I had recall p41 updated to my 2006 jeep grand cherokee. after the recall update i was instructed by the dealership, i would need to push and turn the key to start/stop the ignition. this upgraded function has always been hard to get the key to turn. last week, while vehicle was parked at work 02jul19, it took me over 20 min. to get the key to turn by pushing and turning, to start the engine. the safety recall p41 is ineffective or installed incorrectly. my vehicle key turned fine before the recall and has not worked well since.

While i was driving in my local suburban neighborhood, after driving about 6 miles, my vehicle shuttered and the dashboard lights flicked on and off a few times and started beeping. i got really scared so i pulled over, turned the car on and off again, and that is when i noticed the check engine light was now on. i immedietely took it to my trustworthy mehanic and that it when he told me the code reader was giving an error code of u1411 ignition switch. i did my own research and discovered that my vehicle fits the description (year/make/model) of a recall that was done on jeeps 2006-2007 for faulty ignition switches.

All 4 interior door handles have cracked and broken the interior component (involving the handle mechanism). the rr handle is unusable and will need to be replaced immediately. the addition interior handles are cracked but remain usable at this time but will soon fail. the design of this model as well as similar jeep models is a common failure. this can be considered a potential safety failure if the handle completely fails and passengers unable to open the door resulting in injury or even death during an accident.
