NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 14V-438 RECALL DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 2014 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: P41 "SUMMARY: SOME JEEP COMMANDER AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE AN UNINTENDED CHANGE IN IGNITION SWITCH POSITION WHILE DRIVING. SAFETY RISK: THIS 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 VEHICLES SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDING THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS. REMEDY: CHRYSLER INTENDS TO REPAIR VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR). HOWEVER, THE PART REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO PROVIDE THE PART AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE ALL ELECTRICAL OTHER THAN THE POWER TRAIN FAILS, INCLUDING AIR-CONDITIONING. IF I JIGGLE MY IGNITION SWITCH EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON. IF THIS RECALL HAS SUCH A HIGH RISK LEVEL OF CRASH, INJURY, AND EVEN DEATH, WHY HASN'T JEEP COME UP WITH A REMEDY. I WORKED IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY COMBAT READINESS/SAFETY CENTER WHICH DEALS WITH ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND TRULY UNDERSTAND THE RISK OF INJURY OR EVEN DEATH THAT COMES WITH THIS POTENTIAL MATERIEL FAILURE. IF I WERE THE CEO FOR JEEP OR WORKED IN THEIR SAFETY DIVISION, I WOULD NOT PUT THIS OFF ANY LONGER. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE THE DISCOVERY OF THIS POTENTIAL MATERIEL FAILURE AND JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING. I RECOMMEND THAT JEEP IS PROACTIVE TO THIS FAILURE RATHER THAN REACTIVE.

AFTER STARTING VEHICLE AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AND GRINDING BEGAN AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD. SEVERAL DASHBOARD INDICATOR INCLUDING ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL LIT WITH "SERVICE 4X4 SYSTEM" MESSAGE. TOOK VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND TO HAVE RECALLS CORRECTED, INCLUDING MANUFACTURER RECALL N23 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 13V-175) REGARDING 'UNINTENTIONALLY CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE TO SHIFT INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER.' FIRST AVAILABLE DATE FOR SERVICE WAS 7-15-15. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE (CHRYSLER PART NO. 56044129AP) WAS CORRUPT/NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. N23 RECALL STILL SHOWS UNDER MY VIN AS INCOMPLETE. PART WAS ORDERED BY PARTS DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP AT TIME OF INITIAL SERVICE. I WAITED APPROX. 4 WEEKS FOR THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO OBTAIN THE PART. AFTER MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY RECEIVED A SHIPMENT OF THE PARTS, BUT THAT THERE WERE CUSTOMERS AHEAD OF ME WAITING ON SAME PART. I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND MANAGER. I INQUIRED WITH THE CASE MANAGER AS TO WHY THE PART IS BACKORDERED AND IF THE PART HAS MALFUNCTIONED ON MULTIPLE VEHICLES, THEN WILL THIS BE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE RELATED TO THE N-23/13V-175 RECALL. AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CONVERSATIONS, CASE MANAGER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BACKORDER, STATING THAT BACKORDER IS DUE TO "THE PART IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE." THE CASE MANAGER ADVISED THAT A RUSH WAS PLACED ON THE PART AND WOULD BE DELIVERED ON 8-27-15. THE PART WAS NOT DELIVERED ON 8-27-15 AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP. 3 CALLS TO AND MESSAGES LEFT FOR THE CASE MANGER WITHOUT REPLY. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY HAS THE PART AS OF 8-31-15 AND SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE. MORE THAN 6 WEEKS AFTER THE INITIAL SERVICE.

SINCE THAT FIRST STALLING EPISODE, THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 30 MORE TIMES. IT HAPPENS IN THE CITY, THE FREEWAY, DURING ACCELERATION, AND UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. EACH TIME, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. FURTHERMORE, THEY TELL ME THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT BEFORE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM AND OWNERS REPORT THE SAME EXPLANATIONS FROM THE DEALERSHIPS.

