I was driving and turned on the left turn signal, it was flashing extremely fast and after i made the turn we noticed that some of the interior dash lights were out. later that night after stopping and restarting the ignition a couple times things seemed back to normal but then it happened again. this has been intermittent since then, but now i have also been informed that i have no brake lights. i checked the brake lamps and they are good and the fuses are good too. i had my mechanic check out the multi-function headlight switch as that seemed to be where the issue was originating and they told me that this is the problem and it needs to be replaced. this is a very serious failure that could have lead to a tragic accident. i feel that there should be an investigation into this and jeep should replace these switches. *tr

When i was driving my 2005 grand cherokee, the vehicle turned itself off causing me to lose braking and steering power. the ignition recall is what is going on however chrysler/jeep does not have the parts to fix the problem nor are the offering any possible solutions. they are refusing a rental car due to the issue not being life threatening. however, having a vehicle shut itself off while driving is very life threatening to myself, passengers in the vehicle and innocent bystanders around me on the road. i am highly dissatisfied with chrysler. *tr

Vehicle loses power, power steering and power brakes and then shuts off while driving. believe this is related to recall p41 which has no parts available at the present time. i feel my car is not safe to drive and am requesting a rental vehicle until part becomes available. since i have to have the car towed to the dealership for a diagnosis i want to make sure the part is available. i am expecting chrysler to reimburse me for all my expenses relating to this fix.this problem has occurred 5 other times besides this last occurr- ence. *tr

Recall sent in october 2014 and as of today february 12,2015 the replacement part has still not been sent out to the dealer and there is no future date even discussed. if this is a danger and my research shows that in fact if the car ignition goes off, it can be very dangerous, then this delay is not acceptable. *tr

Had truck for 800 miles since purchase used from the original owner. i am 6'5" tall. was driving on the freeway when the ignition key (1.5" from my knee) accidentally turned the truck off due to contact with my knee. under different circumstances, loss of power steering, most braking, and possibly airbags could be very dangerous. hours later i read a story in the mountain news newspaper about a driver leaving the highway due to this same jeep problem. that accident was two weeks ago and the vehicle and trailer overturned on hwy 18. i mentioned this issue to a friend who had the identical 2005 jeep grand cherokee and he said the knee/key issues happened to him "several times" before he sold it. he is 6'6" tall. secondly, all four interior door handles are falling apart and failing due to brittle plastic. they break with no notice and would prevent emergency egress from the vehicle. while it would be possible to roll the window down and open the door from the outside, with the ignition accidentally shut off that would be a problem. this is an essentially universal problem with this door handle design. *tr
