IN MARCH OF 2012, I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER V8 ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY.AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, I HAD BEEN DECREASING SPEED, WHEN THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES. HOWEVER, WHEN I PRESSED DOWN HARD ON MY BRAKES, MY BRAKES/ANTI-LOCK BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. WHILE TRYING TO BRAKE, MY CAR STALLED AND CONTINUED TO PROPEL FORWARD, CAUSING A LACK OF STEERING CAPABILITY, INEVITABLY CAUSING A CRASH, IN WHICH MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AFTER THE POLICE ARRIVED, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND BARELY MADE IT HOME, HAVING TO PUSH IT SEVERAL BLOCKS. MY SUV WENT INTO THE SHOP FOR ALMOST ONE MONTH. AFTER MY SUV WAS FIXED, INCLUDING EXTERIOR AND RADIATOR, THE SUV CONTINUED TO OVERHEAT WITHOUT CAUSE AND IT WAS NOW CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS AS THE ISSUES APPEARED TO BE MINOR. I ENDURED MAJOR HARDSHIP AS A RESULT ON THIS ACCIDENT, INCLUDING LACK OF WORK AND OCCURRED AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME FOR ME TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE, RESULTING IN A HIGH INTEREST RATE AND SKYROCKETING INSURANCE, SINCE I WAS CONSIDERED AT FAULT, DESPITE LACK OF BEING CITED DUE TO VEHICLE ISSUES. AFTER 2 YRS, I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO REFINANCE MY CAR; HOWEVER, MY INSURANCE WILL REMAIN HIGH TIL FEB 2015 @$314 (35 MOS). I DID NOT REALIZE WHY THE VEHICLE'S BRAKING AND STALLING OCCURRED AS I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL UNTIL JULY 2014! IF RECALLS OCCURRED IN 07-09, WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT? THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED! WHEN I CALLED TO SPEAK TO CHRYSLER, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SCRAPPED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SOME PEOPLE CAN BE COMPENSATED FOR ISSUES, BUT I AM DISREGARDED DESPITE THE ONGOING HARDSHIP CAUSED BY A DEFECT CAUSED BY CHRYSLER! IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP!? *JS

I'M NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH CHRYSLER COMPANY RECALL SERVICE. MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS A P41 RECALL ON IT, IT WILL DO ALL SORTS OF CRAZY AND UNSAFE THINGS WHEN DRIVING. EXAMPLES: THE JEEP WILL NOT START, WHEN STARTING IT THE IGNITION SWITCH CLICKS, THE POWER IS ON FOR EVERYTHING. JEEP TOLD ME TO PUT IN DRIVE AND THEN BACK IN PARK, THEN TRY TO START IT. THAT DOES NOT WORK. DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE THE JEEP WILL SHUT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ONCE PULLED OVER IT NEEDS RESTARTED AND THEN IT RUNS AGAIN. IT ALSO SHIFTS TO 3RD GEAR WHEN COMING OFF THE EXIT RAMP WHEN SPEEDING UP TO GET ON INTERSTATE, AGAIN I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND NOW I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. CALLING CHRYSLER, THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP OR PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR. THEY SAY EVERY TIME I CALL IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE IGNITION REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT ESCALATING THE ORDER AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. THEY WANT US TO DRIVE A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE INSTEAD OF PROVIDING US WITH A RENTAL CAR. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAVE NO TIME FRAME OF WHEN THE PART IS TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE DEALERS SO THIS ISSUE CAN BE CORRECTED AND THAT THEY CAN'T JUST GIVE OUT RENTALS TO EVERYONE WITHOUT KNOWING WHEN THE ISSUE WILL BE FIXED. I NEED HELP, I NEED A WAY TO WORK AND I NEED A SAFE VEHICLE. *JS

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY THE JEEP LOST POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH FROM THE ON RAMP ON TO THE RIGHT LANE OF THE FREEWAY.

THE JEEP IS UNDER RECALL P41 FOR IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE CAUSING THE ISSUES, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM CHRYSLER. THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED AND/OR DISTRIBUTED. IT IS POSSIBLE THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD CONTROL MODULE. THE RECALL FOR FAULTY CONTROL MODULES WAS ISSUED SEPT. 21, 2014 BUT THIS MAKE AND MODEL WAS NOT COVERED IN THAT RECALL ... ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS LIKELY IT IS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. *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.
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

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.
