I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE RECALLS P73 AND 41 FOR OVER A YEAR. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR A YEAR!!! I HAVE NOTIFIED JEEP NUMEROUS TIMES, AND YET THE PART HAS NOT BEEN PRODUCED. I HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH NO CAR FOR 1 YEAR. I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR UBER, TAXIS, RENTALS, BUSES, TRAINS, AND HAVE WALKED EVERYWHERE DUE TO THIS RECALL. IT HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY. JEEP HAS NOT ONCE COMPENSATED ME. EVERY TIME I CALL, THEY SAY NEXT MONTH. THIS HAD BEEN FOR ONE YEAR NOW! THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON 66, 395, AND 495 INTERSTATES. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR JEEP TO DO SOMETHING? I HAD ONE REP SAID WE'LL REIMBURSE ME, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO REIMBURSE ME, FOR A PART THAT'S NOT EVEN IN PRODUCTION. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE...

I HAVE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING TO GET THIS PROBLEM RENDERED. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH AND THE SLEW OF POSSIBLE FATAL CONSEQUENCES SHOULD ANYTHING OCCUR. THE RECALL NOTICE IS P41/NHTSA 14V-438, AND IVE BEEN TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A SECOND RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. WELL, IM STILL WAITING!!.

I WANT THIS FIXED. I CANT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND NEED THE ONE I HAVE. HOWEVER, AM I SUPPOSSED TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED FIRST? THEN WHAT,? A FAMILY MEMBER RECEIVES A CHECK? WHO...

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND IN MID MOTION THE CARS ENGINE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES SHUT OFF. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH THAT I WAS ABLE TO STOP MY CAR AND RESTART IT WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS. BUT I'M TERRIFIED THE NEXT TIME WILL I WON'T BE SO LUCKY.

MY JEEP HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING LOSS OF POWER AND RESTARTING WHILE DRIVING DOWN RT 80. ALMOST GOT MYSELF AND MY PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND KILLED WHEN IT JUST OFF AND RESTARTED, I CALLED THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING DUE TO LACK OF PART, WE ONLY HAVE ONE CAR AND THEY WOULD NOT GRANT ME A LOANER, THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ALL FLICKERED THEN CAR SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED INSTANTLY AND I'M SURE IT'S CAUSING OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I TOOK ALL THE KEY CHAINS OFF AN IT HAS HELPED, BUT IT'S BEEN DOING IT A LOT MORE LATELY AND IT'S VERY UNSAFE, WHEN WILL A PART BECOME VIABLE ?! THIS IS REDICOULUS AND CLEARLY CHRYSLER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR SAFTEY!

VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. RPM'S WILL DROP AND THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES RECOVER, OR STALL IN SOME CASES. INCIDENT OCCURS 1- 5 TIMES PER DAY.

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!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. ENGINE SHUT DOWN, ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKING, AND POWER SYSTEMS WERE LOST. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE ON. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. AFTER CALLING THE DEALER WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT AND IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE IT COULD BE FIXED. NO OFFER WAS MADE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A VEHICLE TO DRIVE WHILE THE ISSUE REMAINED OPEN. I AM NOT GOING TO ENDANGER MY LIFE, MY FAMILY'S LIVES, OR THE LIVES OF OTHER DRIVERS BY CONTINUING TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER SHOULD BE REQUIRED...

THE FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE APPROXIMATELY ON THE ABOVE DATE. AS MY DAUGHTER, FRIENDS AND I WERE PULLING ONTO THE ROAD, I BUMPED THE KEY WITH MY KNEE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, TURNED THE KEY, STARTED IT, AND CONTINUED ON. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE THEN, TWICE WITH MY DAUGHTER DRIVING. WE FOLLOWED THE RECALL POSTED BY CHRYSLER AND REMOVED EVERYTHING FROM THE KEY CHAIN, MOVED THE SEAT BACK, ETC. (THERE IS NO FIX OFFERED FOR THIS). THIS PAST SATURDAY NIGHT, 7/25/15, MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS RETURNING HOME FROM A FRIENDS HOUSE WHEN SHE SNEEZED AND AS SHE WAS RECOVERING AND RE-ADJUSTING, SHE BUMPED THE KEY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, EVERYTHING IS CUT OFF. LIGHTS, BRAKES, GAUGES, EVERYTHING. BEING DARK, SHE COULD NOT SEE, COULD BARELY STEER, BRAKE, ETC. AND WAS BASICALLY "ALONG...

I HAD MY VEHICLE VALET PARKED WITH A SINGLE KEY IN THE IGNITION. UPON RECEIVING MY CAR I GOT INTO THE DRIVE SEAT AND PROCEEDED TO PUSH MY SEAT FORWARD SINCE I HAD A PASSENGER BEHIND ME AND WAS PROVIDING EXTRA LEG ROOM. WE PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE PARKING AREA OF THE HOTEL AND AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 15 MPH I TURN TO ADJUST AND ITEM ON THE REAR FLOOR WHEN MY KNEE HIT THE KEY AND THE ENTIRE CAR WAS SWITCHED OFF. I HAD NO STEERING SINCE IT WAS IN LOCKED POSITION AND THE BRAKES WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE ENGINE WAS OFF. I AM JUST GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. WHY IS IT TAKING CHRYSLER (FIAT) ONE YEAR TO GET A FIX FOR THIS RECALL?

