NHTSA Complaint #11266057 — 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL INSIDE POWER - DASH LIGHTS & CONTROLS, A/C, ETC, WHETHER DRIVING OR JUST SITTING IDLING. UPON RESTART, IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. MOST TIMES IT WILL BE OK BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL NEED TO STOP. YOU LOSE ALL POWER WHEN IT HAPPENS. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A MAJOR ROAD, ALSO HAPPENED WHILE PULLING INTO MY EMPLOYER'S PARKING LOT. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AFTER A RECALL 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. MY HUNCH IS THAT IT IS STILL AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT IS NOT DETECTED WHEN TESTED ON A COMPUTER AS I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY WHY THE VEHICLE WAS DOING THIS.
