My interior handles on all 4 doors have been cracked for years but now they are completely crumbled. at first, i had to open the door for passengers in the rear seats, then, whomever was in my passenger seat, they had to wait for me to go around & open the door for them. they could not get out from the inside. it was a hassle but i mostly drive alone, so i tolerated it. as of yesterday, i now have to open my window, (drivers side), to open my door from the outside because it's crack to the point, that i can't open my door from the inside any longer. it's a very unsafe situation. if i was in an accident & needed to get out i wouldn't be able to. years ago, the jeep dealership in clearwater, fl. was going to replace door panels, to replace the handles, but the district mgr that ok'd was transferred & the new district mgr. refused. this is unacceptable, could be a matter of life & death. i'm hoping & praying you will do something to remedy this. if not, i'm thinking of calling the local news. all 4 interior door opening handles have cracked, broken & crumbled. door handles are totally inoperable. this is a dangerous safety issue ' in an emergency situation driver & passengers will not be able to exit the vehicle, causing serious injury or death! manufacturer safety recall warranted!
Takata recall
Took vehicle to pep boys to check due to the fact i was having trouble turning key in the ignition and it continued to give me problems then the key became stuck in the ignition. a locksmith had to be called to pep boys to fix the ignition. i had to pay $200. then it was told to me that i needed a starter, which totaled $644. wanted to know if i get this money refunded to me. i have receipts. and also a repair done about 2 years ago related to the recall.
Takata recall all 4 of my doors have broken handles to let you open the door from the inside. all plastic has broken. it started about a month ago one at a time. it's a huge safety issue do to the fact than a passenger or all passengers may not be able to exit do to the faulty plastic. fire, accident or whatever the reason i'm not comfortable letting my friends ride in my car as well as myself. this should have a recall because i'm seeing many jeep owners with the same problem. *lease make this a recall do to safety issues. thanks
While driving all the instrument / gage lights came on then went off several times, while this was going on the vehicle speedometer and tachometer went to zero stayed for a few seconds , long enough for me to pull to the side of the road, then resumed operating. not sure if direction lighting was responding on exterior of vehicle at the time. or head lights, as it was daytime. i had difficulty getting people to acknowledge as it's generally a very busy road traveled. meridian rd puyallup wa.
As i was leaving a shopping center about 40 miles away from my house my jeep and as i entered onto the interstate the jeep acted like i was having a flat tire with the steering wheel shaking and giving me a lot of vibration and the flop flop sound you get from a flat tire. i stopped and got out but no flat tire, loose lug nuts or anything i could find. put flashers on and headed up the road slowly not going over 45 mph. it finally quit and i was able to increase speed. it continues to have this wobble sound along with the steering wheel shaking off and on. i did some research and the only thing matched what happen was the jeep death wobble. some vehicles have had a recall on this but i don't see any for my year.
Driving down the road, the and and traction control lights come on while driving and tranny doesn't shift causing loss of brakes and revving of engine
The skid plate that holds the gas tank is rusted thru and need replaced. this seems to be a common design flaw.
Brake booster fail and, i have replace. this cost me part only $219 plus labor $180.00. this should be considered as recall since is not brake pads issue.
While driving my jeep the engine light came on. i immediately pulled over and telephoned my mechanic not sure if i should continue driving it. my mechanic thought that it would be okay to drive it the short distance i had left and to bring in into his garage. my mechanic checked out the vehicle at length and could not find anything. when he thought he had it fixed the engine light came back on. my mechanic brought it to the dealer in norwich,, ny and they determined it was part of the computer system. i just got my jeep back after a $972.00 bill. is this something that typically goes wrong; have others had issues with this; was it safe etc.?

Ok i'm fully aware my vehicle is under 3 recalls well technically speaking 2 cause ones a recall on the recall waiting for that recall to be recalled. this whole process is insane my vehicle has turned off while driving has unparked itself shifted on its own had the lights flicker i have even been pulled over mutiple times for these problems twice when the jeep decided it was gonna stop accelerating 3 times because the lights start flickering sometime just inside sometimes just the outside and most recently all the lights just stopped working vehicle still running made it about 10 feet after the lights went out and sure enough before i could even pull of tbe road blue lights i've had the vehicle less then 60 days it's stalled while sitting still it's stalled while driving it's shut off while idle and while driving. its shifted on its own while driving and idle most recently i was checking the transmission fluid with the car in park in my driveway the support arms are dead so i used my handy dandy block o wood to hold it open well i pull the dipstick from the transmisson it was a little low so i turn around to grab my funnel and a bottle of fluid and i before i can even turn all the way around my parked car is rolling towards me and so i didnt get pinned between my jeep and my shed i tired to step into the vehicle to prevent my legs from getting stuck well i'm pretty tall and my head hit he hood witch lifted it slightly and my block o wood fell out witch lead to the hood pushing my face into the running car luckily a busted flip and a slight burn to my neck was all that happened now i understand that a block o wood is not standard safety equipment and i understand that a car rolling in netural a couple feet will more then likely not pin anyone but all i knew was the parked car was moving i didn't know if it was gonna speed up or what i need more room

Interior door handles are broken and you cannot get out of car. car was in driveway. this is an one going issue with jeep and they are not doing a safty recall
The inside plastic around all door handles is cracked and broken. i'm finding this is a common problem and can be dangerous as it effects the handles and being able to get out in case of emergency. i, myself, have problems opening the back doors. and now the passenger front door handle is about to break
I purchased a 2005 jeep grand cherokee on 10/14/2017 and on 10/20/2017 on my way from droping my kid off ,coming home my car started to run sluggish so getting off the highway it caught on fire.was there ever a recall on this car, so i look on the internet and found out that a recall involves 2005 .that the transmission fluid will get too hot cause it boil and eject some of the fluid could come into contact with a hot part of the exhaust and cause an engine according to jeep recall grand cherokee over fire danger web site. **see also 11053735**

A lot of owners of the jeep grand cherokee are experiencing the same problem with the dim head lights and trouble starting the car . the car simply won't start you have to crank it about 20 times . the car will sometimes turn off while driving in the road
Multiple times a day, the vehicle is shutting off while driving! the speedometer randomly drops to zero and the steering wheel locks up and the car shuts off! for this reason, i am scared to drive on the highway in fear that it will cause a major accident. also, it will not turn back on immediately. i have to let it sit for around 5 minutes before it will turn back on.
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.
Getting indications that elect- brake problem indications, skid control indications, and air conditioner not working.
Indoor handles are all broken. safety issue can't get out of the car from the inside.
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.
My interior handles on 3 of the 4 doors have broken and i cannot open my doors from the inside. the plastic that was utilized in the design and making of the handle became brittle and now has broken. this started to occur years ago with the passenger front and back interior handle and most recently with the driver side front which now i have to wind the window down to open the door from the outside which is a huge safety issue if i should get into a car wreck or something of this nature. the cost in getting this issue fixed is unaffordable to me.
This model grand cherokee has the same problem as the 07-and up. the wireless ignition module fails. i have been stranded 5 times, that's 5 tows- the dealership originally thought i was part of that recall, but had to back track. i was told "it's not broken enough" it is the same exact part as the p57 recall for the 07, so why not for the 05? there are numerous complaints from customers regarding this issue and the dealerships telling us to go away after we spend money on parts that are clearly not the issue.
Headlamps flashing intermitttently while driving at night. potential accident waiting to happen. veru distracting to me as well as oncoming traffic
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.
Plastic around the door handle cracked. handle is dangling. very dangerous. if the handle snaps my family and i could be trapped in the vehicle. many complaints on line with same circumstances. there is no recall. which is ridiculous. dealer wants 850$ to fix problem. outrageous. if someone gets trapped in vehicle, someone can die. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
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.
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.
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
Door handles on rear doors completely broken off. in an emergency, my child could not get out of the car. the car was parked and the doors would not open from the inside. if the car was in a more serious emergency...flood, fire, crash, anyone in the backseat could not get out of the vehicle.
The key for my vehicle will no longer work. the buttons will not unlock the jeep. when trying to unlock the vehicle, i have to unlock with the physical key, then experience the alarm going off to get into the car. this has been occurring for over the last year. changing the battery does not help.
Clicking in dashboard upon start of vehicle for approximately 2 minutes straight. i have been told there are many other jeep owners dealing with the same issue. it comes from the heater fan area. i was told by a mechanic "its working now, its going to be expensive when it goes, as it's like $1000.00 to take the dash off".
While driving the vehicle in drive it slips into gear 3 by itself and when i attempt to accelerate its in limp mode. i always have to pull to the side and shut the vehicle on and restart it several times before it actually shift the ( d ) drive.

The speakers are made cheap plastic that the magnet on back falls off. the interior door handles are easily to break due to plastic very brittle all 4 doors are broke making it difficult to open doors. also the transmission will sputter as if i'm running out of gas. while driving the connection from air control knob has burned out air only blows on high. also the part that switches form cold to heat ,the plastic gears wore down now will now switch over .. over all these vehicles are over priced for all the cheap plastic parts that are used. i have read the interior door handles were trying to get on recall list but guess it didn't make it . unable to select a date this all happened but it been over the years starting in 2007

Brought vehicle in for oil change (only oil change). jeep dealer gave back vehicle back with a new ignition stating there was a recall on it without me asking or authorizing them to do so. now i have a new ignition that is not flush with the dash (sticks out about half an inch) and does not work properly with my original keys. my keys are extremely difficult to go in and out of the ignition and on 2 separate occasions the key was unable to be removed from the ignition resulting in the acc being left on overnight and being forced to take vehicle to dealer in the morning with a dead battery. dealer states i need to purchase a new key because my keys are original and the ignition they replaced is brand new and are not synced up. the service manager told me it is my problem to purchase new keys for the jeep that had no issues prior to them replacing the ignition. called jeep customer service and they told me i would be given a new key but than put me on hold for 20 minutes and told me it is actually my responsibility to purchase a new key after they changed out my ignition.
Front passenger door handle cracked / vech. has approx 60k miles little use for a 2005
All 4 of my interior door handles have cracked around the door handle itself. the plastic supporting the door handles has broken leaving the door handle useless. there have been numerous complaints with the same issue around the 2005 jeep grand cherokee and a recall should have been issued. god forbid a fire occurs the passengers in the car would not be able to exit the vehicle from the inside!!!!!
