I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 68MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THREE MINUTES LATER THE CAR INDICATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPEN (WHICH IT WAS NOT). ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE-CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH BECAUSE IT WAS SO LOUD. *TR

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 57,000-58,000 MILES IN 2011. TWO SEPARATE FRONT END COLLISONS AT ABOVE 35 MPH WITH DEER IN RURAL AREA. NO AIR BAG EVER DEPLOYED IN MAY 2014 WITH MILEAGE AT APPROXIMATELY 109,852 THE KEY WOULD LOCK IN THE IGNITION AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED. CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, DASH LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON AND SHIFTER COULD BE MOVED. TOOK TO MALOY FORD IN JASPER, ALABAMA. THEY "REPAIRED" USING A "WIN KIT - TRANSMITTERS AND WIN" IT HAS BEEN WORKING SINCE THAT TIME. QUESTION: IS THE IGNITION REPAIRED? IS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STILL IN NEED OF THE RECALL PART THAT WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE AT TIME OF NOTIFICATION OF RECALL? *TR

Official recalls
4Sep 17, 2014
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2008 Chrysler 300 vehicles manufactured May 31, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Dodge Magnum vehicles manufactured May 23, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Dodge Charger vehicles manufactured May 24, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured April 3, 2007, to May 12, 2008, and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured March 21, 2007, to May 12, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the ignition key (FOBIK) may not return to the "ON" position after being rotated to the "START" position, instead sticking between the two positions. Potentially, while the vehicle is being driven, the ignition may inadvertently move through the "RUN" position to the "ACCESSORY" or "OFF" ignition position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the ignition stays between "START" and "ON" positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. 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 and key FOBs, free of charge. The recall began August 19, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P57.
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.
