is repaired.
Vehicle has transmission issues and began at 641 miles after purchasing brand new.transmission hesitation, vehicle does not seem to know how to shift properly and hesitated when accelerating or pulling in to traffic.has caused several near misses when trying to pull in to traffic, pass on the interstate or safely get out of someone's way.vehicle has had numerous parts replaced not relation directly to this issue.vehicle has accelerated on its own when approaching a stop light and has tried to lurch forward without my foot on from the accelerator and firmly applied to the brake. Vehicle has been in for this issue on numerous occasions and manufacturer cannot locate issue.airbag indicator light is supposed to come on to indicate airbag system is disabled when there is not enough weight in the passenger chair.it not only does this, it comes on and stays on with or without passengers in the chair.it triggers the drivers instrument panel light to come and chime repeatedly.this has been in for repair 4 times now and cannot seem to be rectified.i expect more than this from a brand new vehicle and feel i have not been treated fairly by chrysler when trying to address this issue.
We leased a 2005 jeep cherokee in january 2005 and in january 2006 everything on the dashboard started to cut off including turn signals, odometer... And everything on the dash including the cd player, the buttons for the heater/ac would overheat and the car began to smoke for no apparent reason.we took it in to galeana, the local dealership and they could not find a problem, which apparently seems to happen quite often with chyrsler automobiles. Shortly after the car began to break down everywhere.if i parked the car at a store, work, home... And went back to start it, it would not crank.this happens 8 out of 10 times and the vehicle has been taken to the dealership 5 times and they could not "duplicate" a problem and now they tell me they can't do anything for me.shortly after that at the end of 2006, as i was driving down the highway a "pebble" as the dealership calls it, went through my grill and hit the transmission coolant, spraying transmission fluid everywhere almost catching on fire with me and my two small children in it.we took it to the dealership and apparently the transmission was blown out, $4,000 dollars to replace.all of our other problems still exists and chrysler does not want to fix the problems or let us out of the lease.i have tried talking to chrysler and getting this issue resolved only to hear them telling me that this was not their problem.this is becoming a trend in their business and if they cannot fix the vehicles they manufactured they should not be making the vehicles in the first place.
I have a 2005 jeep cherokee with a v8 engine that was not included in the recall.my car sat for 5 days while i was on vacation.upon returning the battery was completely dead, i had the battery jumped and drove home from airport.the battery was dead again the next morning, vehicle was towed to dealership.after replacing the battery and an oil change, the vehicle began stalling when stopped at red lights or stop signs.the vehicle was also lunging forward when stopped.i have had the vehicle at the dealership four times for this problem and have gotten the same response "road tested- normal condition at this time".the service rep even called me to tell me he drove the vehicle and thought it was the transmission, that there is a hesitating shift and a jerks hard forward on acceleration.however they were unable to find anything wrong.vehicle has 9,000 miles.
Purchased vehicle on 7-31-06.upon test drive the door locks would nt lock or unlock when using door key (any dr in the car).the remote did work.salesman told us 2 bring it in if it cont'd.taken in 5 times since the 1st time in october 05', dealerships cannot dupt the issue.last dealership said that if he toggled switch about 10 times it happened, but that was just "overheating the button & that is normal".problem is i work in a building w/a prkg garage & work all hrs.when i get into my car, 4 safety i lock the drs immed.there have been several occasions where i can't do that & have 2 wait 2 get the car moving over the 15mi an hour 2 lock the drs.next issue is the delayed engagement in the transmission going 2 rev or drv.the car has been in on 3 occasions for this item of which the dealership clears codes or cannot dupt the issue.this issue became a an issue in a construction zone at a rr track near our home.gates were down when i drove up & i was 3rd car back, the gates went up, 2 cars went through & i was almost at the tracks when the railroad arms started coming down again.i put on the brakes & shifted to reverse 2 back up & the delay nearly caused the rr arm 2 hit the car.i backed up just enough to clear the rr arm by less than 6 inches.the last item is the a/c.since late march of 06'we have been experiencing the a/c blowing cold, then the air turns 2 warm or hot air blowing from 3 sec 2 minutes of blowing humid air before the system will kick in again with cold air.this has been intermittently like the other 2 items above.3 times into the dealerships & again it was stated they fixed it when it wasn't or "it's 114 degrees out, it is going 2 blow warm air"."using outside air will make the a/c blow warm air'.the incident date is hard since there are 3 issues so i put the day of purchase.the failures are also hard to calculate, but since these items happen intermittently & or everyday (a/c) i counted 3 mo worth.
Vehicle transmission has always made strange clunking noises.vehicle began to drop out of gear while driving and then finally (and currently) will completely shut off while driving.this has happened on numerous occasions and dealership says that they cannot duplicate the problem.a customer service manager did tell me that jeep is aware of the problem and this is a common problem among v8 models such as mine but that they just do not know how to fix it so they have not yet issued a recall.however, jeep is putting so many people at risk of an accident.not only the vehicle drive but everyone else on the road around the vehicle.the vehicle now shuts off while in motion driving on a fairly regular basis but with no consistent pattern.$34,000 dollars worth of worry.
I believe this recall applies to my vehicle.i have the v6 and same transmission it affected over 100,000 vehicles.a mechanic looked at the vehicle and confirmed the leak and shutter of the torkconverter.i bought the vehicle around the date of the recall issued and perhaps the dealership did not perform the fix prior to sale.please help i don't want my car to go on fire.recall id # 05v396000 - power train:automatic transmissionrecall date: sept 14, 2005component: power train:automatic transmissionmodel affected: grand cherokeeunits affected: 101925summary: on certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 3.7l engines and nag1 automatic transmissions, the air conditioner evaporator condensate water may enter the transmission at the fill tube grommet seal. This can result in shudder during torque converter clutch engagement.consequence: it can lead to increased transmission operating temperatures, boiling of the water, and a subsequent purging of transmission fluid into the engine compartment potentially resulting in an underhood fire.remedy: dealers will inspect the transmission for leakage at the fill tube grommet seal. If no leak is detected, a new fill tube grommet seal and water deflector shield will be installed, and proper alignment of the fill tube verified. If the presence of a leak is detected, the vehicle will be evaluated for shudder during torque converter engagement. If no shudder is detected, the transmission will be triple flushed, and new fill tube grommet seal and water deflector will be installed and proper alignment of the fill tube verified. If shudder is detected, the torque converter will be replaced, a new fill tube grommet seal and water deflector will be installed, and proper alignment of the fill tube verified. The recall began on october 31, 2005.
The has a tendency to stall when shifting gear while backing up out of the drive after the car has been idle for a period of time. The transmission seems to "clunk" more than a new car should. Also noticed the tendency for the car to stall in stop and go traffic conditions. It seems the transmission is not disengaging properly pulling the rpm below idle. Shifting the car to neutral or giving gas prevents the engine from stalling.

3.7 l jeep grand cherokee laredo with 9,000 miles.first major trip we have (about 500 miles away from home), our vehicle stalled.there was fire under the hood, it's good that the suv stalled in front of the service center or there could be an explosion.we just purchased this vehicle in less than 6 mos.the service center told us that it will take about 2 weeks till we could get our jeep back and it's already 17 days;i made a follow-up and was told that they haven't received the transmission that they've ordered.the service center have us rent a car.called chrysler and we were told that there is only safety concern and our vin number is not included in the recall.how is that possible when in one web page, we saw 18 similar transmission complaints on the same vehicle? chrysler won't cover our car rentals and motel.
I had a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited with approximately 24,000 miles on it. In december 2006 it down shifted itself into low gear while doing a forward speed of approximately 10 mph. I took the car to the local jeep dealer who after keeping it for the day told me that they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. On february 9, 2007 with approximately 27,500 miles on the same vehicle it did the same thing again only this time at a speed of approximately 20 to 25 mph. The vehicle was basically uncontrollable. I took the car back to the dealer who told me once again that there was nothing wrong with the transmission and, in writing, told me to change my driving habits. They assumed i was down shifting the car by mistake. I had so little confidence in the vehicle that i traded it in on a new car. If this should happen at highway speed and the vehicle slips sideways it will roll over.
Dt*: the contact stated in april 2006, the vehicle accelerated on its own nearly causing an accident.the service dealer determined the computer system that runs the transmission was the problem.the computer issue allowed the transmission to leak improperly.also, in october 2006 the vehicle stalled at 30 mph due to all the electric in the vehicle failing.

The automatic transmission of my 2005 jeep grand cherokee ,began acting unusual in mid november 2005. The transmission would clunk when put into drive , thevehicle seemed to hesitate before moving, also on 2 occasions the vehicle would down shift to first gear and then back to drive on its own while in motion. On december 18, 2005 i told the jeep dealer service manger of the problem when i took the vehicle in , i had received from daimler-chrysler a recall notice concerning the transmission , as far as i know the dealership performed the recall repair. The vehicle seemed fine until december 30, 2005 when while traveling on the expressway at 55 miles per hour with the cruise control engaged the vehicle again downshifted to first gear momentarily , all the warning lights came on then shifted back to drive the engine revved up and speed up unexpectedly . I then lost control of the vehicle spinning out and hitting the concrete divider wall of the expressway. The vehicle sustained over $10,000 in damage, luckily there were no injuries to me or my passenger. I have notified chrysler and my insurance company of problem, at this point i have not authorized any collision repairs to this vehicle. Chrysler said they would inspect the vehicle, i await to see what they will do. I don't intend to repair or drive this vehicle again or any jeep cherokee ,for that matter as to its unsafe transmission .
I purchased a 2005 jeep grand cherokee in january 2005.on august 25, 2006, i took the vehicle to normandin chrysler jeep because the check engine light had come on and the car was lurching, making noise and kept sliding into third gear.the car was returned to me after three plus weeks and the first time i drove it, my passenger and i were almost involved in an accident because the car died.the car was immediately returned to the dealership where it has been for over two weeks awaiting a "new" transmission.the car has been in the dealership for a total of 36 of the last 38 days.the car is still at the dealership.
I was driving down the road to go play golf when i noticed an odd sound from the rear end of my 2005 grand limited w/hemi.on the way home i noticed the sound was in all gears and all speeds but much more notable at low speeds.i drove it to the dealership as soon as possible and took a mechanic for a ride and he thought the noise was a bad pinion bearing.after closer inspection they determined the whole rear end of the car needed to be rebuild.15,000 miles and i need a new rear end?for a $42,000 suv this sure is not what i expected.so now i am out of my car for a week to two weeks while they get the parts and rebuild.so now i have a new "rebuilt" suv for the same payments...doesn't seem right at 15,000 miles. Rkm.

The 2005 jeep cherokee has severe problems related to the transmission.i bought this vehicle used with 10,000 miles on.i had 5 transmission related problems within 12 months.two of these problems left the vehicle inoperable; one of which the vehicle almost caught on fire.they replaced the transmission and i was still not happy.i traded in for a 2007 buick lucerne - which has been a great car.no more chrysler products for me!
2005 jeep grand cherokee has major transmission issues. I searched online to see if other people have had the same issue and found many leads. I called the chrysler recall number and they told me there was a recall in 2005 that has already been done on my vehicle in 2005. I took my car to the dealership for a diagnostic and they inquired me with a total of 1700.00 to get this repaired. My car gets stuck in gears, won't accelerate correctly, gets stuck in neutral, revs up on it's own, and it doesn't shift correctly. This is a safety issue that many people have had. This problem occurs every time i drive it.
Dt: two months ago there was an accident after driving about 60 mphon the interstate. The vehicle began to rev u by itself. The brakes were pushed, but the vehicle was still going too fast to stop. The vehicle has both automatic and standard, and the vehicle changed itself to standard. When car was taken to the dealership, they said they couldn't do anything. Owner was afraid to drive it but it was able to run. The owner hasn't driven it since the incident. The car was2005 jeep cherokee. Owner has not called daimler chrysler.
On september 29, 2005 at approximately 8:20am i was coming off of a highway exit ramp, when i came to a complete stop.shortly after coming to that stop, i noticed that my engine began to accelerate (rev) and that the rpm's on the speedometer was on its way down from about 5-6k. Before i had a chance to look back up at the road, my vehicle lunged forward and struck the vehicle in front of me, causing extensive damage to the vehicle in front of me as well as mind. The impact of the collision was so powerful that the vehicle that i struck was pushed into a second vehicle, directly in front of the vehicle i struck. Immediately after the collision my vehicle's engine continued to accelerate (rev), making me shift the vehicle from drive to neutral. Once the vehicle was in neutral, my vehicle stalled out and was completely disabled. Once i restarted my vehicle, i noticed that my vehicle's check engine,throttle ignition and esp (electronic stability program) light/indicator were on. I moved my vehicle from the scene of the accident to a parking lot, about amile down the street and awaited a tow truck, all the while with my vehicle hesitating to accelerate.this is was the third time this has happened. The first time was on 08/17/05, when i came to a complete stop at a highway off ramp, my vehicle lunged forward and then stalled out. Once able to turn on the vehicle, all the above indicator lights came on. I brought it to the dealership and they could not find anything wrong, "we were unable to replicate what you experienced." they also told me that this could have been a result of "bad gas." three hours after leaving the dealership (08/18/05) the same thing happened again. I brought the vehicle back to the dealership, again, and this time they told me, "something is wrong, we don't know what, but something is wrong." eventually, they replaced the vehicle's cpm (computer programming module) and everything seemed great , until 09/22/05 and the accident.
With only 10,500 miles on our leased 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited- the vehicle has spent the last 27 days in a service repair center. The issues began with a rough transmission, car sticking in 3rd gear - "limp mode" (required car to pull over, park & restart to disable limp mode), ac getting hot on acceleration with strong chemical smell, greasy oil leak on inside of cabin out of hood release opening, excessive road noise, check engine light remained on, and easy entry/exit seat not functioning. According to my ten page invoice, the service center replaced the rear drive shaft, entire transmission, almost all the modules (one of which was already replaced for fog light recall), updated firmware, a kick panel and trim on the inside of the cabin that was stained from grease leak, balanced all 4 tires, power flushed, replaced sensors... Amongst other things. My husband and i were informed that the ac unit was leaking into the transmission, that it was a very common problem with the jeeps, 300s and dodges. So serious, in fact, that chrysler may be considering a mass recall to remedy a gross oversight on their part to physically bend a dip stick to fit parts around it- causing a gap at the base of the rubber gasket that enabled water to enter trans (thro wiring harness). It took the service center 45 minutes to explain all the issues with our car & what was done to it to fix it. We've contacted a lemon law lawyer & are looking to take this to the highest level possible. For $40,000 we expect a lot more for our money!! fyi... Trans still rough after all repairs!!!!

I have had the same complaint about my jeep grand cherokee 5.7l automatic transmision as the recall notice described below. That is, 8 out of 10 times, whenever i turn onthe airconditioning (particularly in weather above 90 degrees) the car shutters if asked to pull forward or reverse.this problem is particularly bad and more predictable to occur if reversing; i.e., backing out of a parking space.over the last 3-4 years, i have asked two or three dealerships to look into the matter, citing the recall below, but they said that there is no way my car could have the same problem.one dealer claimed to have adjusted the clutch assembly on the air conditioner -- this did not help.----------------- nhtsa campaign id number:05v396000summary: on certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 3.7l engines and nag1 automatic transmissions, the air conditioner evaporator condensate water may enter the transmission at the fill tube grommet seal. ***** this can result in shudder during torque converter clutch engagement.consequence: it can lead to increased transmission operating temperatures, boiling of the water, and a subsequent purging of transmission fluid into the engine compartment potentially resulting in an underhood fire.remedy: dealers will inspect the transmission for leakage at the fill tube grommet seal. If no leak is detected.
I own a 2005 jeep, grand cherokee with 39,000 miles. I was driving the vehicle when suddenly i had total transmission failure. The vehicle would not move when applying the gas. I coasted the vehicle off to the side of the rode and applied the brakes to stop the vehicle. I put the vehicle into park and got off the brakes and the vehicle began to roll forward. I had to apply the emergency brakes to stop the vehicle from rolling even though it was in park. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership for diagnosis.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee gets stuck in first gear when starting up from a stopped position. This is random, and happens only once every 15 to 20 stops.the only way i can get it to shift is to manually shift gears. I have had it into the dealer four times and they cannot fix the problem. I called jeep customer service and they told me to go to another dealer. As the car is on extended warranty it costs me $100 each time i take it in.

Safety recall 2005 jeep grand cherokee/transmission fluid leak. Vehicle shakes violently/shudders on highway &when speeding up/ slowing down. Jeep serviced on 5 separate occasions for recall over 36 months. Repaired incorrectly on 1st visit to dealer service. Brought in 4 subsequent times/approx. Every 10,000 mi- to fix same issue transmission/ failed torque converter/shudder. Dealer argued no recall of this item, despite having nhtsa recall info/my vin was noted on recall. Dealer refused to waive $100 powertrain warranty fee each time jeep brought back. Dealer insisted mopar parts have9,000 mi warranty/ i would pay for repair b/c i drove 10,000 mi since previous repair. Dealer refused to provide rental car despite 5-7 day s to repair. Recall states a loaner vehicle to be provided if scheduled repair would take >1+days. A local 5 star jeep/chrysler dealership refused to service jeep after their initial recall repair failed at 10,000 miles. I was told to take jeepback to dealership i leased it from. Dealership manager told me it was not his problem to fix & 5 star jeep name did not mean anything to him. Said he was not concerned about recall. Ibrought jeep to the leasing dealership- they refuted claims of a recall & told me to pay for all repairs & loaner car. It wasn't until 4th&5th time jeep was in for service that a loaner car was provided because i told dealer i was pursuing ohio lemon law. The last time i brought jeep in for service of this recall item, i was told to go on a drive with serviceman to verify problem. He told me it was torque converter & not to fix it b/c he didn't think there would be a fires from leak. I showed him nhtsa recall. He said i would pay for mopar parts b/c they were out of warranty @ 12,000 miles. I told him i had 10,000 miles since last service. He spoke to manager & they serviced jeep. Jeep is again shuddering/clunking.

On several occasions after i have driven my vehicle in heavy rain on wet roads or went through a car wash then parked it, when i go to leave the area it will take off (accelerate) as soon as it is in gear, my foot is not on the gas it just takes off,sometimes it will just stall after it does this other times it keeps running and i am able to control it.fortunately i have not had an accident because of this, but it is quite a scary experience.most recent experience was after i had been to a car wash.
I was performing an oil change on the vehicle.as soon as i crawled under it to start, i noticed the right side of the front differential where the axle tube mates, was covered in diff oil.i took the vehicle to the dealer and was told it was "normal seepage".i find it hard to believe a gasket can only hold fluid for less than 6000 miles before leaking.dealer refused to correct it.
Jerking in differential, dealer said they don't know what the problem is, it has been like this since i bought it new in 2005.
Consumer stated:the seal was completey gone in front of the differental. No lights came on.it was making a grinding noise like rocks were in the wheel.
I took possession of a new jeep grand cherokee on 29 june 2005. That afternoon, when first driven above 60 mph, a front-end vibration (oscillation) was immediately evident. Actually the vibration ispresent at all speeds. I arranged for a service appointment at steve christy chrysler jeep here in tucson.my first warranty visit for the vibration problem was made on 18 july 2005. The diagnosis there was a bad tire, which i had replaced at a goodyear tire shop per instructions from this dealership. It had no effect on the vibration. I have since been in to jim click chrysler jeep in tucson on three occasions for a total of eight full days. The vibration persists. I was informed that i would be unable to have further repair attempts without direction from chrysler engineering.the latest repair attempt resulted in a modification to the drive shaft by adding sixweights at positions on the drive shaft. After this activity, which did not fix the vibration, i was told that the remaining vibration was " in the design". I had alocal respected automotive shop evaluate the vibration and they concludedit had a problem. I asked three fellow engineers to evaluate the vibration andall concluded there was a problem. (note, one of the engineers has five yearsexperience driving and testing vehicles professionally.) chrysler still claims thevibration is " in the design". The vibration is bad enough that i am afraid to take the vehicleon a road trip or tow a trailer. The vibration is at times violent and i do notknow if something could break or if the oscillation could cause loss of control.i was informed by a maintenance supervisor that there were two reasons forchrysler to take the "in the design" position. 1) there are thousands of vehiclesthat made it out of the factory with this problem and 2) the problem is a chassisalignment flaw and can not be repaired.

The middle seatbelt locks up and renders it useless. It locks so tight that it is impossible to loosen and becomes a safely risk if god forbid someone would be stuck in it during an accident. It has started to dig into my seat so bad that i have no choose but to cut it and remove and replace it. This is a manufacturer defect and should be a safety recall and placed on this asap.

The middle rear seat belt is locked in place to the point it is digging into my seat. I now can not use the seat belt and causes a safety concern for my children and or passengers if they are not wearing a seat belt. Also, the rear headrest removes but the poles that holds them in still stick out of the seat. The headrest must be removed to properly install my daughters booster seat. The boosterseat does not sit flush against the seat unless the head rest cushion is removed but it does not look safe especially in the event of a car accident having the head rest support poles sticking out of the seat. So all in all the rear seat renders me useless with only two seat belts and one of the two working ones not properly installing a car seat becaise of the headrest.
The middle back seat belt strap located in the rear seat is locked tightly in place & cannot be loosen to use properly for anyone seating in the middle rear seat.there is no code to deactivate this problem for i have researched online & called the jeep dealership to resolve this issue without the costly expense.to easily resolve this issue, is to just cut the seat belt strap or take out the entire rear seat which is a big time-consuming mess to take out & put back in place just to loosen the strap as i read online.to have the dealership do the work would be putting out more $$$$ for the same thing as doing it yourself.this is a big problem for the middle rear seat belt in the grand cherokee as i have read online & nothing is being done to correct this.no one can sit in the middle without a seat belt by law.i have 4 grandkids that i take to swim lessons or visits at the same time & if i knot in another seat belt straps to the jeep seat belts that is still taking a risky chance of endangering their lives by doing this or getting a ticket for improper seat belt usage.
-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.

Middle backseat seatbelt is stuck unfastened, unable to fasten seatbelt, unable to place small children or babies in the middle seat. Middle seatbelt is not a lap belt, it goes across the chest. Safest seat is now the most unsafe position in the car.when trying to start the ignition, the key has to be turned several times and can take up to five minutes until the car ignition will turn on to start car.
2005 jeep grand cherokee - rear middle seat belt locked up! i put the rear seat down to move stuff, went to put seat back into regular up right position and the middle seat belt is locked and wont release. I have read that this is a common problem with no fix. In my opinion this is a safety item that the manufacture needs to look into via recall or fix!
The center back seat seatbelt will not come loose. It is tightened and will not retract. I have to put my six year old on the left passenger side because i cannot seat her in the middle. It's concerning in the event of an accident, my child is susceptible to more injuries since i cannot properly seat her in the middle seat in the back.also, when it rains, the car leaks into the inside. This has been going on for quite sometime. I don't understand it. I spoke with my cousin who also owns a brand new jeep and even hers does this as well.

I bought this car nov. 2015. (car was stationary) i did not know there was a problem with seat belt until i tried put my grand child in middle back seat and noticed the seat belt was stuck and was not usable. After doing some research, and reading other complaints on same issue, it turns out their is a problem with the seat belt retractor. This is definitely a safety issue as well as a law that all must wear them. When we took the car to dealer the to fix 2 other recall issues they said it would cost at least $500 to fix the seat belt issue and that it might happen again! i strongly feel something should be done about this problem and that it's the company's responsibility to fix this safety issue!
The passenger seat belt will not hook. Needed to push the release button to engage the seat belt. Vehicle was stationary in park. I have the malfunctioning seat belt for your examination. Just send me an address. The seat belt and pretensioner needed to be replaced. A $351.23 repair.
The rear center seat belt is stuck in the lock position after laying the back seat down to haul cargo.i have read several forums regarding this problem and it seems to happen a lot.no solution yet save taking it to the dealer for them to fix and me to have to pay for.not a good option in my book.
Rear middle seat belt is stuck in retracted position.it is so tight that it is digging into the top of seat.apparently this is a common problem that happens after pulling the back seat down for cargo.this seems to be a safety issue, what if it locked like this when a person is using it and couldn't get out in an emergency.i feel that this should be recalled and fixed by jeep.

Just purchased a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. I noticed when i test drove several and ended up ordering from the factory that the front seat belts are too short. While i can get the belt to buckle, i am unable to have much forward motion such as if i'm reaching for something.i am not that big so seat belt extenders should not be warranted. Never had this problem in any other vehicle, incliuding 2001 grand cherokee i traded. If i am carrying a passenger that is larger than me, there is bo way that they will be able to fasten the belt. Obviously, this could end up being a safety issue.
I have not purchased the vehicle.the 2005 jeep grand cherolee has significantly shortened the front seat belts, to the point where a larger individual would be totally unable to buckle the belt, even with the seat all the way back.i do not have this problem with my 1999 grand cherokee, or any other vehicle i have ever owned or rented.the significantly shorter seat belt will cause people not to buckle up, and is a safety hazard for any driver.
- while driving 40 - 45 miles per hour. The contact lost control of the vehicle on a gravel/dirtroad which caused a collision with a post. The contact'sairbags did not deploy. The seatbelt didn't secure her in the vehicle which caused her to lose 4 front teeth and, severelyinjure her jaw bone and chin.
Passenger seat belt light and red air bag light on dash comes on intermittently then stays on . Air pressure light comes on and tires are at normal psi. Some days both lights come on together.
The passenger seat heater went up in flames. The car was closed up so thankfully the fire went out on its own. There is a lot of fire damage. The whole front cabin is melted or charred.
Upholstery fabric is highly susceptible to staining!!!it does not clean when shampooed.stains remain & actually become worse with cleaning.even rain drops stain the fabric.this is absolutely unacceptable!!!i can see why chrysler introduced "yes" fabric in 2007.i wish i had it.the only solution is re-upholstery.i have considered having leather installed but decided it was too costly.had i known the upholstery would stain so easily i would not have bought cloth interior!!!!!!

Upholstery fabric is highly susceptible to staining!!! it does not clean when shampooed.even rain drops stain the fabric. Ihave shampooed and even had the fabric scotch-guarded on 4 separate occasions, yet it still stains, even by rain drops.i have complained to the dealers service department but to no avail.i won't purchase another jeep due to this frustration.i take pride in keeping my vehicle clean and like new.i am very embarrassed to have passengers ride in my jeep.it gives them a bad impression of me as well as chrysler!i really regret purchasing this jeep.

In march of 2013 the right door in the back seat handle cracked, at first you were still able to open it then one day it completely broke off and now you can no longer open it from the inside, at first i thought maybe my daughter had pulled a little to hard on it, then i started to look at the all 3 other door handles and they are all cracked and slowly starting to break like the right rear door. I called the dealer and they told me that i has to replace all the door panels for $250.00 each there was no way to just replace the actual handle.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee with cloth seats. I don't know what the material is made of, and really don't care. Water will stain the cloth immediately and is unable to be cleaned. I have tried everything, however all cleaners have water in them. Maybe i could take it to the dry cleaners. I think chrysler should go to the cleaners!!!
Dt:consumer stated his vehicle was designed so that the driver and passenger rear seats have head rests that make it impossible to properly install a forward facing car seat in therear seat. The head rests strike the top of the car seat so that the consumer can not put the car seat flush against the back seat. The only place the car seat will properly fit is in the middle of the rear seat. The consumer stated that two car seats can't be in the back seat. Consumer contacted the manufacturer and they referredhim to a dealer that is licensed to install car seats. The dealer told the consumer that this was a problem, the dealer had already informed the manufacturer of the problem. Manufacturer says that they have fixed problem for 2006 year model by replacing the headrests, but they can not do anything to retrofit 2005 year models.the consumer says that the only solution is to buy a much smaller and not as safe car seat.
Head restraint on my new jeep grand cherokee limited (2005) tilts forward a few inches (compared with my previous 2002 laredo).there is no adjustment to pull the head restraint back, only an up and down option.the head restraint is pushing my head forward instead of it being straight with my body as i drive the vehicle.this turtles the head and causes headaches.the manufacturer and jeep dealer have not provided a remedy or refund thus far.
I attempted to install a car seat for a 3 year old child in the back seat of my 2005 grand cherokee.however, the head rest interfered with proper installation of the car seat.the head rest would not allow the seat to be tightly mounted to the back seat of the car, but rather held the child seat out by about 2-3 inches.this prevented the seat from being safely installed.it is very difficult to remove the head rest from this vehicle.i had to take it to the dealer to get this done.but when the head rest is removed, there are two "prongs" that protrude out, making the situation even more dangerous.i called chrysler to get advice on what to do.they said go to the dealer, but the dealer could not solve the problem either.i then called chrysler again, and they insisted this is not a problem.but it is!daimler-chrylser needs to address this problem.it is a design flow.at the very least they should provide a list of infant car seats that can be properly installed -- if any such seats exist.

Dt*:the contact stated the rear head rest did not pull down to allow a child seat to be secured in the seat safely.because of the head rest the child seat was pushed forward.the dealership and manufacturer determined the head rest is designed in that manor and it is a problem in that type of vehicles.
I leased a 2005 jeep grand cherokee from a local dealership in wilmington, de.i recently experienced a significant problem with the rear seats and their ability, or lack thereof, to accommodate a child's car seat.as my daughter continues to grow we have changed her car seat to the forward facing position and it is currently located in the center of the back seat.as she continues to grow it is becoming difficult to place her in the child car seat located in the center of the back seat.thus, we attempted, unsuccessfully, to move her car seat from the center position to the right rear seat position.however, due to the shape of the vehicles seat and inability to remove the head rest, we were unable to safely secure her car seat in the right rear seat position.we have since tried to install two other child seats and neither worked.thereafter, we made arrangements to have someone from christiana hospital who is certified by the nhtsa install the seat and she too was unable to do so as a result of the vehicle's seat design and headrest.we have raised this issue with the dealership and daimler chrysler but they simply tell us to consult our owner's manual and seatcheck.org.however, i have read the owner's manual several times and it states that a child's seat can be installed in any of the rear seat positions.moreover, the representative from the hospital that attempted to install the seat is one of the individuals you are directed to from the www.seatcheck.org website. Thus, i have no where else to turn so i thought the most prudent thing to do would be file a complaint with the nhtsa.
2005 jeep grand cherokee does not allow for proper & safe child seat installation!! the back seat head rest tilt forward impeding the ability for car seats to lay flush against seat. Removal of head rest (which was the only option from jeep) leave 2 large metal bars that children can receive serious injury from in just entering their seats on their own! there is no safe option for child car seat/boosters. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed! this was also not mentioned to us until we brought it to the attention of the jeep dealership in which their reply was they were aware of the issue and nothing could be done.
2005 jeep grand cherokee does not allow toddler car seats to be installed properly in the back seat due to permanent and non adjustable headrests. Received letter from certified nhtsa safety instructor stating this to be true.

Emergency brake shoes (rear) delaminated from caliper and jammed up in the brake drum preventing the vehicle from rolling.this could have occurred while vehicle was at speed and caused an uncontrolled braking situation.after reading several posts on numerous jeep blogs i see that my vehicle was not an exception.

