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.

THE REAR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE. IT CRACKED AND THE PROBLEM NOW IS YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS $530 OR YOU CAN GET A KIT FOR $150. THE INSTALLATION IS $102. WHY WOULD THERE BE A KIT BEING PRODUCED IF THERE WASN'T A MAJOR PROBLEM? I SPOKE TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON THE 2005 AND 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. FROM WHAT I HEARD FROM FIELDS IN SANFORD THE DEALER THE MANUFACTURER SOLD INFERIOR PARTS. RIGHT NOW ONLY ONE DOOR IS BROKEN BUT I EXPECT IT WILL HAPPEN TO THE OTHER 3. THAT PARTICULAR DOOR IS RARELY USED SO IT WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR PANELS HAVE CRACKED AND BROKEN WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE DOOR. CONSEQUENTLY, THE DOOR HANDLES BECOME INOPERABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE PANEL WHERE THE CRACKING OCCURS.

ALL FOUR INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED/BROKEN, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HANDLE IS DANGLING MAKING IT HARD TO OPEN AND THE PASSENGER FRONT HANDLE SEEMS TO BE GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. THE TWO REAR HANDLE CASINGS ARE CRACKED AND HOPEFULLY WILL LAST BEING THE REAR SEATS ARE HARDLY USED. THIS COULD BECOME A VERY DANGEROUS EVEN LIFE THREATENING SITUATION IF IT BECOMES TOTALLY BROKEN OFF AND UNABLE TO OPEN IT IN AN EMERGENCY. SUPPOSEDLY CHRYSLER/JEEP CLAIMS THAT UNTIL MY CALL A FEW MONTHS AGO "THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THIS MATTER, NO ONE HAS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM". I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ME AND AT $500 A DOOR PANEL IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL TO THIS DOOR CASING CRACKING/BREAKING PROBLEM. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP! *TR

JULY 26TH 2010 IS WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND MY BACK TWO DOORS WERE INOPERABLE. NO ONE COULD GET OUT OF THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I DROVE AROUND FOR A WHOLE YEAR BEFORE I GOT IT REPLACED. THE OPERATION HOMEFRONT REPLACED MY REAR DOORS FOR ME WITH NOTHING COMING OUT OF MY POCKETS. IF IT WASN'T FOR OHF I WOULD'VE CAME OUT OF MY POCKET $1200 TO FIX JUST THE REAR DOORS. I NEEDED THEM FIXED BECAUSE I HAVE A CHILD AND THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF MY CHILD CANNOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. JEEP SAID THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THE DOOR PANELS FOR THIS VEHICLE. RIGHT NOW MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL IS FAILING AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THE DOOR BECAUSE IT IS SO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. JEEP NEEDS TO DO A RECALL OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. MY HANDLE IS SEPARATING FORM THE DOOR AND SOON I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. *TR

AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT THREE OF FOUR OF THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAVE BROKEN OFF AND ARE UNUSABLE. THE PLASTIC HANDLES AND THE SUPPORTING DOOR FRAMES ARE ALL CRACKING IN THE SAME LOCATION AND THE HANDLES THEN FALL OFF. THE DEALER JUST TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY MAY NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE ?PROBLEM START AFTER 50,000 MILES?, THIS IS RIDICULOUS, AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO EVEN DISCUSS THE ISSUE, THEY DIDN'T ANSWER PHONE CALLS, EVEN VOICEMAILS, NOTHING AT ALL! FOR ME IT?S MORE THAN OBVIOUS, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT TAKES MORE TIME TO EGRESS THE VEHICLE IN AN ACCIDENT. JUST THINK ABOUT THIS HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION; YOU'RE WITH THE FAMILY, (WIFE, DAUGHTERS, GRANDFATHER AND GRANDMOTHER), ALL WINDOWS UP, THEN APPEARS SOMEBODY AND HITS YOU, INSIDE THREE OF FOUR HANDLES DIDN'T OPERATES. *TR

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR OVER $14,000. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH BEFORE I HAVE EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT 3 OF THE 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN UP WITH THE MANUFACTURER. AFTER COMING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I HAVE SEEN ENDLESS COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING, BUT YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY HAZARD BY CHRYSLER. IMAGINE FOR A MOMENT YOUR IN AN ACCIDENT AND ARE UNABLE TO OPEN YOUR CAR DOOR TO FREE YOURSELF, OR EVEN WORSE YOUR CHILD. I CANNOT IMAGINE THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF. FOR ALL THREE HANDLES TO BREAK AT ONCE IS UNBEIVABLE AND FOR CHRYSLER TO FEEL THEY DO NOT OWE THE CONSUMER A RECALL TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION IS MIND BOGGLING. I PERSONALLY HAVE CALLED AND VOICED MY OPINION AND WAS TOLD TO FIX IT MYSELF. BELIEVE ME I WILL BE GOING TO MY LAWYER IN THE MORNING TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FILE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER AND TO ALSO HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAVE VOICED MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS SAFETY HAZARD TO NO AVAIL. *TR
