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.

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.

Power train, automatic transmissionSep 14, 2005
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L ENGINES AND NAG1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CONDENSATE WATER MAY ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. THIS CAN RESULT IN SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT.

IF NO LEAK IS DETECTED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR SHIELD WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF THE PRESENCE OF A LEAK IS DETECTED, THE VEHICLE WILL BE EVALUATED FOR SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER ENGAGEMENT. IF NO SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE TRIPLE FLUSHED, AND NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED.

THE N23 RECALL WAS PERFORMED WHICH WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT NOW RECOGNIZED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR MOTOR WAS BAD. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR AT A COST TO ME OF $900. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF DRIVING THE "4WD SYSTEM" ERROR POPS UP AGAIN ON MY DASH AND I CAN'T PUT MY VEHICLE INTO 4WD LO AGAIN. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS - SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 21-022-14 REV. A. NO ONE FROM CHRYSLER INFORMED ME ABOUT THIS SO I HAD TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM FOR HOURS ON MY OWN. THIS IS BAD BUSINESS AND THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE INFORMED OF THIS. *TR

IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS ROUGHLY, MY HUSBAND HAS ACCIDENTALLY KNOCKED THE KEY OF OUR JEEP WHILE COMMUTING TO/FROM WORK A LF A DOZEN TIMES AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY MINNEAPOLIS FREEWAY. FORTUNATELY, IT HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT (YET). IT HAPPENED AGAIN JUST LAST WEDNESDAY! WE DID RECEIVE AT LEAST 2 RECALL NOTICES FROM JEEP, HOWEVER, WHEN WE CALL TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT, THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED US THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS YET. I CALLED AGAIN YESTERDAY AND IT WAS THE SAME STORY. SO I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. THEY GAVE ME THE SAME STORY AND OFFERED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OTHER THAN TIPS TO TRY TO NOT KNOCK THE KEY, WHICH WE HAVE TRIED THEM ALL ALREADY. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE!! MY HUSBAND CANNOT BE REPLACED AND I HAVE HEARD CLOSE TO 30 PEOPLE HAVE DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS P41 RECALL ALREADY. HE WILL NOT BE ANOTHER ONE! MY COMPLAINT IS THAT WHEN A CUSTOMER IS ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE, CHRYSLER IS NOT OFFERING ANYTHING TO HELP US OUT UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I WOULD EXPECT THAT OFFERING LOANER JEEP OR WORKING WITH US TO REPLACE THE JEEP WOULD BE MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE THAN A LAWSUIT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY HUSBAND. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND FRUSTRATED AT THEIR LACK OF INTEREST TO HELP US OUT. *TR
