WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE JEEP SHUT OFF. NO POWER AT ALL. WHEEL LOCKED AND WE ABOUT CRASHED. THOUGHT MAYBE THE IGNITION KICKED BACK. (RECALL). NOPE THERE WASN'T ANY POWER AT ALL AFTER TRYING TO RESTART THE JEEP. CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE WIN FAILING AND ARE AWARE OF THE TSB BUT REFUSE TO RECALL THE JEEPS BECAUSE THEY SAY IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE TO RECALL ALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THESE ISSUES. SO TO RECAP.... WE ALMOST CRASHED THE JEEP AT 55MPH WHICH WOULD HAVE KILLED MY WIFE, OUR YOUNG TWIN BOYS, AND MYSELF. BUT FOR CHRYSLER TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE. SO AFTER A $200 TOW BILL AND 2 HOURS IN -20 DEGREES IN AN OHIO WINTER WITH NO HEAT THE JEEP STILL WON'T START. AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH I'VE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE CHRYSLER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE VERY POOR AND ANY STATIC ELECTRICITY WILL SHORT THEM OUT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES A FAMILY MEMBER OR THEIR OWN LIFE. I WILL GLADLY SELL THIS VEHICLE BACK TO CHRYSLER FOR THE AMOUNT I PAID. I HAVE PAID 10K AND OWE 9K STILL. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING AT ALL!

VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE UNTIL PART IS FIXED. DEALER ORDERED A NEW PART AMC CHRYSLER CANCELLED PART WITH NO EXPLANATION. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RETURN PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS REGARDING THIS REPAIR. RECALL # P57
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.
