WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR JEEP TO DO SOMETHING? I HAD ONE REP SAID WE'LL REIMBURSE ME, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO REIMBURSE ME, FOR A PART THAT'S NOT EVEN IN PRODUCTION. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE I RESIDE LAST YEAR ABOUT THE LIGHTS FLICKERING AND THE PLEASE FIX THE ELECTRICAL BRAKE SYSTEM ERROR, THE REFUSED , BECAUSE THEY STATED, THEY NEVER SAW IT.

ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AGO CHRYSLER CONTACTED ME VIA A LETTER INFORMING ME OF A RECALL FOR UNINTENDED CHANGES IN IGNITION SWITCH POSITION IN MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE CALLED THEM THREE TIMES ALREADY SINCE I RECEIVED THE LETTER NOTICE WHEN WILL THEY FIX MY CAR. CHRYSLER SAID THAT SOON THEY WILL SEND ME ANOTHER LETTER ONCE THEY HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY CAR SO I CAN TAKE MY CAR TO GET REPAIRED AT THE DEALER. EIGHT MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND CHRYSLER HAS NOT CONTACTED ME TO FIX MY CAR. EVERYTIME I CALL THEIR RECALL HOTLINE ALL THEY SAY THEY WILL CONTACT ME NEXT MONTH AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX MY CAR. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON I AM DISPUTING THIS ISSUE WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION DUE TO NEGLECT BY CHRYSLER. I NEED HELP TO GET MY CAR FIXED. DRIVING MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND RISKFULL TO MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY.

Official recalls
3Jul 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.
May 7, 2013
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.
