Affected:

Defect:
On certain sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks equipped with four-wheel drive (4x4), if moisture leaks into the front suspension upper ball joint, evacuation of the lubricant and corrosion of the joint may cause the joint to wear over an extended period of time. this could cause a clunking noise in the front suspension, which may not always be heard by the vehicle occupants.
Consequence:
Excessive wear in the upper ball joint may allow it to separate, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the front suspension upper ball joints. this safety improvement campaign began on december 21, 2004. owners can contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

Consequence:
A jammed open throttle could cause unintended acceleration of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash or increased stoping distances when braking.
Correction:

Affected:

Defect:
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with front bench seats only, if fluid is spilled from the floor mounted cup holder, an unused console power outlet connector located under the seat may become contaminated.
Consequence:

Correction:
Dealers will inspect the console wiring connector for corrosion, clean as required, and install a cap to prevent additional fluid from contaminating the connector free of charge. the recall began on october 30, 2006. owners may contact daimler chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

Component:
Power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:column shift
Manufactured:
06/30/2000 - 07/17/2002
Affected:
576,418
Defect:
On certain van and pickup trucks equipped with automatic transmissions, the ignition/park shift interlock system may become inoperative. this can allow the shifter to be moved out of the "park" position with the ignition key removed (or in the "lock" position). this can also allow the ignition key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the "park" position.
Consequence:
Either of these conditions could allow the vehicle to roll away causing a crash without warning.

Component:
Suspension:front:hub
Affected:

Consequence:
Improper seating of the wheel can result in excessive vibration, brake rotor noise, difficulty removing the wheel after installation and operation of the vehicle, and possibly wheel-end separation during vehicle operation. should wheel-end separation occur, the driver could loose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
