A FEW WEEKS/MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY JEEP ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, I NOTICED THAT MY CRUISE CONTROL HAD STOPPED WORKING AND THE ABS LIGHT HAD COME. I CHECKED MY FUSES AND RELAYS AND THEY WERE OK. THEN A DAY OR SO LATER I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. MY JEEP THEN SEEMED TO DOWNSHIFTED ITSELF. IT FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD LOCKED UP, IT SLOWED TO ABOUT 30MPH AND WOULD NOT SHIFT ONTO ANOTHER GEAR. I PULLED OVER KILLED THE MOTOR. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS TO DRIVE IT, I TURNED THE KEY OVER AND NOTICED THE BREAK AND ENGINE LIGHTS WERE OFF SO I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME AND WAS SUCESSFULL. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE OFTEN. I NOTICED THAT IT MAINLY HAPPENED WHEN EITHER I WAS RUNNING MY AC OR IT WAS WET/RAINING OUTSIDE. I THEN STARTED RESEARCHING JEEP PROBLEMS AND RECALLS. I CAME ACROSS THE DAMINONCRYSLER RECALL NO. 13. THE RECALL HAD DESCRIBED THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING, SO I RESEARCHED MY VIN AND IT STALED THAT THE RECALL NO. 13 HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED ON JEEP. NOW MY JEEP IS STUCK IN LIMP MODE AND WILL NOT RESET. IT WILL NOT SHIFT AND THE ABS, BRAKE AND ENGINE LIGHTS STAY ON. IS THERE A WAY TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT SERVICE DID THEY DID WHEN IT WAS RECALLED IN 2005 (IF ANY)? I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

Jul 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.

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.

Sep 14, 2005
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L ENGINES AND NAG1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CONDENSATE WATER MAY ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. THIS CAN RESULT IN SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IT CAN LEAD TO INCREASED TRANSMISSION OPERATING TEMPERATURES, BOILING OF THE WATER, AND A SUBSEQUENT PURGING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION FOR LEAKAGE AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. IF NO LEAK IS DETECTED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR SHIELD WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF THE PRESENCE OF A LEAK IS DETECTED, THE VEHICLE WILL BE EVALUATED FOR SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER ENGAGEMENT. IF NO SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE TRIPLE FLUSHED, AND NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TORQUE CONVERTER WILL BE REPLACED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED.
