2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

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

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

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 THIS ISSUE ISN'T FIXED SOON AS I ASSUME THERE ARE TONS OF THESE ON THE ROAD.

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

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.

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.?

PROBLEM WITH INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND AC COMING ON WITH TURNING ON IGNITION OR STARTING THE VEHICLE. IGNITION WAS REPLACED A YEAR PLUS AGO UNDER THE RECALL.

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

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!!

DOOR HANDLES BROKEN DRIVER SIDE AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE ALSO BROKEN. PLASTIC BROKEN THAT HOLD HANDLE IN PLACE.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION SWITCH SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN THE STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WENT OFF THE ROAD AND ABOUT 15 FEET NOSE FIRST INTO A GULLY. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER STATED A RECALL WAS LATER RELEASED THAT APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. *JS

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.

MY 38K MILE DRIVER JEEP DOOR HANDLE PANEL SHATTERED AND INJURED MY HAND.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY FLASHING AND RENDERING CRUISE CONTROL USELESS. EVERYTHING WORK AS NECESSARY, THEN ONE DAY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GET ON HIGHWAY, I PRESSED CRUISE CONTROL ONLY FOR IT TO FLASH IN THE DASH PANEL, THEN DISAPPEAR. ONCE OFF THE HIGHWAY TO MY DESTINATION, I TURNED THE GRAND CHEROKEE OFF. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES THEN SHUT OFF. DURING THE TIME OF THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON, I WAS ABLE TO PRESS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HAVE IT STAY ON THE DASH PANEL, BUT I STILL HAD NO USE OF IT. ONCE THE AIR BAG LIGHT SHUT OFF, I THEN PRESSED CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN JUST FOR IT TO FLASH ON THEN BACK OFF. NOW THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING OR STAYS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING USED. MY JEEP JUST PASSED 125,000 MILES. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO SUCHA LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE FOR THE AGE.. WHO WILL FIX THIS MESS?

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 AND THROUGH 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

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

REAR SUPPORT BEAMS SPLITTING WELDS

TRANSMISSION STUCK IN 3RD GEAR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH

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

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

PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON.

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.

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

1. DOOR HANDLES BROKEN ON 3 DOORS 2. 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.

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. THE JEEP WAS A BIGGEST LEMON EVER. 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 PURCHASED A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON 10/14/2017 AND ON 10/20/2017 ON MY WAY FROM DROPING MY 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 RECALL INVOLVES 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 DANGER WEB SITE. **SEE ALSO 11053735**

ON10-20-2017 DROP MY BADY OFF ON THE EAST SIDE OF ST PAUL ON THE WAY BACK TO THE HOUSE THIS CAR JUST STARTED ON FIRE JUST PURCHASED ON 10-14-2017 6DAYS I DONT KNOW IF THE DEALER KNEW SOMETHING AND DID NOT TELL ME. I PAID 5,000 FOR A CAR THAT BURN UP IN SIX DAYS IAM JUST TRYING TO GET A CAR OR MY MONEY BACK. **SEE ALSO 11055233**

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

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.

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.
