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.

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.
IT CAN LEAD TO INCREASED TRANSMISSION OPERATING TEMPERATURES, BOILING OF THE WATER, AND A SUBSEQUENT PURGING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION FOR LEAKAGE AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. 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. IF SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TORQUE CONVERTER WILL BE REPLACED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 31, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

I PURCHASED SOME HAWK BRAND ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS TO REPLACE WHAT I HAD OEM. IMMEDIATELY, THE PRODUCT BEGAN TO FAIL. AFTER HAVING THE PRODUCT ON THE VEHICLE FOR 2000 MILES THE BRAKE PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY WHO REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY PRODUCT. THERE WAS INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE, WHICH CREATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS THE BRAKE PADS NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING FORWARD WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE.

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO CORRECT GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP. TOPS OUT AT 3,000 RPMS AT 60MPH. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. BUT WILL AT LEAST HAPPEN 2 TIMES A DAY. WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. THIS MOST LIKELY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IN TRAFFIC. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND START TO TAKE OFF. I HAD THE CENSERS CHANGED IN THE TRANSMISSION BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY KNOW.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD, MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED, GAS AND BRAKE PETAL WERE NOT WORKING, BASICALLY MY CAR WAS GOING ON ITS OWN. WORST PART WAS THAT IT WAS GOING ON A SLANT WHILE OTHER CARS DRIVING 45/50 MILES PER HOUR HEADING TOWARDS ME. I COULD NOT STOP MY CAR, NOR DRIVE MY CAR, NOR TRY AND STEER MYSELF TO A SAFE LOCATION. MY CAR JUST KEPT GOING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I HAVE ALMOST LOST MY LIFE 2 TIMES ALREADY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. EVERYTIME I GO TO CHRYSLER... THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHAT IS GOING ON. WHEN WILL THIS BE FIXED AND HOW?
