SINCE THE FIRST EVENT THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT THE MOST IMPORTUNED TIME. TWO YEARS AGO IT STALLED TWICE WHILE ENTERING THE NEW JERSEY GARDEN STATE PARKWAY ON THE SAME DAY. A YEAR AGO IT STALLED AT 40 MILES PER HOUR TRAVELING NORTH ON UNIVERSITY BLVD 100 FT FROM THE DEALER KELLY JEEP DEALERSHIP WERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I WAS MADE AWARE IN JULY 2014 THAT THERE WAS AN IGNITION KEY PROBLEM. BY A LOCAL AUTO BODY REPAIR SHOP OWNER. I REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM KEY EXCEPT A SMALL LIGHTWEIGHT IDENTIFICATION PLASTIC TAG A MONTH AGO IT STALLED AGAIN WHICH TURNING ONTO HIGH SPEED FOUR LANGE EXPRESSWAY. I HAVE CONTACT A DIFFERENT DEALER THREE MONTHS GO AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER IS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IN ALMOST A YEAR CHRYSLER STILL APPEARS TO HAVE NOT INKLING OF OWH TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT IN SEPT 2014 I HAD IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS REQUIRED TO HAVE VEHICLE TESTED BY THE ANALYZER. NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. EVEN THOUGH I AM 90 YEARS OLD I STILL HAVE SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A STOP AND IF POSSIBLE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO RESTART IT. BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IF THIS HAPPENS WITH MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING SHE WILL NOT BE HAVE SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO STEER OF BRAKE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT LOSSES COMPLETE POWER. HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE ACCIDENTLY OPERATION OF THE IGNITION KEY EVENT THAT HAS OCCURRED WITH GENERAL MOTOR PRODUCTS. LAST WE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING THE NEED TO RE-PROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE (FDCM), THAT MAY CAUSE THE SERVICE $WD LIGHT TO BE ACTIVATED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE GEARS. I DO NOT SEE THAT LISTED AS A RECALL AND I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY OTHER NOTICE. HIS APPARENTLY HAS A HIGHER PRIORITY AT CHRYSLER THAN THE IGNITION KEY ISSUE. REGARDS,

MY DAUGHTER WAS JUST DRIVING HER 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 70 FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS SHE LOST HEAD LIGHTS BRAKES ECT. THE CAR THEN TURNED BACK ON AUTOMATICALLY BEFORE SHE STOPPED AND THE ESP, ABS, BAC,TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND SEEMS TO BE S COMMON PROBLEM. IS THERE A RECALL? IF NOT SHOULDN'T THERE BE? MY HUSBAND ALREADY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH REGULATORABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF. THAT REPAIR SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE. THE SERPENTINE BELT IS ALSO SQUEAKING LIKE CRAZY. IT HAS BEEN. REPLACED TWICE. FIRST WITH AN INEXPENSIVE BELT THEN WITH A CERTIFIED BELT.
