WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AT RANDOM LOSING BRAKES, STEERING AND ENGINE POWER AS WELL AS OTHER COMFORT FEATURES. IT HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS, USUALLY YOU COULD JUST SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND RESTART THE CAR FIXING THE ISSUES. TODAY HOWEVER IT HAPPENED WILL SWITCHING LANES TO THE CENTER TURN LANE. UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES TO WAIT TO TURN LEFT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THEN ON THE SECOND DEPRESS IT WAS SUPER STIFF AND VERY LITTLE BRAKING FORCE APPLIED. THIS CAUSED THE JEEP TO REAR END THE 2 OTHER CARS WAITING TO TURN LEFT. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY EITHER.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 14V-438 RECALL DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 2014 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: P41 "SUMMARY: SOME JEEP COMMANDER AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE AN UNINTENDED CHANGE IN IGNITION SWITCH POSITION WHILE DRIVING. SAFETY RISK: THIS MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKING ASSIST INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND DISABLING ONE OR MORE OF THE VEHICLES SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDING THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS. REMEDY: CHRYSLER INTENDS TO REPAIR VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR). HOWEVER, THE PART REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO PROVIDE THE PART AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE ALL ELECTRICAL OTHER THAN THE POWER TRAIN FAILS, INCLUDING AIR-CONDITIONING. IF I JIGGLE MY IGNITION SWITCH EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON. IF THIS RECALL HAS SUCH A HIGH RISK LEVEL OF CRASH, INJURY, AND EVEN DEATH, WHY HASN'T JEEP COME UP WITH A REMEDY. I WORKED IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY COMBAT READINESS/SAFETY CENTER WHICH DEALS WITH ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND TRULY UNDERSTAND THE RISK OF INJURY OR EVEN DEATH THAT COMES WITH THIS POTENTIAL MATERIEL FAILURE. IF I WERE THE CEO FOR JEEP OR WORKED IN THEIR SAFETY DIVISION, I WOULD NOT PUT THIS OFF ANY LONGER. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE THE DISCOVERY OF THIS POTENTIAL MATERIEL FAILURE AND JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING. I RECOMMEND THAT JEEP IS PROACTIVE TO THIS FAILURE RATHER THAN REACTIVE.
