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.

Engine and engine cooling, Electrical system, Sep 30, 2011
DRIVING APPROX 50 MPH, THE JEEP QUIT, NO WARNING SIGNS, NO POWER STEERING. MOMENTUM GOT ME OFF THE ROAD. DEALERSHIP WASN'T ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED IN MARCH 2011. SEPT 2011 I WAS PASSING A TRANSIT BUS ON THE WAY TO WORK AND AS I STARTED TO PULL BACK INTO MY OWN LANE THE JEEP QUIT AGAIN. NO WARNINGS, IT JUST QUIT. I HAD TO COAST INTO THE FRONT YARD OF SOMEONES HOUSE BECAUSE I HAD NO STEERING. I SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES, STARTED IT UP AND DROVE BACK HOME. THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS LIGHT, ESP, BAS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. FROM THAT POINT THE JEEP WAS RUNNING VERY BADLY. DEALER HAD MY JEEP FOR 6 DAYS AND SAID IT WAS A MAP SENSOR ON THE MANIFOLD. GOT THE JEEP BACK AND BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, IT QUIT. A COUPLE TRIES AND IT RESTARTED. I'M VERY UPSET THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS PUT ME IN HARMS WAY ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I COULDN'T IMAGINE DRIVING ON A TWISTING STEEP ROAD AND HAVING IT QUIT. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED THE DAY I WAS PASSING THE BUS. I'M NOT CONVINCED THE MAP SENSOR IS THE PROBLEM AND I DON'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE. I DRIVE A LOT AND TRANSPORT MY KIDS. WE ARE ALL IN DANGER IN THIS VEHICLE. MAINLY BECAUSE, IT GIVES YOU ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT IT'S GOING TO QUIT, IT JUST SHUTS DOWN AS IF I SHUT THE KEY OFF. I HAVE ONLY THE IGNITION KEY ON THE KEYRING SO I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HEAVY KEYS PULLING ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. I AM NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT, THEY ARE ALL OVER THE WEB, IT IS AN ISSUE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BECOME DANGEROUS. *TR

MY DASHBOARD LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND CLICKING MANY TIME FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES THIS IS THE 4 TIMES THIS HAPPEN, I TOOK MY CAR 3 TIMES BEFORE TO THE DEALER AND THEY DO NOT FINE ANYTHING IN MY CAR AND THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT BEGINNING THESE YEAR AND MY CARD JUST HAVE 68,564 MILES. I LEFT MY CAR LAST SATURDAY 08/28/11 AND THEY TOLD ME IS NOT ANY THING IN THE COMPUTER, I SAW ONLINE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. I DO NOT WANT SOMEBODY HAVE A ACCIDENT BEFORE CHRYSLER FIND THE PROBLEM WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2006. *TR
Electrical system, Aug 23, 2011
MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CONTINUALLY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENTIRE CONTROL PANEL SHUTTING DOWN, GAUGES GOING TO ZERO, A/C STOPPING, AND HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF WHEN THEY ARE ON. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE STABILIZATION LIGHTS CAME ON AND A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE MADE. THIS HAS PROBABLY HAPPENED 30 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IN ABOUT A 5-10 SECOND TIME SPAN. THIS PAST WEEK IT STAYED THAT WAY FOR AROUND 15 MINUTES. AS SOUNDS TYPICAL, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS NOTHING IS SHOWING UP. I'VE HAD IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THIS PAGE IS LITERALLY COVERED UP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE ON THIS ONE SITE (MANY OTHERS CONTAIN THIS SAME COMPLAINT) TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? DO I JUST HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP FOREVER AND SPEND MONEY ONLY TO NEVER GET ANYONE TO FIX IT, OR DO I WAIT UNTIL I HAVE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT? I DON'T REALLY HAVE THE MONEY TO SCRAP AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND START OVER WITH NOTHING. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? *TR

Electrical system, May 29, 2011
WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE LAST NIGHT,MY DASH LIGHTS AND MY HEAD LIGHT FLASH ON AND OFF AND SOMETIMES THEY GO OFF AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM,AND I WOULD HAVE TO LET IT GET WORSE AND IT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN WHEN THEY WERE DRIVING IT TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT..IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED SOON BEFORE IT CAUSES A CRASH AND SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
Power train, Electrical system, May 19, 2011
AT APPROXIMATELY 78K MILES, VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY START AND THE ONLY SYSTEM THAT WAS OPERATIONAL WAS THE RADIO. I CLEANED AND INSPECTED ALL CONNECTORS THAT I COULD ACCESS, AND PROBLEM APPEARED TO GO AWAY. THEN JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED (80K MILES) INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAVE BEGUN TO APPEAR. THE TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES "STICKS" IN 3RD GEAR, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO FUNCTION AND WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TURN THEM ON IT CRASHES THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WHICH THEN BEGINS RUNNING RANDOM SYSTEM ERRORS, AND THE HEADLIGHTS SOMETIMES TURN OFF OR FAIL TO COME ON. *TR

MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKER ON MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHILE DRIVING WHEN I TURN ON THE HEAT WITH THE FAN. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET DISCOVERED WITH A GOOGLE SEARCH. I CALLED JEEP AND BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION, BUT THE PERSON I SPOKE TO DIDNT SEEM TO INTERESTED AND SAID NOTHING WOULD BE DONE UNLESS NHTSA RECIEVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. THERE RESPONSE SEEMED PRETTY LAX FOR WHAT I CONSIDER A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
Electrical system, Interior lighting, Jan 6, 2011
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE DASH LIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF AND TURN BACK ON WITHOUT WARNING. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE IT SHUTS OFF BUT THE ENGINE STAYS RUNNING. THE RADIO PRESETS STAY PROGRAMMED. HAS ONLY DONE IT TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH AND I'VE OWNED IT FOR 3 YEARS. SEEMS TO DO IT IN THE EXTREME COLD, BUT VEHICLE IS FULLY WARMED BEFORE I DRIVE IT. I USUALLY LET IT RUN 20 MINUTES BEFORE I LEAVE ON DAYS WHEN IT IS REALLY COLD( USUALLY BELOW 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT) ALL OF THE GAUGE LIGHTS SHUT OFF, THE RADIO, INTERIOR LIGHTING. HAVEN'T NOTICED IF EXTERIOR LIGHTING GOES OFF AS WELL. *TR
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Interior lighting, Jan 4, 2011
I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN 2008 WITH 26K MILES. BESIDES A MALFUNCTIONING ELECTRONIC SHIFTER IN 2009 EVERYTHING HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT UNTIL 1/2/2011. AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30PM WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS (EXCEPT FOR THE MAP LIGHTS) BEGAN TO FLICKER AND THEN FAIL. THE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN FAIL. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE NEXT 30 MILES AND PERSISTENTLY WORSENED UNTIL I GOT HOME WHEN THE LIGHTS REMAINED OFF FOR 15 TO 20 SECONDS AT A TIME. EACH TIME IT FAILED WHILE DRIVING I CYCLED THE SWITCH, CYCLED THE BRIGHTS AND TRIED ANYTHING I COULD TO GET THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON. NONE OF THESE METHODS WORKED. UPON GETTING HOME SAFELY I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER TWO RESTARTS. I WENT TO BED AND TRIED IT IN THE MORNING AND THE LIGHTS WORKED FINE FOR A 70 MILE DAYLIGHT DRIVE TO THE DEALER. JUST RECEIVED WORD FROM THE DEALER THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND DANGEROUS TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD IN THIS CONDITION EVEN IF IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE EVERY TWO YEARS. *TR
Electrical system, Nov 11, 2010
HAD COMPLAINED TO DEALERSHIP THAT ALL LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL ALL COME ON AND GO OFF AT THE SAME TIME, AND WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. THEY TOLD ME TO TRY WIGGLING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ON SAID DATE THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING, BUT THIS TIME MY ABS ENGAGED, WHICH STOPPED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY, I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN ANYWAY. HOWEVER, HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE, I WOULD BE DEVASTATED TO KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. ALSO, IT SOUNDED AS IF MY STARTER WAS TRYING TO START AGAIN. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND MAY PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WHO HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT THINGS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT IT SEEMS AS IF NO ONE HAS BEE ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE EVEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HOW SHOULD SOMEONE PROCEED WITH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS? IT SEEMS AS IF THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STEP IN AND MAKE CHRYSLER DO A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT SO MANY OF US ARE HAVING.

2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE - ALL SAFETY WARNING LIGHTS AS WELL AS ENGINE LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF, RPM GAUGE DROPS, ALL LIGHTS AROUND GEAR PANEL LIGHT, DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN.

MAY HAPPEN A FEW TIMES IN A ROW AND THEN GO AWAY FOR DAYS OR WEEKS. LOST POWER BRAKES AND STEERING AS WELL A FEW TIMES, LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS RESULTED DUE TO LOSS OF POWER. YOU CAN HEAR A CLICKING NOISE WHEN THE PANEL LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING ON AND OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. I HAD A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION SERVICE AS WELL. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000.
Electrical system, Sep 20, 2010
TWO ISSUES OCCURRED THAT ARE LIKELY THE RESULT OF THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST IS THE HEADLIGHTS WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING OR CAUSE. THE SECOND, THE MORE RECENT OF THE TWO PROBLEMS, IS THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WILL LIGHT UP THEN POWER DOWN COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE STILL RUNS (ENGINE) BUT ALL GAUGES DROP AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE OFF, A/C SHUTS OFF, RADIO SHUTS OFF, ETC. WHEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT, ALTHOUGH A BRIEF ONLINE SEARCH TURNED UP DOZENS AND DOZENS OF SIMILAR INSTANCES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: DURING THE DUSK\TWILIGHT HOURS ALL THE SYSTEM LIGHTS BEGIN TO 'BLINK\FLASH' OFF AND ON AS IF THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. HEADLIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FLASH ON AND OFF. THIS ONLY OCCURS DURING 'DUSK OR TWILIGHT' HOURS. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. AT COMPLETE DARKNESS, IF I APPROACH A LIGHTED PARKING LOT OR ESTABLISHMENT IN ABOUT 3 TO 4 MINUTES THE LIGHTS WILL BEGIN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. MY THOUGHT IS SOME LIGHT DIMMING SENSOR.
