2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THE DOOR HANDLE CRACKED THE DOOR PANEL AND RELEASED THE DOOR HANDLE FROM THE DOOR LEAVING IT UNUSABLE AND THE DOOR UNABLE TO BE EXITED. WAS ATTEMPTING TO FLEA VEHICLE AND WAS TRAPPED INSIDE DUE TO WEAK PLASTIC FAILING IN THE DOOR HANDLE. IN THE EVENT THERE WAS A FIRE OR EVEN TOXIC GAS IN THE CAR CABIN, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS JEEP IN MARCH ON 2012 , THEN FEW MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT STOPPED LATCHING UNLESS I DEPRESSED IT TO MAKE IT LATCH THEN A MONTH OR SO LATER THE PASSENGERS SEAT BELT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. BUT SINCE THEN THE SEAT BELT CHIME STARTED GOING OFF AND THE SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE DASH STARTED STAYING ON TOO. AT FIRST YOU COULD UNBUCKLE THE PASSENGERS SEAT BELT AND REBUCKLE AND IT WOULD STOP BUT NOW IF SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT IT DOESN'T STOP. NOW IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT OR NOT, IT WILL COME ON WITH JUST THE DRIVER IN THE SEAT AND I ALWAYS BUCKLE UP. THE CHIME WILL KEEP GOING OFF FOR A LONG TIME BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY STOP FOR AWHILE BUT THE SEAT BELT LIGHT WILL STAY ON BUT IF I STOP AT A LIGHT AND START GOING AGAIN IT WILL START CHIMING AGAIN. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND THE LATCHES IS AGGRAVATING TO HAVE TO DEPRESS THEM TO LATCH THEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES ,. I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ONE UNTIL NOW AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM TILL YOUR OUT OF WARRANTY, THEN IT HAS TO COME OUT OF OUR POCKET. MINE IS STILL NOT FIXED... NOT HAPPY THIS IS MY 3RD JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TO OWN HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GET A 4TH ONE BUT IT MAY DEPEND ON HOW THIS IS HANDLED. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS SINCE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHIFTED GEARS AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL WHILE RPMS SHOT UP RAPIDLY TO 3,000. IT THEN SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD AND PICKED UP SPEED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A DAY OR SO, THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. IT WAS VERY SCARY TO HAVE IT CHANGE GEARS AND NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED AND SUDDENLY SPEED UP AGAIN WHILE TRAVELING WITH VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME AND BEHIND ME. YOU ESSENTIALLY HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN THAT MOMENT, NOR DO YOU HAVE ANY WARNING THAT IT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. DRIVERS AROUND YOU ALSO HAVE NO WARNING THAT YOUR CAR WILL SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN OR LUNGE FORWARD. MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE FOR IT TO WORK. HAPPENS AT ANY GIVEN TIME, WHETHER IM GOING 5 MPH OR 65 MPH.. EVEN ON HIGHWAYS. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE REAR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE. IT CRACKED AND THE PROBLEM NOW IS YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS $530 OR YOU CAN GET A KIT FOR $150. THE INSTALLATION IS $102. WHY WOULD THERE BE A KIT BEING PRODUCED IF THERE WASN'T A MAJOR PROBLEM? I SPOKE TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON THE 2005 AND 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. FROM WHAT I HEARD FROM FIELDS IN SANFORD THE DEALER THE MANUFACTURER SOLD INFERIOR PARTS. RIGHT NOW ONLY ONE DOOR IS BROKEN BUT I EXPECT IT WILL HAPPEN TO THE OTHER 3. THAT PARTICULAR DOOR IS RARELY USED SO IT WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT TO PARK AND THEN DRIVE IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE FAILURE MOMENTARILY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL, POWER TRAIN), HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS, BOTH THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WILL FLICKER AND THEN GO OFF. THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENS. MANY TIMES YOU CAN TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. BUT LATELY, THIS DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A JEEP DEALER TO FIX BUT SINCE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS IT HAS HAPPENED AT NIGHT ON A ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. IT ALSO MAKES THE CAR UNABLE TO BE SEEN BY OTHERS..... AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFT SOLENOID FAILED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN ONE YEAR. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SOLENOIDS SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 136,000. *TR

