THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY STARTED. TOOK THE JEEP TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE PART THAT IS NEEDED WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL DECEMBER. PART IS CALLED SKIM MODULE. PART IS VIN SPECIFIC. IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE? I USE THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK AND CANNOT BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 5 MONTHS. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR CHRYSLER CANNOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE DUE TO A PART AVAILABILITY AND LENGTH OF TIME. I HAVING PURCHASING CHRYSLER PRODUCTS FOR 30 YEARS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
TAKATA RECALL. MY JEEP RANDOMLY AND FREQUENTLY LOSES CONNECTION WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE, WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT GETS STUCK IN RANDOM GEARS AND IT WILL NOT MOVE FAST (SAFELY) WHEN I ACCELERATE UNLESS THE CAR IS RESTARTED BUT THEN IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I STOP, AND SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 05-10 MODEL YEARS THAT JEEP HAS SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AND IGNORED FOR YEARS. IT HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY CARS TRANSMISSION AND HAS MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED (5.7 HEMI). THE VEHICLE IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE FOR IT'S AGE EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THREE OF THE FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. THE ONLY HANDLE THAT ISN'T COMPLETELY BROKEN IS THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS HAS A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS ALSO HAS A HOLE AND ALMOST ALL OF THE PLASTIC HOUSING IS MISSING. FORTUNATELY, BOTH OF THESE DOOR HANDLES ARE STILL OPERATIONAL FROM THE INSIDE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS THE MOST DAMAGE AND ALTHOUGH OPERATIONAL, THERE IS ONLY ONE SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT IS HOLDING THE PIN THAT CONNECTS THE CABLE TO THE HANDLE. ONCE THE PIN FALLS OUT, THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER BE OPERATIONAL FROM THE INSIDE AND THE PLASTIC THAT IS CURRENTLY HOLDING IT IN PLACE IS EXTREMELY BRITTLE. THE WHOLE MECHANISM THAT OPENS THE DOOR IS EXPOSED THROUGH THE DOOR AND THE ACTUAL HANDLE NO LONGER IS SEATED WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED BE. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE DRIVER DOOR BECOMES INOPERABLE AND THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH "INTENDED ACCELERATION". TWICE THE ENGINE HAS GONE TO WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. FIRST TIME I HAD TIME TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. SECOND TIME I WENT FOR A VERY SURPRISING RIDE OVER A FOUR FOOT RETAINING WALL . IT LANDED ON THE GRASS WITHOUT TIPPING OVER. I HAVE PARKED THIS CAR AND HAVEN'T RUN IT UNTIL I KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND ANYWHERE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CRACKED AND BROKEN AND ARE UNUSABLE. THESE DOOR HANDLES ARE PRONE TO FAILURE. A SIMPLE SEARCH SHARES THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THIS 05-09 MODEL VEHICLE. IN THE EVENT OF FIRE, CRASH, WATER INTRUSION, ETC. OF THE VEHICLE, INSIDE OCCUPANTS ARE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE SAFELY, IF AT ALL. I AM LOOKING FOR SUPPORT IN REQUESTING CHRYSLER TO OFFER A RECALL AND CORRECTION FOR THIS SAFETY CONCERN.

AIR BAGS, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT IS CAUSING A RUMBLING AS YOU SPEED UP OR MAINTAIN SPEED. IT FEELS LIKE DRIVING OVER SMALL SPEED BUMPS OR RUBBLE STRIPS, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN THE ROAD. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT IS A LEAK IN THE OIL OF THE DRIVE SHAFT. IT IS ALSO A PRETTY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM TO FIX. JEEP AND MOPAR NEED TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. LIKE YESTERDAY.
