WE PURCHASED A SECOND HAND JEEP 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE LAST MAY 2013. IT WAS A ONE OWNER ONE DRIVER VEHICLE. BY THE LOOKS OF THE INTERIOR THERE WERE NO OTHER PASSENGERS EVER IN THE CAR. VERY CLEAN AND UNUSED. BY DECEMBER 2013 WE NOTICED CRACKING AND BREAKING AROUND THE PASSENGER AND REAR DOOR HANDLES. WE UTILIZE THE REAR DOORS FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN. BY FEBRUARY 2014 THE REAR DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER HAD BROKEN AND HAS APPARENTLY UNATTACHED THE MECHANISM THAT OPENS THE DOOR, WHICH NOW IS UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH THAT DOOR. WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED I WENT ONLINE AND SAW THAT IT WAS A COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I CONTACTED JEEP AND JEEP DEALER. NO ONE RESPONDED BACK FROM COMPLAINT FROM JEEP. THE DEALER TOLD US IT WOULD COST $550 PER DOOR TO REPAIR. WHEN I CONTACTED JEEP I ASKED HOW MANY CASUALTIES DOES IT TAKE FOR A RECALL. MY GRANDDAUGHTERS SIT BACK THERE AND COULD NEVER EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THE HANDLES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC AS IS THE PIECE IT IS CONNECTED TOO. THEY ACTUALLY SELL REPLACEMENT REPAIR KITS FOR THIS ON LINE AND DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED SAID IT WOULD REPLACE THEM FOR A LARGE FEE IF I PURCHASED THE REPAIR KIT. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE I DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MANUFACTURING RECALL. IF THE VEHICLE WOULD CATCH ON FIRE THERE WOULD BE FATALITIES.. THE STRONGEST HANDLE IS THE DRIVERS DOOR?? WHICH MEANS IT WOULD TAKE A LOT LONGER FOR THIS ONE TO BREAK, DO YOU THINK THEY KNEW THIS WHEN MANUFACTURING?? *TR

THE RESULT WAS PROPERTY DAMAGE (UNKNOWN AMOUNT) AND CAR DAMAGE OVER $7600.00 NOT INCLUDING CAR RENTAL FOR 2 WEEKS.

THE NEXT DAY MY DAUGHTER WAS GETTING OUT OF FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WHEN PLASTIC BROKE AROUND HANDLE AND HANDLE ITSELF WOULD NOT WORK.

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. 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.
