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 TO DRIVE A CAR IS NOT OK EXPECIALLY WHEN IT'S THE ONLY CAR YOU HAVE AND YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO REPAIR OR BUY A NEW ONE CUZ YOU'RE ON DISABILITY.

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.
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.
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.

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.
