AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE FROM MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER ON THE AFTERNOON OF THURSDAY AUG 27TH, WHERE IT HAD BEEN FOR A WEEK FOR SERVICE REPAIRS, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE REMOVAL OF THE CONSOLE TO REPAIR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD SHOWING AIR BAG DEACTIVATED WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION UNTIL THIS LAST FRIDAY SEPT. 4TH, AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING, AND THEY DID FIND A WIRE THAT WAS DISCONNECTED, BUT THERE WAS A SENSOR THAT HAD FAILED. THEY REFUSE TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY DID SOMETHING DURING THE EMERGENCY BREAK REPAIR PERIOD THAT DEACTIVATED THE AIR BAGS AND TOLD ME THE $480 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE SEAT SENSOR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS REPAIRED, I CANNOT SAFELY TRANSPORT A PASSENGER IN THAT FRONT SEAT, SO I HAVE AT THIS TIME NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THIS DEALER MAKE THAT REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE MY HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHT BEING TO FLASH UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT AND LEAVE IT TILL THE MORNING. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS BUT NO ONE HAS THE EXACT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.
THE IGNITION APPEARED TO DROP ALL GAUGES, BLOWER, WARNING LIGHTS, ETC. THE ENTIRE DASH WENT DEAD AND ALL CONTROLS WENT DEAD AS FAR AS GAUGES, INTERIOR LIGHTS, FAN MOTOR, ETC., ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO KEEP RUNNING. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE, AND WE HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A YEAR FOR JEEP TO GET THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE SWITCH. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE SWITCH WITH A NEW SWITCH MATCHING THE SAME PART NUMBER, BUT ALSO HAVE NOT SECURED REPLACEMENT SWITCHES. IT APPEARS THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SOURCE SWITCHES FOR CARS IN PRODUCTION THEY WISH TO SELL, JUST NOT THE ONES AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. PERHAPS IF SOMEONE HALTED SALES OF NEW CARS UNTIL THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS PROVIDED REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THOSE UNDER RECALL, WE WOULD HAVE BETTER PERFORMANCE ON RECALLS.

ALL FOUR OF MY DOOR PANELS HAVE CRACKED/DISINTEGRATED BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLE. AUGUST 1, THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE IS NOW NON FUNCTIONAL REQUIRING THE LOWERING OF THE WINDOW TO EXIT VEHICLE. THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IN A CRASH. DEALER STATES ALL DOOR PANELS MUST BE REPLACED AT PART COST OF $450 EACH (INSTALL EXTRA) - THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT GIVEN THAT ALL FOUR DOORS HAVE DONE THIS AND THERE ARE MANY INTERNET THREADS ABOUT THE ISSUE.
WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ALL MY DASH LIGHTS CAME ON THEN EVERYTHING WENT BLACK. MY SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER BOTH DROPPED TO 0 AND MY GAS GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN AND I DID NOT LOSE ANY POWER BUT THE ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO OFF AND ON AND THE GAUGES WILL DROP TO 0 OR EMPTY WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES SHEARED OFF. COMPLETELY CRACKED OFF AND DISINTEGRATED LIKE THERE WAS NEVER A DOOR HANDLE INSTALLED. IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE AND PROGRESSIVELY CONTINUED WITH THE LEFT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE, THEN THE FRONT PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THE ONLY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE THAT IS STILL INTACT IS THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IN THE SENSE THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR EVACUATION THE PASSENGERS HAVE NO WAY TO EVACUATE THE VEHICLE UNLESS OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS SAFETY HAZARD HAS YET TO BE RECOGNIZED BY JEEP AS OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED AS WELL. THERE ARE SEVERAL BLOGS POSTED ONLINE AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT AND WISH JEEP WOULD ACTION THIS SAFETY-RELATED CONCERN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
DRIVING ALONG AT NIGHT, WHEN SUDDENLY MY HEAD LIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES THEN SHUT OFF. HAVE TO THEN TURN ON AND OFF SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THEM BACK . THEN FEW MINUTES LATER THEY DO IT AGAIN, ALONG WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. I THINK ITS THE COMPUTOR ON BOARD THATS DEFECTED, AND JEEP DOESNT WANT TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM! I THINK THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED A.S.A.P.. IT IS SO UNSAFE, AND APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS OUT THERE WITH SAME PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING AND YOU HIT A BUMP DASH LIGHT FLASH,CAR SHUTS DOWN SOMETIMES I'VE TAKEN ALL KEYS,RINGS ECT.OFF BUT THAT DON'T HELP KEY STILL MOVES WHEN DRIVING, IN JUNE 2015 TOOK IT TO HAVE 2 RECALL ORDERS FIX WHICH WAS FLASH FINAL DRIVE MODULE AND THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER MODULE EVERY SENSE THEN CAR IS WORST OFF NOW,NOW TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS POP UP THAT NEVER POPED UP BEFORE THIS WAS DONE AT RAY LAETHEM. HAD TO BUY AND OLDER CAR CAUSE HALF THE TIME TO SCARED TO DRI THE JEEP I PAID 15,000 DOLLARS FOR I JUST WANT THIS JEEP TO RUN RIGHT AND SAFE OR BUY IT BACK I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE NEW IGNITION.
THE CHECK ENGINE (GAS CAP) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, STOPPED TO PUT GARAGE DOOR DOWN AND THE VEHICLE QUIT (WHILE IN REVERSE AND IT WAS IDLING). THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK BUT THEN QUIT AGAIN APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS LATER WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. WE TOOK IT INTO A DEALERSHIP IN NAMPA AND THEY STATED THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY THE VEHICLE QUIT. THEY INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM BUT PARTS TO FIX IT WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A REMOTE MOUNTAIN AREA AND IF THE VEHICLE QUITS, I WILL NOT HAVE POWER BRAKES OR POWER STEERING WHEN DRIVING ALONG THE RIVER ON A VERY CURVY, TREACHEROUS ROAD. I CANNOT AFFORD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE PARKED UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT AN APPARENTLY UNKNOWN DATE. CHRYSLER DID SUGGEST THAT I HAVE THE IGNITION REPLACED AND THEY MAY OR MAY NOT REIMBURSE ME. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE PARTS THEY CURRENTLY HAVE MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD SUGGEST? WHAT HAPPENS IF THE VEHICLE QUITS AND THERE IS AN ACCIDENT? IS CHRYSLER AND/OR THE DEALERSHIP LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY AND/OR DAMAGES? THANK YOU.

