I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES FROM CHRYSLER SINCE SEPTEMBER 2014. I DID EVERYTHING THE RECALL NOTICE PROMPTED ME TO DO UNTIL THE PARTS CAME IN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR TO SEE IF THE PARTS CAME IN. I REALLY DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES UNTIL AUGUST 3,2015. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND MY CAR JUST TURNED OFF. I HAD NO POWER STEERING BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITH NO PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME. I NEW IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE SO I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE PARTS FOR THAT RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE SO THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND I AM A NURSING STUDENT AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR. I HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT AND ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT HAS TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY I HAVE EITHER BEEN IN SLOWER TRAFFIC OR SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. THIS WEEK ON 3 OCCASIONS I WENT TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED AAA BUT BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED IT STARTED AGAIN. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR, I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD GET A CAR FOR ME TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THEIR RECALL AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO THAT. THIS IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE. I GO TO SCHOOL FULL TIME, AM DOING MY CLINICALS AND PERCEPTORSHIP AT THE HOSPITAL AND WORK PART TIME TO PAY MY RENT. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR MY CAR AND THIS COULD BE A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. YESTERDAY (9/23/2015) I STOPPED BY BAXTER JEEP IN OMAHA, NE TO SEE IF THEY COULD GET ME IN TO CHECK MY CAR BECAUSE IT DIDN'T START THE FIRST TIME I TRIED TO START IT THAT MORNING. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T GET IT IN UNTIL OCTOBER 7. I WENT TO ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR SERVICER AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH PERTAINING TO THE RECALL.

Official recalls
4Jul 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 November 18, 2010, NHTSA's Recall Management Division (RMD) opened an audit query (AQ10-001) to investigate recall remedy completion by rental car companies on safety recall campaigns.It was expected to provide the agency an indication of how completely and how quickly rental car fleets perform necessary recall-related remedies on the vehicles owned and then rented/leased for use on the roadways.RMD queried three (3) major motor vehicle manufacturers (Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors) and requested data regarding completion figures for fifteen (15) discreet safety recalls.Analysis of this data demonstrated that rental car recalls completion was neither complete nor consistent.The rental car companies representing the largest market share in the industry were then queried as to their respective policies for the rental, lease, and sale of vehicles with open recalls.The data and responses from the manufacturers and the rental car companies can be found in the document repository by accessing the ?Associated Documents link above.In December 2015, Congress enacted the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.One section of the Act prohibits rental car companies from renting, leasing, or selling motor vehicles subject to open safety recalls.With the passage of the FAST Act and its prohibition, there is no continuing need for the agency to investigate rental car recall completions.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The agency reserves the right to open any future investigations, including audits of individual recalls, or groups of recalls, or rental car companies, to examine more closely safety recalls performance and completion issues in this area.
