RECALL SENT IN OCTOBER 2014 AND AS OF TODAY FEBRUARY 12,2015 THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS STILL NOT BEEN SENT OUT TO THE DEALER AND THERE IS NO FUTURE DATE EVEN DISCUSSED. IF THIS IS A DANGER AND MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT IN FACT IF THE CAR IGNITION GOES OFF, IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, THEN THIS DELAY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. *TR
THIS VEHICLE HAS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH THAT HAS TURNED OFF MY DAUGHTER'S ENGINE A NUMBER OF TIMES WHILE SHE HAS BEEN DRIVING THE CAR. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL IN JULY OF LAST YEAR, BUT IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY PARTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. IN THAT THIS CAN NOT ONLY STOP THE ENGINE, BUT ALSO DISABLE THE POWER STEERING AND AIR BAGS, THIS IS A HAZARD FOR ANYONE DRIVING THE SUV. WHAT IS THE BOARD DOING TO PRESSURE CHRYSLER TO SPEED UP THE AVAILABILITY OF THE NECESSARY PARTS? *TR

I WAS NORTH BOUND ON 95 AND THE KEY TO THE VEHICLE WAS TAPPED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH AND LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND START THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, AND I FEAR FOR MY LIFE WHEN I AM BEHIND THE WHEEL.

WHILE SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN IN A LEFT TURN LANE, RIGHT KNEE CONTACTED THE IGNITION KEY CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN. I WAS ALREADY BRAKING, SO CAME TO STOP, WITHOUT INCIDENT, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. CHRYSLER SENT US A NOTIFICATION OF RECALL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY US WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. A SUBSEQUENT NOTIFICATION SUGGESTED POSITIONING THE SEAT SUCH THAT IT WOULD KEEP THE KNEE FROM CONTACTING THE KEY. THIS IS AN ABSURD SUGGESTION BY CHRYSLER. IF I DO WHAT THEIR SUGGESTION SAYS, I MUST DRIVE WITH MY ARMS ALMOST FULLY EXTENDED, WHICH THEN MEANS THAT THE DRIVER IS NOT OPTIMALLY POSITIONED FOR THE AIR BAG PROTECTION. I THINK THAT THE US DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION NEEDS TO CALL CHRYSLER OUT ON THIS AND GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED BEFORE SOME UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THEIR TEMP FIX SOLUTION. *TR

RECALL P 51 - FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH... REPORTED TO OWNERS, SEPTEMBER 2014... JEEP HAS NOT PROVIDED A FIX AND DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE... I CALLED JEEP THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER ON THE RECALL NOTICE AND THE VOICE SYSTEM PUTS YOU ON HOLD FOREVER (I FINALLY HUNG UP AFTER 1 HOUR)... IT'S OBVIOUS THAT JEEP DOESN'T WANT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM... YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM DO IT... THANKS...

HAD TRUCK FOR 800 MILES SINCE PURCHASE USED FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I AM 6'5" TALL. WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE IGNITION KEY (1.5" FROM MY KNEE) ACCIDENTALLY TURNED THE TRUCK OFF DUE TO CONTACT WITH MY KNEE. UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, MOST BRAKING, AND POSSIBLY AIRBAGS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. HOURS LATER I READ A STORY IN THE MOUNTAIN NEWS NEWSPAPER ABOUT A DRIVER LEAVING THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS SAME JEEP PROBLEM. THAT ACCIDENT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO AND THE VEHICLE AND TRAILER OVERTURNED ON HWY 18. I MENTIONED THIS ISSUE TO A FRIEND WHO HAD THE IDENTICAL 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND HE SAID THE KNEE/KEY ISSUES HAPPENED TO HIM "SEVERAL TIMES" BEFORE HE SOLD IT. HE IS 6'6" TALL. SECONDLY, ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE FALLING APART AND FAILING DUE TO BRITTLE PLASTIC. THEY BREAK WITH NO NOTICE AND WOULD PREVENT EMERGENCY EGRESS FROM THE VEHICLE. WHILE IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE, WITH THE IGNITION ACCIDENTALLY SHUT OFF THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ESSENTIALLY UNIVERSAL PROBLEM WITH THIS DOOR HANDLE DESIGN. *TR

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.
ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKING AND BREAKING AT THE BASE OF THE HANDLE. I CAN BARELY GET OUT OF MY JEEP OPENING FROM THE INSIDE, AND I HAVE TO GET OUT TO LET MY SON OUT AT SCHOOL. MY CHILDREN MUST WAIT FOR ME TO OPEN THEIR DOORS, AND IF I WERE TO GET INTO A COLLISION AND MY CAR ON FIRE, I WOULD IN NO WAY HAVE TIME TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN, GET OUT, THEN LET MY KIDS OUT BEFORE AN EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE AND OTHER FLUIDS ENGULFED MY VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, OR THE DRIVER HANDLE WOULD BE THE WORST, FOR IT IS MOST USED. THE DRIVER HANDLE WAS THE LAST TO BREAK, AND I'M NOT HAPPY FOR THE MONEY I'M SOON TO SPEND, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEARCH ONLINE AND FIND SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THE VERY SAME COMPLAINT. *TR

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO CHRYSLER'S RECALL OF IGNITION SWITCHES - P41. A NOTICE THAT A SAFETY RECALL WAS IN EFFECT WAS ANNOUNCED EARLY SUMMER OF 2014 AND SINCE THEN CHRYSLER KEEPS SAYING THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE. IT'S WELL OVER SIX MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER 3 TIMES AND THEY CANNOT PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. MY JEEP CONTINUES TO HAVE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS, WHILE I DRIVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN ON A DAILY BASIS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE DANGEROUS SWITCH PROBLEM AND YET HAS DONE NOTHING TO TIMELY REMEDY THE SITUATION AND MAKE THE PART AVAILABLE TO AFFECTED CONSUMERS. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE THAT THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T DO MORE TO PRESSURE AND FINE CHRYSLER FOR THE LACK OF URGENCY BEING PLACED ON THIS RECALL. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CHEROKEE SINCE EARLY 2007; MULTIPLE ISSUES INCLUDING THE CAR STALLING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON/OFF, ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF AND MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS IN GETTING THE CAR TO TURN ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MULTIPLE REPAIR SHOPS; BOTH DEALERSHIP AND LOCAL REPAIR SHOPS LOOKING FOR ANSWERS. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SAME DIAGNOSIS EACH TIME; THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IS FAULTY. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED (3) TIMES AND WORKS FOR A LITTLE LESS THAN A YEAR AND THEN THE PROBLEM RETURNS. I FIRST HEARD OF THE SAFETY RECALL - IGNITION SWITCH P41/NHTSA 14V-438 (AS I LATER LEARNED) FROM THE MEDIA. I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ON WHEN I COULD BRING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND TO CALL BACK WHEN I GET A LETTER SAYING THE PART IS AVAILABLE; THAT WAS ALMOST 6 MONTHS AGO. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL. THAT CAME ALMOST 3 MONTH AFTER THE RECALL WAS ON THE NEWS.YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND OFF AND MY CAR MOMENTARILY STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THESE ARE THE SAME ISSUES I'VE BEEN HAVING WHERE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND READING THE SYMPTOMS OF THIS IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM, I THINK THEY ARE RELATED. I CALLED CHRYSLER'S RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER TODAY AND WAS ON HOLD FOR 2 HOURS BEFORE I GAVE UP. THERE WAS NO WAY TO LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR CHRYS

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
