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.

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEB 2009 THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT APPROX MAY 2010. WHILE DRIVING ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WILL TURN ON AND OFF, ALL NEEDLES ON THE GAUGES (RPM, SPEED, ETC.) WILL GO UP AND DOWN UNCONTROLLABLY. THE HEAT OR AC WHICH EVER IS ON WILL GO ON AND OFF, ON AN OFF. THE ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL ALL STOP AND BE NORMAL AGAIN. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, ONLINE VIDEOS, AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE, THIS IS STRONGLY RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS: IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. I AM VERY CONCERNED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, I EXPRESSED THIS WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER, AND WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE RECALL, I FOUND OUT BY HEARING THIS ON THE NEWS AND COME TO FIND OUT MY VIN# WAS NEVER REGISTERED TO ME SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE CLOSED. SINCE THERE IS NO FIX IN PLACE, I WOULD LIKE A LOANER/RENTAL VEHICLE TO BE PROVIDED AS THE EXPENSE OF JEEP/CHRYSLER. I DON'T THINK THIS IS TO MUCH TO ASK IN RELATION TO MY LIFE, AND SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY. I AM IN A TRADE FOR A LIVING THAT REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE MY OWN VEHICLE TO COMPANY JOBSITES, ALL OVER MY STATE. *TR

THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED BY JEEP. CURRENTLY THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE CAR IS "OPERABLE" SO I CAN DRIVE IT UNTIL THE PART COMES IN, BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL CAUSES THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL AT ANY TIME.. YET THEY CONSIDER THIS OPERABLE. TODAY MY CAR STALLED DUE TO THIS RECALL AND I CAME VERY CLOSE TO ROLLING INTO ANOTHER CAR. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL NOT OFFER A RENTAL BECAUSE THE CAR STILL TURNS ON. I FEEL THIS IS INEXCUSABLE AND UNSAFE BECAUSE I AM OUT DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT CAN STALL ON ANY POINT IN TIME. (I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO MY LIFE.) I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING A RENTAL IN THIS SITUATION. *TR
