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 WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 50MPH AT NIGHT WHEN ALL ELECTRICAL CUT OFF INCLUDING MY HEADLIGHTS I WAS TRAVELING IN THE DARKNESS AT THAT SPEED HARDLY ABLE TO SEE THANKS TO A CAR BEHIND ME AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. JEEP HAS BEEN STALLING WAY TOO MUCH AS WELL AS CRANKING FOR 3 SECONDS AND RUNNING AND THEN CUTTING OFF INSTANTLY THE ONLY WAY I CAN FIX THESE PROBLEMS IS UNHOOK BATTERY EVERY TIME AND WITHIN MAYBE MINUTES IT MAY OCCUR AGAIN.....THIS IS ALL DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH THE P41 RECALL IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES ON THESE JEEPS THAT I WAS SENT NOTICE ALMOST A YEAR AGO. WHAT'S THE HOLD UP ON THESE PARTS!? LET'S GET MOVING....THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING OR FEEL RELIABLE ABOUT GETTING FROM POINT A TO B.

APPROX. 2012, THE CASING THAT THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE SITS ON CRACKED AND BROKE APART; AND, AS A RESULT, THE DOOR COULD NO LONGER BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE BECAUSE THE HANDLE WAS NO LONGER SECURED AND JUST HANGED. I NOTICED APPROX. A YEAR AGO THAT THE HANDLE'S CASING WAS CRACKED ON BOTH THE BACK DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDES. SINCE, THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE HAS BROKEN AND THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. I JUST NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS ALSO CRACKED AND WITH TIME IT WILL ALSO BREAK AND THE DOOR CAN NO LONGER BE OPENED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS BECAUSE ONCE THE CASINGS BREAK IT DOES NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE. I AM IN AWE THAT THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED WHEN MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME SAFETY CONCERN. THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF WEAR AND TEAR BECAUSE VERY SELDOM DOES ANYONE SIT IN MY BACK SEATS. NO DESIGN OR DEFECT SHOULD COMPROMISE THE HANDLE WHERE A PASSENGER IS NOT ABLE TO EXIT A CAR. *TR

DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF ON THE DRIVER DOOR AND EVERY DOOR HANDLE IS ABOUT TO BREAK. DUE TO VERY WEAK AND DRY PLASTIC USED TO MAKE FROM JEEP. EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL OF THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. CHILDREN OR ADULTS IN SEATS NOT KNOWING HOW TO GET OUT OF CAR IN AN EMERGENCY COULD BE DEADLY.

AT APPROXIMATE JUNE 2014 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. CHRYSLER SAID APPROX. DELIVERY OF SEPTEMBER 2014. I HAVE NOT HEARD OR RECEIVED ANYTHING SINCE THEN. MY CONCERN OTHER THAN THE UNSAFE IGNITION SWITCH SITUATION IS THAT EVERY TIME I USE MY JEEP, MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF CONTINUOUSLY. AS TIME GOES ON, THE WORSE IT GETS. MY DEALER SAYS HE HAS CHECKED OTHERS VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM; HIS BEST GUESS IS IT'S RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. HE ALSO SAID THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE A CONCERN BECAUSE IT MAY ACTIVATE AT ANY TIME...EVEN WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT! CHRYSLER TOLD ME NOT TO BE CONCERNED...HOW CAN I NOT BE CONCERNED? WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL FREEWAY. HAD JUST MERGED ON AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. ONCE REACHING 65 MPH THE VEHICLE FELT LIKEN IT SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR. ONLY LASTED FOR A SECOND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. 1/3 MILE LATER IS HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW. HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY A TORQUE CONVERTER OR TRANSMISSION. THERE IS RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE FOR IGNITION ALSO. WHICH CHRYSLER HAS YET TO RESOLVE. HAVE THEY REALLY FIXED THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE? OR NOT? THIS VEHICLE APPARENTLY HAS CAUSED MANY PEOPLE PROBLEMS AND I MYSELF HAVE HAD TWO OF THESE EXACT JEEPS. BOTH HAVE BEEN COMPLETE CATASTROPHES. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY SCARY AND VERY UNSAFE FOR ANY DRIVER. I HAVE NO MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM NOR WILL THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER HELP WITH THE ISSUE. I HOPE YOU CAN SOMEHOW HELP ME. I'M BEGGING YOU. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. SO EVERYONE CAN HAVE A SAFE EXPERIENCE ON THE ROADWAYS. *TR
