Two problems related to paint have been reported for the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee based on all problems reported for the 2005 Grand Cherokee.
Vehicle had bird droppings on hood. Washed off same day and ate right through paint down to metal. Jeep will not cover repairs. Noticed that clear coat either does not exist on this vehicle or is very thin. Noticed other spots where bird droppings have left marks on paint and chips in paint all over vehicle. I have owned several vehicles and never have seen paint this bad.
Within weeks of the purchase of this vehicle on 1/06, paint on bumper began to have small chip marks. As of 7/06 I have noticed more chip marks and also a rub mark where the paint has just rubbed off easily, with no structure damage to the bumper. Also paint nubs ( bubbling) around door handles and paint is coming off of driver door handle at creases. It seems as if paint is poorly applied.
