INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE THE DRIVERS DOOR HAS 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 OF REPAIRING IS WRITTEN AT $770. PLUS TAX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE.

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. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH AN DRIVERS DOOR INSIDE HANDLE BROKEN WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW SAFE EXIT FROM VEHICLE. *TR

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS HAD CONTINUOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE LIGHT COMING 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. *TR

RUBBER/PLASTIC PIECE THAT RIDES ALONG WHEN SHIFTING BECAME BUNCHED UP AND COULDN'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!!!!!! *TR

2 OF THE 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF AND ARE UNUSABLE; THE OTHER TWO ARE CRACKED AND APPEAR TO BE BREAKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS BEGAN FLICKERING ABNORMALLY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE COMPUTER CHIP IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE FAILURE YET THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE YET THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

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. *TR

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 LIFE JEOPARDIZED. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING OF HEAVY USE OR DUE TO BEHAVIOR 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. *TR

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. *TR

TLA* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY SURGED FORWARD CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.

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. *TR

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. *TR

MY DAUGHTER'S 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR GOING 90MPH. SHE WAS SENT AIRBORNE, FLIPPED END OVER END & ROLLED ON THE SIDE BEFORE COMING TO REST UPRIGHT. THE FRONT OF HER JEEP WAS GONE BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WE WERE TOLD BY THE WRECKER SERVICE THAT THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SHE HIT HER HEAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND STEERING WHEEL DURING THE ROLL. HERE EAR ALSO HIT THE WHEEL AND WAS CUT BY THE GLASS FROM THE WINDSHIELDS/WINDOWS. WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER BUT WERE TOLD THAT THE BAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. WHEN THE CAR NOSE DIVED INTO THE EMBANKMENT AFTER BEING AIRBORNE AND FLIPPED OVER, I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED THE AIRBAGS. *TR

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. *TR

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

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.

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. *TR

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4.7 V8. DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKER BETWEEN THE REGULAR SETTING AND DIM. THIS HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS TO A YEAR. *TR

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 TRUCK IF 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. *TR

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD 2005- WE HAVE 4 DRIVERS IN OUR FAMILY 2 ADULTS AND 2 TEENAGERS. OUR JEEP WILL SUDDENLY CUT OUT AND TURN OFF WHILE WE ARE ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 PLUS SPEEDS THE CAR JUST DIES EVERYTHING JUST LOCKS OFF AND THE CAR IS JUST DEAD. IT HAS HAPPENED OVER 6 TIMES. YOU ARE ON A FREEWAY AND SOMEHOW HAVE TO MANEUVER OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. ITS VERY SCARY. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES MY HUSBAND ONCE AND MY DAUGHTER ONCE. THE CAR ALSO DOESN'T START RIGHT AWAY ONCE YOU ARE ON THE SHOULDER. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NO RHYME OR REASON AND NO WARNING I HAVE READ OTHER JEEPS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

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 ON THE 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: 05V396000 SUMMARY: 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. *TR

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS EXPERIENCED SUDDEN UNEXPECTED THROTTLE SURGE. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE RESULTED SO FAR. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AND NOW FRIENDS WITH THE SAME MODEL CAR BUT DIFFERENT YEARS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE SAME. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TO WORK SATURDAY MARCH 6 I NOTICE THAT THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD BLINK EVERY ONCE IN THE WHILE, I WAS DRIVING ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY IN NEW JERSEY @65 MILES HOUR,IT WAS A VERY SCARE EXPERIENCE SINCE I DID NOT KNOWN IF THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OUT AND I WOULD LOOSE STEERING AND BREAKING , AND AFTER ALL THE TOYOTA PROBLEMS I WAS ALMOST IN PANIC. PLEASE LET ME KNOWN IF THERE IS ANY OTHER COMPLAINS LIKE MINE , SINCE THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR THIS KIND OF A PROBLEM ON YOUR WEB SITE. [XXX] *TR

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? *TR

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. *TR

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 CHEVOLET THAT HE SAW A JEEP JUST LIKE MINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, THE HANDLES BROKEN. I WILL BE REP

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. *TR

BLENDER DOOR ON HEAT/AIR BROKEN AFTER ONLY 50,000... *CN

WHEN IT GOES BELOW 20 DEGREES F, THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSES SOMEONE SITTING IN IT WHEN THERE IS NO ONE THERE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT LIGHTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT LIGHTS. IF I PUSH DOWN AND RELEASE THE SEAT CUSHION, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF, THEN THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT GOES OFF. IN 30 SECONDS, IT ALL COMES BACK ON AND STARTS DINGING THE ALARM AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT MY JEEP/DODGE DEALER DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO HELP. *TR

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. *TR

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.

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. *TR
