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.

THIS IS REGARDING THE P-41 RECALL NOTICE FOR THE 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FEB. 2016 TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED AND I FIND THAT THE RECALL WORK HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN AS COMPLETE ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEBSITE ONCE I ENTERED THE VIN NUMBER AFTER BEING TOLD THE WORK WAS COMPLETED BY THE DEALER. IT STATES ON THE SAVECAR.GOV WEBSITE THAT PARTS TO FIX THE P-41 RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND SEEMS TO HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I AM WONDERING HOW DO I KNOW THAT THE DEALER REALLY DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM? THEY DID SOMETHING BECAUSE MY IGNITION IS NOT WORKING THE SAME AS IT WAS PRIOR TO MY TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER. IT IS A HARD TURN OF THE KEY, TO TURN ON AND OFF THE ENGINE. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND I OFTEN WONDER IF I WILL HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION ONCE THE VEHICLE IS OFF BECAUSE THE KEY ACTS AS IF STUCK. THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS WILL OPERATE SMOOTHER IN TIME. DESPITE THIS, I STILL WONDER IF THE RECALL WAS ACTUALLY FIXED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN AS COMPLETE ON THE WEBSITE AND THE PART HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE. I ESPECIALLY FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE THIS WAS MY HUSBAND'S VEHICLE AND HE DIED IN JUNE 2015. THE DEALER HAS ALWAYS MAINTAIN THIS VEHICLE AND THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT IS NO LONGER ACTIVE BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. IN ADDITION TO REGULAR DRIVING, I USE THE VEHICLE TO TOW A BOAT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE RECALL NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT OTHERS DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

I WAITED A LONG TIME TO RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE FROM JEEP AND RECEIVED IT LATE IN 2015. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WORLD JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM IN SHREWSBURY NJ IN OCTOBER AND THEN AGAIN NOVEMBER 11, 2016. BOTH TIMES I WAS TOLD MY NAME WOULD GO ON A LIST AND I WOULD BE CALLED TO HAVE THE NEW IGNITION INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE ASAP. IT IS NOT FEBRUARY 11, 2016 AND MY JEEP HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT CALLED ME. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY 2 CHILDREN EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR.
