Takata recall i purchased a jeep for 7,500. put 3,000 down and financed the rest. next day, the axle boot was broke. took it back to the dealer and they replaced it. at that time, i realized they gave me a 29% finance rate. so i bought they vehcile right out by writing a check for $4890. with asking if the vehcile had any major issues or been in the shop for any serious engine or transmission work, i was promised the vehcile was in good standing condition. next day, with my fiance and my 20 month old son in the newly purchased vehcile, headed out for a vacation. about 10 mins from our home and the axle they just replacedon't broke and the transmission went. the vehcile had no emergency brakes and no hear, not even park. i had to pull into a person's yard and do donuts until it stopped. got it towed home and called the bank and cancelled the check. now the have towed the vehcile away and say i write bad checks. yet i have paperwork from the bank supporting my cancellation on the check and record of funds to purchase the vehcile. seeking legal advice now. i did purchase "as is"....yet, that doesn't uphold to fraud and warranty of mechanism on the vehcile.
I purchased some hawk brand rotors and brake pads to replace what i had oem. immediately, the product began to fail. after having the product on the vehicle for 2000 miles the brake pads had to be replaced. i contacted the company who refused to accept responsibility for the faulty product. there was increased stopping distance, which created as a safety issue as well as the brake pads not being able to keep the vehicle from moving forward when parked on an incline.
While i was driving on a main road, my car completely shut down. my steering wheel was locked, gas and brake petal were not working, basically my car was going on its own. worst part was that it was going on a slant while other cars driving 45/50 miles per hour heading towards me. i could not stop my car, nor drive my car, nor try and steer myself to a safe location. my car just kept going. something needs to be done. i have almost lost my life 2 times already. i do not feel safe driving my vehicle. everytime i go to chrysler... they do not know what to do or what is going on. when will this be fixed and how?

I was driving down the highway going approximately 65 mph when, without warning, the vehicle shut down completely. engine shut down, all power steering, braking, and power systems were lost. luckily, i was in the far right lane and was able to pull safely to the side of the road. once the vehicle came to a complete stop i was able to restart the vehicle and continue on. this is an extremely dangerous issue. after calling the dealer was told there was a recall for the symptoms described but no parts available to fix it and it could be months before it could be fixed. no offer was made to provide me with a vehicle to drive while the issue remained open. i am not going to endanger my life, my family's lives, or the lives of other drivers by continuing to operate this vehicle. the dealer should be required to provide an alternate mode of transportation to the customer if the issue cannot be resolved in a timely manor.
When it started malfunctioning, i would be just driving and my jeep would just shut off, engine, power, all the dash lights come on, and steering becomes difficult as well as braking, and now it won't start. this is extremely dangerous to be driving but the ignition switch isn't available yet, this is a known recall and now its causing me to miss work since its my only vehicle. this is unacceptable and very dangerous, this has taken far too long to fix. please help! i need a loaner!
I drove into an advance auto parking and when i was driving the car seem to accelerated and i could not turn the wheel on the car i tried to push the brakes to stop the car but the braking system was not working. i could not turn the wheel and the braking system was not working and i started to panic. my car ran right into a metal pole and totaled my car. the police at the seen told me and my husband that the impact that the vehicle took, the airbags should of came out, but they did not. my car is totaled and the body of the car in the front is split in half.
I had my vehicle valet parked with a single key in the ignition. upon receiving my car i got into the drive seat and proceeded to push my seat forward since i had a passenger behind me and was providing extra leg room. we proceeded to leave the parking area of the hotel and at a speed of about 15 mph i turn to adjust and item on the rear floor when my knee hit the key and the entire car was switched off. i had no steering since it was in locked position and the brakes was difficult to stop. the engine was off. i am just glad i was not on the freeway at 65 mph. why is it taking chrysler (fiat) one year to get a fix for this recall?
I was on my way to work and in mid motion the cars engine power steering and brakes shut off. luckily i was going slow enough that i was able to stop my car and restart it without any accidents. but i'm terrified the next time will i won't be so lucky.

I was entering a parking lot when i saw another car exiting. i pressed down on the brake and the vehicle went into sudden rapid acceleration. i pushed harder on the brake and the car sped up to at least 60 mph. i hit the car that was coming out of the lot because i could not stop my car. the car that i hit hit a parked car. my vehicle then sped ahead hitting another car because i could not stop. i sped over the railroad tracks and my car finally came to a stop in a shopping center. this was the last experience with sudden rapid acceleration in this jeep. no one in my household has driven the jeep since. my daughter experienced the same rapid acceleration in february while she was parking. she was going in reverse to park between two parked cars. the jeep accelerated so rapidly she hit the car parked behind. the parked car she hit was totaled.the dealer could not diagnose the problem and chrysler dropped the case. in my case chrysler sent an inspector to investigate the problem. chrysler determined that that they would not change their previous position and denied any mechanical defect. we have a car we are terrified to drive. it cannot be repaired because the mechanical defect cannot be diagnosed.
My 200 jeep grand cherokee is affected by the manufacturer recall number: p41. while driving this past weekend with my wife and two small children. the ignition switch changed positions causing the engine to shut off with steering and braking greatly reduced. thankfully i was not on the highway traveling at high speeds. this occurred in a residential neighborhood while driving 25mph. thankfully no other vehicle or pedestrian was in our path. this was extremely scary and could have been extremely dangerous and deadly. i am completely unsatisfied with chryslers responsiveness to this issue. our jeep is my wife's primary vehicle and drives my children around daily. i feel this vehicle is unfit and unsafe to drive. chrysler promised a solution by the end of the first fiscal quarter which is months past. when will a solution be available? i fell chrysler is responsible to provide my family with a safe vehicle, is a rental or loaner vehicle an option until a solution is provided? please help... *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

During a recent brake job, i removed my brake rotors. my jeep grand cherokee (2005) has a combination disk and drum brake system in the rear in a single rotor. the drum brakes are for the emergency brake system. when i removed the rear rotors one of the drum brake pads fell off on the floor. i checked the other three pads from both rear tires and all of them were on the verge of coming off. they appear to be glued on and glue failed. these are factory installed brake pads. this seems like a safety issue. i should also note that these drum brake pads had virtually no wear. *tr
