This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the TPMS warning lamp flashed after replacing the tires. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop and the mechanic indicated that the tires were fine, yet the warning lamp continued to flash intermittently. At times, the vehicle was hesitant to start. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14V438000 (electrical system) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown. Updated 09/03/15
I currently drive a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, and I have been having trouble with the TPMS tire valve stem spontaneously breaking causing rapid deflation. So far two have broken, but fortunately the car was not moving on both occasions. It appears the valves broke due to corrosion. My concern is that this may occur at a high rate of speed, causing a loss of control.

I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with TPMS sensors installed. Apparently, metal caps were installed on the valve stems that oxidated together making their removal impossible without twisting off the valve stem, flattening the tire. I can't even get a replacement TPMS valve replacement from Jeep (mopar) because they are on backorder (due to high demand because of problems like this). This creates an unsafe driving situation--I can't check my tire pressure because the cap is frozen on to the stem--if I try to remove it, the stem will break, and there is no supply of TPMS replacement parts. These should have never been on the market installed this way-they should have had rubber/plastic caps installed.
The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving approximately 55 mph on normal road conditions, the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The indicator remained lit until the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated that the failure was related to the air bag sensor and ordered the part for the repair. The failure and current mileages were 55,000. Updated 2/9/09 the tire pressure light illuminated as well. Updated 02/13/09.
Passenger seat belt light and red air bag light on dash comes on intermittently then stays on. Air pressure light comes on and tires are at normal psi. Some days both lights come on together.
Red air bag light on dash comes on intermittently then stays on. Air pressure light comes on and tires are at normal psi. Some days both lights come on together. I have taken Jeep in four times for same problem in 17 months and its doing it again within 3 months of last service.
: the contact stated while changing the gear from drive to reverse there was a clicking noise. This occurred intermittently. While attempting to apply pressure to the accelerator pedal the engine made a roaring noise and the vehicle failed to pick up speed. The dealership rebuilt the transmission, however no other repairs have been made. The manufacturer has been alerted. Updated 6/27/2006 - the vehicle battery would not hold a charge. The headliner had to be replaced because it was unraveling.. the sunroof motor had to be replaced. The transmission was rebuilt on 2-27-06 with on 90000 miles. The memory seat did not move back at times when the key was removed from the ignition. The tire pressure monitoring system was inoperative. The power steering pump was binding and had to be replaced.
