INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN. THEY HAVE BEEN THIS WAY FOR MANY MANY YEARS.... THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS MODEL JEEP. THE PLASTIC CUP THAT HOUSES THE LEVER BECAME VERY BRITTLE AND DOOR HANDLE BASICALLY BROKE APART IN MANY PIECES. 3 OUT OF THE 4 ARE BROKEN. THE REAR DOORS AREN'T USED MUCH, SO ASSUME THAT'S WHY ONE OF THOSE IS STILL IN ONE PIECE. BECAUSE THE CUP IS PART OF THE DOOR PANEL, THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL! PLEASE REFERENCE THE SITES BELOW. NO ABUSE, JUST STANDARD USE, SEEMS TO BE A MATERIAL ISSUE.

MY JEEP JUMPS TO THIRD GEAR RANDOMLY, AND IT ENDS UP JITTERING AND SHAKING. MY CAR GOT STUCK SO MANY TIMES AND ENDED UP BEING STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ONCE PARKED AND HAD SHIFTED TO DRIVE BUT INSTEAD THE JEEP SUDDENLY JUMPED TO 3RD AND MY CAR STARTED TO GO BACKWARDS AND ENDED UP HITTING ANOTHER CAR BEHIND ME. I HAD TO PAY THE GUY $500 AND ALSO GOT ALL THE FLUIDS AND OILS CHANGED IN HOPES OF GETTING THIS FIXED, BUT TO NO AVAIL. YESTERDAY, I SPENT $450 ON THESE FLUID AND OIL CHANGES ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CONTINUE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND JEEP HAS NO ANSWERS. YOU GUYS NEED TO DO A TOTAL VEHICLE RECALL SINCE JEEP HAS NO ANSWERS. MANY PEOPLE CAN DIE FROM THIS DEFECT. I HAVE A VIDEO TO PROVE THE CAR JUMPING TO THIRD AND ALL THE ISSUES I JUST DESCRIBED.

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.
