THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 11/05/14 UPDATED 12/2/14*CN UPDATED 8/31/2017*CN

AS I WAS DRIVING ALONG, THE LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE TIRE ALERT LIGHT CAME ON WHICH INDICATED A FAILURE. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE, WHICH WAS GOOD (33 PSI). THE TIRE ALERT LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON AND OFF. THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER. ENGINE WOULD START. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO BE INTERMITTENT UNTIL IT STOPPED COMPLETELY. HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING. LIGHTS FLICKERED THEN STOPPED. RADIO, CONTROL PANEL, GAUGES, DOORS, ETC. WERE AFFECTED. *TR

INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLASHING OFF AND ON AT LEAST SINCE 10/2012. ON A DAILY BASIS THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS HAVE CONTINUED TO FLASH ON AND OFF AGAIN CONSTANTLY. AS OF YESTERDAY (10/28/2014) BOTH THE EXTERIOR HEADLAMPS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED OFF AND ON AGAIN IN THE LATE EVENING LEAVING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DARK AS I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE. *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEB 2009 THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT APPROX MAY 2010. WHILE DRIVING ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WILL TURN ON AND OFF, ALL NEEDLES ON THE GAUGES (RPM, SPEED, ETC.) WILL GO UP AND DOWN UNCONTROLLABLY. THE HEAT OR AC WHICH EVER IS ON WILL GO ON AND OFF, ON AN OFF. THE ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL ALL STOP AND BE NORMAL AGAIN. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, ONLINE VIDEOS, AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE, THIS IS STRONGLY RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS: IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. I AM VERY CONCERNED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, I EXPRESSED THIS WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER, AND WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE RECALL, I FOUND OUT BY HEARING THIS ON THE NEWS AND COME TO FIND OUT MY VIN# WAS NEVER REGISTERED TO ME SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE CLOSED. SINCE THERE IS NO FIX IN PLACE, I WOULD LIKE A LOANER/RENTAL VEHICLE TO BE PROVIDED AS THE EXPENSE OF JEEP/CHRYSLER. I DON'T THINK THIS IS TO MUCH TO ASK IN RELATION TO MY LIFE, AND SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY. I AM IN A TRADE FOR A LIVING THAT REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE MY OWN VEHICLE TO COMPANY JOBSITES, ALL OVER MY STATE. *TR

INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON FRONT DOOR AND BACK DOOR IS BROKEN THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS OTHER THEN IT BEING CHEAP. I DO NOT UNDER STAND WHY NHTSA HAS LEFT THIS VERY BAD SAFETY PROBLEM GO FOR SO LONG . IT MAY LOOK AS THOUGH THEY ARE IN JEEPS POCKETS ITS OK FOR JEEP TO CHARGE 500 FOR A NEW PANEL RIGHT THE CONSUMER IS GETTING THE SHORT END OF IT HERE OR THERE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO PANIC AND HAVE A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE I CAN'T GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE BUT I'M JUST SAYING AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS BEEN GOING ON WELL BEFORE THE 2006 JEEP I HAVE AND OOOOOOOOOOOOO STILL NO HELP *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LATCH WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PARTS NEEDED WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED FURTHER INSPECTION TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED BY JEEP. CURRENTLY THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE CAR IS "OPERABLE" SO I CAN DRIVE IT UNTIL THE PART COMES IN, BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL CAUSES THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL AT ANY TIME.. YET THEY CONSIDER THIS OPERABLE. TODAY MY CAR STALLED DUE TO THIS RECALL AND I CAME VERY CLOSE TO ROLLING INTO ANOTHER CAR. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL NOT OFFER A RENTAL BECAUSE THE CAR STILL TURNS ON. I FEEL THIS IS INEXCUSABLE AND UNSAFE BECAUSE I AM OUT DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT CAN STALL ON ANY POINT IN TIME. (I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO MY LIFE.) I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING A RENTAL IN THIS SITUATION. *TR
