Electrical system, ignitionSep 17, 2014
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2008 Chrysler 300 vehicles manufactured May 31, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Dodge Magnum vehicles manufactured May 23, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Dodge Charger vehicles manufactured May 24, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured April 3, 2007, to May 12, 2008, and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured March 21, 2007, to May 12, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the ignition key (FOBIK) may not return to the "ON" position after being rotated to the "START" position, instead sticking between the two positions. Potentially, while the vehicle is being driven, the ignition may inadvertently move through the "RUN" position to the "ACCESSORY" or "OFF" ignition position, turning off the engine.
If the ignition stays between "START" and "ON" positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the "OFF" or "ACCESSORY" position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch and key FOBs, free of charge. The recall began August 19, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P57.

MY RADIATOR FAN BLADE BROKE OFF AND FLEW INTO MY RADIATOR. THE PIECE OF FAN THAT BROKE OFF FLEW INTO MY RADIATOR PUNCTURING A HOLE INTO THE LOWER PART OF THE RADIATOR. A HOLE WAS MADE FROM THE BLADE HITTING IT AND CAUSING ALL THE ANTIFREEZE TO LEAK OUT. THIS IS SECOND TIME IN A TWO YEAR PERIOD BACK-TO-BACK THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. AND THE REPAIRS AND PARTS COSTED ME DEARLY. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON MID WAY. AND THE AS THE FAN WAS TURNING THE BROKEN BLADE GOT STUCK AND THE FAN STARTED TO SMOKE ALMOST CATCHING FIRE.

RECALL L08 ENGINE COOLING FANS, THIS RECALL IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEN TO MY CAR. COOLING BLADES BROKE AND WENT THROUGH THE RADIATOR. CALLED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN AS I WAS TOLD RECALL ISN'T ON MY EXACT VIN. THEY TOOK MY COMPLAINT AND SAID IT WAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT TOUGH LUCK BECAUSE THE RECALL WASN'T ON MY VIN. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE FRONT YARD TILL I CAN AFFORD TO FIX IT ONLY HAD THE CAR 2 MONTHS. SITTING AT THE LIGHT FELT LIKE SOMEONE BUMPED THE BACK OF MY CAR BUT THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. COOLANT STARTED TO LEAK THROUGH THE A/C VENT. PULLED OVER AFTER THE LIGHT CHANGED AND TOWED THE CAR HOME AS IT JUST STARTED TO SHOW THAT IT WAS GOING TO OVERHEAT. WE REMOVED THE COOLING FAN AND SAW THE BROKEN BLADES AND THE WHOLE IT MADE IN THE RADIATOR. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THE BLADES ARE CHEAP AND BREAK EASILY. WELL HELLO IF I AM GOING TO PAY THAT MUCH I HOPE THAT A VEHICLE IS GOING TO SOMEWHAT HOLD TOGETHER. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM HAD JUST REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND INSPECTED THE FAN AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. THEN IT JUST BREAKS I CAN TAKE AND SEND PICS IF NEEDED. THANK YOU

ON THE EVENING OF 09/17/2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 2200HRS, MY WIFE WAS LEAVING A LOCAL STORE PARKING LOT WHEN SHE HEARD A NOISE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. SMOKE AND FLUID BEGAN COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. SHE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT IT OFF. I RECEIVED A FRANTIC PHONE CALL AND RESPONDED TO THE LOCATION TO FIND THAT A LITTLE MORE THAN HALF OF THE ELECTRIC RADIATOR COOLING FAN BLADES HAD DESENTIGRATED INTO PIECES, CUTTING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE IS NOW INOPERABLE AND PARKED AWAITING TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS WARNING SIGNS OF THIS EVENT HAPPENING AND AM VERY GLAD MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHERS FROM DODGE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MUCH MORE SERIOUS INCIDENT HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS.
