CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AT RANDOM. WHEN IT DOES, PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST 20 OR SOMETIMES CAR "SPUTTERS" JERKING A LOT. SOMETIMES AT RED LIGHTS, RAIL ROAD CROSSINGS, ANYTHING REALLY WHERE THE CAR IS STOPPED, CAR WILL NOT RESUME DRIVING AND CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND I AM REVING IT UP. ELECTRONIC DASH PUTS A BRACKET OVER EACH GEAR, P R N D, ALL AT ONCE. WHEN ENGINE LIGHT IS ON IT IS ON FOR A PERIOD OF DAYS. WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AND PUT IT IN TO DRIVE IT MAKES THE MOST HORRIBLE SOUND AS IF I BACKED INTO A WALL AND JERKS. SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON IT'S AS IF I SMELL SOMETHING BURNING THROUGH MY AIR VENTS. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER OR ANY SHOP JUST FOR A DIAGNOSIS IT'S JUST MY LUCK THAT THE LIGHT TURNS OFF AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR IS FINE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FROM LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS!!! *TT

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 3.0 CRD DIESEL ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS AND THEN ABRUPTLY STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ON AN INCLINE (WITH A TRAILER IN TOW) AT THE TIME AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL BEING TOWED. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS IN THE JEEP AND TO ANY OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND TODAY (8/15/2011) I WAS TOLD THIS IS A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I DO KNOW OF OTHER 3.0 CRD JEEPS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.0 CRD DIESEL ENGINE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILURE. IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT ANY SPEED. *TR

STALLING CAUSES ALL ELECTRONICS TO SHUTOFF, WHICH RESULTS IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. NUMEROUS TIMES, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NEARLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THE STALLING ISSUE, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS RANDOM STALLING IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD THAT ENDANGERS BOTH ME, MY PASSENGERS, AND PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND ME. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON THE WEB REFERRING TO THE SAME STALLING ISSUE WITH THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (WK) AND THE JEEP COMMANDERS (XK).

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.

Chrysler is conducting a safety recall of approximately 643,618 model year 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles to address the problem of ignition turning off while driving (see NHTSA recall 14V-438 for more information).According to Chrysler, these vehicles may experience an unintended change in ignition switch position while driving, which may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist, increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicle's safety features including the frontal air bags.Most of the reported incidents occurred as a result of driver interaction with the ignition key.Based on the recall action taken by Chrysler, this Preliminary Evaluation is closed.Additionalinformation on this closing resume, and the investigation are in the PE14-017 public file available online at SaferCar.gov.The ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10101116 10103300 10106060 10112589 10116788 10126986 10128093 10130780 10145501 10146213 10153018 10155291 10156396 10158165 10162933 10166746 10178559 10183305 10186545 10189530 10192237 10193106 10194092 10199552 10199986 10221500 10222283 10227253 10231011 10328609 10358324 10392364 10577532 10585326 10585976 10599142 10604990 10605091 10605209 10606494 10606610 10607043 10607614 10607785 10608196 10615565 10615671 10615761 10616124 10633266 10633313 10633724 10639371 10640010 10644827 10652526 10653000 10653382 10654009 10654139 10654809 10655095 10659448 10662220 10662703

AQ10001 · Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit
Opened Nov 18, 2010 · Closed Dec 28, 2015
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Unknown Or Other
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.
