I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE & WAS GOING ABOUT 15-20MPH WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR TURNED OFF. NO WARNING, NO SPUTTERING, NO SYMBOLS FLASHING ON THE DASH, NOTHING. IT JUST SIMPLY DIED. I ONLY REALIZED MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN I HAPPENED TO LOOK AT MY DASHBOARD AND THE GAS GAGE WAS ON E AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND MILEAGE WERE NOT ON. I TRIED MY HARDEST TO STEER AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. I OPENED THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE BATTERY CABLES AND THEY WERE FINE. THE TRUCK STARTED UP AGAIN BUT THIS INCIDENT SCARED ME TO DEATH. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I AM A MOM OF 3. I CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME TO REMOVE SOME OF MY KEYS FROM MY KEY HOLDER AND IN HIS WORDS "THIS IS A BAND-AID FIX FOR NOW, THERE IS A RECALL FOR IGNITION PROBLEMS BUT IT WON'T BE ROLLING OUT UNTIL SEPTEMBER". WHAT?? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT SHOULD BE FIXED NOW.

ON DECEMBER 24, 2013, MY 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT IN BUFFALO AND THE IGNITION KEY WAS NOT WORKING. I WAS STRANDED IN THE COLD IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT. THE JEEP WAS TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALER. THE DEALER ORDERED THE PART AND FIXED THE CAR WITH A NEW PART TO FIX THE IGNITION PROBLEM. IN JANUARY 2015, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ABOUT IGNITION KEY AND MAILED THE CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT WITH THE PAID RECEIPT OF REPAIR PERFORMED ON 1/6/2014. I HAVE MAILED TWO LETTERS FOR REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT, BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE OR PAYMENT FROM JEEP CHRYSLER. THANK YOU.

BEGINNING IMMEDIATELY UPON PURCHASE, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN (APPARENTLY THE IGNITION KEY /SYSTEM FAILS) AND THE VEHICLE ENGINE STOOPS WITH SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF POWER TO BRAKES, STEERING, ETC. THIS EVENT HAPPENS REGULARLY AND HAS PLACED ME IN VERY DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND DURING INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TRAVEL AT RESPECTIVE SPEEDS. THE FREQUENCY IS TWO OR MORE TIMES PER WEEK, SOME TIMES PER DAY. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT I HAVE TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION.

ON OR ABOUT 19 NOV 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ON THE "IGNITION SWITCH" FOR MY 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND EDITION. THAT NOTICE NUMBER IS P57/NHTSA 14V-567. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO ASK ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF PARTS TO HAVE MY JEEP REPAIRED....ALL TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER SAYS THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE PARTS FROM CHRYSLER. TODAY IN THE MAIL I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE, THIS TIME FOR THE "FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE", RECALL NOTICE P73. AFTER ANOTHER UNSUCCESSFUL CALL TO THE DEALER, I DECIDED TO CALL THE FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES) US CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-853-1403 AND SEE WHAT CHRYSLER'S STORY WAS. AT FCA, I SPOKE WITH A VERY NICE AND LIKELY VERY YOUNG WOMAN NAMED STEPHANIE WHO INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE A SUBCONTRACTOR TO MAKE THE PART NEEDED TO MAKE THE REPAIR. SHE INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD BE PLACED ON THE "LIST" OF THOSE TO BE NOTIFIED BY EMAIL WHEN A PART BECAME AVAILABLE. THAT IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER AND I TOLD HER I WOULD BE CONTACTING THE NHTSA WITH MY COMPLAINT. NOW ON YOUR SITE, I SEE THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO HOLD HEARINGS ON RECALL REPAIR DELAYS BY CHRYSLER AND CLEARLY MY STORY FALLS WELL WITHIN THOSE PARAMETERS. LET'S SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO TO BREAK THROUGH THIS LOGJAM....THREATEN NOT TO LOAN THEM MONEY THE NEXT TIME THEY SCREW UP OR WHATEVER. THANKS.