PURCHASED THE 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED (4.7L) NEW FROM DEALERSHIP. IT STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. MOST OF THE TIME WHILE TURNING. IT DOES IT PROBABLY ONCE EVERY TWO OR THREE MONTHS, WHICH MAKES IT NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLICATE AT THE DEALERSHIP. IN ADDITION, NO CODES ARE EVER TRIPPED, LEAVING NO PROOF OF AN EXISTING PROBLEM. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE YEARS WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIPS MAINTAINED THAT IF THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, LEAVING IT UNRESOLVED. THE JEEP NOW HAS OVER 100K ON IT (OUT OF WARRANTY) AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL. WHAT I FIND ODD, IS THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH JEEPS LIKE MINE OVER THE YEARS, BUT ON THE THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? *TR

SEQUENCE OF EVENTS: THIS HAS BEEN MY SONS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IN 2008. [XXX] WHO WAS AT COLLEGE IN GREENSBORO, NC. [XXX] PHONED ME ONE EVENING, APRIL 17, 2013 AND STATED THAT HIS JEEP WOULD NOT GO OUT OF 2ND GEAR AND ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AND NAMED THE ENGINE LIGHT?, ?BAS?, TRACTION CONTROL ETC. HE ALSO STATED THAT ?IT JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING AND STOPPING?. HE PARKED THE CAR AND MY HUSBAND/[XXX] CALLED COTTMAN TRANSMISSION IN GREENSBORO THE MORNING OF APRIL 18TH. WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING SHOWED ON THE DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY NEEDED TO TAKE OUT THE TRANSMISSION TO ASSESS. THE COST WOULD BE $450. AFTER TAKING OUT THE TRANSMISSION, WE WERE TOLD THAT IT NEEDED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. THEY PROCEEDED WITH THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND MY SON PICKED UP THE JEEP ON APRIL 24TH. I PAID $2,185.77. AS COTTMAN STATED THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE? WAS THE ORIGINAL CAUSE OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR ANY PART ON THIS JEEP, POSSIBLY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM CLOSED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) IN THE MAIL AND STATED THE DEALER INFORMED HER THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A DATE THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000. *TR

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL CRACKED WHERE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE DOOR AND THE HANDLE FALLS OFF, LEAVING THE REAR PASSENGER UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THIS OCCURS WITH NORMAL USE, NO ABNORMAL USE OR ABUSE. *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL CRACKED WHERE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE DOOR AND THE HANDLE FALLS OFF, LEAVING THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THIS OCCURS WITH NORMAL USE, NO ABNORMAL USE OR ABUSE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL CRACKED WHERE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE DOOR AND THE HANDLE FALLS OFF, LEAVING THE DRIVER UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THIS OCCURS WITH NORMAL USE, NO ABNORMAL USE OR ABUSE. *TR

ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR PANELS HAVE CRACKED AND BROKEN WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE DOOR. CONSEQUENTLY, THE DOOR HANDLES BECOME INOPERABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE PANEL WHERE THE CRACKING OCCURS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGERS ARE UNABLE TO EXIT QUICKLY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY AND MIGHT NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO EXIT AT ALL. CHRYSLER OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE, WHICH APPEARS TO OCCUR FREQUENTLY WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS NOW STARTED SPORADIC HEADLIGHT SERVICE. FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS I HAVE NOTICED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIMMING FOR NO APPARENT REASON BUT NOW THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ALSO CUTTING IN AND OUT. IT SEEMS THERE IS NO REAL SOLUTION FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SINCE IT IS VERY UNNERVING TO NOT HAVE HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR

