2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL FOR IGNITION SWITCH OVER A YEAR AGO. I BELIEVE MY CAR EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE ON NUMBEROUS OCCASSIONS, TO WHICH, PRIOR TO RECALL, JEEP "COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM" AND WOULD DO NOTHING TO RECONCILE MY SAFETY CONCERNS. I COULD NOT APPLY LEMON LAW. I CONTACTED JEEP DEALER, MYSTIC, CT AGAIN AFTER RECALL NOTICE AND THEY STATED THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TO BE CONTACTED BY JEEP TO REPAIR. MY JEEP WAS ON HIGHWAY MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED; ALL OF GAUGES WOULD DROP TO OFF POSITION, LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF--SOMEHOW IT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. UPON BRINGING IT TO DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, IT SOMEHOW STOPPED. THEN INCIDENT APPROXIMATELY 2.5 YEARS AGO-PARKING CAR IN LOT-EVERYTHING "LOCKED" INCLUDING STEERING AND BRAKING-ROLLED UNTIL CAR STOPPED ON ITS OWN-TOOK KEY OUT OF IGNITION-WAITED, RESTARTED AND CAR WAS FINE. DON'T HAVE EXACT DATES BUT MYSTIC CT JEEP HAS RECORD OF ALL TIMES CAR BROUGHT IN.

ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPS, ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD COME ON, UNABLE TO STEER PROPERLY AND CONTROL VEHICLE...BREAKING DOESN'T WORK WELL EITHER WHEN THIS HAPPENS..ON OCCASSION I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RE-START THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PARKED, WHILE IDLING IN TRAFFIC...I ONLY HAVE THE IGNITION KEY IN USE I DO NOT HAVE A HEAVY KEY CHAIN. EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON INTERSTATE!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING AND TELL ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE A/C, DASH, AND POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN. ADDITIONALLY, THIS CASUEA THE BRAKES TO LOCK UP. THIS IS A DIRECT ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION. WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE "ON" POSITION, THE VEHICLE ACTS AS IF IT WERE IN THE "OFF" POSITION. THIS ISSUE HAS PUT ME IN MULTIPLE SITUATIONS WHERE I FEARED AN ACCIDENT WAS IMMINENT. I CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHICH INFORMED ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I WAS ENCOURAGED TO CALL CHRYSLER'S MAIN OFFICE TO GET AN UPDATE. THEY ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE AND THAT THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL THE RECALL WAS AVAILABLE. THIS VEHICLE IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, SO THAT IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME. THE RECALL FOR THIS PART WAS ISSUED 9/3/14, IT IS NOW 6/9/15 AND THE RECALLED PART STILL CANNOT BE REPLACED.

I BOUGHT MY 06 JEEP IN MARCH OF 2015 AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT EVER SINCE. FIRST INCIDENT HAPPEND RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT CAR. PULLED IN TO MCDONALDS DRIVE THROUGH AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS LITE UP ALL OF THEM. SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. SAME THINGS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 OTHER TIMES WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK UP AND TRUCK WOULD SHUT OFF. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP AND THEN TRUCK DIED. TRUCK WILL APPEAR TO BE RACING AT TIMES WHEN I BARLY HIT GAS.I HAD MY 5 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHT WITH ME AND THE TRUCK SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING GOING ABOUT 45 MILES. I NEVER WAS SO SCARED IN MY LIFE. ALL I COULD IMAGE WAS ME AND MY PRECIOUS GRANDDAUGHTER DYING. I WAS SO SCARED, I COULD NOT DRIVE FOR A DAY OR TWO TO SETTLE MY NERVES. PLEASE HELP !!!!!. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO PAY FOR RENTALS TILL ISSUE IS FIXED OR HAVE TRUCKS REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. !!!!!!!

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE N23 WHICH SAID THAT I NEEDED TO CALL MY LOCAL JEEP CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CALL AT LEAST A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED THIS NOTICE ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I AM ON A WAITING LIST FOR THE PART. NOTHING CAN BE DONE UNTIL THEY GET THE PART. SINCE THEN, THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. LAST NIGHT, I ALMOST CRASHED AS I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING BECAUSE THE JEEP SEEMED TO LOST CONTROL AND DIED MOMENTARILY AS THE LIGHTS ON MY CONTROL PANEL WERE FLASHING. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ALL DUE TO THE KEY SWITCH BUT I HAVE NOW NOTICED THAT AS THE LIGHTS ARE ALL BLINDINGLY FLASHING THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR NEAR THE FRONT. I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO I HAVE NO IDEA AND I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO TAKE MY JEEP IN AND HAVE THEM "TRY" TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON AND THEN CHARGE ME FOR POSSIBLY FIGURING IT OUT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALMOST SEVEN MONTHS FOR PARTS THAT THE NOTICE SAYS "PLEASE HURRY!!! CALL THE EXPRESS SERVICE HOTLINE 1-866-849-3608 RIGHT NOW TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR". IS IT BECAUSE IT IS FREE REPAIR THAT THERE IS NO HURRY TO GET THIS FIXED? I HAVE A CHILD! I ALMOST WRECKED. IF ANYONE HAD BEEN AROUND ME OR I HAD BEEN IN A CURVE WHEN I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER AFTER THE CAR DIED, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR WE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE! I NEED HELP NOW!!! *TR

ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED FLASHING AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO SEE MY SPEEDOMETER, THE FAN WAS NOT BLOWING AND THIS CONTINUED UNTIL THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THE CHECK 4WD SYSTEM CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. THE CHECK 4WD SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE ALUMINUM PARTS THAT GET STUCK AND YOU CAN IGNORE IT. THAT IT WAS WORKING FINE. I RARELY USE MY 4WD SYSTEM AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF NORMALLY AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND NOW THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL IS HAPPENING ALL OF THE TIME. THE CHECK 4WD SYSTEM LIGHT HAS STAYED ON FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. *TR

ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND GAUGES SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND IT DID IT AGAIN THEN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I THEN RESTARTED MY CAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT IN 2013 WITH YOUR DEPARTMENT AND WITH CHRYSLER. I AGAIN TALKED TO CHRYSLER TODAY AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THERE'S NOTING THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT AT THIS TIME, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS CAN LEAD TO A BIGGER PROBLEM IF IT SHUTS DOWN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS RESOLVED? *TR

AUG 21 2014. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT WAS LEFT IN THE ON POSITION, WHICH DRAINED THE CAR BATTERY COMPLETELY. UPON RECHARGING THE BATTERY ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE DRIVERS CONSOLE WHERE ON, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. UPON TAKING IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN IN THE ONBOARD COMPUTER HAD BEEN CORRUPTED AS WELL AS SAYING THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT FUNCTIONAL UNTIL THIS HAD BEEN RESOLVED. DEC 5 2013. THE BATTERY HAD GONE BAD AND NEEDED BE REPLACED. ONCE A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE VIN IN THE ONBOARD COMPUTER BEING CORRUPTED. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE AIRBAGS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING. HAD TO TAKE THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED WITH THE CORRECT VIN. *TR
