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.

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.

MY JEEP JUMPS TO THIRD GEAR RANDOMLY, AND IT ENDS UP JITTERING AND SHAKING. MY CAR GOT STUCK SO MANY TIMES AND ENDED UP BEING STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT.

I HAD TO PAY THE GUY $500 AND ALSO GOT ALL THE FLUIDS AND OILS CHANGED IN HOPES OF GETTING THIS FIXED, BUT TO NO AVAIL. YESTERDAY, I SPENT $450 ON THESE FLUID AND OIL CHANGES ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CONTINUE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND JEEP HAS NO ANSWERS.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WITH 3.7 LITER MOTOR SHOWS ALL FOUR GEARS PARK NEUTRAL REVERSE AND DRIVE "PRND" ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE CHECK ENGINE OBDII CODE U0103 (CAN BUS COMMUNICATION LOST WITH THE SHIFTER). THIS CONDITION REOCCURS EVERY 1 TO 7 DAYS APPROXIMATELY. WHILE IN THIS MODE THE VEHICLE IS IN LIMP MODE STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE WITH THIS CONDITION ON BACK ROADS BUT IT WILL CLEAR AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MILES IN LIMP MODE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WITH THIS CONDITION PRESENT. IT CLEARED WHILE THEY WERE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO REPEAT WHILE DRIVING IT WITH MY PERMISSION FOR THREE WEEKS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK AFTER THREE WEEKS AT DEALESHIP AND PROBLEM REOCCURRED AFTER TWO DAYS OF DRIVING. TRYING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU CANNOT EXCEED ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR CAUSING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON ROADS WITH SPEED LIMITS HIGHER THAN 30 MPH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME I AM STUCK WITH A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE

"TAKATA RECALL" I PURCHASED A JEEP FOR 7,500. PUT 3,000 DOWN AND FINANCED THE REST. NEXT DAY, THE AXLE BOOT WAS BROKE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED IT. AT THAT TIME, I REALIZED THEY GAVE ME A 29% FINANCE RATE. SO I BOUGHT THEY VEHCILE RIGHT OUT BY WRITING A CHECK FOR $4890. WITH ASKING IF THE VEHCILE HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES OR BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ANY SERIOUS ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WORK, I WAS PROMISED THE VEHCILE WAS IN GOOD STANDING CONDITION. NEXT DAY, WITH MY FIANCE AND MY 20 MONTH OLD SON IN THE NEWLY PURCHASED VEHCILE, HEADED OUT FOR A VACATION. ABOUT 10 MINS FROM OUR HOME AND THE AXLE THEY JUST REPLACEDON'T BROKE AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT. THE VEHCILE HAD NO EMERGENCY BRAKES AND NO HEAR, NOT EVEN PARK. I HAD TO PULL INTO A PERSON'S YARD AND DO DONUTS UNTIL IT STOPPED. GOT IT TOWED HOME AND CALLED THE BANK AND CANCELLED THE CHECK. NOW THE HAVE TOWED THE VEHCILE AWAY AND SAY I WRITE BAD CHECKS. YET I HAVE PAPERWORK FROM THE BANK SUPPORTING MY CANCELLATION ON THE CHECK AND RECORD OF FUNDS TO PURCHASE THE VEHCILE. SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE NOW. I DID PURCHASE "AS IS"....YET, THAT DOESN'T UPHOLD TO FRAUD AND WARRANTY OF MECHANISM ON THE VEHCILE.