ON THE DATE MENTIONED THE VEHICLE DESCRIBED BECAME LOCKED IN PLACE UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED INTO THE DEALER AND THE WORK PERFORMED . THIS INVOLVED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE. AT THE TIME I QUESTIONED THE POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THE INCIDENT AND RECEIVED NO ANSWER. THE TOTAL COST WAS IN EXCESS OF 3000 DOLLARS PAID BY ME. I HAVE SINCE (UPON CONDUCTING RESEARCH) LEARNED THAT THE CHRYSLER CORP. HAS RELUCTANTLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. IT WAS ISSUED IN MAY OF THIS YEAR. THE AGENCY REPORT SPECIFICALLY CHARACTERIZES THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFER CASE ISSUE. I MADE REPEATED CALLS TO THE CHRYSLER CORP. AND HAVE BEEN REBUFFED WITH THE EXPLANATION BEING "YOUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS ACTION." I FIND THIS INCREDULOUS. MY VEHICLE, A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ABSOLUTELY FALLS INTO THE RECALL CATEGORY. THE INVOICE (#[XXX]) I RECEIVED FROM WORLD JEEP WHERE THE REPAIR WORK WAS COMPLETED IDENTIFIES THE CAUSE AND REPAIR AS TRANSMISSION/TRANSFER CASE 2168CPDCA. THE CASE NUMBER I WAS GIVEN BY CHRYSLER CORP. IS IDENTIFIED UNDER # [XXX]. THE RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER UNDER YOUR AGENCY 13V175000. IT IS CARRIED BY CHRYSLER UNDER CAMPAIGN NUMBER N23. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE ARROGANCE OF A CORPORATION SUCH AS CHRYSLER IN LIGHT OF SUCH ABSOLUTE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY OF THEIR STANCE. I AM REQUESTING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. ANY DOCUMENTATION HERETOFORE MENTIONED CAN BE FORWARDED TO YOUR AGENCY IF NECESSARY. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 8/2012 FOR MY DAUGHTER TO GET TO COLLEGE. IT IS A 900 MILE TRIP AND WOULD BE USED FOR LOCAL CAMPUS DRIVING UNTIL HER RETURN IN 4/2013. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH THE HOPE OF GETTING 3 YEARS USE OUT OF IT. ON HER INITIAL TRIP DOWN ROUTE 95 SO. I RECEIVED A CALL AT 1 AM FROM HER IN SC TELLING ME THE CAR SHUT DOWN AT 70 MPH. THE WHEEL LOCKED UP AND SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND FORTUNATELY WITH THE HELP OF HER PASSENGER FORCED THE WHEEL TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER. THANK GOD A TRACTOR TRAILED WAS NOT BEHIND HER! I TOLD HER TO WAIT AND TRY TO START THE CAR. IT STARTED A HALF HOUR LATER. THIS EPISODE CONTINUED UNTIL SHE ARRIVED AT SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY. A 15 HOUR TRIP TOOK 21 HOURS. SHE WAS FRIGHTENED TO DEATH. WE CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE VALVE BODY OF THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WE REPLACED ($2100). AS IT TURNS OUT ON THE RETURN TRIP THE CAR TRANSMISSION WAS OVER HEATING AND THE SHUTTING DOWN SCENARIO CONTINUED. WE BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER HERE IN NJ AND THEY TOLD US THERE WAS PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT APART IN ORDER TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE. I FOUND OUT THROUGH MY LOCAL MECHANIC OF 20 YEARS THAT HE READ THE BULLETIN ON THE ENGINE PROBLEMS FROM CHRYSLER. IT SAID THE VALVES WERE NOT SHUTTING DOWN ALL THE WAY THUS CREATING CARBON IN THE HEADS AND STALLING THE ENGINES. I NEED ACTION FROM CHRYSLER AND IT SEEMS THE DEALERSHIPS DON'T CARE ABOUT SAFETY. THIS

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLICKERS CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SURGE EVEN ON INCLINE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEAR AT RANDOM TIMES AND TURNS OFF ON ITS OWN IT GIVES CODES U404 AND ANOTHER CODE WITCH I CANT RECALL OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. ACCELERATING FROM THE START WILL HESITATE AND FEEL LIMITED TO POWER .TRANSMISSION HARD SHIFTS AT TIME AND CLUNKS FORWARD WHEN DECELERATING THEN ACCELERATING . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SRS AIRBAG AND THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO REFUSED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,179.

