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.

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.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. 2 MONTHS AGO WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER. IT SEEMS TO DROP OUT OF GEAR. THE VEHICLE CANNOT ACCELERATE AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND HOPE IT WILL KICK BACK IN GEAR. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNER AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS TO HIM AND ALSO ONE OF HIS FRIENDS. I WENT TO EDMUNDS.COM AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. WE CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY SAID SORRY IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SAFETY PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU CAN PROTECT THE AMERICAN CITIZEN FROM THE SALE AND FUTURE USE OF FAULTY AUTOMOBILES. THESE VEHICLE PROBLEMS SHOULD BE ADDRESS BEFORE PEOPLE DIE. THANK YOU. *TR

I DROVE THROUGH SOME HEAVY RAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 3 P.M. ON DECEMBER 24, 2009. MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE QUIT. I HAD TO HAVE IT DECEMBER 28, 2009 I HAD IT TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. OVER THE CHRISTMAS WEEK END, TWO MECHANICS ADVISED THE ENGINE HAD HYDROLOCKED. THE SHOP OWNER ADVISED THAT IT HAD HYDROLOCKED. THEN AFTER FILING AN INSURANCE CLAIM, HE ADVISED IT WAS NOT WATERT BUT HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO A SERVICE ADVISER AND SHE ADVISED IT HAD HYDROLODGED, A COMMON OCCURRENCE, COVERED BY INSURANCE. THEN, AFTER I TOOK IT THERE THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER WANTED THE ENGINE TORN DOWN AT MY EXPENSE. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE ONE DAY AND IT TOOK FOUR. THE MECHANIC ADVISED IT WAS NOT WATER BUT HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT. HE ADVISED THE SERVICE ADVISER IT DAMAGED THE STARTER, THE WATER PUMP, THE FIRST PISTON, NUMEROUS VALVE SPRINGS, AND CRACKED THE BLOCK. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. IT CAN NOT BE DRIVEN IN WATER. IN JULY AND OCTOBER IT STALLED IN WATER AND STARTED AGAIN. THIS JEEP HAS A MERCEDES ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND A EUROPEAN BATTERY. IT WAS NOT DISCLOSED WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE BATTERY CAN NOT BE JUMPED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED THE NIGHT THE BATTERY QUIT, FROM A RURAL AREA. IT IS NOT A MOPAR PRODUCT. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BATTERY. THE ORIGINAL PARTS ARE AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE JEEP. I COMPLAINED TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY DID NOT CARE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY EXTERIOR & INTERIOR LIGHTS REPEATEDLY FLASH ON AND OFF. IT RANDOMLY OCCURS WITH NO WAY FOR ME TO STOP IT. JEEP INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE NO TSB ON THE ISSUE AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE UNTIL THE PROBLEM CAN BE DUPLICATED AT ONE OF THEIR SERVICE DEPT. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET ("FIX YA " WEB PAGE )REVEALED NUMEROUS 2006 JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AS OF NOW I AM LOST TO MY OPTIONS. *TR

AT A STOP SIGN, SHORT OF THE CROSS WALK, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL CAR IN DRIVE WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR SO I CAN TURN RIGHT ON TO THE PRIMARY STREET. REMOVE FOOT FROM BRAKE AND 2006 JEEP CHEROKEE BEGINS TO MOVE BACKWARDS. THE IS NO INCLINE OR DECLINE AT THIS STOP SIGN TO ALLOW FOR GRAVITY TO MOVE CAR. HAD TO RE-APPLY BRAKE, PUT CAR INTO PARK. SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED BEFORE PROCEEDING. THIS SAME DIFFICULTY HAS NOW HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND DEALER REPORTS NO MECHANICAL ISSUE EVIDENT TO CAUSE AUTO TO MOVE ON ITS OWN IN REVERSE. YESTERDAY, IN THE OMAHA WORLD HERALD PAPER A STORY APPEARED DESCRIBING AN ACCIDENT WITH A 2005 JEEP CHEROKEE. *TR

OUR 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE 4.7 L ENGINE HAS STALLED IN THIS SAME MANNER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. NONE, FORTUNATELY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT TENDS TO OCCUR WHILE BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN.

2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4 4.7L V8 WITH 27199 MILES. VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ACCOMPANIED BY A TOTAL LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS. STEERING AND BRAKES WERE BOTH DIFFICULT TO USE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SLOW VEHICLE AND PULL ONTO SHOULDER. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE EVENT. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM AFTER TWO DAYS OF DIAGNOSIS AND ROAD TESTING. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS, AND THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WITH THE SAME ENGINE WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, 3.7L V6. I HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, FIRST IT WAS THE SHIFTER, SECOND IT WAS A SOLENOID PROBLEM, NOW I HAVE A SHUTTER AND VIBRATION AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY. I HAVE HAD IT IN 3 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN THE TRANNY STARTS TO VIBRATE, I NOTICE THAT THE RPMS GO UP ABOUT 2-3000RPMS. TOOK IT BACK AND THE REPAIR GUY SAYS THAT JEEP HAS RECALLED THE TORQUE CONVERTERS FOR A SHUTTER PROBLEM AND COULD REPLACE IT UP 100K MILES. I HAVE OVER 100K AND IT WILL NOT GET FIXED UNDER THIS RECALL OR TSB DUE TO MILEAGE, I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A HARD LONG LOOK AT THE TIME THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS ISSUE HAS COST ME WELL OVER $1000 SO FAR AND IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME THING YET AGAIN TODAY. *TR

Steering, Aug 17, 2009, crash
I HAVE A 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 30,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, THE STEERING GAVE OUT AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO CARS ON THE RIGHT - THE VEHICLE WAS GOING AROUND 15MPS. UPON INSPECTION THE ACTUAL INNER BALL JOINT THAT THREADS INTO THE POWER STEERING UNIT BROKE FREE CAUSING THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL TO CUT LOOSE. THE THREADS WERE STRIPPED OFF OF THE BALL JOINT THAT CONNECTS THE ROD INTO THE POWER STEERING UNIT. MY INSURANCE ADJUSTERS QUOTE DID NOT INCLUDE THE STEERING RACK/ROD AS HE DID NOT BELIEVE IT BROKE DUE TO THE IMPACT IN THE ACCIDENT. THE THREADS IN THE POWER STEERING UNIT ARE FINE. CHRYSLER'S INVESTIGATION DETERMINED ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE AND THERE WAS NO COMPONENT FAILURE. THE DAMAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS ALL FRONT END (BUMPER, GRILL, ETC) AND THERE IS NO DAMAGE ON ANY OF THE STEERING COMPONENTS, JUST THE FAILED THREADS. IF THE STEERING DID FAIL AND THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SEVERE. THE STEERING RACK HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE IN MAY OF 2008. I STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING ON AND OFF AND THEN TOTALLY GOING OFF ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SERVICED IT TO FIND "NOTHING WRONG." THE SERVICE PERSON DROVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND STATED NOTHING HAPPENED. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A SECOND TIME, AND THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THE SAME THING AGAIN, "NOTHING WRONG." WE GO ALMOST A YEAR WITH NO PROBLEMS AND THE FLICKERING OF THE HEAD LIGHTS AND INTERIOR DASH STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER DECIDES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND A 17 YEAR OLD SON THAT I TRANSPORT DAILY AND I REFUSE TO ALLOW HIM TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION CONCERNING THE ISSUES WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE. *TR
