MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF AFTER DRIVING 0.1 MILES OUT OF THE ALLEY IN 2012 AND AGAIN IN 2013 AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE DRIVEN AND IT SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IN NEUTRAL, BUT OF COURSE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES UNTIL IT COULD RESTART. I THOUGHT IT WAS A COLD ENGINE, HOWEVER I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER 9/3/2014 AND ASKED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH BE REPLACED. IT IS NOW 1 YEAR AFTERWARD AND THEY STILL HAVE NO PARTS TO REPAIR, ONLY SUGGEST THAT I USE A SINGLE KEY. HONESTLY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE, IT IS TIME TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT APPARENTLY THEY CAN'T MANUFACTURE THE PARTS IN 12 MONTHS.

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.
