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.

Power train, Electrical system, Feb 2, 2010
I OWN A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE V6 2WD AND OTHER OWNERS ACROSS THE US (THOUSANDS OF THEM) WITH YEARS RANGING 2005-2007 REPORT PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. THIS GOES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING (SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY) AND WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED TWICE NOW AND HAVE ONLY OWNED MY JEEP FOR 1 1/2 YEARS (BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW). THIS HAPPENED IN MARCH 2009 AND AGAIN JANUARY 2010. *TR
Power train, Equipment, Electronic stability control (ESC), Dec 30, 2009
TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 35-40MPH MY VEHICLE STALLED. I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS AWAITING A TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGE. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND JERK AND THE ESP/BAS LIGHT, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (CHECK ENGINE) AND A MESSAGE STATING TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP CAME ON. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY FLASHERS. THE DRIVER BEHIND REALIZED THAT I WAS IN TROUBLE AND PUT ON HIS AS WELL. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO THE SHOULDER, I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY 5MINS, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY TO MY OFFICE SINCE I WAS JUST 2 BLOCKS FROM WORK. THIS EXPERIENCE SCARED ME BECAUSE HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT THE 60-65 MPH RATE ON THIS VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. AFTER READING SEVERAL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I CAN ALSO RELATE TO THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIRES HAVING HAD TO REPLACE A BROKEN STEM AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE ONLY 2 DAYS AND I CURRENTLY STILL HAVE WATER LEAKING INTO MY VEHICLE ON RAINING DAYS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW THROUGH THE LIGHTS. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY DAILY AND AFTER TODAY'S STALL OUT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND EXPLAINED MY ISSUES AND TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND HE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS PROBABLY COLD AND IF THE LIGHTS DON'T GO OUT I CAN BRING IT IN ON SATURDAY. WELL TODAY IS WEDNESDAY AND I WILL NOT DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP IS QUITE A DISTANCE FROM MY HOME, I WILL HAVE THE CAR TOWED SO THAT IT CAN BE CHECKED OUT. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF EVER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I TRANSPORT CHILDREN AS PART OF MY JOB FROM TIME TO TIME AND I COULD NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN TO THEM WHILE WE ARE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

Power train, Dec 6, 2009
I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT 70 MPH IN THE NUMBER ONE LANE WHEN THE MOTOR JUST QUIT. I HAD TO CHANGE OVER THREE LANES TO GET TO SIDE SO I WOULD BE SAFE. THERE LARGE TRUCKS IN THE NUMBER TWO AND THEE LANES WHICH CAUSED ME CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY. THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE INCIDENT. I FEEL THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL BECAUSE THE SPRINTER USES THE SAME ENGINE WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF, A CHILD CROSSED OVER THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. HE HELD THE GEAR SHIFT TO SUPPORT HIMSELF, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE SPED DOWN A HILL AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE CABLE WENT INTO THE SHIFTING GEAR, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT NOT THE GEAR SHIFT. THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE AUTO BODY SHOP. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE SOMEONE FROM CHRSYLER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 43,000.

I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. FIRST IT WAS MY PRND LIGHTS WOULD ALL LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME AND MY ACCELERATION WOULD NOT WORK. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF AGAIN AFTER A FEW STARTS. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE CODE IS U0404 WHICH I AM TOLD IS THE SHIFTER/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. WHILE SEARCHING THIS I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, ALL RIGHT AFTER THEIR WARRANTY RAN OUT. I WENT TO THE DEALER WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WAS NOT FOUND NOW THAT I AM 900 MIL;ES PAST WARRANTY THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS. I FEEL IF THIS MANY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I COMPLETELY LOST ACCELERATION WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TWICE AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO STARTED CLUNKING LOUDLY WHEN I SHIFTED FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER THIS OCCURS. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, THEN, ONE DAY I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IT ACTED AS IF WAS IN PARK. I SHIFTED IT TO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO GEAR LUNGED FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO MY DEALERSHIP (THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY) WHO TOLD ME NO CODES REGISTERED IN RELATION TO THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAVING BEEN ON AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME AND TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME TRANSMISSION CLUNKING BEGAN AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I LEFT A RED LIGHT TODAY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR INTO SECOND. FINALLY, IT SHIFTED, SLAMMING INTO GEAR, WITH A LOUD, HARD CLUNK THAT SHOT MY VEHICLE SEVERAL FEET AHEAD. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT IF A CAR HAD BEEN AHEAD OF ME. IT'S BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO CLAIMS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. THE CAR HAS ONLY 21,000 MILES ON IT. CLEARLY, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND CANNOT SIMPLY GO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE LOSING POWER BUT NOT ACTUALLY SHUTTING OFF. AT OTHER TIMES IT ACTS LIKE IT IS HANGING IN 1ST GEAR. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IT HAS NEARLY GOTTEN ME HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR NEARLY REARENDED. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT 3 TIMES BY THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYLER TO FIX PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. *TR

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE 2007 WK CRD THAT HAVE REPORTED THAT THEIR VEHICLE HAS DIED ON THEM WHILE DRIVING. READING ABOUT THIS ON JEEP FORUM, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A TSB RELATED TO A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON WK JEEPS THAT WERE BUILT BEFORE JUNE 12TH, 2007. MY JEEP WAS BUILT IN APRIL, 2007. WHILE MY JEEP HAS NOT STALLED, IT IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE AND SHE IS FREQUENTLY TRANSPORTING OUR TWO CHILDREN. THE TSB CALLS FOR CHECKING AND REPLACING THE SENSOR IF IT FAILS, BUT I DO NOT FIND THIS TO BE ACCEPTABLE. IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO JUST DIE WHILE THEY WERE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES TO MY WIFE AND KIDS. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A RECALL TO REPLACE THIS SENSOR BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. *TR

I RECENTLY LEASED A NEW 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 3.7 L , 6 CYLINDERS. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A MONTH THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED 50 MPH) AND LOCAL SPEED 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN AT MORE THAN 20 MPH, AND THE INDICATOR GAUGES SEEM ED STUCK IN PLACE. ALSO, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE AT WORK. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN NEW YORK CITY ,AND MY FEAR WAS THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE WOULD REAR END MY VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASING LOCATION AT ADDITIONAL COSTS TO US, AND THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THE SHIFT CONTROLLER, TRANSMISSION NOT SENDING THE PROPER SIGNAL FOR IT TO SHIFT PROPERLY. THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SOLENOID, AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. THIS WAS LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, AND NOW MY WIFE WAS UNWILLING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF BEING STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON 7/9/07. ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU COULD PROVIDE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED. I WILL ALSO CONTACT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS IN THE MORNING.*AK

I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN AUGUST OF 2006. 11/11/06 THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE AUTOMATIC SHIFT STICK HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. THE JEEP HAS E REMOTE STARTING FEATURE WITH A SAFETY THAT WILL LOCK THE SHIFT LEVER IN PLACE UNTIL THE KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. THIS LOCKING MECHANISM IS WHAT KEEPS BREAKING. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 4700 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS FIXED THE SHIFTER BOTH TIMES AT NO CHARGE, BUT I CERTAINLY DON'T PLAN ON HAVING TO REPLACE THIS EVERY 2500 MILES. THEY NEED A DESIGN CHANGE. *JB