I was driving to the work, a semi truck wasfront of my jeep,it was a stop sign and the semi truck was stopping and i was slowing down to stop, but my jeep didn't slow down. Even i was pressing the brake, didn't stop on time and i crashed to the semi truck. Luckily, didn't give any damage tothe semi truck , but my jeepend up total lost.after i got this recall from mail, i realize , the accident wasn't my fault, the jeep had a factory defected. I need some one to answer this for me. Because i lost my jeep and got another car to go to work. Till now i was asking myself how i couldn't stop the jeep and it was only 15 to 20 miles an hours. Now i know it wasn't me.
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.
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
Lights lit on dash,abs, traction control,& service electrical brake system.replaced brakes & no change lights still lit up.got recall notice p41 in sept, 2014 stating problem with ignition switch,& that the part is not available & will contact me when its available.it is now over a year later still nothing and is way beyond a reasonable of time for repair !!! after driving all winter without the traction control.now when i drive the vehicle when i turn it off it won't start & it wont start for 11/2 to 2 hours i am just stuck waiting & waiting! it is totally random sometimes it starts & sometimes it will only crank for a split second and theni am stuck, tried to jump it doesn't help at all makes no difference.also the headlights will flash off & on at times, as well as the dash lights.this is my only car so this is a major problem for me.have spoken with the dealer can't help parts not available.
I was driving down the highway going approximately 65 mph when, without warning, the vehicle shut down completely.engine shut down, all power steering, braking, and power systems were lost.luckily, i was in the far right lane and was able to pull safely to the side of the road.once the vehicle came to a complete stop i was able to restart the vehicle and continue on.this is an extremely dangerous issue.after calling the dealer was told there was a recall for the symptoms described but no parts available to fix it and it could be months before it could be fixed.no offer was made to provide me with a vehicle to drive while the issue remained open.i am not going to endanger my life, my family's lives, or the lives of other drivers by continuing to operate this vehicle.the dealer should be required to provide an alternate mode of transportation to the customer if the issue cannot be resolved in a timely manor.

During a recent brake job, i removed my brake rotors.my jeep grand cherokee (2005) has a combination disk and drum brake system in the rear in a single rotor.the drum brakes are for the emergency brake system.when i removed the rear rotors one of the drum brake pads fell off on the floor.i checked the other three pads from both rear tires and all of them were on the verge of coming off.they appear to be glued on and glue failed.these are factory installed brake pads.this seems like a safety issue.i should also note that these drum brake pads had virtually no wear.
Vehicle loses power, power steering and power brakes and then shuts off while driving. Believe this is related to recall p41 which has no parts available at the present time.

1.door handles broken on 3 doors2.electrical system - lights flickering and completely going out while driving at night.3.transmission slips out of gear while driving and will not always change gears.found where other grand cherokee vehicles were recalled for these conditions but not the one i own.
When i was driving my 2005 grand cherokee, the vehicle turned itself off causing me to lose braking and steering power. The ignition recall is what is going on however chrysler/jeep does not have the parts to fix the problem nor are the offering any possible solutions. They are refusing a rental car due to the issue not being life threatening. However, having a vehicle shut itself off while driving is very life threatening to myself, passengers in the vehicle and innocent bystanders around me on the road. I am highly dissatisfied with chrysler.

"takata recall" i purchased a jeep for 7,500. Put 3,000 down and financed the rest. Next day, the axle boot was broke. Took it back to the dealer and they replaced it. At that time, i realized they gave me a 29% finance rate. So i bought they vehcile right out by writing a check for$4890. With asking if the vehcile had any major issues or been in the shop for any serious engine or transmission work, i was promised the vehcile was in good standing condition. Next day,with my fiance and my 20 month old son in the newly purchased vehcile, headed out for a vacation. About 10 mins from our home and the axle they just replacedon't broke and the transmission went. The vehcile had no emergency brakes and no hear, not even park. I had to pull into a person's yard and do donuts until it stopped. Got it towed home and called the bank and cancelled the check. Now the have towed the vehcile away and say i write bad checks. Yet i have paperwork from the bank supporting my cancellation on the check and record of funds to purchase the vehcile. Seeking legal advice now. I did purchase "as is"....yet, that doesn't uphold to fraud and warranty of mechanism on the vehcile.

While i was driving on a main road, my car completely shut down. My steering wheel was locked, gas and brake petal were not working, basically my car was going on its own. Worst part was that it was going on a slant while other cars driving 45/50 miles per hour heading towards me. I could not stop my car, nor drive my car, nor try and steer myself to a safe location. My car just kept going. Something needs to be done. I have almost lost my life 2 times already. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle. Everytime i go to chrysler... They do not know what to do or what is going on. When will this be fixed and how?

Loss of power while driving, wont shift, no cruise control, brake lights on, . This happens at lest one a week.
On at least 4 occasions, my jeep has randomly lost power such that the power steering, accelerator, and brake systems stopped working. Each time it has occurred, it was at a low rate of speed, so the danger of a catastrophic accident was low; however, one time it occurred when i was on a hill and i couldn't stop the jeep from rolling down hill. I had to coast through a stop sign and only came to rest because of a curb on the opposite side of the street. Luckily, no cars were coming in the opposite direction.

I read in the news today that the nhtsa is investigating the brakes on a number of gm products. I wish that you had included jeep grand cherokee brakes for 1999 through 2004 models. The design is such that pulsation, sometimes severe, occurs after 10k to 15k miles due to the rotors warping. My dealer either resurfaces the existing rotors or replaces them at no charge. In 1999 the dealer blamed the problem on a new design and supplier problems. My 2004 model had to be taken in for pulsating front brakes at 18,500 miles, and i was told that chrysler was locked into a contract with their supplier that they could not break, which is why substandard parts continue to be supplied but replaced at no charge.for chrysler to go through 5 model years knowing they were supplying substandard brake components is inexcusable! the brake problem with their 1999 model was an engineering and/or supplier problem. The brake problem with the 2004 model is a senior management problem. Brake work done on my 1999 model and 2004 model was done exclusively by the local jeep dealer, and those records are in their system should you wish to pursue this. The vin number of the 1999 model, with which i experienced multiple brake problems was vin [xxx] and the 2004 model experiencing the same problem is vin [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

I have a 2005 grand jeep cherokee, the brakes are awful. In february 09 i had brake work done on thefront and in november of 09 i need brake work again but this time i needed rotors, they fixed it free of charge but now i have started experiencing the same problem and it have only been 7 months. The shop said that the reason for this is, they don't make the brakes big enough for a suv by it being a 6 cylinder. So i guess every 6 to 7 months i will be going for brake service.

Brake system - vehicle keeps displaying warining message "service electronic braking system".dealership has tried to fix this message on four attempts. Parts have been replaced along wth updates to the calibration by chrysler all to no solution. Problem usually returns less than a day or two after receiving vehicle from dealership. Dealer noted one other customer is having the same problem, chrysler is trying different methods on each vehicle top correct the problem....ie. They are not sure why it is happening and are basically throwing darts hoping to cure the problem.

I bought a new 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo & at 19,600 miles i had to change the front brakes. Since changing from the oem pads that are a whopping $175 from the dealer, i instead purchased the mopar service pads for about $60. I have had problems ever since. The ears on the pads seem to make a clicking sound in the channels they ride in upon braking after a week or 2. I took it back to the dealer superior in uniontown, pa & they said it was because i didn't grease them correctly. They cleaned & greased them & the sound stopped only for about 2 weeks & then returned. I have sincehad to completely disassemble the calipers & pads twice to clean & grease them. Every week or 2 they start making the noise again. Now my rotors are warped & warranty is only good for 12,000 miles on the rotors. This must be a known problem to jeep. I asked the service manager if the 2005 jgc had a technical service bulletin on the brake rotors or pads? he said it did not according to his knowledge. I'm at a loss on how to fix this problem other than buying new pads & new rotors? this was my second grand cherokee & it will be my last! no more jeeps for me ever again! if you've had a like experience with the 2005 jgc brakes, please post your problems & any solution that you may have found. My local jeep dealer is of no helps & doesn't seem to care. Sincerely
While trying to stop, while my foot was on the brake pedal, the engine started racing and was not able to stop, i ended up hitting the car in front of me, 2 car passengers went to the hospital with minor injuries. Contacted jeep and car was checked by factory expert at local dealer , nothing defective was found with brakes . This has happened 2 times before this accident. Fortunately, i was able to stop. Also i had to replace all 4 rotors with less than 18,000 miles, complained to jeep and was told that rotors are normal wear and tear item and how long they last depends on your driving habits. I just heard on tv that there is a recall for brake failure, contacted jeep and was told no, there is no recall at this time.please let me know if there is a recall on 05 jeep grand cherokee for brake failure.

I purchased a 2004 special edition jeep grand cherokee in feb 2003.this vehicle is strictly used for pleasure and currently has less then 18,000 miles.i do not live in the mountains where brakes are used excessively.the brake rotors were warped at 12,100 miles.the dealership refused to warranty and said there was not issue with the braking sytem.they are once again warped with now less then 18,000 miles.i called the dealership who blew me off and placed a complaint with chrysler who is yet to respond, however i was given a reference number, reference number: 13282345i had the rotors cut the first time and replaced with a gm product the second time.i did some research and know i am not alone in this and also noted that the company issued a notice to the dealerships in june of 04, yet they continue to deny any problem.
Rotors are warped and pull to right.the problem started with less than 15k miles on the vehicle.it appears to be similar in nature to 1999-2004 jeeps.dealer says i can just pay to have them turn rotors!
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.while the contact's wife was driving the vehicle at an unknown speed, she approached a stop sign and depressed the brake pedal.the vehicle accelerated.the light changed before she was able to stop so she released the brake pedal and continued to drive to her residence.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the failure may be located in the throttle body.the dealer could not duplicate the failure and stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle.while on vacation, the unexpected acceleration recurred.the contact took the vehicle to an area dealer and they had the vehicle for a couple of days, but were unable to duplicate the failure.once he returned home, he called his local dealer and was informed to bring the vehicle in for inspection.the dealer stated that the failure was with the adjustable brake and gas pedals causing unexpected acceleration.the dealer advised the contact to leave the pedals down as close to the floor as possible to avoid the failure recurring.the failure mileage was 1,000 and current mileage is 7500. Updated 09/13/08.*ljupdated 09/16/08 the consumer received a second opinion from a different dealer and they also found the adjustable brake and gas pedal when in the up position, were too close together.

While driving my 2005 jeep grand cherokee i have experienced unwanted accelerationwhile braking on numerous occasions.this vehicle is equipped with the adjustable pedals.i have owned and driven jeeps for many years, to include 1996 grand cherokee and 2002 grand cherokee. Ihave never experienced this problem.it appears there is insufficient space between the accelerator and the brake pedal.i wear a size 12 shoe and i must make a very conscious effort to get my foot further to the left that is normal.i also have driven my 2004 dodge ram pick up over two hundred thousand miles from june 2004 to oct 2005 commercially and never had such an experience.my wife normally drives the jeep and she has commentedon having the same experience.she almost rear ended a car as a result of these pedals being to close.we have adjusted the pedals up and down and get the same results.the same day she mentioned her experience i had a repeat performance myself. This is a very dangerous situation and i intend to take this car into waconia dodge /jeep for inspection.i will also send a note to the manufacturer.jeep drivers need to be aware of this hazard and confront the manufacturer to get a fix --i have only experienced this hazard in the jeeps with adjustable pedals.
Initially thought engine accelerated when pressing on brake pedal. Came to realize that i was pressing both the accelerator and brake together. Poor design.
Problem********wife and myself were unaware we were stepping on the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time.********** i figured it out twicein time to avoid wreck by standing on brake with left foot.my 7 month pregnant wife while standing on brake with ample stopping distance rear-ended another vehicle.i believe there are two contributing factors to design flaw in this '05 jeep grand cherokee.one is same-level positioning of brake and accelerator pedals and the super quiet "quiet steel" composition of cockpit.made it possible for us to be unaware of engine noise while stepping on gas and brake at he same time.the engine pushed the vehicle thru a stop while standing on the brake and we could nothear the engine accelerating.in my mind this is a big deal safety issue.my wife had an accident just last night with minor damage and we intend to start dealing with the retailer tonight after work.
2005 grand cherokee brake & accelerator pedal are at the same level.the consumer stated on several occasions when he applied the brake to stop, he also applied the accelerator pedal, which caused the vehicle to accelerate. He stated the two pedals are adjustable, but, they are adjustable together not separately. Updated 04/08/10.
While getting on the freeway about to merge on the middle left lane my vehicle all the sudden flick on all the dashboards lights - did not loose any power, but got my very concerned.3 days later 3/14/2015 while i was putting to a parking space about to make another left turn the steering lock and lost all power. Lights were on, but i had no breaks and no steering. When tried to start the vehicle the engine had a hard time starting. Per the recalled online it says to adjust seat and not to have any other keys with the vehicle key. There were no other keys on this. I called my local dealer and there was no information on this.
2005 jeep cherokee rack steering went out already and obviously jeep won't back this for its not under "warranty". But when you call they say if you get it fixed by one of our guys you "may" qualify for special financing?...what is that all about?..."special financing"...so they can make more money off you?...this jeep is literally driven about 14 miles a day 5 days a week on the highway to and from work. The rest of the time we drive our car to save on gas. I just can't believe the rack steering would go out already!!. $1088 dollars later. A vehicle this young should not have steering problems. Has there been others with the same problem on their jeeps?

I saw the news this morning that chrysler jeep has admitted to a defect where the jeep cherokees (2005) turns off unexpectedly and there are issues with the airbag.my jeep has turned off/stalled soon after i have started driving it on a number of occasions.it sort of stalls with no power going to the engine and then a few seconds later kicks in and moves.this usually happens right after i pull out of a parking space or pull away from the curb to start driving in a lane of traffic.i have brought the car in and discussed the problem a couple times and been told there is no problem.as a separate or related issue, during one of my first services at a jeep dealership when i left the dealership warning lights turned on -- i went back to have the issue addressed and was finally told on the fourth visit that there was a faulty software upgrade and not to worry unless a light went on and stayed on (i didn't have time to pursue the issue and i got no where with the dealership).more recently it has been the airbag light that goes on and off (if is now off).finally, i went to the chrysler website this morning and entered my vin and was told there was no recall or notices.i hope that the nhtsa requires chrysler to address this issue and/or it is addressed through a class action.
The jeep instrument cluster went dark and non operational as well as the power steering not working. Turn signals were not working as well. Driving 45 mph and this happens in a turn in the road almost causing a major wreck due to the power steering and turn signals not working. There are multiple complaints about this issue happening and the consumer having the ignition switch replaced to solve the problem. This issue is a major safety issue yet chrysler issued a recall that does not have a fix. We were told by chrysler that it is safe to drive the jeep with the issues. However we do not feel safe in this automobile. If we knew this was going to be happening we would not have purchased the jeep.
I drove into an advance autoparking and when i was driving the car seem to accelerated and i could not turn the wheel on the car i tried to push the brakes to stop the car but the braking system was not working.

The police at the seen told me and my husband that the impact that the vehicle took, the airbags should of came out, but they did not. My car is totaled and the body of the car in the front is split in half.
Vehicle completely shuts off while driving, with 4 attempts by the dealership service, vehicle continues to shut off while driving.
Horn blows for no reason , at any time . Blows when drive a 60 miles an hour , just setting in driveway . Have taken it to dealer , still have same problem . It's a safety problem , because people think i am blowing at them and mad and wont fight . Need a fix for this problem .
Was driving and all a sudden check elect braking system light came on and the abs started to pulse only on one side without even touching the brake pedal. Almost wrecked. This will be the legacy for jeep with this problem going on all over the internet. Will be my last jeep . To bad to cause i am ready to purchase a new vehicle. They know all about the problem but choose to let the owner and family get killed first. And from what happened to me i could happen very easily.
While i was driving on a main road, my car completely shut down. My steering wheel was locked, gas and brake petal were not working, basically my car was going on its own. Worst part was that it was going on a slant while other cars driving 45/50 miles per hour heading towards me. I could not stop my car, nor drive my car, nor try and steer myself to a safe location. My car just kept going. Something needs to be done. I have almost lost my life 2 times already. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle. Everytime i go to chrysler... They do not know what to do or what is going on. When will this be fixed and how?
When it started malfunctioning, i would be just driving and my jeep would just shut off, engine, power, all the dash lights come on, and steering becomes difficult as well as braking, and now it won't start. This is extremely dangerous to be driving but the ignition switch isn't available yet, this is a known recall and now its causing me to miss work since its my only vehicle. This is unacceptable and very dangerous, this has taken far too long to fix. Please help! i need a loaner!
I was on the freewaystopped in traffic but driving slowly as traffic movedwhen i tried to drive the steering wheel the brake and gas pedal felt really stiff so when that happened i just put the truck on park and turned it off and back on and after doing that it drove normally.

The rear drive shaft is causing a rumbling as you speed up or maintain speed. It feels like driving over small speed bumps or rubble strips, even when there is nothing in the road. It is a safety concern because it is a leak in the oil of the drive shaft. It is also a pretty expensive problem to fix. Jeep and mopar need to fix this safety issue. Like yesterday.
In rush hour traffic, the car would lose power everytime the car came to a stop or idled. 3 days later, the car lost power in speed limit traffic after going over the railroad tracks. Since then, it loses power at every stop. If i am not aware, the car rolls into oncoming traffic! i took the car to my nearest dealer. They confirmed that it was the ignition switch that has been recalled and a part hasn't been sent to dealers. I called chrysler and all they did was put me on a list! they apologized for me not having a car to drive and that was it! they would not provide me with a timeline of when the part would be ready. They refused to provide me with a loaner vehicle while it was off the road. I have lost my mode of transportation unless i want to risk my and my family's life, and they say there is nothing they can do even though they are at fault!

The check engine light came on as i was leaving work. So i took it to auto zone and they did a diagnostic on it and they came back with a few possible oxygen sensor, exhaust leak, engine malfunction indicator. So i made an appointment with a chrysler dealership. The check engine light stayed on a couple of days then when i left work the afternoon i was to take it in to dealership the check engine light didn't come on. When i got to dealership i told them the light didn't come on. They said they might still try to figure out problem doing a diagnostic. Anyway a couple hours later they came back and said it was the (tcm) which is the transfer control module. It's in the computer part and it causes hesitation in the transmission and could cause other problems if not fixed. Now mind you it's a $900 fix which is expensive. My particular vehicle has a nag on it, it's part of the mcgeorge mercedes benz jeep grand cherokee. I'm surprised there's been no recall on this.
When i was driving my 2005 grand cherokee, the vehicle turned itself off causing me to lose braking and steering power. The ignition recall is what is going on however chrysler/jeep does not have the parts to fix the problem nor are the offering any possible solutions. They are refusing a rental car due to the issue not being life threatening. However, having a vehicle shut itself off while driving is very life threatening to myself, passengers in the vehicle and innocent bystanders around me on the road. I am highly dissatisfied with chrysler.

While rounding a corner husbands knee bumped into ignition switch, car shut down. Received recall notice in sept. 2014 and have contacted local jeep dealer several times, still no parts to fix this problem. We are following suggested handling of key fob, only the key in ignition. The danger became very present to us last night as we had just gotten off the highway where we were driving at speeds of 65 mph. This would have had a vastly different outcome going that fast. How long is it going to take before this fix takes place? we don't want to die!! had i been driving instead of my husband i would have surely panicked and wouldn't be sitting here writing you now. Chrysler needs to get moving on this before we encounter a dreaded accident.

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 nutsor 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.
Recall p 51 - faulty ignition switch...reported to owners, september 2014...jeep has not provided a fix and do not have any idea when it will be available...i called jeep the customer service number on the recall notice and the voice system puts you on hold forever (i finally hung up after 1 hour)...it's obvious that jeep doesn't want to fix this problem...you need to make them do it...thanks...[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My daughter was in a turn when she lost power steering, lost braking power, etc. She had to apply hard brakes to prevent going into the opposing lane. While she didn't understand what had happened, her passenger told her to try restarting the car. She did, and was able to continue.
Vehicle loses power, power steering and power brakes and then shuts off while driving. Believe this is related to recall p41 which has no parts available at the present time. I feel my car is not safe to drive and am requesting a rental vehicle until part becomes available. Since i have to have the car towed to the dealership for a diagnosis i want to make sure the part is available. I am expecting chrysler to reimburse me for all my expenses relating to this fix.this problem has occurred 5 other times besides this last occurr-ence.

I was driving on the highway and the truck just shut off completely for no reason then restarted itself this happen 3 times that day and has happen 2 more times after that.
***several problems with 2005 jeep cherokee laredo 3.7***just after purchasing this vehicle in feb 2006 dealer had to replace the air conditioner because it would only work at one speed. After that the transfer case and shifter had to be replaced, next the windshield began to leak molding the carpets, next the steering wheel began making loud clicking noise when making deep turns, vehicle also has severe hesitation when going up hills, now my mechanic says there is transmission fluid all under the vehicle. Have also bumped my knee against the key resulting in stalling. Worst of all only getting 12-14 mpg!!!!!!have owned jeeps in the past, very unhappy with this one.

The first incident took place approximately on the above date. As my daughter, friends and i were pulling onto the road, i bumped the key with my knee and the vehicle shut off completely. Everything went dead. I put it in neutral, turned the key, started it, and continued on. It has happened 3 times since then, twice with my daughter driving. We followed the recall posted by chrysler and removed everything from the key chain, moved the seat back, etc. (there is no fix offered for this). This past saturday night, 7/25/15, my 18 year old daughter was returning home from a friends house when she sneezed and as she was recovering and re-adjusting, she bumped the key and shut the car off. When this happens, everything is cut off. Lights, brakes, gauges, everything. Being dark, she could not see, could barely steer, brake, etc. And was basically "along for the ride". As she was in a left turn at the time, she pulled the wheel to the right to try and stay on the road and not go "beyond the turn" and crash. Because the brakes were not working, she was going too fast, managed to get the car going to the right but ended up in a slide. The car slid sideways and then backwards, sliding off the road to the right side and onto a driveway where the driver side front wheel caught the culvert under the driveway, flipping the jeep onto the drivers side where it remained as it slid backwards for about 10 feet, stopping in a residents yard. Thankfully, my daughter was able to climb up and out the passenger window, unharmed, go to a house and get help. Because there is not a "fix" for this problem (chrysler admits this on the recall notice), i am out a vehicle because of a defect they can not/will not fix. Because of the year model and mileage, i only carried liability insurance, so the damage to the vehicle will exceed the cost to repair. I feel chrysler owes me the replacement cost.

My car was recalled by chrysler under p41/nhtsa 14v-438. That was in july and i just called the dealer and they still don't have the part. How much longer do i have to wait?
I was on my way to work and in mid motion the cars engine power steering and brakes shut off.luckily i was going slow enough that i was able to stop my car and restart it without any accidents.but i'm terrified the next time will i won't be so lucky.
Nhtsa veh rec # 14v-4387-still unresolved due to part availability - there have been more than two-dozen instances where jeep vehicle has shut itself down rendering all driver safety / control features (brakes, steering, air-bags) completely off!this vehicle failure happens at different speeds, direction (fwd-rev) while turning, going straight, uphill & down etc - this jeep vehicle will shut off without warningsince the key is in the on position, accessories (radio, wipers, fans etc) will remain on making it very difficult to detect that the engine has stopped and there is a zero engine power.it's not until you realize you've lost propulsion (passing or going uphill), slowing down, or loss of power assist steering and breaking, that you begin to react and try to restart the jeep.the first reaction is often panic driven breaking and getting out of harms way.today (3/19/2015) was my worst experience yet!driving ~35 mph on 2 lane road w/ mod-heavy morning traffic around me (7:15am) and this jeep shuts itself off. The car directly behind me swerved to avoid me as i had no power, and could not safely get out of the flow of traffic!i find it totally reprehensible that as of yet, there are no parts available to fix thus known defect!this is a 2005 vehicle - w/ a recall date of sept 3 2014, more than six months ago, and as of today, because it's my primary vehicle, i risk my, & family lives, all the while jeep and the us gov't have known about its defect.i expect jeep and the us gov't will defend and hold me (and any other drivers of this vehicle) harmless against any undesired events caused by this defect. Please respond if possible.
I had my vehicle valet parked with a single key in the ignition.upon receiving my car i got into the drive seat and proceeded to push my seat forward since i had a passenger behind me and was providing extra leg room.we proceeded to leave the parking area of the hotel and at a speed of about 15 mph i turn to adjust and item on the rear floor when my knee hit the key and the entire car was switched off.i had no steering since it was in locked position and the brakes was difficult to stop.the engine was off.i am just glad i was not on the freeway at 65 mph.why is it taking chrysler (fiat) one year to get a fix for this recall?
Vehicle randomly stalls when coming to a stop or slowing down to pull into a parking space. Rpm's will drop and the vehicle will sometimes recover, or stall in some cases. Incident occurs 1- 5 times per day.
I was driving down the highway going approximately 65 mph when, without warning, the vehicle shut down completely.engine shut down, all power steering, braking, and power systems were lost.luckily, i was in the far right lane and was able to pull safely to the side of the road.once the vehicle came to a complete stop i was able to restart the vehicle and continue on.this is an extremely dangerous issue.after calling the dealer was told there was a recall for the symptoms described but no parts available to fix it and it could be months before it could be fixed.no offer was made to provide me with a vehicle to drive while the issue remained open.i am not going to endanger my life, my family's lives, or the lives of other drivers by continuing to operate this vehicle.the dealer should be required to provide an alternate mode of transportation to the customer if the issue cannot be resolved in a timely manor.
Every day i crank up my jeep i give it 5-10 mins before i move it because it has this shake or vibration to it really bad it stops and then once i have exceeded 45-55 mph and start to come to a stop it shakes the entire front end. Now if i'm below 45 it don't really do it as often! when i turn or hit a bump in the road the front end rattled or vibrating from it! some days when i'm trying to make a u turn it seems as if it's having a hard time turning! check engine light constantly on and off! had it checked nothing is coming up indicating a misfire or anything! the gas mileage sucks! get a full tune up and it will run better spending all my money and it's still a piece of crap!
My 200 jeep grand cherokee is affected by the manufacturer recall number:p41.while driving this past weekend with my wife and two small children.the ignition switch changed positions causing the engine to shut off with steering and braking greatly reduced.thankfully i was not on the highway traveling at high speeds.this occurred in a residential neighborhood while driving 25mph.thankfully no other vehicle or pedestrian was in our path.this was extremely scary and could have been extremely dangerous and deadly.i am completely unsatisfied with chryslers responsiveness to this issue.our jeep is my wife's primary vehicle and drives my children around daily.i feel this vehicle is unfit and unsafe to drive.chrysler promised a solution by the end of the first fiscal quarter which is months past.when will a solution be available?i fell chrysler is responsible to provide my family with a safe vehicle, is a rental or loaner vehicle an option until a solution is provided?please help...
While departing philadelphiaairport , entering ramp to access interstate 95, the vehicle lost all power, engine, power steering and brakes would not work. Head lights were still functioning. We physically pushed the vehicle off the highway, so other drivers and municipal bus drivers would stop screaming at us. The vehicle would not start. After calling the police and a tow truck, about 30 minutes later , the vehicle started. We had the vehicle towed to our home 100 miles away in new jersey. The vehicle would start and remain running for about 15 minutes, then would shut down again, same issues. Several sensor codes came up on a readout but nothing has been done to the vehicle. At this point it is functioning, but we are afraid to drive the vehicle. Any help or recall info on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
I am 6'4" tall. The seat in the limited edition 5.7 l has insufficient travel in the vertical direction. My head rests against the ceiling under normal driving conditions unless i slouch a lot or put the seat back way back at which point i can no longer grip the steering wheel well.
On at least 4 occasions, my jeep has randomly lost power such that the power steering, accelerator, and brake systems stopped working. Each time it has occurred, it was at a low rate of speed, so the danger of a catastrophic accident was low; however, one time it occurred when i was on a hill and i couldn't stop the jeep from rolling down hill. I had to coast through a stop sign and only came to rest because of a curb on the opposite side of the street. Luckily, no cars were coming in the opposite direction.

This vehicle has quit running several times since we have owned it while drivingthe engine will just quit.

Turning the steering wheel to the right and turning on the signal for the right the horn beeped.stopped immediately and didn't happen again for several days.turn the signal on for a right turn the horn beeped longer.this didn't happen every time i used the signal and it is only on a right turn.several days later i turned the lights on in fog and the horn sounded for several seconds and would not stop.it finally stops on its own.i parked in the parking lot and the horn continued to blow by itself for several seconds even after the lights and car was turned off.it continued to blow at intervals and i had to have the horn unhooked to stop the blowing.i have owned jeeps for a very long time and would never have considered any other vehicle.i am now reconsidering this option.i do feel this is a defective part since in a very short time i have discovered two others just by talking about the problem to them.i am sure we are not the only three to have this issue.thank you.[xxx]i own three jeeps, 1984, 1993 and 2005have never had this problem with either of the other two.i have spoken with two other peoplein the past several days experiencing the same issue with a 2007.i feel this is a defect in the manufacturing of this part and should be a recall by jeep.

I have called the dealership three times since december 2015 to check on the status of my recall. They have put me on a wait list with no return call and no sign of this being completed. I was also told that after they have availability and they take my vehicle in, they would still have no date which they can tell me when the work will be completed.

Door handle broken, unable to get out after an accident.
17jan11 -- door handle faulty -- i own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that two have cracked at the door handle. If they continue to fall apart the vehicle occupant will be trapped within the vehicle. I have contacted chrysler and they are not willing to fix or help with the $1,400.00 bill for just the two door panels. If the battery were to die you would be trapped in the vehicle, or if you were forced off of the road and ended up in a lake you could not get out. My friend has explained this to chrysler and they do not feel that it is a concern that they have to worry about. I explained that i would send pictures of the vehicle to show it is in excellent condition, and garage kept (no damage to the vehicle), adult driven. Why did the other two panels crack, they have no answer.

2005 grand cher limiteddriver's door handle broke,when pulled to open door from inside.
When opening my doors the door handles started developing cracks and eventually cracked into several pieces and the handles are no longer attached to the door.calls and a visit to a dealer left me with the only option to replace the entire interior door at over $200.
2005 jeed grand cherokeefailure of interior door latch handles due to cracked plastic door panel which prevents operation of the door from the interior.this has occurred on 3 of 4 doors with the 4th door possibly failing in the near future.this is a severe safey issue preventing occupants from exiting the vehicle in an emergency.there are numerous reports on the internet.although, internet reports are frequently unreliable, there are hundreds of postings discussing this condition.further, at least one report indicates that chrysler has agreed to replace the door panels for a $50 co-pay; but my contact with chrysler was not successful.this is a serious issue that merits consideration for a recall.
This is about my 4 door handles in my jeep they have all cracked.one on the passenger front side is almost not usuable.my warranty does not cover it, i tried to call multiple chrysler places, they can't help me.my dealership has quoated me over $2500.i just don't have that kind of money to fix doors that i have not damaged.there plastic which does not help.i've gone on several websites and i have found so many complaints with the same problem as myself.i find that this is obvisously a jeep problem.i feel they should be fixed or that jeep should issue a recall.
All interior door handles inoperative due to engineering defect.
Door panels are broken such that door cannot be opened from inside.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited, and all of the interior door panels have cracked around the door handle release.my concern is that the poor construction or the door panels and the latch mechanism will cause occupants to be stuck inside when the door handles eventually fail.the vehicle only has 36000 miles, and is very well taken care of, and this poor quality construction is unacceptable.
We purchased a second hand jeep 2005 grand cherokee last may 2013. It was a one owner one driver vehicle. By the looks of the interior there were no other passengers ever in the car. Very clean and unused. By december 2013 we noticed cracking and breaking around the passenger and rear door handles. We utilize the rear doors for our grandchildren. By february 2014 the rear door behind the driver had broken and has apparently unattached the mechanism that opens the door, which now is unable to exit the vehicle through that door. When this incident occurred i went online and saw that it was a common defect with this make and model. I contacted jeep and jeep dealer. No one responded back from complaint from jeep. The dealer told us it would cost $550 per door to repair. When i contacted jeep i asked how many casualties does it take for a recall. My granddaughters sit back there and could never exit the vehicle in an emergency situation. The handles are made of plastic as is the piece it is connected too.they actually sell replacement repair kits for this on lineand dealership where we purchased said it would replace them for a large fee if i purchased the repair kit. Since this is a known defect and safety issue i don't feel we should have to pay to repair something that should have been a manufacturing recall. If the vehicle would catch on fire there would be fatalities.. The strongest handle is the drivers door?? which means it would take a lot longer for this one to break, do you think they knew this when manufacturing??

