During the weeks of early March, I experienced leaks of the interior of my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee dripping on the passenger side (a-pillar), driver side (a-pillar) and above the home garage door controls (overhead console) after it rained/snowed. I brought in the vehicle on March 22 to a Jeep dealership service center where it was troubleshooted with re-securing the weather strip above windshield and a gasket in the sunroof was replaced (TSB 23 040 06). However 2 days later the leak occurred again on the passenger side and driver side (abover the driver, myself) in which it does take your focus off the road as water drips on your legs/knee. The leak has yet to be resolved, as vehicle was brought in a second time on March 28 and no confirmed trouble-shoot was completed as I retrieved the vehicle back on March 31st with a theory of the leak either coming from the windshield or the sunroof. The service technicians said they would call back once more detail was investigated by the manager however I never received once call-back. Interestingly on the 28th when I brought the vehicle in he said "this was the 4th vehicle this week", among others that I myself have found online of multiple Jeep owners even the 2011 model having the same issue which is a safety issue as thunderstorm season is here and heavy downpours and leaks dripping on the driver are distractive and take focus off the road. I dont understand why a recall has not been issued from Jeep after so many owners have this issue and end up paying out of pockets for repairs to their carpets(mold), stereo damage, among other things. Fortunately I have not heard of any major accidents from this but a distraction is definately out there for drivers if it leaks or starts leaking while on a highway.

I have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited with only 50k miles and the door panels on 2 doors so far have broken out and now you can't get out of the vehicle from the inside. I have already had both front door panels/handles replaced. The plastic around the door handles is very thin and cheap and breaks very easily. This is a major safety concern for me especially with children. If these door handle/panels break then you have no way to get out of the car safely. Jeep doesn't seem to care about it and accepts no responsibility. I have done research on my own and found out that is a very common occurrence with this Jeep model, across several years models. I am extremely frustrated about the poor quality of the vehicle compartment and service by Jeep.

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited has a paint problem. Consumer states that the dealership misrepresented and unreported information about the problem of etching and peeling paint and repainting of the vehicle. The consumer also discovered extensive rust under the front seats and on the hinges, he believed there was possible moisture problem.

I own a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 limited. Within the past two weeks all four of the air vent knobs that control the flow of air both up and down and side to side on the dashboard fell off. I am a single 60 year old male and the sole driver of this vehicle. I just couldn't believe this happened. *updated 12/12/07 updated 12/12/07.

Due to the fixed forward tilting head restraint on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, it is impossible to fit a child restraint seat in the outboard positions of the rear seat. Placing more than one child restraint in this vehicle in the forward facing position is impossible.

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. I have tried everything that I knew to get the dealer and the manufacturer to repair this. It has been in the shop or down there being test driven and codes taken 8 times. They try to tell me that this was normal. No way!!!! this was extremely annoying, reduced the value of the vehicle and my faith in it. The dealer, and the manufacturer. , after extensive research have found out that there was a recall on the 2005 model for something very similar. The cause was moisture entering the transmission fill tube and causing the torque converter to shudder. Also, there were some engine fires due to this. I asked for a trade for a new vehicle and both refused. So now I am about to apply for lemon law or arbitration, or what I am allowed by law for buyb ack. I have also notified our local media, attorney general and bbb. Please tell me what else I need to do!.
