OUT OF THE 4 INTERIOR DOOR PANELS, 3 OF THEM ARE BROKEN! MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE AND THE PRICE TO GET THIS FIXED IS RIDICULOUS! I'VE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS THAT THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN THEY PERSON/PERSONS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER AND/OR BOTH REAR DOORS COULDN'T GET OUT. I DRIVE MY JEEP EVERYDAY AND THE ONLY INTERIOR DOOR KNOB THAT ISN'T BROKEN IS THE DRIVERS SIDE! I RARELY HAVE OTHERS IN MY VEHICLE, BUT YET THE OTHER 3 DOOR KNOBS ARE BROKEN?!?!?! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I'VE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE ABOUT THE SITUATION.

THERE HAS BEEN AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THE KEYS/IGNITION SIMILAR TO GM. IT IS OLDER THAN THE HILLS BUT FIAT CHRYSLER HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT WAITING FOR PARTS. I BELIEVE I HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH BEFORE WE HAVE A TRAGEDY. INTERMITTENTLY, THE DASH LIGHTS GO ON AND GO OFF. IT HAS BEEN TRACED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH.

CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PART - THE CHEEP PLASTIC THEY DECIDED TO USE JUST CRUMBLED IN THE DOOR. INSTEAD THEY WANT ME TO PAY $340.00 FOR PARTS ONLY FOR "ONE" DOOR AND THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTALLATION.

AFTER CRANKING MY JEEP, THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD A LOUD CLICKING/TICKING SOUND. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE AIRBAG IS TRYING TO CONNECT BUT DOESN'T. IT HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE THIS SOUNDS OFF AND ON SINCE. NO SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN SINCE IT DOESN'T DO IT EVERY TIME. I DID ASK ABOUT IT WHEN GETTING MY OIL CHANGED.

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.
