2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Complaint Log

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE PARKED THE CONTACT NOTICED THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE DOOR HANDLE WITHIN THE INTERIOR WAS DETERIORATING ON BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. THE CONTACT STATED THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DOORS NEEDED TO BE OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING BUT HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLES BREAKING/FAILING: BOTH REAR DOORS TOTALLY INOPERABLE. ***THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE HANDLES ARE INOPERABLE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, LIKELY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!*** MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO AND REPLACE/REPAIR HANDLES IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE! MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL WARRANTED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND ALL MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING,I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND I AM CONCERNED THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS 40,000 MILES, IMMACULATE CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE DOOR HANDLES AND THEIR STRUCTURES AROUND THEM. THE DRIVERS DOOR IS BARLEY EXCITABLE. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN TO GET OUT.(HOW EMBARRASSING, TO BE A TOP OF THE LINE, SHOWROOM QUALITY; STILL ; VEHICLE). WE BOUGHT IT NEW IN NOVEMBER 2004. HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY WITH IT UNTIL 2 MONTHS AGO. THE PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER HANDLES ARE CRACKED AS WELL. PLEASE HELP ME, I'M JUST SICK ABOUT IT. *TR

MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WILL SPORADICALLY LOSE A PORTION OF ITS ELECTRICAL POWER. IT CAN BE RESTORED BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. IT NEVER LOSES THE RADIO NOR THE "P,R,N,D" ON THE ODOMETER, BUT IT ALWAYS LOSES THE REMAINDER OF THE ODOMETER, THE TURN SIGNALS AND THE HVAC SYSTEM. THE JEEP DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BEGAN TO CRACK, FOLLOWED BY THE OTHER THREE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. I CAN BARELY OPEN ANY OF THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE AT THIS POINT. 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

ALL 4 OF MY INTERIOR DOOR MECHANISMS ARE BROKEN. I'M ABLE TO STILL OPEN MY FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOORS, BUT THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS HAVE TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE FILED 2 CLAIMS WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO ATTEMPT TO GET THEM REPLACED (SAFETY HAZARD), BUT WAS DECLINED. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD THINK THAT SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE DOOR MECHANISMS BEING SO FRAGILE, THAT THEY WOULD RECALL THEM AND REPLACE THEM. THE REAR DOORS WHERE THE FIRST ONES TO BREAK, THEN THE FRONT PASSENGER AND AS OF 4/02/13 THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BROKE. I'VE ALWAYS HAD A JEEP OF SOME KIND AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME AND IF THE CORPORATION DOESN'T STEP UP AND CORRECT THIS MATTER, I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO NEVER PURCHASE A JEEP PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD UNTIL CRASHING. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE DRIVER WAS REPORTED INJURED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALSO APPEARED ON THE SCENE DUE TO SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

DOOR HANDLES FALLING OFF DUE TO A SUPPLIERS DEFECTIVE PLASTIC RESIN MIX. IN CASE OF A FIRE OR CRASH A PASSENGER OR DRIVER MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND DIE FROM THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. *TR

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED (5.7L): INTERIOR PLASTIC HOLDING DOOR HANDLES HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND NOW THEY ARE BROKEN. I AM THE SOLE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE (I'M SINGLE, NO KIDS) AND MY REAR DOOR HANDLES HAVE RARELY EVER BEEN USED, YET THEY ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN NOW. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON TREND AMONG THESE 2005-2008 JEEP MODELS AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS REAR PASSENGERS ARE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE INSIDE. THE STEPS TO REPAIR A SIMPLE DOOR HANDLE AND CRACK REQUIRES THE ENTIRE PANEL TO BE REPLACED, AT $400+ EACH. THESE DEALER REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACK-ORDER DUE TO THE EXTREME AMOUNT OF CASES WITH THIS. *TR

I OWN A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND MY DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING OFF ON THE INSIDE. I DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN SO THEY ARE NOT ABUSED IN ANY WAY. THE MATERIAL IS A CHEAP PLASTIC AND THE HANDLES ARE BARELY HANGING ON BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE ALSO SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON YOUTUBE FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH SAME SITUATION. I ALSO WORK FOR AAA ROADSIDE AND HAVE SEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THEY HAVE TO BE TOWED FOR ELECTRICAL FIRES. THIS MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS AND THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THERE ARE ALSO VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE WITH JEEP FIRES AS WELL TO BACK IT UP. ANY KIND OF RECALL WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS THESE TWO SCENARIOS ARE A SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATNING COMBINATION. THANKS *TR

