EACH TIME IT HAS OCCURRED, IT WAS AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, SO THE DANGER OF A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT WAS LOW; HOWEVER, ONE TIME IT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS ON A HILL AND I COULDN'T STOP THE JEEP FROM ROLLING DOWN HILL. I HAD TO COAST THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND ONLY CAME TO REST BECAUSE OF A CURB ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. LUCKILY, NO CARS WERE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN DEC 2014 FROM A USED DEALER. PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAD SMALL CRACK AS WELL AS DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. ON 2/19/15 WHILE EXITING VEHICLE, DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR HANDLE CRACKED SIGNIFICANTLY AND WAS VERY LOOSE. SINCE THEN, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS CRACKED VERY BAD ALSO. THIS AFTERNOON 8/10/15, WHILE GETTING BACK INTO MY VEHICLE THE ENTIRE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR INTERIOR HANDLE FELL COMPLETELY OFF AND INTO THE STREET. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUSLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION, IF THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE CAN NOT EXIT THE CAR WITHOUT ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN THEN REACHING OUT OF CAR TO OPEN DOOR USING EXTERIOR HANDLE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND MY VEHICLE FLIPS ONTO ITS PASSENGER SIDE. I CAN NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE AT ALL! UNLESS I CLIMB INTO THE BACK SEAT AND OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. JEEP CHRSYLER NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL INTERIOR HANDLES ON THIS VEHICLE ASAP, AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

Official recalls
3Jul 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.
