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.

Steering, Mar 13, 2015
TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND TURNING ON THE SIGNAL FOR THE RIGHT THE HORN BEEPED. STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR SEVERAL DAYS. TURN THE SIGNAL ON FOR A RIGHT TURN THE HORN BEEPED LONGER. THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I USED THE SIGNAL AND IT IS ONLY ON A RIGHT TURN. SEVERAL DAYS LATER I TURNED THE LIGHTS ON IN FOG AND THE HORN SOUNDED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND WOULD NOT STOP. IT FINALLY STOPS ON ITS OWN. I PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AND THE HORN CONTINUED TO BLOW BY ITSELF FOR SEVERAL SECONDS EVEN AFTER THE LIGHTS AND CAR WAS TURNED OFF. IT CONTINUED TO BLOW AT INTERVALS AND I HAD TO HAVE THE HORN UNHOOKED TO STOP THE BLOWING. I HAVE OWNED JEEPS FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND WOULD NEVER HAVE CONSIDERED ANY OTHER VEHICLE. I AM NOW RECONSIDERING THIS OPTION. I DO FEEL THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART SINCE IN A VERY SHORT TIME I HAVE DISCOVERED TWO OTHERS JUST BY TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO THEM. I AM SURE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY THREE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. [XXX] I OWN THREE JEEPS, 1984, 1993 AND 2005 HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH EITHER OF THE OTHER TWO. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH TWO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH A 2007. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS PART AND SHOULD BE A RECALL BY JEEP. THE LIGHTS, AIRBAG, WIPERS ALL ARE IN THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. I WOULD LIKE SOME ADVICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER AS TO THE SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I AM WONDERING HOW THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THE GRAND CHEROKEE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. MY CAR HAS ONLY 67000 MILES AND ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED. THE BACK TWO ARE BEING REPLACED BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER WORK. THIS POSES A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH SINCE REAR OCCUPANTS WOULD BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. PERFORMING A SEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A WIDESPREAD ISSUE FOR THE GRAND CHEROKEE. *TR
