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.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS HAD CONTINUOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND STALLING SINCE IT HAD ABOUT 9000 MILES ON IT AND WAS BOUGHT NEW. DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT IT SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD NOT EVERY FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND USUALLY CLEARS OUT FAILURE AND PROBLEMS OCCUR SHORTLY AFTER AGAIN. AFTER THE VEHICLE STRANDED ME A WEEK AGO AND ONCE AGAIN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUND NOTHING WRONG-REPLACED THE BATTERY, THE VEHICLE IS STALLING MORE THAN EVER AND ALMOST HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL BECAUSE THE POWER WENT OUT DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH POWER STEERING GONE AND CAME CLOSE TO GETTING HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. WAS ABLE TO THROW INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART, BUT THIS IS NOT A SAFE CONDITION. THE AREA ON INTERSTATE WAS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN DECELERATING BELOW 30 MPH. *TR

I OWN A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BROKEN. TO GET OUT OF MY CAR I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW, OPEN MY DOOR AND THEN OPEN THE REST OF THE DOORS FOR MY 3 KIDS. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION IN CASE I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THERE IS A FIRE. IF MY JEEP TURNS OFF HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ROLL DOWN THE ELECTRICAL WINDOW AND ESCAPE OUT OF MY CAR. OUR SAFETY IS IN GREAT DANGER BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLES THAT ARE NOT EVEN FORCED AND BREAK OFF SO EASILY. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE WITH MY JEEP IS THAT WHEN I START IT AND START DRIVING, THE ELECTRICAL BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT, THE ENGINE LIGHT, THE ABS LIGHT AND SOME OTHER LIGHT TURN ON. AFTER THE LIGHTS TURN, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NO LONGER WORK, I CAN'T SEE HOW MANY MILES PER HOUR I AM DRIVING. I HAVE TO TURN OF THE JEEP, RESTART IT AND THAT WILL MAKE THE SPEEDOMETER WORK BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. IN A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS I HAVE COME TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE VEHICLE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL TURN OFF DEAD. I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT AGAIN. *TR

I'M THE ORIGINAL USER OF A JEEP GRANDCHEROKEE LAREDO,2005, WITH A 64,000 MILES. THE HAZARD IS THAT ALL(4)INTERIORS DOORS HANDLES BROKEDOWN DUE TO CHEAP PLASTIC MATERIALS AND BECAUSE THEY MADE THE DOOR HANDLES AS AN INTEGRATE PART OF THE COMPLETE DOOR PANEL.THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DOOR OPENS ONLY FROM OUTSIDE, PUTTING ALL OCCUPANTS LIFE JEOPARDIZED. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING OF HEAVY USE OR DUE TO BEHAVIOR OF THE OCCUPANTS. AS A FACT THIS CAR WAS MY COMPANY CAR SO NO MANY PEOPLE WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. THE COST OF THIS FOUR PANELS(INCLUDING THE HANDLES) IS ABOVE THE $2,000.00. I SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS IN OTHER SITES ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THESE SUV'S IN EUROPE. I CAN SEND YOU PHOTOS IF YOU CONSIDERED NECESSARY AND THE DETAILS OF THE CAR IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS IF YOU MAY THINK IS NECESSARY TO CONTINUING FINDING THE SOLUTION OF THIS HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, 3.7L ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF, LOSING ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WILL START AFTERWARDS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR A FEW HOURS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A COUPLE YEARS. THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO THE RECALL ON THE 2008 GRAND CHEROKEE STALLING AND I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN CHRYSLER WANTS TO ADMIT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A JEEP DEALER WHO RECENTLY RELOCATED IN MY AREA NEXT WEEK. *TR

WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER BUT WERE TOLD THAT THE BAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

LIKE MANY I HAVE READ MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. I'VE READ THIS IS LIKELY A CLOCK SPRING FAILURE. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS WITH A "DING" NOISE AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY (EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES). RESEARCHED ON INTERNET TO SEE WHAT THE CAUSE MAY BE AND NOTICED THAT MANY OTHERS ARE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE 1999 TO 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S. THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS A CLOCK SPRING FAILURE AND MADE TO PAY $310+ TO HAVE IT FIXED.

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS AND HANDLES TO OPEN THE DOORS ARE ALL BROKEN. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $600-700 PER DOOR TO REPLACE. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT RENDERING THE PASSENGERS UNABLE TO OPEN UP THE DOORS. THE CHRYSLER CORP SHOULD DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS OBVIOUS AND DANGEROUS DESIGN/MANUFACTURING ISSUE. AS A RESULT OF THE BROKEN DOOR PANELS, THE DOOR HANDLES WILL NOT PROPERLY OPEN UP THE DOORS FOR BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS. IF THERE IS EVER AN ACCIDENT AND THOSE DOORS ARE THE ONLY ESCAPE ROUTE, THEY WILL RENDER THE PASSENGERS TRAPPED IN THE CAR. *TR
