2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

DOOR HANDLES ON ALL INTERIOR DOORS HAVE BROKEN AND BECOME UN-USEABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS AS PASSENGERS HAVE TO BE LET OUT OR OPEN WINDOWS AND TRY TO OPEN DOOR FROM OUTSIDE , IF THERE WAS A FIRE OR WATER HAZARD THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO ESCAPE AS ELECTRICS WOULDNT ALLOW WINOWS TO OPEN , IM AFRAID TO TRAVEL WITH MY KIDS AND PRICE TO FIX IS OVER $3000.00 AND NO ONE WANTS TO FIX THEM , EVEN IF I SAY ILL PAY ITS REDICULOUS, DANGEROUS AND OUT RIGHT FRAUD . JEEP NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE AS THE DANGER TO LIFE IS MASSIVE AND THERE IS 100,000 VECHILES WITH THIS PROBLEM. JUST THE BROKEN PARTS CAN CUT PEOPLE, NOT RELIZING IT . HAPPENED BY NORMAL USE ACTUALLY LESS THAN NORMAL USE AS REAR PASSANGER DOORS FAILED FASTER THEN FRONT AND OVER THE YEARS HAD 3/4 LESS USAGE THAN FRONT AS I USE IT EVERDAY.

I ALSO HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LMTD AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL IS BROKEN AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE. THE DOOR HANDLE IS HANGING ON BY THE CABLES. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR OVER 2 YEARS. THE ONLY REASON THE OTHER DOOR INTERIOR PANELS HAVEN'T BROKEN YET IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE RARELY USED. I DO NOT KNOW WHY JEEP HAS NOT BEEN SUPPORTIVE ENOUGH TO HAVE A RECALL TO REPLACE ALL 4 DOOR PANELS SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CHEAP PLASTIC THAT WAS USED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I COULD GET MY DOOR OPEN IN A CRASH.

ALL DOOR PANEL ARE BROKEN (FRONT AND REAR) AND IT'S DIFFICULT AND HARD FOR A DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO OPEN IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

JEEP WAS PARKED AND WHEN RETURNED TO START , A LOT OF CLANKING IN ENGINE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND WAS TOLD A VALVE SEAT DROPPED AND THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REPLACED.

BOUGHT USED 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FROM KENDALL CJD IN MIAMI ON JUNE 10TH. ON SEPT 28TH I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO GET A DRINK AND JEEP WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD I DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND BLEW A HOLE IN THE #4 PISTON....WHAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN HAPPEN. THIS JEEP ONLY HAD 72,000 MILES AND I PAID A PREMIUM BECAUSE OF THAT.

THE PLACTIC CUP THAT HOLD THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN ON ALL 4 OF MY DOORS MAKING THE 2 BACK DOORS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE FRONT 2 DOORS WILL BE UNABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE... MAKING THIS A SAFETY HAZARD IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT WHERE YOU NEED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE
