I BOUGHT THIS JEEP IN MARCH ON 2012 , THEN FEW MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT STOPPED LATCHING UNLESS I DEPRESSED IT TO MAKE IT LATCH THEN A MONTH OR SO LATER THE PASSENGERS SEAT BELT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. BUT SINCE THEN THE SEAT BELT CHIME STARTED GOING OFF AND THE SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE DASH STARTED STAYING ON TOO. AT FIRST YOU COULD UNBUCKLE THE PASSENGERS SEAT BELT AND REBUCKLE AND IT WOULD STOP BUT NOW IF SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT IT DOESN'T STOP. NOW IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT OR NOT, IT WILL COME ON WITH JUST THE DRIVER IN THE SEAT AND I ALWAYS BUCKLE UP. THE CHIME WILL KEEP GOING OFF FOR A LONG TIME BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY STOP FOR AWHILE BUT THE SEAT BELT LIGHT WILL STAY ON BUT IF I STOP AT A LIGHT AND START GOING AGAIN IT WILL START CHIMING AGAIN. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND THE LATCHES IS AGGRAVATING TO HAVE TO DEPRESS THEM TO LATCH THEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES ,. I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ONE UNTIL NOW AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM TILL YOUR OUT OF WARRANTY, THEN IT HAS TO COME OUT OF OUR POCKET. MINE IS STILL NOT FIXED... NOT HAPPY THIS IS MY 3RD JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TO OWN HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GET A 4TH ONE BUT IT MAY DEPEND ON HOW THIS IS HANDLED. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS SINCE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A PREVIOUS PRIVATE OWNER ON OR ABOUT 19 NOVEMBER 2012. THE TWO FORWARD SEAT BELT BUCKLES, AT TIME THE OF PURCHASE WERE ALREADY EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. NEITHER ONE OF THE BUCKLES WOULD ALLOW YOU TO FREELY SNAP IN OR LATCH THE OTHER END OF THE BELT. THE ONLY WAY ONE COULD GET THE BELTS LATCHED WAS TO PRESS IN THE "RED RELEASE BUTTON" ON THE BUCKLE - IT WOULD THEN LOCK IN PLACE AS NORMAL. TO UNLATCH THE BELT, ONE WOULD PRESS THE "RED RELEASE BUTTON AS NORMAL AND THEY WOULD RELEASE. HOWEVER, ONCE IT WAS LOCKED INTO PLACE, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE DASH PANEL WOULD NOT GO OUT. IT REMAINED ON AND THE CHIMES WOULD CONTINUE TO SOUND AS IF THE BELTS HAD NOT BEEN MATED. EVENTUALLY, THE CHIMES WOULD SHUTDOWN, BUT THE LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON. THE OTHER STRANGE THING IS THAT THE CHIMES WOULD RETURN WHEN ONE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE CHIMES WOULD REMAIN ON FOR AN EXTENDED LENGTH OF TIME BEFORE THEY SHUTOFF. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE LOCKING BUCKLE ASSEMBLY ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I DID ORDER THE PARTS FROM THE DEALER AND HAD A MECHANIC REPLACE THE ASSEMBLIES. THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUE WITH THE BELTS SINCE THE REPLACEMENT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND THE INFORMATION I HAVE ACCESSED ON THE INTERNET, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE CHRYSLER MOPAR PART NUMBER FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS 1CB121D5AB AND IS CALLED, "ASSEMBLY, PRETENSIONER WITH MICROSWITCH". *TR

14V438000 · Electrical System:ignition:switch

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.

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

Opened Nov 18, 2010 · Closed Dec 28, 2015

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Unknown Or Other

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.
