2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Complaint Log

THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT IN THE BACK SEAT IS TIGHTENED TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING USABLE. THE PLASTIC LOCK THAT PREVENTS THE SEAT BELT FROM RETRACTING TOO FAR BROKE OFF WHILE USING THE 40/60 SPLIT FEATURE. UPON ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL MODEL YEAR CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS IS ALSO THE ONLY SEAT BELT COMPLIANT FOR CHILD CAR SEATS SO TO HAVE IT NOT WORKING IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

I'VE READ SEVER COMPLAINTS AND NOTICED THAT MY JEEP IS DOING THE SAME THING. HOWEVER, MINE HAS 195000 MILES A LOT OF THE OTHERS I'VE READ ABOUT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, I TOOK MY JEEP TO NATIONAL JEEP CHRYSLER AND DODGE LOT THEY CHECKED IT OVER AND SAID THEY DON'T THINK IT'S THE TRANNY IT CLUNKS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO 15 MPH AND 5 MPH THEY ALSO CHANGING THE TRANNY DIDN'T HELP IT. I JUST PURCHASED THIS JEEP LAST WEEK.

TAKATA INFLATOR. I PURCHASED MY JEEP AND AFTER A FEW MONTHS I NOTICE IT KEPT GETTING STUCK IN 3RD. WOULDN'T COME OUT. THEN THE MESSAGE "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" WOULD POP UP. IT WOULD RANDOMLY JUST LOOSE ALL POWER AND CUT OFF AS I WOULD BE DRIVING. I HAD IT LOOKED AT. CHECKED THE CODES BC CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD POP UP ALSO. MULTIPLE CODES WERE IN THE HISTORY PERTAINING TO THE ISSUE. I WAS GOING TO GET EVERYTHING FIXED UNTIL I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT JEEP FIRST BC THERE MIGHT BE SOME RECALLS THAT OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING MY SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD OF PAID FOR IT REGARDLESS TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. IT HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS. MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO MCKINNEY DODGE IN EASLEY,SC. AFTER FIXING THE RECALLS I HAVE PAPERWORK FOR A FEW MONTHS LATER WAS DOING IT AGAIN. I WORK IN A SERVICE DEPT. SO I ASKED ONE MY TECHS IF IT WAS SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLS AND DID I NEED TO CALL DEALERSHIP BACK. THEY SAID YES. CALLED MCKINNEY AND THEY REFUSED TO SET ME AN APPOINTMENT AND SAID THE PROBLEMS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALLS THEY FIXED. AFTER HAVING SEVERAL TOWS AND STRANDED AND ALMOST WRECKING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND JUST DIES, I'M BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TELL ME HOW TO FIX. AFTER READING SEVERAL REVIEWS AND RECALL INFORMATION, MY ISSUES ARE EVERYTHING WITH MY RECALLS. MY AIRBAG LIGHT GO ON AND OFF ALSO. THEY NEVER TOUCHED THAT AND IT'S ALSO A RECALL. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO BC I'M NOT WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH BC THIS VEHICLE. IT'S MY ONLY CAR AND I'VE TRIED TO PAY MYSELF AND HAD RECALLS FIXED AND PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I'VE CONTACTED A LAWYER. I WANT IT FIXED OR I WANT ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

A/C HEATER CENTER CONTROL LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP. BEEN THIS WAY SINCE JEEP WAS PURCHASED. THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY CONCERN, DRIVING AT NIGHT TRYING TO FUMBLE WITH CHANGING THE TEMPERATURE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE WHAT YOUR DOING WHILE TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. THERE ARE ACTUALLY MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAFETY CONCERN STATED ALL OVER ONLINE WITH JEEP HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE!

CAUSE OF FAILURE: INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS STRESS CRACKED AND IS BROKEN. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ABUSE, IMPACT DAMAGE OR AFTER MARKET MODIFICATIONS. **NOTE THAT THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE IS SERVICEABLE ONLY AS AN INTERIOR DOOR PANEL ASSEMBLY**CORRECTION: INSTALLED REPLACEMENT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY TO CORRECT CONCERN. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THE PLASTIC CUP BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLE CRACKED AND EVENTUALLY SHATTERED LEAVING SHARDS BEHIND THAT CUT MY HAND WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. THE REMAINING THREE DOOR HANDLES HAVE ALL DONE THE SAME THING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. EXITING THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WITH THE DOOR HANDLES NOT WORKING PROPERLY WOULD BE DELAYED, OR IN THE CASE OF A CHILD, IMPOSSIBLE.

ALL 4 OF MY DOOR HANDLE PANELS ARE CRACKED AND BROKEN. THE BACK DOORS R SO BAD YOU CAN'T OPEN THEM TO GET OUT. IT'S GRADUALLY HAPPENED OVERTIME. WE HAVE ONLY HAD OUR JEEP FOR 1 YEAR AND 5 MONTHS. IT GETS WORSE EVERY TIME WE USE IT OBVIOUSLY AND IT'S OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. HOPE YOU CAN HELP. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN WITH A JEEP VEHICLE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE FIXED. THANKS.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKE ON 4.7L V8 ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET.

