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.

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.

THE BEGINNING OF JULY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TWO DAYS AFTER THAT THE CHECK GAS CAP CAME ON. I BOUGHT AN AFTER MARKET CAP FROM AUTOZONE. THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE PURGE SOLENOID AND ESIM MODULE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF WHEN WE PICKED UP THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT WAS STARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND GAS CAP LIGHT CAME BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE GAS CAP. WE WERE TOLD TO GIVE IT A FEW DAYS FOR THE SYSTEM ON THE CAR TO RESET ITSELF. IT DIDN'T. SO TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THEY FOUND A SMALL LEAK AT THE ESIM MODULE THAT WAS REPLACED? TOLD US THEY WERE ORDERING A NEW GAS TANK AND WE COULD DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED. NOW I HEAR AIR ESCAPING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FROM THE GAS CAP AND IT WILL NOT ACCEPT FUEL WITHOUT BEING FORCED INTO THE GAS TANK.

I HAD JUST PULLED ONTO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WHEN THE RPM'S STARTED RACING BUT THE JEEP DID NOT ACCELERATE IT INSTEAD LOSS ALL POWER. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND JUST THE JEEP OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND CALLED THE SERVICE GARAGE THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE SECURITY SYSTEM HAD SHUT DOWN THE JEEP. IT HAS SINCE DID THAT AT LEAST 10 MORE TIMES AND SO FAR EVERY TIME IT HAS BEEN AS SOON AS I PULL OUT, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I AM TRAVELLING AT 75 MPH AND IT LOSES POWER ON A CROWDED FREEWAY. I RECENTLY LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER. RECALL NUMBER 14V-438.AND I NO WAY BELIEVE THAT IT IS CAUSED BY MY KNEE HITTING THE IGNITION SWITCH, THAT IS NOT EVEN POSSIBLE.
