Car will pop out of gear and into neutral while driving at speeds under 60mph. Car has been owned by me since it had 9000 miles and has been serviced regularly and is a low mileage car. Desintegrating door panels, issues with transmission that could cause loss of control in traffic, what next. Chrysler maintains that there are no recalls for these known safety hazards. Crazy.

Door · Structure
When attempting to exit the vehicle the door handle cracked the door panel and released the door handle from the door leaving it unusable and the door unable to be exited. Was attempting to flea vehicle and was trapped inside due to weak plastic failing in the door handle. In the event there was a fire or even toxic gas in the car cabin, there would have been a fatality. Extremely unsafe and should be recalled. *tr

Every time we have a rain storm, the front floor driver's side gets soaking wet. I have to lay down towels to dry it and then let the sun do the rest.

It appears to come down the tract on the outside and runs in under the carpet on the driver's side only. I don't want it…

Purchased a new 2006 grand chrokee. After i reaching 1,200 miles the vehicle began to shudder or surge, almost feeling like a miss. This may happen at any speed, and in any driving condition, but especially between 35-60 mph. Believe it or not it was worse when it was cloudy and cool or damp.
