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. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, A WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATING THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE DIFFERENTIAL CLUTCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

ONE SATURDAY NIGHT I NEEDED TO RUN TO THE GROCERY STORE. WHEN I GOT BACK INTO MY CAR, IT WOULDN'T START. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WAS A TERRIBLE TAPPING NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A MECHANIC ABOUT THE CAR, I WAS TOLD IT IS PROBABLY A DROPPED VALVE SEAT. NOW, I AM LOOKING AT OVER $4000 TO SWAP AN ENGINE THAT WAS NEVER HOT-RODDED OR ABUSED. AFTER A SIMPLE SEARCH ONLINE, I FIND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINES. SO MUCH SO THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL OR CLASS ACTION SUIT.
Electrical system, Mar 30, 2016
THE VEHICLE TYPICALLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT HAS STALLED ON CITY STREETS. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS I AM ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION BACK ON AND DRIVE. I HAVE HAD THE P41 / NHTSA 14V-438 RECALL AND THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES. IT IS STALLING EVEN MORE OFTEN NOW. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIR TO 3 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS NOT INCLUDING THE RECALL AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE STALLED ONE PARTICULAR TIME AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A BUS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE WAY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 132,500.
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Engine, Mar 16, 2016
THE FOLLOWING EVENTS HAPPENED OVER A PERIOD OF 2 WEEKS. WHEN IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, INSTRUMENT PANEL LOST POWER, THEN CAME BACK ON AND ALL CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS LIT UP, THEN WENT OFF. WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK--CYCLED ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. WHEN ENGINE WAS OFF, IGNITION WAS OFF AND KEY WAS OUT OF IGNITION, LIGHTS WERE TURNED OFF, HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF TWICE FOR NO REASON. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON SLIGHT INCLINE, ENGINE LOST POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO A CERTIFIED JEEP REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. (SEE ATTACHED)

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER DRIVING LONGER THAN 10-15 MINUTES TURNING THE JEEP OFF AND TRYING TO RESTART WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES IT WON'T START. LET IT SIT FOR MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES WILL START. THE RELAYS GET VERY WARM BUT AFTER COOLING, THE CAR STARTS. DEALERSHIP HAS ZINGED US FOR A NEW STARTER, IT DIDN'T NEED, A NEW PCM, IT DIDN'T NEED. TESTING MY OWN THEORY 3 CONSECUTIVE TIMES IN ONE DAY, DROVE THE VEHICLE AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. TURNED OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART (AS YOU WOULD A QUICK TRIP TO THE STORE) AND NOTHING BUT WAITING EACH TIME, CAR STARTS AFTER COOLING. PICKED UP THE JEEP TWO DAYS AGO FROM DEALERSHIP WHO HAD IT 18 DAYS TRYING TO FIX IT (3RD TIME)AND THE FIRST TRIP THAT DAY RESULTED IN ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OF THE SAME PROBLEM.
Engine, Mar 12, 2016
THE VEHICLE STALLS A VARIOUS SPEEDS, BUT TYPICALLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY DAILY COMMUTE IS ABOUT 32 MILES EACH WAY AND I TYPICALLY EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF ONCE PER DAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES STALL I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, THEN RESTART BY TURNING THE IGNITION BACK ON AND PUTTING THE VEHICLE BACK IN DRIVE. I DID HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED FOR RECALL P41 / NHTSA 14V-438 WHICH WAS TO RESOLVE ISSUES WITH LOSS OF POWER DURING DRIVING BUT NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES HAVE BEEN NOTICED SINCE THE REPAIR. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT THE LAST THREE YEARS WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR MULTIPLE TIMES, BESIDE THE RECALL REPAIR, WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BUT NEVER FIXED. THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY AS THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS IT LOOSES POWER STEERING SO CONTROL AND SPEED PUT OURSELVES AND OTHERS AT DANGER. THE DATE AND MILEAGE MENTIONED BELOW IS THE LAST TIME THE STALL OCCURRED AND NOT REFLECTIVE OF ALL THE OCCURRENCES WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF FOR NO REASON. IT THEN REPEATEDLY TRIED TO RESTART ITSELF, EVEN WITH THE KEY IN THE "OFF" POSITION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS POWER STEERING IS LOST CAUSING HARD STEERING. THE DEALER PERFORMED THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL CLAIMING THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED.

MY JEEP HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO POSSIBLE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. I HAVE CALLED EVERY "CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE" DEALERSHIP AROUND ME AND ALL DEALERSHIPS HAVE A WAITING LIST OF A MINIMUM OF 2-3 MONTHS FOR PARTS TO BE IN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE MY SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY I FEEL THAT IT'S A BIT UNREASONABLE FOR ME (AND THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE LIST) TO WAIT FOR MONTHS FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED.

THE GEAR SHIFT MODULE IS BADLY DESIGNED IT USES A BRUSH THAT DRAGS ALONG CONTACTS TO TELL TRANNY WHAT GEAR IS SELECTED. OVER TIME THOUGH SOME OF THE CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL STARTS TO RUB OFF AND MAKE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN 2 OR MORE OF THE CONTACTS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ECU AND TRANNY CAN'T TELL WHAT GEAR IT'S IN AND GOES INTO LIMP MODE 20 MPH MAX A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION I'M LUCKY I DIDN'T GET REARENDED BY A VERY PISSED OFF SEMI RUCK DRIVER RECENTLY. I'M SURE SOME ONE HAS BEEN INJURED AND POSSIBLY KILLED BY THIS BADLY DESIGNED AND DANGEROUS MODULE.. CHRYSLER AND BENZ WERE PARTNERS IN 2007 AND BENZ USES A TOUCHLESS ( MAGNETIC) SYSTEM MUCH SAFER. JEEP JUST KEEPS ON PUTTING IN SAME PART NO IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE THE TCB TELLS DEALER TO PUT IN A NEW PART. THE ONLY WARNING SIGN YOU MIGHT GET IS ALL OF THE CIRCLES AROUND THE PRND ON YOUR DASH WILL BE LIT SHOWING YOU THE MODULE HAS NO IDEA WHAT GEAR IT'S IN BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS OR BUZZERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE 2010 ALWAYS WITH THE VEHICLE MOVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN VERY DANGEROUS!!
Engine, Jan 31, 2016
IGNITION RECALL REPAIRS MADE. ENGINE STILL STALLS SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED. AFTER PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK, HAVE TO REMOVE KEY AND REINSERT IT TO START ENGINE. NO POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, OR AIR BAG FUNCTIONALITY WHEN THIS OCCURS. ENGINE DOES NOT ALWAYS START RIGHT AWAY, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC LANES OR INTERSECTIONS. SERIOUS HAZARD. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND NO DIAGNOSIS. TO ATTEMPT DIAGNOSIS NOW AT DEALERSHIP, AM CHARGED $130. IF NO DIAGNOSIS MADE, THEN I HAVE TO PAY THE CHARGES. THIS IS AN UNTENABLE SITUATION FOR WHICH THE JEEP MANUFACTURER IS NOT WILLING TO ASSIST - I HAVE EMAILED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS. TO GET RID OF THE CAR, I WOULD HAVE TO TRADE IT IN AT A DEALERSHIP SINCE IT IS NOT SELLABLE PRIVATELY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR STALLS IN MOTION OR AT REST AND HAS QUIT ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAYS - VERY DANGEROUS!!! SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS QUIT WHILE IN TURNS AND WHEN GOING STRAIGHT. IT IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN THE CAR IS COLD OR THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS COLD. ONE DAY IT STALLED 5 TIMES.
