2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I have been dealing with this jeep grand cherokee issue for years now. at one point there was a recall on the ignition switch and it was replaced at the local chrysler dealer. the issue i have is identical to the one in the link attached. up until a few weeks ago, i lived with it. now the issue has turned dangerous because it also affects the ability to brake and turn. when the brakes seemed compromised, i took the jeep in for repair but they were not able to duplicate the issue. i picked it up last week from the repair shop and today it was the power steering that went out along with the usual dash panel function going out. i realize that this is an older jeep but it seems chrysler should still be responsible for the vehicle safety. https://www.mcall.com/news/watchdog/mc-jeep-cherokee-dashboard-shutoff-ignition-recall-watchdog-20141213-column.html this article describes the exact issues i have seen repeatedly. now that the loss of power steering and braking assist have both happened over the last several weeks while driving (supposedly fixed by the ignition switch recall), this jeep is too dangerous ...

The STEERING
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

While slowing down to make sharp turns the vehicle will spontaneously shut off causing the power steering and breaking to not work. there are no error codes that come up and the radio and air/heat continue to work. the only reason you know the car shut off is because the breaks and power steering won't work. this has happened multiple times but you can never recreate the problem on cue. it just happens randomly without warning. this has happened both coming off the highway ramp around a turn and on a normal back road street going around a turn. the last time this happened was 11-13-2019
