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.

Electrical system, Engine, Dec 7, 2014
IN MAY OF 2014 I REPLACED MY STARTER BECAUSE WHEN I WOULD ATTEMPT TO START MY VEHICLE IT WOULD CRANK BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE CONDITION PERSISTED EVEN AFTER PUTTING ON AN NEW STARTER. I EVENTUALLY WENT TO A JEEP DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT P41/NHTSA 14V-438 RECALL BUT WAS NOT GIVEN A TIME FRAME AS TO WHEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICING. IN THE MEANTIME I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE ONE VEHICLE AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO NOT START IN INSTANCES WHEN I NEED IT MOST. IT HAS DONE SO WHILE MY WIFE HAD THE VEHICLE WHICH HAS CAUSED ME GREAT DISTRESS AS SHE WAS ALONE AND PANICKED WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE DOES START EVENTUALLY AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OR SO. THIS IS UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. WE SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND SHE TOLD US SHE COULD NOT SAY WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. SHE WENT ON TO SAY WE COULD WAIT IT OUT OR TRADE IT IN AND BASICALLY TACK ON THE AMOUNT OWED ON TO THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION. THIS SITUATION IS VERY INCONVENIENT AS I USE THE VEHICLE PRIMARILY TO COMMUTE TO WORK AND IF UNABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK OUR HOUSEHOLD INCOME WILL TAKE A HUGE BLOW. WE SEEK REMEDY.

NUMEROUS TIMES I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND MY CAR HAS LOST POWER AND I'VE HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE FOR MY CAR TO START ON THE FIRST TURN OF THE KEY. THE START GETS DRAGGED ON. SOMETIMES ALL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON WITH EVERY OTHER LIGHTS AS WELL. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE TO WAIT THEN START THE CAR AND IT WILL TURN ON. BESIDES THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING, NOW MY CAR WON'T TURN ON AT ALL. THE BATTERY IS FINE. RADIO AND EVERYTHING TURNS ON. BUT THE IGNITION WON'T CLICK OVER AND START MY CAR. SO, NOW I AM WITH NO CAR FOR WORK. I CALLED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS FOR MY CALLS RECALL BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE OUT OF THE PART THEY NEED. MY CAR WORKED THEN, JUST VERY SKETCHY, SO I WAS OK WAITING, JUST EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS. NOW IT WON'T EVEN TURN ON, I CALLED JEEP, THEY SAID THEY ARE STILL WAITIN FOR THE PART AND ALL I CAN DO IS WAIT ON THE LIST. THEY WON'T EVEN GIVE ME A LOANER SINCE IT'S A RECALL ISSUE AND NOT A "SERVICE" ISSUE. I HAVE NO CAR, AND NOT THE MONEY FOR A NEW ONE, SO NOW I'M AT A LOSS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (11/8/14) I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF! I HEARD A BEEPING SOUND AND NOTICED ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WERE OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN "DRIVE". I PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" & TURNED THE KEY IN THE "OFF" POSITION--WAITED A FEW MINUTES & STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. I HAD MY MOTHER WITH ME & TOLD HER ABOUT THE "RECALL" & THIS WAS IT...THE IGNITION SWITCH (RECALL P41). WE DECIDED TO GO HOME & WHEN I PULLED IN HER DRIVEWAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN...THE ENGINE JUST CUT OFF! I'M VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY JEEP NOW...THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY!! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW!! THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION!! WHAT PROCEDURES DO YOU HAVE IN PLACE TO ASSIST PEOPLE UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART(S)? LIVES ARE AT STAKE!! *TR

IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL, BUT THEY COULD NOT GET THE PARTS TO FIX IT. THE DEALER SAID THEN TO WRITE JEEP AND COMPLAIN. *TR
