ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKED AND CRUMBLED APART. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. THE COST OF REPLACING THE DOOR PANELS IS QUITE LARGE AS THE JEEP/CHRYSLER COMPANY DOES NOT PROVIDE NOR MAKE DOOR HANDLES ALONE. AS THE CAR IS A 2005 THERE IS NO WARRANTY AND AT THIS POINT I DO NOT LOCATE A RECALL ON THIS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART. DUE TO THE FACT THAT JEEP MADE THIS WITH A CHEAP PLASTIC, THE INABILITY TO SAFELY GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE. JEEP NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE PARTS AND NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OWNERS. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS OBVIOUS AND DUE TO THE SIMPLE FACT THIS IS NOT DUE TO ABUSE OR MISHANDLEING BY MYSELF OR ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBER IN MY VEHICLE IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE REST OF MY CAR INTERIOR IS FINE AND NOT IN NEED OF REPAIR. I HAVE READ AND NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH THE VERY SAME ISSUE AND HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT. I AM NOT REQUESTING A REPLACEMENT CAR BUT I AM REQUESTING THAT THE INTEGRITY OF THE JEEP BRAND BE CORRECTED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR TO OPEN THE CAR DOORS FOR MY FAMILY MEMBERS. IF WE ARE IN A WRECK OR HAVE A FIRE WE COULD ALL BE LOST SIMPLY DUE TO A CHEAPLY MADE DOOR HANDLE THAT THE JEEP COMPANY DOES NOT CHOOSE TO REPLACE. THIS SHOULD BE A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ISSUE AS WELL. BUT THE SAFETY IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THERE IS ALSO A LOT OF AFTERMARKET DOOR HANDLES BEING MADE DUE TO THE COST JEEP IS CHARGING ALMOST 400 PER DOOR PANEL. HOWEVER THE SAFETY OF THESE PARTS ARE NOT REALLY KNOWN. JEEP IS INFORMING AS I CALL THAT THEY DO NOT USE AFTER MARKET PARTS ONLY JEEP PARTS. I SAY THAT IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN JEEP NEEDS TO OWN UP TO ITS DESIGN PROBLEM AND SECURE THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DRIVING IN THESE VEHICLES.

14V438000 · 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.

13V175000 · Electrical System; Power Train:transfer Case (4-WHEEL Drive)

May 7, 2013

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.

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.
