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.

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.

THIS COMPLAINT IS PART OF AN ONGOING RECALL (P41). WE HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST ABOUT THE IGNITION ISSUE. IT IS NOW 6 MONTHS LATER AND CHRYSLER STILL HAS NO INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN THE DEALERSHIPS WILL HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. ITS MY OPINION THAT THE RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT TO SATISFY LAWYERS IN CASE SOMEONE IS KILLED WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AS IN, "WE SENT A RECALL NOTICE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE PROBLEM". HOW LONG DOES CHRYSLER HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT GETS INVOLVED? *TR

DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN GRADE, AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, ALL POWER SHUT OFF INCLUDING ALL DASH LIGHTS, SPEEDOMETER, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. OVER THE NEXT 20 MILES ALL OF THESE SYSTEMS FLASHED ON AND OFF ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES OR MORE. THIS ERRATIC ELECTRIC BEHAVIOR CONTINUED ON A DAILY BASIS UNTIL I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP . THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY JIGGLED THE IGNITION SWITCH. I DO NOT USE A KEYCHAIN, ONLY THE KEY, SO I ASSUME THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED WHEN I DROVE OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. FOR $1,300, THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I NOTICED MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE GAS PEDAL, IT DIDN'T HELP. AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKES AND PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN, THEN IT STARTED ACCELERATING. THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD BLINK AND LATELY IT STAYS ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND OFF BUT ONCE I NOTICED THAT WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF BUT I LOST ONE FRONT HEADLIGHT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE A SPARK PLUG WHICH COST ME ALMOST 300.00. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND I SUSPECT AS OTHER OWNERS HAVE SHARED IT IN THE FORUM THAT IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT'S FAULTY. I JUST WISH NHTSA WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ASAP. THE LETTER CAME THE MAIL STATING THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ARE YOU WAITING FOR SEVERE ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN BEFORE YOU REALLY FORCE JEEP TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE??? DO PEOPLE HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES BEFORE YOU ACT ON THIS PROBLEM? *TR

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AFTER DARK, I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF HEAD LIGHTS, DASH POWER AND HEATING TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED DOWN THE INTERSTATE. EARLIER THAT MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE DASH QUIT WORKING 4 TIMES. ALL GAUGES STOP WORKING AND DROP TO ZERO AND THE HEAT/AC QUITS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY HEAD LIGHTS TURNING OFF/LOSING POWER ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I AM ABLE TO SWITCH THEM FROM AUTOMATIC TO ON AND THEY WORK. ONCE MY DASH "FLICKERS" AND RETURNS TO NORMAL, THE ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHT AND ESP BAS LIGHT STAY ON. THIS HAS BECOME A DAILY MALFUNCTION THAT OCCURS ON MY WAY TO AND FROM WORK. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014, I DROVE STRAIGHT TO AUTO ZONE AND BOUGHT A BRAND NEW BATTERY. THEY TESTED THE BATTERY AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW ONE. THEY INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY AND CONNECTED POWER TO THE JEEP WHILE THEY CHANGED IT. I FIGURED A BAD BATTERY WAS THE ISSUE AND IT WAS NOW FIXED. A COUPLE DAYS LATER, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A LOSS POWER TO MY DASH AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO 3 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT AN IGNITION SWITCH OR BAD BATTERY. THEY ALL TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED THE IGNITION SWITCH PART FOR THE RECALL BUT I WILL RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL WHEN THEY DO. ONE JEEP DEALERSHIP CONTACTED AUTO ZONE AND TOLD THEM THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND WRONG WITH IT WAS THE BATTERY. I WENT BACK TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY. I HAVE HAD MY ALTERNATOR CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT TESTED GOOD. THIS DEFECT/MALFUNCTION IS DANGEROUS AND A HAZARD TO MY LIFE AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORIST. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH JEEP'S HANDLING OF THE SITUATION AND LONG AWAIT PERIOD OF THE RECALL PART. *TR
