Consumer Description

WHEN IT STARTED MALFUNCTIONING, I WOULD BE JUST DRIVING AND MY JEEP WOULD JUST SHUT OFF, ENGINE, POWER, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON, AND STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT AS WELL AS BRAKING, AND NOW IT WON'T START. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING BUT THE IGNITION SWITCH ISN'T AVAILABLE YET, THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL AND NOW ITS CAUSING ME TO MISS WORK SINCE ITS MY ONLY VEHICLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS, THIS HAS TAKEN FAR TOO LONG TO FIX. PLEASE HELP! I NEED A LOANER!
