THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS OPERATING PROPERLY 3 MINUTES PRIOR TO ATTEMPTED STARTS. THE FIRST ATTEMPT, THE ENGINE FIRED UP AND REVVED UP BUT IMMEDIATELY DIED. SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS WERE SIMILAR. AFTER ABOUT 4 OR 5 ATTEMPTS, THERE WAS A LARGE RATTLING NOISE AND THE ENGINE BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO START. AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND HAVING THEM OPEN UP THE ENGINE, WE FOUND THAT THE VALVE SEAT HAD DROPPED OUT FROM THE CYLINDER HEADS AND MUST HAVE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OPERATE INCORRECTLY. THE VALVE SEAT HAD SHATTERED INTO MANY TINY PIECES, WHICH MOST LIKELY CAUSED THE RATTLING NOISE. UPON INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND THAT THE VALVE SEAT DROPPING OUT IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINE IN MY JEEP AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY DODGE AND CHRYSLER. THIS IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD REQUIRE THE IMMEDIATE ACTION OF CHRYSLER TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR VALVE SEATS. *TT

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A 4.7 V8. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS (QTY 2) ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SHEARED RESULTING IN EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK (POSSIBLY DUE TO HEAT OR UNDER ENGINEERING RUST WAS NOT A FACTOR). I HAVE MADE CHRYSLER AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH THE 4.7 V8 FOUND NOT ONLY IN THE GRAND CHEROKEE BUT THE COMMANDER, AND DODGE DURANGO AS WELL. A LEAKING EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAN CAUSE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES. THIS ISSUE CAN ALSO RESULT IN TOXIC FUME INHALATION THROUGH CABIN AIR INTAKE PORTS. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1300 TO REPLACE (8) BOLTS THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN MY SAFETY, AND EXCUSED THE ISSUE BY STATING THAT "CARS ARE JUST NOT MADE LIKE THEY USED TO BE". I FIND THIS RIDICULOUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE CAN RESULT IN DEATH, OXYGEN DEPRIVATION, AS WELL AS SERVER BURN IN THE EVENT OF FIRE. *TR

2005 JEEP HAS BEEN SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL SINCE FEBRUARY 2013. IT CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY OF REAR-ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NO MAJOR DAMAGE WAS DONE THANKFULLY! A FEW WEEKS LATER I EXPERIENCED A ROLLAWAY. I WENT INTO THE SITTER TO PICK UP MY SON. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF BEING INSIDE I MY JEEP ROLL ACROSS THE STREET! I GO RUNNING OUTSIDE, OPENED THE DOOR AND PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BREAK...JUST MISSING AN EMBANKMENT! SINCE THE "NEUTRAL" THING STARTED I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON. MY MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND HE SAID ITS ALL ELECTRICAL. ALSO, I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW GOING UP/DOWN SLOWER THAN THE REST OF THE WINDOWS SINCE 3 MONTHS INTO PURCHASE. OTHER ISSUES ARE CRACKED DOOR HANDLES (BOTH FRONT DOORS), REPLACING TAILLIGHT KIT, AC SWITCH-A FEW TIMES AS IT WOULD ONLY WORK ON HIGH. *TR

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.

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. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 31, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

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
