THE LAST 2 DAYS WON'T START AT ALL AND HAS DRAINED MY LESS THEN A YEAR OLD BATTERY. 3 WEEKS AGO WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN OR UP WHENEVER THEY WANT. DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK AT RANDOM. I BELIEVED MY CAR IS POSSESSED. READING MORE AND MORE I REALIZED MY TIPM IS BAD. I HAVE LEARNED WITH ALL THE RANDOM THINGS WITH THIS JEEP THAT I WILL NEVER BUY ONE AGAIN. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR AND TOO MANY ISSUES, WITH NO RESOLUTION OTHER THEN I HAVE TO EMPTY EVERY POCKET TO FIX IT. IT STALLS WHEN DRIVING IT SHIFTS INTO ALL GEARS SLOWS ME DOWN WHEN I'M ON HIGHWAY AT A VERY UNSAFE SPEED. IT IS UNRELIABLE AND I PUT MY LIFE MY KIDS AND OTHERS AT RISK WHILE DRIVING. SADLY, I BELIEVE JEEP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT SAFETY SINCE THERE IS 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS WITH SAME ISSUES. IT ALSO SAYS MY AIR BAGS WON'T WORK BECAUSE THE TIPM IS BAD. *TR

INTERMITTENT STALLING ISSUE. INITIALLY THE VEHICLE STARTS AND RUNS FINE. AFTER STOPPING OR EXTENDED DRIVING DURATION THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOM START STALLING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND DINGS. THIS WILL LAST FOR A FEW MINUTES SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES THE ENTIRE TRIP. THE LAST FEW TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WE WERE NEARLY REAR ENDED AND PULLED OVER UNTIL IT WAS SOMEWHAT DRIVE ABLE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT AT THIS TIME FOR FEAR IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR A FEW YEARS AND HAS RECENTLY GOTTEN WORSE. WE'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PARTS REPLACED BUT NOTHING HAS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TRIP TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE DESCRIBED ISSUE. WITH THE USE OF A SCOPE AND CODE REVIEW, MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN TO REPLACING SMALLER, SIMPLE PARTS IN HOPES OF A SIMPLE SOLUTION....SPARK PLUGS, 02 SENSORS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. NOTHING HAS HELPED. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. SEEING ALL THE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE TO START AN INVESTIGATION OR RECALL? IT'S A SHAME AN ACCIDENT IT WHAT IT MAY TAKE TO ATTRACT ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE.

THE BEGINNING OF JULY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TWO DAYS AFTER THAT THE CHECK GAS CAP CAME ON. I BOUGHT AN AFTER MARKET CAP FROM AUTOZONE. THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE PURGE SOLENOID AND ESIM MODULE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF WHEN WE PICKED UP THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT WAS STARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND GAS CAP LIGHT CAME BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE GAS CAP. WE WERE TOLD TO GIVE IT A FEW DAYS FOR THE SYSTEM ON THE CAR TO RESET ITSELF. IT DIDN'T. SO TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THEY FOUND A SMALL LEAK AT THE ESIM MODULE THAT WAS REPLACED? TOLD US THEY WERE ORDERING A NEW GAS TANK AND WE COULD DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED. NOW I HEAR AIR ESCAPING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FROM THE GAS CAP AND IT WILL NOT ACCEPT FUEL WITHOUT BEING FORCED INTO THE GAS TANK.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN SAN JOSE, CA AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND A FLASHING RED ELECTRIC LIGHT ALSO. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER IN THE VEHICLES ENGINE AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE JEEP DIDN'T RESPOND AT ALL. WHEN GOING UP A HILL THE JEEP LOSES POWER AND I HAVE TO DOWNSHIFT IN TO LOWER GEARS JUST TO CLIMB THE SMALLEST HILLS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PARTS DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE SAID THAT MY SWILL VALUES ARE BAD. I FOUND EVIDENCE THAT THE ENGINES IN THIS 3.0L TURBO DIESEL HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN EUROPE DUE TO THIS DESIGN DEFECT. THE REPAIRS ARE $5500-$6000 AND THEIR ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED HERE IN THE USA? I AM A FULL TIME STUDENT WITH VERY LITTLE EXTRA INCOME. BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS A SMOG TEST. BASICALLY I HAVE A JEEP THAT IN A FEW MONTHS WILL BE NON OPERATIONAL WITH A $500 AN MONTH PAYMENT.

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.

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.
