Transfer case, suspension and ignition switch seems to be causing major issues after 105,000 miles and the "warranty" just ended just before all these issues started happening. When tried to start once the engine shuttered then turned off. Started up after that, but then it has issues wanting to accelerate and can feel the jeep struggling at times to switch gears or whatever the transfer case may assist in. Also have noticed the suspension has start to rock.

The dealer (brown's jeep chrysler dodge ram, 483 ny-112, east patchogue, ny 11772, (631) 289-8500) was unable to determine when the remedy and part would become available.

While waiting for the part, a failure progressed that caused the key not to turn over to start the vehicle. Also, the service engine warning indicator illuminated. The manufacturer had seven tsbs on the engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Riding down rode. Speedometer and lights failed. Took to dealership while the vehicle was at the shop the walked away to file paperwork and airbags deployed on the vehicle. It was the right side air curtain. The entire length of the unit. According to the dealership the car was sitting motionless on the garage floor.
Takata recall all the dash lights come on from battery,check engine,low tire pressure, code read 0411 & well not pick up speed.
2007 jeep 5.7l. Car stalls on acceleration from stops. Intermittent. Mostly when air is on. 80 degrees and up. Mostly after car has been driven, then parked a few minutes then then accelerated. So dangerous. Have replaced plugs and wires, oil, crankshaft position sensor,asd relay fuse. Now what? Spent now $ 2000 on fixes. Dealer can't solve it. I read others with same car have the same. Code b2185 is showing. Chrysler should be sued for knowing the cause and not fixing it due to the cost. I want to join the class action suit while I and my family are still alive!
This is the third time I receive a letter on the mail from jeep named as "important safety recall information" stating that my car has been recalled due to a defect relating to motor vehicle safety, more specifically: unintended change in ignition switch position that implies a safety risk. I went on the safecar.gov site to confirm the status of my recall and it says that there is a recall in effect on my car model but unfortunately jeep doesn't have the part replacement yet. I want this problem fixed asap.
Vehicle had an ignition switch recall (p41) which was replaced by dealer. After replacement part failed and vehicle was towed to dealer for repair march 4, 2017. Dealer informed me that the replaced ignition coil had failed and they would further repair as part of recall. Vehicle, 7 weeks later, is still not repaired. I have escalated my case from the dealership to jeep national and vehicle still not repaired with no update. I was informed during this process that my car is a "one-off", the replacement recall part that was intended for my vehicle does not work in my vehicle and that jeep is further researching how to repair. I am filing a complaint due to timeliness of repair. While recall repair has been free of charge, original part replacement took less than one day. Dealership has been evaluating recall part for seven weeks and still do not have any information of when vehicle will be repaired/returned. Jeep originally offered a loaner vehicle which I turned down as I was told repair would be only a couple of days. I have now requested several times for a comparable loaner vehicle while jeep is still evaluating the repair. Jeep will not provide a loaner vehicle and I am told it is because my car is no longer under warranty. While I understand warranties, jeep has my car because of failed recall replacement part and they will not put in original part due to recall. Jeep also closed out the recall on my vehicle. Please advise.

The original problem was a battery light that came on when the car was being driven during a light rain. The solution suggested by our normal mechanic (who is very good and has serviced the car for years) was to replace the alternator and then it was noted the battery was bad. It was replaced since it was three years old. After the repair the car started to die intermittently while being driven. The car was taken back to the mechanic who check the diagnostics and said it appeared to be pointing to the ignition switch (based on their diagnostic flowchart). The mechanics service technician was able to duplicate the stalling in the vehicle when he drove it. Suggested we take back to the dealer who had replaced the ignition switch tumblers during the recall for this vehicle last november. The dealer wanted a $85 diagnostic fee to just check the switch. We received a download of the diagnostic codes which appear to be related to multiple failures of ignition modules but the dealer reported his service technician had not been able to duplicate the failure. He thought it might be the tipm but was sure it was not the switch. He was unable to tell us what the failure was and said we would have to pay for more diagnostics if he was to find out what exactly it was. I took it back to my mechanic who replaced alternator. However, as I was driving the car last saturday it died after we stopped at a railroad crossing waiting on a train and then tried to cross the tracks after the arms had gone up. The crossing t-bones into another road and a very deep bar ditch at the side of that road. The crossing was a steep incline. Almost put car in ditch. My wife would not have been able to control and stop it as I barely was able to. After reviewing other similar complaints I now believe it is the tipm. This is safety related since all safety equipment is tied to this.