Broken interior door handles (driver and front passenger) and cannot open the doors from inside.i found many complaints online with similar problem. I am very concerned an accident can occur and we would be trapped because the doors cannot be opened from the inside.
I was driving to work on a highway and proceeded to change lanes into the left lane, immediately lost control of the vehicle and could not get it under control. I ended up in crashing into the safety cables in the middle of the road. It really did some damage. I managed to not his other vehicles during this scary incident. This was reported to our insurance company and we still have the vehicle.
I purchased this vehicle in 2011, i was the second owner. The left rear plastic behind the door handle was severely cracked, at the time of purchase the dealer replaced this one and stated that it cost $500.00 per door to replace. The two of the three remaining doors had hairline cracks and were barley noticeable. In october 2011 had a passenger in the right rear seat. When they tried to get out they could not. I opened the door from the outside. Thought i had the child proof locks on.there was a big chunk of plastic missing behind the door handle on this side. It did not occur to me that anything was wrong until 04/31/2012 when a large piece of plastic fell inside the door from behind the drivers door handle. Then i started reading about all the problems with these doors on theinternet. The door handles will fall out, because there is nothing to hold them in place. Now i have 2 doors with big chunks of plastic missing and the third door is severely cracked. Called chrysler, opened a case. They called offered to fix them for $500.00. They told me my vehicle was out of warranty. I told them that i had nothing to do with warranty, it was a safety issue if you could not get out of the car. They were not willing to fix it. This is a safety issue!if the vehicle caught on fire and you could not get out you would be burned alive.
The undercarriage has practically dissolved. The metal is too thin or it should of had a protective coating. Perhaps both.*dt
In march of 2013 the right door in the back seat handle cracked, at first you were still able to open it then one day it completely broke off and now you can no longer open it from the inside, at first i thought maybe my daughter had pulled a little to hard on it, then i started to look at the all 3 other door handles and they are all cracked and slowly starting to break like the right rear door. I called the dealer and they told me that i has to replace all the door panels for $250.00 each there was no way to just replace the actual handle.

The door panels on our 2005 jeep grand cherokee cracked around the door handles.the door handle broke and the rear door will not open, trapping the passengers in the rear seat.
2005 grand cherokee laredo the door handles are made of a defective plastic and brakes into several pieces living the door handle unable to open the doors from inside. For people who have children this is a safety issue because if you are in a wreck or in case of a fire the passengers in the back seat is unable to open the door. I believe jeep should recall the door handles at no cost to their customers. I have a 2005 jeep and 3 of the 4 handles have already broken. I have checked into fixing the problem and the cost would be $400.00/door and this is unacceptable do to the fact the cost of vehicles are at a record high you should haveto replace door handles ever 5 years. I havealways drove a chevy. Or ford product and have never experienced such a unacceptable problem. Iam starting to doubt my decision on purchasing a jeep product.
Vehicle had bird droppings on hood. Washed off same day and ate right through paint down to metal. Jeep will not cover repairs. Noticed that clear coat either does not exist on this vehicle or is very thin. Noticed other spots where bird droppings have left marks on paint and chips in paint all over vehicle. I have owned several vehicles and never have seen paint this bad.
2005 jeep grand cherokee.all 4 interior door trim panels have cracked and broken surrounding the door lever making it impossible to get out of my car.this issue has happened in numerous 2005 jeeps.recall is needed.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. Both front and rear passenger door panels have broken and cracked. The pfront passenger door handle on the inside is now inoperable. It is now permanently inoperable on a vehicle with only 31,000 miles on it. So far the dealer claims no recalls are available and the price to replace is about 800 per door.
All door handles are broken on the inside.these have not been used improperly.the plastic behind the handle is very weak and it breaks.neither of my back doors can be opened from the inside.i am completely restricted from using the back seat of my car because if an accident were to occur, anyone in the back seat would be trapped inside the vehicle.front doors are equally broken but can be opened after a few tries.the hazard is still there for myself and anyone in the front seat.although this plastic is an independent piece, the dealer will only sell the whole indoor panel at $500.00 each door panel plus labor.i called to file a complaint with chrysler and they responded "you are on your own.the are no recalls or warranty.you have to pay it on your own".then i try to find generic or aftermarket handles and realize that literally every shop i visited has dozens of customers with my same car and my same problem, some that chrysler responded to and some that they did not.anyways, it is a serious defect on the jeep grand cherokee 2005 indoor handles that is putting people's lives at risk and chrysler is not doing anything about it but bully their customers and avoiding their responsibility.
2005 jeep grand cherokee... Appx 2-3 yrs ago, driver side door handle separated from door panel. Finally got dealer to fix under warranty.appx 3-6 mos ago, same thing happened to other 3 doors -- called chrysler customer care and told because of mileage (appx 80k) and age of vehicle... No extended warranty was forthcoming... Dealer estimates $600-$900 per door.safety issue... Doors can not be opened except from the outside. In event of accident, rear occupants would be unable to open doors and escape vehicle in timely manner.
Door handles on all four door have cracked and broken with normal use ,we are afraid we will need to exit vehicle in a hurry and now we have to roll down the windows to exit vehicle this is a severe safety issue that needs to be addressed bychrysler before someone is injured.
While driving agt 40 mph and above if one back window is open the car starts to shake. By the time you reach 60 mph the shaking is out of control. I went to the dealer and he claims this normal wind rattle. I disagree.
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 have paid close attention to the same year that i own and 90% of the time you see the cracks at the handles inside.please lets figure something out before people lose there kids life or there own life.
Normal door use, door handles cracking then breaking. Worried about safety. Unable to exit door in an emergency. Would have to be let out.nothing done to repair. Three out of the four are broken. Jeep will not recall or repair.only way to exit vehicle is to be let out from exterior.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited hemi engine, door panel cracks leaving handles broken off in rear, two front door handles show signs of severe cracks, loose.contacted local dealer who said they would cover a portion of the replacement, no recalls were issued etc..this vehicle on occasion has children as passengers and i would think chrysler would be concerned for the safety of passengers with door handles that are broken.it appears that the material that these parts are made of are very low quality and i am shocked that the manufacture has not stepped up to the plate and paid for the replacement.after what i have read on blogs and on line about the same complaint from other jeep owners, this makes me consider not buying another chrysler product in the future.
Door panel handles cracked on all 4 doors,unable to exit the vehicle from the back.passengers are unable to open door.plastic cracked and finally gave way in the rear of vehicle,front doors are cracked and very close to giving way. Huge safety issue here. Defected materials, date indeterminable of issue based on defects.
I attempted to install a car seat for a 3 year old child in the back seat of my 2005 grand cherokee.however, the head rest interfered with proper installation of the car seat.the head rest would not allow the seat to be tightly mounted to the back seat of the car, but rather held the child seat out by about 2-3 inches.this prevented the seat from being safely installed.it is very difficult to remove the head rest from this vehicle.i had to take it to the dealer to get this done.but when the head rest is removed, there are two "prongs" that protrude out, making the situation even more dangerous.i called chrysler to get advice on what to do.they said go to the dealer, but the dealer could not solve the problem either.i then called chrysler again, and they insisted this is not a problem.but it is!daimler-chrylser needs to address this problem.it is a design flow.at the very least they should provide a list of infant car seats that can be properly installed -- if any such seats exist.
Interior door panels are cracking & breaking apart around handles.three of four doors already have damage, am waiting for rear passenger door to do the same.purchased 2005 jeep, used, w/ less than 21,000 miles on odometer, no visible damage at that time.rear doors are rarely used as we usually only have the driver or driver and one passenger in the vehicle.have been in contact w/ jeep/chrysler, however, they maintain that:the vehicle is out of 3 yr/36000 mile warranty; it was purchased used; therefore, they will not help to repair this, even though it is a safety issue, and obviously the door panels were defective initially.customer service @ chrysler even suggested that i go to a dealer & have them inspect this. I asked if the dealer would have a 'plastics professional' on hand to be able to say that the panels were defective, of course the answer is 'no'.dealers will only do what chrysler tells them, and so far, we're not getting anywhere w/ them.help!!!
I now have 2 interior door on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee that have broken door handles.the third one has a small crack that will probably grow and become like the others.
I purchased the grand cherokee just the day before the incident. When i purchased it i did notice on driver side door plastic was broken around handle but was still operational. The next day my daughter was getting out of front passenger door when plastic broke around handle and handle itself would not work. I did some research online and saw that thousands of grand cherokee owners have had the same exact problem. There was even a guy who started making and selling his own replacement kit. This could be a huge safety issue if something were to happen and driver or passengers needed to exit vehicle immediately and could not if windows didn't work to use exterior handle to exit. Why hasn't this been recalled?
Notice cracks on 3 door panels about 2 1/2 years then about 2 years ago all 3 panels broke in peices now its very unsafe as doors will not open from inside car 2 front doors an 1 rear door...
2005 jeep grand cherokee - interior door handles brokenall of the interior door handles on my vehicle have broken.apparently the only available fix is to replace the entire door panel assembly.i have solicited quotations for each panel, and the lowest offered price has been $750/panel.based upon the fact that 4 of 4 handles have broken in the same manner, i believe it sound to conclude the handle suffers from a hidden vice or defect.luckily, i live in a state that allows recovery for breach of the warranty against redhibition.however, i can only imagine the disappointment and anger for like consumers who have no recourse to address this defect.please do the right thing and persuade the manufacture to remedy via recall.
The driver interior door handle plastic mount broke. No abuse, no excessive wear and tear.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and all of my door handles are broken and/or missing.this causes massive concern for the safety of any passengers in my car. You cannot operate the doors from the inside and if we get into a wreck, they would be unable to get out of the vehicle.i have researched this problem online and it is ridiculous that the parts are so cheap and jeep will not do a recall to fix the problem.most consumers do not have $2000.00 to have the doors repaired with the same cheap plastic to end up in the same situation again. Please jeep, do something about this problem asap!!!!!!!!
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that nhtsa campaign number: 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline , structure) had surpassed a reasonable time for repair. The dealer was contacted and advised that the part was not available for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure.
The interiordoor handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee are all broken.two of them are inoperable.the cheap material used by the manufacturer should be recalled as it cracks very easily. Once the inside handle is broken the door can not be opened from the inside. This is a safety concern in case of a fire or accident.the dealer says the whole door panel would have to be replaced and not just the handle, as they are attached together.the cost of each panel is approximately $700 each.
Unsure of the specific incident date.the failure is the plastic molding around the inside door handle for 3 out of 4 doors.the plastic has broken, exposing the inside mechanics and allowing for the handled to extend further than necessary.this makes exit questionable as the door handle is only holding on to the latch without any place for leverage.in the event of an accident/emergency, if the door was to be involved it is possible the handle would suffer further damage and be unable to operate.there has been nothing done about replacing the part.it costs roughly $700 per door to repair.
Three of my inside door handles broke off, called jeep thay only sell the door panel about$600.00 for one door panel installed i think jeep needs to recall to fix this problem thanks [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Please save the children!the front passenger side and both rear passenger interior door handle latches don't function and no one can get out of the vehicle.only the driver can exit the vehicle.my husband carpools our child and neighborhood children to school.we took our car into get it repaired at tallahassee dodge chrysler jeep today and they quoted us $650 per door or $1,950.the blue book value of the car is less than that.why is there not an nhtsb recall on these?i've seen thousands of complains online.please help!this is madness! it is an obvious defect.if you review the complaints, you will see that most of those affected have lost functionality in all four doors and the driver can't even get out of the car.we are, unfortunately, waiting for that to happen, as well.thank you, kindly, for your consideration.the vehicle was stationary, as we were trying to exit the car.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the plastic interior doors handles were cracked. The front driver's side and both rear doors exhibited the failure and could not be engaged.

The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was advised that the door handles, the molding and the frame of the door would need replacing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70000.
The jeep grand cherokee interior door panels are defective .the handles are all plastic and they all break off from the door panel.jeep has refused to do anything about it.they have a waiting list for new door panels and they will not produce the part to fix this safety issue.this is a very unsafe problem that could cost a life if the person reaches for the handle to get out of the car and cannot. They need to make this a recall and issue parts to replace this for free for owners of the jeeps.
All 4 interior door opening handles are breaking/failing.rear door totally inoperable.this is a dangerous safety issue.in an emergency situation, passengers may not be able to exit the vehicle, causing injury or death. Manufacturer safety recall warranted!
Interior, front, right and left door handles inoperable due to plastic mount breaking. Make egress with window up impossible. Our side door handle must be used to exit vehicle.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the rear door handles had fractured and detached from the vehicle. The dealer inspected the door handles and advise that the failure was normal wear and tear. The contact spoke to the manufacturer and was told that the door handles were not covered under warranty. The failure mileage was unknown but the current mileage was 80,000. Updated 10/27/2011 *ln
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee has suffered the already filed complaint regarding the inferior interior door handle breakage.please get the manufacturer to recall and fix this safety issue.
All 4 interior door opening handles breaking/failing: both rear doors totally inoperable. ***this is a dangerous safety issuehandles are inoperable in emergency situations, passengers will not be able to exit the vehicle, likely causing serious injury or death!*** manufacturer refuses to and replace/repair handles is prohibitively expensive! manufacturer safety recall warranted.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the plastic around the front interior door handles was disconnected from the door. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 99,000.
Driver's side door handle came apart. Replaced door handle. Now the two back seat door handles are coming apart. This is a safety hazard in that if there is an accident, there is no way for the passengers in the back to get out. Especially a problem if there are children sitting in the back. It never should be that all door handles on a car come apart.
The door panels in the front row have cracked and broken to the point where the door handle is just hanging. You can not get out of the car using the door handles from the inside. You must either reach out the window our have someone open it from the outside. The same thing happened in 2015 to the rear door panels/handles. This is not normal wear or tear. The dealership agreed. This is a major safety issue as one can not get out of the car quickly if needed. Door panels should just not crack, especially all four. There must be an issue with the materials that were used. There is not fix for the door handles except to replace the door panels, which is costly. Please look into this safety issue.thank you.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the driver side door handle detached as the contact attempted to enter the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that the handle would need to be replaced and the contact would have to purchase the necessary parts needed for repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who offered no further assistance. The failure mileage was 50,000.
All four of my door handles in my 2005 jeep grand cherokee developed cracks in them between 2011-2012. The back left passenger has completely broken out and my son is no longer able to exit my jeep from that door. The driver's side door handle is the next to go. This will leave me unable to exit my jeep.this is a vehicle safety issue that i am very concerned about. I spoke to service advisor at airpark chrysler/jeep that said he had never heard/seen that before and there was nothing he could do to help me.i have researched on the internet for recalls and it appears that jeep is not willing to recall this major vehicle safety issue with hundreds of complaints about the same defective plastic door handles.
Last year i began noticing that plastic pieces were falling from the back cover of the interior door handles.i took the vehicle to the dealer to see if there was a recall on these vehicles since i consider that this was a safety issue.the handles are completely loose and i have to stick out my arm to open the doors from the outside.i don't even want to imagine what could happen if in an accident.the cost of repairingthis is approximately $2,000 since it is necessary to purchase the interior door panel.
Interior door handle assemblies are defective. Break and non functional under regular use and normal wear. Unable to safely exit vehicle.
The problem of defective door handles started when the car was about four years old and has gotten progressively worse.there have now been two incidents of door handles breaking off completely and there is soon to be a third.as of now both inside door handles for back seat doors are completely broken off making it impossible to exit the back doors from inside the vehicle unless you open the window and reach through to unlock the door from outside.the vehicle has power windows making it even more difficult to exit the rear doors of the vehicle in case of an emergency.the door handle on the driver's side is still functional but is badly cracked and a piece of plastic has now fallen off.it is now very close to breaking off.(it is only a matter of time until it is completely broken).the material that these door handles are made from is of very poor quality.i am worried that the driver's door handle may break now and in case of a fire or other emergency the driver and backseat passengers will be unable to exit the vehicle safely.your attention to this matter of safety is appreciated.
The casings behind the inside door latch began to gradually deteriorate until all four door casings cracked which resulted in difficulty exiting the vehicle. Three of the four handles have broken off completely, rendering the doors useless.
When opening the passenger side door i noticed it was cracking. I just purchased the car used and found that all 4 door have the same issue though the back doors are far worse. This needs to be repaired asap. And jeep will not cover the cost for repair as it's not on their recall list. It can result in injury if there is an emergency and the passengers cannot open the doors
Door handlesbroken driver sideand rearpassenger door handle alsobroken.plastic broken that hold handle in place.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that all four interior door handles were fractured. The occupants would have to engage the exterior door handles by to exit the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000. The vin was unavailable.
Interior door handle assembly has cracked on all 4 doors (handle has completely fallen off on right rear passenger door) and handles are now inoperable. This is a huge safety hazaard. Driver and passengers are unable to open doors from the inside. If in an accident there would be no way for the occupants of this vehicle to easily exit. Jeep/chrysler does not acknowledge that this is a known problem on this vehicle. The only option available is to replace the entire interior door panel which is approximately $700+ per door. This is absolutely absurd. Jeep/chrysler needs to recall these vehicles and fix this issue before someone is killed because they are trapped inside a vehicle whose doors will not open from the inside.
When opening up the right rear passenger door, the door latch broke off in my daughters hand. No force able opening had been done, this was in a parked position stopped in a parking lot stall. I do not allow any passengers on this side for fear of not being able to get out in case of an emergency.
Interior door handles have cracked and broken causing the handle to becompletely unusable from the inside of the vehicle.driver has to open window and access the exterior door handle to open the door.back seat passengers are unable to get out without exterior assistance. This a safety concern as the passengers may not be able to exit the vehicle easily in case of an accident.
Plastic framing around front and rear passenger inside door handles cracked and disintegrated, leaving door handles unusable.passengers cannot exit the vehicle without door being opened from outside the vehicle.
Broken interior door handles and can't open door from inside. I have read lots of people having same issues with jeep grand cherokee.

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. This present a very dangerous situation if traveling on a two lane rural road.
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.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the door handle was fractured. In addition, the contact mentioned that water was entering the vehicle through the range door gasket. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 139,718.
All of the interior door handles molding are broken and because of that, you can not open the doors from the inside using the doors handles.you have to let down the windows to open both of the back and front passenger doors in order to get out of the car. The driver side is beginning to have the same trouble with opening. The dealer price for replacement cost is about $2500.00 not including labor. I checked the internet for a solution only to discover that is a major problem with this year's model and many complaints have been filed with chrysler. All said that chrysler refused to help with the problem which is very costly for the average working person. To me it is a serious safety hazard when driving the car. What if the car catches fire, or rollover in a accident or goes in a body of water? i am hesitate to drive the vehicle because of that. All car owners expect to make repairs to their vehicle from daily use. However, it should not be the owner responsibility to pay for a repair when it is a know fact that many ownersare having the same problem on the same model and year of the vehicle. Chrysler should be made to have recall to correct the problem.
The driver side interior door handle began to crack, followed by the other three interior door handles.i can barely open any of the doors from the inside at this point.i fear that very soon, i won't be able to open any of the doors from the inside at all rendering my vehicle useless.this is obviously a factory defect that i could not have caused by myself.the door handles on my vehicle should not be falling apart after only six years.the poor quality of the plastic used tomake the door panels is clearly the problem.i cannot afford to replace all four door panels on my own, nor do i feel that i should take full responsibility for cost.i am extremely frustrated and upset by the disappointing quality of the vehicle and the current state of the economy is not making things easier for me.
The area right above all 4 door handles are cracked and ready to come off the door. Which would leave me with no way to exit my car.
The right rear door handle has broken off making it impossible to open the door from the inside. The plastic that the handle mounts to has completely disintegrated and the right front door is starting to do the same thing. The vehicle is otherwise in excellent condition and has been impeccably maintained. After researching this issue i found that this appears to be a chronic problem. This is a serious safety concern as it is impossible to exit the vehicle from these doors.
All of our interior door handles have cracked and the drivers side no longer works.each is cracking in the same way leading me to believe it is an engineering problem not just a regular use problem.we can no longer get in or out of the vehicle from the drivers positiion.
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.
The front passenger door handle on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee has broken off and is unusable. , the plastic supporting the interior door handle has broken, leaving the handle unmounted and useless the other three are cracking and will be breaking off soon. The handles and the supporting door frames are all cracking in the same location and the handles then fall off. The manufacturer has been unwilling to accept responsibility for the issue. They declined my claim with my 100,000 mile 7 year maximum care upgrade extended warranty.at first they offered (then retracted) a goodwill gesture of covering all but $500 for the replacement. They do not consider this a safety issue! this is an unacceptable safety hazard. I hope you will address as a recall before someone is seriously injured because they cannot get out of the vehicle.
Rear door pockets completely cracked and broke out, making it impossible to open doors from the inside. Front door pockets are cracked and broken also but not completely yet. Purchased vehicle used from dealer on december 2008 at 33000 miles vehicle is in excellent condition accept for door pockets. Contacted manufacture on safety issue and made complaint over phone, never received a response from manufacture.
The plastic surrounding the interior door handles on 3 of the doors has broken away. One of those doors now cannot be opened from inside the vehicle. This issue could be very dangerous if there is a wreck and/or fire that the occupant needs to exit the vehicle quickly. A quick search on the internet reveals that this is a huge problems in models 2005-2010
Interior passenger door handle/panel is totally broken out.tried several different methods of saving it from doing so, but to no avail, it is totally gone.have read several items via the internet for about a year not stating that this is a known problem by jeep drivers, but jeep has offered no assistance on this matter.i feel that this is a huge safety issue, as to once you cannot open the door from the inside, you put yourself at an enormous risk for getting someone stuck inside during a crash.
Interior door handles .cracked plastic causes door handles to not work.normal operation of handle causes breaks in plastic .hazard only able to open door from outside ,if accident or fire can only open door from outside.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. I just hit 50,000 miles, and it is sporadic at best that i have passengers in the rear. I have kept my vehicle in immaculate condition. However, both of my rear door handles are completely broken. I have to open the doors from the outside. My front two door handles are cracked with pieces missing but still operational for the moment, but i'm sure it's only a matter of time. If i were in an accident and rendered unconscious my rear passengers have no way of exiting the vehicle in case of fire or other event would require a quick exit. This is absolutely a safety hazard due to a manufacturer defect.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The failure mileage was 45,000.
The interior door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee are all broken. Two of them are inoperable. The cheap material used by the manufacturer should be recalled as it cracks very easily. Once the inside handle is broken the door can not be opened from the inside. This is a safety concern in case of a fire or accident. The dealer says the whole door panel would have to be replaced and not just the handle, as they are attached together. The cost of each panel is approximately $700 each.
On all interior door handles, the plastic backing that is recessed or 'cupped' behind the actual silver handles you pull to open the doors has cracked.the back left door cracked to a degree where the handle separated from the opening cable, so the door can not be opened from the inside.the driver door is close.all handles show the same sign of cracking though. If there was an accident, my children in the back would have a hard time getting out.
All 4 interior door latches broken- 3 will not open from inside!!!!!!! will happily join any class action suit! 3rd jeep owned but now last one!
All four inside door handles have crumbled and fallen completely apart, a potential for a significant safety issue may occur. Based onmy research this issue seems to be very common for 2005-2007 jeeps and the cost to fix the problem is excessive, a national recall should be issued.
The inside door handles have been breaking off over the past two years. Only down to one left on the driver's side. Too expensive to fix at dealership. Severe safety issue.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that all four interior door handles were fractured and as a result, three of the doors were unable to be opened from the inside of the vehicle.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 149,000.
The inside plastic that mounts the door handles continues to crack and break away leaving the handles unmounted. This must be a safety hazard because any point in time the handles could stop functioning leaving the driver and passengers trapped inside.once this plastic broke away it was almost impossible to open the door from the inside.
All 4 interior door handles have broken off the car after regular use.makes it impossible to leave the vehicle without someone opening it from the outside.extremely dangerous.the plastic that makes up the door handle breaks apart because it was poorly made. This would be extremely deadly if it happened to someone during a fire in the car.

I was sitting at a red light and a florida state trooper was behind me, also stopped.when the light turned green, the cars in front of me started to move forward so i took my foot off of the brake to ease forward, awaiting to hit the gas when the trooper hit his gas, slamming into the back of my jeep so hard that it lifted the back of my jeep up and forced the front end to hit the vehicle in front of me at the bottom of his rear bumper - pushing me forward into the car in front of me approximately 7 feet.my jeep stalled during the hit but the air bags did not deploy.
Theinterior door handles are breaking.my driver's side door handle has completely broken off which makes an escape in case of an emergency. This affects all interior handles. And is affecting several thousand owners of jeeps gc and the cost of the repair is prohibitive.this is a safety issue that should be addressed by the company who chose to use frail plastic that breaks easily.
3 of the interior door handles are cracked, the driver and passenger door handles and rear driver side passenger, this is a dangerous safety issue, if handle completely breaks in an emergency situation passengers would not be able to exit the vehicle causing serious injury or death.

3 out of the 4 interior door handles in my 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited have severely cracked and are even missing parts of the panel. During my research online i have found that i am no where near the only one having this issue with these models and it appears to be a manufacturer defect.
Broken rear door handel's rear doors won't open from inside. My children and other passengers are trapped inside until i get out and unlock doors then open the doors from the outside for them. Could be a safety hazard, if wreck or something happened to front doors and was trapped inside i could not exit except thru rear doors but.they do not open from.inside potentially making it impossible to get out. This is a safety hazard and shouldbe fixed.
Three of the door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee have broken off and are unusable. The other two are cracking and i am fearful that they will be breaking off soon. The handles and the supporting door frames are all cracking in the same location and the handles then fall off. The manufacturer has been unwilling to even discuss the issue. The dealer states it is $700 -$900 per door to fix. Parts to fix the door handles are unavailable for sale outside the dealerships. Due to the safety issue of being unable to exit the back seat area from the inside, i am unable to allow anyone to ride in the back seats at this time. If an accident were to occur, they would be unable to exit the car from the inside. There are numerous complaints posted as well as a website where hundreds of people are stating the same exact issue with their 2005 jeep. There was not any outside circumstances that caused this defect. The dealer states it is normal wear and tear. This is an unacceptable safety hazard. I hope you will address as a recall before someone is seriously injured because they cannot get out of the vehicle.here is a link to a website with tons of complains on this issuehttp://www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2010/11/jeep-grand-cherokee-interior-door-handle-broken-recall/#comment-11230
There is a known issue on the jeep grand cherokee 2005 model where the interior door handle housing cracks and the handle falls and becomes unusable. This happens on all doors of car but the first one to go in my case was the drivers side door. Once the handle falls you are unable to get out of the car using that door. In the event of an emergency this could be extremely hazardous. Jeep has not provided a fix except to replace the entire door. A recall is needed as almost everyone with this model of car is having the same issue.
Door handle broke off on the driver door and every door handle is about to break. Due to very weak and dry plastic used to make from jeep. Extreme safety hazard for all of the occupants of the vehicle especially in an emergency situation. Children or adults in seats not knowing how to get out of car in an emergency could be deadly. Jeep should have a recall on this situation.
On my jeep all four door panels are broken the plastic is too cheap i think it's a safety issue that needs to be fixed by daimler chrysler ,jeep if there is a recall on this items or a what to fix them for a cheaper price than the dealer price which is $700.00 per door please let me know because the handles are just laying in a black hole on the panel my email is[xxx]thanks information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Broken interior door handles. Passenger back handle is completely gone, door cannot be opened from inside. Driver side front is about to fall out and the other 2 are cracked. This is a serious defect. If the doors cannot be opened from inside, passengers and driver can be trapped in an accident.

In route to open gym for my 3yr old, after exiting expressway in traffic approx 5-7mins, suv shuts off. After it shut off it would nt start for approx 4 mins, it did not fully crank yet cranked, in a putting pattern, i was able to pull it out of traffic into an office park located at 3525 piedmont rd ne atl, ga 30308 in front of building 7 entering from piedmont rd. Once parked, my temp gauge was on hot panned hard right, the suv would not start, i allowed it to cool down to halfway, during that time i made 4 attempts to start the suv. Each time it would putter, or sound as if it was out of gas. Once suv cooled to half i attempted to start and it started in the same putter fashion as before, yet appearing to catch as if it was start normal, all the while smoking out the back a slight pop could be heard coming from underneath the front of the vehicle, yet as it appeared to start i would give it gas with hopes that it would catch and then it just shut off and started smoking and there was a noticeably different odor that my 3 yr old and i smelled, from there i got out of the truck to see if the smoke was coming from the radiator, since the temp gauge was just on hot, i notice there was a fire burning in the lower back of the engine region, i immediately lowered the hood due to not having anything to prop it open with, i immediately got my 3 yr old son out of the vehicle to safety, i return to get his car seat and anything to hopefully salvage, i then return to the suv to put out the fire out as best i could, i appeared to out on both sides and just smoking badly. Called a ride to take me and my 3yr old home. The following day i checked the suv, the engine area, hood, front windshield had completely burned, there is no hood area, the hood is in the windshield, and everything else forward chard and melted, to the yellow pieces, iwas able to take photos, and a video.
I was pulling into my driveway and the vehicle shut off and the brakes would not stop and my car ran into my pump house.
The door handles easily crack off of the door panel which prevents the door from being able to be opened. This is a safety issue. And it can not be replaced without the whole door panel being replaced.
Vehicle stalls at random, and looses power steering capability, can cause a crash on windy roads. Very scary.has been to dealer multiple times in arizona and has not been able to fix. They tried to fix it under warranty and under extended warranty from chrysler. Also when vehicle stalls looses power, can't immediately open windows or doors.doors on this vehicle also interior handles all were broken prematurely right after warranty expired at 48000 miles.this second problem is so common that dealer doesn't have part in stock, factory back order and jeep won't fix it. This second problem is a safety issue as well because can't open door, with handle from inside in az 110 f can be deadly, or during a crash or fire
All four interior door handles have cracked and crumbled apart.this is a huge safety risk for myself and my family.the cost of replacing the door panels is quite large as the jeep/chrysler company does not provide nor make door handles alone.as the car is a 2005 there is no warranty and at this point i do not locate a recall on this obviously defective part.due to the fact that jeep made this with a cheap plastic, the inability to safely get out of the vehicle is an obvious issue.jeep needs to replace these parts and not at the expense of the owners.the safety issue is obvious and due to the simple fact this is not due to abuse or mishandleing by myself or any other family member in my vehicle it needs to be addressed.the rest of my car interior is fine and not in need of repair.i have read and noticed a lot of other individuals with the very same issue and have filed a complaint.i am not requesting a replacement car but i am requesting that the integrity of the jeep brand be corrected for the safety of myself and my family.i have to get out of the car to open the car doors for my family members.if we are in a wreck or have a fire we could all be lost simply due to a cheaply made door handle that the jeep company does not choose to replace.this should be a customer satisfaction issue as well.but the safety is of utmost importance.there is also a lot of aftermarket door handles being made due to the cost jeep is charging almost 400 per door panel.however the safety of these parts are not really known.jeep is informing as i call that they do not use after market parts only jeep parts.i say that if that is the case then jeep needs to own up to its design problem and secure the safety of the people that are driving in these vehicles.
I drove into an advance autoparking and when i was driving the car seem to accelerated and i could not turn the wheel on the car i tried to push the brakes to stop the car but the braking system was not working. I could not turn the wheel and the braking system was not working and i started to panic. My car ran right into a metal pole and totaled my car. The police at the seen told me and my husband that the impact that the vehicle took, the airbags should of came out, but they did not. My car is totaled and the body of the car in the front is split in half.
Interior door latch on rear driver and passenger side door completely broke off and drivers side front door latch beginning to crack around plastic and incur same problem. This is a huge safety issue in case of accident or fire one would be trapped inside vehicle unable to exit presumably dying from injuries. This is an obvious on going problem with the jeep cherokee and i feel chrysler needs to own responsibility for this and incur the expense of all repairs.
The plastic part of the inside door panel which holds the door handle broke so i am unable to open the door from the front driver's side. I can't get out of the car without climbing over to the passenger side of the car. I believe this is a safety issue. This appears to be a common problem with this particular model/year. The passenger side is cracked as well so i expect this will break over time.
On june 11, 2013, i pulled into a convenience store parking lot. I put my (2005 jeep grand cherokee) in park & got out (the engine was still running). After a moment or so, my jeep started rolling forward. It rolled between the fueling islands & it was headed towards the street. My jeep hit a yellow pole & that stopped it from rolling into the street. (the yellow pole is a safety pole that protects the fire hydrant). I am 100% confident that i put my jeep in park before i got out of it. I was shocked & scared when i saw it rolling down the lot. I filed an accident claim with my insurance company. The damage was around $6,000. My deductible was $500. Today, (august 13, 2013), i received a safety recall notice from chrysler. The reason for the recall is the "final drive controller module software may unintentionally cause the transfer case to shift into the neutral position without input from the driver. This condition could allow the vehicle to roll away inadvertently while the vehicle is parked and cause a crash without warning."i was (and i still am) 100% confident that i put my vehicle in park before i got out of it. What are my options at this point? my insurance company paid the claim & i paid my deductible. Now, my insurance rates will go up. Who should be responsible for this? how do i proceed?
Interior door handles cracked, loose, and about ready to break off. If an accident/fire were to occur, it would leave interior occupants trapped inside the vehicle if you pull on the handles too hard. This is definitely a case of poor construction/design. Needs to be addressed.
Door handles disentegratedunusable.
All four door handle assembly system are gone 100% crumbled !! the handles are just hanging there.any passengers in back seat can't get out of vehicle and according to my research this is a problem with thousands of these vehicles...the door handle casing assembly should be recalled immediately or do you just wait for someone to perish from not being able to open these doors??
The interior door handles are connected by piece of cheap plastic and the plastic breaks easily; rendering the interior handles useless. It's happening on 3 of my 4 handles. It's a safety issue because it makes the indoor handles un-useable. If involved in an accident, it may make it difficult, if not impossible to exit the vehicle. There are many,many complaints. I believe it's involves most grand cherokees from years 2005-2010 and jeep is aware of the issue. However they have offered no resolution other than replacing them. This requires replacing the entire interior door panel at an expense of at least $500 per door.i as well as many others can not afford to replace them. Nor should consumers have to foot the bills for an obvious, costly and dangerous design flaw.
The two back inside door handles are cracked and broken. The rear passenger side door cannot be opened from the inside. The passenger side door handle is also cracked and its a matter of time before all doors cannot be opened from the inside.
The blend air doors break or fall apart and no longer work! always heat! blend doors are crap. This is something!
Interior door handles cracking andbreaking not able to open the doors from insidethey have been replaced but still break. Chrysler refuses to do anything about it
The plactic cup that hold the inside door handles are broken on all 4 of my doors making the 2 back doors impossible to open from the inside. It is only a matter of time before the front 2 doors will be unable to open from the inside... Making this a safety hazard if there is an accident where you need to exit the vehicle
Have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The interior door panels are all cracked and handles to open the doors are beginning to break.this car is usedprimarily as a single passenger car, back doors are rarely used yet still are breaking.. If there is ever an accident and those doors are the only escape route, they may render the passengers trapped in the car.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the interior door handles started breaking from the plastic they are attached to about a year ago.the drivers door is completely broken i do not have any warranty left on the car and looked into fixing and found out that one door alone the part would be $660 before labor. I have all four doors that need to be fixed. I called to speak to the dealership and told them that this was a serious problem and believe the doors are made of cheap or defective parts and was told they could not help me because of the miles on my car. They told me they would not do anything about helping on the costs, i have heard that other folks have been helped with 50% of the costs. I know that there is a serious problem because i also have a vw and volvo and they are near the same age and do not have anything wrong with them. The safety issue is that the only way someone can get out of the car is to put the window down to open from the outside. They are electric windows so if in an accident it could become tragic.i believe that this should be a recall item for any 2005 vehicle no matter how many miles on the car. I have seen sooo many complaints on the 2005 model having this issue. It is a serious problem that should be required to be fixed by the company. The car has had normal wear and tear. Thankyou
With the first door handle that busted, i thought i might have used too much power but as they all shattered i realized that theinterior door handles are made with bad material that is brittle and can not tolerate normal wear and tear. Clearly a safety hazard to be riding a vehicule, whether as the driver or passenger, and if an emergency calls for you to abandon it, as you pull the handle to open your door the handle brakes in your hand and leaves you trapped in.
2005 jeep grand cherokee has all 4 interior door handles cracked and broken and are unusable. These door handles are prone to failure. A simple search shares thousands of complaints of consumers experiencing the same issues with this 05-09 model vehicle. In the event of fire, crash, water intrusion, etc. Of the vehicle, inside occupants are unable to exit the vehicle safely, if at all. I am looking for support in requesting chrysler to offer a recall and correction for this safety concern.
I own a garage kept, 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited 2wd with approximately 80,000 miles.3 of the 4 interior door handles are severely cracking making it difficult to open the door.this is a safety concern because once they full break, the door in unable to be opened from the interior.cost to repair each door is over $800.i contacted jeep customer support on 6-22-15, but was told this was not a known issue and that there was no assistance they could provide in repairing the door.this is a well documented safety issue and needs to be address so that consumers can get assistance in dealing with the safety problem.
Door handle cracked if there was fire and a frantic person used it, it would break. I feel this issue is a big safety hazard jeep should replace with better material it already has to go in for a different recall.
Nhtsa!'interior door opening handles breaking/failing: 1drivers doortotally 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 broke when being lightly used.the plastic cracked and the handle came off.it looks like this is a common issue.i email chrysler about this and they blew it off as no big deal.this is a big deal and a safety issue!!if the handle breaks at a time when emergency evacuation from the vehicle is needed then that person will become trapped.this needs to be addressed.
Door handles inside the vehicle are all broken, making it impossible to open doors inside the cabin.this of course makes for a considerable safety issue if driver or passenger needed to exit vehicle in case of an accident.jeep wants approximately $3000 to fix plastic handle supports.this should be a recall on all affected models.it seems to be a very common problem.but as usual, a class action lawsuit will probably be required to fix a simple $5 part.i find it completely unacceptable that this can not be fixed for a reasonable price.jeep is basically robbing the public for those who wish to pay the amount for the repair.
The inside driver door handle assembly has cracked and broken thus rendering the door a safety hazard should the driver need to exit the vehicle quickly.i contacted jeep and the only solution is to replace the entire interior door panel at a cost of $700 plus.this seems to be a pretty common defect with this model as well as the jeep commanders.
When backing into parking space the car took off like a rocket ship/full throttle (5.7 hemi) like it had a mind of it's own. The result was property damage (unknown amount) and car damage over $7600.00 not including car rental for 2 weeks. Chrysler sent inspector to body shop and their determination was they found nothing wrong and said the case is closed. A jeep/chrysler dealership replaced the throttle body january 31, 2014 under warranty.we know this was not driver error. It was the scariest 15 seconds of our lives and could have easily killed someone. Now we wonder when will it happen again? we would like to know, has there ever been an engine going to full throttle accident involving a 2005 jeep/chrysler product?
All four interior door handles are falling apart.one door handle is completely inoperable and as such the passenger is unable to open the door from the inside.this presents a huge safety issue.the driver's doorhandle is barely hanging on and i fear that soon i will not be able to open my door from the inside anymore.chrysler has yet to issue a recall on this very defective product.please pressure chrysler to issue a recall to address this issue.the cost to replace the door panels for all four doors is over $2,000.
Jeep 2005 door handle housing cracked on all 4 doors. Car has been well maintained. I replaced 1 in 2010 (passenger front at a cost of $700). Now the other 3 are cracked and 2 inoperable. This is a major safety issue as the doors must be opened from the outside.
Rear door of vehicle-trunk door-will sometimes not stay in place and has hit my fiance in the head a couple of times. Unsure of cause, or how to fix.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the driver and rear passenger interior door handles fractured while attempting to open the doors. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer denied assistance with the repair because the failure was not recalled. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 55,489.
The interior door handles are all broken because jeep decided to go with the cheap route instead of using quality parts. The door handles crumble with very little effort and make it impossible to get out of the car from the inside. This is a very serious problem because if there were an accident or if the car were to become submerged, i would not be able to open my door from the inside and i would die. I've seen many complaints from other jeep owners online and it is ridiculous that a factory defective part like this would not be recalled when it can cause a safety concern like this.
All 4 door handles of my 2005 jeep grand cherokee are broken. The 2 rear handles are completely broken off so the doors don't open from the inside. The 2 front handles are basically hanging by a thread. It's definitely a safety issue-if anyone, especially kids, were in the backseatthey would not be able to escape during an accident. While researching the recent ignition recall, i stumbled on many, many people with the same door handle problem - i thought our car was just a lemon! the cost to fix one door is $700 and certainly not in the budget so we've had to live with it!the potential safety risk of this should be of great concern and jeep should be required to fix it!!thank you.
Rear support beams splitting welds
The interior driver door panel is broken by the interior door handle.it started as a crack in the plastic by the handle.now there is a hole in the plastic behind the handle.because of this, the door handle has to be used very carefully.the whole panel has to be replaced at a cost of over $900.i am concerned that in an emergency, i would not be able to open the door from the inside.the back seat driver side door handle is also starting to crack.i feel this is a design flaw with the jeep.
Drivers side rear interior door handle broke away from plastic door panel,so we are now unable to open the door from inside the car.
The area where the door handles cracked and the handles are hanging from them, happened during a period of weeks, the doors and handles were used in the manner that they intended to be used. I have been looking on line and it seems to be a common complaint for this make and model so i think there must be a recall and the company should pay for the repairs. The local dealership wants to charge $250 to repair each door and it has been impossible for me to find used parts. Step-up to the plate jeep! the vehicle was not cheap and is not the buyer's fault that the company appears to use cheap parts for their vehicles.
The 2005 jeep grand cherokee has a very flawed interior door handle. The plastic molding of the interior door trim panel is composed of composite material that is susceptible cracking and breaking, at the focal point from which the door handle is located. All four of our interior door handles are broken, rendering our escape from the vehicle from an accident thru the use of our windows or windshields. After doing someresearch, i've discovered that this a common theme for this particular vehicle:http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f67/2005-broken-interior-door-handles-1132403/http://www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2010/11/jeep-grand-cherokee-interior-door-handle-broken-recall/http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums/showthread.php?511563-broken-rear-inside-door-handle-any-experienceshttp://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f16a9e4/88http://www.jeepgarage.org/f5/2005-wk-limited-with-broken-interior-door-panels-5834.htmljust to name a few from a simple google search. I find highly irresponsible for a corporation such as chrysler to not take ownership of the failure of their vehicles design. So i am begging you is there anything that i can do to remedy this situation? i honestly do believe that my fiance's jeep is unsafe to drive because if she is ever involved in an accident, she may not be able to get out of the vehicle in time. After contacting my local jeep dealership i was absolutely shocked from the solution to my problem.to replace the broken door handle on the vehicle, you must replace the entire interior door trim panel. Costs: front driver and passenger doors- $947.00 each; rear passenger doors- $640 each.
Since we purchased this vehicle, the rear door handles and the passenger door handles have been cracked. Over the course of us owning the vehicle for the past year the rear door handles no longer open from the inside. This is a not only a problem but a safety issue because if there would be an accident or a fire or anything people in the back seats would be stuck in the vehicle. I have read many, many similar issues regarding this issue and how jeep refuses to fix it unless you buy a whole new door panel which can be up to $600 a door. Chrysler should really recall these vehicles, it is a terrible design and something needs to be done.
Lo compre en el ao 2009 marzo quiero saber si es legalla camioneta.
Approx. 2012, the casing that the inside door handle sits on cracked and broke apart; and, as a result, the door could no longer be opened from the inside because the handle was no longer secured and just hanged. I noticed approx. A year ago that the handle's casing was cracked on both the back driver and front passenger sides.since, the back driver's side has broken and the door cannot be opened from the inside. I just noticed that the driver's side is also cracked and with time it will also break and the door can no longer be opened.this is a dangerous because once the casings break it does not allow anyone to exit from the vehicle.i am in awe that the issue has not been resolved when many others have the same safety concern. This is not a matter of wear and tear because very seldom does anyone sit in my back seats.no design or defect should compromise the handle where a passenger is not able to exit a car.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the plastic door panel area that was surrounding the handle became cracked on all four doors. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but the technician was unable to diagnose a reason for the failure. No repairs were done to the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified about the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000 and the current mileage was 97,000.
Panel behind the interior door handles are cracking, leaving the door handles flimsy and almost inoperable. Numerous complaints have been filed. Recall needs to be issued.
The door handle was made with cheap plastic and came completely off on one door. I have 3 kids, this is a huge safety concern if there is an accident they will not be able to get out. All 4 door handles have a crack in the handle ready to break off at any moment that is visible to anyone who looks at the door.
2 interior door opening handles breaking/failing: front passenger door totally inoperable. Driver door supporting interior is breaking and back doors cracking and breaking without anyone using them, my vehicle is in impeccable condition.***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;hope you will address as a recall before someone is seriously injured because they cannot get out of the vehicle in an emergency situation.
Within weeks of the purchase of this vehicle on 1/06, paint on bumper began to have small chip marks. As of 7/06 i have noticed more chip marks and also a rub mark where the paint has just rubbed off easily, with no structure damage to the bumper. Also paint nubs ( bubbling) around door handles and paint is coming off of driver door handle at creases. It seems as if paint is poorly applied.
All 4 plastic interior door handle brackets/inserts in 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited (4.7l) have disintegrated, making it impossible to get out of car w/o reaching outside.
Passenger opened up their door to exit the vehicle, and a hole cracked in the door panel next to the door handle.there was no abuse to the door, just a weak spot and defect in the manufacturing of the door panel.jeep does not sell just the inside door handle piece, they make you replace the whole door panel which is quite expensive!there are numerous complaints of the same thing happening to other jeep owners with vehicles of the same year.this is a safety issue if you cannot open a door in case of an accident or emergency!
The trunk door for this car does not stay open and hits your head of can close on your hand if you are not careful. I have taken it to the dealer and they told me that the parts that hold the door open need to be changed (they look like hydraulic arms).
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. The contact stated that the driver's side interior door handle fractured and the exterior handle had begun to fracture. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where they advised him that he would need to have the entire door panel replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. The vin was unavailable.
All four interior door handles have cracked and broken from regular wear.rear passenger door will now only open from the outside. I have spoken to several other jeep cherokee 2005-2006 owners who have had the same exact thing happen.
My 38k mile driver jeep door handle panel shattered and injured my hand.
My inside door handles are cracking and collapsing. The plastic is defective and does not last. I now open my driver door by rolling my window down and opening it from the outside. I went to moore chrysler jeep in peoria az and they took pictures but they came back and said they will not be fixing this because its out of there good will period. This is not ok, there are 1000's of people with the same exact problem! i believe they should fix this for free!

Stress cracks and full cracks and broken interior door handles.major safety concerns if can't open door in an emergency. 3 of the 4 handles have major crack and one is fully broken.
The interior door handles broke on all 4 doors .three out of 4 doors no longer open.i have to put down my window to open the door from the outside or i have someone open it for me from the outside.i feel this is a safety issue because i can't get out of my vehicle quickly if there is ever an emergency.
I'm active duty member and been stationed overseas since 2007, my vehicle has been in storage since, last september was taken out so my wife could drive it, a month after taken out of storage all door hands broke -off, now we are not able o open doors from the inside creating a safety issue, looking on line i realized 'm not alone with this issue, my vehicle has only 51, 000 miles and i shouldn't have issues of this caliber.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the interior door handle on the front driver's side fractured, making it very difficult to open the door. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the door panel needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance because the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 52,000.
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 and is reporting to just re-break soon afterwords, several complaints with zero real solutions, recall warranted!'
'takata recall' my door handles have completely cracked in my front seats to the point they are very loose and have to be pulled all the way out just to open the door. My backseat handles are completely off. I was parked at home when the back right came off. At the gas station when my son pulled the handles in the back left came off.
Rear passenger side door handle no longer opens the door from the inside.door handle is loosely flopping around.the door must be opened from the outside.this was first found when the stopped and my son couldn't get the door open.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that upon inspection, the driver's side door handle panel and the passenger's side rear door handle panel failed to operate normally. The contact also mentioned that the problem recurred intermittently and passengers could not exit the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the handles had to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
2006, 2007, 2008, hyundai sonatas.sunvisor fails to remain in position or plastic arm cover breaks causing the sunvisor to not stay in the upward position.this is a safety issue.while on a trip the sunvisor failed to remain upright impairing road vision.there have been three tsb bulletins regarding the sonata sunvisors.the problem persists and the internet is loaded with customer complaints regarding recent failures of the sunvisor to remain in position.