AS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD SWITCH INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. I HAVE SEEN THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE OUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE (FOR WHATEVER REASON) BUT IT SHOULD. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED FURTHER. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF..I WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND LOST POWER...I WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT I WAS IN THREE LANES WIDE OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD I NOT BEEN IN THE LANE CLOSED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY INJURED. WITHIN THE TIME FRAME OF THREE WEEKS IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES...ALL WHEN I WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS EXCEPT ONCE THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN AND POWERED DOWN WHEN I WAS AT A STOP SIGN IN TOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMES AND GOES SO FAST BY THE TIME I CAN GET TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE IT SCANNED ITS USUALLY OFF. I WAS ABLE TO SCAN IT ONCE AND IT READ A CODE FOR "TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE"...THE CAR RUNS GREAT BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT JUST POWERS DOWN. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET INJURED FROM THIS FAILURE BEFORE SOMEONE FIXES IT! THIS IS ABSURD! *TR

ALL FOUR INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED/BROKEN, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HANDLE IS DANGLING MAKING IT HARD TO OPEN AND THE PASSENGER FRONT HANDLE SEEMS TO BE GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. THE TWO REAR HANDLE CASINGS ARE CRACKED AND HOPEFULLY WILL LAST BEING THE REAR SEATS ARE HARDLY USED. THIS COULD BECOME A VERY DANGEROUS EVEN LIFE THREATENING SITUATION IF IT BECOMES TOTALLY BROKEN OFF AND UNABLE TO OPEN IT IN AN EMERGENCY. SUPPOSEDLY CHRYSLER/JEEP CLAIMS THAT UNTIL MY CALL A FEW MONTHS AGO "THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THIS MATTER, NO ONE HAS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM". I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ME AND AT $500 A DOOR PANEL IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL TO THIS DOOR CASING CRACKING/BREAKING PROBLEM. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000. *TR..UPDATED 07-17-13 *BF

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE THE VEHICLE WILL SWITCH INTO NEUTRAL ON IT'S OWN. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE STOPPED AT LIGHTS, WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, SO ON AND SO FORTH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT READS "SHIFT CONTROL MODULE" AND THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND HAS NOT BEEN CHEAP. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS LIGHT UP AROUND ALL GEARS (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, AND DRIVE.) I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF MY VEHICLE AND RESTART IT BEFORE IT WOULD SWITCH BACK INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. I AM WONDERING IF THE NEW SAFETY RECALL 13V175000 IS COVERING THIS ISSUE. AS I READ, IT SEEMS MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY NEXT STEP WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AS THE PERSON WORKING ON THE VEHICLE DID NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SUGGEST. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH HAVING TO SHARE THIS VEHICLE WITH A TEENAGE SON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL GEAR. THE RPMS INCREASED EXCESSIVELY; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN) WAS RELATED TO THE TRANSFER CASE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,360. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASHLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER, I WOULD TURN OFF THE LIGHTS AND THE BACK ON BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD SOON REOCCUR. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HE LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM IN A WEBSITE TO DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM. HE FOUND THAT 60% OF THE TIME IT WAS THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM. WE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND ARM ASSEMBLY TO THIS DAY SOME 5 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED.THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO GET WORSE OVER TIME WITHOUT THE REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AS THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED. THE CONTACT COULD ONLY MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER WITH FORCE AND IT WOULD BECOME STUCK BETWEEN FIRST AND THIRD GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE GEAR SHIFTER MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

