I OWN A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, 6 CYL 4X4. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOSING POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS, USUALLY WHILE NEGOTIATING LEFT HAND CURVES. WHEN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATES RAPIDLY. DURING THE POWER LOSS, I CAN PUT THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN SEVERAL REAR END CRASHES DUE TO THIS ISSUE, AS IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES FOR RELATED ISSUES. ON 03/18/08 THE ABS WIRING HARNESS WAS RE-ROUTED BECAUSE IT WAS RUBBING ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. THE SHIFTER MODULE HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED TWICE, HOWEVER, THE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEM IS ONGOING. THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS 09/25/09 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO COMPUTER CODE FOR THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIX OR DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT RECREATE IT. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IT IS INEVITABLE THAT I WILL BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AS A RESULT OF THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN USELESS IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. I AM AT MY WITS END AND I AM GETTING NOWHERE WITH PAPA'S DODGE. *TR

NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE MOST DANGEROUS HAVE BEEN THE PRND LIGHTING UP AND VEHICLE NOT GOING OVER 1ST OR 2ND GEAR WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 7 TIMES NOW, 4 OF WHICH HAVE TRIED TO BE DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER WITHOUT SUCCESS, THEY JUST REPLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER TWICE. THE 3RD TIME I HAD TAKEN A PHOTO OF THIS AND GAVE IT TO THE DEALER WHEN THEY TOLD ME 'NOTHING WAS WRONG' ACCORDING TO THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. PHOTO PROVED OTHERWISE. ALSO THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT ITSELF OFF TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD. THE WINDOWS ALSO GET STUCK AND WILL NOT WORK. HAVE TO OPERATE ONE WINDOW TO MAKE THE OTHER ONE WORK. THE BATTERY FAILED AND 'TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" ERROR HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE AGENT SAID IT WAS A FALSE READOUT DUE TO BATTERY FAILURE BUT THEY DID FIX SOMETHING ON THE TRANSMISSION. I AM FILING FOR A SECOND LEMON LAW ARBITRATION HEARING IN FLORIDA. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE WITH THESE ISSUES. INCIDENT DATE ON THIS FORM IS ONLY THE LAST DATE OF OCCURRENCE SINCE ONLY ONE OPTION. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE FIRST PURCHASING THIS 'NEW' VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF, A CHILD CROSSED OVER THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. HE HELD THE GEAR SHIFT TO SUPPORT HIMSELF, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE SPED DOWN A HILL AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE CABLE WENT INTO THE SHIFTING GEAR, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT NOT THE GEAR SHIFT. THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE AUTO BODY SHOP. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE SOMEONE FROM CHRSYLER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

14V438000 · 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.

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.
