Horn blows for no reason , at any time . Blows when drive a 60 miles an hour , just setting in driveway . Have taken it to dealer , still have same problem . It's a safety problem , because people think I am blowing at them and mad and wont fight . Need a fix for this problem .

I am 6'4" tall. The seat in the limited edition 5. 7 l has insufficient travel in the vertical direction. My head rests against the ceiling under normal driving conditions unless I slouch a lot or put the seat back way back at which point I can no longer grip the steering wheel well.

While departing philadelphia airport , entering ramp to access interstate 95, the vehicle lost all power, engine, power steering and brakes would not work. Head lights were still functioning. We physically pushed the vehicle off the highway, so other drivers and municipal bus drivers would stop screaming at us. The vehicle would not start. After calling the police and a tow truck, about 30 minutes later , the vehicle started. We had the vehicle towed to our home 100 miles away in new jersey. The vehicle would start and remain running for about 15 minutes, then would shut down again, same issues. Several sensor codes came up on a readout but nothing has been done to the vehicle. At this point it is functioning, but we are afraid to drive the vehicle. Any help or recall info on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Was driving and all a sudden check elect braking system light came on and yhe abs started to pulse only on oen side without even touching the break pedal. Almost wrecked. This will be the legacy for Jeep with this problem going on all over the internet. Will be my last Jeep . To bad to cause I am ready to purchase a new vehicle. They know all about the problem but choose to let the owner and family get killed first. And from what happened to me I could happen very easily.

My car was recalled by Chrysler under p41/NHTSA 14v-438. That was in July and I just called the dealer and they still don't have the part. How much longer do I have to wait?.

Hemi motor stalled, back-fired, caught fire in engine compartment and lost control of steering. Vehicle accelerated and left the road and flipped onto six cars in parking lot. At that point inside of vehicle caught fire. Passengers were a 5 year old boy and the driver was a 63 year old male. Seven vehicles were destroyed in this accident.

2005 Jeep cherokee rack steering went out already and obviously Jeep won't back this for its not under "warranty". But when you call they say if you get it fixed by one of our guys you "may" qualify for special financing?. . . What is that all about?. . . "special financing". . . So they can make more money off you?. . . This Jeep is literally driven about 14 miles a day 5 days a week on the highway to and from work. The rest of the time we drive our car to save on gas. I just can't believe the rack steering would go out already!!. $1088 dollars later. A vehicle this young should not have steering problems. Has there been others with the same problem on their Jeeps?.

I saw the news this morning that Chrysler Jeep has admitted to a defect where the Jeep cherokees (2005) turns off unexpectedly and there are issues with the airbag. My Jeep has turned off/stalled soon after I have started driving it on a number of occasions. It sort of stalls with no power going to the engine and then a few seconds later kicks in and moves. This usually happens right after I pull out of a parking space or pull away from the curb to start driving in a lane of traffic. I have brought the car in and discussed the problem a couple times and been told there is no problem. As a separate or related issue, during one of my first services at a Jeep dealership when I left the dealership warning lights turned on -- I went back to have the issue addressed and was finally told on the fourth visit that there was a faulty software upgrade and not to worry unless a light went on and stayed on (I didn't have time to pursue the issue and I got no where with the dealership). More recently it has been the airbag light that goes on and off (if is now off). Finally, I went to the Chrysler website this morning and entered my VIN and was told there was no recall or notices. I hope that the NHTSA requires Chrysler to address this issue and/or it is addressed through a class action.
