Mine is doing the same as the rest! and no help from a dealer or anyone! about a month and a half ago I was traveling in cruise at 70mph started to notice every crack in the hwy my headlights would flicker, figured one was going bad. 15 miles later my dash, radio, headlights, and cruise all shut off on me. In the blink of an eye they come back on (including all the warning lights), except for my cruise. Remembering the recall notice, the parts I can't get, and the fact I was a service writer for 8 years at a dealership, I realized my truck had shut off and turned back on (my key never moved). So as I drive on it starts doing it every 20 min or so. The next day on my way home it started doing it again. Now when I drive short distances in the cold (northern wi) it does not happen nearly as much, now longer distance with the heat blowing the whole way it happens regularly, I also notice if I take the key out of the ignition its very warm almost hot.. the last straw was this last weekend, I was making our yearly spring cabin run, traveling at around 35/40 mph on a gravel road my entire truck went dead, key was in the on position and I lost all power to everything, not wanting to lose control, I grabbed for the key ( again going back to the recall) and I literally turned the key from the run position to off to the run position and it restarted (doing this as I'm rolling down a gravel road with no power brakes or steering at 35/40mph). Also noted that it was not just me in the vehicle! I've read, watched videos on this, talked to other owner and now have been dealing with this first hand. After it turning off completely, this is way more dangerous than Chrysler is admitting. My next step is putting a new "bad" switch in, if this one made it 80,000 miles why can't the next, however sadly it will be on my dime. Hope this helps and if you have this issue be very careful!

Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

  • 60,000 miles
Starting in Feb. 2012 the engine would quit running while driving. When the engine would quit we loose steering and braking. The vehicle starts right back up and is drivable. We would experience this problem once every 2-3 months. The frequency in which this is happening has increased with the latest incident occurring 3-18-15 while exiting the interstate and nearly avoiding a crash off the roadway. We received a recall notice from Jeep (P41) but everytime we call they tell us the parts are not available. I have tried several times to contact Jeep but am left on hold for over 40 minutes. Can you please help us with this problem.

  • 84,000 miles
I received a recall Sept 2014. It has been going on 7 months and I can not get any information on the status of my recall of P41. I called the Chrysler group recall center and that is a waste of time. The poorest service for a telephone answering service. I was on the phone 30 minutes and finally I hung up. I had to sit and listen to terrible noise (not music) and an announcement that all our agents are busy. I have worked all my life in business and I have never seen such poor service as I have received on this recall. My key switch is loose (because it has been hit so many times). At times I turn the key to start my car and it does not connect with the starter. I would like for someone who is responsible enough and cares about public service to call me and give me a date when my key switch will be replaced. I hope there is someone in the Agency that has enough job interest to give this to a responsible employee.
