1 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2010

The passenger side window on my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo will not roll up (after dropping down into the door on the highway).

2 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 11/25/2009

I own a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has 4 interior door handles broken. To get out of my car I have to roll down my window, open my door and then open the rest of the doors for my 3 kids. This is a scary situation in case I am involved in an accident and there is a fire. If my Jeep turns off how am I supposed to roll down the electrical window and escape out of my car. Our safety is in great danger because of defective door handles that are not even forced and break off so easily. Another problem I have with my Jeep is that when I start it and start driving, the electrical brake system light, the engine light, the abs light and some other light turn on. After the lights turn, the speedometer will no longer work, I can't see how many miles per hour I am driving. I have to turn of the Jeep, restart it and that will make the speedometer work but the engine light will not go off. In a couple of occasions I have come to make a complete stop with the vehicle and all of a sudden it will turn off dead. I have to put the vehicle in park and restart it again.

3 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 01/22/2009

While driving the entire electrical system fails; lights start flashing, heat goes out, all system warning lights flash ( brakes, tire pressure, service 4 wheel drive system, check engine light comes on), I was able to contiue to drive the car but the lights flashed continously for approximtely 15 miles. This has happened mutiple times since I purchased the SUV June 2005. The dealership runs test by say they cannot find anything wrong. I have read on the internet that this is happening to many owners of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the dealers and mechanics at the dealership cannot find anything wrong. This is a dangerous situation as many people also loose power and the SUV shift into low gear. I am afraid to drive my Jeep now because the check engine light keeps coming on and off. I am going back to the dealership again for some more stupid "I did not find anything wrong" statements. Originally I was told it was because I had a remote starter so I has it disconnected and the problem still exists.
