This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee,
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.
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.
If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.
ROCK KRAWLER IS RECALLING 44 PERFORMANCE SUSPENSION SYSTEMS SOLD AS AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT FOR USE ON THE VEHICLE LISTED ABOVE. THESE SUSPENSION SYSTEMS WERE PRODUCED WITH GRADE 2 CARRIAGE BOLTS INSTEAD OF THE PROPER GRADE 5 CARRIAGE BOLTS. THE IMPROPER GRADE 2 CARRIAGE BOLTS COULD EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF CLAMPING FORCE FOR THE BOTTOM STRUT FORK.
THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF EFFECTIVE LIFT AND LOWERING OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLE, POSSIBLY CREATING THE DRIVER TO PANIC WHICH COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE SOFTWARE PROGRAMMED INTO THE ABS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE MAY ALLOW A MOMENTARY DELAY IN BRAKING WHEN COASTING UP A HILL DURING CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS IN A CERTAIN LOT MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED FROM GRAY IRON INSTEAD OF DUCTILE IRON AS DESIGNED AND COULD FRACTURE WITHOUT WARNING.
THIS WOULD INCREASE THE VEHICLE'S STOPPING DISTANCE AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE MAY CAUSE THE REAR BRAKES TO LOCK UP DURING CERTAIN BRAKING CONDITIONS.
THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
AT RANDOM TIMES, WHEN TRYING TO START THE JEEP IT WONT START AND SAY TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. AT FIRST IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN. I USED IT FOR A FEW MORE DAYS AND IT DID THE SAME THING. A COUPLE HOURS LATER IT STARTED BACK UP. AFTER A FEW MORE TIMES OF HAPPENING IVE NOTICED YOU CAN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND BACK IN PARK AND SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THEY HAD ANOTHER ONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NO FIX FOR IT.
OUR JEEP WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN WE NOTICED FLAMES AND SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DASH. THE JEEP WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES IN 5 MINUTES.
I HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH TWICE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALMOST A YEAR FOR A FIX. I CALLED TOM OBRIEN CHRYSLER JEEP AGAIN THIS WEEK. THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED ALONG TIME AGO!
WE PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ON FEB.10. IT HAS 2,000 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK, THE ENGINE "THREW A ROD" THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE REQUIRING A NEW ENGINE TO BE INSTALLED. IT WAS THE RESULT OF ROAD RAINWATER BEING TAKEN INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE AIR INTAKE. I AM HAVING TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE WATER ON THER ROAD WAS MINIMAL. I CONTINUE TO SEE JEEP ADVERTISEMENTS ON TELEVISION SHOWING THE JEEP COMMANDER DRIVING THRU WATER... THE CONSUMER NEEDS TO BE AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN THRU WATER...
