WHEN IT LOOSE ALL POWER I HAVE APPROX. 20 SECONDS TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. MY HUSBAND AND I FEEL LIKE IT MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE SOMEWHERE THAT NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR FOR A LONG TIME. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD NEED TO WAIT FOR A SECOND LETTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM THAT ALL THE RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE. I HAVE A SERVICE 4-WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT NOW. THE JEEP SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AT RANDOM TIMES. RIGHT AFTER IT IS STARTED AND DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THIS WAS A USED JEEP THAT I BOUGHT IN DEC. 2016. SHORTY AFTER I BOUGHT THE JEEP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING AN EMISSION CODE AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION QUIT WORKING. THE TRANSFER CONTROL QUIT WORKING AFTER THEY WORKED ON IT. I NO LONGER HAVE 4-WHEEL LOW OR CAN I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL. BUT IT SEEMS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE NO CONTROL ON IF OR WHEN IT WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL SO I GUESS AT THIS POINT I HAVE YARD ART. THE DEALER JUST WANTS TO THROW PARTS AT IT UNTIL ITS FIXED. THEY CLAIM THERE IS...

I HAD MY IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AS A RESULT OF RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 NEARLY A YEAR AGO. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME DASH LIGHTS FLASHING AND BLOWER NOT WORKING PROBLEM AS OTHERS WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. TODAY AFTER PARKING, I DEPRESSED THE KEY SWITCH TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF (THE NEWLY DESIGNED SWITCH MUST BE PRESSED IN FOR IT TO TURN) AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP AND BLOWER STOPPED. RELEASING THE SWITCH RETURNED THE DASH LIGHTS TO NORMAL. DEPRESSING THE KEY CAUSED THE LIGHTS TO TURN ON AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO REPEAT THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STOPPED. OBVIOUSLY THE NEW KEY SWITCH DESIGN IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE DASH LIGHT PROBLEM AS WELL. I WILL BE BRINGING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE KEY SWITCH REPLACED AGAIN.

I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS RECALL YEARS AGO. MY LIFE HAS CHANGED BECAUSE OF IT....

RANDOMLY, MY CAR WOULDN'T START AND I WOULD THINK THAT THE BATTERY WENT DEAD. THEN, ANOTHER JEEP OWNER TOLD ME TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND JIGGLE THE SHIFTER, AND THAT IT SHOULD WORK. THIS WORKED AND AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF UTILIZING THIS WORK AROUND, THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING IN BETWEEN GEARS AS I WAS DRIVING. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS FISHTAILING, HOWEVER I WOULD SEE THE AUTO-STEERING AND ABS LIGHTS POP UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS LOSING CONTROL. I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS WHOM WOULD CHECK THE STARTER, REALIGN, DO MORE RANDOM TESTING AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. AFTER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND HOURS SPENT TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE, I EVENTUALLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS INDEED A MAJOR ISSUE, HOWEVER THE PART NEEDED TO CORRECT IT WAS UNAVAILABLE...