The contact stated that all the interior door handles except the front passenger side door handle were fractured. The contact stated that the sun roof would leak whenever it rained. The vehicle was taken to be inspected and was diagnosed that the roof needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that there was mold and mildew from the water leakage. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Two of the four interior door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee are broken off and unable to open the door.this is a huge safety problem, if there were an accident it would be impossible for two of the passengers to be able to exit the vehicle.they were not broken from damaging actions, they simple have just broke from everyday use.
Front drivers inside door handle came off in my hand.
Rear passenger door handle broke from door panel causing child to not be able to open door from inside. The handle is now dangling there from wire. The other doors are showing signs of spider cracks, eventually leading to breakage.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and the 4 doors panel handle area are 2 broken and 2 cracked, now its became to an a safety issue once is very difficult to open the doors with the broken parts, i have to scroll down the drives and back driver windows to open the doors from outside the car. Occurs every time have to get out the car. I spoke to the dealership and said is out warranty, i spoke to chrysler customer service rep and told me the same is out warranty and there is nothing they can do for my.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited.3 of the 4 interior door handles are broken.the 2 in the back seat are not functional.you have to roll down the window to get out of the vehicle.you will find there are many complaints about the door handles in the 2005-2006 jeep grand cherokees.this a factory defect and should be replaced by the factory.there has been no abuse to these door handles, just regular use has caused all the broken handles.
I bought this jeep brand new and it is garage kept.we are older and have no young kids riding in our car.it still looks like its brand new.my 1998 jeep which i still own has 86,000 miles on it doors are perfect.my 2005 has three interior door handles that are cracked or completely broken.the back door has to be open from the outside. This is a safety matter.it's really unfortunate the amount of complaints but no recall.will it take someone getting in a firey crash or running into a pond and not being able to get out of their car?
All of the interior door handles molding are broken and because of that, you can not open the doors from the inside using the doors handles.you have to let down the windows to open both of the back and front passenger doors in order to get out of the car. The driver side is beginning to have the same trouble with opening. The dealer price for replacement cost is about $2500.00 not including labor. I checked the internet for a solution only to discover that is a major problem with this year's model and many complaints have been filed with chrysler. All said that chrysler refused to help with the problem which is very costly for the average working person. To me it is a serious safety hazard when driving the car. What if the car catches fire, or rollover in a accident or goes in a body of water? i am hesitate to drive the vehicle because of that. All car owners expect to make repairs to their vehicle from daily use. However, it should not be the owner responsibility to pay for a repair when it is a know fact that many owners are having the same problem on the same model and year of the vehicle. Chrysler should be made to have recall to correct the problem. There should be a recall or class action law suit on this safety issue.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that i purchased new. All of the plastic around the door handles has broken apart and now both of the rear doors cannot be opened from the inside. The front doors seem that they will be next to follow and the dealer says that the entire door panel must be replaced for an estimated cost of $485 each door. I find it very unsafe for my children to be in the back seat and not being able to bet out of the vehicle unless opened from the outside. The door handles should be addressed and i have read that there are many other reports of this happening. Please help, i love my jeep.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Interior door handles crack from normal use and eventuallyfail. Safety issue cannot open door from interior.
Interior door handlethe drivers doorhas broken off behind the handle and the passenger front door is cracked. I feel its a safety issue as it seems to be a common complaint in which the doors become totally inoperable,mine have not gotten that far, but i am handicapped and that would complicate my situation even more. It appears to be very cheap plastic and the cost ofrepairing is written at $770. Plus tax.
My vehicle has 40,000 miles, immaculate condition except for the door handles and their structures around them.the drivers door is barley excitable.sometimes i have to roll the window down to get out.(how embarrassing,to be a top of the line,showroom quality; still ; vehicle).we bought it new in november 2004.have been so happy with it until 2 months ago.the passenger and rear passenger handles are cracked as well.please help me,i'm just sick about it.
Interior door handles of the jeep grand cherokee have cracked and fallen off leaving the doors unable to open from the interior.
One of the door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee has broken off and is unusable. The other three are cracking and i am fearful that they will be breaking off soon. The handles and the supporting door frames are all cracking in the same location and the handles then fall off. The manufacturer has been unwilling to even discuss the issue. The original dealer is out of business and the local dealer states it is $680 per door to fix. Parts to fix the door handles are unavailable for sale outside the dealerships. Due to the safety issue of being unable to exit the back seat area from the inside, i am fearful to allow anyone to ride in the back seat at this time. If an accident were to occur, they could be unable to exit the car from the inside. I see there are numerous complaints posted as well as a website where hundreds of people are stating the same exact issue with their 2005 jeep. There was not any outside circumstances that caused this defect. 99% of the time i am the only person in the vehicle. The dealer states it is ?normal wear and tear?. What a crock my door handle gets used 10 times a day and it has failed "yet" this is an unacceptable safety hazard. I hope you will address as a recall before someone is seriously injured because they cannot get out of the vehicle.
Interior door handle on driver side & passenger side plastic broke making the inside handle no longer usable.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and the inside door panels are a hard plastic one piece door panel.the plastic that is behind the door handles is broken and cracked and i am very much concerned about the safety of being able to exit the vehicle in an emergency or even during normal circumstances.i have been told that jeep refused to do a recall and the replacements are very expensive.my vehicle only has 61,000 miles and again this is something that is wide spread in this model with other owners and a recall should be done.
I have a 2005 grand cherokee limited with an drivers door inside handle broken which will not allow safe exit from vehicle.
From the many forums i have researched, this is not the first complaint about faulty door handles in the 2005 jeep grand cherokee. All four of mine have cracked and large chunks of the inside of the "cup" have fallen off into the door panel. One of the doors in just about inoperable because of the location of the crack and i know its only a matter of time before the rest of them follow. As a mother of 2 children, it scares me to think that they could be stuck inside of a vehicle that could have been in an accident. To me, there is no excuse for the company to not issue a recall on the parts, as they will sooner or later be looking down the line of a huge class action law suit for someone losing a passenger or their own life due to being unable to open their door. Imagine a car rolling over and catching fire. As quickly as that could go up in flames in only a matter of seconds, what counts are the moments that person is fighting with getting a door open, or in a vehicle without having to fight and saving a life or 5, as this is a 5 passenger car. I would strongly suggest that this be seriously considered and pressure be applied to the manufacturers of jeep to issue a recall for all vehicles with that type of door handle.
The handles on both rear doors have cracked making them unusable. You cannot open the door from the inside, safety issue. They are made of cheap plastic that breaks off. The only person that rides in my back seat is my 84 year old mother who has very little strength in her hands. In order to replace it you have to buy the entire door panel for 500 dollars plus labor. Please consider issuing a safety recall.
The plastic interior door panels are breaking at the door handles. When the cracks proceed far enough the interior door handles break off trapping occupants inside. All four doors are broken, the driver's door least of all. It is not a wear and tear issue but a real safety concern.
2 of my rear doors on my 2005 grand cherokee broke off, so far total of 3 of my inside door handles are broken, this is definitely a safety issue if i were to get into a car accident and nobody can get out because door handles are broken... This should be a safety recall from jeep on 2005 grand cherokee's
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that all four interior door handles cracked and were loose. As a result, the contact was not able to be open the rear doors from inside. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was confirmed all door handles needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.
My jeep grand cherokee 2005 door handle broke with less than normal use. Both front handle are broken. Even one of thebackdoor handle is broken and people rarely seat in the back. My car has only 37,900 miles.the jeep dealer wantsto charge $1000.00 per handle in puerto rico. This is not normal and in my opinion could leave to people being trap in the car in case of an accident.
Plastic panels that hold the door handles are cracking and breaking, causing the door handles not to work. After the door panels break we cannot open the doors from inside the car. At this point we have one door completely inoperable, one with plastic broken and missing, and two where the cracking has started.
Interior door handles are inoperable.cannot open door from the inside of the vehicle.handles crack and break easily.this causes operator and passengers unable to exit vehicle in a timely fashion.doors must be opened from the outside.
All interior door panels are cracked around the door handles.three out of four door handles have snapped off and the very last one is hanging on by a thread.the handles seem to be attached to the actual door panel which is comprised of hard plastic.the design of the door panel and the handle being attached is bad and a safety issue if you can't exit the vehicle if your car dies and you have no power to open the windows.additionally, if you need to force the doors open from the inside due to a wreck, car on fire, panicking etc., 9x's out of ten you don't have handles and any weight or pressure to remaining handles if any while cause them to just snap off.my car smells of gas constantly and the light comes on to tell me to check the gas cap.i eventually replaced the gas cap after checking it all of the time and now the car just smells of gas and my check engine light comes on sometimes.i've had the car checked by mechanics and the jeep dealer to no resolve.the constant gas smells give me bad headaches as well as concern when i'm driving.
The front and rear passenger side door handles have broken off the door panels. The person sitting in the back seat cannot open the door on that side. I've been told it will cost over $1000 to replace the panels. Based on all of the similar complaints i've heard and read about, i think there should be a recall on this problem.
I am at the end of my rope with this same story.my story is exactly like the other 824 complaints posted here.my indoor handles, on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee, have broken.my children and i cannot exit my vehicle without rolling down windows.heaven knows what will happen if we are ever in an emergency situation which includes the failure of my vehicle's electronic system, because we would literally be trapped inside without the use of our windows.i have complained, and complained and complained to the chrysler company.no one will help me.my quote, to repair each door, is $750.as a single mother who works very hard to pay my vehicle payments as it is, i am now faced with the burden of having to pay another $3,000 in order to keep my family safe.enough is enough.i have never sued anyone in my life, nor have i ever considered doing so, but this is the final straw.it is time for a class action lawsuit, people!i see no reason why the chrysler company can't produce a strong, failproof repair kit in order to keep their loyal customers safe.this is absolutely ridiculous.
2005 jeep grand cherokee... Appx 2-3 yrs ago, driver side door handle separated from door panel. Finally got dealer to fix under warranty.appx 3-6 mos ago, same thing happened to other 3 doors -- called chrysler customer care and told because of mileage (appx 80k) and age of vehicle... No extended warranty was forthcoming... Dealer estimates $600-$900 per door.safety issue... Doors can not be opened except from the outside. In event of accident, rear occupants would be unable to open doors and escape vehicle in timely manner.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.i have read over 500 complaints about the obvious manufacturer's defect associated with the interior door release systems contained in this vehicle.i must assume that "we" are waiting for a number of deaths before this evident flaw will be recalled. I am now down to one working door on my grand cherokee.other than that, my jeep is in great condition, for i am very particular about maintaining my vehicle properly.after hundreds of jeep grand cherokee owners have submitted official complaints, wouldn't it be safe to say that these complaint represent thousands, if not tens of thousands of incidents?let's face it... Most vehicle owners will live with this, or pay to have it repaired, but few actually submit a written complaint.i have been quoted a price of $700 per door to have these door release systems replaced.as a single mother, i don't happen to have an extra $2,800 to pay for something that should be taken care of by the manufacturer.one day... Heaven forbid... Someone (hopefully not a child) will be trapped inside a jeep grand cherokee during an emergency.only then, i assume, will a recall be issued. What a shame.this particular vehicle has been on the road for six years, and complaints are rolling in.this is horrible and extremely dangerous.please investigate!!!
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited v8 5.7l and 3 of the 4 door handles are cracked. A couple of them have been cracked for a while, but recently another one literally just cracked open by just opening the rear door with little force. There have been numerous claims on this issue at this site http://www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2010/11/jeep-grand-cherokee-interior-door-handle-broken-recall/. Clearly i am not the first person who has had this issue. My jeep is in great condition, so this isn't an abuse issue. I am concerned that the condition the rear doors are in will soon make them non-functional. The repair for this issue is a ridiculous amount.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the instrumental panel, interior, and exterior lighting failed. The failures occurred intermittently. In addition, the vehicle stalled. The contact also mentioned that the interior passenger and both rear door handles fractured and detached. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the shifting cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The contact received nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000(electrical system) exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer stated that the parts would not be available until approximately september 2015. The manufacturer was made aware of the delay. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.
2005 jeep grand cherokee - all 4 plastic door handles have broken off - plastic falling apart and into inside of door - the only way to get out is to open from the outside.very dangerous if you are unable to get out of vehicle - i have tried to gorilla glue them back together and they just keepcrumbling.
All 4 interior door opening housing breaking/failing:***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!***
All four of my door handles are cracked. I can no longer open my rear doors from the inside because the handle is completely busted. My two front handles are almost the same. If i have passengers riding in the back seat i have to open their door from the outside. I fear that if i'm ever in an accident no one will be able to exit the vehicle unless an outside person in present. This is a very serious and dangerous situation, and i feel that jeep has a responsibility to its consumers to fix such a safety issue.
The interior door handles of my 2005 jeep grand cherokee are breaking, rendering them inoperable.i have attached a video link detailing the problem. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsfrz7cibky i have contacted the dealer where i purchased the vehicle.since my vehicle is out of warranty, it will cost me $700.00 per door.i did not cause the damage.the problem stems from weak plastics.i contacted the corporate office to express my concern and inquire if a recall has been issued.the representative i spoke with stated they had not heard of this problem and there is no planned recall.this is a real problem and should be address!i have spoke with numerous owners and repair shops, they have seen this problem with the 2005 jeep grand cherokee.what if i was in a life treating situation and needed to get out of my vehicle?however i can not because my handle is broken.i don't have children, but what if they are in a similar situation and can't get out?it really concerns me that a tragedy must happen before chrysler will fix the problem.i do hope someone will investigate this and force a recall.[xxx]parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2005 jeep grand cherokee limitedinterior door handles.3 of my 4 handles have broken off.jeep charges $700.00 to replace this.it is a joke, considering i have used the backseat door handles maybe 15 times since i have had it since 2007.i have never heard or seen door handles on any vehicle completely break off out of no where.
2 interior door opening handles breaking/failing: front passenger door totally inoperable. Driver door supporting interior is breaking and back doors cracking and breaking without anyone using them, my vehicle is in impeccable condition.***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;hope you will address as a recall before someone is seriously injured because they cannot get out of the vehicle in an emergency situation.
Interior door handles are broken. This is very dangerous because you cannot get out of the car - especially in an emergency. The rear door handles have been very rarely used, and still have broken. This is definitely a mfg defect that they are avoiding. Very dangerous and unacceptable that they (jeep) are not recognizing this issue.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited with 3 of 4 door handles broken off.huge safety issue if vehicle involved in a crash or into water.no way to safely get all passengers out.we bought the vehicle used and was unaware of the issue and within weeks of buying the vehicle, the handles started to break and fall off.
Driver side interior door handle has completely broken off. The other 3 door handles have also started to crack and become loose. It starts with a crack in the plastic, the crack then turns into a hole above the metal handle. The actual metal handle itself then loosens up and completely comes off.this is a serious problem that many other 2005 jeep grand cherokee owners have had.it's not from excessive use, it's a manufacturer defect.i cannot get out of my car unless someone open the door from the outside. I would assume this is a serious safety hazard considering it traps the operator inside the vehicle.
2005 jeep grand cherokee plastic surrounding the driver side door handle cracked and fell apart. It was taken apart and glued back together. This lasted a short while and it then broke again. It is not an easy fix. The whole door panel for $600 dollars must be replaced. At times the window must be rolled down to open the door using the outside handle.in case of an electrical failure in an accident you would not be able to exit the vehicle.this is definitely a safety issue.many jeeps have had all 4 door handles break. This is poor construction. Chrysler needs to step up and recall and fix this issue and not by replacing it with more cheap plastic.
Front passenger door handle suddenly cracked/busted upon getting out of the car.later, the other three door handles cracked/busted.recently, i found it difficult to get out of the carbecause the door would not open due to the busted handle.
Good afternoon. Within the past 24 months, all 4 of my door handles (interior) have had hair line cracks that have developed into full breaks on the door handles causing safety concerns for myself and my children should we be in an emergency and be unable to get out of the car. I had purchased an extended warranty on my jeep (7 years or 70,000.00) miles and when i had taken it in to our authorized dealer, they informed me that it was not covered. I have received a quote to fix this and was informed that they need to replace the entire door panel as the handle itself is not a part in itself, which will cost over $2000.00 for parts and labor. My vehicle is in excellent shape except for this.
Interior door handles on front passenger and rear driver side have both failed. The handle pivots on brittle plastic and it cracks unless you're extremely gentle. Definitely a manufacturer defect.
My door handles on my truck would not let me get out . I had to put the window down to get out of my truck . I hear alot of people with the model jeep i have also encountered this problem .
The cups around the door handles on the interior panel of the door began cracking and over time eventually failed and crumbled completely rendering the door handle useless.obviously this a huge safety hazard as occupants can not exit the vehicle should there be an emergency.through research this seems to be a far too common occurrence for this model vehicle.
There is a potentially serious safety issue concerning the interior door handles of the 2005 jeep grand cherokee.apparently the plastic holding these door handles has a tendency to crack and break, causing the door handles to be inoperable from the inside of the vehicle.the door handle is only supported by the molded plastic of the entire plastic door panel, and not the metal frame of the door itself.there has been no blow or abnormal use to cause this problem, just the normal opening of the doors with the inside door handle.this condition has affected all 4 of our doors, with the handle itself completely missing (falling down inside the door) on the left rear passenger door.at this point, the handle on the right rear passenger door is not missing, but it is inoperable (nothing for the handle to pull against because it is cracked on the inside), and both front doors have cracks but are operational at this point.it is obvious that chrysler-jeep needs to resolve the problem before someone dies in a fire or accident, having gotten trapped inside the vehicle.we bought this vehicle new from the dealer, but the dealer has indicated there is no recall and it will cost ~$600 each to replace the entire door panels to fix the current problem.he also indicated that even with the new door panels, the problem may happen again.this is not acceptable!!!must someone die to bring this serious problem to light.
All 4 interior door handles on the vehicle have broken off.which doesn't allow egress of the vehicle unless a window is lowered and door is opened from the outside.in the event of a vehicle crash, fire, flood, power failure, etc... The occupants would not be able to exit the vehicle.
Both rear door handles and everything around them from the interior has broken off. We cannot open the rear doors from the inside. If you are in the back you couldn't get out in an accident and/or fire. I sees allot of complaints on this online.used like normal, no abuse.
The child safety lock on the drivers side rear door keeps moving to unlocked, making this a safety issue because a child could open the door from the inside while the car is in motion.
Three of my door handles have broken off and are not functional from the inside of the vehicle. The only handle that is in tact is the drivers.
The door handles on two doors have failed and broken off.this is a safety issue as door can only be opened from the outside and so far i have been quoted $1100 to replace and repair these handles as the entire inside door component must be replaced.
All four (4) of the door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee are cracking and i am fearful that they will be breaking off soon. The handles and the supporting door handle housing are all cracking in the same location. I contacted chrysler(case #[xxx]) and jeep (case #[xxx]) and have been unable to receive any repair assistance even though this is a manufacturer defect.since the defect is in the housing unit of the interior door panel, the cost to replace the housing is prohibitive to most owners since the entire door panel must be replaced.the dealer states it is ~$800 per door to fix. Due to the safety issue of being unable to exit the back seat area from the inside without difficulty, i am fearful of allowing my 14yr daughter, grandkids, or anyone else of riding in the back seat. If an accident were to occur, they would be unable to safely exit the car from the inside. The damage to the door handles and/or frames are not due to normal "wear and tear" or any outside circumstance.although i am just now reporting this, i did not initially recognize it as a defect when the problem first occurred with the first door (rear driver's side) in 2009.this is a safety hazard caused by defective manufacturing.i am reporting this hoping that a recall will be made by chrysler before someone is seriously injured and/or killed.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Interior door handles broken due to cheap plastic. In case of an emergency is a safety risk. Dealer won't sell door handles but instead a entire panel for over 500 dollars and i have all 4 broken.
The plastic on the interior door handles has cracked around the door handle.the driver side front interior door handle and the driver side rear interior door handle are inoperable because they are no longer attached to the door.
I am the owner of a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and all but one of the door handles on the inside panel have fallen out and it is just a matter of time before the other one does because it is already cracking.this is a real safety issue as if anything happens the doors cannot be opened from the inside.i have read that this is real common because of the material used to make these doors and has happened to a whole lot of people.the dealerships want like $700 a door to replace.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that all the door handles were cracked and the handles moved around inside of the panel. The contact stated that this was a recurring failure. The vehicle was driven to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated that the parts were cracked on the passenger side. The passenger side door handles were replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the interior door handles fractured on all four doors. The doors could only open from outside of the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The dealer stated that the interior door handles and panels needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 60,000.
I currently own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and approximately september of last year i observed the front passenger interior door housing to be cracked and loose.i was bewildered how this happened.in april of this year my seven year old daughter was in the rear seat behind the driver seat.i stopped the vehicle and exited.i was waiting for my daughter to come out and she began to bang on the glass in a panic.i opened the door from the outside and she was crying and told me she couldn't get out that the interior handle was broken.i looked at the handle and discovered the housing to be completely broken apart like the front passenger one, but the rear handle was just dangling and is inoperable.it was at this time i began to research this issue to see if it is a problem with other jeep owners.sure enough it is a problem with hundreds of jeep owners, and my research should that there are 65 complaints filed under latches/locks/linkages; 29 complaints under structure: body: door; and 10 complaints under latches /locks/linkages:door:latch, not counting other site complaints when you conduct a google search.i went to a local jeep dealer who informed me that my warranty is up and they do not have any knowledge of any recalls.i am concerned as if two handles are broke, it is a matter of time the other two will also break.i also find this to be a serious!!!, safety issue as if there is an emergency, how will a child exit my rear seat if they are sitting behind the driver and if the handle breaks on the otherside there is no getting out from within the vehicle. This of course can result in the death of a passenger.i hope your agency can assist me with this problem in getting these handles replaced before the unthinkable happens.thank you in advance.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and my door handles are breaking off on the inside. I do not have children so they are not abused in any way. The material is a cheap plastic and the handles are barely hanging on both front driver and passenger doors. This is a safety hazard that needs to be addressed. I have also seen several other complaints on youtube from other jeep owners with same situation. I also work for aaa roadside and have seen several instances where they have to be towed for electrical fires. This makes me very nervous and this matter needs to be addressed. There are also videos on youtube with jeep fires as well to back it up. Any kind of recall would be greatly appreciated as these two scenarios are a serious and life threatning combination. Thanks
All four doors, the door unlock/open handles are made of plastic and are disintegrating and falling apart.this makes it impossible to open the door from the inside of vehicle.handle is made from cheap brittle plastic and all are falling apart, even those on doors that are not used frequently.jeep has said the entire door panel has to be replaced at a cost of over $800.00 per door panel x 4 doors = $3200.00!!!this is an important safety issue since the lever mechanism is plastic made into the door panel.jeep needs to have a factor recall to replace these defective door unlock/open handles.
All of the inside door handles are breaking off around the pull lever.it started with one of the back doors and now has spread to both back doors and the front passenger door.the plastic around the drivers door has begun to crack and will not be long before it fails as well.the door handle assembly is molded into the entire panel and the repair requires replacement of the entire door panel.getting out of this car requires some skill.you have to pull straight out on the wire (that used to be connected to the pull lever)if the wire drops into the panel you can only exit the jeep by someone opening it from the outside.this is a problem.i did a search on the net and i found countless post of the exact same failure.jeep is saying the same thing to anyone who contacts them.that it is abuse that has caused the issue and replacement is not covered under warranty and the cost is $700 per door.
Three of the door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee have broken off and are unusable. The other two are cracking and i am fearful that they will be breaking off soon. The handles and the supporting door frames are all cracking in the same location and the handles then fall off. The manufacturer has been unwilling to even discuss the issue. The dealer states it is $700 -$900 per door to fix. Parts to fix the door handles are unavailable for sale outside the dealerships. Due to the safety issue of being unable to exit the back seat area from the inside, i am unable to allow anyone to ride in the back seats at this time. If an accident were to occur, they would be unable to exit the car from the inside. There are numerous complaints posted as well as a website where hundreds of people are stating the same exact issue with their 2005 jeep. There was not any outside circumstances that caused this defect. The dealer states it is normal wear and tear. This is an unacceptable safety hazard. I hope you will address as a recall before someone is seriously injured because they cannot get out of the vehicle.here is a link to a website with tons of complains on this issuehttp://www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2010/11/jeep-grand-cherokee-interior-door-handle-broken-recall/#comment-11230
I own a 2005 grand cherokee limited, at this time both front doors handles are broken, the rear handles start to breaking apart too. I have to open the doors front the outside witch is unsafe and dangerous in case of an accident. First one broke at 67000 miles, and the second at 71000 miles . Please help.
2005 jeep grand cherokee.all 4 interior plastic door handle mountings have cracked. The two rear handles have fallen off completely. Chrysler says they arenot responsible.it is a safety hazard.
All 4 of my interior door mechanisms are broken.i'm able to still open my front passenger and driver doors, but the rear driver and passenger doors have to be opened from the outside of the vehicle.i have filed 2 claims with my insurance company to attempt to get them replaced (safety hazard), but was declined.i've also contacted the chrysler corporation and was told that since my vehicle was out of warranty that they couldn't do anything about it.i would think that since there have been so many complaints on the door mechanisms being so fragile, that they would recall them and replace them.the rear doors where the first ones to break, then the front passenger and as of 4/02/13 the front driver side broke.i've always had a jeep of some kind and this has never happened to me and if the corporation doesn't step up and correct this matter, i will have no choice but to never purchase a jeep product again.
The left rear door handle has broken off. I open the door to place an item in the back seat and noticed the door handle laying inside the door. The handle itself is in tack but the plastic surrounding where the handle attaches with the door was broken. There was not trauma, heavy or extensive use placed on the door (inside or out). When researching possible solutions to my problem, i became overwhelmed by how many other owners were dealing with the same problem. I called a couple of dealers and was floored by the cost to fix the situation and attempting to used a door from the junk yard is not a solution due to the problem appearing to be universal to this vehicle. My concern is that i now have a vehicle where one door can only be opened from the outside creating a safety issue. On an upside, i am thankful after reading other peoples situations that i only have one door affected, but now i am on edge and cautious that my other doors will soon follow suit.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the interior rear and driver side door handles fractured and separated from the door panels. The rear doors had to be opened with the exterior door handles. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,000.updated 8/10/15
We have purchased a used 2005 jeep with 2 broken door handles. Searching the internet shows that this is a common problem with these jeeps. This is truly a safety hazard seeing as no one could escape this vehicle should there be an accident. Since this is a problem many seem to have, i feel jeep needs to step up and repair this very serious issue!
2005 jeep grand cherokeeinterior door handle trim completely shatters for no apparent reason.door handles are inoperative from inside the vehicle.every door handle has this same issue.chrysler-jeep officially denies any culpability, but will give a discount off of the $2,500 repair bill, so consumers must pay $1,000 for the manufacturing defect.even extended warranties will not cover the issue.i hope to god no one ever desperately needs to get out of one of these death traps in an emergency.
The jeep grandcherokee 2005 and uphas inside door panels made of plastic ,and the door handles which allow opening the vehicle doors for the inside are attached to this weak plastic panel. Over time the door handle plastic attachment points began to crack and break away , eventually causing theopening handle to fall off,and the door is then not able to be opened from inside. In the event of a crash or firein the vehicle while this condition exists , the occupants at those doors would be unable to escape the vehicle thru the doors with this problem. Chrysler service states that there are not enough complaints regarding this for them to assist me in any way, to repair thisall the inside door panels must be replaced.chrysler customer service # 1-800-992-1997.
I purchased a used 2005 jeep grand cherokee. A few days after i bought it i was cleaning the inside and opened the back passenger door. Upon doing so i noticed the handle is broken. It is still operable but i don't know how long it will last. I looked online and see that apparently everyone that has this model has the same problem, some people with all 4 handles useless and unable to open any door from the inside. I have a 3 yr old son that sits in the seat where the handle is breaking. If there was an accident or emergency i want the door to be able to open. If the handle breaks, because of a manufacturer defect, and he cuts his hand on the jagged plastic i think that could cause a lawsuit. If i have an adult in the back seat and there is an emergency the person may not be able to exit. This is not safe or acceptable.
The contact owns 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the contact stated that all four interior door handles have cracked and the doors could not be opened from the inside. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that all panel assemblies needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While parked the contact noticed the plastic that holds the door handle within the interior was deteriorating on both the front driver and passenger side doors. The contact stated the door could not be opened from inside the vehicle.the doors needed to be open from the outside in order to exit the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing but he was informed that the entire door panel needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited automobiles have cracking and crumbling plastic surrounding the door handles.in case of fire or crash, you would not be able to open the door to get out of a deadly situation, due to cracking and crumbling plastic that was used in the door panels and hold the door handle.in many cases 2 inch large holes are next to the door handles due to plastic failure, and in some cases the entire door handle is no longer connected to plastic and is inoperable.this appears to be the result of a bad mix of plastic compounds, and/or improper pressures/temperatues in injection molding, during the original door panel manufacturing. Chrysler has supplier recovery options to pay for this repair/replacement, but will not allow it unless excessive pressure is put upon them, instead pushing consumers to pay for the $2200.00 repair on their own.
All the door handles on this vehicle are cracked and broken and two of them no longer operate from the inside!
My interior driver door handle started cracking, then eventually broke and is useless. At first i thought it might have been something i did until the back passenger on the driver door did the same thing. I rarely have passengers in the back so i know its not just wear; instead, just crappy quality. When you're a die-hard jeep person you don't want to admit (especially to yourself) they would've used poor quality. Unfortunately, after reading about everybody else that this has happened to, its obvious it is infact just poor quality.
All four interior door handles are broken to varying degrees. This has been happening over several years. The door handle that is most intact is the driver's handle.ironically this car is typically only used by one person who uses that door handle. The car has approximately 75,000 miles. It has become a serious concern for our family. My husband will not take passengers for fear that if there would be an emergency or accident his passengers would be unable to exit the car. I have had multiple cars over the years and have never had one door handle break much less all four. Jeep has made me believe that this is an unusual occurrence when i contacted them. Online searches make me believe otherwise.
All four inner door handles have broken and fallen out. None are operable. We have to let down the glass to exit.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee unlimited. The contact stated that the interior door handle plastic support device had broken on all four doors. The dealer was notified and stated that the entire door panel needed to be replaced for$2,610. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
Interior door handles are defective. The plastic surrounding the interior door handles has become brittle and broken allowing pieces to fall inside the door. This breakage has rendered the door handles inoperative and prevents the door from being opened from the inside. In the event of an accident the occupants of the vehicle would be trapped inside, especially if the power windows also became inoperative.
The interior door handles all break and crack.the handles are cheap plastic and fail after time.this is a safety hazard and chrysler should be responsible for replacing these.they do not even have the parts on hand.i have contacted local dealerships and there is a waiting list for over 400+ people a month ago who knows how long now.
I have an 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited and all 4 interior door handles started with hairline cracks that have advanced into major cracks and pieces of the plastic missing where the interior door handle is located. Recently, 2 days ago- the back passenger handle completely came off and now is inoperable. There is no way to exit the vehicle from the inside of that affected door. I am certain that all my door handles will eventually follow suit and i will have no operable doors in the vehicle. This is a safety issue and should be addressed as such. This is not cosmetic. All 4 interior door handle panels need to be replaced. The door handles are not secure and will continue to crumble until they are not usable anymore. Since this is a known issue- when is jeep going to start replacing their broken manufactured parts?
2005 jeep grand cherokee interior door handles inoperable from the inside of the vehicle. The 2 back door handles have fallen off. We took this up with chrysler and was told this is not under warranty.this is a quality/design flaw and a huge safety issue. Chrysler needs to recognize this and re-call and fix this issue. We then took our jeep into a dealer to get it fixed and paid $736 for one door panel. The only panel that could be fixed since the rest are on back order??? we are left with 2 doors that don't operate and one cracked door handle that eventually will fall off too.please help address this concern with the 2005 jeep grand cherokee. Thank you
The inside door handles do not function due to bad plastic that holds them in place and this will not allow me or my passengers to exit the vehicle incase of a fire or accident. It started out as a small crack and now they all are breaking off.
On the drivers doorand the right passenger door, the plastic of the panel supporting the interior door handle has broken leaving the handle unmounted and useless. Obviously, this is a safety hazard as it takes more time to egress the vehicle in an accident.
Rear passenger side door handle is broken. No idea how or when it happened. On june 4, 2013, my son tried to open the door from the inside and it wouldn't open. I figured he just had a hard time and i let him out from the outside. 3 days later, i opened the door from the outside to let my son in and immediately noticed that some of the plastic molding around the interior door handle was broken off and missing and the door handle was hanging limp. I am certain that there was no missing plastic 3 days prior when the door wouldn't open from the inside, but i don't know how or when the plastic broke off. I'm guessing it's down inside the door panel. Frustrating since those rear door handles are rarely used. I almost always open the rear doors from the outside because my kids are small and still ride strapped into car seats, so they're not able to get out themselves. Having read other complaints, this must be some sort of defect. There's no reason a door handle that is rarely used should have broken off, and it's especially strange that it seems to have just broken apart when no one was touching it.
Interior door handles are broken off, front door cracked and driver door missing part.
Rear door handle plastic around base began cracking & currently driver door hand is about to fall off. This is dangerous! this plastic surrounding the door handles beganwith small cracks then huge chunks fell out . This could cost a lifeof my grandchildren or even myself as driver. Nevermind anyone owning one. This safety hazardshould be an immediate safety recall! i am astounded at the numbersof jeep owners reporting same or similar incidents.i hope to hear it has been issued.
2005 jeep grand cherokee interior door handles are defective.passenger side door handle has completely broken due to the cheap plastic and the driver side door handle has almost failed as well.i am afraid that in an emergency, i and my passengers might not be able to exit the vehicle.i've been reading online and this appears to be a very common issue, but chrysler refuses to fix the doors.they want $700 plus to fix each door handle, but you can't even get one because they are on back order.
Interior door handle broke off - known problem but chrysler not addressing - evac safety concern!!
The inside door handles in the front seat, both have become hard and brittle and have crumbled.if the driver's handle deteriorates any more the door handle will no longer work and you could be trapped in the car in the event of an accident.i've researched this on the internet and found that this is a common problem.the passenger side has a huge chunk of plastic that has broken off and this inside door handle is rarely used.
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.
When i went to get out of my jeep this morning i opened the door as i normally do. I then heard a crack and noticed the driver's side door handle pulled completely out of the door. The brittle cheap plastic piece that holds the handle in the door just designated. The unfortunate part is that i cannot open my door now therefore if i am in an accident and the car is on fire i will not be able to exit the care which is very scary for me. I hope chrysler recalls this issue. You would think a $50000 car would last.
Interior door handles have broken. Rear passengers cannot exit vehicle. Soon the driver side door will completely fail.
The interiordoor handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee are all broken.two of them are inoperable.the cheap material used by the manufacturer should be recalled as it cracks very easily. Once the inside handle is broken the door can not be opened from the inside. This is a safety concern in case of a fire or accident.the dealer says the whole door panel would have to be replaced and not just the handle, as they are attached together.the cost of each panel is approximately $700 each.
3 of 4the interior door knobs have broken off on this vehicle. What if i had passengers and was involved in a wreck? no one would be able to get out! i am not the only one experiencing this problem... It is all over the internet. Does someone have to be killed before the company is prompted to fix this problem? a manufactures defect should be covered/fixed by the manufacturer... Http://www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2010/11/jeep-grand-cherokee-interior-door-handle-broken-recall/.
Cracks in interior door plastic leaving door handles difficult to manage. Same problem as so many others have reported. Called jeep directly and no solution offered. Dealership is not willing to fix the broken part under warranty.
Interior door handles breakall 4 door handles had cracks in the plastic backing when i got the vehicle in 2012.first, the rear driver door handle broke and the mechanic wanted $850 to fix it since the plastic backsplash is part of the whole door panel. Without the plastic backsplash, the handle does not work.so, i have to open that door from the outside for my kids.now the front passenger door handle has a hole and is almost to the point of breaking.i want to get rid of this car as i cannot afford $3300 to fix the handles.this is a safety hazard as doors must open from the inside.
3 out of 4 inside door handles broken due to cheap plastic used. Unable to get out of jeep from the inside. If there was an accident, you could be trapped inside. Could cause death or injury. Dealership charging over $2000 out of pocket to fix when it was caused by faulty, brittle plastic. Unsafe to drive with my kids in the back seat.
The interior door handles are broken and i have to open the door with a strap.i consider this to be a safety hazard.
Interior door handles on front passenger and rear driver side have both failed. The handle pivots on brittle plastic and it cracks.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that all four door handles fractured and separated from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was determined that the handles needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 44,000.
All of the interior door handles molding are broken and because of that, you can not open the doors from the inside using the doors handles.you have to let down the windows to open both of the back and front passenger doors in order to get out of the car. The driver side is beginning to have the same trouble with opening. The dealer price for replacement cost is $2500.00 not including labor. I checked the internet for a solution only to discover that is a major problem with this year's model and many complaints have been filed with chrysler. All said that chrysler refused to help with the problem which is very costly for the average working person. To me it is a serious safety hazard when driving the car. What if the car catches fire, or rollover in a accident or goes in a body of water? i am hesitate to drive the vehicle because of that. All car owners expect to make repairs to their vehicle from daily use. However, it should not be the owner responsibility to pay for a repair when it is a know fact that many owners are having the same problem on the same model and year of the vehicle. Chrysler should be made to have recall to correct the problem.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee has broken door handles.the dealer wants $750 in order to fix the part.it is a safety concern for my children in the back seat who will not be able to get out of the car if there was an accident.this just occurred in the last month.i will fix the piece on my own dime but it seems kind of outrageous for a door handle.if not for my kids i would skip it and just suffer with the broken door handle.
All 4 interior door handles broken or cracked and about to break off completely. Major safety hazard - unable to open/operate doors from the inside in case of accident or emergency. Obvious manufacturer defect using very inferior design/materials. Recall requested as hundreds of jeep owners are reporting the exact same issue.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited - car is in good condition except for 3 of the 4 doors have handles casings that are cracked and the door handle is hanging off.the car is well maintained and garage kept. This started happening in the last year and has spread rapidly.all 3 doors have done it the same place and it has started with a crack and then grown into the pieces falling off and leaving the inner workings of the door fully exposed.this a grave safety issue and a recall needs to be issued.
The front passenger and both rear interior door handles have broken off. There is no way to exit the vehicle in case of an emergency! i have found on the internet that this is a common occurrence but i haven't found out what the company is offering for a fix. This is an obvious manufacturers defect considering that all three of them broke within days of one another.
Two of the door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee have broken off and are unusable.the other two are cracking and i am fearful they will be breaking off soon.the handles and the supporting door frames are all cracking in the same location and the handles then fall off.the manufacturehas been unwilling to even discuss the issue.the dealer states it is $700 per door to fix.parts to fix the door handles are unavailable for sale outside the dealerships.due to the safety issue of being unable to exit the back seat area from the inside, i am unable to allow anyone to ride in the back seats at this time.if an accident were to occur, they would be unable to exit the car from the inside.there are numerous complaints posted as well as a website where hundreds of people are stating the same exact issue with their 2005 jeep.there was not any outside circumstance that caused this defect.the dealer states it is "normal wear and tear".this is an unacceptable safety hazard.i hope you will address as a recall before someone is seriously injured because they cannot get out of the vehicle.
Latches/locks/linkages - the pop down did not show this category so i used otherthe door latches willnot work due to failing inner plastic housing.all four doors are in some condition of cracking and failure.one latch will not work at all, thus the door cannot be opened from the inside of vehicle.it is a serious safety issue.there are many complaints on this issue that have been filed.chrysler should immediately recall the vehicles and properly repair them.
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!
Just found this site: same story2005 jeep grand cherokee with a 4.7 liter v8. Both rear door panels ' door handle areas are cracked and broken with pieces missing and the front door panel door handles are showing signs of cracking. Recall is needed for this obvious manufacturing defect.
Jeep grand cherokee interior door panel broke & door will not open from inside the vehicle causing a safety hazard.this is the 2nd door handle that has broken in the vehicle.in searching to fix the back door, i found an article showing that chrysler was aware of a resin problem with this vehicle.i can find a safety recall for the locks.
2005 jeep grand cherokee. Letter forwarded from ftc-from congresswoman ginny brown-waite on behalf of constituent re problems with chrysler corporation.*njthe casings behind the inside door latch began to gradually deteriorate until all four door casings cracked which resulted in difficulty exiting the vehicle.the consumer stated it was apparent the materials used for the casings were defective. A case in point was the two back door casings which disintegrated in spite of the fact that those doors were seldom used.
2005 jeep grand cherokee, 42275 miles, the door panels on the rear doors are broken at the door handles and the doors cannot be opened from the inside. Additionally, both front door panels are cracked at the door handles and more than likely will break soon. Have inquired with local body shop and new door panels are approximately $450 each and are of the same design.
I have 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the problem is that 3 of the 4 inside door handles are broken.the plastic that holds the handle in place is very thin cheep plastic that cracks and breaks there are holes is some of them and on the driver door the latch is completely broken.this can very easily become a life threating issue if there was a fire and some one could not get out of the car.if you look on line you can find that is a very common problem with the 05 models.this is a youtube link that will show you a in detail the problem that i am talking about(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsfrz7cibky&feature=related) if you need to contact me to verify anything or have any questions.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
All 2 handle's are broken and 2 are cracked this is a dangerous to get out of the car if their is a accident. I called the dealer and he said the cost is on me i do not have that kind of money. And i am not along i see at youtube when i was looking how to fix the door, but when i seen this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsfrz7cibky i said, what!i need your help!
I opened the door to get out and the interior driver's side handle broke off of the door panel.i went to the dealer and the handle is part of the door panel.the handle's hinge is set in plastic which happens to be in the same one piece door panel.the door panel has to be replaced ($795 for the part and $259 for the installation).on line i noticed that there were many complaints with this problem.it is possible to get locked in the car.
Right rear interior door handle plastic was broken while getting out of the vehicle. Plastic is extremly brittle. Right front interior door handle broke the same way about a week later the door handle was not jerked or abused in any way. They both looked to be in perfect condition before they broke.
2005 jeep grand cherokee- inside door handle/panels. In 5yrs the door handles are already cracking and falling into pieces. The plastic used surrounding the actual handle is cheap. Unreal to think now that this was ok'd. Eventually there is no more handles, resulting with people stuck inside the vehicle. What's next...the motor for the windows goes out and then your really stuck or dead now??? i mean come on. Chrysler make some new panels...fix your problem!
The interior door handles on the 2005 jeep grand cherokee wk has all broken.most of the handles in my vehicle are still in working order, but one in particular is broken and someone sitting on that side cannot get out of the vehicle from the inside.if there is an accident they could be stuck inside the vehicle.these handles are poorly designed, and the others will likely break entirely if not used gingerly.
On approximately december 8, 2010 the plastic around the inside left rear door handle cracked while my daughter was opening the door from the inside.after that the handle was loose and i frequently had to open the door from the outside to let her out of the jeep.around july of 2011 my father tried to open the door from the inside and more of the plastic surrounding the handle broke off and the handle fell down inside the door panel.now the door cannot be opened at all from the inside.this is a major safety issue.the door handle was never handled in a rough manner and should never have failed like this.
Driver's side rear inside door handle broke, making it impossible to open door from the inside (major safety issue).upon inspection, i found that the plastic surrounding the handles on both passenger-side doors are also cracked in the same spot, they will soon fail.called dealership (farrish, in fairfax va), they said jeep wouldn't do anything for me as out of warranty, and entire door panels would need to be replaced at $780 each (note:not the dealership's fault).given the number of complaints on this and other websites, it is clear jeep is aware of this issue and has decided to to address it, despite the obvious safety implications.furthermore, they have refused to offer the handle as a separate part - replacing a door panel with another one with a similarly defective part is not economically feasible, and doesn't seem like a real solution as the new part is just as likely to fail as the old one.a recall should be implemented.the problem is so widespread that there is now an aftermarket solution (door handle replacement kits) designed specifically to address this problem, but you can't get them installed by the dealership.
All interior door handles have cracked and become loose. One passenger side rear door handle completely fell off. Dealer said $2,000 to fix all doors, handles have not been repaired. Cannot exit car without rolling down the windows and opening doors from the outside.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited's interior door handles have broken from their door panels.
First, the interior door handles are a hazard.all four are cracked and one broke off as my grand child open the back seat door to get out. The front passenger door interior door handle is breaking off at any time, the others are cracked. I am afraid that in an accident some of us might not make it out. They are too expensive to replace. I tried to trade in the jeep but no luck!i know there are more jeeps out there with the same problem. I hope there have been no accidents with deaths, yet !help !!!the second, is the catalyst converter needs to be replaced again after a year, how many times has it been replaced before? i cant get that info.
After christmas after taking my stepson's cousin home, i noticed that the door handles on the back doors were hanging, with the surrounding plastic busted. I thought it happened when the doors were opened, and that they were opened too hard. Took to a dealer (chevy dealer, that i bought vehicle from) and was told that it would be better to replace entire door panels, instead of just the door handles.
Door handles falling off due to a suppliers defective plastic resin mix. In case of a fire or crash a passenger or driver might not be able to get out of the vehicle and die from this defect. This is a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited.
2005 jeep grand cherokee.the interior door handles (2) have broken and caved into the door panel.the doors must be opened from the outside.if someone was somehow trapped inside the vehicle, this would create an additional safety concern.the dealership wants to charge $700.00 to fix each door.i have spoken to several jeep grand cherokee owners and this seems to be a very common problem.
Indoor housing for door handles broken on all 4 doors....i replaced drivers side handle 2 years ago, now it is broken along with others....so 3200 to replace all 4 doors panels...internet and this site full of similar complaints, defective material or design....i have always had jeeps and still buy jeep, but this was a problem that they didn't take care of like they should have...unsafe to not be able to open door from inside.
Both rear door handles on my grand cherokee are broken. First the left side broke in march 2012, then the right side broke a few months afterwards. All rear seated passengers inside the vehicle are unable to open the doors. The front seated passengers have to exit the vehicle and open it from the outside. This is a safety issue. The door handle issue is very common with this vehicle make and model.
The jeep grand cherokee interior door panels are defective . The handles are all plastic and they all break off from the door panel. This is a very unsafe problem that could cost a life if the person reaches for the handle to get out of the car and cannot. They need to make this a recall and issue parts to replace this for free for owners of the jeeps.
Over the past 2 years all 4 of my interior door handles are broken on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee.i only have passengers in my vehicle one day a week at the most.this is not a warranty issue, but a supplier's defective plastic resin mix.the entire door panel must be replaced not just the handle.
The plastic wells behind all four interior door handles have broken, leaving a gaping hole ringed by sharp spikes of plastic shards. This occurred prior to my purchasing the vehicle on the date indicated as the date of the incident. This is a widely reported issue. The next stage of the failure is that the interior door handles will eventually break out of the door and come off into the door operator's hand, requiring the door to be opened from the outside. Once this occurs, the failure will become a significant safety risk as passengers will be unable to open the door from the inside, effectively trapping them inside in the event of a severe accident or fire. Jeep has fielded thousands of complaints about this particular failure and numerous videos made by unhappy consumers have been posted to youtube and other similar sites. Jeep currently charges $500-$700 to replace the entire door panels while a niche market has been created by individuals selling injection molded replacement parts that jeep does not sell. This is an unacceptable solution and jeep needs to issue a recall. It becomes a minor safety issue the moment our fingers come into close proximity of the sharp plastic shards surrounding the opening, and it becomes a major safety issue the moment we and our passengers are no longer able to open a door from inside the vehicle. Please make this happen.
Re: 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited - interior door panels (where door handle is attached) are cracking and falling away resulting in the door handles no longer being attached to the door. This requires, at times, the door to be opened from outside the vehicle. Chrysler will not replace as the vehicle is out of warranty. The dealership wants $700 + labor (per door) to repair something that is obviously a manufacturing/material defect and safety hazard.
Driver side door handle fell apart when opening door. Two years earlier, rear passenger door did same. Front passenger door also cracking. Real safety hazard. Can not exit vehicle with window rolled up.
Good afternoon. Within the past 24 months, all 4 of my door handles (interior) have had hair line cracks that have developed into full breaks on the door handles causing safety concerns for myself and my children should we be in an emergency and be unable to get out of the car. I had purchased an extended warranty on my jeep (7 years or 70,000.00) miles and when i had taken it in to our authorized dealer, they informed me that it was not covered. I have received a quote to fix this and was informed that they need to replace the entire door panel as the handle itself is not a part in itself, which will cost over $2000.00 for parts and labor. My vehicle is in excellent shape except for this.
Interior door handles are made with material that do not support the normal wear and tear.clearly a safety hazard to be riding a vehicule, whether as the driver or passenger, and if an emergency calls for you to abandon it, as you pull the handle to open your door the handle brakes in your hand and cannot open the door.in the event of an emergency, we are talking, not about minutes, but seconds to react and move away from danger. Failure to open, could represent the difference between minutes and seconds that could prevent major injury if not death in case of an accident.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited (5.7l): interior plastic holding door handles has been cracked for quite some time and now they are broken. I am the sole owner of the vehicle (i'm single, no kids) and my rear door handles have rarely ever been used, yet they are completely broken now. Apparently this is a very common trend among these 2005-2008 jeep models and this is a serious safety issue as rear passengers are unable to exit the vehicle from the inside. The steps to repair a simple door handle and crack requires the entire panel to be replaced, at $400+ each. These dealer replacement parts are on national back-order due to the extreme amount of cases with this.
I have a grand cherokee 2005, i purchase used less then 5 months ago. The passenger door open handle frame started to brake up to a point that broke the frame. Went to the dealer where i purchase the told me that i need to replace the entire door panel which cost me over 600 dollars. The vehicle has less then 60 thousand miles ... But since pass the 6 years it is not cover under the warranty. I am afraid to buy another door panel pay 600 dollars and break again. I would like to jeep to step up andhelp customers that like jeep cars and have problems like this ... After looking online i notice that i am not the only one. Please help!
Inside door handle plastic is broken in one door and cracked in two others. Once this plastic breaks the inside door handles fall out rendering the door inoperable from the inside. In an accident there is no way to get out through the door unless you break a window and reach the outside handle. From the research i have done online it appears that this is a common issue with these vehicles. Jeep does not sell this assembly separately. It is only available by purchasing an entire door panel at a cost of five hundred per rear door handle and six hundred plus per front and this does not include installation.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that three of the four interior door handles fractured. The doors could not be opened from inside the vehicle. The contact also indicated that the fourth inside door handle was cracked. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 158,000.
The interior door handles both front and back are cracking and breaking off in my jeep grand cherokee limited 2005.no longer is it possible to open the front passenger side door from the inside.the back passenger side door is the same.both the front and back driver side handles are cracking with pieces of plastic broken off.they are eventually going to break off as well.this is not occurring to abuse of opening the doors.i have probably had the back doors opened from the inside a total of 30 times for the three years i have owned the vehicle.do not have children that ride in the back (have none), and do not transport people places from the backseat of my car very often.i have searched on line and this is a issue for thousands of other 2005 jeep cherokee owners.it is a hazard and danger if someone is unable to get out of my jeep in a emergency.
The interior door handles on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited are all breaking.the plastic behind the door handles inside of the vehicle are made of cheap plastic.the plastic breaks and makes the door handles not work properly.
All four door handles are coming apart and one is completely broke. If there is an emergency, noone will be able to get out if the windows have been damaged. There are hundreds of cherokee and commander owners facing this same situation. This is a severe and life-threatening safety issue and chrysler jeep refuses to take responsibility for using cheap material that literally disintegrates on its own. Their price for fixing this defect is $700-$900 per door and they absolutely refuse to cover any portion of it. If a company freely decides to use inferior materials just to make more profit, this creates safety issues, especially children and infants, then they must be held accountable and responsible for its repairs at no cost to the owner.
3 out of 4 door handles have developed cracks on the plastic door panel in my 2005 jeep grand cherokee.one of the doors is no longer operational without rolling down the window and pulling the outside door handle.this is clearly a design defect from faulty plastic attachments.if there was an accident the passenger may not be able to quickly exit the vehicle, especially if the electric windows no longer functioned.chrysler needs to fix this.
I am wondering how there hasn't been a recall on the grand cherokee interior door handles.my car has only 67000 miles and all four door handles are cracked.the back two are being replaced because they no longer work.this poses a serious problem in the event of a crash since rear occupants would be trapped in the vehicle.performing a search online and this is definitely a widespread issue for the grand cherokee.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited edition interior door handles breaking off. 3 of the 4 door handles are unable to open the doors in case of an emergency.due to the number of the same complaints about this safety issue, jeep obviously has a manufacturing defect that needs a recall issued.
I have two 2005 jeep grand cherokees. All the inside door handles are cracking and some are completely destroyed to the point you can not open the door from the inside. Which in the event of an accident, no one would be able to exit the vehicle. It's obviously a problem with the plastic being too thin/brittle. It's all over the internet and there are even youtube videos.
All 4 interior door handles are broken in the event of an accident or fire i fear i won't be able to exit the vehicle i must roll the window down and use the exterior door handle to open the doors major safety problem.
I replaced the drive door handle after it cracked in 2009.now the rear passenger door handle broke off.it is now a safety violation as my daughter is unable to exit out the door due to a broken handle.again the passenger door is cracked at the handle.the count is now three of the four doors requiring replacement.i take great care of my car and this is a clear safety violation as the doors were made with substandard materials.i am now at 121,647 miles and would like to know if issuance of a recall to fix all of the doors will occur on the jeep grand cherokees made in 2005.thank you
2005 jeep has been slipping into neutral since february 2013. It caused me to have an accident because i couldn't get out of the way of rear-oncoming traffic. No major damage was done thankfully!a few weeks later i experienced a rollaway. I went into the sitter to pick up my son. After about 5 minutes of being inside i my jeep roll across the street! i go running outside, opened the door and pulled up the emergency break...just missing an embankment!since the "neutral" thing started i have had several service lights come on. My mechanic performed a diagnostic check and he said its all electrical.also, i've had issues with the front passenger window going up/down slower than the rest of the windows since 3 months into purchase. Other issues are cracked door handles (both front doors), replacing taillight kit, ac switch-a few times as it would only work on high.
All of the inside door handle pockets have fallen apart, the plastic used was bad and this should be a recall due to the safety issue. I could see if one went bad, but all four, this is a major problem. From what i have seen online, it seems all types of this vehicle and year seem to have the problem.
Normal door use, door handles cracking then breaking.worried about safety.nothing done to repair.three out of the four are broken.
The interior door handles have broken off or are about to break off in my 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited hemi.there is a common manufacturers material defect, as the door handle "pocket" is made out a brittle plastic that shatters under normal use.this is dangerous because in an emergency, one would not be able to exit the vehicle because the interior door handle does not work.you have to open the power window and open the door from the outside, obviously this is unacceptable and needs to be addressed by chrysler/jeep.
I have had my 2005 jeep grand cherokee for 3 years. One year ago, i got a crack in the plastic around the drivers side door handle. Then 6 months ago, the front passenger door handle cracked. Last month, the rear passenger door handle broke off while a friend was trying to exit. The door handles are slowly breaking off at the plastic around the door handle.
Rear interior door handle on passenger side failed with no misuse or excessive force. Door handle is inoperative. Must open door from exterior of vehicle. No sign of any wear or obvious damage from visual inspection. Dealership quotes repair cost to be prohibitively expensive. Seems to be manufacturer defect. Obvious concern that this could be a safety hazard in case rapid egress from vehicle is required in an emergency situation.
3 out of 4 of the interior door handles molding are broken and because of that, you can not open the doors from the inside using the doors handles.you have to let down the windows to open both of the back and front passenger doors in order to get out of the car. The driver side is beginning to have the same trouble with opening. The dealer price for replacement cost is about $200+ not including labor. I checked the internet for a solution only to discover that is a major problem with this year's model and many complaints have been filed with chrysler. All said that chrysler refused to help with the problem which is very costly for the average working person. To me it is a serious safety hazard when driving the car. What if the car catches fire, or rollover in a accident or goes in a body of water? i am hesitate to drive the vehicle because of that. All car owners expect to make repairs to their vehicle from daily use. However, it should not be the owner responsibility to pay for a repair when it is a know fact that many owners are having the same problem on the same model and year of the vehicle. Chrysler should be made to have recall to correct the problem.
The plastic paneling near my door handles have become brittle and have broken causing my passengers to become stuck on the inside of the vehicle and unable to operate the door handle properly on exiting the vehicle. This is a safety concern as the passenger may not be able to exit the vehicle easily in case of an accident.
There is a defect in the plastic used to make the door panels on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the plastic around the door handle latches is breaking apart and crumbling.all 4 doors are having the same issue of the plastic failing. If the plastic continues to break apart the door handle will fail and you will not be able to open the door.this is safety issue which could prevent myself or passengers from exiting vehicle in case of an emergency.dealership was contacted and informed of the defect.dealership stated there was no recall and they had not come across said problem before.i informed them that it was obvious defect since all the doors were degrading at the same time.dealership stated that my only option was to buy new door panels for $2600.my research shows that this is not an isolated incident and there have been many complaints of the defect door panels.this is a serious safety issue and chrysler needs to recall the door panels on this model.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and i really have a concern to whom or where i could file a claim with a problem with my interior door handles.the reason why i'm complaining is that all the 4interior door handles cannot by opened from the inside as usual because all of them are broken and with the plastic cracked, made in pieces and holes where the plastic has been missing.most of the time i have or the passengers have to open the door from outside.please help me in this or give me some advice. What i have to do or where i could find information to replace them.thanks
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.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and all my interior door handles are breaking,i have three small children and i am concerned they would not be able to get out of the vehicle if anything were to happen.
All 4 interior door handle on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee have broken, two of which ar currently in-operable. Chrysler has told me it is an isolated incident however every website i check has hundreds of complaints.
I went to open my driver's door this morning and it wouldn't open, had to open it from the inside. After open the door would not shut and latch. The plastic on the inside of the door handle is cracked and bad. Common problem, chrysler group should recall this is a safety issue among many grand cherokees.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The interior door panels and handles to open the doors are all broken. The dealership wants $600-700 per door to replace. This is a safety defect rendering the passengers unable to open up the doors. The chrysler corp should do a recall and fix this obvious and dangerous design/manufacturing issue. As a result of the broken door panels, the door handles will not properly open up the doors for both the front and rear passenger doors. If there is ever an accident and those doors are the only escape route, they will render the passengers trapped in the car.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee interior door handles have all broken loose from their door panels making them inoperable. I have inquired about any assistance from the manufacturer since the problem seems to have been caused by faulty material and really poor design. The answer has been negative. I am concerned that in an emergency it would be impossible to exit the vehicle if i were not able to get the windows down to use the exterior handle.i feel a recall is definitely in order since the price to replace these panels is exorbitant ( $700.00 to $800.00 each) and no assistance is being offered through the manufacturer. There are multiple cases in your file regarding this issue and a huge amount of documentation from customers on the internet!!!please help all of us rectify this dangerous situation. Please don't wait until an injury or death is reported that wascaused by this problem !!
I haven't been in a wreck yet; but this is more of preventative measure. I have looked at multiple sites and seen where there have been thousands of complaints on interior door handles breaking off. I notified chrysler and they told me that was the 1st they have heard of it, and was willing to do anything about it. All four of my handles have broken off and i have rigged up the driver door, but as far as passengers they wouldn't be able to get out if their was an emergency. I would think jeep would step up and issue a recall on this poorly made product.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee door handles inside are breaking.they are plastic and seem to be cheaply made.they just start to crack and after a few months the whole handle is gone.jeep needs to issue a recall or look into this issue before someone cant get out of there vehicle in a emergency.
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.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee rear drivers side latch handle broke while trying to exit the vehicle.after further inspection, 2 more latches are experiencing stress fractures in plastic molding.
Rear passenger door handle broke from door panel causing child to not be able to open door from inside. The handle is not dangling there from wire. The other doors are showing signs of spider cracks, eventually leading to breakage.
3 of the 4 interior door handles have broken off out of the handle housing.the 2 back doors are unable to open from the inside creating a serious safety risk.the drivers door is hanging on by a thread.still operable but handle housing is completely broken.even normal wear and tear should not cause this type of breakage on so many vehicles.chrysler should step up and rectify this issue before deaths occur and lawsuits begin.
The door handles and plastic surrounding the door handles have cracked and door handles are broken.this is a safety problem or recall.if you get trapped in your jeep and the door handle breaks then there's no way out from that door.my jeep is in great condition hardly any wear and tear.this is defective lemon material.it just crumbles.
Back driver side interior door handle can off when a passenger was trying to exit. This door is hardly ever used.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited hemi , it only had 26,000 miles on it. All four of the interior door panels have now broke where the door handle is attached. The drivers door panel has broke the worst and the door handle is not even attached to the panel anymore , which has become a safety concern. I have contacted my dealer and turned in a claim for customer complaints. After3 or 4 weeks they contacted me to say it is out of warranty. That is precisely why i called them and explained my situation. Surely they can do something to alleviate this situation , all four door panels is going to cost around $3,000 dollars. I have read numerous reports about this problem onseveral different sites on the internet. The whole interior panel is connected to where the door handle is situated. Meaning you have to replace the whole door panel. Please help, this is definitely a big defect and a costly one to us the consumer. Any help to this matter or a fix to this situation would be hugely appreciated.
The interior door panels are constructed with weak plastic causing the door handles which are molded into the plastic door panels to fail. Failure of the door handles to open the doors from the interior is a safety hazard in the event of an incident (fire,accident,etc. ) that requires immediate evacuation from the vehicle.
Approximately 3 years ago, the interior door handle attached to the door panel became brittle and cracked and over time the 2 rear doors do not have handles, just gaping holes, and the front door handles are cracked with large holes. The obvious defect of the construction material has created a situation where the rear passengers cannot exit in an emergency. The cracking of the door panel is not normal wear and tear, but a defect in construction.
Front driver-passenger side door panels.i recently discovered that my front driver and passenger door panels have cracked around the interior door handle.the cracks have progressed to the point where the door handles dislodged from the panel from repeated use.the cost of each panel is $770.00, excluding labor.the dealer where purchased stated "there is nothing we can do about it."what's disconcerting is that the back of panel shows reinforcement (thicker plastic) for the window buttons but the material is paper-thin for the door handle.once the door handle falls off, the only way to open the door is to roll down the window and push the exterior button.i have filed a complaint with chrysler.
The rear right door handle broke. My truck has under 80,000 miles.
My door handles on4 of my doors (not one or two but four) on the inside have cracked, some cracked where one is unable to open the door from the inside which now makes this a safety issue. This is problem because the plastic in the doors are so brittle that any force can cause the handle to break. I have approached jeep about the issue and they do not even listen to my complaint and said i just had to buy a new replacement door panel. A door panel to replace a faulty door handle is quite unacceptable and not a logical excuse for their bad and very cheap product. You pay good money to stay with an american vehicle but with excuses like this make me want to buy foreign.something needs to be done as i have researched the issue to find many people in my same situation...
The door handles of the interior doors are all breaking apart. This could be a safety issue in case of an accident and the people inside of the vehicle not being able to escape. The material is very thin plastic that is very cheap and the reason not one but all of the interior door handles are broken and/or cracked about to break.
Both of the backseat passenger interior door handles are completely broken off. The driverinterior door handle is broken off. This is a safety hazard because god forbid an accident occurs there's no way to open the door from the inside. The only way to open the doors is to physically roll down the window and open the door from the outside.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the door handles were cracked and fractured. The contact mentioned that the rear passenger and driver side door handles only opened from the outside. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.
Interior door handles broke off making it dangerous to get out of vehicle in an emergency.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee has a defect that includes all of the interior door handles braking from regular use. This problem is a major safety concern as anyone inside the vehicle cannot exit the vehicle in case of an emergency. Further more, children and or adults may accidentally cut themselves on the sharp broken plastic edges of the broken handle. In order to replace the handles i had to order a new door panel, yet after only 6 months the handle was broken again. This is not an issue related to my jeep only, with a little research its easy to find thousands of other people with the very same problem i am experiencing with any jeep grand cherokee from 2005-2010.
Broken interior door handles (driver and front passenger) and cannot open the doors from inside.i found many complaints online with similar problem. I am very concerned an accident can occur and we would be trapped because the doors cannot be opened from the inside.
All interior door panels broken. I have contacted jeep/chrysler and they say they wont fix it.
All 4 interior door handles are cracking and breaking at the base of the handle. I can barely get out of my jeep opening from the inside, and i have to get out to let my son out at school. My children must wait for me to open their doors, and if i were to get into a collision and my car on fire, i would in no way have time to roll my window down, get out, then let my kids out before an explosion of gasoline and other fluids engulfed my vehicle. This is not normal wear and tear, or the driver handle would be the worst, for it is most used. The driver handle was the last to break, and i'm not happy for the money i'm soon to spend, especially when i search online and find so many others having the very same complaint.
Door panels broken on back rear doors.passenger front door is cracked.unable to open doors due to the door handle is broken.unsafe conditions.i have a child that sits in the back and this is a safety issue.
I have a jeep grand cherokee limited, 2005.the rear right door handle cracked and upon exiting of my family member, the hand simply broke off.in the past week, i have been experiencing a threatening to break of the driver's side door handle. I am the only one driving my jeep and i worry that when i have my grandchild in the vehicle and the rest break as it appears they are threatening, exiting the vehicle will be an issue. I have contacted both the dealership in my town as well as chrysler regarding this issue and i was informed that i would have to replace the door panels rather than the actual door handles.the dealerships are kicking the can down the road and this is dangerous for them as well as the customers.chrysler needs to deal with this issue before it becomes a real problem. After the recall was performed, the consumer noticed the ignition cylinder physically extended out from the housing and was very difficult and awkward to engage when starting the vehicle. In addition to that, when starting the vehicle, the windshield wipers came on. The consumer stated it was not an issue prior to the recall work being done.the dealer repeatedly told the consumer the ignition switch had nothing to do with the wipers.updated 06/02/16.
I just bought a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited 5.7l hemi and after purchasing the vehicle, i noticed that the rear passenger side interior door handle had snapped off so that you are unable to open the door from the inside. The front passenger side door handle is cracked, but not completely broken off yet. There is some spider cracking on the rear drivers side handle as well. After doing a little research, i realized that it's not a part that can just be replaced, it must be replaced by jeep and can cost upwards of $3,000. I see this as a very urgent safety issue because if i get in a car wreak or there is a fire, my passengers and i would have trouble exiting the vehicle. This is a problem that needs to be addressed by jeep and soon before this takes a tragic turn.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the interior door panels (all 4 doors) have cracked/crumbled around the door handles making it impossible to open the doors from the inside.this is a very dangerous safety hazard and should be addressed immediately.i have 75,000 miles on the vehicle, therefore it is not under standard warranty.the dealership said they could replace the entire panel on each door for about $500-$700 each.
Interior door handle housings cracking and breaking.hard to open door from the inside. Not covered under warranty or recall.
2 of 4 interior door panel on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee are broken.i have not replaced the panels due to cost and working around the problem for now.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited interior door handle broke off like many other owners. This should not happen, all my door piece around handle broke off completely. I understand many people having same problem claim manufacture defect. Jeep should take action to correct this before someone get badly hurt.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited has 68k miles and 2 out of the 4 interior door handles are broken. The other 2 that aren't broken are cracked and could possibly break anytime. I am fearful that in the event that something were to happen to the battery in the vehicle during an accident, my two children in the rear seats will not be able to get out. My vehicle is 6 years old but has very little miles on it and the handles shouldn't have broken so easily. There has been no abuse to the handles at all. There is no aftermarket repairs available for this vehicle that i can find and the only remedy is to purchase new door panels. Like everyone else in the usa, i don't have the money to replace something like that, that shouldn't have broken in the first place.
The interior door handles are broken. The driver side door is barely hanging on, it's getting more and more difficult to open the door to get out. The front passenger side door handle is starting to crack, i have put a little epoxy on the handle to try and make it last longer. The cost to replace the handles are ridiculous! these doors are a death trap!!!!!
3 of my interior door handles are completely broken off.i was told by the dealership that my extended warranty did not cover the interior door handles.the total cost to repair the 3 handles is $2,100.00. I cannot afford to fix these handles.i researched online to see if others had the same issue.as a matter of fact, on this site alone, there are numerous accounts of people all over the country that are having the same issues with their jeep grand cherokee's.why isn't there a recall to fix this issue?do you know what the end result could be if someone is trapped in their vehicle after a serious accident, because the door handles are inoperable?i can see if maybe a few people we're complaining, but it's not.this is faulty equipment by the manufacture and chrysler should own up to their mistake.if safety is of your concern, you should put this at the top of your list.thank you for your time.
I have a 2005 grand cherokee with a door handle. My driver door handle is just about to drop off.. I noticed the "loose" handles but my rear drivers side door doesn't have a handle for the same reason. Jeep definitely needs to recall these issues before something happens. Massive list of complains in the nhtsa website and jeep/chrysler has not issued a recall...huge safety concern for all of us that have kids in the back seat and other passengers and god forbid there's an accident opens like you mentioned a fire or an accident and your passengers can't exit the vehicle.
The interior panel handles are all broken, i called the dealer and they said this would cost around 1,400 dollars to replace each frontside handles, by doing research over the internet i've notice that this is a very common defect on this vehicles, at this moment chrysler doesn't want to take any responsibilities on this defect. I am worry that in case of an accident my family and me could get stock inside the car.
Plastic interior door handles are all crumbling and doors cannot be opened from inside creating a safety hazard for passengers.all four handles are affected.window must be opened and car door must be opened from the outside while leaning out the window.
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.
In my 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited i began to notice the plastic that the door handle was connected by began to crack, within a few weeks the entire door handle was no longer working leaving me to have to open the window to open the door from the outside. This is a vehicle safety issue, due to a supplier's defective plastic resin mix, not a warranty issue. In case of a crash or fire, a passenger or driver might not be able to get out of the vehicle and could be trapped in and could die, my passenger side is also hanging very loosely and soon will not work as well. The door handle is not a separate part as in most vehicles so the entire door handle must be replace. The dealer charges more than 800 dollars to fix a door piece, and the part will just be replaced with another door panel with the exact same plastic that will break eventually again.
2005 jeep grand cherokee, plastic door panel and handle assembly is cracked and or broken behind where the pull handle is. Jeep refuses to fix this issue without charging over 3k for parts and labor. Failure on drive and passenger door @ 50k miles. Handles are now just floating in door cavity. Serious basic safety issue.please make them fix this via recall.
Interior door latch on rear drivers side door completely broke off and drivers side front door latch beginning to crack around plastic and incur same problem. This is a huge safety issue in case of accident or fire one would be trapped inside vehicle unable to exit presumably dying from injuries. This is an obvious on going problem with the jeep cherokee and i feel chrysler needs to own responsibility for this and incur the expense of all repairs.
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The interior door handles have broken and there is no way to replace just the door handle. You have to replace each door handle. And that cost about 2000.00 a piece for each door panel.
My jeep grand cherokee 2005 has only 25,900 miles and 4 of the 4 inside handles are broken, gone due to the poor quality plastic. This is a major safety concern and chrysler don't wanna do nothing about it!!! what was gonna have to happen before chrysler starts looking into this? what if me and my family get to a car accident and can't get out of the car !!!! maybe then they will look into it!!!!
I have been dealing with this for years in my 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The door handles on the inside are all broken. One in the back is completely broke off and the 2 in the front are hanging by a wire. This is a very dangerous issue and i get nowhere when trying to talk to jeep or even jeep dealers. Recently i saw online many more people with this problem and someone even said jeep agreed to a $50 copay in 2010. I brought my jeep into the dealer when it was still covered under my extended warranty bought from jeep when i bought it in 2006, and they told me it is cosmetic and not covered. When calling jeep i was told nobody has died so no recall and i am responsible for replacing these door handles. You can not replace the handles only, you have to replace the whole panel and total cost is around $3000. With the amount of people having this issue it is unbelievable that it is not being addressed on a large scale. If one of us gets killed from being trapped inside of their jeep because the door handles are all broken they will have a huge price to pay. I am down to one handle, and extremely unhappy! please help!!!
I'm the original user of a jeep grandcherokee laredo,2005, with a 64,000 miles.the hazard is that all(4)interiors doors handles brokedown due to cheap plastic materials and because they made the door handles as an integrate part of the complete door panel.this is a safety hazard because the door opens only from outside, putting all occupants lifejeopardized. This is not something of heavy use or due tobehavior of the occupants. As a fact this car was my company car so no many people was sitting in the back seat. The cost of this four panels(including the handles) is above the $2,000.00. I saw other complaints in other sites about the same problem including people who bought these suv's in europe. I can send you photos if you considered necessary and the details of the car identification numbers if you may think is necessary to continuing finding the solution of this hazard.
2 of the 4 interior door handles have broken off and are unusable; the other two are cracked and appear to be breaking.
The door handles are disintegration. The plastic is so brittle it snaps under very little pressure. This is happening on all four doors. I was told by the dealership its not a recall item but in my opinion being able to exit the vehicle under normal circumstances or in an emergency is critical. I use more force to break a piece of celery in half than i did to break off a piece of this plastic. Its only a matter of time before someone has an accident and dies because of simple handle failure.
My 2005 grand jeep cherokee limited has defective door panels. 3 door panels have holes around the handle, 1 is completely broken and is will not open the door. The 4th door panel is cracking. Soon all four doors will not be abled to be opened from the inside, causing a safety issue.this car is in mint condition with only 26,000 miles on it. This is a defect, not wear and tear!!
Inside door handles start to break at the plastic housing where the handle attach to. Two doors are broken and unusable at the moment. Passengers can't exit the vehicle which pose a big security risk. This is a common problem on jeep grand cherokee and should be fixed for free by the manufacturer. Today it costs approx $3000 to fix all four doors.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the rear interior door handles fractured and detached. In addition, the front passenger side interior door handle was fractured and would not open the door. The only handle that was functional was the front driver side door handle; however, it was also fractured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the door panels would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
Door handle on 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo seems to be ready to break on driver door. I can see a sort of pin cracking through the door itself. This is a safety issue that needs to be fixed immediately. Notified jeep dealer in concord, nc and i was told that i would have to buy a new door panel assembly to fix this as it is not under warranty.
Where you open up the door by the door handle it has started breaking on my front driver side and both of the doors in the back seat.
Interior door handles are broken off, front door cracked and driver door missing part.
Brand new 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo, right front passenger door was being opened, a gust of wind caught the door and hyper-extended it causing it to be misalinged.the next time the door was opened, the front lip of the door caught on the rear of the right front fender and caused a dent in the fender approximately 6 inches long and 3 inches wide.to properly fix damage, right front fender was replaced and painted, right front door was repaired and repainted, hood was repainted to blend with new paint on fender and door.total cost of repairs was approximately $1,300.important to note, no other damage to any other vehicles, property or people was caused by this gust of wind.it happened in a grocery store parking lot and there were lots of other people, cars and property around.nothing else was damaged and the gust of wind seemed very minor.in 30+ years of driving i have never experienced damage to a door due to a wind gust nor have i ever heard from anyone i know of receiving damage to a door due to a wind gust.this appears to me to be a door hinge design flaw.
2005 jeep grand cherokee limited - car is in good condition except for 3 of the 4 doors have handles casings that are cracked and the door handle is hanging off.the car is well maintained and garage kept. This started happening in the last year and has spread rapidly.all 3 doors have done it the same place and it has started with a crack and then grown into the pieces falling off and leaving the inner workings of the door fully exposed.this a grave safety issue and a recall needs to be issued.
Car purchased 6/20/05 with 0 miles.car taken to repair 7/11/05 with 450 miles.some where on the residential streets a pebble went into the car and damaged the air compressor.freon has been leaking since the impact.the service dept can not pin point just how long the freon has been leaking but all i know is that i am 6 months pregnant and have 2 other little girls that have been inhailing this freon.the car damage is not covered under waranty since this is a road hazard.however, the car is designed to drive through mountainsand rocky roads.there is a designer fault since the new cars do not have a protection grid /net to prevent debris from doing such damage.the older models do have this.when i asked the service dept of prevention devise they only stated that the car was designed this way and that i am not the only person with this simular problem with this new jeep laredo 2005.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. The vehicle has less than 60,000 miles.on the engine hood cover, the original and existing gas operated hood support does not hold. There have not been very many opening and closings of the engine compartment. The hood slams down and could cause a personal injury.
2005 jeep grand cherokee the hood does not stay up. Fell on my hand and x-ray was required.updated ivoq 08/17/10updated ivoq 08/19/10.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the contact propped up the hydraulic hood in order to disconnect the battery.the hood came down abruptly onto the contact's head and back.the contact sustained head injuries.the current mileage was 34,315 and failure mileage was 34,260.
- the contact stated thatthe2005 jeep grand cherokee only has 1 strut to hold up the hood.the strut is on the right hand side.the hood has fallenon him while he was under the hood checking the fluids. The contact stated that the hood came down across his back, he was not injured at the time.this failurehappened over 10 times.the contact stated that the hood has also fellat the chrysler dealer while getting serviced.the dealer has ordered a new strut for the vehicle.
The passenger side window on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo will not roll up (after dropping down into the door on the highway).
The interior door panels (all 4) at the handle are cracking and breaking. Many times the doors have to be opened from the outside. I contacted jeep and was told they have never heard of this problem, that i was the only person to report it. They told me it was normal wear and tear and that they were not responsible.
On the drivers door, the plastic of the panel supporting the interior door handle has broken leaving the handle unmounted and useless. Obviously, this is a safety hazard as it takes more time to egress the vehicle in an accident.
While returning to my home in nj from a trip to fl, i heard a loud thump from the rear passenger side of the car followed by a noticeable change in exhaust note. I pulled into a gas station a few miles away and inspected the vehicle. The rear portion of the exhaust was missing, from what appeared to be separation due to corrosion.the rear bumper melted at the point above where the exhaust tip extends.of course, warranty coverage for this part expired at 8 yrs/80k miles.
Was notified by service dept. That the crossmember of the frame that supports the transmission was cracked /broken due to excessive rust and needs to be replaced cost=$800.00 seems unusual at this time&mileage. Thank you
Takata recall
As i pulled into my apartment complex around 5:30am on 8/08/2013, i noticed a loud "thud" sound and my jeep became stalled in the driveway.i pressed gently on the gas pedal to move my vehicle out of oncoming traffic, but the jeep wouldn't move and then finally jolted into drive without me pressing on the gas pedal.i was able to coast to a parking spot.the service 4-wheel drive indicator light came on the dash before i shut the ignition off.the vehicle has been serviced appropriately and efficiently over the past 2 years since i purchased it.i called shore tire on 8/9/2013 to set up an appointment for a mechanic to look at my vehicle.i was able to drive the jeep at 10mph a mile down the road on 8/12/2013 to the service shop.i was informed the parking brake ad dislodged itself from the shaft, dismantling the rear backing plate system, left rear abs sensor, left rear axle/hub and damaged the rear rotors.i had to pay $1,320.30 for parts and labor.
We have only had this jeep for 2 years when we got it looked good it only had 80,000 miles onit now118,000front ball bearing broke while we were driving it fortunately we were in a alley behind our house theauto mechanic said if we were driving it on the main road we could of flipped it over and we could of got killed he checked the other side and said it was going bad too. It costed us 774.14 to fix this after we had it fixed there was a recall on it the ball bearingsthis happened on 10-25-1015 i was wondering what else can i do
The rear drive shaft is causing a rumbling as you speed up or maintain speed. It feels like driving over small speed bumps or rubble strips, even when there is nothing in the road. It is a safety concern because it is a leak in the oil of the drive shaft. It is also a pretty expensive problem to fix. Jeep and mopar need to fix this safety issue. Like yesterday.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the front driver side wheel detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic who advised the contact that the ball joint failed. The manufacturer was contact and stated that the part was not under warranty, providing no assistance. The failure and the current mileages were 22,000. Updated 11/27/12 the consumer stated the vehicle only has 23,000 miles. A mechanic informed the consumer that this should never have happened at that mileage. The mechanic also statedone ball joint was rusted and pitted and the other black and shinny. Updated 12/10/2012
Won't speed up and when is does it gets jammed and it shakes and when i break its shakes even when i turn. I just bought it and they are telling me that it's either the motor messed up or the computer. They told me that it'll cost me 3,000 i don't have that. I saved up for a head to by it. And a month after i got it it's messing up. But when i first bought it. I took it to a shop and it threw no codes nothing was wrong with it. It took all of a month to break down on me. And the battery won't stay charged they put in a new battery when i first got it. Then i had to warranty another because that one stopped working. I just need help to figure out what is going on.
Dt*:the contact stated after two months of purchase the windshield wipers suddenly stopped working.the vehicle was taken to the service dealer who repaired the wiper motor.later, the vehicle began to sway while driving 30-60 mph.one day, while the vehicle was swaying, it left the roadway and struck the guard rail.the incident was not reported to the police and no one was injured.the dealer inspected the vehicle and determined, the accident damaged an axel part and it needed to be replaced.the part was not replaced and the vehicle continues to sway, vibrate and pull to the right.updated 5/10/2006 -
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 nutsor 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.
Every day i crank up my jeep i give it 5-10 mins before i move it because it has this shake or vibration to it really bad it stops and then once i have exceeded 45-55 mph and start to come to a stop it shakes the entire front end. Now if i'm below 45 it don't really do it as often! when i turn or hit a bump in the road the front end rattled or vibrating from it! some days when i'm trying to make a u turn it seems as if it's having a hard time turning! check engine light constantly on and off! had it checked nothing is coming up indicating a misfire or anything! the gas mileage sucks! get a full tune up and it will run better spending all my money and it's still a piece of crap!
All safety recalls and recalls have not been done
Lower ball joint on right-front of vehicle is very loose and on the verge of separating, causing loss of left, front tire. Caught before this occurred and am having replaced. Online search shows that this is not uncommon with this model year (http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2005/jeep/grand_cherokee/suspension/problem.aspx) yet it is not being addressed by the manufacturer.
While shifting from forward to reverse, front end thumps loudly. Took vehicle to dealer and was told there is a rubber spacer that has failed and that they would need to order the part.the dealer then informed us that this part was on back order and that we should be careful while driving, sue to the fact that if this connection where the rubber was breaks, it could cause us to crash.we have checked with several dealers and local mechanics and all state the same and that the part is still on back order.
I was driving my 2005 jeep grand cherokee with 46560 miles on the highway when i encountered heavy traffic.traffic slowed down to a crawl so i turned right to change lanes.as i turned, the left front wheel fell off my vehicle and i could not move.the upper ball joint had completely separated from the socket.i have contacted chrysler and am awaiting a response.
No events lead to failure that can be recalled.the upper driver's side ball joint separated from the knuckle, causing complete loss of control,fortunately, the car was traveling at only 15 mph.this was witnessed by an oakland county (michigan-home of chrysler headquarters) sheriff.upon my investigation, i found reference to at least 4 chrysler suv products with an uncommonly high rate of failure of the ball joints.
Dt: while driving down the street at15 mph and the front right tire came off, including the wheel and part of the axle. There was no warning before the accident. The tire hit a car that was empty. The police did not file a report. The owner went to the dealership, and told them about the problem. The dealer had the vehicle towed, and chrysler was contacted. The chrysler representative did an inspection. Chrysler sent a letter notifying the owner that there was nothing they could do.dealership will not even give the owner a loaner vehicle. The problemwas not reported to the insurance company. Ownerdid notfeel that insurance company should be contacted since it will cause his insurance to go up. Dealer stated that there was nothing they could do, and they hadno idea what could have happened. There were no injuries.
Dt: on september 10, 2005 whiledriving onthe road and the vehicle shook. Originally thought it was a flat tire, but there was not a flat tire. Vehicle is at dealership, there are no codes showing up,have to wait for the problem to happen again, it shakes as if as going down road at 55 mph with a flat tire. The steering wheel was shaking and the vehicle seemed sluggish like it did want to go. When slowing down the vehiclethe vibration would slow down. Then, on september 22, 2005 went to apply the brakes and the light came on in the dashboard . After another five or six miles the brake pedal started vibrating, but like a smaller vibration compared to the vibrating. The dealership is looking at the brakes now also.
When driving in my neighborhood which is a 25 mph zone i applied brakes lightly after just coming out of a turn. At this time i felt a large pop and i had lost complete control of my steering. I immediately struck a parked car that was sitting in the road. A couple hours after my truck was towed to a local chrysler dealership where a claim was processed and sent in. Two weeks following an adjuster came and looked at it immediately denying my claim. I got a letter in the mail saying it was not a faulty part and it was not chryslers responsibility. The manager at this chrysler dealer stated that he almost got arguing with the adjuster because he claimed my arm was twisted but there was not a single twist in it. I contacted several people and they all have looked at it giving me letters of opinion that this is due to a faulty part. The control arms on these particular models are made out of pot metal which is grounded up recycled metal melted together. Chrysler manufacturer painted them black to give it a cast iron look. The next step was my insurance company, i contacted them, an adjuster came out. My insurance paid for my body damage to be fixed but would not pay for the mechanical parts or the other lady's car because they said it is without a doubt chryslers responsibility. If anyone has had anything like this happen please contact me. I need help with this.
2005 jeep grand cherokee . The vehicle's front driver side wheel fell off while the consumer was driving. *njthe consumer stated when the wheel fell off, the vehicle slid 180 feet down the parkway, in which the vehicle continually slammed into the concrete divider. Afterwards, the consumer noticed the entire wheel had disconnected from the vehicle. The dealer informed the consumer that there was no grease in the ball joint, which caused the ball part of the joint to grind down like sandpaper, metal on metal, in which the ball slipped out of the socket.

