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.

SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AND YOU PULL THE LEVER BACK TO DIM THEM TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF TOO, LITERALLY LEAVING YOU IN THE DARK. IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN!

2007 JEEP 5.7L. CAR STALLS ON ACCELERATION FROM STOPS. INTERMITTENT. MOSTLY WHEN AIR IS ON. 80 DEGREES AND UP. MOSTLY AFTER CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN, THEN PARKED A FEW MINUTES THEN THEN ACCELERATED. SO DANGEROUS. HAVE REPLACED PLUGS AND WIRES, OIL, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR,ASD RELAY FUSE. NOW WHAT? SPENT NOW $ 2000 ON FIXES. DEALER CAN'T SOLVE IT. I READ OTHERS WITH SAME CAR HAVE THE SAME. CODE B2185 IS SHOWING. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE SUED FOR KNOWING THE CAUSE AND NOT FIXING IT DUE TO THE COST. I WANT TO JOIN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT WHILE I AND MY FAMILY ARE STILL ALIVE!

USING THE GRAB BAR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, PLASTIC COSMETIC HOUSING MOVED AND WAS NO LONGER STABLE. UPON REMOVAL OF THE PLASTIC HOUSING, WE FOUND THE PLASTIC SUPPORT AROUND THE SCREW HAD SPLIT IN HALF, ALLOWING THE UNIT TO MOVE WHEN USED. GRAB BAR IS HEAVILY USED TO ASSIST GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE. ORDERED NEW GRAB BAR, A DODGE RAM PICKUP OWNER WAS IN JEEP PARTS DEPT, ORDERING ONE FOR HIS TRUCK. HOW MANY MORE HAVE BEEN REPLACED, NEEDS TO BE STRONGER TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF A DISABLED PERSON GETTING INTO THE CAR/TRUCK.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I RECEIVE A LETTER ON THE MAIL FROM JEEP NAMED AS "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION" STATING THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO A DEFECT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY, MORE SPECIFICALLY: UNINTENDED CHANGE IN IGNITION SWITCH POSITION THAT IMPLIES A SAFETY RISK. I WENT ON THE SAFECAR.GOV SITE TO CONFIRM THE STATUS OF MY RECALL AND IT SAYS THAT THERE IS A RECALL IN EFFECT ON MY CAR MODEL BUT UNFORTUNATELY JEEP DOESN'T HAVE THE PART REPLACEMENT YET. I WANT THIS PROBLEM FIXED ASAP.
Electrical system, Apr 21, 2017
VEHICLE HAD AN IGNITION SWITCH RECALL (P41) WHICH WAS REPLACED BY DEALER. AFTER REPLACEMENT PART FAILED AND VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR MARCH 4, 2017. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REPLACED IGNITION COIL HAD FAILED AND THEY WOULD FURTHER REPAIR AS PART OF RECALL. VEHICLE, 7 WEEKS LATER, IS STILL NOT REPAIRED. I HAVE ESCALATED MY CASE FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO JEEP NATIONAL AND VEHICLE STILL NOT REPAIRED WITH NO UPDATE. I WAS INFORMED DURING THIS PROCESS THAT MY CAR IS A "ONE-OFF", THE REPLACEMENT RECALL PART THAT WAS INTENDED FOR MY VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK IN MY VEHICLE AND THAT JEEP IS FURTHER RESEARCHING HOW TO REPAIR. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT DUE TO TIMELINESS OF REPAIR. WHILE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN FREE OF CHARGE, ORIGINAL PART REPLACEMENT TOOK LESS THAN ONE DAY. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN EVALUATING RECALL PART FOR SEVEN WEEKS AND STILL DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION OF WHEN VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED/RETURNED. JEEP ORIGINALLY OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE WHICH I TURNED DOWN AS I WAS TOLD REPAIR WOULD BE ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS. I HAVE NOW REQUESTED SEVERAL TIMES FOR A COMPARABLE LOANER VEHICLE WHILE JEEP IS STILL EVALUATING THE REPAIR. JEEP WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE AND I AM TOLD IT IS BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHILE I UNDERSTAND WARRANTIES, JEEP HAS MY CAR BECAUSE OF FAILED RECALL REPLACEMENT PART AND THEY WILL NOT PUT IN ORIGINAL PART DUE TO RECALL. JEEP ALSO CLOSED OUT THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE.

