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.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 3AM, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURRED 5 TIMES WITHIN A 30 MINUTE TRIP. AT THE SAME TIME THE SEAT WARMER TURNED OFF, MY SPEAKERS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HEAT WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY. AFTER THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I TURNED RADIO OFF, KEPT SEAT WARMER OFF, AND TURNED OFF HEAT BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN THREE TIMES AFTER THAT. IN BETWEEN THESE 5 INCIDENTS, THERE WAS ONE TIME THAT ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OFF COMPLETELY. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS ILLUMINATED WAS THE GEAR I WAS IN. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND CANNOT SEE YOUR SPEED. ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHED ON WENT BACK TO NORMAL WHEN I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN THE FOLLOWING 2 DAYS. ONE TIME PER DAY ONLY. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON MY IGNITION BUT NO PART HAS YET BEEN RELEASED IN ORDER TO SWITCH OUT THE DEFECTED PART. I AM THINKING MAYBE THEIR IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE DEFECTED PART AND THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES? *TR

Exterior lighting, Structure, Mar 10, 2015, crash
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

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH A NOISE OCCURRED IN THE REAR OF THE JEEP. THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER AS I SLOWED DOWN AND FINALLY STOP. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY DEALER APPROXIMATELY 85 MILES FROM WHERE IT HAPPENED. HE SAID THE REAR END WAS BADLY DAMAGED. THE COST WOULD BE EXPENSIVE, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $4000.00 TO $5000.00. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN. MY JEEP IS A PERSONAL USE VEHICLE ONLY, VERY EASY MILES AND ALWAYS SERVICED. I FEEL THIS FAILURE IS MANUFACTURE ISSUE. *TR

I AM NOW GOING ON MY 3RD INCIDENT WITH THIS PROBLEM! I LOSE ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES ON MY DASHBOARD. HEAT TURNS OFF AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, MY IGNITION TURNED OFF ON ME AND MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. EACH TIME I HAD CARS BEHIND ME AND THANKFULLY NEITHER I NOR THE CAR BEHIND ME WERE INJURED. ALL THE LIGHTS FLICKER AND GAUGES GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO WHERE I CAN NOT TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING. MY MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS ON FEBRUARY 28TH, 2015, I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO MY LIGHTS FLICKERED FOR A SECOND THEN ALL GAUGES WENT DOWN AND THE GRINDING STARTED, IT WAS AS IF I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE ON NEUTRAL, SO I THEN MOVED TO THE SIDE BECAUSE I HAD A CAR BEHIND ME AND THE CAR STOPPED. I SHUT IT OFF COMPLETELY AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON. I DRIVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY 60 MILES A DAY TO AND FROM WORK, I AM SCARED OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY CAR PREVIOUSLY TO AUTO ZONE TO SEE WHY MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THEY CHECKED IT AND GAVE ME A CODE OF U1411. I LOOKED IT UP AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE IGNITION RECALL THAT WAS SENT TO ME ABOUT MY CAR. I HAVE ALSO CALLED A FEW DEALERS TO SEE IF THE PART IS IN AND WAS TOLD NO. I HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I'M SCARED TO HAVE HER IN THE CAR WITH ME BECAUSE OF THIS! I NEED FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ASAP! *TR
