2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED MY CERTIFIED USED 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, THE INTERIOR INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DASH LIGHTS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE BRIGHTNESS FLICKERS FROM LOW TO VERY HIGH, WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING AT NIGHT, SOME OF THE PANEL CONTROLS HAVE SINCE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, AND SEVERAL TIMES, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH (SEATBELT, AIRBAG, CHECK ENGINE, ETC) FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT NUMEROUS SPEEDS AND TIMES OF THE DAY. I VIDEO TAPED SEVERAL INCIDENTS ON MY CELL PHONE TO PROVE IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE VIDEO MEANS NOTHING. IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN, OR IS MORE NOTICEABLE, AT NIGHT. THEY CHECKED IT IN THE DAYTIME. MADE NO OFFER OF ANY SOLUTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT DID NOT ALLOW THE DEALER TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW WHY THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,808.

DOOR HANDLES ON BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES HAVE CRACKED AND IF THESE BREAK, HAVE NO WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND JEEP WILL NOT HONOR IT. *TR

WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, ON THE HIGHWAY, VEHICLE STALLED, LOST POWER STEERING, ACCELERATION ABILITY, BRAKING AND LIGHTS. HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHILE NARROWLY AVOIDING OTHER MOTORISTS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 5-60 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED. *TR

LESS THEN 5K MILEAGE, THE TIRES BEGAN TO RIPPLE DISCOVERED UPON LOCAL GAS STATION INSPECTION. THREADS STARTED COMING THREW ON BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT TIRES. *TR

ALL THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE STARTING TO BREAK OFF AT THE PANEL AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE IN THE CASE OD AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE PLASTIC DOOR PANEL EXHIBITED A HOLE AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE WITH SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. THERE WERE ALSO CRACKS VISIBLE ON THE REMAINING THREE DOOR PANELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE DOOR PANEL WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARD THE REPAIR EXPENSE IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FOUR DOOR PANELS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. KMJ

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKING AND CRUMBLING ON THE CAR. THE ONLY REPAIR THE DEALER HAS IS TO REPLACE THE DOOR PANELS FOR $800 EACH. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER GROUP LLC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE ([XXX]), THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR HANDLES. THEY WILL ONLY SAY THAT MY CAR IS TO OLD, HAS NO WARRANTY SO THEREFORE THEY CANNOT ASSIST ME WITH THIS REPAIR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. ONE CAN NO LONGER BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THE OTHER 3 ARE DANGLING AND ARE ABOUT TO BREAK. *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT STARTED TO GET HAIR LINE CRACKS IN IT. IT IS CRACKING MORE AND MORE WITH USE. AT SOME POINT THE HANDLE WILL COME APART AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT A REPAIR AND THEY WANT $800.00 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL. IT APPEARS THIS WILL HAPPEN WITH THE OTHER DOORS AS WELL. THERE ARE AFTER MARKET REPAIR KITS, BUT AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE HANDLES, I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD REPLACE OR REPAIR THEM FOR FREE. *TR