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

ON MAY 5, 2008, CHRYSLER LLC (CHRYSLER) SUBMITTED A DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT TO NHTSA CONCERNING AN ENGINE CALIBRATION ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN ENGINE STALL IN APPROXIMATELY 24,461 MODEL YEAR (MY) 2006 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 4.7L V-8 ENGINE AND BUILT FROM FEBRUARY 25, 2005 THROUGH JANUARY 11, 2006.ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) WAS PROGRAMMED WITH SOFTWARE THAT MAY ALLOW THE ENGINE TO STALL DURING CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS.CHRYSLER DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE PCM SOFTWARE IN THE RECALLED VEHICLES. INFORMATION PROVIDED BY CHRYSLER DURING PE07-009 AND EA07-007 INDICATED THAT A REVISED ENGINE CALIBRATION WAS IMPLEMENTED IN PRODUCTION EFFECTIVE JANUARY 12, 2006 FOR THE MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.7L V-8 ENGINES.ODI'S ANALYSIS OFCONSUMER COMPLAINTS, FIELD REPORTS AND OTHER DATA RELATED TO FIELD EXPERIENCE WITH ENGINE STALLING IN MY 2006 THROUGH 2007 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L, 4.7L AND 5.7L ENGINES IDENTIFIED AN ELEVATED RATE OF STALLING INCIDENTS IN THE MY 2006 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.7L ENGINES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE CALIBRATION CHANGE.ODI INTERVIEWED OVER 70 CONSUMERS WHO REPORTED STALLING INCIDENTS IN EARLY PRODUCTION MY 2006 4.7L VEHICLES.INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THOSE INTERVIEWS INDICATED THAT THE STALLING INCIDENTS WERE OCCURRING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, OFTEN OCCURRED DURING TURNS AND TYPICALLY OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE.THE INTERVIEWS DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY CONCERNS WITH RESTARTABILITY. ALTHOUGH THE EARLY MY 2006 PRODUCTION VEHICLES WITH 4.7L ENGINES MAKE UP ONLY ABOUT 15 PERCENT OF ALL MY 2006 THROUGH 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS BUILT BY CHRYSLER, THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR 465 OF THE 854 REPORTED STALLING INCIDENTS (54%), 6 OF THE 12 CRASH INCIDENTS (50%) AND THE ONLY INJURY CLAIM.THE STALLING RATE FOR THE RECALLED VEHICLES IS 1.90 PERCENT, ALMOST 7 TIMES GREATER THAN THE RATE IN THE REMAINING POPULATION (0.28 PERCENT).CHRYSLER'S RECALL COVERS THE VEHICLES WITH THE ELEVATED STALLING RATE.THE REMAINING VEHICLES HAVE RELATIVELY LOW RATES OF STALLING AND DO NOT EXHIBIT ANY SIGNS OF AGGRAVATING FACTORS SUCH AS PROBLEMS WITH RESTART. ODI ALSO ANALYZED COMPLAINTS ALLEGING CONCERNS WITH LOSS OF LIGHTING COINCIDENT TO STALLING INCIDENTS.THIS ANALYSIS IDENTIFIED SEVEN STALLING INCIDENTS WHERE LOSS OF EXTERIOR LIGHTING WAS ALLEGED.NO SPECIFIC CAUSE WAS IDENTIFIED IN THESE INCIDENTS AND THERE WAS NO DISCERNIBLE PATTERN REGARDING ENGINE, VEHICLE PRODUCTION OPTIONS, BUILD RANGE OR FAILURE TREND. THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED WITH CHRYSLER'S RECALL.

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY CHRYSLER DURING PE07-009 AND EA07-007 INDICATED THAT A REVISED ENGINE CALIBRATION WAS IMPLEMENTED IN PRODUCTION EFFECTIVE JANUARY 12, 2006 FOR THE MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.7L V-8 ENGINES.ODI'S ANALYSIS OFCONSUMER COMPLAINTS, FIELD REPORTS AND OTHER DATA RELATED TO FIELD EXPERIENCE WITH ENGINE STALLING IN MY 2006 THROUGH 2007 JEEP COMMANDER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L, 4.7L AND 5.7L ENGINES IDENTIFIED AN ELEVATED RATE OF STALLING INCIDENTS IN THE MY 2006 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.7L ENGINES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE CALIBRATION CHANGE.ODI INTERVIEWED OVER 70 CONSUMERS WHO REPORTED STALLING INCIDENTS IN EARLY PRODUCTION MY 2006 4.7L VEHICLES.INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THOSE INTERVIEWS INDICATED THAT THE STALLING INCIDENTS WERE OCCURRING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, OFTEN OCCURRED DURING TURNS AND TYPICALLY OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE.THE INTERVIEWS DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY CONCERNS WITH RESTARTABILITY. ALTHOUGH THE EARLY MY 2006 PRODUCTION VEHICLES WITH 4.7L ENGINES MAKE UP ONLY ABOUT 15 PERCENT OF ALL MY 2006 THROUGH 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS BUILT BY CHRYSLER, THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR 465 OF THE 854 REPORTED STALLING INCIDENTS (54%), 6 OF THE 12 CRASH INCIDENTS (50%) AND THE ONLY INJURY CLAIM.THE STALLING RATE FOR THE RECALLED VEHICLES IS 1.90 PERCENT, ALMOST 7 TIMES GREATER THAN THE RATE IN THE REMAINING POPULATION (0.28 PERCENT).CHRYSLER'S RECALL COVERS THE VEHICLES WITH THE ELEVATED STALLING RATE.THE REMAINING VEHICLES HAVE RELATIVELY LOW RATES OF STALLING AND DO NOT EXHIBIT ANY SIGNS OF AGGRAVATING FACTORS SUCH AS PROBLEMS WITH RESTART. ODI ALSO ANALYZED COMPLAINTS ALLEGING CONCERNS WITH LOSS OF LIGHTING COINCIDENT TO STALLING INCIDENTS.THIS ANALYSIS IDENTIFIED SEVEN STALLING INCIDENTS WHERE LOSS OF EXTERIOR LIGHTING WAS ALLEGED.NO SPECIFIC CAUSE WAS IDENTIFIED IN THESE INCIDENTS AND THERE WAS NO DISCERNIBLE PATTERN REGARDING ENGINE, VEHICLE PRODUCTION OPTIONS, BUILD RANGE OR FAILURE TREND. THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED WITH CHRYSLER'S RECALL.
