All 4 interior door opening handles breaking/failing: 2 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

Inner interior inside door handles cracked making the door inoperable from the interior. My nine year old daughter closed the door with regular force and the inner door handle cracked. Upon trying to open the door, the plastic completely broke making the door inoperable. This trapped her inside and prevented her from exiting. On a separate occasion, another inner door handle broke on the same vehicle and cut my hand on the sharp plastic as I tried to open the door. This would be a serious issue in an emergency. All 4 are now cracked or broken with no evidence of excessive use or improper use. No excessive impact to the inner door handles has ever been noticed. This is a common problem reported by many jeep owners on jeep forum websites.

All 4 interior door opening handles cracking/breaking/failing: 2 rear door handles totally inoperable. Driver's side handle almost completely fallin into door fram due to cracked casing. This is a jeep- these are the last things that should fail this in what is supposed to be a rugged vehicle ***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!

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving at unknown speeds, the contact looked through the rearview mirror and noticed metal debris falling from underneath the vehicle. The contact pulled the vehicle off the roadway to inspect underneath it and noticed that the skid plate under the fuel tank was bent and rotting away. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was previously at the dealer (bob richards chrysler dodge jeep ram 1666 jefferson davis hwy, graniteville, sc 29829 (855) 984-5458) for power steering replacement and transmission inspection. While the vehicle was on the lift for the transmission inspection, the dealer's mechanic noticed that the skid plate was damaged, which could have been a fire hazard with a fuel leak. The vehicle was taken back to bob richards chrysler dodge jeep ram (1666 jefferson davis hwy, graniteville, sc 29829 (855) 984-5458) where it was diagnosed that the skid plate was gone and needed replacement. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for repairs due to the less expensive cost. The contact also stated that the vehicle was serviced per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system), but the failure continued and the ignition would inadvertently turn. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact believed that the failure was related to the wiring harness and not the ignition switch. When the vehicle was started and the engine was turned off, it restarted itself seconds later. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not offer any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 152,000.

Slowly pulling up to a food mart, I applied brake to come to a normal stop. Jeep slowed slightly for a brief moment, then suddenly and powerfully accelerated approx. 3 feet forward into the building while my foot remained firmly on the brake, causing damage to both vehicle and storefront. A dangerous design flaw, this is the 2nd time the accelleration problem it has occurred (local authorized dealer thought it was fixed). I've since found many instances online with other jeep owners experiencing the same exact thing - some of which resulted in fatalities. The cause of this accident was total brake failure, and sudden unintended accelleration (sua) - an issue which former connecticut attorney general (and current senator) has urged general motors to address on numerous occasions.

Takata recall...all four inside door handles are broken, and the right rear won't open from the inside. This is a safety issue. My daughter was sick and she was trying to get out of the car but couldn't open the door. We were parked at the time.