I DO NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, BUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND THEN WENT OUT ALL TOGETHER. I THOUGHT IT HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED MY SIGNAL LIGHTS ON, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE CAUSE. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. EVERY NOW AND THEN, I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOTHING CAN BE FOUND. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND IT TERRIFIES ME THAT SOMEONE WILL THINK I AM FLASHING THEM AND BECOME ANGRY. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG IF THERE ARE SO MANY WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I PURCHASED AS A ONE PERSON LEASE VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP AND WITHIN A YEAR HAD TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I COULD NOT ENTER TRANSMISSION IN THE PARTS SECTION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL DRY CONDITIONS THIS PAST EVENING UNEXPECTEDLY ALL MY INTERIOR GAUGES AND DASH ELECTRONICS STARTED FLICKERING ON AND OFF TO INCLUDE THE RADIO, HAZARD LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING INSIDE. AT THE SAME TIME I REALIZED I WAS ALSO LOOSING MY EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS AND ALSO BRAKE CONTROL BECAUSE MY CAR WAS ESSENTIALLY RUNNING BUT WITH NO ELECTRONICS. IT STARTED MAKING A WEIRD GRINDING PULSATING NOISE THAT WOULD ACCOMPANY THE FLICKERING LIGHTS. THIS FORCED ME TO EXIT THE ROAD AT A GAS STATION. IT THEN STOPPED AND I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN ONLY TO HAVE IT RESUME SHORTLY. THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE TO MY DESTINATION AND WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR THE NIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY IN THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS DURING THE DAY BUT THIS IS MY FIRST NIGHT EXPERIENCE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A GLITCH BUT IT IS DEFINITELY GETTING WORSE AND HAS BECOME REGULAR. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS ABLE START AND DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO WORK AND IT REPEATED THIS BEHAVIOR A COUPLE MORE TIMES. AT DAYS END I WENT TO LEAVE AND NOW MY JEEP WON'T START AND HASN'T FOR TWO DAYS. ALL THE ELECTRONICS COME ON BUT WHEN I TURN THE KEY IT JUST CLICKS. I ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST BUT WHEN MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT HE WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW & WITHOUT WARNING: THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS, TACHOMETERS, HEATER, AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER ON/OFF, THEN GO COMPLETELY OFF. THEN IF APPLYING THE BRAKES, THERE IS A FEROCIOUS GRINDING NOISE AND LOSS OF STEERING. ENGINE SEEMS TO SLOW DOWN OR NOT WANT TO SHIFT TO NEXT GEAR WHILE DRIVING. ALL THIS HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS FLICKERING. SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM BUT GETTING WORSE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A DAY THEN DISAPPEARS. I HAVE VIDEO RECORDING OF THESE INCIDENTS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED BUT "NOTHING REPORTS" SO I AM TOLD IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF HIGHWAY 50 EAST OF CARSON CITY NEVADA AND THE LIGHTS WENT BRIGHT THEN OUT THEN FLICKERED ON AND OFF THEN IT WAS OKAY. A SHORT TIME LATER ON THE SAME HIGHWAY STILL A STRAIGHT SECTION IT DID THE SAME THING, I PULLED OVER, LIGHTS WENT TO NORMAL. THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THE TIME THANK GOD. THIS WAS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE WITHOUT HESITATION AND IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE BEEN READING LOTS OF INCIDENTS LIKE WHAT WE WENT THROUGH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING UNDER COMPLETELY NORMAL CONDITIONS, SEVERAL SEVERE PROBLEMS OCCURRED SIMULTANEOUSLY; INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF, VEHICLE STARTED SPUTTERING AND BECAME UNRESPONSIVE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, GRINDING SOUND FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL ACCOMPANIED THE OTHER PROBLEMS FURTHER ADDING TO THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWING DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. ALL WARNING LIGHTS WERE LIT UP WHEN FLASHING STOPPED, BUT THEN A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER WHILE I WAS TRYING TO LIMP INTO A PARKING LOT TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED WILDLY FLASHING ON AND OFF AGAIN AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO BE VIRTUALLY UNRESPONSIVE WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT, THE ESP/BAS LIGHTS REMAINED ON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT EVENTUALLY WENT OUT, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN ON 3/29/2013 WHILE I WAS DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. IT WAS SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED AND SCARY. WITH THE RIGHT SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, IT COULD BE DEVASTATING AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ONCE I STARTED DOING A BIT OF ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND MANY JEEP FORUMS PACKED FULL OF OWNERS WITH THE IDENTICAL MODEL AND YEAR OF MY GRAND CHEROKEE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME GRAVE ISSUES. IT IS CLEARLY VERY WIDESPREAD FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, AND THEN I FOUND THE ARFC PAGE AND I WAS ASTOUNDED AT THE NUMBERS OF OWNERS OF MY YEAR AND MODEL WHO HAVE ALSO HAD HAIR RAISING INCIDENTS WHO HAVE DESCRIBED THE EXACT SET OF PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD. CHRYSLER CANNOT IGNO

