I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND APOLOGIZED TO THE YOUNG LADY WHO HAD ALMOST HIT ME AND EXPLAINED TO HER THE SITUATION. SHE SAID, "YOU SHOULD REALLY GET THAT FIXED. YOU COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT."

BRI WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE VEHICLE CUT OFF I PULLED IN TO A PARKING SPACE IN FORT PAYNE ALABAMA TRY TO CRANK IT AGAIN IT WOULD NOT CRANK AND IT DONE IT BEFORE BUT IT WILL CRANK BACK UP FIRST TIME THEY SAID THE SOFTWARE SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT NOW THEY SAY IT'S THE KEY AND I CAN'T GET ONE BECAUSE IT'S ON BACKORDER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE A YEAR AND ITS BEEN IN THERE FOR 2 MONTH AND WE NEED A VEHICLE OR WE WON'T HAVE A JOB WE ARE HITCHING RIDES WITH PEOPLE

I HAD JUST PULLED ONTO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WHEN THE RPM'S STARTED RACING BUT THE JEEP DID NOT ACCELERATE IT INSTEAD LOSS ALL POWER. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND JUST THE JEEP OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND CALLED THE SERVICE GARAGE THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE SECURITY SYSTEM HAD SHUT DOWN THE JEEP. IT HAS SINCE DID THAT AT LEAST 10 MORE TIMES AND SO FAR EVERY TIME IT HAS BEEN AS SOON AS I PULL OUT, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I AM TRAVELLING AT 75 MPH AND IT LOSES POWER ON A CROWDED FREEWAY. I RECENTLY LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER. RECALL NUMBER 14V-438.AND I NO WAY BELIEVE THAT IT IS CAUSED BY MY KNEE HITTING THE IGNITION SWITCH, THAT IS NOT EVEN POSSIBLE.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING TO CHARLESTON, SC ON I-26 TO HAVE A NICE VALENTINE'S WEEKEND. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL WE MERGED ONTO I-26 IN COLUMBIA, SC, WHEN WE FELT A SMALL JOLT IN THE TRUCK LIKE IT WAS HESITATING OR SOMETHING. SO WE DISMISSED IT AS MAYBE BAD GAS OR SOMETHING. IT HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND AS WE WERE PASSING A REST AREA OUTSIDE OF ORANGEBURG, SC IN THE LEFT LANE GOING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 80 MPH, THE WHOLE TRUCK JUST SHUT DOWN. NO POWER STEERING AND THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK IN NEUTRAL. TRAFFIC IS PRETTY HEAVY ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND, AND I HAVE TRACTOR TRAILER BESIDE ME AND BEHIND ME ON A TWO LANE INTERSTATE. TRYING NOT TO PANIC, I PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAVING OUT THE WINDOW LIKE CRAZY TRYING TO GET THESE TRUCK DRIVER'S ATTENTION, THANK...

ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED BUT THIS TIME I DID NOT TOUCH THE KEY. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE INTO A TURN. THE VEHICLE HAD JUST BEGAN TO MOVE WHEN IT DIED. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETED THE TRIP. I AGAIN NOTIFIED CHRYSLER WHO DIRECTED ME TO HAVE THE SWITCH REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT P41/NHTSA 14V-438 RECALL BUT WAS NOT GIVEN A TIME FRAME AS TO WHEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICING.

NUMEROUS TIMES I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND MY CAR HAS LOST POWER AND I'VE HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE FOR MY CAR TO START ON THE FIRST TURN OF THE KEY. THE START GETS DRAGGED ON. SOMETIMES ALL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON WITH EVERY OTHER LIGHTS AS WELL. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE TO WAIT THEN START THE CAR AND IT WILL TURN ON. BESIDES THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING, NOW MY CAR WON'T TURN ON AT ALL. THE BATTERY IS FINE. RADIO AND EVERYTHING TURNS ON. BUT THE IGNITION WON'T CLICK OVER AND START MY CAR. SO, NOW I AM WITH NO CAR FOR WORK. I CALLED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS FOR MY CALLS RECALL BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE OUT OF THE PART THEY NEED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (11/8/14) I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF! I HEARD A BEEPING SOUND AND NOTICED ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WERE OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN "DRIVE".

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

WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE PRNDL LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS POWER RESUMED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD ITS ERROR CODE U0404 AND THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF IT HAPPENED DURING HIGH TRAFFIC TIMES IT COULD CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS THEN AND THEY'D CALL US WHEN IN. THEY NEVER DID. A YEAR GOES BY AND THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 2 WEEKS AGO. IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL, BUT THEY COULD NOT GET THE PARTS TO FIX IT. THE DEALER SAID THEN TO WRITE JEEP AND COMPLAIN. *TR
