ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN TO VARYING DEGREES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER SEVERAL YEARS. THE DOOR HANDLE THAT IS MOST INTACT IS THE DRIVER'S HANDLE. IRONICALLY THIS CAR IS TYPICALLY ONLY USED BY ONE PERSON WHO USES THAT DOOR HANDLE. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES. IT HAS BECOME A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR OUR FAMILY. MY HUSBAND WILL NOT TAKE PASSENGERS FOR FEAR THAT IF THERE WOULD BE AN EMERGENCY OR ACCIDENT HIS PASSENGERS WOULD BE UNABLE TO EXIT THE CAR. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CARS OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ONE DOOR HANDLE BREAK MUCH LESS ALL FOUR. JEEP HAS MADE ME BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE WHEN I CONTACTED THEM. ONLINE SEARCHES MAKE ME BELIEVE OTHERWISE. *TR

BOUGHT THE JEEP, WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AND HAD IT DONE WITHIN 2 WEEKS FOR BUYING THE JEEP. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW AND THE TRANSFER CASE WORKED PRIOR TO THE RECALL FLASH AND NEITHER WORK AFTER THE FLASH. HAD 3 JEEP DEALER CHECK IT OUT AND ALL SAID BASICALLY THE SAME THING. ONE SAID IT NEEDED A NEW ACTUATOR AND THE OTHER TWO SAID JUST REMOVE 2 CODES AND IF THAT DIDN'T WORK THEN THE ACTUATOR. THE CODES WERE REMOVED TWICE AND IT REVERTS BACK TO NOT WORKING.

SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, THE REAR DOOR HANDLES AND THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES HAVE BEEN CRACKED. OVER THE COURSE OF US OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR THE PAST YEAR THE REAR DOOR HANDLES NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A NOT ONLY A PROBLEM BUT A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THERE WOULD BE AN ACCIDENT OR A FIRE OR ANYTHING PEOPLE IN THE BACK SEATS WOULD BE STUCK IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ MANY, MANY SIMILAR ISSUES REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND HOW JEEP REFUSES TO FIX IT UNLESS YOU BUY A WHOLE NEW DOOR PANEL WHICH CAN BE UP TO $600 A DOOR. CHRYSLER SHOULD REALLY RECALL THESE VEHICLES, IT IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

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.
