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.
