WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (11/8/14) I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF! I HEARD A BEEPING SOUND AND NOTICED ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WERE OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN "DRIVE". I PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" & TURNED THE KEY IN THE "OFF" POSITION--WAITED A FEW MINUTES & STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. I HAD MY MOTHER WITH ME & TOLD HER ABOUT THE "RECALL" & THIS WAS IT...THE IGNITION SWITCH (RECALL P41). WE DECIDED TO GO HOME & WHEN I PULLED IN HER DRIVEWAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN...THE ENGINE JUST CUT OFF! I'M VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY JEEP NOW...THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY!! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW!! THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION!! WHAT PROCEDURES DO YOU HAVE IN PLACE TO ASSIST PEOPLE UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART(S)? LIVES ARE AT STAKE!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN SQUIRREL AT APPROXIMATELY 5:40PM AND GOING AROUND 45-50MPH WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR JERKED AND COMPLETELY STALLED AND SHUT OFF. I LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY CAR AND I COULD NOT STEER TO GO ONTO THE GRASS. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND CAME TO A STOP AND RESTARTED MY CAR. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE SEPTEMBER 1ST. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUE SINCE SEPTEMBER 1ST. IT'S BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP ABOUT 10-15 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2,100 IN REPAIRS, FIXES, AND REPLACEMENTS. THIS ISSUE IS CLEARLY NOT FIXED AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THEY KEEP RELEASING ME A CAR THAT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS NOT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY HAVE RELEASED ME MY CAR. *TR

I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. I COULDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE SO IT HAD TO ROLL TO A STOP. AFTER, I COULD NOT RESTART IT. WE HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE. IT WAS TOWED TO DEALER. THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED ALONG WITH THE ENGINE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS THEN AND THEY'D CALL US WHEN IN. THEY NEVER DID. A YEAR GOES BY AND THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 2 WEEKS AGO. IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL, BUT THEY COULD NOT GET THE PARTS TO FIX IT. THE DEALER SAID THEN TO WRITE JEEP AND COMPLAIN. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE PRNDL LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS POWER RESUMED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD ITS ERROR CODE U0404 AND THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF IT HAPPENED DURING HIGH TRAFFIC TIMES IT COULD CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