REAR LIFT GATE CYLINDERS FOR THE BACK DOOR DO NOT WORK IN COLD - 50 DEGREES OR COOLER WEATHER. THEY DO NOT KEEP THE DOOR UP AND MANY TIMES THE BACK DOOR ALMOST OR DID COME CRASHING DOWN ON MY HEAD. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME INCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH COULD RESULT IN A POSSIBLE CONCUSSION, FRACTURED SKULL OR BROKEN NECK. LUCKILY THE LAST TIME SOMEONE SAW IT ALMOST CRASH ON MY HEAD WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES THEY PICKED UP THE GATE BEFORE IT HIT MY HEAD. PRIOR INCIDENTS RESULTS IN THE DOOR HITTING MY HEAD.

I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO A POSSIBLE NEW RECALL ON THE 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ACCELERATING SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. ON 9/22/16 THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING RAPIDLY FOR 15 SECONDS EVEN WHEN I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PADDLE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SOME RECORDINGS AND NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL BE RECORDING MORE FOOTAGE TO SHOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATION ON THE 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT AFTER THE RECALL OF P41/NHTSA 14V-438 WAS COMPLETE AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. FIRST THE NEW PART THAT WAS REPLACED CAUSED THE SHORT IN THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THIS WAS FIXED ON MY COST AND NOW THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES BY ITSELF AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE. HEAD AND PISTON DAMAGE. NORMAL EVERY DAY DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND JEEP ENGINE IN THIS CAR THAT BLEW UP AT 70K MILES.

THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS A BATTERY LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN DURING A LIGHT RAIN. THE SOLUTION SUGGESTED BY OUR NORMAL MECHANIC (WHO IS VERY GOOD AND HAS SERVICED THE CAR FOR YEARS) WAS TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND THEN IT WAS NOTED THE BATTERY WAS BAD. IT WAS REPLACED SINCE IT WAS THREE YEARS OLD. AFTER THE REPAIR THE CAR STARTED TO DIE INTERMITTENTLY WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO CHECK THE DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID IT APPEARED TO BE POINTING TO THE IGNITION SWITCH (BASED ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC FLOWCHART). THE MECHANICS SERVICE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING IN THE VEHICLE WHEN HE DROVE IT. SUGGESTED WE TAKE BACK TO THE DEALER WHO HAD REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH TUMBLERS DURING THE RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE LAST NOVEMBER. THE DEALER WANTED A $85 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO JUST CHECK THE SWITCH. WE RECEIVED A DOWNLOAD OF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES WHICH APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO MULTIPLE FAILURES OF IGNITION MODULES BUT THE DEALER REPORTED HIS SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. HE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE TIPM BUT WAS SURE IT WAS NOT THE SWITCH. HE WAS UNABLE TO TELL US WHAT THE FAILURE WAS AND SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR MORE DIAGNOSTICS IF HE WAS TO FIND OUT WHAT EXACTLY IT WAS. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED ALTERNATOR. HOWEVER, AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR LAST SATURDAY IT DIED AFTER WE STOPPED AT A RAILROAD CROSSING WAITING ON A TRAIN AND THEN TRIED TO CROSS THE TRACKS AFTER THE ARMS HAD GONE UP. THE CROSSING T-BONES INTO ANOTHER ROAD AND A VERY DEEP BAR DITCH AT THE SIDE OF THAT ROAD. THE CROSSING WAS A STEEP INCLINE. ALMOST PUT CAR IN DITCH. MY WIFE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL AND STOP IT AS I BARELY WAS ABLE TO. AFTER REVIEWING OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I NOW BELIEVE IT IS THE TIPM. THIS IS SAFETY RELATED SINCE ALL SAFETY EQUIPMENT IS TIED TO THIS.