Our 2005 jeep cherokee has 16,000 miles on it. I was stopped at a stop light. I made a right turn and in the middle of my turn, the left front wheel fell off. I lost my breaks but because i was going so slow i soon came to a stop. I called lone star jeep chrysler and had it towed to them. A chrysler engineer came to inspect the vehicle and determined i had a collision. In essence they said i was lying. No airbags were deployed and i stated the incident exactly as it happened. The vehicle is still being repaired and it will be at our cost. The dallas morning news has reported today that there has been a history of the upper ball joints separating in jeeps yet chrysler refuses to take responsibility.
The rack and pinion on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee is completely worn out and makes considerable amounts of noise when decreasing in speed.car has 47,000 miles and before my warranty was up at 36,000 i took the vehicle in for rear end inspection and they found "no problems."this is fraud, and now i have to pay $1350 to have the rack and pinion replaced.
While driving on the freeway 70 mph andwhen slowing down to take an exit the vehicle shut down, there was no power at all.consumer was able to pull over and restart the vehicle. Consumer drove the next day to the dealership and left the vehicle. Dealer could find nothing wrong after three days.after picking the vehicle up from the dealer it shut down while at a stop light.consumer took it back to the dealer.no defects could be found. Consumer went on a trip, and the vehicle stopped while making a right turn.again the dealer could not find any defects.computer was replaced.there was also rear suspension noise.sunroof is noisy.
While driving on interstate 81, our low tire pressure light came on.about 10 seconds later our rear passenger tire exploded causing our vehicle to jerk to the right and weave back and forth.we were able to pull off of the road and when inspecting the tire, black smoke was rolling from the tire and the tire was in shreds.the wall of the tire completely exploded.the tires were puchased about 1 year ago.they are hankook dynapro a7-m p245/65r17 tires.they are not on the recall list, but should be.we are now scared to drive the car for fear one of the three other hankook tires will explode.we are thankful that we were not involved in a serious accident as our grandson was in his carseat in the backseat of the passenger side.
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee with tpms sensors installed.apparently, metal caps were installed on the valve stems that oxidated together making their removal impossible without twisting off the valve stem, flattening the tire.i can't even get a replacement tpms valve replacement from jeep (mopar) because they are on backorder (due to high demand because of problems like this).this creates an unsafe driving situation--i can't check my tire pressure because the cap is frozen on to the stem--if i try to remove it, the stem will break, and there is no supply of tpms replacement parts.these should have never been on the market installed this way-they should have had rubber/plastic caps installed.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.while driving approximately 55 mph on normal road conditions, the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel.the indicator remained lit until the engine was turned off.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing.the technician stated that the failure was related to the air bag sensor and ordered the part for the repair.the failure and current mileages were 55,000. Updated 2/9/09 the tire pressure light illuminated as well. Updated 02/13/09.
I currently drive a 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo, and i have been having trouble with the tpms tire valve stem spontaneously breaking causing rapid deflation.so far two have broken, but fortunately the car was not moving on both occasions.it appears the valves broke due to corrosion.my concern is that this may occur at a high rate of speed, causing a loss of control.
Corroded or snapped tpms valve cap on all 4 tires.
Red air bag light on dash comes on intermittently then stays on. Air pressure light comes on and tires are at normal psi. Some days both lights come on together. I have taken jeep in four times for same problem in 17 months and its doing it again within 3 months of last service.

