2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

I STOP THE TRANSMISSION START LIKE SLIDE AND THEN 3 TO FOUR MINUTES A 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 INSIDE PLASTIC AROUND ALL DOOR HANDLES IS CRACKED AND BROKEN. I'M FINDING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND CAN BE DANGEROUS AS IT EFFECTS THE HANDLES AND BEING ABLE TO GET OUT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. I, MYSELF, HAVE PROBLEMS OPENING THE BACK DOORS. AND NOW THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLE IS ABOUT TO BREAK

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (DE COZEN CHRYSLER/JEEP IN VERONA, NJ) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,000.

VEHICLE WAS ACTING LIKE THERE WAS A FLAT TIRE. THE ENGINE STOPPED AND WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO A MECHANIC. DIAGNOSED WITH COMPRESSION COMING BACK TO INTAKE. RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE ENGINE. SAID COULD BE DROPPED VALVE SEAT.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER NOTICED SMOKE, SMELLED A BURNING ODOR, AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A COVER LEAK AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 32168861. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,352.

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!'

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

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

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

TRANSFER CASE MALFUNCTION PART IS UNAVAILABLE TO BUY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD COMPLAINT FOR MY MAKE MODEL VEHICLE. SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM SHOWS UP IN THE COMPUTER SCREEN TO WARN YOU OF THE PROBLEM VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW. APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY GEARING OR ELECTRICAL TRANSFER MOTOR

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 NOTICES THAT 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 KEY WITH 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

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!'

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WITHIN LESS THAN 30 DAYS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, WESTPORT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2601 HART ST, VINCENNES, IN 47591, (812) 291-5182) MADE NO MENTION OF THE PARTS AND THE REMEDY TO SCHEDULE A RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

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 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.

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

THE INTERIOR 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND THE SPEED INCREASED TO 80 MPH. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A UTILITY POLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, LEFT ARM, AND LEFT FOOT, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000. ...UPDATED 07/10/17 *BF ..UPDATED 07/13/17 *BF *CN *JS

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 SAF

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT GO INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WHENEVER THE "SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE WAS "FLASHED". THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ORDERED THE DEALER TO RECHECK THE REMEDY. THE DEALER WANTED TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION, BUT NOT FOR FREE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

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.

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CRACKING AND BREAKING NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM INSIDE THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT STILL BREAK. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

IGNITION SWITCH IT HAS HARD TIME STARTING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN AND REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL REPAIR, THE IGNITION FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE CHIP IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION IN ORDER FOR THE IGNITION TO RECOGNIZE THE KEY AND START THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,400.

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

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.

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 SHOULD BE FIXED.

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

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 AND TOOK 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 JEEP USED AND DON'T KNOW IT THIS WAS HAPPENING BEFOREHAND. *HAVE A VIDEO BUT THIS SITE WON'T UPLOAD IT.

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.

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

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 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.

TAKATA RECALL DEFECTIVE/FAULTY AIR BAGS. AIR BAG LIGHT RANDOMLY GOES ON AND OFF, ACTIVATING OR TURNING OFF THE AIRBAGS

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME A FEE FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE READ ON MULTIPLE SITES THAT THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH MY SPECIFIC MODEL AND YEAR. JEEP WANTS TO CHARGE ITS CUSTOMERS A FEE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN A SAFETY FUNCTION THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD SAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.

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. *TR