1. NORMAL USE OF INTERIOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH. 2. CASING AROUND INTERIOR DOOR LATCH HANDLE BROKEN 3. ENTIRE DOOR PANEL MUST BE REPLACED. DOOR PANEL FOR THIS MODEL ON BACKORDER. EXISTING BROKEN PART IS AVAILABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PLASTIC DOOR PANEL AREA THAT WAS SURROUNDING THE HANDLE BECAME CRACKED ON ALL FOUR DOORS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A REASON FOR THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE DONE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

3 OUT OF 4 DOOR HANDLES HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS ON THE PLASTIC DOOR PANEL IN MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ONE OF THE DOORS IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL WITHOUT ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND PULLING THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN DEFECT FROM FAULTY PLASTIC ATTACHMENTS. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO QUICKLY EXIT THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY IF THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR I OBSERVED THE FRONT PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HOUSING TO BE CRACKED AND LOOSE. I WAS BEWILDERED HOW THIS HAPPENED. IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR MY SEVEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE REAR SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND EXITED. I WAS WAITING FOR MY DAUGHTER TO COME OUT AND SHE BEGAN TO BANG ON THE GLASS IN A PANIC. I OPENED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND SHE WAS CRYING AND TOLD ME SHE COULDN'T GET OUT THAT THE INTERIOR HANDLE WAS BROKEN. I LOOKED AT THE HANDLE AND DISCOVERED THE HOUSING TO BE COMPLETELY BROKEN APART LIKE THE FRONT PASSENGER ONE, BUT THE REAR HANDLE WAS JUST DANGLING AND IS INOPERABLE. IT WAS AT THIS TIME I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE TO SEE IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS. SURE ENOUGH IT IS A PROBLEM WITH HUNDREDS OF JEEP OWNERS, AND MY RESEARCH SHOULD THAT THERE ARE 65 COMPLAINTS FILED UNDER LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES; 29 COMPLAINTS UNDER STRUCTURE: BODY: DOOR; AND 10 COMPLAINTS UNDER LATCHES /LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOOR:LATCH, NOT COUNTING OTHER SITE COMPLAINTS WHEN YOU CONDUCT A GOOGLE SEARCH. I WENT TO A LOCAL JEEP DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT MY WARRANTY IS UP AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANY RECALLS. I AM CONCERNED AS IF TWO HANDLES ARE BROKE, IT IS A MATTER OF TIME THE OTHER TWO WILL ALSO BREAK. I ALSO FIND THIS TO BE A SERIOUS!!!, SAFETY ISSUE AS IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY, HOW WILL A CHILD EXIT MY REAR SEAT IF THEY ARE SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER AND IF THE HANDLE BREAKS ON THE OTHERSIDE THERE IS NO GETTING OUT FROM WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THIS OF COURSE CAN RESULT IN THE DEATH OF A PASSENGER. I HOPE YOUR AGENCY CAN ASSIST ME WITH THIS PROBLEM IN GETTING THESE HANDLES REPLACED BEFORE THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

2006, 2007, 2008, HYUNDAI SONATAS. SUNVISOR FAILS TO REMAIN IN POSITION OR PLASTIC ARM COVER BREAKS CAUSING THE SUNVISOR TO NOT STAY IN THE UPWARD POSITION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE ON A TRIP THE SUNVISOR FAILED TO REMAIN UPRIGHT IMPAIRING ROAD VISION. THERE HAVE BEEN THREE TSB BULLETINS REGARDING THE SONATA SUNVISORS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND THE INTERNET IS LOADED WITH CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING RECENT FAILURES OF THE SUNVISOR TO REMAIN IN POSITION. *TR

DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH IS LOOSE BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC PART IS BROKE OFF, AND IT CAN COME OFF ANYTIME. OTHER TWO DOORS HAVE CRACKS AROUND THE LATCHES, STARTING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS NOT THING CAN BE DONE EXCEPT REPLACE THE PARTS WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS IS THE DEFECTIVE ISSUE WITH THE PLASTIC THAT SURROUNDED THE DOOR LATCHES. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION KEY TO THE START POSITION, YOU HEAR 1 "CLICK" BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT EVENT THAT SEEMS TO COME AND GO EVERY FEW MONTHS. WHEN IT HAPPENS, I HAVE TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION FOR ABOUT 1 - 2 MINUTES, THEN ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. I HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT SINCE IT IS SO RANDOM, THE SERVICE PERSONNEL COULD NOT RECREATE THE EVENT. I EVEN ADVISED THEM THAT OTHER OWNERS, REGISTERING THIS SAME COMPLAINT, POINTED TO CORRODED SOLENOID WIRES AS BEING THE CULPRIT. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD ME PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY LAST YEAR. THIS DID NOT FIX THE CONDITION WHICH CONTINUES PERIODICALLY TO THIS VERY DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CAR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO START AT A FEW TIMES WHEN THE SURROUNDINGS WERE LESS THAN TOTALLY SAFE. I HAVE VIEWED A NUMBER OF CONSUMER FORUMS, SUCH AS HTTP://AUTOFORUM.CLASSIFIEDS1000.COM/JEEP-GRAND_CHEROKEE/2005_JEEP_GC_NOT_STARTING?PG=10. ALL OF THESE OWNERS HAVE THE EXACT ISSUE BUT EACH TIME, WHEN PRESENTED WITH THE DETAILS OF THE OCCURRENCES, DEALERSHIPS DISAVOW ALL KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS CONDITION EXISTS. MANY CONSUMERS ARE BEING TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIPS THAT NO OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. *JS

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE INSIDE DOOR PANELS ARE A HARD PLASTIC ONE PIECE DOOR PANEL. THE PLASTIC THAT IS BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLES IS BROKEN AND CRACKED AND I AM VERY MUCH CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF BEING ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY OR EVEN DURING NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT JEEP REFUSED TO DO A RECALL AND THE REPLACEMENTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES AND AGAIN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS WIDE SPREAD IN THIS MODEL WITH OTHER OWNERS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE. *TR

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. THE AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILURE ANNUNCIATED CORRUPTION OF THE SYSTEM. AUTO WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, WALLACE JEEP IN STUART, FLORIDA FOR REPAIR. SYSTEM WAS DIAGNOSED AND PARTS ORDERED FOR REPAIR TWO WEEKS AGO. PARTS ARE STILL BACKORDERED. HOW CAN SAFETY ITEMS NOT BE AVAILABLE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED AND THE EXTERIOR HANDLE HAD BEGUN TO FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT HE WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I "RECALL" DRIVING ONE EVENING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 05 GRAND CHEROKEE WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST ALL POWER. I WAS TRAVELING IN A CONGESTED AREA AT 65 MPH WITH LOTS OF SEMI'S SURROUNDING ME. THANK THE GOD'S I HAPPEN TO BE ON THE PERFECT INCLINE LEADING TO AN OFF RAMP AT THE TIME OF THIS ENGINE POWER FAILURE. I'D HATE TO IMAGINE THE OUT COME HAD I BEEN ONE LANE OVER A FEW SECONDS PRIOR! MY SON WHO WAS ONLY 5 AT THE TIME WAS A BIT FREAKED OUT FROM THE WHOLE ORDEAL. BUT MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THAT I'M A JEEP GIRL AND A FAITHFUL ONE BUT AFTER MY CONSTANT BATTLE WITH THIS LESS THEN DESIRABLE HUNK OF JUNK I'M THINKING OF CHEATING WITH A FORD! AFTER MY DAILY FAILURES WITH THIS THING I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE FAR SURPASSES THE TWO RECALLS IN MY SHORT 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. I'M MOST UPSET WITH MY DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE FACT THEY FORGOT TO MENTION A FEW HUNDRED DRIVERS OF THIS PRIOR RENTAL TRUCK WITH AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS MORE THAN A SKIP OVER THE CURB. THEY OFFERED BUT NEVER MADE GOOD ON PROVIDING ME WITH OWNERS MANUAL...GUESS THEY WERE WORRIED I WOULD NOTICE THE PAST SAFETY RECALLS THAT WERE NEVER DONE. SO I HAVE HAD AND CONTINUE TO HAVE EVERY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION ON THIS HEAP KNOWN TO MECHANICS. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF PAYING FOR THINGS THAT "JEEPS ARE KNOWN FOR" WHEN IN TRUTH ITS ALL BEEN A RESULT TO THE VISCOUS CYCLE OF RECALLS THAT WERE EITHER NEVER DONE OR NEVER THE PROPER FIX TO BEGIN WITH. SO I BEG THE HEADS, MONEY AND ENGINEERS OF CHRYSLER GROUP LLC TO GET YOUR [XXX] TOGETHER AND DO THE RIGHT THING BY REMOVING THE 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 5.7 LITER WITH A HEMI DEATH TRAP OFF THE ROADS! ITS QUITE OBVIOUS FROM THE FIRST RECALL ONLY THREE MONTHS AFTER ITS MANUFACTURER DATE THIS TRUCK WAS MEANT TO FAIL...!!! SO PLEASE STOP THE DUCT IT FIX IT OR[XXX] IT!

OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS ALL 4 OF MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN ON MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I ONLY HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE ONE DAY A WEEK AT THE MOST. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, BUT A SUPPLIER'S DEFECTIVE PLASTIC RESIN MIX. THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL MUST BE REPLACED NOT JUST THE HANDLE. *TR

THE PLASTIC ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS CRACKED AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE. THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE AND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ARE INOPERABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE DOOR. *TR

I HAVE 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT 3 OF THE 4 INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE HANDLE IN PLACE IS VERY THIN CHEEP PLASTIC THAT CRACKS AND BREAKS THERE ARE HOLES IS SOME OF THEM AND ON THE DRIVER DOOR THE LATCH IS COMPLETELY BROKEN. THIS CAN VERY EASILY BECOME A LIFE THREATING ISSUE IF THERE WAS A FIRE AND SOME ONE COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR. IF YOU LOOK ON LINE YOU CAN FIND THAT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 05 MODELS. THIS IS A YOUTUBE LINK THAT WILL SHOW YOU A IN DETAIL THE PROBLEM THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT(HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=QSFRZ7CIBKY&FEATURE=RELATED) IF YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME TO VERIFY ANYTHING OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

WHEN THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO INSPECT IT FIRE WAS UNDER HIS FEET, UNDER THE HOOD AND THE ENTIRE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REMOVE A CHILD PASSENGER FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY INJURIES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO ASSIST WITH EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE. AN INVESTIGATOR WITH THE MANUFACTURER TOOK PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE THREE WEEKS AGO AND THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A FOLLOW UP CALL. THE INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A COPY OF THE RECALL NOTICE AND STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST HIM SINCE THE FAILURE WAS MECHANICAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COMPLETELY DESTROYED BUT IT WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. CASE # 20554289 WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT CONFIRM IF HIS VIN WAS A PART OF NHTSA RECALL 05V396000, POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ALTHOUGH THE FAILURE WAS IDENTICAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

2005 JEEP CHEROKEE. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE INCLUDING ELECTRICAL, BRAKE SYSTEM ISSUES, BATTERY FAILURE, ALTERNATOR FAILURE, 3 BROKEN STEMS AND REPETITIVE ISSUES WITH A TRANSMISSION FILTER *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WOULD OFTEN LEAVE HIM STRANDED.

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT INTERSECTIONS WHILE MAKING TURNS WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO LOSE STEERING ABILITY. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. I JUST HIT 50,000 MILES, AND IT IS SPORADIC AT BEST THAT I HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE REAR. I HAVE KEPT MY VEHICLE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. HOWEVER, BOTH OF MY REAR DOOR HANDLES ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN. I HAVE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE. MY FRONT TWO DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED WITH PIECES MISSING BUT STILL OPERATIONAL FOR THE MOMENT, BUT I'M SURE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS MY REAR PASSENGERS HAVE NO WAY OF EXITING THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF FIRE OR OTHER EVENT WOULD REQUIRE A QUICK EXIT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *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. HERE IS A LINK TO A WEBSITE WITH TONS OF COMPLAINS ON THIS ISSUE HTTP://WWW.DENLORSTOOLS.COM/AUTOBLOG/2010/11/JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-INTERIOR-DOOR-HANDLE-BROKEN-RECALL/#COMMENT-11230 *KB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE AND WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS PRIOR TO THE RECALL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL THE LIGHTING ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL WOULD MALFUNCTION. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE HAD RECURRED FOR A THIRD TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,385. UPDATED 5/4/15*CN

