2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKED AND BROKEN FROM REGULAR WEAR. REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOW ONLY OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE 2005-2006 OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPEN.

AIR BAG DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON AFTER STARTUP. I TOOK THE JEEP IN TO TEXAN : JEEP AT 18555 59 N HUMBLE, TEXAS 77338 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT ON 9/03/16.THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COMMUTICATING WITH THE PCM AND THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. SO IT WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. INSTEAD THEY PREFORMED 3 OTHER SAFTEY RECALLS THEY SAID THE JEEP NEEDED BUT AIR BAG PROBLEM THE WOULD NOT FIX.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WITH 3.7 LITER MOTOR SHOWS ALL FOUR GEARS PARK NEUTRAL REVERSE AND DRIVE "PRND" ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE CHECK ENGINE OBDII CODE U0103 (CAN BUS COMMUNICATION LOST WITH THE SHIFTER). THIS CONDITION REOCCURS EVERY 1 TO 7 DAYS APPROXIMATELY. WHILE IN THIS MODE THE VEHICLE IS IN LIMP MODE STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE WITH THIS CONDITION ON BACK ROADS BUT IT WILL CLEAR AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MILES IN LIMP MODE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WITH THIS CONDITION PRESENT. IT CLEARED WHILE THEY WERE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO REPEAT WHILE DRIVING IT WITH MY PERMISSION FOR THREE WEEKS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK AFTER THREE WEEKS AT DEALESHIP AND PROBLEM REOCCURRED AFTER TWO DAYS OF DRIVING. TRYING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU CANNOT EXCEED ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR CAUSING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON ROADS WITH SPEED LIMITS HIGHER THAN 30 MPH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME I AM STUCK WITH A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW KEY NEEDED TO BE MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,219.

"TAKATA RECALL" I PURCHASED A JEEP FOR 7,500. PUT 3,000 DOWN AND FINANCED THE REST. NEXT DAY, THE AXLE BOOT WAS BROKE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED IT. AT THAT TIME, I REALIZED THEY GAVE ME A 29% FINANCE RATE. SO I BOUGHT THEY VEHCILE RIGHT OUT BY WRITING A CHECK FOR $4890. WITH ASKING IF THE VEHCILE HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES OR BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ANY SERIOUS ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WORK, I WAS PROMISED THE VEHCILE WAS IN GOOD STANDING CONDITION. NEXT DAY, WITH MY FIANCE AND MY 20 MONTH OLD SON IN THE NEWLY PURCHASED VEHCILE, HEADED OUT FOR A VACATION. ABOUT 10 MINS FROM OUR HOME AND THE AXLE THEY JUST REPLACEDON'T BROKE AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT. THE VEHCILE HAD NO EMERGENCY BRAKES AND NO HEAR, NOT EVEN PARK. I HAD TO PULL INTO A PERSON'S YARD AND DO DONUTS UNTIL IT STOPPED. GOT IT TOWED HOME AND CALLED THE BANK AND CANCELLED THE CHECK. NOW THE HAVE TOWED THE VEHCILE AWAY AND SAY I WRITE BAD CHECKS. YET I HAVE PAPERWORK FROM THE BANK SUPPORTING MY CANCELLATION ON THE CHECK AND RECORD OF FUNDS TO PURCHASE THE VEHCILE. SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE NOW. I DID PURCHASE "AS IS"....YET, THAT DOESN'T UPHOLD TO FRAUD AND WARRANTY OF MECHANISM ON THE VEHCILE.

MY TRANSMISSION KEEPS READING OVER TEMP BUT WHEN I CHECK EVERYTHING ON SAID VEHICLE THERE IS NO KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN IT. IT HAPPENS PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING RANDOMLY ANYWHERE

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON CHRYSLER SAYS THEY NEED TO BE FIXED AND DO NOT WORK ALSO THE BACKING OF THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE ALL CRACKED AND BROKE THE DOORS DO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE DUE TO THE BACKING THAT HOLDS THE DOOR HANDLES TOGETHER HAVE ALL CRACKED AND BROKE.
