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.

P41 - CHRYSLER RECALL - FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE DETERIORATING NATURE OF THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT MY CLAIMS THAT THE VEHICLE I OWN IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE SAFETY-RECALL NOTICE IS NOW OVER 6 MONTHS OLD. CHRYSLER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY OF THE AFFECTED OWNERS A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO REIMBURSE THE AFFECTED OWNERS. AS PER YOUR WEBSITE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED A REASONABLY TIMELY SOLUTION WITHOUT COST TO OWNERS. SEE BELOW: ***-A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THE OWNER CAN DO IF THE OWNER IS UNABLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME AND WITHOUT CHARGE.*** (THIS WAS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM YOUR WEBSITE IE WHAT NEEDS TO BE ON A RECALL NOTICE) DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITHOUT HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED IS NOT AN OPTION, AS A LOSS OF BRAKES, STEERING AND EVEN AIRBAGS BEING UNRESPONSIVE AND WOULD RESULT IN MY INJURY OR DEATH. THE NOTICE SAYS SIMPLY TO REMOVE EXTRA KEYS FROM THE SWAB AND TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK. EXCELLENT PRECAUTIONS I AM SURE BUT MY PROBLEM CONTINUES TO ARISE NONETHELESS. DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND HAVING A LOSS OF POWER TO YOUR DASH, A LOSS OF BRAKES, AND POTENTIALLY NONWORKING AIRBAGS MAKE THIS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. I AM FLOORED AT THE FACT A MAJOR CORPORATION HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE, ONLY FOR 6 MONTHS TO HAVE PASSED WITH NO SOLUTION IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND JEEP BOTH SEVERAL TIMES TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE FIX, ALL TO RECEIVE NO WORD OR NOTICE OF WHEN THE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES IF I COULD HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED AND THEN HAVE CHRYSLER REIMBURSE ME, AND WAS DENIED. I AM HOPEFUL THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS AS CHRYSLER AND JEEP AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY. *TR

Service brakes, Dec 16, 2014
I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKES HESITATED WHEN DEPRESSED, THE PEDAL WENT MUSHY, I HAD NO BRAKING CONTROL AND THE ABS STARTED CYCLING LIKE I WAS ON A PATCH OF ICE. THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-15 SECONDS. THE ESP, ABS, CHECK ENGINE, AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER THE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED THE BRAKES WORKED BUT ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL DID NOT. I PERIODICALLY HAVE INSTANCES WHERE THE BRAKES CYCLE ON VARIOUS WHEELS, I ASSUME THIS IS THE ABS CYCLING THE BRAKES. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME RANGING FROM HOURS TO A COUPLE DAYS, THE AFFECTED INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE WHOLE PROCESS STARTS OVER AGAIN WITHIN A FEW SECONDS TO MINUTES. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT THREW OFF TO MANY ERROR CODES TO TROUBLESHOOT. THE DEALER CLEARED THE CODES AND ASKED ME TO RETURN WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I JUST RETURNED THE CAR THE SECOND TIME. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION. *TR
