MY JEEP SEEMS TO MATCH UP TO A VERY COMMON PROBLEM RELATED TO A TOTAL INTERGRATED POWER MODULE. THE PROBLEM IS SO INTERMITTENT THAT BASICALLY EVERYTHING MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE TIPM IS MY NEXT REPLACEMENT. I HAVE FREAKY ISSUES WITH MY VERY CLEAN JEEP COMMANDER 2008 LIMITED 5.7L HEMI. ITS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY WHAT HAS BEEN REPLACED. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND A JEEP PRODUCT AS THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE KNOWN BUT DUE TO COST JEEP BASICALLY DENIES THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE WOULD BE THE POSTER VEHICLE FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND JEEP NEEDS TO FIX THIS AS THIS IS NOT RIGHT. WAY TOO MUCH MONEY IS BEING PAID OUT FOR REPAIRS THAT DO NOT WORK.

Official recalls
4Sep 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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
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.