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES OF MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE BREAKING, RENDERING THEM INOPERABLE. I HAVE ATTACHED A VIDEO LINK DETAILING THE PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=QSFRZ7CIBKY I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WILL COST ME $700.00 PER DOOR. I DID NOT CAUSE THE DAMAGE. THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM WEAK PLASTICS. I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN AND INQUIRE IF A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE WITH STATED THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO PLANNED RECALL. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESS! I HAVE SPOKE WITH NUMEROUS OWNERS AND REPAIR SHOPS, THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHAT IF I WAS IN A LIFE TREATING SITUATION AND NEEDED TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE? HOWEVER I CAN NOT BECAUSE MY HANDLE IS BROKEN. I DON'T HAVE CHILDREN, BUT WHAT IF THEY ARE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION AND CAN'T GET OUT? IT REALLY CONCERNS ME THAT A TRAGEDY MUST HAPPEN BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I DO HOPE SOMEONE WILL INVESTIGATE THIS AND FORCE A RECALL.

WHEN OPENING REAR DOOR, HANDLE BROKE IN SEVERAL PLACES. PERSON OPENING DOOR WAS ONLY 4 SO IT WAS DUE TO THE OVER EXERTION. IT IS NOW NOT POSSIBLE TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR FROM INSIDE THE CAR.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE - ALL 4 PLASTIC DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF - PLASTIC FALLING APART AND INTO INSIDE OF DOOR - THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT IS TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE - I HAVE TRIED TO GORILLA GLUE THEM BACK TOGETHER AND THEY JUST KEEP CRUMBLING. *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ON 3 OF THE 4 DOORS ON MY GRAND CHEROKEE ARE BROKEN AND SHOW STRESS FRACTURES AROUND THE INTEROIR DOOR HANDLE, THE PART OF THE DOOR BEHIND THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE REST OF THE DOOR PANEL. THIS PART IS VERY WEAK AND PRONE TO FRACTURE, MAKING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FALL FREE INTO THE VEHICLE. THE DOORS ARE BARELY OPERABLE AND I AM WORRIED IN A COLLISION THESE DOORS WILL NOT FUNCTION. THE FRONT PANELS COST $750 A PIECE AND THE REARS COST $450. I CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AS THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. JEEP AND CHRYSLER ARE WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS I FOUND OUT WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW AND IF CHRYSLER ISN'T GOING TO DO IT WILLINGLY IT FALLS TO THE NTSB TO STEP IN AND PREVENT NEEDLESS DEATHS DUE TO FAULTY DOOR HANDLES.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF OR ARE ABOUT TO BREAK OFF IN MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HEMI. THERE IS A COMMON MANUFACTURERS MATERIAL DEFECT, AS THE DOOR HANDLE "POCKET" IS MADE OUT A BRITTLE PLASTIC THAT SHATTERS UNDER NORMAL USE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN AN EMERGENCY, ONE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT WORK. YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE POWER WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER/JEEP. *TR

