WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT JUST SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND I HAD TO GUIDE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RESTART IT.THANKFULLY I WAS DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE I COULD DO THIS, IT DID THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES IN ONE OUTING, NOW ITS EVERY SO OFTEN. SO FAR IT HAS NOT DONE IT WHILE I'M OUT ON AN INTERSTATE BUT I TRY TO STAY CLOSE TO HOME TIL IT CAN BE FIXED. PLUS WHEN I HAVE ON MY LIGHTS MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF . THEN HERE RECENTLY THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND A FEW DAYS AGO IT STAYED ON AND HASN'T SHUT OFF. I'VE TALKED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL ITEM P41/ NHTSA 14V-438 AND I'M LIABLE FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE CONNECTED. I RECEIVED A LETTER ON THE RECALL A FEW MONTHS BACK BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK ON WHEN I CAN GET IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT STEPS I SHOULD TAKE TO GET THE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL SO I CAN ENJOY DRIVING MY VEHICLE AGAIN. THANKS AGAIN *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.
