I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR YEARS IN MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE DOOR HANDLES ON THE INSIDE ARE ALL BROKEN. ONE IN THE BACK IS COMPLETELY BROKE OFF AND THE 2 IN THE FRONT ARE HANGING BY A WIRE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I GET NOWHERE WHEN TRYING TO TALK TO JEEP OR EVEN JEEP DEALERS. RECENTLY I SAW ONLINE MANY MORE PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND SOMEONE EVEN SAID JEEP AGREED TO A $50 COPAY IN 2010. I BROUGHT MY JEEP INTO THE DEALER WHEN IT WAS STILL COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BOUGHT FROM JEEP WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 2006, AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS COSMETIC AND NOT COVERED. WHEN CALLING JEEP I WAS TOLD NOBODY HAS DIED SO NO RECALL AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THESE DOOR HANDLES. YOU CAN NOT REPLACE THE HANDLES ONLY, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE PANEL AND TOTAL COST IS AROUND $3000. WITH THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT IT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED ON A LARGE SCALE. IF ONE OF US GETS KILLED FROM BEING TRAPPED INSIDE OF THEIR JEEP BECAUSE THE DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL BROKEN THEY WILL HAVE A HUGE PRICE TO PAY. I AM DOWN TO ONE HANDLE, AND EXTREMELY UNHAPPY! PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

THREE OF THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE BROKEN OFF AND ARE UNUSABLE. THE OTHER TWO ARE CRACKING AND I AM FEARFUL THAT THEY WILL BE BREAKING OFF SOON. THE HANDLES AND THE SUPPORTING DOOR FRAMES ARE ALL CRACKING IN THE SAME LOCATION AND THE HANDLES THEN FALL OFF. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO EVEN DISCUSS THE ISSUE. THE DEALER STATES IT IS $700 -$900 PER DOOR TO FIX. PARTS TO FIX THE DOOR HANDLES ARE UNAVAILABLE FOR SALE OUTSIDE THE DEALERSHIPS. DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE OF BEING UNABLE TO EXIT THE BACK SEAT AREA FROM THE INSIDE, I AM UNABLE TO ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEATS AT THIS TIME. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO EXIT THE CAR FROM THE INSIDE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS POSTED AS WELL AS A WEBSITE WHERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE STATING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THEIR 2005 JEEP. THERE WAS NOT ANY OUTSIDE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAUSED THIS DEFECT. THE DEALER STATES IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY HAZARD. I HOPE YOU WILL ADDRESS AS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

I FEAR THAT VERY SOON, I WON'T BE ABLE TO OPEN ANY OF THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE AT ALL RENDERING MY VEHICLE USELESS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT THAT I COULD NOT HAVE CAUSED BY MYSELF. THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE FALLING APART AFTER ONLY SIX YEARS. THE POOR QUALITY OF THE PLASTIC USED TO MAKE THE DOOR PANELS IS CLEARLY THE PROBLEM. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR DOOR PANELS ON MY OWN, NOR DO I FEEL THAT I SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR COST. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET BY THE DISAPPOINTING QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CURRENT STATE OF THE ECONOMY IS NOT MAKING THINGS EASIER FOR ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES STARTED BREAKING FROM THE PLASTIC THEY ARE ATTACHED TO ABOUT A YEAR AGO.THE DRIVERS DOOR IS COMPLETELY BROKEN I DO NOT HAVE ANY WARRANTY LEFT ON THE CAR AND LOOKED INTO FIXING AND FOUND OUT THAT ONE DOOR ALONE THE PART WOULD BE $660 BEFORE LABOR. I HAVE ALL FOUR DOORS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED. I CALLED TO SPEAK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THE DOORS ARE MADE OF CHEAP OR DEFECTIVE PARTS AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE OF THE MILES ON MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT HELPING ON THE COSTS, I HAVE HEARD THAT OTHER FOLKS HAVE BEEN HELPED WITH 50% OF THE COSTS. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE A VW AND VOLVO AND THEY ARE NEAR THE SAME AGE AND DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THE ONLY WAY SOMEONE CAN GET OUT OF THE CAR IS TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THEY ARE ELECTRIC WINDOWS SO IF IN AN ACCIDENT IT COULD BECOME TRAGIC. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM FOR ANY 2005 VEHICLE NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN SOOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE 2005 MODEL HAVING THIS ISSUE. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY. THE CAR HAS HAD NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THANKYOU *TR

14V438000 · Electrical System:ignition:switch

Jul 21, 2014

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

13V175000 · Electrical System; Power Train:transfer Case (4-WHEEL Drive)

May 7, 2013

Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, through March 9, 2010; and 2006-2010 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, through March 10, 2010. A transfer case electrical failure may result in an unintentional shifting of the transfer case into the neutral position.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the final drive controller which governs the transfer case, with new software, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N23.

Sep 14, 2005

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 & remedy

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, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR SHIELD WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF THE PRESENCE OF A LEAK IS DETECTED, THE VEHICLE WILL BE EVALUATED FOR SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER ENGAGEMENT. IF NO SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE TRIPLE FLUSHED, AND NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TORQUE CONVERTER WILL BE REPLACED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 31, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
