Electrical system, ignitionSep 17, 2014
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2008 Chrysler 300 vehicles manufactured May 31, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Dodge Magnum vehicles manufactured May 23, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Dodge Charger vehicles manufactured May 24, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured April 3, 2007, to May 12, 2008, and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured March 21, 2007, to May 12, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the ignition key (FOBIK) may not return to the "ON" position after being rotated to the "START" position, instead sticking between the two positions. Potentially, while the vehicle is being driven, the ignition may inadvertently move through the "RUN" position to the "ACCESSORY" or "OFF" ignition position, turning off the engine.
If the ignition stays between "START" and "ON" positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. 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 and key FOBs, free of charge. The recall began August 19, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P57.

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.

THIS SHALL SERVE TO INFORM YOU THAT I OWNER OF A JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO 2008 HAS FILED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES CONCERNING A RECALL WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO YEARS AND I AM STILLING FOR MY IGNITION SWITCH PART TO BE ORDERED. THE VEHICLE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS HAS PROVED TO BE UNSAFE BY STOPPING ABRUPTLY ON THE HIGHWAY BY LOSING POWER, PARKING LOTS BY FAILING TO START OR ON THE ROAD BY LOSING SPEED WHERE I COULD LITERALLY RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE. THIS IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM IN THE CAR WITH MY FAMILY ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY IGNITION SWITCH MAKES MY CAR LOSE POWER, NOT ONLY CAN I CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND HARM MY FAMILY AND I BUT OTHER VEHICLES WITH THEIR PASSENGERS TOO. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT MATTERS ARE BEING TAKEN TO FIND PARTS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. HOW LONG IS IT REASONABLE TO WAIT FOR RECALL PART TO BE ORDER AND FIXED FOR MY VEHICLE, UNTIL SOME TRAGIC ACCIDENT OCCURS? I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU, IF THERE IS EVER AN INCIDENT, NOT ONLY WILL I WILL FILE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES.
Steering, Other or unspecified, Jun 12, 2015
WHEN GOING ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR, SPECIFICALLY ON HIGHWAYS, AS SOON AS I HIT A LARGE BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE KEY "BUMPS" OUT OF THE ON POSITION AND INTO THE OFF POSITION. AS A RESULT, I LOOSE POWER STEERING, BRAKE ASSIST, LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND ALL OTHER POWER. I AM ABLE TO PUT MY 4 WAY FLASHERS ON AND STEER OFF THE ROAD, RESTART THE CAR, AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MOST RECENT WAS YESTERDAY WHEN GOING 70 ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE BEING TAILGATED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. WHEN THE KEY SLIPPED, I WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT BY THE TRACTOR TRAILER. THIS ISSUE IS A KNOWN RECALL; HOWEVER, WHEN REACHING OUT TO JEEP AND OTHER LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THEY ARE NOT OFFERING ANY SOLUTIONS TO REMEDY THE ISSUE IN THE MEANTIME. I WAS TOLD THAT IF I WANTED A RENTAL, IT WOULD BE OUT OF POCKET. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY KIDS AROUND OR COMMUTE TO MY JOB AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. JEEP DOES NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATED TIME OF WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE.

I WAS ENTERING A ROUND ABOUT AND THE JEEP JUST QUIT. I HAD NO POWER. IT WAS AS IF SOMEONE SHUT THE KEY OFF. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS AUTO. THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG AND THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS VIN NUMBER.
Electrical system, May 19, 2015
WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE JEEP SHUT OFF. NO POWER AT ALL. WHEEL LOCKED AND WE ABOUT CRASHED. THOUGHT MAYBE THE IGNITION KICKED BACK. (RECALL). NOPE THERE WASN'T ANY POWER AT ALL AFTER TRYING TO RESTART THE JEEP. CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE WIN FAILING AND ARE AWARE OF THE TSB BUT REFUSE TO RECALL THE JEEPS BECAUSE THEY SAY IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE TO RECALL ALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THESE ISSUES. SO TO RECAP.... WE ALMOST CRASHED THE JEEP AT 55MPH WHICH WOULD HAVE KILLED MY WIFE, OUR YOUNG TWIN BOYS, AND MYSELF. BUT FOR CHRYSLER TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE. SO AFTER A $200 TOW BILL AND 2 HOURS IN -20 DEGREES IN AN OHIO WINTER WITH NO HEAT THE JEEP STILL WON'T START. AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH I'VE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE CHRYSLER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE VERY POOR AND ANY STATIC ELECTRICITY WILL SHORT THEM OUT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES A FAMILY MEMBER OR THEIR OWN LIFE. I WILL GLADLY SELL THIS VEHICLE BACK TO CHRYSLER FOR THE AMOUNT I PAID. I HAVE PAID 10K AND OWE 9K STILL. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING AT ALL!
