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.

MY CAR WAS RECALLED IN SEPTEMBER 2014 BY RECALL # P41/NHTSA 14V-438 TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. SINCE THEN I HAVE CHECKED WITH SAFERCAR.GOV AND MY DEALER REPEATEDLY AND AM INFORMED THAT NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. ON 10-20-15 I GOT ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE SAME REASON. AGAIN, ON SAFERCAR.GOV IT SAYS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I WANT FCA TO FIX MY CAR. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS FAILED OFF AND ON SINCE MID 2014 WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 85,000 MILES. IT STILL FAILS AT LEAST A COUPLE OF TIMES A MONTH. THE RECALL NOTICE SAID TO DRIVE THE CAR ONLY WITH THE IGNITION KEY IN THE SWITCH. I HAVE REMOVED ALL OTHER KEYS AND THE SWITCH STILL FAILS. WHEN THE SWITCH FAILS THE CAR KEEPS RUNNING BUT ALL INTERIOR ELECTRICAL STUFF STOPS AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS GO ON. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING AND I HAVE NEARLY LOST CONTROL DUE TO BEING STARTLED AND BY TRYING TO RESTORE THE CAR TO PROPER OPERATION. WHAT'S TAKING IT SO LONG FOR FCA TO RECALL MY CAR AND FIX THE PROBLEM?
