ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
RANDOMLY, MY CAR WOULDN'T START AND I WOULD THINK THAT THE BATTERY WENT DEAD. THEN, ANOTHER JEEP OWNER TOLD ME TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND JIGGLE THE SHIFTER, AND THAT IT SHOULD WORK. THIS WORKED AND AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF UTILIZING THIS WORK AROUND, THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING IN BETWEEN GEARS AS I WAS DRIVING. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS FISHTAILING, HOWEVER I WOULD SEE THE AUTO-STEERING AND ABS LIGHTS POP UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS LOSING CONTROL. I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS WHOM WOULD CHECK THE STARTER, REALIGN, DO MORE RANDOM TESTING AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. AFTER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND HOURS SPENT TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE, I EVENTUALLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS INDEED A MAJOR ISSUE, HOWEVER THE PART NEEDED TO CORRECT IT WAS UNAVAILABLE AND MORE NEEDED TO BE MANUFACTURED. IT ALSO STATED THAT I SHOULDN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT RENT A CAR UNTIL THE PART WAS AVAILABLE AND THAT THE COST WOULD BE REIMBURSED EVENTUALLY, ONCE A PART WAS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO RENT A CAR FOR AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME... AND THE PART REMAINED UNAVAILABLE FOR THE DURATION OF THE TIME THAT I OWNED IT. I TOOL IT TO A MECHANIC AT ONE POINT, EXPLAINED TO THEM ABOUT THE RECALL WHICH THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH, AND THEY REPLACED MY STARTER, HOPING THAT THIS WOULD MAKE THE CAR "SAFER" UNTIL THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. IT DID HELP, HOWEVER DID NOT RECTIFY THE ISSUE. BY THE TIME THE PART BECAME AVAILABLE, I HAD ALREADY SPENT THOUSANDS TRYING TO FIX IT AND HAD TRADED IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP WHEN I TOOK ON A LEASE. NOW IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY I SPENT TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE PRIOR TO THE PART BEING AVAILABLE AS THEY ARE ONLY WILLING TO REIMBURSE YOU FOR THE SPECIFIC RECALL ITSELF. MAYBE HAD I BEEN CALLING THEM FROM A HOSPITAL ROOM AS A RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT, THEY WOULD FEEL DIFFERENTLY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE TWO INTERIOR BACK DOOR HANDLES BROKE. MY TWO GRANDSONS, AGES 6 AND 9, ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT AND THEY DID NOT MISTREAT THEM. THEY EACH BROKE ABOUT AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN I WAS READING ONLINE ABOUT WHAT TO DO, I SAW THAT A HUGE NUMBER OF OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF WE WERE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE WE NEED TO VACATE THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. THEY WOULD BE TRAPPED. *TR

BRAKES "EXPLODED". NO PRIOR WARNING, SQUEAL, NOTHING. HAVE HAD THEM CHECKED AT DEALERSHIP ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO. SAME SIZE TIRES. GOING DOWN CITY STREET, LOUD POPPING SOUND, THEN SHORT GRINDING SOUND. SOUNDED LIKE BACK RIGHT REAR TIRE. HAD CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT SPRING HAD BROKEN, CAUGHT BRAKE CABLE, AND EVERYTHING CAME OFF IN PIECES "SHARDS OF METAL"

ENGINE
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ENGINE REVVED DOWN, PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY CALLED TOW TRUCK. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKE AND ENGINE WAS NO GOOD. REPLACING MOTOR DUE TO STILL HAVING A WARRANTY ON IT. HOPING THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE. I HAVE NOTICED ON FORUMS THAT HAS HAPPENED TO NUMEROUS OTHERS WONDERING WHY NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. OIL CHANGES WERE ALL ON TIME AND PLUGS AND WIRES CHANGED AT RECOMMENDED TIME. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AN ENGINE WITH 105000 MILES. *TR

