AT DIFFERENT TIMES, I AND A FRIEND DRIVING MY JEEP 2006 5.7L HEMI COMMANDER HAVE ACCIDENTALLY SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY DOING 65MPH WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. HOW THIS HAPPENS IS LIKE THIS. DEPENDING ON HOW YOU SIT, WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR WHICH BRINGS YOUR KNEE UP RATHER CLOSE TO THE KEY IGNITION. IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ATTACHED TO YOUR KEY CHAIN SUCH AS OTHER KEYS THAT DANGLE DOWN, THEN ALL IT TAKES IS FOR YOU TO MOVE YOUR KNEE TO THE RIGHT THEREBY KNOCKING THE KEY CHAIN WITH THE DANGLING KEYS WHICH WILL IN TURN MOVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, BASICALLY SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE WHILE YOU ARE DOING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T REALIZE THAT THIS IS WHAT JUST TOOK PLACE BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO BUSY BEING A LITTLE FREAKED OUT ABOUT HAVING JUST LOST ALL ENGINE POWER BUT THE ELECTRICAL STILL WORKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. *TR

SUDDEN ACCELERATION - CAR WASH. ATTENDANT ENTERED VEHICLE AT END OF JAX CAR WASH IN ROCHESTER HILLS, MICHIGAN. I PERSONALLY OBSERVED EVENT - WHEN DRIVER PUT VEHICLE IN GEAR IN SUDDENLY VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED. THE QUICK REACTION OF THE JAX DRIVER PREVENTED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HE NEARLY MISSED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CAR WASH BEING DRIED OFF BY OTHER EMPLOYEES AND SEVERAL EMPLOYEES BY THE DRY TOWEL CONTAINERS - MANAGING TO GO BETWEEN THEM. HE ENDED UP RUNNING OVER A SIDEWALK CURB, BUT MANAGED TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF BEFORE ENTERING THE MAIN HIGHWAY. THE VIOLENT ACCELERATION I OBSERVED WAS JUST SHORT OF A MIRACLE THAT HE MANAGED TO AVOID PERSONNEL, VEHICLES, AND TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT ENTERED THE HIGHWAY. AFTER SHUTTING IT DOWN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND PERFORMED NORMALLY. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN THROUGH THIS CAR WASH PREVIOUSLY WITH NO ACCELERATION PROBLEM. IT HAD JUST TURNED OVER 18,000 MILES AND HAD NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN PREVIOUSLY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION.*AK

I PURCHASED 2006 JEEP COMMANDER DEC '06. HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES W/THE PERFORMANCE -SERVICE DEPT CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. APPROX THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, I WAS PULLING OFF FROM A PARKING SPACE -CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY. I ASSUMED THAT I HIT THE GEAR OR DIDN'T HAVE COMPLETELY ENGAGED. B/C A NEW CAR, I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE BUT NOT A REAL ISSUE. IN AUG '06, TAKING MY CAR IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, BACKING UP IN THE DEALERSHIP LOT & THE CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY. ADDED THE REQUEST TO HAVE THE ISSUE CHECKED. I EXPLAINED THIS WASN'T THE 1ST TIME THE CAR CUT OFF AND THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING FOUND. IN SEPT '06, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC - MY CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE HAZARD LIGHTS TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME THAT THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, AND SOMETHING NEEDED TO BE DONE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE SITUATION AND WAS ASKED TO PICK UP MY CAR. I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I WAS NOT PICKING UP MY CAR UNTIL SOMETHING WAS DONE. MY CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING! THAT IS NOT SAFE. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I AM IN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT TO SAY SEE, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED THAT THEY CONTACTED THE STAR HOTLINE AND REPLACED THE PCM AND INSTALLED A CONTROL PROGRAM. I HAVE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE STALLING AND HESITATION WHILE DRIVING BUT THE CAR HAS NOT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, NOR PASS OTHER VEHICLES. I FEEL TOTALLY VULNERABLE THAT THE COMMANDER WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. DURING MY LAST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE 1/31/07, I INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I AM STILL EXPERIENCING HESITATION/STALLING. THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO SET UP A TIME TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE FOR OVERNIGHT ROAD TEST. *NM

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.

AQ10001 · Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit

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.
