Ignition switch not turning when attempting to crank vehicle. I had recently drove my vehicle. Prior to the incident my ignition switch made a louder noise when I attempted to turn over the vehicle. Now it's not working at all.
I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty whose ignition switch just failed. Had it towed and the ignition switch must be replaced (which is under warranty), but it entails also exchanging the steering column (which, is not under warranty). They are telling me that I have to pay $800. 00 to fix this my warranty which is still under effect that components not listed are not covered unless required as a direct result of the failure of a covered component. Having read complaint after complaint with Jeep liberties starting with year 2002 to present, it becomes obvious that this is a serious defect and it appears Jeep has done nothing to rectify this problem and is coercing people (even under warranty) to pay for this. The parts are not even immediately available. This has not been resolved yet, but I think it is serious to note the incident. Thank you.
The steering column inside where ignition switch is cracked,that what I was told the vehicle has 90000 miles on it but it was in a crash and now the insurance adjuster says it is normal wear. It will not start, and it shorted out the battery.