TAKATA INFLATOR. I PURCHASED MY JEEP AND AFTER A FEW MONTHS I NOTICE IT KEPT GETTING STUCK IN 3RD. WOULDN'T COME OUT. THEN THE MESSAGE "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" WOULD POP UP. IT WOULD RANDOMLY JUST LOOSE ALL POWER AND CUT OFF AS I WOULD BE DRIVING. I HAD IT LOOKED AT. CHECKED THE CODES BC CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD POP UP ALSO. MULTIPLE CODES WERE IN THE HISTORY PERTAINING TO THE ISSUE. I WAS GOING TO GET EVERYTHING FIXED UNTIL I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT JEEP FIRST BC THERE MIGHT BE SOME RECALLS THAT OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING MY SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD OF PAID FOR IT REGARDLESS TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. IT HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS. MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO MCKINNEY DODGE IN EASLEY,SC. AFTER FIXING THE RECALLS I HAVE PAPERWORK FOR A FEW MONTHS LATER WAS DOING IT AGAIN. I WORK IN A SERVICE DEPT. SO I ASKED ONE MY TECHS IF IT WAS SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLS AND DID I NEED TO CALL DEALERSHIP BACK. THEY SAID YES. CALLED MCKINNEY AND THEY REFUSED TO SET ME AN APPOINTMENT AND SAID THE PROBLEMS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALLS THEY FIXED. AFTER HAVING SEVERAL TOWS AND STRANDED AND ALMOST WRECKING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND JUST DIES, I'M BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TELL ME HOW TO FIX. AFTER READING SEVERAL REVIEWS AND RECALL INFORMATION, MY ISSUES ARE EVERYTHING WITH MY RECALLS. MY AIRBAG LIGHT GO ON AND OFF ALSO. THEY NEVER TOUCHED THAT AND IT'S ALSO A RECALL. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO BC I'M NOT WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH BC THIS VEHICLE. IT'S MY ONLY CAR AND I'VE TRIED TO PAY MYSELF AND HAD RECALLS FIXED AND PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I'VE CONTACTED A LAWYER. I WANT IT FIXED OR I WANT ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAUSE OF FAILURE: INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS STRESS CRACKED AND IS BROKEN. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ABUSE, IMPACT DAMAGE OR AFTER MARKET MODIFICATIONS. **NOTE THAT THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE IS SERVICEABLE ONLY AS AN INTERIOR DOOR PANEL ASSEMBLY**CORRECTION: INSTALLED REPLACEMENT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY TO CORRECT CONCERN. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THE PLASTIC CUP BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLE CRACKED AND EVENTUALLY SHATTERED LEAVING SHARDS BEHIND THAT CUT MY HAND WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. THE REMAINING THREE DOOR HANDLES HAVE ALL DONE THE SAME THING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. EXITING THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WITH THE DOOR HANDLES NOT WORKING PROPERLY WOULD BE DELAYED, OR IN THE CASE OF A CHILD, IMPOSSIBLE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL: I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE. THE ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE POWERING DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE, OR IN USE. INJURIES WERE SUFFERED DUE TO THE AIRBAG'S NONE DEPLOYMENT. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND ATTEMPTING TO HAVE TWO RECALLS REPLACED, I WAS TOLD THERE PRESENTLY WAS NO AVAILABLE FIX, OR REPLACEMENT FOR RECALL P41. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN 2015 AT FITZPATRICK'S CHRYSLER JEEP (430 E MAIN STREET, ANSONIA, CT 06401 (203) 734-3318) FOR RECALLS P41(IGNITION SWITCH) & N23(POWERTRAIN TRANSFER CASE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). IN JANUARY OF 2012 WITH 37K ON THE VEHICLE THERE WAS THE FIRST OF TWO ACCIDENTS THAT RELATE TO RECALL P41. THIS ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO UNRESPONSIVE BRAKING AND STEERING, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY THE IGNITION SWITCH MOVING FROM THE ON POSITION TO THE OFF POSITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE, OR IN USE. THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE (RTE. 80 EAST HAVEN, CT) I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE. I USED BOTH FEET AND HANDS TO APPLY THE BREAKS, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY WRAPPING BOTH HANDS AROUND THE LOWER HALF OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND PULLING UPWARD WITH MY BICEPS TO APPLY ADDITIONAL DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TO THE BREAK PEDAL, BUT STILL I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND OUT POCKET COSTS FOR THIS ACCIDENT TOTAL OVER $7000 DOLLARS. THE SECOND ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN 2016. NOT REALIZING THE VEHICLE WAS OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP ON THE HIGHWAY (RTE.15 NO HAVEN, CT.), I HAD A COLLISION. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT SLAMMED MY FACE INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS DAZED AND CONFUSED, WONDERING, WHY HADN'T THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. AND, IN BOTH ACCIDENTS AIRBAGS WERE NEVER DEPLOYED. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

