ON THIS FIRST OCCURRENCE, AND NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN. SOMETIMES WHILE SITTING MOTIONLESS (E.G. AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT) BUT ALSO AT TIMES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD. IT HAS OCCURRED AT TIMES WHERE GREAT DANGER WAS EMINENT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED DURING THE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FLOW, WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND WHEN TRYING TO CROSS TRAIN TRACKS AND THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE SURVIVED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. I NEED THIS REPAIRED ASAP! *TR

WHEN TURNING OFF THE JEEP THE KEY WON'T RELEASE FOR SOMETIMES 10 MIN UP TO NOT AT ALL AND I MUST DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING 9 MONTHS, WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER THEY CHARGED ME ABOUT $200.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT TOLD US NOTHING, SO I PAID TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG BUT OFFERED TO SELL ME PARTS THAT THEY THOUGHT MIGHT HELP BUT NO GUARANTEE. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM OR IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THEY SAID NO. ABOUT OCTOBER I GOT THE RECALL IN THE MAIL SAYING WHEN THE HAD THE PARTS THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. TODAY AFTER BEING STRANDED FOR THE THIRD TIME WITH A DEAD BATTERY I CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF PARTS ARE IN TO DO THE REPAIR, THEY SAID NO HAD NO IDEA OF WHEN THEY WILL BE. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE MEDICAL ISSUES THAT HAVE PUT ME I THE HOSPITAL 3 TIMES, I NEED RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. CHRYSLER REP SAID THE WILL NOT SUPPLY A RENTAL OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE WHILE THEY FIGURE THIS OUT. WHAT AM I TO DO. *JS