JULY 26TH 2010 IS WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND MY BACK TWO DOORS WERE INOPERABLE. NO ONE COULD GET OUT OF THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I DROVE AROUND FOR A WHOLE YEAR BEFORE I GOT IT REPLACED. THE OPERATION HOMEFRONT REPLACED MY REAR DOORS FOR ME WITH NOTHING COMING OUT OF MY POCKETS. IF IT WASN'T FOR OHF I WOULD'VE CAME OUT OF MY POCKET $1200 TO FIX JUST THE REAR DOORS. I NEEDED THEM FIXED BECAUSE I HAVE A CHILD AND THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF MY CHILD CANNOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. JEEP SAID THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THE DOOR PANELS FOR THIS VEHICLE. RIGHT NOW MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL IS FAILING AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THE DOOR BECAUSE IT IS SO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. JEEP NEEDS TO DO A RECALL OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. MY HANDLE IS SEPARATING FORM THE DOOR AND SOON I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. *TR

INTERIOR REAR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN. CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THAT DOOR. *TR

JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAKING. THE FRONT 2 ARE BOTH CRACKED AND PIECES FALLING OUT LEADING TO THE DOOR HANDLES FAILING IF EMERGENCY EXIT REQUIRED. *TR

AT APPROX. 110K MILES THE ESB, TRAC AND BAS INDICATION LIGHTS CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED AND SAID THAT THE BRAKE PRESSURE SENSOR AND STEERING ANGEL SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE COMPUTER BOARD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTDED HEMI 5.7L LOADED SAFETY PROBLEM - EACH DOOR HANDLE (4). 1. DRIVER DOOR HAS A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE DOOR HANDLE AREA. 2. REAR DRIVER DOOR LARGE HOLE AND WEAK HANDLE. 3. PASSENGER DOOR HAS LARGE HOLE AND CRACK. 4. REAR PASSENGER HANDLE IS A TOTAL SAFETY HAZARD. THE HANDLE IS BROKEN OFF FROM PANEL WITH A HUGE HOLE (INOPERABLE FROM THE INSIDE). CAN ONLY OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. *TR

