Consumer Description

IGNITION SWITCH ? I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY AND THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. THE ENGINE STOPPED, THE DASH PANEL FLICKERED, AND THEN I LOST ALL POWER. THE BRAKES STARTED LOSING PRESSURE AND MY SWAYBAR DISCONNECT BECAME DISCONNECTED. 1.5 SECONDS LATER THE JEEP CAME ALIVE AND I HAD ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP WITH WARNING BELLS LIKE YOU DO WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED 13 OR SO TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. IT'S CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER GETTING FIXED. WHILE I WAS THERE THIS MORNING THERE WERE 3 OTHERS WITH CHRYSLER GROUP VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE JEEP FORUMS ALSO HAVE SEVERAL POSTS ABOUT THIS. *TR