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL FREEWAY. HAD JUST MERGED ON AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. ONCE REACHING 65 MPH THE VEHICLE FELT LIKEN IT SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR. ONLY LASTED FOR A SECOND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. 1/3 MILE LATER IS HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW. HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY A TORQUE CONVERTER OR TRANSMISSION. THERE IS RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE FOR IGNITION ALSO. WHICH CHRYSLER HAS YET TO RESOLVE. HAVE THEY REALLY FIXED THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE? OR NOT? THIS VEHICLE APPARENTLY HAS CAUSED MANY PEOPLE PROBLEMS AND I MYSELF HAVE HAD TWO OF THESE EXACT JEEPS. BOTH HAVE BEEN COMPLETE CATASTROPHES. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY SCARY AND VERY UNSAFE FOR ANY DRIVER. I HAVE NO MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM NOR WILL THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER HELP...

THIS OCCURRED IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE DRIVING 25MPH. THANKFULLY NO OTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN WAS IN OUR PATH. THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY AND COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DEADLY. I AM COMPLETELY UNSATISFIED WITH CHRYSLERS RESPONSIVENESS TO THIS ISSUE. OUR JEEP IS MY WIFE'S PRIMARY VEHICLE AND DRIVES MY CHILDREN AROUND DAILY. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNFIT AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER PROMISED A SOLUTION BY THE END OF THE FIRST FISCAL QUARTER WHICH IS MONTHS PAST. WHEN WILL A SOLUTION BE AVAILABLE? I FELL CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE TO PROVIDE MY FAMILY WITH A...

I CALLED JEEP THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER ON THE RECALL NOTICE AND THE VOICE SYSTEM PUTS YOU ON HOLD FOREVER (I FINALLY HUNG UP AFTER 1 HOUR)...

SO FAR IT HAS NOT DONE IT WHILE I'M OUT ON AN INTERSTATE BUT I TRY TO STAY CLOSE TO HOME TIL IT CAN BE FIXED. PLUS WHEN I HAVE ON MY LIGHTS MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF .

WHILE ROUNDING A CORNER HUSBANDS KNEE BUMPED INTO IGNITION SWITCH, CAR SHUT DOWN. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN SEPT. 2014 AND HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL JEEP DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, STILL NO PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE ARE FOLLOWING SUGGESTED HANDLING OF KEY FOB, ONLY THE KEY IN IGNITION. THE DANGER BECAME VERY PRESENT TO US LAST NIGHT AS WE HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHERE WE WERE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH. THIS WOULD HAVE HAD A VASTLY DIFFERENT OUTCOME GOING THAT FAST. HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE THIS FIX TAKES PLACE? WE DON'T WANT TO DIE!! HAD I BEEN DRIVING INSTEAD OF MY HUSBAND I WOULD HAVE SURELY PANICKED AND WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE WRITING YOU NOW. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET MOVING ON THIS BEFORE WE ENCOUNTER A DREADED ACCIDENT. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN MANY OCCASIONS UPWARDS OF 13 OR 14 TIMES WHERE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START. MY BATTERY HAS A FULL CHARGE, I HAVE FUEL IN THE TANK IT JUST WONT START. THE ONLY WAY AROUND THIS TO GET MY VEHICLE TO START IS TO DO A HARD RESET AND UNHOOK THE BATTERY CABLE FOR 30 SECONDS AND HOOK IT BACK UP THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL IT START. THEN IT WILL START THE NEXT 15 OR SO TIMES AND THEN I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IT WONT START. SAME DEAL, BATTERY IS GREAT, FUEL IN THE TANK, JUST WONT START.

I "RECALL" DRIVING ONE EVENING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 05 GRAND CHEROKEE WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST ALL POWER. I WAS TRAVELING IN A CONGESTED AREA AT 65 MPH WITH LOTS OF SEMI'S SURROUNDING ME. THANK THE GOD'S I HAPPEN TO BE ON THE PERFECT INCLINE LEADING TO AN OFF RAMP AT THE TIME OF THIS ENGINE POWER FAILURE. I'D HATE TO IMAGINE THE OUT COME HAD I BEEN ONE LANE OVER A FEW SECONDS PRIOR! MY SON WHO WAS ONLY 5 AT THE TIME WAS A BIT FREAKED OUT FROM THE WHOLE ORDEAL. BUT MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THAT I'M A JEEP GIRL AND A FAITHFUL ONE BUT AFTER MY CONSTANT BATTLE WITH THIS LESS THEN DESIRABLE HUNK OF JUNK I'M THINKING OF CHEATING WITH A FORD! AFTER MY DAILY FAILURES WITH THIS THING I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE FAR...
