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.

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.

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL FOR IGNITION SWITCH OVER A YEAR AGO. I BELIEVE MY CAR EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE ON NUMBEROUS OCCASSIONS, TO WHICH, PRIOR TO RECALL, JEEP "COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM" AND WOULD DO NOTHING TO RECONCILE MY SAFETY CONCERNS. I COULD NOT APPLY LEMON LAW. I CONTACTED JEEP DEALER, MYSTIC, CT AGAIN AFTER RECALL NOTICE AND THEY STATED THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TO BE CONTACTED BY JEEP TO REPAIR. MY JEEP WAS ON HIGHWAY MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED; ALL OF GAUGES WOULD DROP TO OFF POSITION, LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF--SOMEHOW IT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. UPON BRINGING IT TO DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, IT SOMEHOW STOPPED. THEN INCIDENT APPROXIMATELY 2.5 YEARS AGO-PARKING CAR IN LOT-EVERYTHING "LOCKED" INCLUDING STEERING AND BRAKING-ROLLED UNTIL CAR STOPPED ON ITS OWN-TOOK KEY OUT OF IGNITION-WAITED, RESTARTED AND CAR WAS FINE. DON'T HAVE EXACT DATES BUT MYSTIC CT JEEP HAS RECORD OF ALL TIMES CAR BROUGHT IN.
