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.

Electrical system, Nov 29, 2019
WHEN COMING OFF OF THE OFF RAMP FROM THE HIGHWAY, I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. ONCE SITTING AT THE STOP LIGHT THE HEATER, DASH AND HEADLIGHTS ALL WENT OFF BUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. ALL 3 OF THE MENTIONED ABOVE FLICKERED ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE COMING BACK ON AGAIN AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED UP. THIS IS NOT RELATED TO THE IGNITION AS MY KNEES ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE KEY AND THE KEY HAS NOTHING DANGLING FROM IT. THIS IS RATHER DANGEROUS. IF I WAS STILL DRIVING AND IT HAPPENED, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE MY SPEED OR THE ROAD.
Electrical system, Oct 4, 2019
VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL INSIDE POWER - DASH LIGHTS & CONTROLS, A/C, ETC, WHETHER DRIVING OR JUST SITTING IDLING. UPON RESTART, IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. MOST TIMES IT WILL BE OK BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL NEED TO STOP. YOU LOSE ALL POWER WHEN IT HAPPENS. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A MAJOR ROAD, ALSO HAPPENED WHILE PULLING INTO MY EMPLOYER'S PARKING LOT. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AFTER A RECALL 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. MY HUNCH IS THAT IT IS STILL AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT IS NOT DETECTED WHEN TESTED ON A COMPUTER AS I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY WHY THE VEHICLE WAS DOING THIS.
Electrical system, Sep 26, 2019
HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND SOMETIME GO OFF COMPLETELY WHILE AUTO IF BEING DRIVEN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. HAVE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL PERFORMED AND ALSO HAVE HAD THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED TWICE BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH UNRELIABLE LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE FUEL PUMP, STARTER, AND CRANK SENSOR WERE ALL REPLACED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. AIRPORT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (5751 EAGLE VAIL DRIVE, ORLANDO, FL 32822, (407) 541-6200) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE THE OTHER NIGHT IN THE RAIN AND I STARTED GOING DOWN A HILL AND I HIT A LITTLE BUMP AND MY BRAKES LIKE LOCKED UP IN THE FRONT AND I WENT TO TURN INTO A DRIVE WAY AFTER IT DID THAT AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NOW TWICE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS!

DASH LIGHTS FLASHING WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. THIS CAUSES A BIG DISTRACTION AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING. ALSO MAKES THE STEREO LIGHTS FLASH. HAS BEEN GOING ON EVERYDAY FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS.
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Feb 15, 2019
DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND KEEPS BLOWING FUSES AFFECTING RIGHT SIDE FRONT AND REAR MARKER LIGHTS (TAIL LIGHT AND FRONT MARKER LIGHT RIGHT SIDE ONLY) REPLACE THE FUSE AND IT MAY LAST A DAY OR IT MAY LAST A FEW MONTHS, I SEE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT FLICKERING AND I THINK IT'S A SHORT, THE FAN RELAY FOR THE HEATER MOTOR KEPT BLOWING AND AFTER REPLACING IT TWICE AND THE BLOWER MOTOR ONCE I FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE CONNECTOR HARNESS (BAD SOLDER JOB AT THE CONNECTOR) BURNT SO BAD I'M SURPRISED IT DIDN'T CATCH FIRE!! IN MOTION AND PARKED.
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Engine, Feb 5, 2019
RECENTLY BOUGHT OUR JEEP AND HAVE DIMMING LIGHTS DUE TO LOW IDLE AND ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH STARTING IT. THERE ARE TIMES IT WONT START UNLESS THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED 5 MINS LATER AND THAT'S AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AFTER DRIVING IT. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE WIRE HARNESS FROM THE BATTERY. THE LOW IDLE IS MAKING THE LIGHTS DIM THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THAT IT NEEDS A SYSTEM UPDATE THAT CAN COST ROUGHLY 1000 WHICH I DONT HAVE. MY WIFE ALSO SAID WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING HOME THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED ON HER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SHE SAID SHE PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND BACK IN GEAR AND THEN IT ACTED FINE.

