  THE UNIT WILL CUT OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE SITTING STOPPED. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK THE UNIT INTO THE C/D/J DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A FAULT CODE.

THEY REFUSED AND I ADVISED THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THEY HEARD ABOUT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY CALLED THE POLICE ON ME! JEEP....THE NEW NAME NEEDS TO BE "JOKE". *TR

• 12/29/2006· POWER TRAIN

  WE PURCHASED IN OCT. 2006,A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4, V6 WITH 5 SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION, VIN [XXX]. THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM RELATED TO THIS VEHICLE AND TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM: THE VEHICLE HAS NO HILL HOLDING CAPABILITIES. IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL, THE BRAKE MUST BE HELD ON WITH YOUR LEFT FOOT AND YOUR RIGHT FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUT THE VEHICLE DRIFTING BACKWARD. IN ALL THE AUTOMATIC VEHICLES THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE 1958, INCLUDING 1993 AND 1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES, NONE PF THEM WERE WITHOUT HILL HOLDING CAPABILITIES. THE FIRST TIME I STOPPED ON A HILL WITH THIS VEHICLE, I DRIFTED BACKWARDS AND ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME BEFORE I REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THIS TO ME IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND SOMETHING DAMILER CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ADDRESSING. IN EXPRESSING MY PROBLEM TO D.C. CUSTOMER SERVICE, I JUST GOT LIP SERVICE. THIS IS WHY I'M EXPRESSING MY PROBLEM TO YOU IN HOPE THAT A SOLUTION CAN BE FOUND. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

• 12/28/2005· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  RENTED 2006 JEEP CHEROKEE AT AIRPORT. DURING TWO STOPS AT INTERSECTIONS I REACHED TO SWITCH RADIO STATIONS AND ACCIDENTALLY AND LIGHTLY BRUSHED THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. THEY SWITCHED TO "ACC" AND THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. WHEN I SAY "LIGHTLY BRUSHED" I MEAN JUST THAT. I WASN'T EVEN AWARE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL THE SECOND INCIDENT. TWO THINGS APPEAR DEFECTIVE: THE PLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION AND THE FACT THAT JUST A LIGHT TOUCH TURNS THE KEY OFF. HAD I DONE THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY BEEN INOPERABLE AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. *NM

  P41 - CHRYSLER RECALL - FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE DETERIORATING NATURE OF THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT MY CLAIMS THAT THE VEHICLE I OWN IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE SAFETY-RECALL NOTICE IS NOW OVER 6 MONTHS OLD. CHRYSLER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY OF THE AFFECTED OWNERS A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO REIMBURSE THE AFFECTED OWNERS. AS PER YOUR WEBSITE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED A REASONABLY TIMELY SOLUTION WITHOUT COST TO OWNERS. SEE BELOW: ***-A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THE OWNER CAN DO IF THE OWNER IS UNABLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME AND WITHOUT CHARGE.*** (THIS WAS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM YOUR WEBSITE IE WHAT NEEDS TO BE ON A RECALL NOTICE) DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITHOUT HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED IS NOT AN OPTION, AS A LOSS OF BRAKES, STEERING AND EVEN AIRBAGS BEING UNRESPONSIVE AND WOULD RESULT IN MY INJURY OR DEATH. THE NOTICE SAYS SIMPLY TO REMOVE EXTRA KEYS FROM THE SWAB AND TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK. EXCELLENT PRECAUTIONS I AM SURE BUT MY PROBLEM CONTINUES TO ARISE NONETHELESS. DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND HAVING A LOSS OF POWER TO YOUR DASH, A LOSS OF BRAKES, AND POTENTIALLY NONWORKING AIRBAGS MAKE THIS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. I AM FLOORED AT THE FACT A MAJOR CORPORATION HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE, ONLY FOR 6 MONTHS TO HAVE PASSED WITH NO SOLUTION IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND JEEP BOTH SEVERAL TIMES TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE FIX, ALL TO RECEIVE NO WORD OR NOTICE OF WHEN THE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES IF I COULD HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED AND THEN HAVE CHRYSLER REIMBURSE ME, AND WAS DENIED. I AM HOPEFUL THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS AS CHRYSLER AND JEEP AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY. *TR

• 12/16/2019· STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ISSUE FOR YEARS NOW. AT ONE POINT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IT WAS REPLACED AT THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE IN THE LINK ATTACHED. UP UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO, I LIVED WITH IT. NOW THE ISSUE HAS TURNED DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ALSO AFFECTS THE ABILITY TO BRAKE AND TURN. WHEN THE BRAKES SEEMED COMPROMISED, I TOOK THE JEEP IN FOR REPAIR BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I PICKED IT UP LAST WEEK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP AND TODAY IT WAS THE POWER STEERING THAT WENT OUT ALONG WITH THE USUAL DASH PANEL FUNCTION GOING OUT. I REALIZE THAT THIS IS AN OLDER JEEP BUT IT SEEMS CHRYSLER SHOULD STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VEHICLE SAFETY. HTTPS://WWW.MCALL.COM/NEWS/WATCHDOG/MC-JEEP-CHEROKEE-DASHBOARD-SHUTOFF-IGNITION-RECALL-WATCHDOG-20141213-COLUMN.HTML THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES THE EXACT ISSUES I HAVE SEEN REPEATEDLY. NOW THAT THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ASSIST HAVE BOTH HAPPENED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS WHILE DRIVING (SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL), THIS JEEP IS TOO DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD.

AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME RANGING FROM HOURS TO A COUPLE DAYS, THE AFFECTED INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE WHOLE PROCESS STARTS OVER AGAIN WITHIN A FEW SECONDS TO MINUTES. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT THREW OFF TO MANY ERROR CODES TO TROUBLESHOOT. THE DEALER CLEARED THE CODES AND ASKED ME TO RETURN WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
