What owners report most often
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.

Power train, Jun 17, 2016, crash
DEAR RECIPIENT, I AM REACHING OUT TO MAKE OTHERS AWARE OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY FAMILY'S 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, ONE OF MY MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE GEARS FROM PARK TO NATURAL. THE SUV WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A SLIGHT DECLINE IN SLOPE. DUE TO THE DECLINE AND THE VEHICLE BEING IN NEUTRAL IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS WITH MY FAMILY MEMBER INSIDE. WE WERE CLEANING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT SO ALL THE DOORS WERE OPEN. THE JEEP PICKED UP SPEED, HIT OUR FENCE, AND ROLLED OUT ONTO A PUBLIC ROAD AND INTO OUR NEIGHBOR'S YARD. LUCKY NOBODY WAS HURT, EXCEPT FOR THE JEEP. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY OR OTHER CIVILIANS AROUND THE SCENE. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH MY JEEP, ONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN MADE INTO A RECALL WITHOUT FIXES. THIS RECALL IS ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH GOING FROM ON TO OFF WHILE DRIVING. I CAN SAY FROM EXPERIENCE THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN; YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL YOUR VEHICLE BESIDES HAVING BRAKES. YOU LOSS POWER STEERING AND EXPERIENCE ENGINE FAILURE IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY TRAFFIC. BESIDES THAT RECALL, THE DRIVETRAIN BEING ABLE TO BE SWITCH IN A PARKED POSITION WITHOUT THE KEYS BEING IN THE IGNITION IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING, WHICH COULD HAVE KILLED MY SON, OR OTHERS AROUND. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING SAFE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN, AND THAT HAS FALLEN VERY SHORT FROM EXPECTATIONS . I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE VEHICLE ISSUES CAN BE SWEPT ASIDE; I MIGHT AS WELL KEEP MY OLD VEHICLE MADE IN 1984. PLEASE TAKE THESE COMMENTS INTO CONSIDERATION AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I TOOK MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ( 63000 MILES ) TO THE DEALERS FOR THE N23 RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER,SO THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF AND ROLL AWAY. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CODE; SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM APPEARED ON THE DASH. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR A DIFFERENT RECALL, I TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK IF THE REFLASH HAD CAUSED THIS ERROR CODE. JUST LIKE I HAVE READ ON JEEP FORUM AND ONLINE NEWS ARTICLES, THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE N23 RECALL. THEY WANTED $350.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM,PLUS LABOR AND PARTS TO REPAIR THE CAR. I BELIEVE THE ANTIOCH JEEP DEALERSHIP KNOWS THAT THE RECALL REPROGRAMMING OF THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER SHOWED THAT THERE IS A CRACKED CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE UNIT AND THAT IT IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM IN OVER 250,000 CARS. I WOULD ASK YOUR HELP IN BRING THIS PROBLEM OUT INTO THE OPEN,SO ALL CAR OWNERS IN MY SITUATION,ARE NOT ASKED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. ALSO I ASK THAT YOU HELP US MAKE THE JEEP CORPORATION STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, DO THE RIGHT THING, AND MAKE THIS REPAIR FREE THROUGH A NEW RECALL. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
