Consumer Description

I HAVE TRIED TO START MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES WITH JUST CONTINUOUS CRANKING. I CALLED TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE. YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT 55 MPH WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR AFTER DAYCARE- AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME!!!! VERY SCARY. I HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THE BRAKES AND CAR WERE NOT WORKING- JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AGAIN AND GOT TO A SAFE LOCATION. I THEN HAD IT TOWED. I DID SOME RESEARCH TO FIND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON THIS. ARE THEY INSANE?!!! WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IF THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY- THE PRICE TO FIX THE ISSUE IS $1300+. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SAFE FOR ME AND MY NEW BABY. NOW I HAVE TO DISH OUT $1300 BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX? THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE TIPM NOT PERFORMING ON THESE MODELS- PLEASE RESEARCH ALL THE FORUMS THAT TALK ABOUT THIS. THERE IS ALREADY LAWSUITS PENDING. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. I DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO FIX A CAR WITH 39000 MILES ON IT. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A JEEP OR CHRYSLER AGAIN. *TR
