JEEP NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE AS THE DANGER TO LIFE IS MASSIVE AND THERE IS 100,000 VECHILES WITH THIS PROBLEM. JUST THE BROKEN PARTS CAN CUT PEOPLE, NOT RELIZING IT . HAPPENED BY NORMAL USE ACTUALLY LESS THAN NORMAL USE AS REAR PASSANGER DOORS FAILED FASTER THEN FRONT AND OVER THE YEARS HAD 3/4 LESS USAGE THAN FRONT AS I USE IT EVERDAY.

I ALSO HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LMTD AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL IS BROKEN AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE. THE DOOR HANDLE IS HANGING ON BY THE CABLES. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR OVER 2 YEARS. THE ONLY REASON THE OTHER DOOR INTERIOR PANELS HAVEN'T BROKEN YET IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE RARELY USED. I DO NOT KNOW WHY JEEP HAS NOT BEEN SUPPORTIVE ENOUGH TO HAVE A RECALL TO REPLACE ALL 4 DOOR PANELS SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CHEAP PLASTIC THAT WAS USED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I COULD GET MY DOOR OPEN IN A CRASH.

THIS MODEL GRAND CHEROKEE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 07-AND UP. THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE FAILS. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED 5 TIMES, THAT'S 5 TOWS- THE DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY THOUGHT I WAS PART OF THAT RECALL, BUT HAD TO BACK TRACK. I WAS TOLD "IT'S NOT BROKEN ENOUGH" IT IS THE SAME EXACT PART AS THE P57 RECALL FOR THE 07, SO WHY NOT FOR THE 05? THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIPS TELLING US TO GO AWAY AFTER WE SPEND MONEY ON PARTS THAT ARE CLEARLY NOT THE ISSUE.
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.
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.

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. IF THE PRESENCE OF A LEAK IS DETECTED, THE VEHICLE WILL BE EVALUATED FOR SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER ENGAGEMENT. IF NO SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE TRIPLE FLUSHED, AND NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TORQUE CONVERTER WILL BE REPLACED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 31, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