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!
After dealer performed recall 13v175000, traction control is inoperative but no lights are illuminated to indicate the failure of the traction control system.also, shifting the transfer case is inoperative.no warning lights or informational messages are displayed to indicate the loss of functionality.dealer has cleared codes and replaced parts multiple times, but the problem remains.safety issues are:1. Driving in remote areas in low range, and being unable to shift into high range prevents driving on paved roads... Which could leave a driver stranded.2. Failure of traction control system could result in loss of control, especially in winter.
After only 31,000 miles the right front abs and traction control system on a 2005 jeep grand cherokee failed to work, causing erratic stopping, moving and braking.the car stopped in the middle of traffic and had to be accelerated rapidly to avoid a crash.
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).
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.
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
Rear passenger side door handle no longer opens the door from the inside.door handle is loosely flopping around.the door must be opened from the outside.this was first found when the stopped and my son couldn't get the door open.
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.
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.
Checking to see if my vehicle has a recall.
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.
I have numerous problems with the engine light coming on. This has been going on for some months now. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership for this problem at least three different times. My engine comes on and stays on for days at a time. The dealership was unable to diagnose the problem. Than for last few months, while i am driving all the gears on my dashboard light up and wont allow me to give the car any gas, and makes a sound like the engine is reving up. This can happen two to five times a day. Now, when i put the car from park to reverse it is a making a long banging noise and jerking the car.
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/
Takata recall.headlights randomly flicker or shut off while driving on highway
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.
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.
Driver's side interior door handle is broken and does not work.
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.
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.
Ok i'm fully aware my vehicle is under 3 recalls well technically speaking 2 cause ones a recall on the recall waiting for that recall to be recalled. This whole process is insane my vehicle has turned off while driving has unparked itself shifted on its own had the lights flicker i have even been pulled over mutiple times for these problems twice when the jeep decided it was gonna stop accelerating 3 times because the lights start flickering sometime just inside sometimes just the outside and most recently all the lights just stopped working vehicle still running made it about 10 feet after the lights went out and sure enough before i could even pull of tbe road blue lights i've had the vehicle less then 60 days it's stalled while sitting still it's stalled while driving it's shut off while idle and while driving. Its shifted on its own while driving and idle most recently i was checking the transmission fluid with the car in park in my driveway the support arms are dead so i used my handy dandy block o wood to hold it open well i pull the dipstick from the transmisson it was a little low so i turn around to grab my funnel and a bottle of fluid and i before i can even turn all the way around my parked car is rolling towards me and so i didnt get pinned between my jeep and my shed i tired to step into the vehicle to prevent my legs from getting stuck well i'm pretty tall and my head hit he hood witch lifted it slightly and my block o wood fell out witch lead to the hood pushing my face into the running car luckily a busted flip and a slight burn to my neck was all that happened now i understand that a block o wood is not standard safety equipment and i understand that a car rolling in netural a couple feet will more then likely not pin anyone but all i knew was the parked car was moving i didn't know if it was gonna speed up or what i need more room
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.
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
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!'
Faulty inside door handles/ cracked/ lose/ major safety hazard
While driving the vehicle in drive it slips into gear 3 by itself and when i attempt to accelerate its in limp mode. I always have to pull to the side and shut the vehicle on and restart it several times before it actually shift the ( d ) drive.
On 6/30/2015 i took my vehicle infor 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.
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
Car did not turn on. Ignition switch.
Indoor handles are all broken. Safety issue can't get out of the car from the inside.
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.
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).
"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
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.
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!
I purchased the grand cherokee just the day before the incident. When i purchased it i did notice on driver side door plastic was broken around handle but was still operational. The next day my daughter was getting out of front passenger door when plastic broke around handle and handle itself would not work. I did some research online and saw that thousands of grand cherokee owners have had the same exact problem. There was even a guy who started making and selling his own replacement kit. This could be a huge safety issue if something were to happen and driver or passengers needed to exit vehicle immediately and could not if windows didn't work to use exterior handle to exit. Why hasn't this been recalled?
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.
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
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.
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 nutsor 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.
The skid plate that holds the gas tank is rusted thru and need replaced. This seems to be a common design flaw.
I purchased a 2005 jeep grand cherokee on 10/14/2017 and on 10/20/2017 on my way from dropingmy kid off ,coming home my car started to run sluggish so getting off the highway it caught on fire.was there ever a recall on this car, so i look on the internet and found out that a recallinvolves 2005 .that the transmission fluid will get too hot cause it boil and eject some of the fluid could come into contact with a hot part of the exhaust and cause an engine according to jeep recall grand cherokee over fire dangerweb site.**see also 11053735**
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.
Getting indications that elect- brake problem indications, skid control indications, and air conditioner not working.
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.
Every time while driving the air bag light on dash is always on. Then upon driving, suddenly the seat belt alarm starts buzzing even though all seat belts are latched properly. Then the engine light will come on. Shortly after the dash goes completely black. All alarms and lights go out along with the heating/ac. This is on a routine basis.
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.
The center back seat seatbelt will not come loose. It is tightened and will not retract. I have to put my six year old on the left passenger side because i cannot seat her in the middle. It's concerning in the event of an accident, my child is susceptible to more injuries since i cannot properly seat her in the middle seat in the back.also, when it rains, the car leaks into the inside. This has been going on for quite sometime. I don't understand it. I spoke with my cousin who also owns a brand new jeep and even hers does this as well.
On 04/23/2016 i took my vehicle for a recall,p41 / nhtsa 14v-438today is 7/10/2016 and the vehicle has done the same thing twice, all of a sudden all the lights in the dash board go on i loose power and after a while it starts up again.like i said before this has happen twice now i lost my cruise control and a service electrical brake system is coming on and engine light.i fear that this is going to cause me to have an accident one day and there for i have been using only secondary roads that don't have much traffic.
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.
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.
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
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.while driving at any speed, the vehicle shuts off whenever an object touches the ignition key.the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer.the current mileage was 22,200 and failure mileage was 18,000. Updated 05/19/08.*lj
While driving all the instrument / gagelights came on then went off several times, while this was going on the vehicle speedometer and tachometer went to zero stayed for a few seconds , long enough for me to pull to the side of the road, then resumed operating. Not sure if direction lighting was responding on exterior of vehicleat the time. Or head lights, as it was daytime. I had difficulty getting people to acknowledge as it's generally a very busy road traveled. Meridian rd puyallup wa.
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.
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).
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".
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.
Ignition switch it has hard time starting
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
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 knobhas burned out air only blows onhigh.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
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
Consumer complaint concerning 2005 jeep grand cherokee continues to fail and dealer refuses to buy back vehicle.
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.
Takata recall, my car shifts to neutral whenever i'm driving it

A lot of owners of the jeep grand cherokee are experiencing the same problem with the dim head lights and trouble starting the car . The car simply won't start you have to crank it about 20 times . The car will sometimes turn off while driving in the road
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.
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.
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.
The blend air doors break or fall apart and no longer work! always heat! blend doors are crap. This is something!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Headlamps flashing intermitttently while driving at night. Potential accident waiting to happen. Veru distracting to me as well as oncoming traffic
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.
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.
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
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!'
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.?
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?
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.
Rear defrost does not work properly. Upper portion of defroster does not work while the lower portion does work minimally.
Brought vehicle in for oil change (only oil change). Jeep dealer gave back vehicle back with a new ignition stating there was a recall on it without me asking or authorizing them to do so. Now i have a new ignition that is not flush with the dash (sticks out about half an inch) and does not work properly with my original keys. My keys are extremely difficult to go in and out of the ignition and on 2 separate occasions the key was unable to be removed from the ignition resulting in the acc being left on overnight and being forced to take vehicle to dealer in the morning with a dead battery. Dealer states i need to purchase a new key because my keys are original and the ignition they replaced is brand new and are not synced up. The service manager told me it is my problem to purchase new keys for the jeep that had no issues prior to them replacing the ignition. Called jeep customer service and they told me i would be given a new key but than put me on hold for 20 minutes and told me it is actually my responsibility to purchase a new key after they changed out my ignition.
The door handle housing in front and rear doors have shattered causing open/closing mechanism to fail.
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.
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.
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.
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 doi do??

Latches/locks/linkagesin 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 ofthin 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.
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.
Rear support beams splitting welds
Allof the dash lights up, flashes/flutter/flickers, radio shuts off, hvac system shuts off, but engine still runs.this only happens when the car is on, however it can happen while in motion or in park.. But i do not see a pattern beyond that (like when it rains or is humid). I have tried to make it happen by juggling my ignition because i know that is a thing, but that never initiates the problem.
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!

The airbag light is on chrysler says they need to be fixed and do not work also the backing of the door handles have all cracked and broke the doors do not open from the inside due to the backing that holds the door handles together have all cracked and broke.
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
Plastic surrounding all 4 door handles cracking.front passenger door handle inoperable due to cracking.
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 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.
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?????
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.
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!!!!!
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.
After having safety recall n23 done to my jeep grand cherokee 5.7l i have since been locked out of 4-wheel low. The n23 safety recall for my vehicle has not worked as it has created another safety issue by me not having my 4-low in a state (colorado) that i use 4-low in for winter and for recreation use. I was almost trapped in the cold mountains due to not knowing the n23 recall deactivated my 4-low. Not only if this a safety issue but my vehicles value has diminished greatly as now it's a 2wd vehicle.
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.
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.
I own a garage kept, 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited 2wd with approximately 80,000 miles.3 of the 4 interior door handles are severely cracking making it difficult to open the door.this is a safety concern because once they full break, the door in unable to be opened from the interior.cost to repair each door is over $800.i contacted jeep customer support on 6-22-15, but was told this was not a known issue and that there was no assistance they could provide in repairing the door.this is a well documented safety issue and needs to be address so that consumers can get assistance in dealing with the safety problem.
Shudders when in stationary position
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.
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.
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.
Front passenger door handle cracked / vech. Has approx 60k miles little use for a 2005
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.
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.
June of 2014 and still to this day the gear shift can be moved from "p" to any gear, and that is when no keys are in the ignition/and no foot on the brake.i was working under the hood and my 4 year old son did just that and almost ran me over.i checked and the vehicle had no keys in it they were with me in my tool box because i didn't want him to do just that. I checked out the situation to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and to my surprise and still til this day, i can enter the vehicle with no keys and no foot on the brake just reach in and move the gear shift from "p" to any gear resulting in the clunk of the transmission and rolling of the vehicle. This is very unnerving and would like this to be fixed.i have read countless articles and blogs about this exact same problem.
The undercarriage has practically dissolved. The metal is too thin or it should of had a protective coating. Perhaps both.*dt
My jeep jumps to third gear randomly, and it ends up jittering and shaking. My car got stuck so many times and ended up being stalled on a busy highway and almost got into an accident. I was once parked and had shifted to drive but instead the jeep suddenly jumped to 3rd and my car started to go backwards and ended up hitting another car behind me. I had to pay the guy $500 and also got all the fluids and oils changed in hopes of getting this fixed, but to no avail. Yesterday, i spent $450 on these fluid and oil changes only to have the problem continue. Thousands of people are having the same issues and jeep has no answers.you guys need to do a total vehicle recall since jeep has no answers. Many people can die from this defect. I have a video to prove the car jumping to third and all the issues i just described.
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!
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While driving at a low speed, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. In addition, the air bag warning light illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 47,000. Updated 05/18/16*ljthe consumer stated the failure was not due to a failure of the ignition recall that was performed by the dealer. After extensive diagnostics, it was determined the power failure was due to non-related maintenance issues. The consumer requested to have his complaint withdrawn. Updated 07/07/16
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
All 4 of my indoor door handed are broken!!!
Door handles / door panel falling/ breaking apart on 2 doors.
Inside door handle cracked and broken came outthe other morning to passenger inside handle cracked and barely holding on or working
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.
All interior door panels on the 2005 jeep grand cherokee have cracked and, in some cases, broke apart around the door handle.i have had three repaired at a dealership at personal cost and one is pending.i believe it is a defect in the plastic resin manufacturing process for the early 2005 grand cherokees because all four door panels have cracked in the exact same place.chrysler was contacted on numerous occasions and denies that this is an issue.this is a potential safety issue because if the door handle breaks loose, you cannot open the door to exit the vehicle from the inside.this exact issue has been documented several times by other grand cherokee owners and all of them have had similar results with chrysler's denial of an issue.
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.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph, the vehicle independently accelerated to 35 mph with the illumination of the traction warning light. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 112,000.
My car was recalled by chrysler under p41/nhtsa 14v-438. That was in july and i just called the dealer and they still don't have the part. How much longer do i have to wait?
The contact owns 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated while entering a parking space, the vehicle abnormally accelerated and crashed into a parked vehicle. The contact was not injured. A police report was not filed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 65,000.
While driving approximately 55 mph the etc warning light came on and i lost all control of the throttle control of the car. I manged to coast home at 15 mph speed where i call call the dealer and have the car towed tothe shop for repair. A throttle control module was identified as being shorted and they replaced it at $1508.20 cost to me. Prior to this incident my control module went out causing the electric seats to retract and engine begin to shut down. This required a new power module at $1543 cost to me. The recall issued by chrysler for the ignition switch problem nhtsa 14v-438 has yet to be resolved by chrysler since september 2014. I feel the earlier electrical problems could be very likely related to the ignition switch recall and i had to pay for the other repairs, also the plastic support that holds all the interior door handles secure to the door have all broken because of a know design failure chrysler has on these vehicles. Chrysler has refused to repair the defect and this car is a danger to anyone who is in it while driving. If an accident occurred or a fire in the car, you could not escape from car in time to prevent serious injury. If there is no recall for this defect there should be one. Updated 11/06/15*lj updated 12/12/2017
When backing into parking space the car took off like a rocket ship/full throttle (5.7 hemi) like it had a mind of it's own. The result was property damage (unknown amount) and car damage over $7600.00 not including car rental for 2 weeks. Chrysler sent inspector to body shop and their determination was they found nothing wrong and said the case is closed. A jeep/chrysler dealership replaced the throttle body january 31, 2014 under warranty.we know this was not driver error. It was the scariest 15 seconds of our lives and could have easily killed someone. Now we wonder when will it happen again? we would like to know, has there ever been an engine going to full throttle accident involving a 2005 jeep/chrysler product?
I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo on 2 different occasions my engine sounds like it is revving at full throttle but i have no power.the rpm does not reflect this.both incidents have been first thing in the morning and there is no warning.fortunately i have had enough power to get the vehicle off the road.i estimate my speed to be approximately 5-10 mph.i am hoping that if you have had similar complaints that you can advise me what was done to fix the problem.i have had the jeep to the shop on two different occasions but they advise me since they cannot replicate the problem they cannot fix it.thank you for any assistance you can give me.

The fire department also appeared on the scene due to smoke emitting from the engine. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop where the vehicle was not examined for the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 60,000.
After dealer performed recall 13v175000, traction control is inoperative but no lights are illuminated to indicate the failure of the traction control system.also, shifting the transfer case is inoperative.no warning lights or informational messages are displayed to indicate the loss of functionality.dealer has cleared codes and replaced parts multiple times, but the problem remains.safety issues are:1. Driving in remote areas in low range, and being unable to shift into high range prevents driving on paved roads... Which could leave a driver stranded.2. Failure of traction control system could result in loss of control, especially in winter.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle was at a complete stop when it surged forward and crashed into another vehicle.

Saturday, june 17, 2006 my 2005 jeep grand cherokee was involved in a sudden unintentional acceleration incident.upon leaving a local car wash it suddenly accelerated, flying out of the building, smashing into three vehicles.it struck three individuals critically injuring two.three transported to hospital. One remains paralyzed.

Sometimes when i drive the engine feels like it stalls out and my rpm's don't move, all the boxes around prnd light up and the check engine light comes on. I have to pull over and put the car in park or sometimes i have to turn it off. Once this is done the car continues to drive like nothing happened but the check engine light will stay on for a day. Sometimes it happens on the highway which is very scary to just drop speed down to 40. I have read many blogs about this issue. It happens at random times.
While driving west on i-8 in arizona vehicle went completely dead without warning, power steering was lost, etc. Fortunately i was able to steer the vehicle onto side of the highway and bring to a stop. Traffic was virtually no-existent on this stretch of the road otherwise a crash of some kind would most likely take place. As we were in the middle of now where i immediately attempted to start the vehicle up again which it did without a problem. I was able to drive away and vehicle seemed to drive perfectly normal. I recently had the same problem happen again. And, again, i happen to be on a road with very little traffic so i was able to pull over and again the vehicle started up again without a hitch. I attributed the problem to the location of the ignition switch which makes it almost impossible not to bump into the key with your right knee anytime you're traveling long distances and wind up moving your feet around just to stretch them. I now realize that's a much larger problem than that.
Vehicle began uncontrolled acceleration after being put in drive into a tree
As i pulled into my apartment complex around 5:30am on 8/08/2013, i noticed a loud "thud" sound and my jeep became stalled in the driveway.i pressed gently on the gas pedal to move my vehicle out of oncoming traffic, but the jeep wouldn't move and then finally jolted into drive without me pressing on the gas pedal.i was able to coast to a parking spot.the service 4-wheel drive indicator light came on the dash before i shut the ignition off.the vehicle has been serviced appropriately and efficiently over the past 2 years since i purchased it.i called shore tire on 8/9/2013 to set up an appointment for a mechanic to look at my vehicle.i was able to drive the jeep at 10mph a mile down the road on 8/12/2013 to the service shop.i was informed the parking brake ad dislodged itself from the shaft, dismantling the rear backing plate system, left rear abs sensor, left rear axle/hub and damaged the rear rotors.i had to pay $1,320.30 for parts and labor.

