I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER AWHILE BACK THAT A DEFECT ON MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. IT WAS A CASE OPENED IN JUNE, 2014 BY NHTSA FOR PE14017. CHRYSLER SAID NO SOLUTION HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THE TIME THEY SENT THE LETTER BUT THE LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR WOULD REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. THE LOCAL DEALER HAS NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT "REASONABLE TIME" MEANS BUT WANTED TO ASK YOU HOW LONG YOU THINK I SHOULD NEED TO WAIT BEFORE A SOLUTION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH CHRYSLER SAYS "MAY EXPERIENCE 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 AIRBAGS." THANK YOU. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE ENGINE STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. I HAD IT TESTED, AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE DOES NOT EXIST ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT YET ITS THE ONLY CODE THAT IT IS GIVING OFF. I'M STILL HAVING STALLING ISSUES WHICH ARE DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT OF INTERSECTIONS. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS ONGOING THAT I'M HAVING, IS THE SUNROOF LEAKING. I HAVE LITERALLY 2 GALLONS OF WATER THAT WILL BE ON MY FLOOR BOARD WHEN IT RAINS. YOU CAN HEAR WATER SLOSHING ABOVE YOUR HEAD BEFORE IT HITS THE WIRING IN THE DOOR PANELS AND THEN COLLECTS ON THE FLOOR BOARDS. *TR

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
