2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK DOWN AN INCLINE/HILL ON 9/2, THERE WAS TRAFFIC AHEAD, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE BREAKS LOCKED. I PULLED THE E-BREAK AND SWERVED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, LUCKILY WITHOUT ANY CRASH. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT HAD A TOW TRUCK TOW IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO VERIFIED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BREAKS, AND NOTIFIED ME OF THE RECALL P41 ON THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF AND POWER STEERING AND BREAKS TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NOT ONLY ARE THE PARTS NOT AVAILABLE BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE AND THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THIS AS THE PROBLEM WITHOUT REPLICATING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SO IT IS UNCLEAR TO ME WHY THE ISSUE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLICATED. I HAVE A BABY AND DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR, AS RECOMMENDED BY JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP, AND RISK ACCIDENT TO MYSELF OR OTHERS UNTIL THE PART IS IN AND FIXED. I CAN'T BELIEVE JEEP WOULD ASK ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOT ONLY KNOWING THERE IS A RISK BUT AN ACTUAL PROBLEM. I THINK IT'S FAIR THAT JEEP PROVIDE ME WITH A SAFE ALTERNATIVE FORM OF TRANSPORTATION IN THE MEANTIME.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE MY HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHT BEING TO FLASH UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT AND LEAVE IT TILL THE MORNING. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS BUT NO ONE HAS THE EXACT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.

THE IGNITION APPEARED TO DROP ALL GAUGES, BLOWER, WARNING LIGHTS, ETC. THE ENTIRE DASH WENT DEAD AND ALL CONTROLS WENT DEAD AS FAR AS GAUGES, INTERIOR LIGHTS, FAN MOTOR, ETC., ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO KEEP RUNNING. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE, AND WE HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A YEAR FOR JEEP TO GET THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE SWITCH. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE SWITCH WITH A NEW SWITCH MATCHING THE SAME PART NUMBER, BUT ALSO HAVE NOT SECURED REPLACEMENT SWITCHES. IT APPEARS THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SOURCE SWITCHES FOR CARS IN PRODUCTION THEY WISH TO SELL, JUST NOT THE ONES AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. PERHAPS IF SOMEONE HALTED SALES OF NEW CARS UNTIL THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS PROVIDED REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THOSE UNDER RECALL, WE WOULD HAVE BETTER PERFORMANCE ON RECALLS.

I WAS REVERSING AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE, WHEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, IT KILLED THE ENGINE AND COMPLETELY SHUT IT OFF. ALL ELECTRONICS REMAINED ON. I THEN REAPPLIED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED INTO PARK AND STARTED THE ENGINE UP AGAIN, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME AND NOT EVERY TIME AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE.
