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

PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE KEY FOB NOT RELEASING WHEN TRYING TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND WILL STICK BETWEEN THE IGNITION AND AUXILIARY POSITIONS. I HAVE TO WAIT FOR 10-15 MINUTES OR DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLES IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE KEY FOB AND LOCK MY VEHICLE. NOW THE KEY FOB WILL MOVE TO THE AUXILIARY POSITION OR IN BETWEEN THE AUXILIARY AND ON POSITION WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. JEEP/CHRYSLER HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO HELP AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY JEEP WAS PRODUCED ONE MONTH AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE IGNITION RECALL AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I WENT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A "COMMON PROBLEM" BUT A MONTH LATER I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE IGNITION MODULE. NOW I HAVE A JEEP THAT I BELIEVE IS NOT SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO TRAVEL IN AND AM CONSTANTLY GETTING A RUN-AROUND FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED. *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.
