I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE & WAS GOING ABOUT 15-20MPH WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR TURNED OFF. NO WARNING, NO SPUTTERING, NO SYMBOLS FLASHING ON THE DASH, NOTHING. IT JUST SIMPLY DIED. I ONLY REALIZED MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN I HAPPENED TO LOOK AT MY DASHBOARD AND THE GAS GAGE WAS ON E AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND MILEAGE WERE NOT ON. I TRIED MY HARDEST TO STEER AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. I OPENED THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE BATTERY CABLES AND THEY WERE FINE. THE TRUCK STARTED UP AGAIN BUT THIS INCIDENT SCARED ME TO DEATH. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I AM A MOM OF 3. I CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME TO REMOVE SOME OF MY KEYS FROM MY KEY HOLDER AND IN HIS WORDS "THIS IS A BAND-AID FIX FOR NOW, THERE IS A RECALL FOR IGNITION PROBLEMS BUT IT WON'T BE ROLLING OUT UNTIL SEPTEMBER". WHAT?? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT SHOULD BE FIXED NOW.

THE JEEP WAS TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALER. THE DEALER ORDERED THE PART AND FIXED THE CAR WITH A NEW PART TO FIX THE IGNITION PROBLEM. IN JANUARY 2015, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ABOUT IGNITION KEY AND MAILED THE CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT WITH THE PAID RECEIPT OF REPAIR PERFORMED ON 1/6/2014. I HAVE MAILED TWO LETTERS FOR REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT, BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE OR PAYMENT FROM JEEP CHRYSLER. THANK YOU.

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.
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, through March 9, 2010; and 2006-2010 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, through March 10, 2010. 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.
