What 2006 Jeep Laredo owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
All four interior door handles on my daughters jeep cracked and her back handles are now inoperable. This is a dangerous safety issue! In case of emergency, my daughters passengers would be stuck inside the car causing injury or even death!!! Manufacturer charge to replace/repair is prohibitively expensive. $500 per door!!!! This is like a 1/3 of the value of the car at this point. Manufacturer safety recall is warranted!!!!!!!

All 4 door handles have cracked and driver side passenger door no longer functions either from inside or out. Dealership advise that all four doors (in its entirety) will have to be replaced, and not just the handles. We're awaiting for a quote from the dealership but was advised that it could be a few hundred dollars for each door. Please be advised this is my 3rd submission. I believe that defects such as this should be shouldered by jeep, and not the owner. Door handles should be made in the highest quality as this is an entry/exit point of the vehicle. Please do not wait until the worse happens before something is done with this.

I was driving home at dark with my family in this vehicle when the headlights went completely out and everything in the dash went out. This jeep was recalled last year 2014 for the ignition switch and has to this date not been fixed, I would like to know what are the plans for repairing this situation, the headlights now will flicker on and off there is no specific time or date when it decides to do this. I would appreciate a response to this situation since this is the vehicle that I have to drive to work and to transport my daughter to school.
Complaint for another jeep owner when driving my 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo the lights around the pnd21 will circle all of the gears and either go into neutral or 1st gear on its own while you are driving it, it happens at least 2-3 times a week. It is very dangerous when you are driving down the road - have taken to dealer said it needs electronic shift module at a cost of $750. Called customer service jeep they said they couldn't help with the cost of repair. I have looked into this problem and it seems that there a lot of these same 2006 jeeps with the same problem. They said my jeep has to many miles 85,000 - but it seems like it happens to call jeeps no mater what the mileage - I think this is a defective part and they should make it right - now matter how many miles. This is a very dangerous problem.
