MY WIFE WAS TAKING OUR GRAND DAUGHTER TO THE HOSPITAL AT 10 PM AND EVERY DUMMY LIGHT CAME ON THE JEEP AND IT STARTED IDLING FUNNY THE TAILLIGHTS WENT OUT SO SHE HAD TO DRIVE THAT LATE AT NIGHT WITH NO BRAKE/ TAILLIGHTS ON 69 WITH OUR GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE BACK. WITH NOTHING WORKING WHAT WOULD KEEP SOMEBODY HITTING HER IN THE REAR END OR EVEN WORSE WHAT IF SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY BECAUSE THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY WIFE HAS CALLED CHRYSLER JEEP AND MADE A COMPLAINT AND THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. WE HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED EITHER.....IT HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHENEVER THEY ARE DRIVING. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO WITH 100,000 MILES ON IT AND PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY KEEP SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. MY WIFE HAS SEVERAL VIDEOS OF EVERYTHING GOING HAYWIRE IN THE JEEP WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. ANYTHING NHTSA CAN DO TO HELP US OUT ON THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED ESPECIALLY BEFORE ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS GET HURT. THANK YOU KEVIN

Official recalls
5Jul 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.
