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.

Power train, transfer case (4-wheel drive)May 7, 2013
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.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING TO CHARLESTON, SC ON I-26 TO HAVE A NICE VALENTINE'S WEEKEND. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL WE MERGED ONTO I-26 IN COLUMBIA, SC, WHEN WE FELT A SMALL JOLT IN THE TRUCK LIKE IT WAS HESITATING OR SOMETHING. SO WE DISMISSED IT AS MAYBE BAD GAS OR SOMETHING. IT HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND AS WE WERE PASSING A REST AREA OUTSIDE OF ORANGEBURG, SC IN THE LEFT LANE GOING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 80 MPH, THE WHOLE TRUCK JUST SHUT DOWN. NO POWER STEERING AND THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK IN NEUTRAL. TRAFFIC IS PRETTY HEAVY ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND, AND I HAVE TRACTOR TRAILER BESIDE ME AND BEHIND ME ON A TWO LANE INTERSTATE. TRYING NOT TO PANIC, I PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAVING OUT THE WINDOW LIKE CRAZY TRYING TO GET THESE TRUCK DRIVER'S ATTENTION, THANK GOD THEY NOTICED AND THE ONE BESIDE ME SPED UP AND MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO GET OVER BY THE EXIT OF THE REST AREA. AFTER THANKING GOD FOR OUR LIVES, WE DECIDED TO TRY AND MAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN ORANGEBURG. WE GET THERE, AND AFTER 2 HOURS THEY SAY IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND A TUNE UP $300 BUCKS AND ANOTHER 2 HOURS WE FINALLY GOT ON OUR WAY. WE MADE IT TO CHARLESTON AND SALVAGED A PRETTY GOOD DAY TRIP CONSIDERING WHAT WE WENT THROUGH, WITH NO PROBLEMS. IT JOLTED ONCE ON THE WAY BACK ABOUT 40 MILES FROM HOME. SO THE NEXT DAY I REMEMBERED WE HAD GOTTEN A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER, AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT WE REALIZED THAT THE RECALL WAS THE REAL PROBLEM. THIS LETTER CAME IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013, AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM SINCE THEN, ALMOST 2 YEARS LATER. ALSO, YOU WOULD THINK THAT A JEEP DEALER WOULD KNOW ABOUT RECALLS ON ALL OF THE VEHICLES THEY SELL WHEN THEY PUT THE VIN IN THE SYSTEM. NOW WE JUST USE THE ONE KEY, STAY CLOSE TO THE RIGHT LANE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. ANOTHER CAR/PAYMENTS IS NOT AN OPTION.

Electrical system, Engine, Jul 24, 2015
I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN I ACCIDENTLY TOUCHED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE ENGINE DIED AND I COASTED TO THE ROADSIDE WHERE I RESTARTED THE ENGINE. I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE SENT BY CHRYSLER AND HAD FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS CONTAINED IN THE NOTICE, SO NOTIFIED THEM OF THE INCIDENT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED BUT THIS TIME I DID NOT TOUCH THE KEY. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE INTO A TURN. THE VEHICLE HAD JUST BEGAN TO MOVE WHEN IT DIED. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETED THE TRIP. I AGAIN NOTIFIED CHRYSLER WHO DIRECTED ME TO HAVE THE SWITCH REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALER THAT I WAS USING TOLD ME THE OLD MODEL REPLACEMENT SWITCH WAS NOT IN STOCK AND UNAVAILABLE AS THE NEW PARTS HAD NOT BEEN PRODUCED AND HE WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO FIND A REPLACEMENT. I LOCATED A DEALER WHO ORDERED THE OLD DESIGNED PART FROM CHRYSLER STOCK AND REPLACED IT FOR ME. THEY ALSO INSTRUCTED ME TO RETURN WHEN THE NEW PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AS THE WORK DID NOT SATISFY THE RECALL NOTICE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER SOME TIME BACK TO SEE WHEN NEWLY DESIGNED PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND THEY STILL HAD NOT RECEIVED THEM. THEY ALSO SAID THEY HAD NO TIME FRAME FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. THIS IS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE PROBLEM WITHOUT RESOLUTION, FAR TOO LONG. UPDATED 09/14/15*LJ

PROBLEMS WITH CAR FOR OVER A YEAR. CAR WOULD STALL UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH. HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. MULTIPLE TIMES CAR WOULD NOT START.

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE SOME TIME LAST YEAR 2014. CALLED AND NO ONE WAS OF MUCH ASSISTANCE. SAID THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.THEY ASKED FOR MY EMAIL AND I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE BACK. TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALER AS THE SAFETY RECALL LETTER STATED AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ME OUT. NO ACCIDENTS YET BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. MY TPS LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. I GET MY TIRES CHECKED FREQUENTLY TO FIX THE ISSUE AND EVERYTIME I GO, I AM TOLD MY TIRES ARE FINE. AS I WAS DRIVING, ALL ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTS GO OFF, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE SAFELY. I WAS TOLD MY SERPENTINE BELT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAD THIS ISSUE FIXED LAST YEAR, AND IT WAS NOT INEXPENSIVE. IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR AND ALREADY THE PROBLEM SHOWS UP AGAIN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING AND I FEEL THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND HELP ME OUT SO THAT I CAN FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING.

SINCE THE FIRST EVENT THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT THE MOST IMPORTUNED TIME. TWO YEARS AGO IT STALLED TWICE WHILE ENTERING THE NEW JERSEY GARDEN STATE PARKWAY ON THE SAME DAY. A YEAR AGO IT STALLED AT 40 MILES PER HOUR TRAVELING NORTH ON UNIVERSITY BLVD 100 FT FROM THE DEALER KELLY JEEP DEALERSHIP WERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I WAS MADE AWARE IN JULY 2014 THAT THERE WAS AN IGNITION KEY PROBLEM. BY A LOCAL AUTO BODY REPAIR SHOP OWNER. I REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM KEY EXCEPT A SMALL LIGHTWEIGHT IDENTIFICATION PLASTIC TAG A MONTH AGO IT STALLED AGAIN WHICH TURNING ONTO HIGH SPEED FOUR LANGE EXPRESSWAY. I HAVE CONTACT A DIFFERENT DEALER THREE MONTHS GO AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER IS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IN ALMOST A YEAR CHRYSLER STILL APPEARS TO HAVE NOT INKLING OF OWH TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT IN SEPT 2014 I HAD IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS REQUIRED TO HAVE VEHICLE TESTED BY THE ANALYZER. NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. EVEN THOUGH I AM 90 YEARS OLD I STILL HAVE SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A STOP AND IF POSSIBLE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO RESTART IT. BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IF THIS HAPPENS WITH MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING SHE WILL NOT BE HAVE SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO STEER OF BRAKE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT LOSSES COMPLETE POWER. HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE ACCIDENTLY OPERATION OF THE IGNITION KEY EVENT THAT HAS OCCURRED WITH GENERAL MOTOR PRODUCTS. LAST WE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING THE NEED TO RE-PROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE (FDCM), THAT MAY CAUSE THE SERVICE $WD LIGHT TO BE ACTIVATED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE GEARS. I DO NOT SEE THAT LISTED AS A RECALL AND I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY OTHER NOTICE. HIS APPARENTLY HAS A HIGHER PRIORITY AT CHRYSLER THAN THE IGNITION KEY ISSUE. REGARDS,
