The agency said it had received 32 complaints from Grand Cherokee and Commander owners since 2004 alleging that the ignition had been easily bumped to the off position by the driver’s knee hitting the key. Chrysler said it knew of at least one crash and roughly 119 complaints from owners related to the switch problem. As with the General Motors ignition-switch recall, the airbag controllers can stay powered for only 150 milliseconds after the car shuts down, which means that if the engine dies, they won’t deploy.

 As it did with the minivans, Chrysler likely will install hardier detent rings inside the ignition switches to prevent the key from moving too readily, although it hasn’t specified the exact repair in this case. Another 920,000 2002–2003 Jeep Liberty and 2002–2004 Grand Cherokee models are under NHTSA investigation for airbags that can accidentally deploy. Chrysler is also recalling 21,000 cars and trucks for shocks and struts that can “break free from their mounts” and cause a loss of control. The 2014 Ram 1500, 2015 Jeep Cherokee, and 2015 Chrysler 200 are affected, including about 14,300 in the U.S. Chrysler hasn’t set dates for customer notification or repairs.

The Fix: Chrysler doesn't currently have a fix for this recall, but says engineers are working on a solution.

Number of Vehicles Potentially Affected: 14,300 2014 Ram 1500, 2015 Jeep Cherokee, and 2015 Chrysler 200 models in the U.S., plus another 7460 in other countries. The ignition switch on your Jeep Grand Cherokee is the central control for all of the electrical components in your Jeep. It is located behind the key cylinder, in the steering column of your Jeep. If the switch is faulty, it will affect your engine, accessories and all of the electrical functions of your truck. The switch is a dealer item, so to replace it you will need to contact a Jeep dealer. Step 1Remove the lower cover from the steering column. Remove the three screws securing it in place using a Philips screwdriver. Step 2Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder. Rotate the slot in the ignition switch to the “ON” position. The slot is located on the back of the ignition switch. Position the slot so it is just beyond a 90-degree angle. Step 3Attach the two electrical connections to the back of the ignition switch. Verify that the locking tabs fully seat into the connections. Step 4Insert the switch into the steering column and secure it with the Torx head screw. Torque the screw to 26 inch-pounds using your torque wrench with a Torx bit. Step 5Reattach the lower cover to the steering column. Insert and tighten the three retaining screws to secure it into place, using a Philips head screwdriver. Step 6Test the ignition switch to be sure that it is functioning properly. Things You'll Need

Im not too familiar with auto parts or work but as im putting more money into "new parts" my car seems to slowly continue to fail. All I know is I relied on certain mechanics to improve the condition of my car. I had a operable vehicle until I drove into this auto shop and left having to tow it out. I simply asked to change front brake pads, roters, and ignition switch (electrical part). Im told to purchase other parts that include screws, steering column, and key locksmith/ fees. Nothing got resolved and electrical everything stops working. Jeeps front driver tire stays on a flat and to make matters worse a Chrysler dealership is the only place that can fix this. The mechanic spoke to the dealership and finally seemed to have it figured out. $50 was the price I was told I would be left with. After running test and diagnostics, prices changed and more work was needed. Its been a little over 2 months since ive been without. Now im told I need to pay in full $1500 before they will work on my vehicle. I havent been offered a rental muchless been satisfied with the work done. I feel like my car has been stripped of paid parts. Ive looked online for advice and help as what I should do but no action has been done. I would appreciate and greatly be thankful for someone to look into the safety and work performed to my Jeep. As for the recalls the service tech named off several that he stated were taken care of.
