Consumer Description
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.
