Roaring road noise when driving. None while sitting still. Even with new tires the roar remains. Sometimes it is so loud if talking to someone in the vehicle, it is difficult to hear them. Sometimes it is a soft roar.

After cranking my jeep, the passenger side had a loud clicking/ticking sound. It sounds like the airbag is trying to connect but doesn't. It has continued to make this sounds off and on since. No service lights come on. I have not taken it in since it doesn't do it every time. I did ask about it when getting my oil changed. No one could tell me anything unless they take the dash out and i can't be that long without…

I received a safety recall (p41 nhtsa 14v-438 on my vehicle back in september of 2014. It been a year and chrysler doesn't have a part or way to remedy the defect. As a consumer, i have a right to have defective products or materials fixed within a reasonable time frame, and over a year later isn't timely or reasonable.

June of 2014 and still to this day the gear shift can be moved from "p" to any gear, and that is when no keys are in the ignition/and no foot on the brake. I was working under the hood and my 4 year old son did just that and almost ran me over. I checked and the vehicle had no keys in it they were with me in my tool box because i didn't want him to do just that. I checked out the situation to make sure it wasn't a…

Every time while driving the air bag light on dash is always on. Then upon driving, suddenly the seat belt alarm starts buzzing even though all seat belts are latched properly. Then the engine light will come on. Shortly after the dash goes completely black. All alarms and lights go out along with the heating/ac. This is on a routine basis. *tr

There has been an outstanding recall on the keys/ignition similar to gm. It is older than the hills but fiat chrysler hasn't done anything about it except waiting for parts. I believe i have waited long enough before we have a tragedy. Intermittently, the dash lights go on and go off. It has been traced to the ignition switch.

All of the interior door handle are broken. All four of them were replaced once. A few months after being replace they all broke once again. So now the doors can only be opened from the outside, and to get out of the car the windows have to be rolled down to open with the outside handle. The jeep dealer was called. They told me that it wouldn't be covered by the warranty because of the mileage and called it "wear…

Interior door handle of passenger door in the back seat behind the driver cracked and fell off. The driver side door handle is doing the same thing and is about to fall off. The car was stationary, and i believe this is a safety hazard because if the car was in an accident, occupants would not be able to exit the vehicle.

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!*** manufacturer charge to replace/repair handles is prohibitively expensive: in my case, the cost of eight (8) monthly car payments!

The interior door panels on 3 of the 4 doors on my grand cherokee are broken and show stress fractures around the interoir door handle, the part of the door behind the interior door handle that is attached to the rest of the door panel. This part is very weak and prone to fracture, making the interior door handle fall free into the vehicle. The doors are barely operable and i am worried in a collision these doors…
