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.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF....NOW IT GOES OFF FOR A LONG PERIOD (50-100 MILES) AND THEN COMES BACK ON.....AND OFF AGAIN....AND ON AGAIN. THERE IS A RECALL #F39, CAMPAIGN ID 06V295000 BUT I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THIS RECALL WAS ADDRESSED ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO A RECALL P41 FOR IGNITION SWITCH BUT I HAVE CHECKED TWICE AND THE DEALER SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT???? I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THE PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE?

ALL FOUR OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE PLASTIC PARTS (I BELIEVE THEY ARE CALLED CUPS) HAVE BROKEN. THIS HAS CAUSED THE HANDLES THEMSELVES TO BECOME LOOSE AND UNSTABLE. THE HANDLE ON ONE OF THE DOORS (RIGHT REAR DOOR) HAS ALSO NOW BROKEN, CAUSING THAT DOOR TO BE UNUSABLE FROM THE INSIDE, WHICH HAS CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OR ACCIDENT. UPON INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE VIA INTERNET SEARCH, I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY JEEPS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2005-2010. THE SAFETY ISSUES ARE URGENT AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP IMMEDIATELY.

Air bags, Jul 12, 2015
THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IN MY CAR STAYS ON AND I WAS TOLD MY AIR BAG BAR IN MY STEERING WHEEL IS BROKEN. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IF THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON THEN THE AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT I MAY HAVE A BROKEN AIR BAG BAR IN MY STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS OF GREAT CONCERN AS IF I DO GET AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAGS DON'T WORK THEN THERE MAY BE INJURIES AND POSSIBLE FATALITIES.

LIGHT BULBS BEHIND THE CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT AND INFORMATION CENTER BLOW. CONSOLE IS DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE BLOWN LIGHT BULBS CANNOT BE REPLACED AS THEY ARE FUSED TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD OF THE AFFECTED UNIT. ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE AFFECTED UNIT (LIKE THE WHOLE CLIMATE CONTROL), WHICH IS QUITE EXPENSIVE. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW SINCE THE BULBS ARE NEITHER MAINTENANCE-FREE (AND LONG-LASTING) NOR SERVICEABLE. OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH BLOWN CONSOLE LIGHTS AT NIGHT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAUSE THE DRIVER TO TAKE THE EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WHILE TRYING TO OPERATE UNLIT CONSOLE EQUIPMENT. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN 2005-2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WK AND 2006-2010 JEEP COMMANDER.

I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN 2009. SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I EXPERIENCED ENGINE POWER LOSS & POWER STEERING LOSS. I TOOK MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM AT THE TIME. THIS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES, YET THE DEALERSHIP NEVER FOUND THE PROBLEM. IN 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER (RECALL P41) STATING THE SOME JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. THEY ADVISED IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. PER RECALL P41, "THIS INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH AND DISABLING ONE OR MORE OF THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDING THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS." I WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME SO I CALLED CHRYSLER'S GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-853-1403, AND WAS ADVISED THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM I WAS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY UNBORN CHILD, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO MY VEHICLE ALREADY. I CALLED CHRYSLER BACK RECENTLY AND TOLD THEM IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO ME, WHILE I HAD MY HUSBAND AND NEWBORN IN THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY & MY ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF! I WAS SCARED TO DEATH! I ASKED CHRYSLER FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE TO USE UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THEY SAID THEY DO NOT OFFER THAT. SO I AM SUPPOSED TO KEEP DRIVING THIS "DEATH TRAP?" I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS JEEP, BUT DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER CAR NOW. PLUS, I HAVE A NEWBORN BABY TO THINK ABOUT. I FEEL THEY SHOULD OFFER RENTAL VEHICLES TO PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. I TOLD THEM IF THIS HAPPENS TO ME & I GET IN AN ACCIDENT, I WILL BE SUING THEM SINCE THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS AND WAS UNWILLING TO HELP ME.

EVERY TIME WE HAVE A RAIN STORM, THE FRONT FLOOR DRIVER'S SIDE GETS SOAKING WET. I HAVE TO LAY DOWN TOWELS TO DRY IT AND THEN LET THE SUN DO THE REST. IT HAS LEAKED SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2010 BUT KEEP WAITING FOR A RECALL. I FOUND A RECALL FOR A 2007 JEEP LIKE MINE FOR THE SAME LEAKAGE PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO COME DOWN THE TRACT ON THE OUTSIDE AND RUNS IN UNDER THE CARPET ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ONLY. I DON'T WANT IT TO MOLD OR RUST OUT MY FLOOR SO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR
