2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I WAS NOTIFIED NOV 2014 THAT MY IGNITION SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE. I RECEIVED 3 SUBSEQUENT NOTICES BUT COULD NOT GET THE DEALERSHIP TO RESPOND TO MY REQUESTS FOR SERVICE. FINALLY IN FEB 2016 THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THEY HAD THE PARTS AND WOULD DO THE WORK. ORIGINALLY WE HAD 3 WORKING IGNITION KEYS. AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETE WE ONLY HAD 1 USABLE KEY. WHEN WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE OTHER 2 KEYS THEY CHARGED $109.95 TO PROGRAM A "MANUAL KEY" . I WAS STUCK WITH THE BILL AND A SECOND ELECTRONIC KEY THAT STILL DOESN'T WORK. THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER ELECTRONIC KEY (ONE WITH PANIC BUTTON, DOOR OPEN/ LOCK AND TRUNK LOCK). THIS REPLACEMENT WOULD RUN BETWEEN $200 - $400.

ALL 4 OF MY DOOR HANDLE PANELS ARE CRACKED AND BROKEN. THE BACK DOORS R SO BAD YOU CAN'T OPEN THEM TO GET OUT. IT'S GRADUALLY HAPPENED OVERTIME. WE HAVE ONLY HAD OUR JEEP FOR 1 YEAR AND 5 MONTHS. IT GETS WORSE EVERY TIME WE USE IT OBVIOUSLY AND IT'S OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. HOPE YOU CAN HELP. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN WITH A JEEP VEHICLE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE FIXED. THANKS.

WHILE DRIVING 7 MPH DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET GOING STRAIGHT AND HAVING THE RIGHT OF WAY ANOTHER DRIVER IGNORED STOP SIGN AND DROVE INTO MY JEEP WITH A FORCE AND SENT THE JEEP TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. AIR BAGS NEVER INFLATED, AND DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT LOCK WITH REMOTE ANY LONGER AND CAR LOOSES LIGHT, AND ENTIRE DASH BOARD, AC AND HEAT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. NATION WIDE INSURANCE IS ACTUALLY REFUSES TO PAY AND TELL ME ITS NOT CRASH RELATED, JUST PAYING FOR OBVIOUS CRASH DAMAGE. SEE ALSO ODI 10875399. *DSY ..UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF UPDATED 06/15/18*JB

WHEN I'M DRIVING WHILE IN MOTION IN A STRAIGHT LINE ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH LIGHTS FLICKER AND MY AC STUTTERS ON AND OFF AND THEN ALL POWER STOPS AND MY BRAKES MORE OR LESS LOCK UP BUT NOT ALL THE WAY BUT THE ENGINE STILL RUNS .... I'M NOT SURE IF THE WINDOWS STOP WORKING OR NOT BUT ITS BEEN HAPPENING A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMS LIKE ITS GOING TO NEED A TOW TRUCK BUT WHEN I PULL OVER OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT RESETS ITS SELF MY JEEP ONLY HAS 78,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE IT WAS SITTING IN STORAGE FOR 6 YEARS WHILE I WAS OUT OF THE STATES SO IT DID NOT GET DRIVEN AND THE DEALERSHIP TOOK IT AND CHANGED ALL BELTS FLUIDS AND GAVE IT A CHECKUP BEFORE I DROVE IT AGAIN

DEAR RECIPIENT, I AM REACHING OUT TO MAKE OTHERS AWARE OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY FAMILY'S 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, ONE OF MY MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE GEARS FROM PARK TO NATURAL. THE SUV WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A SLIGHT DECLINE IN SLOPE. DUE TO THE DECLINE AND THE VEHICLE BEING IN NEUTRAL IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS WITH MY FAMILY MEMBER INSIDE. WE WERE CLEANING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT SO ALL THE DOORS WERE OPEN. THE JEEP PICKED UP SPEED, HIT OUR FENCE, AND ROLLED OUT ONTO A PUBLIC ROAD AND INTO OUR NEIGHBOR'S YARD. LUCKY NOBODY WAS HURT, EXCEPT FOR THE JEEP. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY OR OTHER CIVILIANS AROUND THE SCENE. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH MY JEEP, ONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN MADE INTO A RECALL WITHOUT FIXES. THIS RECALL IS ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH GOING FROM ON TO OFF WHILE DRIVING. I CAN SAY FROM EXPERIENCE THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN; YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL YOUR VEHICLE BESIDES HAVING BRAKES. YOU LOSS POWER STEERING AND EXPERIENCE ENGINE FAILURE IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY TRAFFIC. BESIDES THAT RECALL, THE DRIVETRAIN BEING ABLE TO BE SWITCH IN A PARKED POSITION WITHOUT THE KEYS BEING IN THE IGNITION IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING, WHICH COULD HAVE KILLED MY SON, OR OTHERS AROUND. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING SAFE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN, AND THAT HAS FALLEN VERY SHORT FROM EXPECTATIONS . I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE VEHICLE ISSUES CAN BE SWEPT ASIDE; I MIGHT AS WELL KEEP MY OLD VEHICLE MADE IN 1984. PLEASE TAKE THESE COMMENTS INTO CONSIDERATION AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WHEN DRIVING TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY SHIFTING INTO PROPER GEARS. THE TRANSMISSION IS SOUNDING AS IF IT IS STRUGGLING TO SHIFT INTO THE GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MANY YEARS. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL DRIVING AREAS, HILLS, FLAT ROADS, SHORT TRIPS, LONG TRIPS. BEGAN 2011.
