APRIL 2014. STOPPED AT A STORE, WENT TO LEAVE AND BATTERY WOULDN'T TURN OVER; 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO DID THIS A COUPLE MORE TIMES LEAVING ME STRANDED (JUST WEEKS AFTER BUYING IT) IT SEEMED TO FIX ITSELF AFTER MY MECHANIC CLEANED BATTERY POST AND RE TIGHTENED CABLES. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO VEHICLE STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. DIDN'T WANT TO START AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD RUN GREAT AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE LIGHTS, ENGINE ETC... (I THINK MOST THE LIGHTS THAT COME ON IN DASH WHEN YOU FIRST START CAR). THEN TODAY. I WAS DRIVING AT 30MPH WHEN JEEP STARTED CUTTING OUT; LIGHTS ON DASH WOULD FLASH; CLOCK WOULD RESET TO 12; I'M TRYING TO STOP AND MY BRAKES ARE VERY STIFF; POWER STEERING EXTREMELY STIFF. A LADY PUSHED ME OUT OF THE ROAD, I PUT CAR INTO PARK. SHE THOUGHT I NEEDED TO BE PUSHED FURTHER BUT THEM THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. AFTER WAITING FOR OVER AN HOUR FOR AAA TO NOT SHOW, ANOTHER LADY OFFERED TO TRY AND JUMP JEEP. JEEP STARTED RIGHT UP. I HAD 10 MILES TO DRIVE THE WHOLE TIME DASH LIGHTS COMING OFF AND ON; STEERING ALL BUT FREEZING UP AND BRAKES TOO. BEFORE I LEFT MY SPOT JUST OFF THE ROAD THAT I HAD BEEN PUSHED TO , I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START JEEP. IT WOULDN'T START WO ASSISTANCE BUT I NOTICED EVERYTIME I CRANKED THE KEY THE CLOCK RADIO DID RESET TO 12. I'M HOPING IT'S THE IGNITION RECAP SO I CAN GET BACK TO A SAFE VEHICLE FOR ME AND MY TODDLER DAUGHTER VERY SOON. *TR

Jul 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.

Sep 14, 2005
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L ENGINES AND NAG1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CONDENSATE WATER MAY ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. THIS CAN RESULT IN SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IT CAN LEAD TO INCREASED TRANSMISSION OPERATING TEMPERATURES, BOILING OF THE WATER, AND A SUBSEQUENT PURGING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION FOR LEAKAGE AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. IF NO LEAK IS DETECTED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR SHIELD WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF THE PRESENCE OF A LEAK IS DETECTED, THE VEHICLE WILL BE EVALUATED FOR SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER ENGAGEMENT. IF NO SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE TRIPLE FLUSHED, AND NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TORQUE CONVERTER WILL BE REPLACED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED.
