"UNINTENDED POWER ROLL-AWAY IN REVERSE AFTER PARKING JEEP GRANDE CHEROKEE" 6CLY. VEHICLE ENGINE RUNNING AND IN PARK. DRIVER OPENED DOOR TO EXIT AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO TRAVEL BACKWARD UNDER POWER OF ENGINE ON LEVEL SURFACE. THE OPEN DOOR KNOCKED DRIVER DOWN ON FLAT CONCRETE CARPORT AND LEFT FRONT WHEEL RAN OVER DRIVER IN THE PROCESS. 76 YR OLD WOMAN - BREAKING HER LEGS AND HEAD INJURY. THE EVENT WAS WITNESSED BY HUSBAND WHO JUMPED IN CAR TO STOP IT BY CUTTING ENGINE OFF AND RETURNING SHIFT LEVER TO PARK. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON FLAT CONCRETE CAR PORT OF HOME. MY RESEARCH TOOK ME TO NHTSA ODI RESUME EA0-017 OPENED 11-1-01. VEHICLE WAS IN RECALL UNTIL 2004 FOR THE VERY PROBLEM DESCRIBE ABOVE.

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. *TR

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.

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.

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.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WITH 3.7 LITER MOTOR SHOWS ALL FOUR GEARS PARK NEUTRAL REVERSE AND DRIVE "PRND" ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE CHECK ENGINE OBDII CODE U0103 (CAN BUS COMMUNICATION LOST WITH THE SHIFTER). THIS CONDITION REOCCURS EVERY 1 TO 7 DAYS APPROXIMATELY. WHILE IN THIS MODE THE VEHICLE IS IN LIMP MODE STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE WITH THIS CONDITION ON BACK ROADS BUT IT WILL CLEAR AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MILES IN LIMP MODE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WITH THIS CONDITION PRESENT. IT CLEARED WHILE THEY WERE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO REPEAT WHILE DRIVING IT WITH MY PERMISSION FOR THREE WEEKS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK AFTER THREE WEEKS AT DEALESHIP AND PROBLEM REOCCURRED AFTER TWO DAYS OF DRIVING. TRYING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU CANNOT EXCEED ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR CAUSING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON ROADS WITH SPEED LIMITS HIGHER THAN 30 MPH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME I AM STUCK WITH A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE

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

"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.

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.

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 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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

ON 04/23/2016 I TOOK MY VEHICLE FOR A RECALL, P41 / NHTSA 14V-438 TODAY 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.

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.