IGNITION KEY FAILURE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH LOCKS. VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT FREQUENT AND IN FREQUENT TIMES. VEHICLE SEEMS TO THINK THAT THERE IS A KEY IN THE IGNITION. DEALER HAS LOOKED AT AND REPLACED ON PREVIOUS RECALL. PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND VEHICLE WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ISSUE! VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND STATIONARY. DOES NOT START WHEN KEY IS INSERTED AND VEHICLE IS PARKED.
Electrical system, Oct 29, 2018
THE VEHICLE STARTS UP GREAT NO ISSUES, THEN WITHIN 5 SECONDS CUTS IT'S SELF OFF. NO SPUTTERING OR CHOKING, IT'S NOT STALLING, THE COMPUTER IS TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 1 OUT OF 3 TIMES STARTING IT AND SOMETIMES IF YOU KEEP STARTING IT IT WILL EVENTUALLY STAY IN, BUT OTHER TIMES IT LEAVES YOU STRANDED. THERE ARE 100S OF OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE BUT JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE PCM (OVER $2,000) REPAIR AND NOW WANT TO REPLACE 2 COMPONENTS FEEDING INTO THE PCM BC THE ISSUE PERSISTS BUT WON'T GUARANTEE THE FIX. I BELIEVE ME AND OTHERS DESERVE TO HAVE JEEP ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEPS, THAT LEAVES THEIR DRIVERS STRANDED AND VULNERABLE.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT8 ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS LEAVING A STORE AT NIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE JEEP THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR MY BRIGHT LIGHTS WAS ON I TRIED TO TURN THEM OFF NOTHING HAPPENED THEY WERE STUCK ON THEN I REALIZED I HAD NO TURN SIGNALS EITHER. WHEN I WENT INSIDE THE STORE THE BRIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I WENT AHEAD AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS AND MY BRIGHT LIGHTS STUCK ON ABOUT 10 MIN INTO MY DRIVE EVERYTHING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND I TURNED LEFT TO ENTER A HIGHWAY EVERYTHING INSIDE THE JEEP WENT BLACK I LOST ALL INTERIOR POWER GAUGES, INSTRUMENT PANEL, RADIO, AC, LIGHTS AND FANS THE JEEP STUTTERED BUT KEPT RUNNING WHEN THIS HAPPENED EVERYTHING CAME BACK ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. JUST NOW WHEN I WAS TAKING A LEFT TURN IT HAPPENED AGAIN EVERYTHING INSIDE THE JEEP DIED AGAIN AND CAME BACK ON ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY IGNITION RECALL DONE ALSO SINCE THE RECALL WAS DONE HALF THE TIME WHEN I TRY TO START THE JEEP IT WILL JUST MAKE A CLICKING SOUND AND I HAVE TO TURN IT OVER A FEW TIMES AND HOLD THE KEY IN THE START POSITION UNTIL IT WILL FINALLY START.

I HAD AN IGNITION RECALL PERFORMED, EVER SINCE MY KEY TURNS REAL HARD AND MY LIGHTS FLASH AND I LOOSE ALL THE POWER ON THE DASH, LIGHTS BLINKERS, GAS EVERYTHING.

Electrical system, Jul 28, 2018
TAKATA RECALL, THE VEHICLE LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD, HEADLIGHTS AND THE AIR CONDITIONER STOP WORKING AND GAUGES ALSO CANNOT SEE ANYTHING OR READ SPEED LIMIT, GAS GAUGE GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY! THE LIGHT ALSO FLICKER ON AND OFF AND ALL LIGHT SYMBOLS APPEAR ON, AND THEN ONLY LIGHTS ON ESP BAS LIGHT! I AM AFRAID BECAUSE OF ALL POTENTIAL DANGERS OF HAVE. NO LIGHTS ON CAN HAVE, I DRIVE THE CAR WITH MY 3 CHILDREN AND WOULD HATE FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE FLICKERING ALSO HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET, AM AFRAID OF GETTING PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ON AND OFF BEHIND THEM.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN MY LOCAL SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 6 MILES, MY VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKED ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND STARTED BEEPING. I GOT REALLY SCARED SO I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN, AND THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOW ON. I IMMEDIETELY TOOK IT TO MY TRUSTWORTHY MEHANIC AND THAT IT WHEN HE TOLD ME THE CODE READER WAS GIVING AN ERROR CODE OF U1411 IGNITION SWITCH. I DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT MY VEHICLE FITS THE DESCRIPTION (YEAR/MAKE/MODEL) OF A RECALL THAT WAS DONE ON JEEPS 2006-2007 FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES.

AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR PRE-OWNED IN 2008 WE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. AFTER BRINGING BACK INTO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, THEY FOUND NOTHING. THIS WENT ON FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS, WITH THEM EVEN KEEPING THE CAR OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. STILL NOTHING ON THE DIAGNOSTICS. THROUGHOUT THE YEARS WE WOULD NOTICE A STRONG DOWNSHIFT WHEN COMING TO STOPS AND A "CHUG" WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF LOW GEARS. FAST FORWARD TO 2018. THE JEEP FINALLY QUIT SHIFTING OUT OF FIRST GEAR...THE RPMS WOULD RACE UP AND THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T SIFT EVEN WHEN USING SHIFTER STICK MANUALLY TO THE + OR -. BROUGHT TO LOCAL MECHANIC. DID DIAGNOSTICS. FOUND SHIFTER WAS BROKEN AND REPLACED AND RESET. A FEW DAYS WENT BY AND IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. MECHANIC SAID THAT REAR WHEEL SENSOR HAD GONE BAD AND WAS THROWING OF COMPUTER BRAIN OF CAR, SO WE HAD HIM REPLACE THAT. ALL WAS GREAT. HUSBAND TAKES CAR ON SHORT TRIP AND WHILE PASSING A CAR IN THE LEFT LANE ON INTERSTATE 10 IT ONCE AGING CHUGS DOWN HARD AND HE LOSES GEARS...HAS TO PULL OVER ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE, SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTART TO GET IT TO SHIFT AGAIN. BOTTOM LINE IS THERE HAS TO BE A LONG STANDING ISSUE WITH DRIVE/POWER TRAIN & ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER BRAIN!!! WE HAVE KEPT THIS CAR IN GREAT WORKING ORDER, REGULARLY CHANGING FLUIDS AND MAINTENANCING. THERE IS NO REASON THIS CARE SHOULD BE BEHAVING IN THIS MANNER @ 12 YEARS OLD, REGULARLY MAINTAINED UNLESS THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING ISSUE WITH 2006 JEEPS. IT HAS TO BE AN OVERALL PROBLEM AND AFTER READING MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS WE BELIEVE THIS WARRANTS AN INVESTIGATION AND DEFINTELY A RECALL!!! ALL OF THE ABOVE ISSUES HAPPENED IN BOTH CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY SITUATIONS AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.
