ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN OCTOBER THAT SAID I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER ONE FOR A DEFECT THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED CONCERNING MY IGNITION SWITCH. I NEVER RECEIVED IT AND AM STILL WAITING SO THAT I MAY TAKE MY CAR IN AND HAVE IT REPAIRED. MY CAR HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SWITCHED OFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH GO ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. YOU SAY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS MATTER TAKEN CARE OF. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER AND HELP. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN WHICH I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY VEHICLE. THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH CAUSES EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD TO ILLUMINATE AND IT CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO STALL, AS WELL AS FLICKERING LIGHTS WITH NO POWER TO FUEL GAUGES, MPH, AND RPM NEEDLES. AFTER ALL THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND GO AWAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, AND THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH DRAINS MY BATTERY CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP START BY THE NEXT DAY. WITH A SLIGHT TAP ON THE KEY IT WILL MOVE SOME OR A BUMP IN THE ROAD WILL MAKE THE IGNITION SWITCH START ACTING UP AND MAKE SOME OF THE PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED SYMPTOMS ACT UP. OCCASIONALLY THERE ARE CLICKS THAT COME FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED, WHICH SIGNIFIES THAT THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH IS GOING TO FAIL SOON. I RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION FROM THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION ABOUT THE RECALL AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN IT, BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE SECOND NOTICE TO THIS DATE ABOUT WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I CALLED IN NOVEMBER TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE BUT I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. SO THIS LEAVES ME AT THE END OF THE ROAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. I CHECK ONLINE ALMOST ALL THE TIME FOR UPDATES AND STILL THE SAME THING. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS RECALL SINCE IT POPPED UP IN THE NEWS BEFORE I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE THAT THE KEY WILL MOVE INTO THE WRONG PLACES DISABLING MY CAR OR WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH ACTS UP IT WILL MAKE ME LOOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND IT COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR ME OR ANY OF MY PASSENGERS EVEN FATAL. SAFETY SHOULD BE CHRYSLERS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. AT THIS POINT I HOPE TO GET RID OF THIS CAR AND MOVE AWAY FROM CHRYSLER'S PRODUCTS FOR GOOD ESPECIALLY SINCE FIAT IS RUNNING THE SHOW! *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAN YOU TELL ME WHEN CHRYSLER WILL HAVE PARTS FOR MY VEHICLE THAT IS ON RECALL FOR IGNITION SWITCH. I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE THE RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR SOME TIME NOW AND WAITING FOR THEM TO NOTIFY ME WHEN I CAN HAVE IT REPAIRED. I WORRY ABOUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUING TO CUT OFF AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH THE STEERING LOCKING UP. I ENTER THE DATE ABOVE AS TODAY WHICH IS NOT THE RECALL DATE ONLY TO COMPLETE THIS FORM. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A SLIPPERY ROAD DURING A SNOWFALL, MY WIFE OBSERVED ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP SIMULTANEOUSLY. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND CONSEQUENTLY A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE SLIPPERY ROADWAY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE SLID INTO A HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE MARKER ALONG THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LICENSE PLATE HOLDER AND BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE. OUR CONCERN IS THAT THIS INCIDENT IS APPARENTLY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF A CURRENT RECALL (14V-438) ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER ON 9/3/14. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY FOR THIS DEFECT, CITING THE UNAVAILABILITY OF REPAIR PARTS, AND AS OF THIS MORNING THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO IDEA AS TO WHEN THESE REPAIR PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEANTIME, THE PHENOMENON OF THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS SUDDENLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY ILLUMINATING WHILE DRIVING CONTINUES TO RECUR RATHER FREQUENTLY, AND WE ARE AFRAID THAT A RECURRENCE OF THE ENGINE SHUTOFF AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKE ASSIST WILL ALSO RECUR, PERHAPS AT A TIME AND LOCATION WHERE A MUCH MORE SERIOUS CRASH WILL RESULT. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND AFTER ABOUT 1.5 HOURS OF CONTINUOUS HIGHWAY OPERATION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND BRAKE TO A STOP. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED THE KEY TO OFF, AND RE-STARTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THIS HAS HAPPENED ALMOST DAILY, ALWAYS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES WHILE ON A CURVE. THIS OCCURS DURING MY DAILY COMMUTE, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES, EACH WAY. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE WE MAY HAVE TO TURN THE KEY 40-50 TIMES TO ACTUALLY GET THE VEHICLE TO START! I HAVE BEEN TO DAVID STANLEY JEEP DEALER/SHOP IN NORMAN THIS MORNING THEY WILL NOT EVEN LOOKING AT THE JEEP! I THEN DROVE TO FOWLER JEEP IN OKC AND THEY THINK IT IS THE STARTER THEY WANT ME TO LEAVE IT WITH THEM 4-5 DAYS AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN SURE THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM! I'VE CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE! THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO UNTIL THE PART IS MADE... BUT CAN'T TELL ME HOW LONG WILL BE UNTIL THEY GET IT MADE. THE RECALL WAS MADE IN JUNE/JULY 2014 AND IT IS DECEMBER 16, 2014! SO UNBELIEVABLY FRUSTRATING!! AS THIS IS MY FAMILY'S ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION! *TR
