WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT 50 MPH ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON INDICATING THAT THE ENGINE HAD TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BUT BOTH THOSE TIMES THE CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR TURNS ITSELF BACK ON. I AM VERY FEARFUL THAT THE CAR MAY TAKE LONGER TO TURN ITSELF BACK ON AND I WILL HAVE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. I HAVE NOTICE OF A P41/NHTSA 14V-438 RECALL BUT AM TOLD THE FIX IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. DUE TO THE LENGTH OF TIME I AM REQUESTING ANOTHER VEHICLE TO BE PROVIDED UNTIL MY CAR CAN BE FIXED AS I AM VERY FEARFUL OF A CRASH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT JUST SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND I HAD TO GUIDE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RESTART IT.THANKFULLY I WAS DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE I COULD DO THIS, IT DID THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES IN ONE OUTING, NOW ITS EVERY SO OFTEN. SO FAR IT HAS NOT DONE IT WHILE I'M OUT ON AN INTERSTATE BUT I TRY TO STAY CLOSE TO HOME TIL IT CAN BE FIXED. PLUS WHEN I HAVE ON MY LIGHTS MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF . THEN HERE RECENTLY THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND A FEW DAYS AGO IT STAYED ON AND HASN'T SHUT OFF. I'VE TALKED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL ITEM P41/ NHTSA 14V-438 AND I'M LIABLE FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE CONNECTED. I RECEIVED A LETTER ON THE RECALL A FEW MONTHS BACK BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK ON WHEN I CAN GET IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT STEPS I SHOULD TAKE TO GET THE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL SO I CAN ENJOY DRIVING MY VEHICLE AGAIN. THANKS AGAIN *TR

THE INTERIOR DRIVER DOOR PANEL IS BROKEN BY THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. IT STARTED AS A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC BY THE HANDLE. NOW THERE IS A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC BEHIND THE HANDLE. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE DOOR HANDLE HAS TO BE USED VERY CAREFULLY. THE WHOLE PANEL HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $900. I AM CONCERNED THAT IN AN EMERGENCY, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE BACK SEAT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS ALSO STARTING TO CRACK. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE JEEP. *TR

I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND CHRYSLER CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THIS PART FOR THE RECALL P41 WILL BE REPLACED. PLEASE NOTE NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED BUT I THINK ITS CRIMINAL THAT THEY CANNOT GIVE ME A TIME WHEN THIS WILL BE REPLACED!!! *TR

WHILE ROUNDING A CORNER HUSBANDS KNEE BUMPED INTO IGNITION SWITCH, CAR SHUT DOWN. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN SEPT. 2014 AND HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL JEEP DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, STILL NO PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE ARE FOLLOWING SUGGESTED HANDLING OF KEY FOB, ONLY THE KEY IN IGNITION. THE DANGER BECAME VERY PRESENT TO US LAST NIGHT AS WE HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHERE WE WERE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH. THIS WOULD HAVE HAD A VASTLY DIFFERENT OUTCOME GOING THAT FAST. HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE THIS FIX TAKES PLACE? WE DON'T WANT TO DIE!! HAD I BEEN DRIVING INSTEAD OF MY HUSBAND I WOULD HAVE SURELY PANICKED AND WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE WRITING YOU NOW. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET MOVING ON THIS BEFORE WE ENCOUNTER A DREADED ACCIDENT. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT 01/13/2015 OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, ALL LIGHTS FLICKERED, HVAC SYSTEM SHUT OFF, RADIO TURNED OFF, EVERY LIGHT ON DASH FLICKERED ON AND OFF. ON 01/14/2015 WHEN VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND ON CONTINUOUSLY, EACH TIME THE BLOWER ON HEATER STOPPED. LATER IN THE DAY, VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WHILE PARKED. ALL LIGHTS FLICKERED OFF AND ON, RADIO TURNED OFF AND ON, AND FUEL MONITOR READING WENT TO 7 MILES LEFT BEFORE NEEDING FUEL. VEHICLE HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW. LOSING ELECTRICAL POWER WHILE DRIVING IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. *TR

UPON DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT LEAVE 1ST GEAR. RPM'S WOULD ALMOST RED LINE, I WOULD LET OFF THE GAS TO LET IT SHIFT AND NOTHING, IT STAYED IN 1ST GEAR. WELL WHEN I LOOKED AT THE GAUGES, MY LIGHTS FOR PRNDL WERE ALL LIT UP INSTEAD OF JUST "D". BOXES AROUND EVERY SINGLE LETTER. I PROCEEDED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND STILL ALL 5 LETTERS LIT UP AND ENGINE BOGGED DOWN. IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES FOR WHAT LIKE SEEMED FOREVER FOR IT TO GET INTO GEAR WHICH WAS DRIVE, I BACKED UP TRAFFIC BECAUSE I COULDN'T DO THE SPEED LIMIT AND HAD TO USE MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS WAS MY FIRST OCCURRENCE, THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN OR MORE TIMES SINCE THEN TO INCLUDE YESTERDAY JAN 5 2015. EVERY TIME I CONTACT THE DEALER OR ASK ON JEEP OWNER WEBSITE, I GET " SORRY SIR THE ONLY RECALL LISTED IS THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WE DON'T HAVE A PART FOR THAT." I CHECKED THE WEBSITE AND APPARENTLY MY JEEP HAD BEEN SERVICED FOR THE TRANSMISSION BACK IN 2010 AT 70K MILES BUT DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHAT THEY DID. I ALSO NEED TO PUT IN ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. JUNE OF 2014 AND STILL TO THIS DAY THE GEAR SHIFT CAN BE MOVED FROM "P" TO ANY GEAR, AND THAT IS WHEN NO KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION. I WAS WORKING UNDER THE HOOD AND MY 4 YEAR OLD SON DID JUST THAT AND ALMOST RAN ME OVER. I CHECKED AND THE VEHICLE HAD NO KEYS IN IT THEY WERE WITH ME IN MY TOOL BOX BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO DO JUST THAT.