ENGINE
THE FAULTY VALVE SEATS FAILED AND DESTROYED MY ENGINE WHICH LEFT ME STRANDED WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN. ENGINEERS KNOW THE DESIGN WAS FAULTY AS REVISION TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION WERE MADE IN 2008 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR THE NEWER MODELS. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE EARLIER MODELS TO HAVE THE REVISED SEATS INSTALLED. THIS IS NEGLIGENT AND WILL HURT THE CHRYSLER NAME IF NOT ADDRESSED SOON. I HAD JUST PULLED OF THE HIGHWAY TO REFUEL WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. THE JEEP WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER FILLING THE TANK.

SEAT BELTS
BOTH FRONT SEATBELTS STOPPING ALLOWING THE BUCKLE TO BE LATCHED WITH INSERTING THE LATCH UNLESS I DEPRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT BEGAN ILLUMINATING AND CHIMING BUT THE BUCKLE WAS LATCHED. IF I MOVED THE LATCH WITHIN THE BUCKLE AT A CERTAIN ANGLE IT WOULD STOP BUT I'D HAVE TO HOLD IT THERE CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING OR HAVE THE PASSENGER DO THIS TASK. WHEN I AM STOPPED THE CHIMING STOPS BUT THE LIGHT STAY ON. THE CHIMING RESTARTS ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I LOOKED UP SEATBELT REPLACEMENTS AND THE DEALER CHARGES ABOUT $200 EACH FOR JUST THE BUCKLES. I WAS AMAZED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL AFTER RESEARCHING AND SEEING HUNDREDS OF POSTS JUST LIKE THIS ONE. HOW CAN THIS BE PETITIONED FOR A RECALL? DOES SOMEONE REALLY NEED TO BE KILLED BEFORE WE USE SOME COMMON SENSE HERE? PLEASE HELP. MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE $500 PLUS TO SPEND ON SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER FLAW. COMMON JEEP/CHRYSLER TIME TO STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING!! POSSIBLY FIRST AND LAST JEEP I BUY IF NO SOLUTION...

I WAS NOTIFIED NOV 2014 THAT MY IGNITION SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE. I RECEIVED 3 SUBSEQUENT NOTICES BUT COULD NOT GET THE DEALERSHIP TO RESPOND TO MY REQUESTS FOR SERVICE. FINALLY IN FEB 2016 THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THEY HAD THE PARTS AND WOULD DO THE WORK. ORIGINALLY WE HAD 3 WORKING IGNITION KEYS. AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETE WE ONLY HAD 1 USABLE KEY. WHEN WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE OTHER 2 KEYS THEY CHARGED $109.95 TO PROGRAM A "MANUAL KEY" . I WAS STUCK WITH THE BILL AND A SECOND ELECTRONIC KEY THAT STILL DOESN'T WORK. THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER ELECTRONIC KEY (ONE WITH PANIC BUTTON, DOOR OPEN/ LOCK AND TRUNK LOCK). THIS REPLACEMENT WOULD RUN BETWEEN $200 - $400.
