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.

AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE FROM MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER ON THE AFTERNOON OF THURSDAY AUG 27TH, WHERE IT HAD BEEN FOR A WEEK FOR SERVICE REPAIRS, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE REMOVAL OF THE CONSOLE TO REPAIR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD SHOWING AIR BAG DEACTIVATED WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION UNTIL THIS LAST FRIDAY SEPT. 4TH, AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING, AND THEY DID FIND A WIRE THAT WAS DISCONNECTED, BUT THERE WAS A SENSOR THAT HAD FAILED. THEY REFUSE TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY DID SOMETHING DURING THE EMERGENCY BREAK REPAIR PERIOD THAT DEACTIVATED THE AIR BAGS AND TOLD ME THE $480 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE SEAT SENSOR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS REPAIRED, I CANNOT SAFELY TRANSPORT A PASSENGER IN THAT FRONT SEAT, SO I HAVE AT THIS TIME NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THIS DEALER MAKE THAT REPAIR.
