I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN OCT. 2005 FROM MCCUNE CHRYSLER JEEP IN NATIONAL CITY, CA. INITIALLY, I STARTED NOTICING MY BRAKES SHIMMYING AS I CAME TO A STOP. I REPORTED TO MY DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BUT NO GOOD CAME OUT OF IT. THEN, LAST THURSDAY, SEPT. 13, I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION LIGHTS) FLASHING ON AND OFF AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP AND HEADED UPHILL. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE JEEP WANTED TO STOP AND GO AT THE SAME TIME. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IN THE VEHICLE THE NEXT WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $190 TO ANALYZE IT (SINCE MY JEEP WAS ABOUT 8,000 MILES BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD). THEN, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE INTERNET ABOUT RECALLS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON FRIDAY, SEPT. 14, 2007. I PRINTED THE ARTICLE AND BROUGHT IT TO MY SERVICE REP AT MCCUNE. THE REP INSISTED THAT IT WAS NOT MY PROBLEM AND THAT HIS DEALERSHIP HAD NOT HEARD OF A RECALL ON MY MAKE AND MODEL. SO, I CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN OAK RIDGE, TN. THE REPRESENTATIVES THERE INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. FRUSTRATED, I ACCEPTED THE DEALERSHIPS OFFER TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THEY QUOTED ME A $100 DEDUCTIBLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY. AS I DROVE OFF, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALL OVER AGAIN. I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE INSISTED THAT HE TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHTS NEVER CAME ON. I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM. I FEEL THAT HE MISLEAD ME AND THAT HIS DEALERSHIP NEVER REPAIRED MY VEHICLE. I WILL BRING MY VEHICLE BACK TO MCCUNE MONDAY MORNING (9/24/07) AND I WILL SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN. I PAID FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE LAST WEEK (OVER $100 AND THE DEALERSHIP NEVER OFFERED TO COVER MY EXPENSES. I AM SO FRUSTRATED. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN OCT. 2005. FIRST, MY BRAKES WOULD SHIMMY WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. THEN, BEGINNING SEPT. 13, I NOTICED MY DASH BOARD LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF AS I ACCELERATED AFTER A STOP AND DROVE UPHILL. NOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM DRIVIG THE VEHICLE UPHILL OR ON LEVEL AREAS ON THE HIGHWAYS AND FREEWAYS. IT GETS WORSE AND WORSE EVERYDAY. ON MONDAY, SEPT. 17, I CALLED TONY MCCUNE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP AND ARRANGED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING MY VEHICLE FOR A CHECK UP. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $190 TO ANALYZE IT. THEN, THEY CALLED ME IN THE AFTERNOON AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR THE JEEP EVENTHOUGH THEY STILL DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. BEFORE I WENT IN THE NEXT DAY, I SURFED THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER WAS RECALLING MY MODEL FOR THE CONDITIONS I EXPLAINED ABOVE (MALFUNCTION OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, WHICH AFFECTS THE BRAKING SYSTEM). THE DEALERSHIP INSISTED THAT MY JEEP WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. CALLING CHRYSLER IN OAK RIDGE, TN, I EXPERIENCED THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM A REPRESENTATIVE WHO INSISTED THERE WAS NO RECALL IN PLACE FOR MY MODEL. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THAT CHRYSLER WOULD EXTEND MY WARRANTY (SINCE IT HAD ALREADY EXPIRED) IF I WOULD PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE. ATER I PICKED UP MY JEEP AND DRIVE OFF, I NOTICED THE SAME THING HAPPENING AS I DROVE ONTO THE FREEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THE REPRESENTATIVE (BRUCE) INSISTED THAT THE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. I DON'T BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP EVER REPAIRED MY JEEP. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RUN-AROUND I AM RECEIVING FROM JEEP, CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL SERVICE REPS. I AM ALSO GRAVELY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

Official recalls
5Jul 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.

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.
