2006 JEEP LAREDO — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS OR THE HIGHWAY THE JEEP LOSSES ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, BRAKES SEEM TO NOT WORK INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO MY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AT LEAST 7 TIMES. I JUST PURCHASED THE JEEP FEB. 2016. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS YESTERDAY AUG. 22 2016

ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON MY DAUGHTERS JEEP CRACKED AND HER BACK HANDLES ARE NOW INOPERABLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE! IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, MY DAUGHTERS PASSENGERS WOULD BE STUCK INSIDE THE CAR CAUSING INJURY OR EVEN DEATH!!! MANUFACTURER CHARGE TO REPLACE/REPAIR IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE. $500 PER DOOR!!!! THIS IS LIKE A 1/3 OF THE VALUE OF THE CAR AT THIS POINT. MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL IS WARRANTED!!!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED AND WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKED AND DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR NO LONGER FUNCTIONS EITHER FROM INSIDE OR OUT. DEALERSHIP ADVISE THAT ALL FOUR DOORS (IN ITS ENTIRETY) WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED, AND NOT JUST THE HANDLES. WE'RE AWAITING FOR A QUOTE FROM THE DEALERSHIP BUT WAS ADVISED THAT IT COULD BE A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR EACH DOOR. PLEASE BE ADVISED THIS IS MY 3RD SUBMISSION. I BELIEVE THAT DEFECTS SUCH AS THIS SHOULD BE SHOULDERED BY JEEP, AND NOT THE OWNER. DOOR HANDLES SHOULD BE MADE IN THE HIGHEST QUALITY AS THIS IS AN ENTRY/EXIT POINT OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE WORSE HAPPENS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE WITH THIS.
