I ATTEMPTED TO INSTALL A CAR SEAT FOR A 3 YEAR OLD CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE. HOWEVER, THE HEAD REST INTERFERED WITH PROPER INSTALLATION OF THE CAR SEAT. THE HEAD REST WOULD NOT ALLOW THE SEAT TO BE TIGHTLY MOUNTED TO THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR, BUT RATHER HELD THE CHILD SEAT OUT BY ABOUT 2-3 INCHES. THIS PREVENTED THE SEAT FROM BEING SAFELY INSTALLED. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THE HEAD REST FROM THIS VEHICLE. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO GET THIS DONE. BUT WHEN THE HEAD REST IS REMOVED, THERE ARE TWO "PRONGS" THAT PROTRUDE OUT, MAKING THE SITUATION EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO GET ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO. THEY SAID GO TO THE DEALER, BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM EITHER. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN, AND THEY INSISTED THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. BUT IT IS! DAIMLER- CHRYLSER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A DESIGN FLOW. AT THE VERY LEAST THEY SHOULD PROVIDE A LIST OF INFANT CAR SEATS THAT CAN BE PROPERLY INSTALLED -- IF ANY SUCH SEATS EXIST. *JB

THE HEAD RESTS STRIKE THE TOP OF THE CAR SEAT SO THAT THE CONSUMER CAN NOT PUT THE CAR SEAT FLUSH AGAINST THE BACK SEAT. THE ONLY PLACE THE CAR SEAT WILL PROPERLY FIT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE REAR SEAT. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT TWO CAR SEATS CAN'T BE IN THE BACK SEAT. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY REFERRED HIM TO A DEALER THAT IS LICENSED TO INSTALL CAR SEATS. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM, THE DEALER HAD ALREADY INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER SAYS THAT THEY HAVE FIXED PROBLEM FOR 2006 YEAR MODEL BY REPLACING THE HEADRESTS, BUT THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO RETROFIT 2005 YEAR MODELS.

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.
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.

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. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 31, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
