TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 9 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE. THE ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE POWERING DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE, OR IN USE. INJURIES WERE SUFFERED DUE TO THE AIRBAG'S NONE DEPLOYMENT. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND ATTEMPTING TO HAVE TWO RECALLS REPLACED, I WAS TOLD THERE PRESENTLY WAS NO AVAILABLE FIX, OR REPLACEMENT FOR RECALL P41. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN 2015 AT FITZPATRICK'S CHRYSLER JEEP (430 E MAIN STREET, ANSONIA, CT 06401 (203) 734-3318) FOR RECALLS P41(IGNITION SWITCH) & N23(POWERTRAIN TRANSFER CASE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). IN JANUARY OF 2012 WITH 37K ON THE VEHICLE THERE WAS THE FIRST OF TWO ACCIDENTS THAT RELATE TO RECALL P41. THIS ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO UNRESPONSIVE BRAKING AND STEERING, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY THE IGNITION SWITCH MOVING FROM THE ON POSITION TO THE OFF POSITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE, OR IN USE. THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE (RTE. 80 EAST HAVEN, CT) I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE. I USED BOTH FEET AND HANDS TO APPLY THE BREAKS, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY WRAPPING BOTH HANDS AROUND THE LOWER HALF OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND PULLING UPWARD WITH MY BICEPS TO APPLY ADDITIONAL DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TO THE BREAK PEDAL, BUT STILL I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND OUT POCKET COSTS FOR THIS ACCIDENT TOTAL OVER $7000 DOLLARS. THE SECOND ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN 2016. NOT REALIZING THE VEHICLE WAS OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP ON THE HIGHWAY (RTE.15 NO HAVEN, CT.), I HAD A COLLISION. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT SLAMMED MY FACE INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS DAZED AND CONFUSED, WONDERING, WHY HADN'T THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. AND, IN BOTH ACCIDENTS AIRBAGS WERE NEVER DEPLOYED. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

AFTER HAVIN MY IGNITION LOCK CYCLINDER REPLACED TODAY . TELLING ME THIS WOULD FIX THE ISSUE OF MY LOSS OF POWER AND LIGHTS ETC . IT HAS NOT I ALKOST RAN OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE I LOST ALL CONTROL OF POWER AND LIGHTS . NO POERR STEERING ETC NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE SOON BECAUSE I AM LOOKING IN TO GETTING A LAWYER I AM SICK OF THIS

THE FAULTY VALVE SEATS FAILED AND DESTROYED MY ENGINE WHICH LEFT ME STRANDED WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN. ENGINEERS KNOW THE DESIGN WAS FAULTY AS REVISION TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION WERE MADE IN 2008 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR THE NEWER MODELS. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE EARLIER MODELS TO HAVE THE REVISED SEATS INSTALLED. THIS IS NEGLIGENT AND WILL HURT THE CHRYSLER NAME IF NOT ADDRESSED SOON. I HAD JUST PULLED OF THE HIGHWAY TO REFUEL WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. THE JEEP WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER FILLING THE TANK.

MY IGNITION SWITCHED OFF DISABLING MOSTLY EVERYTHING ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS ALL WHILE DOING 75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. I LOVE JEEP BUT THEY TO GET THIS FIXED.

MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 2006 HAS ALL INTERIOR DOORS' HANDLES BRAKING TO THE POINT THERE ARE 2 DOORS ALREADY THAT WE CAN NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT ANYONE OPENING IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH KIDS AND FOR EVERYONE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WE ARE ALMOST GETTING TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE MADE OF SOME TYPE OF PLASTIC THAT ARE BRAKING BY THEMSELVES. WE NEED HELP IMMEDIATELY.

I WAS ADVISED BY LARRY H MILLER IN ALBUQUERQUE NM THAT MY RECALL WAS FIXED AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE WHY THE " SERVICE 4WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM" LIGHT WAS STILL ON EVEN THOUGH I HAD BEEN THERE 2 TIMES IN PAST AND ISSUE WAS SAID TO BE RESOLVED BY A SYSTEM UPDATE. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER I WAS TOLD IT WAS ABOUT 280$ THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED-

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DOORS FAILED TO OPEN FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), BUT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

BOTH FRONT SEATBELTS STOPPING ALLOWING THE BUCKLE TO BE LATCHED WITH INSERTING THE LATCH UNLESS I DEPRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT BEGAN ILLUMINATING AND CHIMING BUT THE BUCKLE WAS LATCHED. IF I MOVED THE LATCH WITHIN THE BUCKLE AT A CERTAIN ANGLE IT WOULD STOP BUT I'D HAVE TO HOLD IT THERE CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING OR HAVE THE PASSENGER DO THIS TASK. WHEN I AM STOPPED THE CHIMING STOPS BUT THE LIGHT STAY ON. THE CHIMING RESTARTS ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I LOOKED UP SEATBELT REPLACEMENTS AND THE DEALER CHARGES ABOUT $200 EACH FOR JUST THE BUCKLES. I WAS AMAZED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL AFTER RESEARCHING AND SEEING HUNDREDS OF POSTS JUST LIKE THIS ONE. HOW CAN THIS BE PETITIONED FOR A RECALL? DOES SOMEONE REALLY NEED TO BE KILLED BEFORE WE USE SOME COMMON SENSE HERE? PLEASE HELP. MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE $500 PLUS TO SPEND ON SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER FLAW. COMMON JEEP/CHRYSLER TIME TO STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING!! POSSIBLY FIRST AND LAST JEEP I BUY IF NO SOLUTION...
