REFERENCE: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V200000 WHILE DRIVING, IF THE VEHICLE GOES OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE KEY FOB MAY FALL OUT OF THE IGNITION MODULE. WHILE STATIONARY, THE KEY MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH (WIN MODULE) PRIOR TO PLACING THE SHIFTER IN PARK. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT AND COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

WHEN JEEP IS STARTED AFTER BEING PARKED. WONT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN AFTER KEY IS REMOVED. ALL OTHER ELECTRIC COMPONENTS TURN OFF EXCEPT FOR ENGINE. SAFETY RELEASE BUTTON WAS PUSHED TO GET JEEP OUT OF GEAR, BUT WHEN PUT BACK IN PARK, IT GETS STUCK AGAIN. IS THERE A RECALL ON IGNITION SWITCH OR MODULE SWITCH THATS CAUSING THIS?
