ON JUNE 11, 2013, I PULLED INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE PARKING LOT. I PUT MY (2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE) IN PARK & GOT OUT (THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING). AFTER A MOMENT OR SO, MY JEEP STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. IT ROLLED BETWEEN THE FUELING ISLANDS & IT WAS HEADED TOWARDS THE STREET. MY JEEP HIT A YELLOW POLE & THAT STOPPED IT FROM ROLLING INTO THE STREET. (THE YELLOW POLE IS A SAFETY POLE THAT PROTECTS THE FIRE HYDRANT). I AM 100% CONFIDENT THAT I PUT MY JEEP IN PARK BEFORE I GOT OUT OF IT. I WAS SHOCKED & SCARED WHEN I SAW IT ROLLING DOWN THE LOT. I FILED AN ACCIDENT CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DAMAGE WAS AROUND $6,000. MY DEDUCTIBLE WAS $500. TODAY, (AUGUST 13, 2013), I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER. THE REASON FOR THE RECALL IS THE "FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER MODULE SOFTWARE MAY UNINTENTIONALLY CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE TO SHIFT INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. THIS CONDITION COULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY INADVERTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." I WAS (AND I STILL AM) 100% CONFIDENT THAT I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK BEFORE I GOT OUT OF IT. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AT THIS POINT? MY INSURANCE COMPANY PAID THE CLAIM & I PAID MY DEDUCTIBLE. NOW, MY INSURANCE RATES WILL GO UP. WHO SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? HOW DO I PROCEED? *TR

ALL FOUR DOORS, THE DOOR UNLOCK/OPEN HANDLES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC AND ARE DISINTEGRATING AND FALLING APART. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OF VEHICLE. HANDLE IS MADE FROM CHEAP BRITTLE PLASTIC AND ALL ARE FALLING APART, EVEN THOSE ON DOORS THAT ARE NOT USED FREQUENTLY. JEEP HAS SAID THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $800.00 PER DOOR PANEL X 4 DOORS = $3200.00!!! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE LEVER MECHANISM IS PLASTIC MADE INTO THE DOOR PANEL. JEEP NEEDS TO HAVE A FACTOR RECALL TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE DOOR UNLOCK/OPEN HANDLES. *TR
ALL FOUR (4) INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKED. THE RESULT OF THIS ISSUE WILL IMPACT THE ABILITY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM INSIDE. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY SUCH AS FIRE/ACCIDENT, PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY EXIT THE VEHICLE TO ESCAPE FROM POTENTIAL INJURY/THREAT. *TR

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAK ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES HAD CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC BACKING WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE IN 2012. FIRST, THE REAR DRIVER DOOR HANDLE BROKE AND THE MECHANIC WANTED $850 TO FIX IT SINCE THE PLASTIC BACKSPLASH IS PART OF THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL. WITHOUT THE PLASTIC BACKSPLASH, THE HANDLE DOES NOT WORK. SO, I HAVE TO OPEN THAT DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE FOR MY KIDS. NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE HAS A HOLE AND IS ALMOST TO THE POINT OF BREAKING. I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS CAR AS I CANNOT AFFORD $3300 TO FIX THE HANDLES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS DOORS MUST OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. *TR

REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN. NO IDEA HOW OR WHEN IT HAPPENED. ON JUNE 4, 2013, MY SON TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE AND IT WOULDN'T OPEN. I FIGURED HE JUST HAD A HARD TIME AND I LET HIM OUT FROM THE OUTSIDE. 3 DAYS LATER, I OPENED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE TO LET MY SON IN AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT SOME OF THE PLASTIC MOLDING AROUND THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WAS BROKEN OFF AND MISSING AND THE DOOR HANDLE WAS HANGING LIMP. I AM CERTAIN THAT THERE WAS NO MISSING PLASTIC 3 DAYS PRIOR WHEN THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHEN THE PLASTIC BROKE OFF. I'M GUESSING IT'S DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL. FRUSTRATING SINCE THOSE REAR DOOR HANDLES ARE RARELY USED. I ALMOST ALWAYS OPEN THE REAR DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE MY KIDS ARE SMALL AND STILL RIDE STRAPPED INTO CAR SEATS, SO THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GET OUT THEMSELVES. HAVING READ OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS MUST BE SOME SORT OF DEFECT. THERE'S NO REASON A DOOR HANDLE THAT IS RARELY USED SHOULD HAVE BROKEN OFF, AND IT'S ESPECIALLY STRANGE THAT IT SEEMS TO HAVE JUST BROKEN APART WHEN NO ONE WAS TOUCHING IT. *TR

A FEW WEEKS LATER I EXPERIENCED A ROLLAWAY. I WENT INTO THE SITTER TO PICK UP MY SON. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF BEING INSIDE I MY JEEP ROLL ACROSS THE STREET! I GO RUNNING OUTSIDE, OPENED THE DOOR AND PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BREAK...JUST MISSING AN EMBANKMENT! SINCE THE "NEUTRAL" THING STARTED I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON. MY MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND HE SAID ITS ALL ELECTRICAL. ALSO, I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW GOING UP/DOWN SLOWER THAN THE REST OF THE WINDOWS SINCE 3 MONTHS INTO PURCHASE. OTHER ISSUES ARE CRACKED DOOR HANDLES (BOTH FRONT DOORS), REPLACING TAILLIGHT KIT, AC SWITCH-A FEW TIMES AS IT WOULD ONLY WORK ON HIGH. *TR

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON LINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL SO I THINK THERE MUST BE A RECALL AND THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $250 TO REPAIR EACH DOOR AND IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO FIND USED PARTS. STEP-UP TO THE PLATE JEEP! THE VEHICLE WAS NOT CHEAP AND IS NOT THE BUYER'S FAULT THAT THE COMPANY APPEARS TO USE CHEAP PARTS FOR THEIR VEHICLES. *TR
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. 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.