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL DATED 11/10/14, NUMBER 957 NHTSA 14V-567. I WAS ADVISED THE PART REQUIRED WAS NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE LOOKED THIS RECALL UP ON YOUR WEBSITE AND THE STATUS STATES THAT NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE, SEVEN MONTHS LATER! ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE, THIS COULD "INCREASE THE RISK OF CRASH UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS", "THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF VEHICLE OCCUPANT INJURY DURING A CRASH". THEREFORE, APPARENTLY I, OCCUPANTS OF MY CAR, AND OTHERS ARE IN DANGER. I NEED TO REQUEST IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS LONG OVERDUE RECALL.

THIS SHALL SERVE TO INFORM YOU THAT I OWNER OF A JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO 2008 HAS FILED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES CONCERNING A RECALL WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO YEARS AND I AM STILLING FOR MY IGNITION SWITCH PART TO BE ORDERED. THE VEHICLE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS HAS PROVED TO BE UNSAFE BY STOPPING ABRUPTLY ON THE HIGHWAY BY LOSING POWER, PARKING LOTS BY FAILING TO START OR ON THE ROAD BY LOSING SPEED WHERE I COULD LITERALLY RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE. THIS IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM IN THE CAR WITH MY FAMILY ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY IGNITION SWITCH MAKES MY CAR LOSE POWER, NOT ONLY CAN I CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND HARM MY FAMILY AND I BUT OTHER VEHICLES WITH THEIR PASSENGERS TOO. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT MATTERS ARE BEING TAKEN TO FIND PARTS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. HOW LONG IS IT REASONABLE TO WAIT FOR RECALL PART TO BE ORDER AND FIXED FOR MY VEHICLE, UNTIL SOME TRAGIC ACCIDENT OCCURS? I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU, IF THERE IS EVER AN INCIDENT, NOT ONLY WILL I WILL FILE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES.

WHEN GOING ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR, SPECIFICALLY ON HIGHWAYS, AS SOON AS I HIT A LARGE BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE KEY "BUMPS" OUT OF THE ON POSITION AND INTO THE OFF POSITION. AS A RESULT, I LOOSE POWER STEERING, BRAKE ASSIST, LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND ALL OTHER POWER. I AM ABLE TO PUT MY 4 WAY FLASHERS ON AND STEER OFF THE ROAD, RESTART THE CAR, AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MOST RECENT WAS YESTERDAY WHEN GOING 70 ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE BEING TAILGATED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. WHEN THE KEY SLIPPED, I WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT BY THE TRACTOR TRAILER. THIS ISSUE IS A KNOWN RECALL; HOWEVER, WHEN REACHING OUT TO JEEP AND OTHER LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THEY ARE NOT OFFERING ANY SOLUTIONS TO REMEDY THE ISSUE IN THE MEANTIME. I WAS TOLD THAT IF I WANTED A RENTAL, IT WOULD BE OUT OF POCKET. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY KIDS AROUND OR COMMUTE TO MY JOB AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. JEEP DOES NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATED TIME OF WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE JEEP SHUT OFF. NO POWER AT ALL. WHEEL LOCKED AND WE ABOUT CRASHED. THOUGHT MAYBE THE IGNITION KICKED BACK. (RECALL). NOPE THERE WASN'T ANY POWER AT ALL AFTER TRYING TO RESTART THE JEEP. CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE WIN FAILING AND ARE AWARE OF THE TSB BUT REFUSE TO RECALL THE JEEPS BECAUSE THEY SAY IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE TO RECALL ALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THESE ISSUES. SO TO RECAP.... WE ALMOST CRASHED THE JEEP AT 55MPH WHICH WOULD HAVE KILLED MY WIFE, OUR YOUNG TWIN BOYS, AND MYSELF. BUT FOR CHRYSLER TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE. SO AFTER A $200 TOW BILL AND 2 HOURS IN -20 DEGREES IN AN OHIO WINTER WITH NO HEAT THE JEEP STILL WON'T START. AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH I'VE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE CHRYSLER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE VERY POOR AND ANY STATIC ELECTRICITY WILL SHORT THEM OUT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES A FAMILY MEMBER OR THEIR OWN LIFE. I WILL GLADLY SELL THIS VEHICLE BACK TO CHRYSLER FOR THE AMOUNT I PAID. I HAVE PAID 10K AND OWE 9K STILL. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING AT ALL!
