I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A 1.5 YEARS. I'VE ONLY HAD THE JEEP FOR 2 YEARS. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE VEHICLE JERKS AND PUTTS, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVENTUALLY FLASHES AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. CHRYSLER JEEP HAS NOT, TO THIS DAY, BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM EVEN WITH CHRYSLER ENGINEERS. THEY HAVE KEPT MY CAR FOR WEEKS AT A TIME TO NO RESOLVE. THEY HAVE TRIED REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS JUST TO SEE IF IT WORKS. ON A FEW OCCASIONS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CHRYSLER CORPORATE WILL NO LONGER ASSIST ME WITH THIS CASE. *TR

I PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2012 AND EVER SINCE WITH EACH RAIN STORM MY INTERIOR FLOODS AND IT IS STARTING TO AFFECT ELECTRONICS. I HAVE SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM AFTER N23 RECALL AND VEHICLE WON'T SHIFT INTO 4 LO. I HAVE SERVICE PARK ASSIST AND TPMS WARNING AND HAD ALL FOUR SENSORS REPLACED WITH WARNING RECURRING. I RECENTLY STARTED LOSING ALL FOUR DOOR SPEAKERS INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN THEY DO WORK THEY SOUND HORRIBLE. DISPLAY ON RADIO IS STARTING TO GO BLACK AND DIM. I HAVE LIGHTS ON DASH DISPLAY FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN THEY WANT. I HAVE CRAZY RPM FLUCTUATION AT IDLE AND RECENTLY TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO SHIFT AND RPM FLUCTUATIONS WHEN CRUISING AT HWY SPEEDS. I HAVE BUMPED THE KEY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND THE VEHICLE IS ESSENTIALLY SHUT OFF AND STILL MOVING. MOST PROBLEMS HAVE JUST RECENTLY BEGUN AND HAVEN'T TAKEN TO DEALER YET BUT AFTER READING ABOUT MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND JEEP NOT OWNING UP TO ANY OF THEM, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO CHASE PHANTOM PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALER CAN'T RECREATE AND CHANGE PARTS AND HOPE IT FIXES THE PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HAVE TO DRY THE VEHICLE OUT AFTER EVERY RAIN. I AM ABOUT TO HAVE TO WRITE IT OFF AS A LOSS AND BUY A NEW VEHICLE WHICH WILL NOT BE A JEEP. I GUESS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE FOR JEEP TO MAN UP AND ADMIT THEY MADE A TERRIBLE UNSAFE VEHICLE AND QUIT MAKING THEIR CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. *TR

A FEW DAYS LATER THE VEHICLE, WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH COMPLETELY SLOWED DOWN AGAIN BUT DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SERVICE PARK ASSIST ILLUMINATED ONTHEDASHBOARDWITHALL THE GEARS LIT UP AT THE SAME TIME AS IF SAYING THE JEEP WAS IN ALL GEARS AT THE SAME TIME. WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP, WERE THEY SCANNED THE CODE AND TOLD ME IT WASN'T A "REAL CODE" PROBABLY A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION AND IT SHOULD TURN OFF ON ITS OWN, WHICH IT DID, A DAY LATER. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 DIFFERENT TIMES THROUGHOUT THE 5 MONTHS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE. FINALLY I LOOKED ONLINEFOR RECALLS, THERE IS A POWER-TRAIN AND ELECTRICAL RECALL FOR THE TIME MY JEEP WAS MANUFACTURED, EXPLAINING ALL THE SAME TROUBLES I'VE BEEN HAVING, HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS ADVISED I HAD A SIDE AIRBAG RECALL BUT NOTHING ON POWER-TRAIN.WHEN I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE WARRANTY WAS FOR MY VEHICLE IN THE TIME IT WAS MANUFACTURED SHE TOLD ME IT WASN'T IN THE SYSTEM AND THAT IF I WANTED IT FIXED I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP PAY FOR IT AND KEEP MY RECEIPT AND WHEN CHRYSLER CAME OUT WITH A RECALL FOR MY JEEP I COULD COME FORWARD. MEANWHILE, I'M DRIVING AROUND IN A DOCUMENTED UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH MY 18 MONTH OLD IN THE BACK AND I HAVE TO EITHER WAIT FOR THIS CAR TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN AND THEY ISSUE ANOTHER RECALL. PLEASE HELP, I JUST WANT THIS VEHICLE TO BE SAFE FOR MY CHILDREN. *TR

Official recalls
5Jul 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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
May 7, 2013
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.
Remedy: 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.

Chrysler is conducting a safety recall of approximately 643,618 model year 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles to address the problem of ignition turning off while driving (see NHTSA recall 14V-438 for more information).According to Chrysler, these vehicles may experience an unintended change in ignition switch position while driving, which may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist, increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicle's safety features including the frontal air bags.Most of the reported incidents occurred as a result of driver interaction with the ignition key.Based on the recall action taken by Chrysler, this Preliminary Evaluation is closed.Additionalinformation on this closing resume, and the investigation are in the PE14-017 public file available online at SaferCar.gov.The ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10101116 10103300 10106060 10112589 10116788 10126986 10128093 10130780 10145501 10146213 10153018 10155291 10156396 10158165 10162933 10166746 10178559 10183305 10186545 10189530 10192237 10193106 10194092 10199552 10199986 10221500 10222283 10227253 10231011 10328609 10358324 10392364 10577532 10585326 10585976 10599142 10604990 10605091 10605209 10606494 10606610 10607043 10607614 10607785 10608196 10615565 10615671 10615761 10616124 10633266 10633313 10633724 10639371 10640010 10644827 10652526 10653000 10653382 10654009 10654139 10654809 10655095 10659448 10662220 10662703

AQ10001 · Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit

On November 18, 2010, NHTSA's Recall Management Division (RMD) opened an audit query (AQ10-001) to investigate recall remedy completion by rental car companies on safety recall campaigns.It was expected to provide the agency an indication of how completely and how quickly rental car fleets perform necessary recall-related remedies on the vehicles owned and then rented/leased for use on the roadways.RMD queried three (3) major motor vehicle manufacturers (Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors) and requested data regarding completion figures for fifteen (15) discreet safety recalls.Analysis of this data demonstrated that rental car recalls completion was neither complete nor consistent.The rental car companies representing the largest market share in the industry were then queried as to their respective policies for the rental, lease, and sale of vehicles with open recalls.The data and responses from the manufacturers and the rental car companies can be found in the document repository by accessing the ?Associated Documents link above.In December 2015, Congress enacted the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.One section of the Act prohibits rental car companies from renting, leasing, or selling motor vehicles subject to open safety recalls.With the passage of the FAST Act and its prohibition, there is no continuing need for the agency to investigate rental car recall completions.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The agency reserves the right to open any future investigations, including audits of individual recalls, or groups of recalls, or rental car companies, to examine more closely safety recalls performance and completion issues in this area.
