KEY IN IGNITION BUT CAN'T ROLL DOWN WINDOWS, USE BLINKERS, NO RADIO. BASICALLY NOTHING ELECTRICAL. FIRST NOTICED PROBLEM WHEN HEADLIGHT SEEMED LIKE IT HAD SHORT. REPLACED BULB AT $85. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND THERE ARE NO ANSWERS FORTHCOMING FOR A REPAIR DATE. DEALERSHIP HAS NO ANSWERS EITHER. I AM NOTING ALL CONTACTS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE.

I WAS ENTERING A ROUND ABOUT AND THE JEEP JUST QUIT. I HAD NO POWER. IT WAS AS IF SOMEONE SHUT THE KEY OFF. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS AUTO. THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG AND THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS VIN NUMBER.

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!
