SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP COMMANDER I HAVE EXPERIENCE TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON MANY OCCASIONS. THIS HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 6 MONTHS. WHILE DRIVING IN SPEEDS VARYING FROM 20 - 70 MILES AN HOUR MY CAR WILL LOSE POWER. PRIOR TO LOSING POWER ALL DASH LIGHTS, TACHOMETERS, HAZARDS, WARNING LIGHTS AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS WILL FLASH REPEATEDLY, VERY QUICKLY. WITHIN MOMENTS OF THE FLASHING LIGHTS MY GAS WILL SHUT OFF, MY BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILS AND MY STEERING WILL COMPLETELY LOCK UP. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF CONTROLLING MY VEHICLE IN ANY MANNER. SEVERAL TIMES MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED IN MAJOR TRAFFIC. NUMEROUS TIMES OTHER VEHICLES HAVE HAD TO MAKE DRASTIC MANEUVERS TO AVOID CRASHING INTO MY CAR. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED AND WAS NEARLY T-BONED WHEN MY CAR DIED AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. IN THE EVENT THAT I AM HIT, MY AIRBAGS HAVE NO POWER AND WILL NOT DEPLOY. MY WINDOWS AND LOCKS HAVE NO POWER. MY CHILDREN AND I COULD BE TRAPPED IN MY CAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT AT AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AND WILL NOT PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE THAT IS NOT A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND WAS TOLD NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND HAVE NO INDICATION AS TO WHEN OR IF THERE EVER WILL BE. I CANNOT SELL MY CAR BECAUSE NO ONE WILL BUY IT KNOWING IT HAS SUCH MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I OWN. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT DRIVE IN THIS CAR EVERYDAY. ONE OF MY CHILDREN HAS CANCER AND I NEED A SAFE RELIABLE CAR TO TAKE HIM FOR CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENTS. CHRYSLER IS NOT ACCEPTING ANY RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH I WAS MAILED A RECALL NOTICE. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE WE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL BUT WHEN WE CONTACTED OUR DEALER (ANSONIA FITSPATRICK JEEP) WE WERE TOLD THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE AND THAT WE NEEDED TO WAIT UNTIL WE RECEIVED A OTHER NOTICE / LETTER WHEN THE PART COMES IN.

I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-853-1403 MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE WAITED FOR AN HOUR ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WITHOUT A PICK UP. THIS IS ALSO NOT ACCEPTABLE.

MY WIFE AND I WERE COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT IN ROWLAND HEIGHTS TURNING RIGHT UNTO COLIMA BLVD. THE CAR, A JEEP COMMANDER 2007, SHUT OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN. THIS CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED(P41) BUT BECAUSE NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED BY CHRYSLER. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT IT WAS THE FIRST TIME WITH MY WIFE IN THE CAR. IT WAS A GOOD THING THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THIS TIME (ABOUT 4:00PM) I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WE DEAL WITH AND ALSO SENT A LETTER TO THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION IN WASHINGTON D. C. I WAS CONTACTED BY MR. JIM BURKE AND WE SET UP A TIME TO MEET MARCH 31 AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN VICTORVILLE. ACCORDING TO MR. BURKE HE IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH CHRYSLER. MR. BURKE INSPECTED THE CAR ON THE 31ST OF MARCH. IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 31ST ABOUT 100 YARDS FROM OUR HOUSE THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. THIS IS ABOUT THE FIFTH OR SIXTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED . THE FIRST TIME THROUGH THE FOURTH TIME IT WAS ALWAYS LATE IN THE EVENING USUALLY ON A SATURDAY. I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROCESS. MY WIFE IS RIGHT WHY SEND OUT A RECALL NOTICE IF NO PART WILL BE AVAILABLE? I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED SO THAT WE ARE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS RECALL BY CHRYSLER.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED EDITION 4X4 AT VARIOUS SPEEDS CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. ALL POWER FEATURES INCLUDING STEERING WHEEL LOCK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. FORCED TO MANEUVER TO SHOULDER IF POSSIBLE (DANGEROUS) PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RE-START. SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 50 TIMES SINCE 2010. HAVE SOUGHT INFORMATION FROM DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO NO AVAIL. MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE ON ROAD TESTS, WHICH IS EXPECTED SINCE THE STALLING IS UNPREDICTABLE. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 8/5/14 - COMPLETE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING (APPROXIMATELY 40MPG), STEERING WHEEL AND ALL OTHER POWER FEATURES LOCKED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN RE-STARTED. *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.

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

AQ10001 · Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit

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.
