OWNED THE 07 JEEP FOR 5 MONTHS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR 2 DIFFERENT INCIDENTS. THE 1ST INCIDENT(ACTUALLY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES) IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT DURING ACCELERATION AND IT WOULD FORCE ME TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF UNTIL IT WOULD RUN CORRECTLY. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP SERVICE THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION SENSOR,HAD THE PART REPLACED-NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. LESS THEN 3 WEEKS LATER, 2ND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING 55MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET OVER TO AN EXIT, THE VEHICLE THREW ITSELF BACK INTO 2ND GEAR AND I WAS FORCED TO GET OVER INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE SO AS NOT TO BE STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE JEEP HAD ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN TRAFFIC! CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF AFTER THAT. DEALERSHIP STATES THE GEAR RATIO AND VALVE COVER FORCED THE VEHICLE INTO 2ND GEAR. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, MOST OFTEN APPROACHING A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF LEAVING NO POWER SYSTEMS. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IN ONE CASE. VEHICLE STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY AFTER OCCURRENCE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO IS AWARE OF THIS OCCURRING WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR BUT STATES IT PROBABLY WILL BE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT TOWED FROM POINT OF OCCURRENCE. DEALER STATED THEY COULD TRY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BY DRIVING IT AROUND??? I TOLD HIM YOU MIGHT BE DRIVING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I DON'T WANT MY WIFE OPERATE THE CAR. AS A RETIRED STATE TROOPER I AM EXPERIENCED IN OPERATING VEHICLES UNDER HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS BUT DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL AND ISSUE OCCURS. IT IS JUST A MATER OF TIME UNTIL THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS BOTH BY NHTSA COMPLAINT AND DIFFERENT FORUMS. *TR

MY JEEP HAS EXPERIENCED THREE ELECTRICAL FAILURES WHICH HAVE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS APART. FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON THE BATTERY DIED OVERNIGHT EACH TIME. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY BUT SIX MONTHS LATER IT DRAINED TOO. I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY JUMP-START THE VEHICLE AFTER EACH INCIDENT. TRANSMISSION----I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DOWN-SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO A LOWER GEAR. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AT ABOUT 46000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS DEFECTIVE SHIFTER CONTROL. BEFORE I HAD IT REPAIRED (EST. $1000) IT BEGAN FUNCTIONING NORMALLY, THAT IS, UNTIL TODAY. I LEFT A PARKING LOT AND MERGED INTO TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET THE JEEP TO GO ANY FASTER THAN 28 MPH. IT SEEMED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN FIRST. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION THAT SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED BY THE CHRYSLER CORP. OR THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADM.. *TT

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

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.

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.
