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.

Air bags, Sep 8, 2015
AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE FROM MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER ON THE AFTERNOON OF THURSDAY AUG 27TH, WHERE IT HAD BEEN FOR A WEEK FOR SERVICE REPAIRS, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE REMOVAL OF THE CONSOLE TO REPAIR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD SHOWING AIR BAG DEACTIVATED WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION UNTIL THIS LAST FRIDAY SEPT. 4TH, AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING, AND THEY DID FIND A WIRE THAT WAS DISCONNECTED, BUT THERE WAS A SENSOR THAT HAD FAILED. THEY REFUSE TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY DID SOMETHING DURING THE EMERGENCY BREAK REPAIR PERIOD THAT DEACTIVATED THE AIR BAGS AND TOLD ME THE $480 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE SEAT SENSOR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS REPAIRED, I CANNOT SAFELY TRANSPORT A PASSENGER IN THAT FRONT SEAT, SO I HAVE AT THIS TIME NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THIS DEALER MAKE THAT REPAIR.
Steering, Service brakes, Engine, Sep 8, 2015
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK DOWN AN INCLINE/HILL ON 9/2, THERE WAS TRAFFIC AHEAD, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE BREAKS LOCKED. I PULLED THE E-BREAK AND SWERVED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, LUCKILY WITHOUT ANY CRASH. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT HAD A TOW TRUCK TOW IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO VERIFIED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BREAKS, AND NOTIFIED ME OF THE RECALL P41 ON THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF AND POWER STEERING AND BREAKS TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NOT ONLY ARE THE PARTS NOT AVAILABLE BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE AND THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THIS AS THE PROBLEM WITHOUT REPLICATING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SO IT IS UNCLEAR TO ME WHY THE ISSUE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLICATED. I HAVE A BABY AND DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR, AS RECOMMENDED BY JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP, AND RISK ACCIDENT TO MYSELF OR OTHERS UNTIL THE PART IS IN AND FIXED. I CAN'T BELIEVE JEEP WOULD ASK ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOT ONLY KNOWING THERE IS A RISK BUT AN ACTUAL PROBLEM. I THINK IT'S FAIR THAT JEEP PROVIDE ME WITH A SAFE ALTERNATIVE FORM OF TRANSPORTATION IN THE MEANTIME.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE MY HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHT BEING TO FLASH UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT AND LEAVE IT TILL THE MORNING. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS BUT NO ONE HAS THE EXACT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.
Electrical system, Aug 31, 2015
THE IGNITION APPEARED TO DROP ALL GAUGES, BLOWER, WARNING LIGHTS, ETC. THE ENTIRE DASH WENT DEAD AND ALL CONTROLS WENT DEAD AS FAR AS GAUGES, INTERIOR LIGHTS, FAN MOTOR, ETC., ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO KEEP RUNNING. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE, AND WE HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A YEAR FOR JEEP TO GET THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE SWITCH. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE SWITCH WITH A NEW SWITCH MATCHING THE SAME PART NUMBER, BUT ALSO HAVE NOT SECURED REPLACEMENT SWITCHES. IT APPEARS THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SOURCE SWITCHES FOR CARS IN PRODUCTION THEY WISH TO SELL, JUST NOT THE ONES AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. PERHAPS IF SOMEONE HALTED SALES OF NEW CARS UNTIL THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS PROVIDED REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THOSE UNDER RECALL, WE WOULD HAVE BETTER PERFORMANCE ON RECALLS.

I WAS REVERSING AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE, WHEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, IT KILLED THE ENGINE AND COMPLETELY SHUT IT OFF. ALL ELECTRONICS REMAINED ON. I THEN REAPPLIED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED INTO PARK AND STARTED THE ENGINE UP AGAIN, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME AND NOT EVERY TIME AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE.

ALL FOUR OF MY DOOR PANELS HAVE CRACKED/DISINTEGRATED BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLE. AUGUST 1, THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE IS NOW NON FUNCTIONAL REQUIRING THE LOWERING OF THE WINDOW TO EXIT VEHICLE. THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IN A CRASH. DEALER STATES ALL DOOR PANELS MUST BE REPLACED AT PART COST OF $450 EACH (INSTALL EXTRA) - THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT GIVEN THAT ALL FOUR DOORS HAVE DONE THIS AND THERE ARE MANY INTERNET THREADS ABOUT THE ISSUE.
