Problems with 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Exterior headlights and interior dash lights flicker on and off speratically. this happens while driving, stopped and even when parked. i have to toggle the light switch on and off to try and stop the flicker or even to get the lights to come back on because sometimes the lights stay off even when the switch is in the on position. this is extremely scary when driving at night and i'm sure it irritates the heck out of anyone who see's my lights flickering. they think i'm signaling them for some reason. really need a fix for this asap. hope daimler/chrsler isn't waiting for death/accident toll before they fix this issue. i have already had the ignition switch replaced per the recent recall and the problem with the lights persists.

I am still waiting for chrysler to preform the p41 recall work on my car. chrysler was found criminally liable for this switch. the recall has been in place since july 2014. i get notices that the part is not available. so far three notices over the past year saying that they don't have a new switch available. really??? it takes one year to design, manufacturer, and transport an ignition switch, does no one work in detroit. i have had the car not start because of the switch, and when i crank again it starts. i took to dealer for this problem in 2008. i was told that this was normal, the car's computer was re-setting so that i can start. dealer has gone bankrupt since and closed. i am tired of excuses from chrysler. when will they do their job and fix this problem. i want this done because my family rides in this car everyday. i am also concerned about the gas tank, because car has been rear-ended three times.