PULLING AWAY FROM STOP SIGN MY VEHICLE LOST POWER (STALLED OUT). THE LIGHTS FOR PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, AND DRIVE ALL CAME ON AT ONE TIME. LOST POWER FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS THEN CAR STARTING MOVING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOT JUST THE ONE DATE LISTED HERE. THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME I WAS ACTUALLY PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR WRECK. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO TURN CAR OFF. WHEN I START IT BACK AGAIN IT RUNS FINE FOR A WHILE. EVER SINCE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT HAVE BEEN COMING ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I HAD TO HAVE A SPEED SENSOR CHANGED ON THE TRANSMISSION CAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT THROUGH GEARS COST ME AROUND $800 BECAUSE IT HAD TO BE TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SERVICE CENTER. ARE THESE PROBLEMS ALL RELATED? BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A PRIVATE SELLER (ONE OWNER) WELL TAKEN CARE OF. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS UP TO DATE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT 1 1\2 YEARS AGO. IS THERE ANY RECALLS ON ANY OF THE PROBLEMS I LISTED HERE? *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A PREVIOUS PRIVATE OWNER ON OR ABOUT 19 NOVEMBER 2012. THE TWO FORWARD SEAT BELT BUCKLES, AT TIME THE OF PURCHASE WERE ALREADY EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. NEITHER ONE OF THE BUCKLES WOULD ALLOW YOU TO FREELY SNAP IN OR LATCH THE OTHER END OF THE BELT. THE ONLY WAY ONE COULD GET THE BELTS LATCHED WAS TO PRESS IN THE "RED RELEASE BUTTON" ON THE BUCKLE - IT WOULD THEN LOCK IN PLACE AS NORMAL. TO UNLATCH THE BELT, ONE WOULD PRESS THE "RED RELEASE BUTTON AS NORMAL AND THEY WOULD RELEASE. HOWEVER, ONCE IT WAS LOCKED INTO PLACE, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE DASH PANEL WOULD NOT GO OUT. IT REMAINED ON AND THE CHIMES WOULD CONTINUE TO SOUND AS IF THE BELTS HAD NOT BEEN MATED. EVENTUALLY, THE CHIMES WOULD SHUTDOWN, BUT THE LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON. THE OTHER STRANGE THING IS THAT THE CHIMES WOULD RETURN WHEN ONE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE CHIMES WOULD REMAIN ON FOR AN EXTENDED LENGTH OF TIME BEFORE THEY SHUTOFF. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE LOCKING BUCKLE ASSEMBLY ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I DID ORDER THE PARTS FROM THE DEALER AND HAD A MECHANIC REPLACE THE ASSEMBLIES. THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUE WITH THE BELTS SINCE THE REPLACEMENT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND THE INFORMATION I HAVE ACCESSED ON THE INTERNET, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE CHRYSLER MOPAR PART NUMBER FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS 1CB121D5AB AND IS CALLED, "ASSEMBLY, PRETENSI

AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT THREE OF FOUR OF THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAVE BROKEN OFF AND ARE UNUSABLE. THE PLASTIC HANDLES AND THE SUPPORTING DOOR FRAMES ARE ALL CRACKING IN THE SAME LOCATION AND THE HANDLES THEN FALL OFF. THE DEALER JUST TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY MAY NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE ?PROBLEM START AFTER 50,000 MILES?, THIS IS RIDICULOUS, AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO EVEN DISCUSS THE ISSUE, THEY DIDN'T ANSWER PHONE CALLS, EVEN VOICEMAILS, NOTHING AT ALL! FOR ME IT?S MORE THAN OBVIOUS, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT TAKES MORE TIME TO EGRESS THE VEHICLE IN AN ACCIDENT. JUST THINK ABOUT THIS HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION; YOU'RE WITH THE FAMILY, (WIFE, DAUGHTERS, GRANDFATHER AND GRANDMOTHER), ALL WINDOWS UP, THEN APPEARS SOMEBODY AND HITS YOU, INSIDE THREE OF FOUR HANDLES DIDN'T OPERATES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 55MPH SUDDENLY EVERY DASHBOARD WARNINGS LIGHT, IGNITION, RADIO,HEADLIGHTS, ETC. TURNS ON AND OFF. ENGINE STALLS FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS EACH TIME THIS OCCURS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. DEALER SAYS THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALER'S SHOP ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND THE SECOND TIME THEY DID SOMETHING TO THE COMPUTER. THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING AND IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALER ON 2/18/13. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE WAS STILL IDLING WHEN ALL OF THE WARNING AND LEVEL GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO AS SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNINGS. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BECAME FRACTURED AND ALL OF THE REMAINING DOOR HANDLES WERE CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

SUDDENLY EVERY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT, A/C, HEADLIGHTS, ETC. TURNS ON AND OFF. DEALER RECOMMENDED TO REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM THE KEY CHAIN (?!) SO THEY KNEW THEN THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT HELPED FOR A WHILE UNTIL SAME THING HAPPENED FEBRUARY 2013, BUT THIS TIME ENGINE STALLED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND CALLED CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER SAID IT'S GOING TO BE MY PROBLEM UNTIL NHTSA ISSUES OFFICIAL RECALL. DEALER WILL CHARGE ME $360 FOR A NEW IGNITION SWITCH TOMORROW. ALL 2006 JEEP OWNERS - IF YOU HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM - DON'T JUST READ THIS, FILE A COMPLAINT. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO WAKE UP CHRYSLER. *TR
