2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BROKE ON ALL 4 DOORS .THREE OUT OF 4 DOORS NO LONGER OPEN.I HAVE TO PUT DOWN MY WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE OR I HAVE SOMEONE OPEN IT FOR ME FROM THE OUTSIDE.I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE QUICKLY IF THERE IS EVER AN EMERGENCY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND HESITATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 280,000.

HATCHBACK FAILED TO STAY OPENED AND SLAMMED ON HAND. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. HAD HATCHBACK CYLINDER REPLACED AFTER FIRST TIME BY DEALER. NO INJURY FIRST TIME. SECOND TIME MEDICAL EXPENSES. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BOTH TIMES IN DRIVEWAY.

ALL OF OUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKED AND THE DRIVERS SIDE NO LONGER WORKS. EACH IS CRACKING IN THE SAME WAY LEADING ME TO BELIEVE IT IS AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM NOT JUST A REGULAR USE PROBLEM. WE CAN NO LONGER GET IN OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVERS POSITIION.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND IT, HAS ME SCARE OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN AND MY TRUCK DRIVES LIKE IT HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IT TAKES A WHILE CHANGING GEAR MY STEERING WHEEL MAKE A LOUD CLICKING SOUND AS I TURN.. WHILE DRIVING TURNING. THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK FROM DAY ONE.. *TR

REMEDY: CHRYSLER INTENDS TO REPAIR VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR). HOWEVER, THE PART REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO PROVIDE THE PART AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. ****THIS WAS 2014, NO UPDATES SO FAR AS TO PARTS BEING AVAILABLE. TWO YEARS IS NOT TIMELY.

THE CENTER BACK SEAT SEATBELT WILL NOT COME LOOSE. IT IS TIGHTENED AND WILL NOT RETRACT. I HAVE TO PUT MY SIX YEAR OLD ON THE LEFT PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE I CANNOT SEAT HER IN THE MIDDLE. IT'S CONCERNING IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, MY CHILD IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO MORE INJURIES SINCE I CANNOT PROPERLY SEAT HER IN THE MIDDLE SEAT IN THE BACK. ALSO, WHEN IT RAINS, THE CAR LEAKS INTO THE INSIDE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOMETIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. I SPOKE WITH MY COUSIN WHO ALSO OWNS A BRAND NEW JEEP AND EVEN HERS DOES THIS AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE CHANGING LANES AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

MY JEEP JUMPS TO THIRD GEAR RANDOMLY, AND IT ENDS UP JITTERING AND SHAKING. MY CAR GOT STUCK SO MANY TIMES AND ENDED UP BEING STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ONCE PARKED AND HAD SHIFTED TO DRIVE BUT INSTEAD THE JEEP SUDDENLY JUMPED TO 3RD AND MY CAR STARTED TO GO BACKWARDS AND ENDED UP HITTING ANOTHER CAR BEHIND ME. I HAD TO PAY THE GUY $500 AND ALSO GOT ALL THE FLUIDS AND OILS CHANGED IN HOPES OF GETTING THIS FIXED, BUT TO NO AVAIL. YESTERDAY, I SPENT $450 ON THESE FLUID AND OIL CHANGES ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CONTINUE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND JEEP HAS NO ANSWERS. YOU GUYS NEED TO DO A TOTAL VEHICLE RECALL SINCE JEEP HAS NO ANSWERS. MANY PEOPLE CAN DIE FROM THIS DEFECT. I HAVE A VIDEO TO PROVE THE CAR JUMPING TO THIRD AND ALL THE ISSUES I JUST DESCRIBED.

VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, WITH 4 ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR
