2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE IN DRIVE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, IN REVERSE OR IDLING AT A STOP. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER 2 YEARS - HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP; WAS NEVER TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH UNTIL I BROUGHT RECENTLY TO MIDAS FOR THE ABOVE ISSUES. THEY ADVISED THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH BEING FAULTY. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN OCCASIONS THAT THE ABS SEEMS TO ENGAGE WHILE IN DRIVE, TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN TURNING. UNKNOWN IF THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THE RECALLED PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE AS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 - IT IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE PARKED THE CAR WILL ROTATE BETWEEN NOT CRANKING TO STARTING BUT SHUTTING COMPLETELY OFF. IN ADDITION TO THESE ISSUES WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES STALL AND ENGINE WILL START TO LOSE POWER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO CUTTER DODGE IN HONOLULU FOR REPAIR ON 8/25. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A IGNITION SWITCH RECALL BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT AT THIS TIME. IN ADDITION, STATED THAT THE WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE(WCM) HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHILE THE CAR WAS THERE THEY ALSO PERFORMED A 28 POINT INSPECTION AND DIDN'T FIND ANY ADDITIONAL CONCERNS. NINE DAYS LATER THE WCM PART COME IN FROM CANADA AND WAS REPLACED. MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 9/2. THE CAR RAN AS INTENDED AT TIMES FOR 9 DAYS AND ON 9/12 THE NO CRANK, NO START ISSUE RETURNED. AS OF THE TIME OF THIS FORMAL COMPLAINT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. IN A CLOSING, THE ISSUES THE CAR WAS EXPERIENCING PRIOR TO TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OR EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUES THAT I'M EXPERIENCING TODAY. I WILL HAVE THE JEEP TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING SUNDAY MORNING.

AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE FROM MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER ON THE AFTERNOON OF THURSDAY AUG 27TH, WHERE IT HAD BEEN FOR A WEEK FOR SERVICE REPAIRS, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE REMOVAL OF THE CONSOLE TO REPAIR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD SHOWING AIR BAG DEACTIVATED WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION UNTIL THIS LAST FRIDAY SEPT. 4TH, AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING, AND THEY DID FIND A WIRE THAT WAS DISCONNECTED, BUT THERE WAS A SENSOR THAT HAD FAILED. THEY REFUSE TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY DID SOMETHING DURING THE EMERGENCY BREAK REPAIR PERIOD THAT DEACTIVATED THE AIR BAGS AND TOLD ME THE $480 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE SEAT SENSOR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS REPAIRED, I CANNOT SAFELY TRANSPORT A PASSENGER IN THAT FRONT SEAT, SO I HAVE AT THIS TIME NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THIS DEALER MAKE THAT REPAIR.
