Transfer case, suspension and ignition switch seems to be causing major issues after 105,000 miles and the "warranty" just ended just before all these issues started happening. When tried to start once the engine shuttered then turned off.

Also have noticed the suspension has start to rock.

This is the third time I receive a letter on the mail from Jeep named as "important safety recall information" stating that my car has been recalled due to a defect relating to motor vehicle safety, more specifically: unintended change in ignition switch position that implies a safety risk. I went on the safecar. Gov site to confirm the status of my recall and it says that there is a recall in effect on my car model but unfortunately Jeep doesn't have the part replacement yet. I want this problem fixed ASAP.

On several occasions, while coming to a stop the engine shut itself off for no reason. It then repeatedly tried to restart itself, even with the key in the "off" position. When this happens power steering is lost causing hard steering. The dealer performed the ignition switch recall claiming that would resolve the problem. This problem continued after the recall repair was performed.

For over a year now, I have been receiving notices about a Jeep safety recall and I have called several different states seeking the ignition switch and no one has it.

Fortunately there has not as yet been an incident. However, 8 months to repair an ignition switch is totally unacceptable and the manufacturer says that a remedy is not yet available.

I want to know when the NHTSA is going to do something about this recall.

The power came back on shortly, but had it not the vehicle (with locked wheels) would have slid off the road and into the ditch.

How long by law we have to wait for ???? if somebody replay will be greatly appreciate . Thanks stefano bolzonella.

There was no accident - I received a recall on my ignition switch several months ago - I keep checking and Chrysler doesn't have the part yet! I am not comfortable driving my 7 month old around in the vehicle but I have no other choice. Can anyone tell me when they will have the part in - I really want to get this fixed before something bad happens. I am very upset about how long this is taking. Called Chrysler today - they do not know when the part will be in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still!.

While driving my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I expereinced a random loss of dashboard lighting, gauges and heater. Have seen multiple post pertaining to exact same issue with many different solution suggestions. Common belief is that best solution is to replace ignition switch (ironically same issue that has been recently recalled by Chrysler, but not yet fixed via many dealership's services despite several notices that they are aware of the issue. ) seems very irresponsible for manufactorers /dealers service to allow this risky defect to continue to occur for years without a common formal resolution for dealerships to adhere to. Consumers are left to scramble as best they are comfortable with to resolve while some dealer service centers and mechanics take advantage of these people by overcharging them for fixes that don't resolve the true problem. Please push this issue to common resolution as many consumers seem to be bother literally and figuratively in the dark as to the correct direction!.
