MY HUSBAND WENT TO EXIT THE VEHICL AND THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE. WE ARE NOW NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF THIS. VERY CHEAPLY MADE AND FALLING APART PRIOR TO COMPLETELY BREAKING OFF. DOOR IS NOW UNUSABLE UNTIL I PAY A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE REPAIRED!! THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT!! IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES THE SAME AS THE INTERIOR PLASTICS OF THE ACTUAL HANDLE ARE ALREADY COMPLETELY BROKEN OUT. THE PIECES LITERALLY CRACK AND FALL OUT! THE ONLY FIX AT THE DEALER IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL AND A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH. MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO NOW THIS IS AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE SINCE CHRYSLER DECIDED TO USE CHEAP AND UNRELIABLE PARTS. THE DOOR HANDLE PIECE IS REPLACEABLE FROM AN AUTO PARTS STORE. THEY ARE $140.00 EACH PLUS LABOR FOR SOMEONE TO DO THE WORK. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!! IN DOING RESEARCH THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THIS IS HAPPENING TO!!!

I TOOK MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ( 63000 MILES ) TO THE DEALERS FOR THE N23 RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER,SO THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF AND ROLL AWAY. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CODE; SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM APPEARED ON THE DASH. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR A DIFFERENT RECALL, I TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK IF THE REFLASH HAD CAUSED THIS ERROR CODE. JUST LIKE I HAVE READ ON JEEP FORUM AND ONLINE NEWS ARTICLES, THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE N23 RECALL. THEY WANTED $350.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM,PLUS LABOR AND PARTS TO REPAIR THE CAR. I BELIEVE THE ANTIOCH JEEP DEALERSHIP KNOWS THAT THE RECALL REPROGRAMMING OF THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER SHOWED THAT THERE IS A CRACKED CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE UNIT AND THAT IT IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM IN OVER 250,000 CARS. I WOULD ASK YOUR HELP IN BRING THIS PROBLEM OUT INTO THE OPEN,SO ALL CAR OWNERS IN MY SITUATION,ARE NOT ASKED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. ALSO I ASK THAT YOU HELP US MAKE THE JEEP CORPORATION STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, DO THE RIGHT THING, AND MAKE THIS REPAIR FREE THROUGH A NEW RECALL.

Official recalls
4Jul 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.

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.
