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, Service brakes, Engine, Jan 3, 2015
THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED JUST WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY GRAND CHEROKEE. I WAS ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY GOING 75 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE.THE HIGHWAY DID NOT HAVE A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ON. THERE WAS A TRACTOR TRAILER IN FRONT OF ME, BEHIND ME AND TO MY RIGHT. MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED DECREASING IN SPEED RAPIDLY, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND IT WAS AS IF MY CAR HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. I HAD NO WHERE TO GO AS IT WAS SANDWICHED IN BETWEEN SEMIS ALL GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS UNTIL I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, PUT THE KEY INTO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTARTED IT.I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE TULSA,OK JEEP DEALERSHIP. TO SAY I WAS SHAKEN UP IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THEY RAN TESTS ON IT. CAME BACK TO ME AND TOLD ME THE CAR CHECKED OUT PERFECTLY FINE AND EITHER MY KNEE HIT THE IGNITION OR MY KEYS WERE TOO HEAVY. MY KEYS ONLY HAD MY CAR KEY, HOUSE KEY AND MY KEY FOB ON IT AND I KNEW MY KNEE HAD NOT HIT THE IGNITION. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR FROM THEN ON. THE INCIDENTS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OVER AND CORE AGAIN.SOMETIMES AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, BUT ALSO LOTS OF TIMES AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED UNDER 25MPH OR WHILE GOING FROM A STOP TO START (LIKE AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHILE TRYING TO TURN). I CONTINUED TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THE ENTIRE TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I RECEIVED THE EXACT SAME ANSWER EVERY SINGLE TIME. THEY TREATED ME LIKE I WAS MAKING THE INCIDENTS UP. THE INCIDENTS STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND AFTER MY SECOND CHILD WAS BORN WE WERE FINALLY IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY JEEP HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER A YEAR. WE ARE UNABLE TO SELL IT FOR ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT KBB SAYS ITS WORTH. AND WE ALSO FEEL LIKE WE CAN'T SELL IT CONSCIOUSLY KNOWING IT COULD KILL SOMEONE.THESE CARS ARE A DEATH TRAP AND BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL SITUATIONS FAMILIES ARE FORCED TO KEEP. *TR

P41 - CHRYSLER RECALL - FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE DETERIORATING NATURE OF THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT MY CLAIMS THAT THE VEHICLE I OWN IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE SAFETY-RECALL NOTICE IS NOW OVER 6 MONTHS OLD. CHRYSLER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY OF THE AFFECTED OWNERS A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO REIMBURSE THE AFFECTED OWNERS. AS PER YOUR WEBSITE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED A REASONABLY TIMELY SOLUTION WITHOUT COST TO OWNERS. SEE BELOW: ***-A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THE OWNER CAN DO IF THE OWNER IS UNABLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME AND WITHOUT CHARGE.*** (THIS WAS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM YOUR WEBSITE IE WHAT NEEDS TO BE ON A RECALL NOTICE) DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITHOUT HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED IS NOT AN OPTION, AS A LOSS OF BRAKES, STEERING AND EVEN AIRBAGS BEING UNRESPONSIVE AND WOULD RESULT IN MY INJURY OR DEATH. THE NOTICE SAYS SIMPLY TO REMOVE EXTRA KEYS FROM THE SWAB AND TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK. EXCELLENT PRECAUTIONS I AM SURE BUT MY PROBLEM CONTINUES TO ARISE NONETHELESS. DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND HAVING A LOSS OF POWER TO YOUR DASH, A LOSS OF BRAKES, AND POTENTIALLY NONWORKING AIRBAGS MAKE THIS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. I AM FLOORED AT THE FACT A MAJOR CORPORATION HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE, ONLY FOR 6 MONTHS TO HAVE PASSED WITH NO SOLUTION IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND JEEP BOTH SEVERAL TIMES TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE FIX, ALL TO RECEIVE NO WORD OR NOTICE OF WHEN THE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES IF I COULD HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED AND THEN HAVE CHRYSLER REIMBURSE ME, AND WAS DENIED. I AM HOPEFUL THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS AS CHRYSLER AND JEEP AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY. *TR
