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.

VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE IDLING OR DECELERATING. JEEP MUST BE PUT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL AND IGNITION COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND BACK ON FOR CAR ENGINE TO TURN OVER. VEHICLE ALSO HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, ALSO NEEDING TO BE RESTARTED TO RESUME FUNCTION. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON HALF OF THE TIME ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AND BEEN RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE STALLS ANYWHERE FROM ONCE TO A DOZEN TIMES A DAY WHILE DRIVING AND IT OCCURS MORE IN THE COLD WEATHER. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE REGARDING THE ISSUE, AND HAS DIFFERENT CODES WITH EACH VISIT FOR THINGS THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED. THIS VEHICLE IS A LARGE SAFETY HAZARD.

I HAVE 2 RECALLS FROM JEEP AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FOR YEARS, THEY ARE P41/NHTSA 14V-438 AND P73. EVERY TIME I GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS. THE FORMS THEY SEND OUT DON'T HAVE A DATE ON THEM SO THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE ANY INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE AS TO HOW LONG THE CUSTOMER SITS ON THESE AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT OR THE CUSTOMER SELLS THE CAR AND THE PAPER WORK GETS LOST. THESE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS NEED TO BE JACKED UP A LITTLE BIT AND BE GIVEN AN ULTIMATUM TO GET THESE RECALLS FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS IS CAUSED BY THERE CRIMINAL INTENT TO NOT TO FIX THESE RECALLS.

THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL (SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, FUEL, TEMP GAUGES) WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. POWER IS ALSO LOST TO ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS, THE AC/HEAT, AND RADIO. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY BUT CAN BE MANIPULATED BY WIGGLING THE KEY WHILE IT IS IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR IS ON.
