Recalls and investigations
Electrical system, ignition, switchJul 21, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

A transfer case electrical failure may result in an unintentional shifting of the transfer case into the neutral position.
If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the final drive controller which governs the transfer case, with new software, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N23.

THIS REQUIRES, AT TIMES, THE DOOR TO BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPLACE AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE DEFECTIVE. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN DUE TO THE CHEAP PLASTIC AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS ALMOST FAILED AS WELL. I AM AFRAID THAT IN AN EMERGENCY, I AND MY PASSENGERS MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. I'VE BEEN READING ONLINE AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE, BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX THE DOORS.

I AM REPORTING A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN ABOUT 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED V8 HEMI INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES AS IT IS MADE OF VERY CHEAP PLASTIC AND I HAVE THE FOUR HANDLES RIPPED OFF ON MY VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOORS ARE FROM OUTSIDE. IN CASE OF EMERGENCY OR IF THE CAR IS DAMAGED WHERE I CAN NOT BRING DOWN THE WINDOWS I WILL BE STUCK INSIDE THE CAR. WHEN I TRIED TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PARTS I FOUND IT IS OUT OF STOCK AND BACKORDERED. IT MIGHT TAKE FEW MONTHS BEFORE I GET IT. THIS JUST SHOW HOW BIG IS THE PROBLEM AND HOW MANY CARS ARE INVOLVED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN APRIL 2010 SO I HAVE HAD IT FOR 5 MONTHS. IN THAT 5 MONTHS THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR HANDLE HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND FALLEN INTO THE DOOR, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR HAS CRACKED AND WILL BE COMPLETELY BROKEN SOON, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLE IS JUST BEGINNING TO CRACK SO THE ONLY ONE THAT REALLY WORKS 100% IS THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE. I HAVE AN EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY THAT WE PURCHASED AND WERE TOLD THE ONLY THING IT DIDN'T COVER WAS THE DVD PLAYER...WELL THEY LIED! ABOUT A MONTH AFTER WE BOUGHT THE JEEP WHILE DRIVING THE AC WOULD SHUT OFF AND EVERYTHING ON THE DASH WOULD START TO BLINK ON AND OFF AND THEN SUDDENLY STOP, I TOOK IT IN AND ALL THEY SAID WAS WE COULD NOT GET IT TO DO IT AGAIN. WE RECENTLY HAD THE REAR DIFFERENTIALS REPAIRED DUE TO THEM GOING OUT, THEY ACTUALLY COVERED THAT UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE ONLY OTHER ISSUE IS SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND IDLE THE JEEP WILL SEEM LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE BUT NEVER DOES. I ONLY HAVE 56000 MILES ON MY CAR AND HAVE OWNED IT 5 SHORT MONTHS AND HAVE HAD ALL OF THESE ISSUES, MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE DOOR HANDLES BECAUSE NOT ONLY CAN MY 3 KIDS NOT GET OUT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY, BUT WHERE THE PLASTIC HAS CRACKED IT HAS SHARP EDGES AND THEY COULD EASILY CUT THEIR HANDS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THAT HAPPENS! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE, AN INJURED CHILD????? *TR

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. 3 OF MY 4 HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF. JEEP CHARGES $700.00 TO REPLACE THIS.

TWO OF THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE BROKEN OFF AND ARE UNUSABLE. THE OTHER TWO ARE CRACKING AND I AM FEARFUL THEY WILL BE BREAKING OFF SOON. THE HANDLES AND THE SUPPORTING DOOR FRAMES ARE ALL CRACKING IN THE SAME LOCATION AND THE HANDLES THEN FALL OFF. THE MANUFACTURE HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO EVEN DISCUSS THE ISSUE. THE DEALER STATES IT IS $700 PER DOOR TO FIX. PARTS TO FIX THE DOOR HANDLES ARE UNAVAILABLE FOR SALE OUTSIDE THE DEALERSHIPS. DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE OF BEING UNABLE TO EXIT THE BACK SEAT AREA FROM THE INSIDE, I AM UNABLE TO ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEATS AT THIS TIME. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO EXIT THE CAR FROM THE INSIDE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS POSTED AS WELL AS A WEBSITE WHERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE STATING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THEIR 2005 JEEP. THERE WAS NOT ANY OUTSIDE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT CAUSED THIS DEFECT. THE DEALER STATES IT IS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY HAZARD. I HOPE YOU WILL ADDRESS AS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
