WAS DRIVING MY JEEP AT NIGHT WITH MY INFANT IN THE BACK SEAT, 55MPH. SUDDENLY ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD AND PARKING ASSISTANCE LIGHTS IN THE BACK ALL LITE UP. AT THE SAME TIME THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AS WELL. THEY CAME BACK ON ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN. I SWITCHED THE LIGHTS OUT OF AUTO. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE HEAD LAMPS DID NOT GO OUT, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH STILL FLASHED AND HEAT WENT OFF. IT RESUMED THE WHOLE WAY HOME BUT NEVER FULLY LOST POWER. IT STILL DOES THIS ON A DAILY BASIS, MULTIPLE TIMES. I FEEL AS IF IT'S GETTING WORSE BUT NO ONE CAN DIAGNOSE AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. CONSIDERING THE AIRBAG WARNING AND OTHERS(ALL OF THEM) LIGHT UP, I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND MY SONS. TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING IT SEEMED WORSE. EVEN TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE EFFECTED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. TODAY MY SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAGE... EVERYTHING ON MY DASHBOARD LITE UP AND MY METERS QUIT WORKING. IT ALL RESUMED AS NORMAL AFTER IT HAPPENED BUT IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES DURING A 10 MINUTE DRIVE. SOMETIMES BACK TO BACK TO BACK. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN I NOTICED MY TURN SIGNALS ALSO WENT OUT AT THAT TIME, WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE TURNING. HAPPENS NO MATTER IF STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

THIS IS REGARDING THE P-41 RECALL NOTICE FOR THE 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FEB. 2016 TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED AND I FIND THAT THE RECALL WORK HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN AS COMPLETE ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEBSITE ONCE I ENTERED THE VIN NUMBER AFTER BEING TOLD THE WORK WAS COMPLETED BY THE DEALER. IT STATES ON THE SAVECAR.GOV WEBSITE THAT PARTS TO FIX THE P-41 RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND SEEMS TO HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I AM WONDERING HOW DO I KNOW THAT THE DEALER REALLY DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM? THEY DID SOMETHING BECAUSE MY IGNITION IS NOT WORKING THE SAME AS IT WAS PRIOR TO MY TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER. IT IS A HARD TURN OF THE KEY, TO TURN ON AND OFF THE ENGINE. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND I OFTEN WONDER IF I WILL HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION ONCE THE VEHICLE IS OFF BECAUSE THE KEY ACTS AS IF STUCK. THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS WILL OPERATE SMOOTHER IN TIME. DESPITE THIS, I STILL WONDER IF THE RECALL WAS ACTUALLY FIXED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN AS COMPLETE ON THE WEBSITE AND THE PART HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE. I ESPECIALLY FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE THIS WAS MY HUSBAND'S VEHICLE AND HE DIED IN JUNE 2015. THE DEALER HAS ALWAYS MAINTAIN THIS VEHICLE AND THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT IS NO LONGER ACTIVE BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. IN ADDITION TO REGULAR DRIVING, I USE THE VEHICLE TO TOW A BOAT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE RECALL NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT OTHERS DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.
