WHEN VEHICLE GOES OVER A SMALL OR LARGE BUMP, A DASHBOARD LIGHT CLUSTER INDICATES TO SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ESP BAS WARNING LIGHTS. ABS IS NOTICEABLY DISABLED WHEN THIS LIGHT CLUSTER APPEARS. THE INDICATIONS USUALLY LAST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE GOING AWAY. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 18,000 MILES. WHEN BROUGHT UP AT THE DEALERSHIP DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, I AM TOLD THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON THIS LAST OCCASION, I LOST FULL BRAKING AUTHORITY AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GRADUALLY SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER TO THE FREEWAY SHOULDER WHILE APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE INDICATIONS WENT AWAY AND BRAKING WAS RESTORED. OBVIOUSLY, THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO START AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING OR THE ENGINE IS AT A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE. CAR CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AFTER ENGINE REACHES CERTAIN TEMPERATURE.
VEHICLE DISPLAYS ESP (ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM), BAS (BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM), ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) LIGHTS IN CLUSTER, AS WELL AS SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM.

WHILE THESE LIGHTS ARE ACTIVE, VEHICLE BECOMES UNSAFE AND BRAKES WHILE CORNERING UNDER ACCELERATION (WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKES!) AND HAS RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL. ISSUE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY REPORTED TO DEALERSHIPS AND MANUFACTURER (10 VISITS FOR THIS ISSUE SPREAD ACROSS 2 DEALERSHIPS, AND 4 CASES HAVE BEEN OPENED WITH JEEP DIRECTLY). ISSUE CONTINUES TO BE DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, AND SWITCH IS REPLACED. NEW SWITCH WORKS FOR 3-6 WEEKS BEFORE FAILING AGAIN, RENDERING VEHICLE UNSAFE. ONE EXAMPLE OF THIS ISSUE RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE LOOSING TRACTION OCCURED IN NOVEMBER 2015 WHILE GOING ON A CIRCULAR HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. HALF WAY THRU THE TURN, WHILE GENTLY ACCELERATING, THE REAR BRAKES COMPLETELY LOCKED UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SKID ONTO THE MUDDY SHOULDER. IN JANUARY OF 2016 A SIMILAR INCIDENT OCCURED WHILE GOING UP A SNOWY HILL (ROAD CURVES WHILE GOING UPHILL) RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE LOOSING TRACTION AND GOING INTO A SNOWBANK.

STARTED VEHICLE AND BACKED OUT OF GARAGE. DROVE DOWN STREET APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS WHEN ALL LIGHTS (DOME LIGHTS, INSTRUMENT LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS) FLICKERED MOMENTARILY.

NUMEROUS TIMES I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND MY CAR HAS LOST POWER AND I'VE HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE FOR MY CAR TO START ON THE FIRST TURN OF THE KEY. THE START GETS DRAGGED ON. SOMETIMES ALL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON WITH EVERY OTHER LIGHTS AS WELL. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE TO WAIT THEN START THE CAR AND IT WILL TURN ON. BESIDES THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING, NOW MY CAR WON'T TURN ON AT ALL. THE BATTERY IS FINE. RADIO AND EVERYTHING TURNS ON. BUT THE IGNITION WON'T CLICK OVER AND START MY CAR. SO, NOW I AM WITH NO CAR FOR WORK. I CALLED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS FOR MY CALLS RECALL BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE OUT OF THE PART THEY NEED. MY CAR WORKED THEN, JUST VERY SKETCHY, SO I WAS OK WAITING, JUST EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS. NOW IT WON'T EVEN TURN ON, I CALLED JEEP, THEY SAID THEY ARE STILL WAITIN FOR THE PART AND ALL I CAN DO IS WAIT ON THE LIST. THEY WON'T EVEN GIVE ME A LOANER SINCE IT'S A RECALL ISSUE AND NOT A "SERVICE" ISSUE. I HAVE NO CAR, AND NOT THE MONEY FOR A NEW ONE, SO NOW I'M AT A LOSS. *TR

514V438000 · 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.

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.
