I WAS DRIVING HOME AT DARK WITH MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND EVERYTHING IN THE DASH WENT OUT. THIS JEEP WAS RECALLED LAST YEAR 2014 FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH AND HAS TO THIS DATE NOT BEEN FIXED, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE PLANS FOR REPAIRING THIS SITUATION, THE HEADLIGHTS NOW WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME OR DATE WHEN IT DECIDES TO DO THIS. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE TO THIS SITUATION SINCE THIS IS THE VEHICLE THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK AND TO TRANSPORT MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL.

COMPLAINT FOR ANOTHER JEEP OWNER WHEN DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO THE LIGHTS AROUND THE PND21 WILL CIRCLE ALL OF THE GEARS AND EITHER GO INTO NEUTRAL OR 1ST GEAR ON ITS OWN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT, IT HAPPENS AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A WEEK. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD - HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER SAID IT NEEDS ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE AT A COST OF $750. CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE JEEP THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIR. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE A LOT OF THESE SAME 2006 JEEPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID MY JEEP HAS TO MANY MILES 85,000 - BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAPPENS TO CALL JEEPS NO MATER WHAT THE MILEAGE - I THINK THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THEY SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT - NOW MATTER HOW MANY MILES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CULMINATED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WAS ABLE TO GRADUALLY GET TO SHOULDER AND SLOW DOWN AND FINALLY STOP WITH GREAT EFFORT. APPROX 5 MINUTES LATER, ABLE TO RESTART CAR AND CONTINUE WITHOUT INCIDENT. *TR

SIMILAR TO RECENT GM PROBLEM, WHEN DRIVING, MY KNEE TOUCHES THE IGNITION SWITCH, WHICH THEN SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAFELY STEER THE CAR TO THE ROADSIDE. I AM CONCERNED THAT, IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN MY WIFE IS DRIVING, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO SAFELY CONTROL THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LAREDO 3.6L WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE MAY OF 2012 IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A HUGE PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE AND HAD A CASENUMBER WITH THEM TO GET THE ISSUES RESOLVED, NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY FIXED HALF OF THE ISSUES AND THEN CLOSED THE CASE WHEN THE DEALERSHIP THAT WAS WORKING ON IT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE OTHER ISSUES. THE JEEP WILL LUNGE, JERK, AND GET STUCK IN 2ND GEAR AT 1.5RPHS UNTIL YOU PRESS THE GAS REALLY HARD AND IT SLIPS GEARS. FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS ON AND OFF THE JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FOR EXAMPLE TODAY WHILE LEAVING WORK I WAS GOING AROUND 30 MPH AND TURNED MY HEAT ON THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON (CHECK ENGINE, OIL,) ALL THOSE MY GAS GAGE WENT FROM FULL TO EMPTY MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND ABS BRAKES. NEVER THE LESS IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE SO IM A SITTING DUCK TO OTHER CARS WHO CAN NOT SEE ME. THEN ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER THE JEEP IS BACK TO NORMAL AND IS RUNNING FINE. IT HAS EVEN DONE THIS WHEN I JUST HONK MY HORN OR TURN ON MY RADIO. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP MANY OF TIMES REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEIR RESPONSE IS WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS! SO THEY WANT ME TO PAY UP TO 1,000.00 IN DIAGNOSTIC COSTS (DEALERSHIP SAID) BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SEARCH EVERYTHING ON THE JEEP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE IT COULD BE ANYTHING. AND JEEPS RESPONSE WAS THEY ARE NOT SAYING THAT THEY WILL COVER IT OR NOT. I HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE JEEP THAT I BOUGHT THAT IS GOOD FOR ANOTHER 50,000 MILES. THESE ISSUES SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE FIXED AND PAID FOR BY JEEP BECAUSE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS ISSUES HAPPENS AGAIN WITH MY SMALL CHILD IN THE CAR AT NIGHT AND I GET HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT SEE ME? WILL JEEP PAY THEN? *TR
