2006 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1083275
Internal NHTSA #	10607770
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2006
File date	01/09/13
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Chrysler issued a n23 recall notice due to cracking circuit boards in the transfer case actuator (vehicle may inadvertently shift in to neutral). Prior to the application of this recall my vehicle was capable of engaging 4lo. Afterwards (immediately afterwards in the dealership parking lot) the transfer case would not shift. Each attempt would result in a "service 4xd system" and would trigger a c140f trouble code. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge the recall flash to be the issue. From jeep forums i have found myself to be one of hundreds if not more that encountered this issue. This recall is in essence a software work-around for a hardware issue. This recall is obviously a cheap attempt at fixing a costly issue of replacing the defective actuators with new. As a consumer i expect the manufacturer to fix potentially dangerous issues (such as what n23 attempts to do). However, it is not acceptable in doing so to damage the vehicle further or render systems inoperable.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
