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.

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.

THE RECALL IS OVER A YEAR OLD AND STILL NO REPLACEMENTS PARTS HAVE BEEN EVEN DESIGNED. ISN'T THERE A TIME LIMIT ON THIS?

Steering, Service brakes, Engine, Jun 29, 2015
I HAD MY VEHICLE VALET PARKED WITH A SINGLE KEY IN THE IGNITION. UPON RECEIVING MY CAR I GOT INTO THE DRIVE SEAT AND PROCEEDED TO PUSH MY SEAT FORWARD SINCE I HAD A PASSENGER BEHIND ME AND WAS PROVIDING EXTRA LEG ROOM. WE PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE PARKING AREA OF THE HOTEL AND AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 15 MPH I TURN TO ADJUST AND ITEM ON THE REAR FLOOR WHEN MY KNEE HIT THE KEY AND THE ENTIRE CAR WAS SWITCHED OFF. I HAD NO STEERING SINCE IT WAS IN LOCKED POSITION AND THE BRAKES WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE ENGINE WAS OFF. I AM JUST GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. WHY IS IT TAKING CHRYSLER (FIAT) ONE YEAR TO GET A FIX FOR THIS RECALL?

SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE JEEP, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE WHOLE DASH LIGHTING UP AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS NOTIFIED BY CHRYSLER, ON 09/29/14, ABOUT A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. AS OF TODAY, 6/26/15, THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS ISSUE, OBVIOUSLY, MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MY DASH KEEPS LIGHTING UP AND NOW THE BRAKES ARE GIVING ME ISSUES. WE HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED OUT, ROTORS AND CALIPERS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AS WELL AS SENSORS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPROVEMENT WHICH MEANS IT IS RELATED TO THIS RECALL. I AM TEMPTED TO VISIT A LAWYER IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER AS IT IS VERY SERIOUS AND CAN COST MY FAMILY, AS WELL AS OTHER FAMILIES, THEIR LIFE. UPDATED 09/10/15*JB