I HAVE A RECALL THAT SAYS THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN CHANGE POSITION WHILE I AM DRIVING CAUSING THE CAR TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN CAUSE A LOSS IN ENGINE POWER, POWERE STEERING, BRAKING ASSISTANCE AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF AIR BAGS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE INCIDENT THAT I DESCRIBE ABOVE OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE 85. I BELEIVE THAT WAS WHAT HAPPENED AS I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE RAOD TO AN EXIT. SAT FOR A WHILE TRYING TO FIQURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG FINALLY AFTER A WHILE THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND I GOT TO MY DESTINATION. AFTER READING THE ARTICLE AND LOOKING UP MY VIN NUMBER WHICH SHOWS THIS RECALL I BELEIVE THAT IS WHAT HAPPENDED. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN PENDING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND CHRYSLER STILL SAYS THEY DON'T HAV THE PARTS TO FIX IT.THE CHRYSLER RECALL # IS 14V-438.
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.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE HEATER AND RADIO STOPPED WORKING AND MY JEEP SEEMED TO BE STALLING OUT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ALMOST ON A DAILY BASES. I FIRST THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE NEW KEY I HAD MADE BUT THEN I CAME TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE STILL IS NOT A PART TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT JEEP DOES NOT THINK THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY JEEP VERY FAR AT ALL. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO ON ANY LONG TRIPS THIS SUMMER IN FACT I HAD TO STAY HOME ON MY VACATION AS THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AS I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS ONE AND NO ONE WILL EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING IT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT MY JEEP.
WHEN DRIVING MY TRANSMISSION WOULD BE STUCK IN A GEAR SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE ON CITY ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. THIS WOULD HAPPEN MOSTLY WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAD TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. IT WOULDN'T OR WOULD GO TO NEUTRAL SO I HAD TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION BACK AND FORTH FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE TO CATCH A GEAR. I READ ABOUT A RECALL BACK IN 2013 BUT CHRYSLER SAID IT DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE SO I PAID TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. SINCE CHRYSLER IS CURRENTLY HAVING RECALL PROBLEMS I'M CURIOUS TO FIND OUT IF THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WASN'T REPORTED.

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.
