2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

P41 Ignition switch recall was completed on my vehicle 11/2015. Prior to receiving recall notification I experienced no problems with accidently hitting the key while driving. Now I am experiencing great difficulty turning the ignition switch. One of my vehicle keys broke off while trying to turn the car on to drive. Most times I get in the car to go somewhere there is always an issue getting the key to turn allowing the car to turn on. The warranty for the recall has expired and I am very upset that there is nothing that can be done to rectify this problem without having out of pocket expenses. This is very frustrating and I am afraid my last key is going to break off while trying to start vehicle.

Ignition system was repaired under recall in 2016. The cars ignition system continues to have issues and will shut off and cause the car not to restart. Very dangerous to be driving and have the engine fail. This happened on the highway recently. Chrysler says there is nothing they can do. Car has been looked at by independent mechanics and I have notified the dealership. They say it is my responsibility now.

The fuel tank skid plate has completely rusted and has broken off. My tank (that has a date of 2004 stamped on it) is completely exposed. I am afraid that my tank is going to fall off and cause harm to myself or the driver/vehicle behind me. The vehicle is mostly city street / highway driving… no off road driving. I am concerned of the considerable amount of pot holes 🕳️ in my area that damage can be done based on the area I live in. Southwestern Pennsylvania has a lot of pot holes.

ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS UP, FLASHES/FLUTTER/FLICKERS, RADIO SHUTS OFF, HVAC SYSTEM SHUTS OFF, BUT ENGINE STILL RUNS. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS ON, HOWEVER IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION OR IN PARK.. BUT I DO NOT SEE A PATTERN BEYOND THAT (LIKE WHEN IT RAINS OR IS HUMID).

MY INTERIOR HANDLES ON ALL 4 DOORS HAVE BEEN CRACKED FOR YEARS BUT NOW THEY ARE COMPLETELY CRUMBLED. AT FIRST, I HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEATS, THEN, WHOMEVER WAS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT, THEY HAD TO WAIT FOR ME TO GO AROUND & OPEN THE DOOR FOR THEM. THEY COULD NOT GET OUT FROM THE INSIDE. IT WAS A HASSLE BUT I MOSTLY DRIVE ALONE, SO I TOLERATED IT. AS OF YESTERDAY, I NOW HAVE TO OPEN MY WINDOW, (DRIVERS SIDE), TO OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE IT'S CRACK TO THE POINT, THAT I CAN'T OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE ANY LONGER. IT'S A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT & NEEDED TO GET OUT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO. YEARS AGO, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN CLEARWATER, FL. WAS GOING TO REPLACE DOOR PANELS, TO REPLACE THE HANDLES, BUT THE DISTRICT MGR THAT OK'D WAS TRANSFERRED & THE NEW DISTRICT MGR. REFUSED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE & DEATH. I'M HOPING & PRAYING YOU WILL DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS. IF NOT, I'M THINKING OF CALLING THE LOCAL NEWS. ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLES HAVE CRACKED, BROKEN & CRUMBLED. DOOR HANDLES ARE TOTALLY INOPERABLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE ' IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION DRIVER & PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL WARRANTED!

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED (5.7 HEMI). THE VEHICLE IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE FOR IT'S AGE EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THREE OF THE FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. THE ONLY HANDLE THAT ISN'T COMPLETELY BROKEN IS THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS HAS A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS ALSO HAS A HOLE AND ALMOST ALL OF THE PLASTIC HOUSING IS MISSING. FORTUNATELY, BOTH OF THESE DOOR HANDLES ARE STILL OPERATIONAL FROM THE INSIDE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS THE MOST DAMAGE AND ALTHOUGH OPERATIONAL, THERE IS ONLY ONE SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT IS HOLDING THE PIN THAT CONNECTS THE CABLE TO THE HANDLE. ONCE THE PIN FALLS OUT, THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER BE OPERATIONAL FROM THE INSIDE AND THE PLASTIC THAT IS CURRENTLY HOLDING IT IN PLACE IS EXTREMELY BRITTLE. THE WHOLE MECHANISM THAT OPENS THE DOOR IS EXPOSED THROUGH THE DOOR AND THE ACTUAL HANDLE NO LONGER IS SEATED WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED BE. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE DRIVER DOOR BECOMES INOPERABLE AND THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

AS I WAS LEAVING A SHOPPING CENTER ABOUT 40 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE MY JEEP AND AS I ENTERED ONTO THE INTERSTATE THE JEEP ACTED LIKE I WAS HAVING A FLAT TIRE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING AND GIVING ME A LOT OF VIBRATION AND THE FLOP FLOP SOUND YOU GET FROM A FLAT TIRE. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT BUT NO FLAT TIRE, LOOSE LUG NUTS OR ANYTHING I COULD FIND. PUT FLASHERS ON AND HEADED UP THE ROAD SLOWLY NOT GOING OVER 45 MPH. IT FINALLY QUIT AND I WAS ABLE TO INCREASE SPEED. IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS WOBBLE SOUND ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING OFF AND ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THE ONLY THING MATCHED WHAT HAPPEN WAS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. SOME VEHICLES HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS BUT I DON'T SEE ANY FOR MY YEAR.

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 $972.00 BILL. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT TYPICALLY GOES WRONG; HAVE OTHERS HAD ISSUES WITH THIS; WAS IT SAFE ETC.?
