2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE RECALLS P73 AND 41 FOR OVER A YEAR. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR A YEAR!!! I HAVE NOTIFIED JEEP NUMEROUS TIMES, AND YET THE PART HAS NOT BEEN PRODUCED. I HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH NO CAR FOR 1 YEAR. I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR UBER, TAXIS, RENTALS, BUSES, TRAINS, AND HAVE WALKED EVERYWHERE DUE TO THIS RECALL. IT HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY. JEEP HAS NOT ONCE COMPENSATED ME. EVERY TIME I CALL, THEY SAY NEXT MONTH. THIS HAD BEEN FOR ONE YEAR NOW! THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON 66, 395, AND 495 INTERSTATES. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR JEEP TO DO SOMETHING? I HAD ONE REP SAID WE'LL REIMBURSE ME, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO REIMBURSE ME, FOR A PART THAT'S NOT EVEN IN PRODUCTION. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE I RESIDE LAST YEAR ABOUT THE LIGHTS FLICKERING AND THE PLEASE FIX THE ELECTRICAL BRAKE SYSTEM ERROR, THE REFUSED , BECAUSE THEY STATED, THEY NEVER SAW IT. I WAS TOLD I CAN RENT A CAR FOR THEM, ON MY OWN DIME FOR 40.00 A DAY!! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WHEN IT'S JEEP'S RECALL. I HAVE LOST OUT ON JOBS, BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS REALLY SERIOUS.

IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER EVERYTIME THE CAR CAME TO A STOP OR IDLED. 3 DAYS LATER, THE CAR LOST POWER IN SPEED LIMIT TRAFFIC AFTER GOING OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS. SINCE THEN, IT LOSES POWER AT EVERY STOP. IF I AM NOT AWARE, THE CAR ROLLS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! I TOOK THE CAR TO MY NEAREST DEALER. THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED AND A PART HASN'T BEEN SENT TO DEALERS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY DID WAS PUT ME ON A LIST! THEY APOLOGIZED FOR ME NOT HAVING A CAR TO DRIVE AND THAT WAS IT! THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A TIMELINE OF WHEN THE PART WOULD BE READY. THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE LOST MY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION UNLESS I WANT TO RISK MY AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE, AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AT FAULT!

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE ETC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I MANGED TO COAST HOME AT 15 MPH SPEED WHERE I CALL CALL THE DEALER AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED TOTHE SHOP FOR REPAIR. A THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE WAS IDENTIFIED AS BEING SHORTED AND THEY REPLACED IT AT $1508.20 COST TO ME. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT MY CONTROL MODULE WENT OUT CAUSING THE ELECTRIC SEATS TO RETRACT AND ENGINE BEGIN TO SHUT DOWN. THIS REQUIRED A NEW POWER MODULE AT $1543 COST TO ME. THE RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM NHTSA 14V-438 HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED BY CHRYSLER SINCE SEPTEMBER 2014. I FEEL THE EARLIER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS COULD BE VERY LIKELY RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE OTHER REPAIRS, ALSO THE PLASTIC SUPPORT THAT HOLDS ALL THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES SECURE TO THE DOOR HAVE ALL BROKEN BECAUSE OF A KNOW DESIGN FAILURE CHRYSLER HAS ON THESE VEHICLES. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THE DEFECT AND THIS CAR IS A DANGER TO ANYONE WHO IS IN IT WHILE DRIVING. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED OR A FIRE IN THE CAR, YOU COULD NOT ESCAPE FROM CAR IN TIME TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY. IF THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT THERE SHOULD BE ONE.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JUNE 2014 FOR IGNITION SWITCH. MY VEHICLE DASH BOARD, GAUGES HEAR, AIR, EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF AT LEAST 5 TIMES A WEEK. I AM TOLD FROM SUBCLASS THAT THE PART IS STILL NOT IN. IN DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THE SOME CARS COMPLETING SHUT DOWN. SOME WHILE DRIVING 60 ON A HIGHWAY. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I FEEL THAT OVER A YEAR IS LONG ENOUGH. I NEED MY JEEP FIXED AND SAFE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON IN THE BACK SEAT. THANKS, DEB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED VIOLENTLY, WHICH PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM BEING ABLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD BECOME STUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE ENGINE RPM'S REVVED EXCESSIVELY AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ABLE TO RELEASE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

MY JEEP AT TIMES LURCHES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION BEFORE IT WILL DRIVE NORMALLY. AT TIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND NOT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE RPMS WILL JUMP AND NOT GO DOWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT CONTINUE TO GO FORWARD. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN IGNITION OFF, TURN BACK ON AND GO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF TRYING TO GET ON HIGHWAY OR IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED INCREASED TO 80 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND CAUSING THE CONTACT TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE, THE VEHICLE TURNED ITSELF OFF CAUSING ME TO LOSE BRAKING AND STEERING POWER. THE IGNITION RECALL IS WHAT IS GOING ON HOWEVER CHRYSLER/JEEP DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM NOR ARE THE OFFERING ANY POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. THEY ARE REFUSING A RENTAL CAR DUE TO THE ISSUE NOT BEING LIFE THREATENING. HOWEVER, HAVING A VEHICLE SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE DRIVING IS VERY LIFE THREATENING TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE AND INNOCENT BYSTANDERS AROUND ME ON THE ROAD. I AM HIGHLY DISSATISFIED WITH CHRYSLER. *TR

WHILE ROUNDING A CORNER HUSBANDS KNEE BUMPED INTO IGNITION SWITCH, CAR SHUT DOWN. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN SEPT. 2014 AND HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL JEEP DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, STILL NO PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE ARE FOLLOWING SUGGESTED HANDLING OF KEY FOB, ONLY THE KEY IN IGNITION. THE DANGER BECAME VERY PRESENT TO US LAST NIGHT AS WE HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHERE WE WERE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH. THIS WOULD HAVE HAD A VASTLY DIFFERENT OUTCOME GOING THAT FAST. HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE THIS FIX TAKES PLACE? WE DON'T WANT TO DIE!! HAD I BEEN DRIVING INSTEAD OF MY HUSBAND I WOULD HAVE SURELY PANICKED AND WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE WRITING YOU NOW. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET MOVING ON THIS BEFORE WE ENCOUNTER A DREADED ACCIDENT. *TR
