I LIVE IN MICHIGAN, WE HAD SNOW AND VERY COLD CONDITIONS LAST WEEK (JANUARY 31 2019), I WAS LOADING GROCERIES INTO THE BACK OF MY JEEP AT MY GROCERY STORE AND THE HATCH FAILED TO STAY OPEN. THE CORNER OF THE HATCH HIT ME IN THE HEAD WHEN IT CAME DOWN. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT AT THE TIME, BUT I HAD CRACKED MY HEAD OPEN AND NEEDED TO GET STAPLES TO CLOSE THE WOUND. I WASN'T SURE IF THE STRUTS OF THE HATCH WERE BAD OR IF IT WAS WEATHER RELATED, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN EVEN WORSE HAD IT HIT ME IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO START THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE KEY SEIZED IN THE IGNITION.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD AND ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AT ONCE-ABS, CHECK ENGINE, BATTERY, ETC. ALL MY LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER. MY HEAD LIGHTS BEGAN TO GET VERY DIMMED SO I TRIED SWITCHING MY FOG LIGHTS OR HIGH BEAMS ON BUT THAT ONLY MADE IT WORSE AND THE LIGHTS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN GOING VERY SLOW MAKING IT REALLY HARD TO SEE AS IT WAS RAINING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO A SIDE STREET. MY CAR FELT STRANGE WHILE DRIVING LIKE I WASNT ABLE TO ACCELERATE SO ONCE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE SOMEWHERE AND GET MY CAR IN PARK, ALL MY LIGHTS FLICKERED HEAVILY AND SHUT OFF 1 BY 1 AND THEN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER COMPLETELY. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED BACK HOME BC NOTHING WOULD START IT.

VEHICLE WILL START WITH NO PROBLEM, WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE LEFT TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE KEY WILL ONLY TURN TO THE LEFT TO CUT OFF ENGINE AND STOP, CANNOT CONTINUE TO TURN KEY ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT TO FINISH LETTING ENGINE RECOGNIZE THE VEHICLE IS IN THE PARK POSITION, CANNOT LEAVE KEY IN VEHICLE DO THE BATTERY WILL BECOME DEAD. HAVE TO KEEP CRANKING UP VEHICLE UNTIL THE KEY CONTINUES WILL TURN ALL THE WAY TO LEFT TO BE REMOVED....

VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF POWER, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS. TOOK TO DEALER AND LEFT FOR A WEEK FOR THEM TO TEST AND REPLICATE AND REPAIR. THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. EACH TIME, SO FAR, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP OUT OF TRAFFIC, BUT I FEAR THAT IT MAY HAPPEN IN A LESS FORTUNATE SETTING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD DOWN THE ROAD. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND A RED LIGHTING BOLT LIGHT ALSO COMES ON OVER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.
