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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
Tires, Jan 5, 2015
WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, THE LOW TIRE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. LESS THAN A MILE LATER, MY LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW AND THE WHEEL CUT INTO THE TIRE EFFECTIVELY DESTROYING THE TIRE. ALL THAT WAS LEFT OF THE TIRE WAS A RUBBER BAND AROUND THE WHEEL AND 25% OF ONE SIDEWALL. THE REMAINING RUBBER PIECES WERE STREWN ACROSS THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD WITH NO VEHICLE TRAFFIC CLOSE, SO I WAS ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE SAFELY TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. IF THIS INCIDENT HAD OCCURRED ON A STEEP CURVE, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, ETC, THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE CREATED A DANGEROUS, EVEN LIFE-THREATENING, SITUATION. WHEN THE TIRE FELL APART, IT DAMAGED MY SIDE PANEL, REAR FENDER, AND BLEW OF MY BUMPER. I PUT ON THE SPARE, TIED ON MY BUMPER, AND DROVE TO THE TIRE STORE WHERE THESE TIRES HAD BEEN PURCHASED A COUPLE OF YEARS PRIOR. THE TIRES HAD 40,000 MILES ON THEM. THEY ARE WARRANTED FOR 65,000 MILES. THE TIRE STORE MAILED THE DAMAGED TIRE TO MICHELIN FOR THEIR ANALYSIS. I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I WAS TOLD BY A REP AT THIS TIRE STORE THAT MICHELIN NO LONGER MADE THIS PARTICULAR TIRE BECAUSE, AS HE UNDERSTOOD IT, THEY HAD KNOWN QUALITY ISSUES WITH IT. MICHELIN EXAMINED AND ASCERTAINED THAT THE TIRE WAS A "RUN FLAT" AND THEREFORE THEY DID NOT COVER EITHER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE OR THE $1800+ OF DAMAGE. WHILE GLAD TO BE ALIVE AND UNINJURED, I AM SHOCKED AND VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MICHELIN'S RESPONSE. *TR

PENDING MY COURT DATE, I COULD RECEIVE A POSSIBLE OWI CHARGE. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THAT IS AN $800 FINE AND WILL ALSO CAUSE MY INSURANCE PREMIUM TO INCREASE. *TR
