What owners report most often
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.

Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, through March 9, 2010; and 2006-2010 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, through March 10, 2010. 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.

Power train, automatic transmissionSep 14, 2005
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L ENGINES AND NAG1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CONDENSATE WATER MAY ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. THIS CAN RESULT IN SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT.
IT CAN LEAD TO INCREASED TRANSMISSION OPERATING TEMPERATURES, BOILING OF THE WATER, AND A SUBSEQUENT PURGING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION FOR LEAKAGE AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. IF NO LEAK IS DETECTED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR SHIELD WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF THE PRESENCE OF A LEAK IS DETECTED, THE VEHICLE WILL BE EVALUATED FOR SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER ENGAGEMENT. IF NO SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE TRIPLE FLUSHED, AND NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TORQUE CONVERTER WILL BE REPLACED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 31, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

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.

"TAKATA RECALL" ALL 4 OF MY DOORS HAVE BROKEN HANDLES TO LET YOU OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. ALL PLASTIC HAS BROKEN. IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO ONE AT A TIME. IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE DO TO THE FACT THAN A PASSENGER OR ALL PASSENGERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT DO TO THE FAULTY PLASTIC. FIRE, ACCIDENT OR WHATEVER THE REASON I'M NOT COMFORTABLE LETTING MY FRIENDS RIDE IN MY CAR AS WELL AS MYSELF. THIS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL BECAUSE I'M SEEING MANY JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *LEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL DO TO SAFETY ISSUES. THANKS

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.

WHILE DRIVING ALL THE INSTRUMENT / GAGE LIGHTS CAME ON THEN WENT OFF SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE THIS WAS GOING ON THE VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER WENT TO ZERO STAYED FOR A FEW SECONDS , LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN RESUMED OPERATING.

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.

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.

AS I WAS LEAVING A SHOPPING CENTER ABOUT 40 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE MY JEEP AND AS I ENTERED ONTO THE INTERSTATE THE JEEP ACTED LIKE I WAS HAVING A FLAT TIRE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING AND GIVING ME A LOT OF VIBRATION AND THE FLOP FLOP SOUND YOU GET FROM A FLAT TIRE. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT BUT NO FLAT TIRE, LOOSE LUG NUTS OR ANYTHING I COULD FIND. PUT FLASHERS ON AND HEADED UP THE ROAD SLOWLY NOT GOING OVER 45 MPH. IT FINALLY QUIT AND I WAS ABLE TO INCREASE SPEED. IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS WOBBLE SOUND ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING OFF AND ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THE ONLY THING MATCHED WHAT HAPPEN WAS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. SOME VEHICLES HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS BUT I DON'T SEE ANY FOR MY YEAR.
