This model grand cherokee has the same problem as the 07-and up. The wireless ignition module fails. I have been stranded 5 times, that's 5 tows- the dealership originally thought i was part of that recall, but had to back track. I was told "it's not broken enough" it is the same exact part as the p57 recall for the 07, so why not for the 05? There are numerous complaints from customers regarding this issue and the…

Plastic around the door handle cracked. Handle is dangling. Very dangerous. If the handle snaps my family and i could be trapped in the vehicle. Many complaints on line with same circumstances.

I was once parked and had shifted to drive but instead the jeep suddenly jumped to 3rd and my car started to go backwards and ended up hitting another car behind me. I had to pay the guy $500 and also got all the fluids and oils…

The center back seat seatbelt will not come loose. It is tightened and will not retract. I have to put my six year old on the left passenger side because i cannot seat her in the middle. It's concerning in the event of an accident, my child is susceptible to more injuries since i cannot properly seat her in the middle seat in the back.

Clicking in dashboard upon start of vehicle for approximately 2 minutes straight. I have been told there are many other jeep owners dealing with the same issue. It comes from the heater fan area. I was told by a mechanic "its working now, its going to be expensive when it goes, as it's like $1000.00 to take the dash off".

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!
