2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE DOOR HANDLES EASILY CRACK OFF OF THE DOOR PANEL WHICH PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM BEING ABLE TO BE OPENED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. AND IT CAN NOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL BEING REPLACED.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS BROKEN OFF AND SHATTERED BECAUSE OF THE BRITTLE PLASTIC SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS

MY JEEP 5.7L V8 WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL ON IGNITION AND COMPUTER FLASH FOR RECEIVER. WHILE THERE I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE TICKING NOISE COMING FROM MY MOTOR. I WAS ADVISED THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THIS MOTOR AND MILEAGE(88,000). THIS TICK KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND I SEE MOST 5.7S UP TO NOW STILL HAVE IT ,BEFORE THE LIFTERS RUIN A CRANKSHAFT. IS THE NHTSA GOING TO CORRECT THIS TRAVESTY OR HIDE BEHIND THEIR REPUTATION ,LIKE THE CRASH DUMMY NEXT TO THIS PAGE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,TOM [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

WELL MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF! I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY REASSURED ME THE AIRBAGS ARE THERE AND HAVEN'T BEEN DEPLOYED AT ALL. BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT THE LIGHT IS ON FOR A REASON EITHER THE SEATBELTS OR THE AIRBAGS ARE FAULTY. NO MATTER IF I'M PARKED OR IF I'M IN MOTION THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND I WANT TO BE SAFE AND SECURE THAT IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT I WON'T BE KILLED BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AS THEY SHOULD! I KNOW MY JEEP IS OLD BUT IT'S IN GOOD CONDITION I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I SEARCHED BY MY VIN AND IT HASN'T HAD A RECALL ABOUT THAT PROBLEM SO PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

WON'T SPEED UP AND WHEN IS DOES IT GETS JAMMED AND IT SHAKES AND WHEN I BREAK ITS SHAKES EVEN WHEN I TURN. I JUST BOUGHT IT AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT'S EITHER THE MOTOR MESSED UP OR THE COMPUTER. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'LL COST ME 3,000 I DON'T HAVE THAT. I SAVED UP FOR A HEAD TO BY IT. AND A MONTH AFTER I GOT IT IT'S MESSING UP. BUT WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND IT THREW NO CODES NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. IT TOOK ALL OF A MONTH TO BREAK DOWN ON ME. AND THE BATTERY WON'T STAY CHARGED THEY PUT IN A NEW BATTERY WHEN I FIRST GOT IT. THEN I HAD TO WARRANTY ANOTHER BECAUSE THAT ONE STOPPED WORKING. I JUST NEED HELP TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

EVERY DAY I CRANK UP MY JEEP I GIVE IT 5-10 MINS BEFORE I MOVE IT BECAUSE IT HAS THIS SHAKE OR VIBRATION TO IT REALLY BAD IT STOPS AND THEN ONCE I HAVE EXCEEDED 45-55 MPH AND START TO COME TO A STOP IT SHAKES THE ENTIRE FRONT END. NOW IF I'M BELOW 45 IT DON'T REALLY DO IT AS OFTEN! WHEN I TURN OR HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END RATTLED OR VIBRATING FROM IT! SOME DAYS WHEN I'M TRYING TO MAKE A U TURN IT SEEMS AS IF IT'S HAVING A HARD TIME TURNING! CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON AND OFF! HAD IT CHECKED NOTHING IS COMING UP INDICATING A MISFIRE OR ANYTHING! THE GAS MILEAGE SUCKS! GET A FULL TUNE UP AND IT WILL RUN BETTER SPENDING ALL MY MONEY AND IT'S STILL A PIECE OF CRAP! *TR