MY HUSBAND WENT TO EXIT THE VEHICL AND THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE. WE ARE NOW NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF THIS. VERY CHEAPLY MADE AND FALLING APART PRIOR TO COMPLETELY BREAKING OFF. DOOR IS NOW UNUSABLE UNTIL I PAY A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE REPAIRED!! THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT!! IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES THE SAME AS THE INTERIOR PLASTICS OF THE ACTUAL HANDLE ARE ALREADY COMPLETELY BROKEN OUT. THE PIECES LITERALLY CRACK AND FALL OUT! THE ONLY FIX AT THE DEALER IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL AND A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH. MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO NOW THIS IS AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE SINCE CHRYSLER DECIDED TO USE CHEAP AND UNRELIABLE PARTS. THE DOOR HANDLE PIECE IS REPLACEABLE FROM AN AUTO PARTS STORE. THEY ARE $140.00 EACH PLUS LABOR FOR SOMEONE TO DO THE WORK. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!! IN DOING RESEARCH THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THIS IS HAPPENING TO!!!

WAS DRIVING MY JEEP AT NIGHT WITH MY INFANT IN THE BACK SEAT, 55MPH. SUDDENLY ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD AND PARKING ASSISTANCE LIGHTS IN THE BACK ALL LITE UP. AT THE SAME TIME THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AS WELL. THEY CAME BACK ON ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN. I SWITCHED THE LIGHTS OUT OF AUTO. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE HEAD LAMPS DID NOT GO OUT, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH STILL FLASHED AND HEAT WENT OFF. IT RESUMED THE WHOLE WAY HOME BUT NEVER FULLY LOST POWER. IT STILL DOES THIS ON A DAILY BASIS, MULTIPLE TIMES. I FEEL AS IF IT'S GETTING WORSE BUT NO ONE CAN DIAGNOSE AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. CONSIDERING THE AIRBAG WARNING AND OTHERS(ALL OF THEM) LIGHT UP, I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND MY SONS. TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING IT SEEMED WORSE. EVEN TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE EFFECTED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. TODAY MY SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAGE... EVERYTHING ON MY DASHBOARD LITE UP AND MY METERS QUIT WORKING. IT ALL RESUMED AS NORMAL AFTER IT HAPPENED BUT IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES DURING A 10 MINUTE DRIVE. SOMETIMES BACK TO BACK TO BACK. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN I NOTICED MY TURN SIGNALS ALSO WENT OUT AT THAT TIME, WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE TURNING. HAPPENS NO MATTER IF STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

I TOOK MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ( 63000 MILES ) TO THE DEALERS FOR THE N23 RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER,SO THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF AND ROLL AWAY. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CODE; SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM APPEARED ON THE DASH. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR A DIFFERENT RECALL, I TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK IF THE REFLASH HAD CAUSED THIS ERROR CODE. JUST LIKE I HAVE READ ON JEEP FORUM AND ONLINE NEWS ARTICLES, THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE N23 RECALL. THEY WANTED $350.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM,PLUS LABOR AND PARTS TO REPAIR THE CAR. I BELIEVE THE ANTIOCH JEEP DEALERSHIP KNOWS THAT THE RECALL REPROGRAMMING OF THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER SHOWED THAT THERE IS A CRACKED CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE UNIT AND THAT IT IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM IN OVER 250,000 CARS. I WOULD ASK YOUR HELP IN BRING THIS PROBLEM OUT INTO THE OPEN,SO ALL CAR OWNERS IN MY SITUATION,ARE NOT ASKED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. ALSO I ASK THAT YOU HELP US MAKE THE JEEP CORPORATION STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, DO THE RIGHT THING, AND MAKE THIS REPAIR FREE THROUGH A NEW RECALL.

THIS IS REGARDING THE P-41 RECALL NOTICE FOR THE 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FEB. 2016 TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED AND I FIND THAT THE RECALL WORK HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN AS COMPLETE ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEBSITE ONCE I ENTERED THE VIN NUMBER AFTER BEING TOLD THE WORK WAS COMPLETED BY THE DEALER. IT STATES ON THE SAVECAR.GOV WEBSITE THAT PARTS TO FIX THE P-41 RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND SEEMS TO HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I AM WONDERING HOW DO I KNOW THAT THE DEALER REALLY DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM? THEY DID SOMETHING BECAUSE MY IGNITION IS NOT WORKING THE SAME AS IT WAS PRIOR TO MY TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER. IT IS A HARD TURN OF THE KEY, TO TURN ON AND OFF THE ENGINE. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND I OFTEN WONDER IF I WILL HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION ONCE THE VEHICLE IS OFF BECAUSE THE KEY ACTS AS IF STUCK. THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS WILL OPERATE SMOOTHER IN TIME. DESPITE THIS, I STILL WONDER IF THE RECALL WAS ACTUALLY FIXED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN AS COMPLETE ON THE WEBSITE AND THE PART HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE. I ESPECIALLY FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE THIS WAS MY HUSBAND'S VEHICLE AND HE DIED IN JUNE 2015. THE DEALER HAS ALWAYS MAINTAIN THIS VEHICLE AND THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT IS NO LONGER ACTIVE BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. IN ADDITION TO REGULAR DRIVING, I USE THE VEHICLE TO TOW A BOAT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE RECALL NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT OTHERS DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.