3 OUT OF 4 OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES MOLDING ARE BROKEN AND BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE USING THE DOORS HANDLES.YOU HAVE TO LET DOWN THE WINDOWS TO OPEN BOTH OF THE BACK AND FRONT PASSENGER DOORS IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THE DRIVER SIDE IS BEGINNING TO HAVE THE SAME TROUBLE WITH OPENING. THE DEALER PRICE FOR REPLACEMENT COST IS ABOUT $200+ NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR A SOLUTION ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR'S MODEL AND MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH CHRYSLER. ALL SAID THAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM WHICH IS VERY COSTLY FOR THE AVERAGE WORKING PERSON. TO ME IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. WHAT IF THE CAR CATCHES FIRE, OR ROLLOVER IN A ACCIDENT OR GOES IN A BODY OF WATER? I AM HESITATE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THAT. ALL CAR OWNERS EXPECT TO MAKE REPAIRS TO THEIR VEHICLE FROM DAILY USE. HOWEVER, IT SHOULD NOT BE THE OWNER RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR A REPAIR WHEN IT IS A KNOW FACT THAT MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR OF THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE TO HAVE RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE SINCE 2008 AT 32,000 MILES, THE SUNROOF WORKED GREAT FOR A FEW YEARS THEN I NOTICED THAT THE SUNROOF WOULD CLOSE PASSED THE ROOF LINE OF THE JEEP. I DID NOT THINK OF IT MUCH BECAUSE I ASSUMED THAT THE JEEP WOULD HAVE A SECONDARY SEAL ON THE INSIDE OF THE ROOF LINE, IN BETWEEN THE HEADLINER TO KEEP DEBRIS AND WATER OUT OF THE INSIDE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, IT STARTED SNOWING HEAVILY AND THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS THE SUN MELTED EVERYTHING AWAY. I GOT IN MY JEEP AND REALIZED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THAT I HAD WATER POURING ON MY LEG AND THROUGH THE MAP LIGHTS IN THE CENTER. BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, WORK, MY PANTS WERE COMPLETELY SOAKED AND MY CENTER CONSOLE COMPLETELY DRENCHED. THIS BEING THAT THE SUNROOF HAD NOTHING TO KEEP THE MELTING SNOW OUT OF THE VEHICLE. SUNROOF IS MADE WITH A FAULTY COG SET THAT WEARS AWAY TOO QUICKLY. INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SPEND ALMOST ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS AS I WAS QUOTED IN 2011 FOR THEM TO PLACE IN A NEW COG MADE OF THE SAME BRITTLE PLASTIC. I CHOOSE TO STOP MY MOTOR FROM OVER CLOSING, RENDERING THE SUNROOF ALWAYS SHOWING UP IN SCANNERS AS OPEN. HOWEVER WITH ME CONCENTRATING THAT THE SUNROOF CLOSES CORRECTLY I STILL HAVE LEAKS IN THE SUNROOF. MY JEEP HAS TO STAY OUTSIDE, MEANING ANY TIME IT SNOW, BUT I'M NOT DRIVING, I ALWAYS HAVE TO BRUSH THE ROOF OFF JUST THE ENSURE I DON'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE NOW JUST PASSED 125000 MILES. SINCE THE ISSUES I'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS, I'VE PULLED UP THE CARPET WHILE CLEANING THE VEHICLE ONLY TO NOTICE SO MUCH RUST IN THE FLOOR PANS.. THANKFULLY I HAD THOUGHT TO PULL THE CARPET AND HAVE TAKEN PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TO ENSURE THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT CONTINUE TO RUST.

I FILED A COMPLIANT EARLIER ABOUT MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CD NUMBER IS 10374691. I WILL LIKE TO UPDATE THAT COMPLIANT. I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION REPLACED, THE COMPUTER REPLACED AND THEY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT I INCURRED IN MY PREVIOUS COMPLIANT. THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AGAIN LAST NIGHT AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE DOOR PANELS ON MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED ARE BREAKING, AND BEGINNING TO FALL APART. I'M AFRAID IF MYSELF AND FAMILY WAS HIT IN THE DOOR IN AN ACCIDENT, PIECES FROM THE DOOR COULD HURT ONE OF US. I HAVE TALKED WITH CHRYLER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY TURNED US DOWN. SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO HAVE MORE INFO FROM MORE PEOPLE. CHRYSLER JUST DOESNT WANT TO STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT. I HAVE A CASE #[XXX] CASE MANAGER IS NAMED [XXX] XT 66071. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

THIS HAS BEEN A ONGOING ISSUE AND I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED...THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME...WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD...OR PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC....I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL CRASH OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL CRASH INTO ME IN THE EVENT THAT MY TRANSMISSION FAILS AGAIN...I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED 6 TIMES OVER 3 YEARS NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING...I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS MATTER INVESTIGATED WITH CHRYSLER, LLC SO THAT THEY MAY RECALL THE PRODUCTS AND TAKE THE TIME TO REPAIR THESE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS.. *TR

ON A COLD DAY, MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING IN HIS 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE DEFROSTERS ON. HE HEARD A POP AND SAW THE WINDSHIELD CRACK FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AND NOTHING HAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THERE HAD NOT BEEN A CHIP OR CRACK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON.I CALLED CHRYSLER TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED TO HER. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, WHICH I DID. AFTER 6 DAYS OF GIVING ME THE RUNAROUND, CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND SAW THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD JUST HAD A JEEP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THE PREVIOUS WEEK. A SECOND SERVICE REP AT CHRYSLER HAD TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR
