UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY HUSBAND WENT TO EXIT THE VEHICL AND THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE. WE ARE NOW NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF THIS. VERY CHEAPLY MADE AND FALLING APART PRIOR TO COMPLETELY BREAKING OFF. DOOR IS NOW UNUSABLE UNTIL I PAY A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE REPAIRED!! THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT!! IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES THE SAME AS THE INTERIOR PLASTICS OF THE ACTUAL HANDLE ARE ALREADY COMPLETELY BROKEN OUT. THE PIECES LITERALLY CRACK AND FALL OUT! THE ONLY FIX AT THE DEALER IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL AND A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH. MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO NOW THIS IS AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE SINCE CHRYSLER DECIDED TO USE CHEAP AND UNRELIABLE PARTS. THE DOOR HANDLE PIECE IS REPLACEABLE FROM AN AUTO PARTS STORE. THEY ARE $140.00 EACH PLUS LABOR FOR SOMEONE TO DO THE WORK. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!! IN DOING RESEARCH THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THIS IS HAPPENING TO!!!

POWER TRAIN
I TOOK MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ( 63000 MILES ) TO THE DEALERS FOR THE N23 RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER,SO THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF AND ROLL AWAY. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CODE; SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM APPEARED ON THE DASH. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR A DIFFERENT RECALL, I TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK IF THE REFLASH HAD CAUSED THIS ERROR CODE. JUST LIKE I HAVE READ ON JEEP FORUM AND ONLINE NEWS ARTICLES, THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE N23 RECALL. THEY WANTED $350.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM,PLUS LABOR AND PARTS TO REPAIR THE CAR. I BELIEVE THE ANTIOCH JEEP DEALERSHIP KNOWS THAT THE RECALL REPROGRAMMING OF THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER SHOWED THAT THERE IS A CRACKED CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE UNIT AND THAT IT IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM IN OVER 250,000 CARS. I WOULD ASK YOUR HELP IN BRING THIS PROBLEM OUT INTO THE OPEN,SO ALL CAR OWNERS IN MY SITUATION,ARE NOT ASKED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. ALSO I ASK THAT YOU HELP US MAKE THE JEEP CORPORATION STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, DO THE RIGHT THING, AND MAKE THIS REPAIR FREE THROUGH A NEW RECALL. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
