I received a recall notice in november from chrysler stating that there was a recall on my vehicle. recall #p57, an issue with the ignition. this could cause lose of electrical features while driving, including lose of power, steering, brakes, and could increase the risk of crash. the catch is there is no part available to fix the problem. luckily my car didn't crash, however it did fail to start. after having it towed (80 miles) to my local dealership they diagnosed the problem as the recall. i have spoken with both the dealership and chrysler and there is nothing anyone can do to help me. my car, that i take very good care and keep on top of all maintenance, is now a sitting duck. no one can give me any information on when a part may be available and no one can help me to get a car so that i can get to and from my job and live my daily life. i have been informed repeatedly that chrysler is "working diligently" to come up with a solution. to me it seems crazy that they can't come up with a part to fix an ignition! there are ignitions in every car! at this point i consider this situation gross negligence and chrysler could be putting somewhere around 300,000 drivers at risk of death because they cannot and will not fix this problem. i don't live very close to my work and there is no public transportation. my car is a necessity in my life and chrysler has taken that away from me and offers me no support. corporate giants need to be help accountable for their product. *tr

On december 24, 2013, my 2008 jeep grand cherokee stopped in a parking lot in buffalo and the ignition key was not working. i was stranded in the cold in the middle of night. the jeep was towed to the jeep dealer. the dealer ordered the part and fixed the car with a new part to fix the ignition problem. in january 2015, i received a safety recall notice about ignition key and mailed the claim for reimbursement with the paid receipt of repair performed on 1/6/2014. i have mailed two letters for request for reimbursement, but i have not received any response or payment from jeep chrysler. thank you.

While on the freeway my jeep's electrical system shut off. as a result of the system failure, my steering was lost and the vehicle started to loose acceleration. while in motion the vehicle was heading into a turn on the freeway. i was able to steer the car in order to avoid a wall but i was forced to drive off the road. when the vehicle came to a stop i was able to restart the vehicle after three attempts. *tr

While on an interstate expressway, engine ignition cut out, loosing power. by shifting to neutral & using the fob-key, engine was started while moving. this has happened repeatedly about six times lately. i believe this to be defect in the ignition switch assembly. contrary to chrysler info (p57; nhtsa 14v-567), i believe the fob-key was in the "run" detent position when this event occurred. (chrysler says this problem occurs when the fob-key passes the run position after starting). either way, the ignition switch is probably faulty. chrysler has not made available an improved ignition key assembly per their promise, and currently the old ignition switch assembly is backordered, so i can not affect any corrective action. loss of power in a congested traffic situation, or during maneuvering can cause loss of control and a serious accident. i seek a timely remedy to this unsafe situation. *tr

Problem started with the key fob not releasing when trying to turn off the vehicle and will stick between the ignition and auxiliary positions. i have to wait for 10-15 minutes or disconnect the battery cables in order to remove the key fob and lock my vehicle. now the key fob will move to the auxiliary position or in between the auxiliary and on position while driving. this has caused the engine to stall and almost caused me to have an accident on the highway with my children in the vehicle. jeep/chrysler has been absolutely no help as i have been told that my jeep was produced one month after the effective date of the ignition recall and they will not fix it. i went to the jeep dealership where i purchased the vehicle and was told that this was a "common problem" but a month later i am still waiting for the ignition module. now i have a jeep that i believe is not safe for my family to travel in and am constantly getting a run-around from the dealership when attempting to get this problem repaired. *tr
