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.

WE OWN A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN WE START THE VEHICLE, FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN DRIVING SLOW OR COMING TO A STOP. MY WIFE WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AND SHE WAS LEAVING THE PARKING GARAGE SHE PARKED AT FOR WORK. WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING UP THE RAMP TO EXIT THE GARAGE, THE JEEP SHUT OFF ON HER AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN THE RAMP INTO A BUILDING SUPPORT PILLAR. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE BACK BUMPER AND TAILLIGHT. WE WERE LUCKY NOBODY WAS HURT OR BEHIND HER WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WHEN I DRIVE THE JEEP IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN. WHEN I LEAVE FOR WORK IN THE MORNING AND ARRIVE AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT, THE JEEP WILL SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES IT TURNS GREEN AT THE SAME TIME SO I HAVE TO SHIFT BACK TO NEUTRAL TO START UP, MAKING SOME PEOPLE MISS THE GREEN. WHEN I LEAVE WORK TO HEAD HOME, EVERY TIME I PULL UP TO THE GATE TO LEAVE, IT SHUTS OFF. IT JUMPS FORWARD WHEN IT SHUTS OFF, SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I WILL HIT THE GATE (HAVE TO GET CLOSE TO GATE IN ORDER FOR SCANNER TO READ GARAGE ACCESS PASS). PLEASE MAKE A SOLUTION FOR THIS RECALL AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WE GOT LUCKY WITH JUST A MINOR ACCIDENT SO FAR. *TR

PASSENGER REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKEN OFF DUE TO CHEAP, DEFECTIVE PLASTIC THE DOOR PANEL IS MADE OF. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, ALL 3 OF THE OTHER DOORS HAVE THE SAME CRACKS IN THE DOOR PANEL - IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE PLASTIC ON THOSE CRACKS AND CHIPS OFF, AND THOSE DOOR HANDLES ALSO BREAK OFF. YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE ONCE THE HANDLES BREAK OFF - THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DOORS. THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE THAT HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WHERE BROKEN DOOR HANDLES ARE CONSIDERED NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR". THE COST OF REPAIR IS $600-$700 PER DOOR PANEL - CHYRSLER NEEDS TO OWN THE FACT THAT THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND COVER THE COST FOR THEIR OWNERS. THERE ARE MANY, MANY POSTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE FROM HUNDREDS OF JEEP OWNERS - IT IS INEXCUSABLE.

DOOR HANDLE HAS TO BE SET BACK INTO PROPER POSITION BEFORE DOOR CAN BE OPENED. THIS IS CONCERNING WHEN I CONSIDER EXITING THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY.

BROKEN CAR DOOR HANDLE/PANEL ON BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS. DRIVER SIDE IS GETTING SO BAD, I AM CONCERNED AND NERVOUS THAT ANY DAY NOW, I WON'T BE ABLE TO OPEN DOOR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS AND WAS INFORMED THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER "EXTENDED WARRANTY" AND COST WOULD BE OVER $1000 TO REPLACE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL AND THAT'S JUST FOR ONE DOOR. EXCEPT FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH IS BEYOND MY CONTROL, I KEEP MY VEHICLE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND IT HAS VERY LOW MILES, BUT THE UNSIGHTLY DOOR HANDLE/PANELS JUST MAKES THE APPEARANCE OF MY JEEP LOOK LIKE TRASH BESIDES THE FACT THAT THIS IS NOW BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN COMPLETELY DUE TO THE COLLAPSE OF STRESS CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC. THE FRACTURE CAUSED A MINOR LACERATION ON MY RIGHT HAND. THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS LATER TO THE RIGHT REAR DOOR AND I NOTICED THAT THE REMAINING DOORS HAVE MAJOR STRESS CRACKS IN THE SAME PLACE AND ARE NOT SAFE TO OPERATE. WE MUST OPEN THE WINDOW TO OPERATE THE OUTSIDE HANDLES TO EXIT THE AUTOMOBILE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS ALL PASSENGERS ,ESPECIALLY CHILDREN AND THOSE UNABLE TO REACH THE OUTSIDE HANDLES QUICKLY, WOULD BE AT SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND TO A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE SAFETY PROBLEM AND DID NOT OFFER ANY HELPFUL SOLUTION OTHER THAN TO REPLACE THE FOUR DOOR PANELS AT MY EXPENSE. I WILL HAVE TO DO THE REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH RISK TO MY FAMILY HOWEVER IT IS NOT FAIR THAT A LARGE COMPANY IN THE US CAN IGNORE SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY RISK TO IT'S CUSTOMERS. HOPEFULLY AN ACCIDENT DOES NOT HAPPEN, PARTICULARLY AFFECTING CHILDREN OR SENIORS, BEFORE THEY SERIOUSLY ADDRESS THE DEFECT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF CONCERNS RAISED THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET IT DEFINITELY AFFECTS MANY PEOPLE. I BELIEVE IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NHTSA TO PROTECT US FROM LARGE COMPANIES THAT KNOWINGLY PLACE US IN A SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATION. PLEASE DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL IN ORDER TO KEEP US SAFE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKS AROUND THE PLASTIC. MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE HAS ACTUALLY COME OFF. I AM CONCERNED FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. ONCE YOU ARE IN THE CAR YOU CANNOT EXIT THROUGH THAT DOOR. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THE SITUATION IN DECEMBER 2013. WHEN THE REAR DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF. I CONTACT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATE IMMEDIATELY, AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER WEEKS OF GOING BACK AND FORTH THEY FINALLY AGREED TO PAY ONLY ONE THIRD OF THE TOTAL COST. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART, AND SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 100% OF REPLACEMENT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. *TR
