MY JEEP WAS IN A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT AND THE FRONT END WAS TOTALLY BASHED IN AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS CAME OUT. THE JEEP IS A COMPLETE TOTAL AND THE AIR BAGS ARE STILL NOT DEPLOYED. HAVE YOU HAD ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS YEAR AND TYPE OF VEHICLE? IT WAS IN MOTION AND RAN INTO A HUGE AREA WITH SEVERAL LARGE SIGNS.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FIRST CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. AT ONE TIME I COULD ADJUST THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT NOW STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I SEE THAT THE 2004 MODEL HAS A RECALL, AND MINE WAS MANUFACTURED IN LATE 2004, BUT IS NOT ON THE RECALL VIN LIST. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS MAY MEAN THE AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL, BUT RATHER THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE 2005 MODEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS LOOKS LIKE A LONG STANDING PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS AND OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN THE 2005 MODEL.

Official recalls
3Jul 21, 2014
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, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

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.

ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L ENGINES AND NAG1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CONDENSATE WATER MAY ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. THIS CAN RESULT IN SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IT CAN LEAD TO INCREASED TRANSMISSION OPERATING TEMPERATURES, BOILING OF THE WATER, AND A SUBSEQUENT PURGING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION FOR LEAKAGE AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. IF NO LEAK IS DETECTED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR SHIELD WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF THE PRESENCE OF A LEAK IS DETECTED, THE VEHICLE WILL BE EVALUATED FOR SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER ENGAGEMENT. IF NO SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE TRIPLE FLUSHED, AND NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED.
