I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR FOR A PART THAT DOESN'T EXIST. IT HAS GOTTEN A LOT WORSE WITH THE HUMIDITY CHANGES AND EVERY TIME I START THE JEEP IT STICKS. I WAS TOLD TO CALL AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY WEEK TO SEE IF THE PART COMES IN. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE LIMITED TO HOW MANY THEY GET EACH WEEK. I AM BEYOND THIS BULL CRAP ON WAITING FOR A PART THAT'S JUST SO SIMPLE AS THEY CLAIM TO REPLACE.

WE CONTACTED WEST BROTHERS CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN SULLIVAN, MO IN FEB. 2015 DUE TO MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THE JEEP. THEY WERE AWARE THE JEEP WAS NOT RUNNING, WE WERE TOLD TO TOW IT TO DEALERSHIP ON FEB 26, 2015 AND THAT ALL PARTS WOULD BE THERE IN 2 TO 3 WEEKS, I AGREED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST IF THE JEEP STILL WOULD NOT START AFTER RECALL WAS COMPLETE. I WAS TOLD DIAGNOSTIC TEST COULD NOT BE DONE UNTIL AFTER THE P57 RECALL WAS COMPLETE. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF BEING TOLD PARTS WOULD BE IN I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM JOE BOULWARE ON JULY 23, 2015 STATING WE HAD ONE DAY TO MOVE THE JEEP OR IT WOULD BE TOWED. HE SAID HE HAD SPOKE WITH MY SON (THE PREVIOUS OWNER) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TELLING HIM TO MOVE JEEP. THIS WAS FALSE AS MY SON WAS INCARCERATED ALL THE DATES HE GAVE. WE MET WITH GENERAL MANAGER WHO SAID WE WERE NOT WELCOME TO DO BUSINESS THERE ANYMORE DUE TO MY HEALTH ISSUES AND ACCUSATIONS MADE BY JOE BOULWARE, THEY REFUSED TO DO RECALLS ON THIS JEEP OR ON ANOTHER CHRYSLER TRUCK I OWN THAT NEEDS A SAFETY RECALL DONE. IN OUR PRESENCE, BUT NOT ON SPEAKER PHONE THE GENERAL MANAGER TELEPHONED CHRYSLER TO INQUIRE WHEN P57 PART WOULD BE IN, HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF USING MY SONS NAME WHO IS IN THE MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS INSTEAD OF HIS OWN, HE TOLD US THE HELP LINE INFORMED HIM THEY HAD NO ESTIMATED DATE FOR PART TO BE RELEASED, WHEN I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER THEY FOUND RECORD OF HIS CALL ON 8-18-15 BUT INFORMATION WOULD HAVE BEEN FALSE AS PART BECAME AVAILABLE 8-14-15.

CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL FOR MY 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH P57/NHTSA 14V-567. THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AND THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATED OR ACTUAL DATE THIS PART WILL BE IN. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCOMMODATE THE CUSTOMERS WITH A LOANER VEHICLE. WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY CAR TROUBLES AFTER THE RECALL (WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE)? THE GOVERNMENT FINED CHRYSLER 70 MILLION DOLLARS AND WILL FINE ADDITIONAL MONIES IF THE VEHICLES ARE NOT REPAIRED. WHY AM I SUFFERING AND NOT BEING ACCOMMODATED WITH A WORKING VEHICLE WHEN THE BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY (CHRYSLER) HAS A MISHAP? MY EXPERIENCE: - WHEN VEHICLE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF IT ONLY GOES THE WAY, THE KEY FOB STICKS AND WILL NOT EXIT. THIS CAUSES THE RADIO CLOCK LIGHT AND THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL TO STAY LIT, WHICH IN TURN DRAINS THE BATTERY. (HAD TO PURCHASE A JUMP START KIT $70.00 + TAX) FOR WHEN THE BATTERY IS DEAD. -SINCE, THE KEY WILL NOT EXIT THE IGNITION I MUST LEAVE MY WORK AREA AT LEAST TWICE A DAY (SOMETIMES MORE) TO CHECK, IF THE KEY FOB WILL COME OUT. ONCE IT TOOK 11 HOURS BEFORE KEY WOULD EXIT, AFTER RUNNING THE ENGINE FOR OVER 3 HOURS. I AM IN JEOPARDY OF LOSING MY LIVELIHOOD IF THIS ISSUE CONTINUES FOR MUCH LONGER. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. THE RECALL STARTED NOVEMBER, 2014. HOW LONG WILL I SUFFER, BECAUSE I DONT HAVE MONEY TO PURCHASE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE AND WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS AFFECT THE MOST UNFORTUNATE INDIVIDUALS LIKE ME. -THERE IS A 90% CHANCE TH

MY 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STALLED OUT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I WAS STOPPING FOR TRAFFIC. SINCE THEN IT HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN; PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY; DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE ON. EVEN WHILE I WAS TRAILERING MY BOAT. I CAN RE-START THE JEEP BY QUICKLY PUTTING TRANS INTO NEUTRAL:TURNING THE IGNITION OFF THAN ENGAGING THE STARTER. IT WON'T RE-START UNLESS YOU TURN THE IGNITION OFF FIRST. I DON'T BELIEVE IT TO BE A KEY/IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT TO BE A COMPUTER CONTROL PROBLEM. WHEN MY JEEP STALLS; THE KEY IS IN ITS PROPER POSITION EVERY TIME.

I GET ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE AND IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I WAS HEADING OFF TO WORK AND IT WOULD NOT START WHATSOEVER. NO CLICKING, NO NOISE; NOTHING HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS THERE FOR A WEEK, AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO THE IGNITION RECALL FROM CHRYSLER. I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH CHRYSLER AS TO WHEN I CAN GET INFO ON THE PART. I GET NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. I HAVE WASTED SO MUCH TIME AND VACATION DAYS TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. I GET NOTHING. I HAVE TO PAY UPFRONT FOR MY RENTAL CAR WHICH CHRYSLER TELLS ME I CAN THEN APPLY FOR A REIMBURSEMENT THAT TAKES 60 DAYS TO GET BACK IF APPROVED. I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A DEAD CAR THAT HAS NO SOLUTION TO IT. IN THE MEANTIME, THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND I HAVE TO DEAL WITH CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. I AM STUCK AND OUT OF OPTIONS I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE FACT THAT I FULLY TRUSTED THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE BY MAKING THIS PURCHASE FOR MY FAMILY'S MAIN TRANSPORTATION. PLEASE IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO FURTHER DISCUSS MY SITUATION TO GET A BETTER RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYLER JEEP VEHICLE IN MY LIFETIME.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL LETTER RECEIVED BACK NOVEMBER 2014. CHRYSLER ADMITS TO A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH IGNITION SWITCH WITH THE FOBIK AND THEY ADMIT IN THEIR RECALL LETTER THAT AS RESULT OF THE PARTICULAR FOBIK FAILURE COULD "INCREASE THE RISK OF CRASH UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS." ALSO, THE LETTER STATES "FOBIK" SPRING BACK MAY ALSO CAUSE THE DISABLING OF ONE OR MORE OF THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDING THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS. THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF VEHICLE OCCUPANT INJURY DURING A CRASH." MY COMPLAINT IS THERE IS STILL NO PART AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND WONDERING WHAT I CAN DO? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? LOVE AND COMPASSION AND GRATITUDE.

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.
