Illustration1. Fuel tank started leaking on the top. 2. Middle backseat belt was stuck. It would not pull out. No matter what we tried it just got tighter and tighter, had to cut it. 3. Can't use seat warmer on passenger side because it will burn the person sitting there because the seat tore.

THE MIDDLE REAR SEAT BELT IS LOCKED IN PLACE TO THE POINT IT IS DIGGING INTO MY SEAT. I NOW CAN NOT USE THE SEAT BELT AND CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY CHILDREN AND OR PASSENGERS IF THEY ARE NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT. ALSO, THE REAR HEADREST REMOVES BUT THE POLES THAT HOLDS THEM IN STILL STICK OUT OF THE SEAT. THE HEADREST MUST BE REMOVED TO PROPERLY INSTALL MY DAUGHTERS BOOSTER SEAT. THE BOOSTER SEAT DOES NOT SIT FLUSH AGAINST THE SEAT UNLESS THE HEAD REST CUSHION IS REMOVED BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK SAFE ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENT OF A CAR ACCIDENT HAVING THE HEAD REST SUPPORT POLES STICKING OUT OF THE SEAT.

I LEASED A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN WILMINGTON, DE. I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE REAR SEATS AND THEIR ABILITY, OR LACK THEREOF, TO ACCOMMODATE A CHILD'S CAR SEAT. AS MY DAUGHTER CONTINUES TO GROW WE HAVE CHANGED HER CAR SEAT TO THE FORWARD FACING POSITION AND IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE BACK SEAT. AS SHE CONTINUES TO GROW IT IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO PLACE HER IN THE CHILD CAR SEAT LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE BACK SEAT. THUS, WE ATTEMPTED, UNSUCCESSFULLY, TO MOVE HER CAR SEAT FROM THE CENTER POSITION TO THE RIGHT REAR SEAT POSITION. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE SHAPE OF THE VEHICLES SEAT AND INABILITY TO REMOVE THE HEAD REST, WE WERE UNABLE TO SAFELY SECURE HER CAR SEAT IN THE RIGHT REAR SEAT POSITION. WE HAVE SINCE TRIED TO INSTALL TWO OTHER CHILD SEATS AND NEITHER WORKED. THEREAFTER, WE MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE SOMEONE FROM CHRISTIANA HOSPITAL WHO IS CERTIFIED BY THE NHTSA INSTALL THE SEAT AND SHE TOO WAS UNABLE TO DO SO AS A RESULT OF THE VEHICLE'S SEAT DESIGN AND HEADREST. WE HAVE RAISED THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND DAIMLER CHRYSLER BUT THEY SIMPLY TELL US TO CONSULT OUR OWNER'S MANUAL AND SEATCHECK.ORG. HOWEVER, I HAVE READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STATES THAT A CHILD'S SEAT CAN BE INSTALLED IN ANY OF THE REAR SEAT POSITIONS. MOREOVER, THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE HOSPITAL THAT ATTEMPTED TO INSTALL THE SEAT IS ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS YOU ARE DIRECTED TO FROM THE WWW.SEATCHECK.ORG WEBSITE. THUS, I HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO TURN SO I THOUGHT THE MOST PRUDENT THING TO DO WOULD BE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. *JB

Official recalls
314V438000 · Electrical System:ignition:switch
Jul 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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.
Remedy: 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.

Sep 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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION FOR LEAKAGE AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL.