I have had issues with this vehicle recalls p73 and 41 for over a year. The truck has been sitting in my driveway for a year!!! i have notified jeep numerous times, and yet the part has not been produced. I have been left with no car for 1 year. I have had to pay for uber, taxis, rentals, buses, trains, and have walked everywhere due to this recall. It has drained my battery. Jeep has not once compensated me. Every time i call, they say next month. This had been for one year now! the car lost power while driving on the interstate on 66, 395, and 495 interstates. What is it going to take for jeep to do something? i had one rep said we'll reimburse me, how are you going to reimburse me, for a part that's not even in production. I reported this issue to the jeep dealer where i reside last year about the lights flickering and the please fix the electrical brake system error, the refused , because they stated, they never saw it. I was told i can rent a car for them, on my own dime for 40.00 a day!! i shouldn't have to when it's jeep's recall. I have lost out on jobs, because of transportation. This is really serious.
In my 2005 jeep grand cherokee, while traveling on a congested road, approx. 25 mph, i took my foot off the gas to slow down.all of a sudden, the vehicle accelerated on its own.luckily, foot was on the brake hard.i attempted to tap gas pedal with other foot several times while trying to fight through traffic without crashing.i attempted to ease up on brake pedal while trying to pull car over, tapping on cruise control button, making sure that was off.in a state of shock, i actually turned the ignition key off, but the vehicle remained going.soon after, i was able to reach the side of the road with the vehicle still wanting to accelerate and foot still on brake.this terrorizing episode lasted for under a minute before it ended as suddenly as it started.due to the shock, i didn't realize i should have put the car in neutral.after a few minutes, i drove the car home very slow and cautiously, still shaking.i did not notice gauges on dashboard at time of the incident.the next morning, the car was towed to dealership.diagnostic testing, test driving.no codes, no incident replicated.throttle system checked and cleaned.no diagnosis found, suggest to change floor mats.i have driven vehicle for four years, no complaints.this is the first incident which scared the heck out of me.vehicle has 37,500 miles on it.having to pay for diagnostics and towing, we still do not know if it will happen again.my wife and i are both scared!hopefully, it won;t repeat itself.
While trying to stop, while my foot was on the brake pedal, the engine started racing and was not able to stop, i ended up hitting the car in front of me, 2 car passengers went to the hospital with minor injuries. Contacted jeep and car was checked by factory expert at local dealer , nothing defective was found with brakes . This has happened 2 times before this accident. Fortunately, i was able to stop. Also i had to replace all 4 rotors with less than 18,000 miles, complained to jeep and was told that rotors are normal wear and tear item and how long they last depends on your driving habits. I just heard on tv that there is a recall for brake failure, contacted jeep and was told no, there is no recall at this time.please let me know if there is a recall on 05 jeep grand cherokee for brake failure. Eq-10203460-4200. Date received 12/12/07new jersey police report. Updated 12/12/07
I was leaving the car wash and after putting the grand cherokee in drive with my foot on the brake it accelerated on its own and the brakes were not responsive. Unable to stop or slow down, to avoid traffic, i crashed into a stone wall. The car is totaled and i had serious injury to my head as the airbag also did not deploy.
We received a recall notice june 2014 for ignition switch. My vehicle dash board, gauges hear, air, everything shuts off at least 5 times a week. I am told from subclass that the part is still not in. In doing research, i have found the some cars completing shut down. Some while driving 60 on a highway. This needs to be fixed. I feel that over a year is long enough. I need my jeep fixed and safe to drive around with my 4 year old grandson in the back seat.thanks,deb

I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that has been stalling on me. I looked on youtube and there are other owners with same situation. It has stalled on me and my fiance about 10 times in traffic and at sudden stops. I was going 40 miles an hour on a busy street and it just died in the middle lane. I know chrysler had a recall or bulletin on the newer ones but this is more wide spread then they would like to attest to. There are several other complaints of same situation just type jeep stalling on google and you will see. I was almost in a collision recently and need this resolved please help.

Loss of power while driving, wont shift, no cruise control, brake lights on, . This happens at lest one a week.
Local carwash employee entered into a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. When ignition was turned on, the vehicle redlined and accelerated off of conveyor. Employee hit the break with no response. The vehicle collided with another vehicle and went through a towel cabinet and a brick wall. Four employees and myself were nearly killed. I took the driver out of the vehicle and while no one was in it, it was still trying to drive through the wall on it's own. (nothing was touching the accelerator).
Vehicle will not shift into correct gear when accelerating from a dead stop. Tops out at 3,000 rpms at 60mph. This is an intermittent problem. But will at least happen 2 times a day. When it happens you have to pull over and shut off the engine off and restart. This most likely will fix the problem. This is very dangerous when intraffic.this typically happens when you stop at a traffic light and start to take off. I had the censers changed in the transmission but didn't fix the problem. The vehicle has less than 100,000 miles on it. It is getting worse every day know.

I have a 2005 grand cherokee laredo under 3000 miles. My engine light has come on less than 10 times ,and my car has stalledwhen come to stop light or complete stop about 5 times. I have made 5 trips to the dealer and the first few times they could not find anything wrong with it. Then they determined it was related to the remote start which they had installed. I got it back and they said it was fixed and it stalled out when i pulled into my driveway that very day. Engine light came on again exactly 1 week later. Engine light is still on now. This will be my 7th trip to the dealer for this problem.

After a few starts the engine light has gone off. Second incident, from dead stop at a light and accelerating, same issue. Engine light goes off again. This has now occurred 4 times within 2 months and is a safety hazard considering the fact that your speed drops down out of no where and can potentially cause a serious accidents, causing harm to car a drivers, especially behind you, them not being aware that you are suddenly about to drop speed without brake lights!
While driving the lights on the instrument cluster, radio, ac and lights shut off as well as loss of power steering and engine shut off. Including the brakes, accelerator, and all electrical system. Leaving me with absolute no control over the vehicle. I noticed the ignition key had slipped into the forward off position while the vehicle was in motion, creating a deadly hazard as it results in loss of all functionality of the vehicle. When i tried to restart the vehicle, my vehicle will not start up right away has to turn the key couple of times to get my vehicle started.
I was driving to the work, a semi truck wasfront of my jeep,it was a stop sign and the semi truck was stopping and i was slowing down to stop, but my jeep didn't slow down. Even i was pressing the brake, didn't stop on time and i crashed to the semi truck. Luckily, didn't give any damage tothe semi truck , but my jeepend up total lost.after i got this recall from mail, i realize , the accident wasn't my fault, the jeep had a factory defected. I need some one to answer this for me. Because i lost my jeep and got another car to go to work. Till now i was asking myself how i couldn't stop the jeep and it was only 15 to 20 miles an hours. Now i know it wasn't me.
Placed vehicle in reverse and it accelerated by itself, had tohit brakes and turn engine off to avoid accident, then when i parked vehicle and placed in park it did it again.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle went into limp mode. The traction control light and the esp light illuminated on the instrument panel during the failure. The vehicle's speed then decreased from 30 to 5 mph. The contact maneuvered the vehicle to the shoulder and shut it off. Upon restart, the vehicle operated as normal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the throttle body was dirty and needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 98,350.
My jeep at times lurches when taking off from a stopped position before it will drive normally. At times when slowing down and not coming to a complete stop the rpms will jump and not go down causing the vehicle to not continue to go forward.i have to pull over and turn ignition off, turn back on and go. This is very dangerous, especially if trying to get on highway or in traffic on a city street.
I began to notice some unexplained acceleration and deceleration. While driving, when the vehicle should downshift, i could feel a bump and noticeable hesitation. That gradually worsened to become major fluctuations in the rpm while both accelerating and decelerating. For instance, while steadily engaging the gas pedal to accelerate, the vehicle sometimes feels jumpy, does not accelerate smoothly, and if you look at the rpm's they jump up and down by 500 - 1000 rpms. Also, while coasting to a stop, when i am not braking but just allowing the vehicle to roll to the stop from say 45 mph, the same jumping occurs with the rpms. This sometimes causes the car to lurch forward if the rpms flare at a near stop, and once, as i was pulling out of my driveway, i stopped at the bottom of the drive but the engine flared and pushed the car out onto the roadway by about a foot.eventually, this rpm issue began causing stalling. When i would stop at a traffic light, the engine would jump, and then the rpms would drop to zero and the engine would stall. Sometimes after just a few attempts i could restart. Twice i needed towed. My regular mechanic was able to replicate the stalling and saw and felt the rpm flares. He found no mechanical issues and suggested it was a computer issue and directed me to a dealership. 2 dealerships could find nothing wrong and sent me away with no fix. So, my regular mechanic did a computer reset which seemed to solve the problem temporarily. Reset was at 66,000 miles. Now at 72,300, problem is again becoming pronounced. I am getting nowhere with the dealerships and i'm honestly frightened driving this car. I cannot trust the car to accelerate or decelerate properly and i can't be sure the engine won't stall in traffic.
Car accelerated rapidly on four separate occasions without touching accelerator.despite pressing hard on brake pedal, car engine sped up and spun two wheels making black tire marks on pavement.now at dealer for diagnosis.
I was pulling into a space to park, was coasting into spot did not have my foot on the gas.my car made a loud noise and shot forward -up over a curb and through a wooded area until i hit a trailer.prior to this happening my gauges in my car were all flicking on and off on my dashboard.i reported the incident to my insurance company and had the body work done.the insurance company will not cover the cause of the accident only the accident itself.my insurance company sent one of their appraisers over to the body shop at the dealership where i purchased the car and had the work done and was told that the same incident happened to one of the guys that worked at the body shop while he was pulling my car back into one of their garages.i am supposed to pick up my car because the body work is complete but i am afraid to drive the car again and feel that this is a major safety concern.i purchased my car from this dealership 3 years ago, it was used when i bought it.do i have any rights as far as having them test and repair the car at their expense?
Dt*:the contact stated the vehicle intermittently lurched forward when the brake pedal was depressed.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection; however, the problem could not be duplicated.on 04/13/2006 the contact could not stop at a red light with foot on brake.
Ok i'm fully aware my vehicle is under 3 recalls well technically speaking 2 cause ones a recall on the recall waiting for that recall to be recalled. This whole process is insane my vehicle has turned off while driving has unparked itself shifted on its own had the lights flicker i have even been pulled over mutiple times for these problems twice when the jeep decided it was gonna stop accelerating 3 times because the lights start flickering sometime just inside sometimes just the outside and most recently all the lights just stopped working vehicle still running made it about 10 feet after the lights went out and sure enough before i could even pull of tbe road blue lights i've had the vehicle less then 60 days it's stalled while sitting still it's stalled while driving it's shut off while idle and while driving. Its shifted on its own while driving and idle most recently i was checking the transmission fluid with the car in park in my driveway the support arms are dead so i used my handy dandy block o wood to hold it open well i pull the dipstick from the transmisson it was a little low so i turn around to grab my funnel and a bottle of fluid and i before i can even turn all the way around my parked car is rolling towards me and so i didnt get pinned between my jeep and my shed i tired to step into the vehicle to prevent my legs from getting stuck well i'm pretty tall and my head hit he hood witch lifted it slightly and my block o wood fell out witch lead to the hood pushing my face into the running car luckily a busted flip and a slight burn to my neck was all that happened now i understand that a block o wood is not standard safety equipment and i understand that a car rolling in netural a couple feet will more then likely not pin anyone but all i knew was the parked car was moving i didn't know if it was gonna speed up or what i need more room
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly shut off. The contact also indicated that the speedometer did not function. While depressing the brake pedal, the brakes malfunctioned and the vehicle would not stop. The cause of the failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system) was received in september of 2015. After contacting the dealer on multiple occasions, the contact was informed that the parts needed to repair the vehicle were still not available and no estimated time for receiving the parts could be given. The failure mileage was 70,000.
After filling the gas tank of my 2005 jeep grand cherokee 5.7 liter hemi i accelerated onto the interstate and the car began to decelerate and all the information lights came on and began to flicker on and off as well as the headlights.vehicle then proceeded to drive normally with check engine light on but not pulsating. Dealer next day could not look at it as i did not have an appointment. After several stops and turning engine off the check engine light went out.several days late the information gauge lights flashed and received a code message to service electric brake system.then they recycled and has been clear since.
Dt*:the contact stated while changing the gear from drive to reverse there was a clicking noise.this occurred intermittently.while attempting to apply pressure to the accelerator pedal the engine made a roaring noise and the vehicle failed to pick up speed.the dealership rebuilt the transmission, however no other repairs have been made.the manufacturer has been alerted.updated 6/27/2006 - the vehicle battery would not hold a charge.the headliner had to be replaced because it was unraveling..the sunroof motor had to be replaced.the transmission was rebuilt on 2-27-06 with on 90000 miles.the memory seat did not move back at times when the key was removed from the ignition.the tire pressure monitoring system was inoperative.the power steering pump was binding and had to be replaced.the air bag light illuminated on the dash.the rear windshield wipers were not flush with the windshield.
Dt*: the contact stated in april 2006, the vehicle accelerated on its own nearly causing an accident.the service dealer determined the computer system that runs the transmission was the problem.the computer issue allowed the transmission to leak improperly.also, in october 2006 the vehicle stalled at 30 mph due to all the electric in the vehicle failing.
Dt*:the contact stated while applying brake pressure at various speeds, the engine intermittently revved and lurched forward without warning.the vehicle was inspected by a dealer who performed a diagnostic test.the diagnostic test did not produce a failure code.the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.the manufacturer was alerted.
Repeated accident's of my vehicle going from idle (1000 rpm) to 1500-2000 rpm while vehicle stopped and in gear. Requires significant effort to prevent vehicle from surging ahead. Has occurred when vehicle is entering street from driveway, at a pedestrian crosswalk and at a traffic light. Local dealer placed monitor incar and it recorded four instances in a month. Damiler-chrysler engineering claims no vehicle problem, driver is supposedly stepping on both accelerator and brake. This is not correct, both driver in our family have experienced problem. Car is unsafe.
2005 grand cherokee ltd, 4.7 litre engine. When stopped at a light the car suddenly accelerated.
I was parked in a parking lot with the engine idling and the jeep in park, with the emergency brake engaged.after approximately 5 minutes, the engine suddenly revved up and my jeep surged forward, striking the car parked directly in front of me.i pressed hard on the brake and the jeep surged forward again before the engine died and the jeep stopped.the e-brake was still engaged, but the gear, which had been in park, was now in drive.at no time did i come into contact with the gear shifter.
Dt:the caller statedtwice when he starte dvehicle and put it into gear vehicle accelerated. The first timewa sonjuly 14, 2005 while sitting on the side of road with a friend, and the second time he w on july 16, 2005 on a driveway. Vehicle did not respond to gas pedal.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee started acting up about a year after i purchased it and has progressively gotten worse and worse. It has problems shifting and identifying what gear it is in on a daily basis, for example when i put it in drive from park prnd will all be illuminated like it doesn't know what gear it is in and it will make a loud thud sound. Then when you drive it won't shift from first gear and will rev up or it will get stuck in 3rd gear and won't down shift. Sometimes it will be driving normal and when i stop at a stop sign and then go to pull out into traffic it will stall right in the middle of traffic and i can't get it to snap out of it! it will also decide that it doesn't know what gear it is in while i am driving on the expressway and will start to rev up and freeze on me. This is very unsettling and dangerous and could defiantly cause a serious accident. From what i have read in other reviews many people have this same problem with their 2005 jeep grand cherokee so it doesn't seem like just a coincidence to me and something should be done. I have taken it to different mechanics and no one can give me an answer as to whats wrong or how to fix it.
My vehicle has, on multiple and separate occasions, spontaneously accelerated. Thankfully no one and nothing has been hurt yet because i had time to throw it into neutral and stand on the brake, but it's a matter of time.someone will get killed if thisissue isn't fixed soon as i assume there are tons of these on the road.
While rounding a corner husbands knee bumped into ignition switch, car shut down. Received recall notice in sept. 2014 and have contacted local jeep dealer several times, still no parts to fix this problem. We are following suggested handling of key fob, only the key in ignition. The danger became very present to us last night as we had just gotten off the highway where we were driving at speeds of 65 mph. This would have had a vastly different outcome going that fast. How long is it going to take before this fix takes place? we don't want to die!! had i been driving instead of my husband i would have surely panicked and wouldn't be sitting here writing you now. Chrysler needs to get moving on this before we encounter a dreaded accident.
It has happened on several occasions now; however, the first time my truck completely shut off, i was driving ~35mph then slowed down a bit to turn and suddenly had no power. It started back up with out issue, but it was terrifying, as i was in the middle of an intersection.most recently, i was driving with my wife and kids in the truck and a similar incident occurred. I was driving ~25 mph when the engine just shut off. Again, it started on the first attempt.
A few weeks/months after the purchase of my jeep about 2 years ago, i noticed that my cruise control had stopped working and the abs light had come. I checked my fuses and relays and they were ok. Then a day or so later i was driving on the interstate and my check engine light and my brake lights came on. My jeep then seemed to downshifted itself. It felt as if the transmission had locked up, it slowed to about 30mph and would not shift onto another gear.i pulled over killed the motor. After a few attempts to drive it, i turned the key over and noticed the break and engine lights were off so i attempted to drive home and was sucessfull. This started to happen more and more often. I noticed that it mainly happened when either i was running my ac or it was wet/raining outside. I then started researching jeep problems and recalls. I came across the daminoncrysler recall no. 13. The recall had described the issue i was having, so i researched my vin and it staled that the recall no. 13 has already been completed on jeep. Now my jeep is stuck in limp mode and will not reset. It will not shift and the abs, brake and engine lights stay on. Is there a way to find out exactly what service did they did when it was recalled in 2005 (if any)? i dont know what to do
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 58 mph, the accelerator pedal was applied and traveled to the floorboard. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but it also traveled to the floorboard and failed to respond. The vehicle continued to accelerate forward and the rpms increased. The vehicle eventually came to a stop. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 161,679.
All the electrical stuff on my car flashes on and off or will just go completely blank for awhile while i'm driving this includes speedometer and all my lights and windshield wipers which is very much needed to drive safely it appears that the car shuts off but it continues to runand i've done research and it is my ignition switch i saw that there was a recall on it already and i called and they told me they wouldn't fix it i'm not sure how all of this works so i'm writing you guys for help. When it had first happened i was going about 60 mph down the highway in the rain in washington state i feel very unsafe in this vehicle now i can't take the chance of being on the freeway and this happening again in the rain the speedometer wasn't so scary but when your windshield wipers go out while it's raining and you're driving on the highway it's pretty scary and very unsafe for everyone. The video i have is another day it still continues to happen it was too risky to try and take videos of it the first time. So i guess i can't upload videos on here the picture it looks like i could be parked but i do have a video that i can send in to you guys if you provide me with an email
The contact owned a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While changing lanes at approximately 40 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. The brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond. As a result, the contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The manufacturer and the dealer were made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 73,000.
The air bags light comes on and stays on, the fuel system light comes on and stays on. When checked by mechanic was told some sort of sensor. The speed control does what it wants it can go from 45mph to 20mph and the vehicle tries to cut itself off i have to immediately put it in neutral to prevent that from happening.

Exact same scenario.... Traveling down the road, stopped at a light and car went into limp mode with the esp mode disabled lit up on the dash. Car was idling at just under 2k rpm and would not accelerate. Car normally idles at just under 1k rpm. With my foot on the brake the car wanted to drive forward, light turned green and let off the brake, i was doing 20mph without my foot on the gas. I pulled over and shut the car off, restarted and ran fine for a day. Next day i broke down 5 times coming home from work. Car would run fine and all of a sudden i would feel a power surge in acceleration and i knew it was coming, next stop light car would start to idle funny and light turns green, no power. No matter how hard i smashed the gas pedal, rpms would not move from just under 2k. I shut the car off, restarted and took off like normal. Im going to the dealer tomorrow to have it checked out and im taking statements from this page to show the dealer that there are many people having this problem and cannot fix it.. I am positive jeep knows about this problems and will not admit to it. Hey if we have enough people can any say "class action law suit"???? oh yeah remember i said i have video of this??? because everyone said dealer could not replicate the problem or figure it out? i also have a 15,000$ paper weight in my driveway that's worth no more than 400$ at the local scrap yard. I've had to many problems with this jeep and this is the last straw. Jeeps are junk, and remember "its a jeep thing", you wouldn't understand. Yeah they are right on that, i don't think anyone understands!!! i also have recorded video of this if anyone from jeep wants to contact me.
On dec. 21, 2008,while driving down ih-35, my 2005 jeep grand cherokee suddenly and uncontrollably started accelerating. I felt the pedal leave my foot, and pin to the floor. I tried tapping it a few times, then applied the brakes with no result. 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.
This is a 5.7 hemi engine with 62200 miles.i had driven into a 7-11 parking lot and almost came to a halt deciding whether to park on the right or left. Decided to park on the right.car was at around 2 miles per hour, lifted my leg off the accelerator to hit brake, when the car suddenly accelerated, climbed over the sidewalk, sliced and felled a tree and rammed into a laundromat.brake was applied to the point of literally standing on it with whole body weight but car did not respond.finally the car came to a halt although engine was making revving sounds for a few more seconds.luckily nobody was inside the laundromat.air bag did not deploy even though the front was badly damaged.police report was filed. Cop was also surprised air bag did not deploy for this hard a crash.the car has been owned by me since new for 7 years and this has never happened. Insurance sent a special technician to check, but nothing could be found.car is more than likely totaled at this point. Please do something about this, someone can get badly injured for life, or deaths can occur.
Exiting car wash jeep grand cherokee 2005 running and in neutral was put into drive and it accelerated out of the wash with no brakes , went through 2 parking lots and into park and pulled emergency brake to come to a stop.
While traveling at highway speed the electronic throttle control system of the vehicle completely failed placing the vehicle into limp mode as indicated by the flashing warning lights and the dashboard displayreading "esp disabled".the vehicle reduced speed drastically without driver input to do so.were it not for the awareness and capability of the driver following the vehicle, this drastic reduction in speed would have caused a vehicular collision on an incredibly busy main thoroughfare.the affected vehicle suffered a complete loss of throttle control and the engine stayed at approximately 2000 rpm's regardless of driver input to the throttle pedal.maximum speed dropped to no more than 15 mph. Stopping the vehicle completely at traffic control devices was difficult due to the constant high rpm the engine was maintaining.the vehicle was taken to the service department of the nearest jeep/chrystler/dodge dealership where it was troubleshot. The electronic throttle body was replaced consequent of the diagnostic check ran on the vehicle.the next 30 miles driven in vehicle were uneventful.the next day the exact same malfuntion occured again, albeit on a not so busy road (thankfully).conversations with the service departmentreveal no confidence inspiring trouble shooting and/or repair procedure for what is apparently aknown problem for many products across the corporate line, spanning many model yeas and generations.basically, it was stated that they are aware of the issue but are unsure of what causes it or how to remedy the malfunction.the vehicle is now parked useless in owners driveway until a solution is found and the vehicle can be safely driven again.

In rush hour traffic, the car would lose power everytime the car came to a stop or idled. 3 days later, the car lost power in speed limit traffic after going over the railroad tracks. Since then, it loses power at every stop. If i am not aware, the car rolls into oncoming traffic! i took the car to my nearest dealer. They confirmed that it was the ignition switch that has been recalled and a part hasn't been sent to dealers. I called chrysler and all they did was put me on a list! they apologized for me not having a car to drive and that was it! they would not provide me with a timeline of when the part would be ready. They refused to provide me with a loaner vehicle while it was off the road. I have lost my mode of transportation unless i want to risk my and my family's life, and they say there is nothing they can do even though they are at fault!
I have called several times and chrysler cannot tell me when this part for the recall p41 will be replaced. Please note no accident has occurred but i think its criminal that they cannot give me a time when this will be replaced!!!
When i was driving my 2005 grand cherokee, the vehicle turned itself off causing me to lose braking and steering power. The ignition recall is what is going on however chrysler/jeep does not have the parts to fix the problem nor are the offering any possible solutions. They are refusing a rental car due to the issue not being life threatening. However, having a vehicle shut itself off while driving is very life threatening to myself, passengers in the vehicle and innocent bystanders around me on the road. I am highly dissatisfied with chrysler.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While the cruise control was engaged at approximately 70 mph, the vehicle erroneously accelerated to speeds above 90 mph.

The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 245,247.
Electronic shifter module had gone out. Park reverse neutral in and drive are the only functions available. To downshift from drive fourth, third, second, and first have lost all ability.primarily the driving of the vehicle is through the streets of san francisco and the ability to downshift is necessary to avoid collision and to climb the steep hills. Not only for myself, but for anybody else with this problem for example: driving to an exit ramp from speeds of 65 and needing to decelerate to 25 would be very difficult and major where on the brake system. Now for climbing the hills of san francisco in a high gear puts a major stress on the transmission. Please take into consideration that the electronic shifter module should be recalled for safety . This vehicle has already been recalled for an ignition and has been replaced but i received several notices from jeep starting out as simple and is nicely put his please see your service dealership there is a recall and to the extreme of receiving noticesthat said your vehicle has a recall and you are putting other peoples lives in danger by neglecting to have it fixed.i have done my homework and the ignition and was told from a dealership that it was not necessary since i only use the keywith no keychain.i have also done my homework on the electronic shifter module and there are many people who have made videos or testimonies about their jeeps having the problem of the ability not to downshift through the electronic shifter module. In the past 12 years i pray that there has been no accidents in direct relation to this electronic shifter module but if you're a driver you know that every gear on the vehicle is there for a reason and rely on the safety of the vehicle.
I own a car wash in belvidere, iland on 4-6-08, we had a customer bring their 2005 jeep cherokee in, we put it in out tunnel and ran it through our automatic wash in neutral, and at the end of the tunnel a driver got in, put the jeep in park..started it, and the jeep took off racing down a ditch and onto a major street.the vehicle came to a stop when the driver crashed it into a cement light pole.the jeep is totaled, and there were no injuries, but it came close to running over four customers that were standing, waiting for their cars to be done.this is the second time this has happened with this same jeep an another wash facility.this is the second one we have had at out site in two years.help!!
We have a safety issue with the adjustable gas pedal in our company car a 2005 jeep.the problem is that the pedal adjustment has no indicator that lets you know that the pedal has been moved by another employee.recently we had an event were an employee drove the car a long distance and did not know that the jeep had an adjustable pedal.the employee complained that his foot cramped during the 300 mile trip and he did not know why.he was not aware of the adjustable pedal feature of the jeep since there was no indicator light or gauge to let him know that the pedal had been set for a much shorter person.the employee also complained that during this trip he found himself driving faster than the speed limit and had to use cruise control to maintain his speed...again he was not aware that the pedal had been moved closer to the driver and his normal position of his foot pushed the pedal down more then normal.
During the last time that i have used my 2005 jeep cherokee, the accelerator got stuck, the vehicle accelerated from a speed of about 55 to 90 to 100 before i could stop the vehicle this occurred several times.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, the cruise control failed to function and the instrument panel failed. The failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be replaced however, the part to do the repair was unavailable.the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unavailable. Parts distribution disconnect. Updated 02/26/16*lj
While driving the entire electrical system fails; lights start flashing, heat goes out, all system warning lights flash ( brakes, tire pressure, service 4 wheel drive system, check engine light comes on),i was able to continue to drive the car but the lights flashed continuously for approximately 15 miles.this has happened multiple times since i purchased the suvjune 2005.the dealership runs test by say they cannot find anything wrong.i have read on the internet that this is happening to many owners of the 2005 jeep grand cherokee and the dealers and mechanics at the dealership cannot find anything wrong. This is a dangerous situation as many people also loose power and the suv shift into low gear.i am afraid to drive my jeep now because the check engine light keeps coming on and off.i am going back to the dealership again for some more stupid "i did not find anything wrong" statements. Originally i was told it was because i had a remote starter so i has it disconnected and the problem still exists.
The passenger side window on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo will not roll up (after dropping down into the door on the highway).
On a cold day, my husband was sitting in his 2005 jeep grand cherokee with the defrosters on. He heard a pop and saw the windshield crack from left to right.the car was not moving and nothing had hit the windshield.there had not been a chip or crack before this happened.the windshield cracked for no apparent reason.i called chrysler to report the incident.the service rep told me that the same thing had happened to her.i was told to take it to a jeep dealership to have it looked at, which i did.after 6 days of giving me the runaround, chrysler said that they will not pay to have it repaired because it is out of warranty.i looked on the internet and saw that other people have had the same problem.the dealership told me that they had just had a jeep with the same problem the previous week.a second service rep at chrysler had told me that she had the same problem.it obviously was not an isolated incident.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 35 mph through an intersection on normal road conditions, the engine stalled and could not be restarted.there were no warning lights prior to the incident.the vehicle was towed to the dealership, who diagnosed a fuel pump and fuel injection pump failure, both were replaced.after this incident, the vehicle presented transmission problems.the contact noticed a loss of power while driving 65 mph on a highway.intermittently, the transmission made noise when shifted to second gear.the vehicle had been taken to the dealership 20 times, however no error codes identified the defect.in one of the incidents, the yellow malfunction light illuminated and the dealership identified the defect as the computer control module and the driver shaft, both were replaced, however the transmission problem persisted.the dealership determined the vehicle could not be repaired.the manufacturer was contacted who recommended to take the vehicle to a different dealership. The vehicle was not downshifting when going up hills and it would get stuck in second or third gear. The a/c and blower motor were inoperative, the dealer could not duplicate the consumers concern. The key became stuck in the ignition. All the dashboard lights were flashing, the cd player was broke. The brakes and rotors vibrated. The starter was replaced. The driveshaft and heater were replaced. The seats would not move back. The seat belts did not retract as they should. Updated 01/17/07. Updated
I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that has 4 interior door handles broken. To get out of my car i have to roll down my window, open my door and then open the rest of the doors for my 3 kids. This is a scary situation in case i am involved in an accident and there is a fire. If my jeep turns off how am i supposed to roll down the electrical window and escape out of my car. Our safety is in great danger because of defective door handles that are not even forced and break off so easily. Another problem i have with my jeep is that when i start it and start driving, the electrical brake system light, the engine light, the abs light and some other light turn on. After the lights turn, the speedometer will no longer work, i can't see how many miles per hour i am driving. I have to turn of the jeep, restart it and that will make the speedometer work but the engine light will not go off. In a couple of occasions i have come to make a complete stop with the vehicle and all of a sudden it will turn off dead. I have to put the vehicle in park and restart it again.
Electronic equipment shuts off. The engine stays operational. Affected equipment includes a/c, lights (both interior/exterior), wipers, airbags, locks, windows, and dash gauges/components. The electronic equipment is non-responsive, which could result in death or serious injury.
My airbag light has come on and it, has me scare of what might happenand my truck drives like it has a transmission problem. It takes a while changing gearmy steering wheel make a loud clicking sound as i turn.. While driving turning.there are so many problems with this truck from day one..

Interior door handles are defective. The plastic surrounding the interior door handles has become brittle and broken allowing pieces to fall inside the door. This breakage has rendered the door handles inoperative and prevents the door from being opened from the inside. In the event of an accident the occupants of the vehicle would be trapped inside, especially if the power windows also became inoperative.

The sunroof/moonroof does not set appropriately when closed and causes water leak and subsequent water damages.
