Chrysler has recalled almost 800,000 Jeep SUVs. The recent development happened as a result of problems in the ignition switches.
There were reports that the problem in the ignition is causing the engine to get stalled.
The recall covers Grand Cherokees from 2005-07 and Commanders from 2006-07.
The exact figure of recalls is 792,300. However Chrysler’s representative has also stated that they are not sure how many more can be recalled.

In a statement released the Chrysler company has mentioned that some external force quiet possibly through the knee jerk can hit the switches which can result in shifting of the position. Ultimately it may result in shutting down the engine which is very dangerous.
Such things can also cause the air bags issue, which may not open or even if they do, they may not get inflated.
‘As of now no injuries were reported because of such problem,’ the company representative said.
They have also mentioned that their engineers have come up with a solution for this issue which will be implemented on the recalled Chrysler SUVs.
