While driving my Jeep the engine light came on. I immediately pulled over and telephoned my mechanic not sure if I should continue driving it. My mechanic thought that it would be okay to drive it the short distance I had left and to bring in into his garage. My mechanic checked out the vehicle at length and could not find anything. When he thought he had it fixed the engine light came back on. My mechanic brought it to the dealer in norwich, , NY and they determined it was part of the computer system. I just got my Jeep back after a $972 bill. Is this something that typically goes wrong; have others had issues with this; was it safe etc.?
Brake booster fail and, I have replace. This cost me part only $219 plus labor $180. This should be considered as recall since is not brake pads issue.
All 4 interior door opening handles breaking/failing: 1 rear door totally inoperable. ***this is a dangerous safety issue ' if handles break or are inoperable in certain emergency situations, passengers may not be able to exit the vehicle, causing serious injury or death!*** manufacturer charge to replace/repair handles is prohibitively expensive: In my case, the cost of eight (8) monthly car payments! manufacturer safety recall warranted!'
Rear passenger side door handle no longer opens the door from the inside. Door handle is loosely flopping around. The door must be opened from the outside. This was first found when the stopped and my son couldn't get the door open.
Ok I'm fully aware my vehicle is under 3 recalls well technically speaking 2 cause ones a recall on the recall waiting for that recall to be recalled. This whole process is insane my vehicle has turned off while driving has unparked itself shifted on its own had the lights flicker I have even been pulled over mutiple times for these problems twice when the Jeep decided it was gonna stop accelerating 3 times because the lights start flickering sometime just inside sometimes just the outside and most recently all the lights just stopped working vehicle still running made it about 10 feet after the lights went out and sure enough before I could even pull of tbe road blue lights I've had the vehicle less then 60 days it's stalled while sitting still it's stalled while driving it's shut off while idle and while driving. Its shifted on its own while driving and idle most recently I was checking the transmission fluid with the car in park in my driveway the support arms are dead so I used my handy dandy block O wood to hold it open well I pull the dipstick from the transmisson it was a little low so I turn around to grab my funnel and a bottle of fluid and I before I can even turn all the way around my parked car is rolling towards me and so I didnt get pinned between my Jeep and my shed I tired to step into the vehicle to prevent my legs from getting stuck well I'm pretty tall and my head hit he hood witch lifted it slightly and my block O wood fell out witch lead to the hood pushing my face into the running car luckily a busted flip and a slight burn to my neck was all that happened now I understand that a block O wood is not standard safety equipment and I understand that a car rolling in netural a couple feet will more then likely not pin anyone but all I knew was the parked car was moving I didn't know if it was gonna speed up or what I need more room
The interior door handles on both driver side are broken. The back driver passenger door handle finally broke. The driver door interior handle is going to go next. Im just worried about what would happen if it breaks if I get into an accident or if my car catches fire. Its a hazard and safety issue that needs to be addressed. I was im my driveway when it broke.
Rear door handle broke due to faulty plastic. All the other door handles are cracking. This is a safety hazard as the doors will not open from the inside when the handle falls off.
Interior door handles are broken and you cannot get out of car. Car was in driveway. This is an one going issue with Jeep and they are not doing a safty recall
A lot of owners of the Jeep Grand Cherokee are experiencing the same problem with the dim head lights and trouble starting the car. The car simply won't start you have to crank it about 20 times. The car will sometimes turn off while driving in the road
I purchased a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee on 10/14/2017 and on 10/20/2017 on my way from droping my kid off, coming home my car started to run sluggish so getting off the highway it caught on fire.was there ever a recall on this car, so I look on the internet and found out that a recall involves 2005.that the transmission fluid will get too hot cause it boil and eject some of the fluid could come into contact with a hot part of the exhaust and cause an engine according to Jeep recall Grand Cherokee over fire danger web site. * also 11053735**

Interior door handles are made of cheep plastic and prematurely wearing out causing them to shatter making them inoperable so that occupants are unable to exit the vehicle in case of emergency
The inside plastic around all door handles is cracked and broken. I'm finding this is a common problem and can be dangerous as it effects the handles and being able to get out in case of emergency. I, myself, have problems opening the back doors. And now the passenger front door handle is about to break
Door handles on all interior doors have broken and become un-useable and very dangerous as passengers have to be let out or open windows and try to open door from outside, if there was a fire or water hazard there would be no way to escape as electrics wouldnt allow winows to open, im afraid to travel with my kids and price to fix is over $3000 and no one wants to fix them, even if I say ill pay its rediculous, dangerous and out right fraud. 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.
