SEATS
RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE DRIVER SEAT BOUNCES. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX IT. IT IS THE CLOTH BUCKET SEAT WITH POWER ADJUSTMENT. THE FRONT ADJUSTING GEAR OF THE SEAT HAS STRIPPED AND A SPRING NOW BOUNCES THE SEAT.

IGNITION KEY FAILURE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH LOCKS. VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT FREQUENT AND IN FREQUENT TIMES. VEHICLE SEEMS TO THINK THAT THERE IS A KEY IN THE IGNITION. DEALER HAS LOOKED AT AND REPLACED ON PREVIOUS RECALL. PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND VEHICLE WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ISSUE! VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND STATIONARY. DOES NOT START WHEN KEY IS INSERTED AND VEHICLE IS PARKED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE STARTS UP GREAT NO ISSUES, THEN WITHIN 5 SECONDS CUTS IT'S SELF OFF. NO SPUTTERING OR CHOKING, IT'S NOT STALLING, THE COMPUTER IS TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 1 OUT OF 3 TIMES STARTING IT AND SOMETIMES IF YOU KEEP STARTING IT IT WILL EVENTUALLY STAY IN, BUT OTHER TIMES IT LEAVES YOU STRANDED. THERE ARE 100S OF OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE BUT JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE PCM (OVER $2,000) REPAIR AND NOW WANT TO REPLACE 2 COMPONENTS FEEDING INTO THE PCM BC THE ISSUE PERSISTS BUT WON'T GUARANTEE THE FIX. I BELIEVE ME AND OTHERS DESERVE TO HAVE JEEP ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEPS, THAT LEAVES THEIR DRIVERS STRANDED AND VULNERABLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT8 ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS LEAVING A STORE AT NIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE JEEP THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR MY BRIGHT LIGHTS WAS ON I TRIED TO TURN THEM OFF NOTHING HAPPENED THEY WERE STUCK ON THEN I REALIZED I HAD NO TURN SIGNALS EITHER. WHEN I WENT INSIDE THE STORE THE BRIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I WENT AHEAD AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS AND MY BRIGHT LIGHTS STUCK ON ABOUT 10 MIN INTO MY DRIVE EVERYTHING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND I TURNED LEFT TO ENTER A HIGHWAY EVERYTHING INSIDE THE JEEP WENT BLACK I LOST ALL INTERIOR POWER GAUGES, INSTRUMENT PANEL, RADIO, AC, LIGHTS AND FANS THE JEEP STUTTERED BUT KEPT RUNNING WHEN THIS HAPPENED EVERYTHING CAME BACK ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. JUST NOW WHEN I WAS TAKING A LEFT TURN IT HAPPENED AGAIN EVERYTHING INSIDE THE JEEP DIED AGAIN AND CAME BACK ON ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY IGNITION RECALL DONE ALSO SINCE THE RECALL WAS DONE HALF THE TIME WHEN I TRY TO START THE JEEP IT WILL JUST MAKE A CLICKING SOUND AND I HAVE TO TURN IT OVER A FEW TIMES AND HOLD THE KEY IN THE START POSITION UNTIL IT WILL FINALLY START.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SPEED CONTROL ACCELERATION. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE RETURNING FROM VACATION, CRUISE WAS SET AT 70MPH. WHEN APPROACHING A SLOWER VEHICLE, CRUISE WAS DEACTIVATED AND REACTIVATED WHEN PASS WAS COMPLETED. WHEN REACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 YEARS AGO AND EVER SINCE I TEST THE CRUISE CONTROL THE PROBLEM OF OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION PERSISTS. THE OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION CAN BE STOPPED BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKES OR MANUALLY TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THEY CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT THE CAUSE IS. I CANNOT EVEN DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL WITHOUT EFFECTING OTHER ELECTRONICS. I AM AFRAID TO ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THEY WOULD UNKNOWING USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKED AND BROKEN THE INTERIOR COMPONENT (INVOLVING THE HANDLE MECHANISM). THE RR HANDLE IS UNUSABLE AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. THE ADDITION INTERIOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED BUT REMAIN USABLE AT THIS TIME BUT WILL SOON FAIL. THE DESIGN OF THIS MODEL AS WELL AS SIMILAR JEEP MODELS IS A COMMON FAILURE. THIS CAN BE CONSIDERED A POTENTIAL SAFETY FAILURE IF THE HANDLE COMPLETELY FAILS AND PASSENGERS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR RESULTING IN INJURY OR EVEN DEATH DURING AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL, THE VEHICLE LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD, HEADLIGHTS AND THE AIR CONDITIONER STOP WORKING AND GAUGES ALSO CANNOT SEE ANYTHING OR READ SPEED LIMIT, GAS GAUGE GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY! THE LIGHT ALSO FLICKER ON AND OFF AND ALL LIGHT SYMBOLS APPEAR ON, AND THEN ONLY LIGHTS ON ESP BAS LIGHT! I AM AFRAID BECAUSE OF ALL POTENTIAL DANGERS OF HAVE. NO LIGHTS ON CAN HAVE, I DRIVE THE CAR WITH MY 3 CHILDREN AND WOULD HATE FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE FLICKERING ALSO HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET, AM AFRAID OF GETTING PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ON AND OFF BEHIND THEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN MY LOCAL SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 6 MILES, MY VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKED ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND STARTED BEEPING. I GOT REALLY SCARED SO I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN, AND THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOW ON. I IMMEDIETELY TOOK IT TO MY TRUSTWORTHY MEHANIC AND THAT IT WHEN HE TOLD ME THE CODE READER WAS GIVING AN ERROR CODE OF U1411 IGNITION SWITCH. I DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT MY VEHICLE FITS THE DESCRIPTION (YEAR/MAKE/MODEL) OF A RECALL THAT WAS DONE ON JEEPS 2006-2007 FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES.