JUNE OF 2014 AND STILL TO THIS DAY THE GEAR SHIFT CAN BE MOVED FROM "P" TO ANY GEAR, AND THAT IS WHEN NO KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION/AND NO FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I WAS WORKING UNDER THE HOOD AND MY 4 YEAR OLD SON DID JUST THAT AND ALMOST RAN ME OVER. I CHECKED AND THE VEHICLE HAD NO KEYS IN IT THEY WERE WITH ME IN MY TOOL BOX BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO DO JUST THAT. I CHECKED OUT THE SITUATION TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T A FLUKE, AND TO MY SURPRISE AND STILL TIL THIS DAY, I CAN ENTER THE VEHICLE WITH NO KEYS AND NO FOOT ON THE BRAKE JUST REACH IN AND MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT FROM "P" TO ANY GEAR RESULTING IN THE CLUNK OF THE TRANSMISSION AND ROLLING OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY UNNERVING AND WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS ARTICLES AND BLOGS ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

THERE HAS BEEN MANY OCCASIONS UPWARDS OF 13 OR 14 TIMES WHERE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START. MY BATTERY HAS A FULL CHARGE, I HAVE FUEL IN THE TANK IT JUST WONT START. THE ONLY WAY AROUND THIS TO GET MY VEHICLE TO START IS TO DO A HARD RESET AND UNHOOK THE BATTERY CABLE FOR 30 SECONDS AND HOOK IT BACK UP THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL IT START. THEN IT WILL START THE NEXT 15 OR SO TIMES AND THEN I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IT WONT START. SAME DEAL, BATTERY IS GREAT, FUEL IN THE TANK, JUST WONT START.

WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP AROUND SAY ANYWHERE ABOVE 25 MPH, IF I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE FRONT END NOSE DIVES AND A LOUD CLUNK IS FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION FELL OUT. MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE, GAS HAS NO WATER, IT JUST DOES THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY. SO I HAVE TO DRIVE MY JEEP A CERTAIN WAY IN ORDER TO TRY TO AVOID THIS BEATING ON THE TRANSMISSION. ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS IS FOR EXAMPLE: I GO TO PASS A CAR I STEP ON THE GAS, THE TRANSMISSION KICKS DOWN LIKE IT SHOULD BUT WHEN I'M READY TO SLOW DOWN AFTER PASSING A LOUD CLUNK! AND THE VEHICLE NOSE DIVES AGAIN LIKE SOMEONE HAD PUT IT IN 1ST GEAR AT 50MPH. ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME AFTER THIS HAPPENS MY RPM'S WILL STAY VERY HIGH LIKE WHEN IT DROPS DOWN FOR PASSING IT WONT SHIFT DOWN FOR THE SPEED IM DOING IT WANTS TO STAY IN THE PASSING GEAR. THERE HAS BEEN EVEN TIMES WHEN ITS REALLY BAD, AND THE RPM'S WONT REGULATE DOWN I HAVE TO PULL OVER PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND START OVER. ITS VERY EXHAUSTING AND HAZARDOUS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND THIS JEEP. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS.

TOOK JEEP IN FOR RECALL COMPLETED SOME ODD MILES DOWN ROAD 4WD LOW WOULD NOT ENGAGE TOOK BACK TO DEALER AFTER INTERNET FINDINGS OF A BAD RECALL( THEY MAKE SOME BY PASS SOFTWARE INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY FIXING THE COMPUTER CHIP THAT CRACKS IN TRANSFER CASE) ANYWAY THEY RESET WORKED FOR A WEEK MAYBE AND AGAIN LOW DIDN'T WORK ANYMORE BACK TO DEALER THEY HAD NEW SOFTWARE JEEP WAS REFLASHED ON WAY HOME SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER THEY REFLASHED IT AGAIN N TOLD ME THEY'D HAVE TO CONTACT CHRYSLER IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN WENT OUT STARTED JEEP LIGHTS BACK ON AND BACK THRU THE DOOR INTO DEALER NOW I GOTTA WAIT FOR SOME STAR TECHNICIANS TO COME LOOK AT IT WHO NOS HOW LONG THAT'LL TAKE.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE WORK, A SEMI TRUCK WAS FRONT OF MY JEEP,IT WAS A STOP SIGN AND THE SEMI TRUCK WAS STOPPING AND I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO STOP, BUT MY JEEP DIDN'T SLOW DOWN.

MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A RECALL FROM JEEP CHRYSLER BUT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. MY KEY IGNITION WILL AND HAS SHUT OFF ALL BY IT SELF CAUSING ME TO LOOSE STEERING, BRAKES AND TOTAL CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AS I PURCHASED IT IN APRIL OF 2014 AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IF I KNEW OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION LIKE THE CHEVROLET VEHICLES. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND ONE HAND ON MY KEY/IGNITION TO DRIVE. I FEEL THIS IS NOT SAFE AND JEEP CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME TO STOP DRIVING THIS VEHICLE OR DRIVE SAFELY. HOW CAN I DRIVE SAFELY WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT IS CLEARLY A MAJOR ISSUE WITH ALL IGNITIONS ON SEVERAL YEARS OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S. JEEP TOLD ME I CANNOT GET A NEW IGNITION TILL I RECEIVE A SECOND MAIL LETTER TELLING ME THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE PUSH JEEP TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A GREAT DANGER TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE TO CAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE. *JS
