2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

1. DOOR HANDLES BROKEN ON 3 DOORS 2. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - LIGHTS FLICKERING AND COMPLETELY GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. 3. TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT ALWAYS CHANGE GEARS. FOUND WHERE OTHER GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THESE CONDITIONS BUT NOT THE ONE I OWN.

BEEN WAITING SOMETIME FOR THE DEALER TO GET HIS PART FOR MY RECALL IN ADDITION TO THIS THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE SMOKING AND THE MOTOR IS RUNNING ERRATIC I BELIEVE THIS IS A BIG PIECE OF JUNK AND GOVERNMENT SHOULD BUY BACK. THE JEEP WAS A BIGGEST LEMON EVER. WAS DRIVING IT FROM YOGURTLAND WAS DRIVING IT FROM YOGURTLAND ONLY A FEW MILES AWAY ON THE WAY BACK IT WAS SMOKING LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN THE TRANNY WAS SLIPPING IN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING ERRATIC

I PURCHASED A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON 10/14/2017 AND ON 10/20/2017 ON MY WAY FROM DROPING MY KID OFF ,COMING HOME MY CAR STARTED TO RUN SLUGGISH SO GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY IT CAUGHT ON FIRE.WAS THERE EVER A RECALL ON THIS CAR, SO I LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT A RECALL INVOLVES 2005 .THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WILL GET TOO HOT CAUSE IT BOIL AND EJECT SOME OF THE FLUID COULD COME INTO CONTACT WITH A HOT PART OF THE EXHAUST AND CAUSE AN ENGINE ACCORDING TO JEEP RECALL GRAND CHEROKEE OVER FIRE DANGER WEB SITE. **SEE ALSO 11053735**

ON10-20-2017 DROP MY BADY OFF ON THE EAST SIDE OF ST PAUL ON THE WAY BACK TO THE HOUSE THIS CAR JUST STARTED ON FIRE JUST PURCHASED ON 10-14-2017 6DAYS I DONT KNOW IF THE DEALER KNEW SOMETHING AND DID NOT TELL ME. I PAID 5,000 FOR A CAR THAT BURN UP IN SIX DAYS IAM JUST TRYING TO GET A CAR OR MY MONEY BACK. **SEE ALSO 11055233**

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE MADE OF CHEEP PLASTIC AND PREMATURELY WEARING OUT CAUSING THEM TO SHATTER MAKING THEM INOPERABLE SO THAT OCCUPANTS ARE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAK AND ALLOW UNFILTERED EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE CABIN. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AT CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. BOLTS INSTALLED ARE 8MM INSTEAD OF THE STANDARD 10MM.

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF THE CAR AFTER REGULAR USE. MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SOMEONE OPENING IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE PLASTIC THAT MAKES UP THE DOOR HANDLE BREAKS APART BECAUSE IT WAS POORLY MADE. THIS WOULD BE EXTREMELY DEADLY IF IT HAPPENED TO SOMEONE DURING A FIRE IN THE CAR.

THE INSIDE PLASTIC AROUND ALL DOOR HANDLES IS CRACKED AND BROKEN. I'M FINDING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND CAN BE DANGEROUS AS IT EFFECTS THE HANDLES AND BEING ABLE TO GET OUT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. I, MYSELF, HAVE PROBLEMS OPENING THE BACK DOORS. AND NOW THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLE IS ABOUT TO BREAK

I STOP THE TRANSMISSION START LIKE SLIDE AND THEN 3 TO FOUR MINUTES A LOT OF SMOKE ON MY HOOD I STOP OPEN THE HOOD IT WAS OIL EVERYWARE I WAS SCARE I THINK MY CHAROKEE GOT FLAMES SO RUN TO A HOUSE
