I WAS DRIVING THE 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE THAT WE PUCHASED AND ON THE SECOND DAY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR AT 80,000 MILES THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING ON AND OFF AND ALL THE EMERGENCY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WE PURCHASED FROM TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM, SO THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND DROVE IT AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. NOW RECENTLY THE PROBLEM STARTED TO WORSEN AS MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR AT NIGHT WITH OUR 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT ARE FLICKERING ON AND OFF THEN COMPLETELY GOING BLANK AND NOT COMING BACK ON. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS TO HAVE A VEHICLE THAT THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WHEN NEEDED ESPECIALLY DRIVING DOWN THE DARK ROADS OF TEXAS. SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, EVERYTIME I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO SHOP CANT EVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS ISSUE IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND OTHER FAMILY'S AT DANGER. WE DEPEND ON OUR VEHICLE TO BE RELIABLE AND SAFE. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT ON THESE 2005 VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT 90,000 MILES AND THE ISSUES HAVE GOT WORSE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE IS RESULTS IN A FATALITY. *TR
Official recalls
314V438000 · Electrical System:ignition:switch
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.

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.
