Ignition Switch Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee - part 2

While driving, the ignition switch goes into accessory and the engine shuts off. . Jeep has no power steering or power to control the vehicle. This scared the "h" out of my wife yesterday while driving in traffic across a bridge going to work. She was traveling aprox. 45 mph across a straight bridge. This same thing happened to mysely last year while on the PA turnpike in traffic. I put the flashers on and shifted into neutral and restarted the Jeep without much serious problems. But now a second time !!! I don't want anybody to get hurt because of this.

At times, the ignition switch turns off unexpectedly while driving. Also, when starting, the ignition switch will, at times, turn off, resulting in a failure to remain running.

I made an appointment at paulding Chrysler Jeep Dodge in dallas, GA on 5-17-16. This appointment was scheduled one week prior to 5-17-16 to replace the ignition switch (p41) and to update a computer system (p73). I was told that the ignition switch was in stock. I brought my vehicle in for the repair at 0830 on 5-17-16. I received a phone call @ 1300 from one of the service managers (nate) telling me that the part was not in stock to replace the ignition switch and I would have to bring it back in when the part was available. When I picked up my vehicle that afternoon I was told that the dealership would contact me and reschedule an appointment for the replacement of the ignition switch. Since then, I have not heard anything from the dealership and my vehicle has lost power 3 times after I picked up my vehicle. I was backing out of my driveway when the vehicle lost power the first time and twice sitting at a red light. I need this resolved right away. I am a home health rn and I drive all day seeing patients.

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. I have recently experiences two separate driving occasions where I've completely lost engine power and power steering assist; it's really scaring me and I don't feel safe in the vehicle, especially with two small children in tow as this is my family car.

Exterior headlights and interior dash lights flicker on and off speratically. This happens while driving, stopped and even when parked. I have to toggle the light switch on and off to try and stop the flicker or even to get the lights to come back on because sometimes the lights stay off even when the switch is in the on position. This is extremely scary when driving at night and I'm sure it irritates the heck out of anyone who see's my lights flickering. They think I'm signaling them for some reason. Really need a fix for this ASAP. Hope daimler/chrsler isn't waiting for death/accident toll before they fix this issue. I have already had the ignition switch replaced per the recent recall and the problem with the lights persists.

Problems with vehicle starting some days--other days won't start. No one can find the problem. Just completed the recall of the ignition switch but still have start problems.

Ignition switch p41/NHTSA 14v-438 recall Jeep will not repair or correct the recalled problem.

Ignition switch loose and can turn vehicle off without warning. Recall notice p41/NHTSA 14v-438 sent to me about 4 months ago and was told be dealership that Chrysler has no parts to repair. Just received another recall notice of same and dealership again stated they have no parts to repair this safety recall.

I received a safety recall notice from Chrysler (p41 / NHTSA 14v-438) in *July 2014 regarding my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I took my car into the dealer (stephen wade auto, saint george,utah) and was told the part was not available and they would contact me when they had news. I called stephen wade one year later in *July 2015*. They said the part was still not available and they would call me. Today ( oct. 13, 2015 ) I received another safety recall notice but this time it is from fiat Chrysler for exactly the same recall as I received July 2014. I decided to contact you / NHTSA. I don't want the utah highway patrol to be picking me up with a blotter on the interstate 15 when I go air born because someone can't supply a replacement ignition switch. This has definitely put a cramp on my ability to visit the grandson because he's 350 miles away and I'm really not pleased how this is being handled by ???? if you need copies / photos of my notices, please contact me and I'll gladly upload them to you. Should I contact a lawyer ? thank you for your time.

On multiple occasions, my vehicle has shown symptoms that appear to be related to the recent Chrysler ignition switch recall. One persisting problem is when I am driving with my headlights on, the interior lights (dashboard, radio, and climate control illumination) and all exterior lights (headlights, tail lights, and any other illuminated position lights) will rapidly flash on and off. Currently, my remedy for this problem, when it is happening, is to turn on the turning indicator which appears to return the lights to normal. More recently, while leaving my neighborhood, all of my dashboard warning lights illuminated and then the dashboard went dark all together. The remedy for this problem was to turn the car completely off and back on again. Last but not least, while traveling about 65 mph on a highway, my knee bumped the ignition key which switched the car to the accessory position, rendering the car powerless.

I am still waiting for Chrysler to preform the p41 recall work on my car. Chrysler was found criminally liable for this switch. The recall has been in place since July 2014. I get notices that the part is not available. So far three notices over the past year saying that they don't have a new switch available. Really??? it takes one year to design, manufacturer, and transport an ignition switch, does no one work in detroit. I have had the car not start because of the switch, and when I crank again it starts. I took to dealer for this problem in 2008. I was told that this was normal, the car's computer was re-setting so that I can start. Dealer has gone bankrupt since and closed. I am tired of excuses from Chrysler. When will they do their job and fix this problem. I want this done because my family rides in this car everyday. I am also concerned about the gas tank, because car has been rear-ended three times.

The abs controller failed. There are complaints all over the internet about people having the same issue. I believe it was burned out by the faulty ignition switch which powers it. The switch is already under recall.
