Recalls and investigations
Electrical system, ignition, switchJul 21, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
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, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, through March 9, 2010; and 2006-2010 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, through March 10, 2010. A transfer case electrical failure may result in an unintentional shifting of the transfer case into the neutral position.
If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the final drive controller which governs the transfer case, with new software, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N23.

Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Sep 6, 2015
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED BLINKING ON AND OFF AT A VERY FAST PACE. I COULD NOT GET THEM TO STOP BLINKING. I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AND IT STOPPED. THIS HAS HAPPED MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME THINK I AM TRYING TO MAKE THEM PULL OVER AND LET ME BY. THIS WEEK MY HEADLIGHTS CAME ON DURING THE DAYTIME AND THEY WERE IN THE OFF POSITION. I NEVER HAD THEM ON. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THIS CONDITION. MY HEADLIGHTS COME ON WHEN I USE MY KEY REMOTE TO UNLOCK MY DOORS. IT IS NOT SET TO DO THIS AND WE CAN NOT GET IT TO STOP. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN THIS WILL RESET THE HEADLIGHTS FROM BLINKING BUT THEY ALWAYS START AGAIN WHILE I AM DRIVING. I CAN NOT FIND ANYBODY THAT KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF AFTER DRIVING 0.1 MILES OUT OF THE ALLEY IN 2012 AND AGAIN IN 2013 AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE DRIVEN AND IT SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IN NEUTRAL, BUT OF COURSE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES UNTIL IT COULD RESTART. I THOUGHT IT WAS A COLD ENGINE, HOWEVER I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER 9/3/2014 AND ASKED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH BE REPLACED. IT IS NOW 1 YEAR AFTERWARD AND THEY STILL HAVE NO PARTS TO REPAIR, ONLY SUGGEST THAT I USE A SINGLE KEY. HONESTLY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE, IT IS TIME TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT APPARENTLY THEY CAN'T MANUFACTURE THE PARTS IN 12 MONTHS.
