UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ALL 4 OF MY DOOR HANDLE PANELS ARE CRACKED AND BROKEN. THE BACK DOORS R SO BAD YOU CAN'T OPEN THEM TO GET OUT. IT'S GRADUALLY HAPPENED OVERTIME. WE HAVE ONLY HAD OUR JEEP FOR 1 YEAR AND 5 MONTHS. IT GETS WORSE EVERY TIME WE USE IT OBVIOUSLY AND IT'S OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. HOPE YOU CAN HELP. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN WITH A JEEP VEHICLE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE FIXED. THANKS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN I'M DRIVING WHILE IN MOTION IN A STRAIGHT LINE ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH LIGHTS FLICKER AND MY AC STUTTERS ON AND OFF AND THEN ALL POWER STOPS AND MY BRAKES MORE OR LESS LOCK UP BUT NOT ALL THE WAY BUT THE ENGINE STILL RUNS .... I'M NOT SURE IF THE WINDOWS STOP WORKING OR NOT BUT ITS BEEN HAPPENING A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMS LIKE ITS GOING TO NEED A TOW TRUCK BUT WHEN I PULL OVER OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT RESETS ITS SELF MY JEEP ONLY HAS 78,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE IT WAS SITTING IN STORAGE FOR 6 YEARS WHILE I WAS OUT OF THE STATES SO IT DID NOT GET DRIVEN AND THE DEALERSHIP TOOK IT AND CHANGED ALL BELTS FLUIDS AND GAVE IT A CHECKUP BEFORE I DROVE IT AGAIN

POWER TRAIN
DEAR RECIPIENT, I AM REACHING OUT TO MAKE OTHERS AWARE OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY FAMILY'S 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, ONE OF MY MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE GEARS FROM PARK TO NATURAL. THE SUV WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A SLIGHT DECLINE IN SLOPE. DUE TO THE DECLINE AND THE VEHICLE BEING IN NEUTRAL IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS WITH MY FAMILY MEMBER INSIDE. WE WERE CLEANING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT SO ALL THE DOORS WERE OPEN. THE JEEP PICKED UP SPEED, HIT OUR FENCE, AND ROLLED OUT ONTO A PUBLIC ROAD AND INTO OUR NEIGHBOR'S YARD. LUCKY NOBODY WAS HURT, EXCEPT FOR THE JEEP. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY OR OTHER CIVILIANS AROUND THE SCENE. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH MY JEEP, ONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN MADE INTO A RECALL WITHOUT FIXES. THIS RECALL IS ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH GOING FROM ON TO OFF WHILE DRIVING. I CAN SAY FROM EXPERIENCE THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN; YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL YOUR VEHICLE BESIDES HAVING BRAKES. YOU LOSS POWER STEERING AND EXPERIENCE ENGINE FAILURE IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY TRAFFIC. BESIDES THAT RECALL, THE DRIVETRAIN BEING ABLE TO BE SWITCH IN A PARKED POSITION WITHOUT THE KEYS BEING IN THE IGNITION IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING, WHICH COULD HAVE KILLED MY SON, OR OTHERS AROUND. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING SAFE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN, AND THAT HAS FALLEN VERY SHORT FROM EXPECTATIONS . I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE VEHICLE ISSUES CAN BE SWEPT ASIDE; I MIGHT AS WELL KEEP MY OLD VEHICLE MADE IN 1984. PLEASE TAKE THESE COMMENTS INTO CONSIDERATION AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT IN THE BACK SEAT IS TIGHTENED TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING USABLE. THE PLASTIC LOCK THAT PREVENTS THE SEAT BELT FROM RETRACTING TOO FAR BROKE OFF WHILE USING THE 40/60 SPLIT FEATURE. UPON ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL MODEL YEAR CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS IS ALSO THE ONLY SEAT BELT COMPLIANT FOR CHILD CAR SEATS SO TO HAVE IT NOT WORKING IS A SAFETY CONCERN.
