PURCHASED 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND 5.7 HEMI JULY 31, 2007. DECEMBER 1, 2010 MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. SHE MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT ANY MORE ISSUES. DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED P0884 CODE FROM THE PCM. HE COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. CAR CONTINUED TO STALL NUMEROUS TIMES AT HIGH SPEED AND SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIS PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER THE ENGINE SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED. AFTER NUMEROUS PARTS WERE CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP, WITH NO RESULTS, THE TECHNICIAN CONTACTED AN ENGINEER FROM THE CHRYSLER COMPANY. DURING AN ON SITE VISIT THE ENGINEER SUSPECTED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE UPPER ENGINE HARNESS RECEIVING AN ELECTRICAL INDUCTION FROM THE ENGINE COILS CAUSING THE PCM TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. THE TECHNICIAN INSTALLED FOIL AROUND THE HARNESS AND WIRE TIED THE HARNESS UP OFF THE CRADLES THEY LAY IN. ENGINE PERFORMED NORMAL WITH NO SHUT DOWNS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. DECISION WAS MADE TO CHANGE THE UPPER ENGINE HARNESS. SINCE THE HARNESS WAS CHANGED MY JEEP HAS STALLED OUT FOUR MORE TIMES. THE MOST RECENT STALL OCCURRED THE LAST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2012. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEED LIMITS AND YOUR CAR STALLS. CHRYSLER PLACES DRIVERS IN A SITUATION WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNCONTROLLABLE WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE WITH CARS BEHIND YOU. I STARTED AN ON LINE THREAD IN JEEP FORUM.COM CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/2007-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-OVERLAND-STALLING-PROBLEM-1147825/. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FOLKS HAVING THIS PROBLEM IN THE USA, CANADA, AND HAWAII. I THINK THAT AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED TO DISCOVER WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE AND COME UP WITH A POSITIVE REPAIR FOR CUSTOMERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STALLED. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, TURN THE IGNITION OFF AN BACK ON TO RESTART IT. THIS FIRST HAPPENED JUST AFTER THE 30 DAY WARRANTY WAS OVER, AS I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN MAY OF 2012. SINCE THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP ON DOZENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF OCCASIONS. THE SPARK PLUGS, EGR VALVE, IGNITION COIL, PCV VALVE AND MAP SENSOR HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO NO EFFECT. THERE ARE NO MEANINGFUL DIAGNOSTIC CODES STORED IN THE OBD-II SYSTEM. I FEEL THIS CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL STALL, CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, AND THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OUT OF HARM'S WAY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MANY OF THESE SAME VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. I CAN NO LONGER LET MY WIFE OR TEENAGE SON DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION. *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.

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.
