HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS JEEP. PURCHASED IT AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER FOR SERVICE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT. MAIN ISSUE IS THE CAR DOES NOT START WHEN I TURN THE KEY FOB. HAVE GOT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, ONCE IN MAY 2014, AGAIN IN JULY 2014 AND AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2014. DEALER CANNOT FIND SOLUTION TO FIX. COINCIDENTALLY, I RECEIVE A NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER IN NOVEMBER 2014, NOTICE NUMBER P57 WHICH STATES THERE IS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION! I WENT FOR (3) WEEKS IN MAY AND A FULL MONTH IN JULY WITH A LOANER! FOUR MONTHS AFTER I RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE, THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. MY ''AD HOC'' SOLUTION WHEN CAR DOES NOT START IS TO SLAM THE DOOR WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION POSITION. THIS SEEMS TO START THE CAR. PITIFUL THAT THIS IS HOW I MUST START THE CAR NOW AS THERE SEEMS TO BE NOTHING ELSE I CAN DO... *TR

I HAVE BEEN PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE KEY POSITION AND IT SEEMS NORMAL IN THE ON POSITION AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE REASON BEHIND THIS ERRATIC STALL SITUATION. NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS HAVE BEEN NOTED HERE AND ON OTHER WEBSITES. I KEEP MY VEHICLE WELL MAINTAINED AND TUNED, IT RUNS GREAT.

MY JEEP TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 9 OR 10 TIMES. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND INFREQUENTLY. NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT IT IS DEFINITELY SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. ALSO THE KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION ONCE, THE CAR REMAINED RUNNING. *TR

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.
