2005 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1154784
Internal NHTSA #	10680908
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2005
File date	31/01/15
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Had truck for 800 miles since purchase used from the original owner. I am 6'5" tall. Was driving on the freeway when the ignition key (1. 5" from my knee) accidentally turned the truck off due to contact with my knee. Under different circumstances, loss of power steering, most braking, and possibly airbags could be very dangerous. Hours later i read a story in the mountain news newspaper about a driver leaving the highway due to this same jeep problem. That accident was two weeks ago and the vehicle and trailer overturned on hwy 18. I mentioned this issue to a friend who had the identical 2005 jeep grand cherokee and he said the knee/key issues happened to him "several times" before he sold it. He is 6'6" tall. Secondly, all four interior door handles are falling apart and failing due to brittle plastic. They break with no notice and would prevent emergency egress from the vehicle. While it would be possible to roll the window down and open the door from the outside, with the ignition accidentally shut off that would be a problem. This is an essentially universal problem with this door handle design.
