I have been waiting and waiting to get this problem rendered. I received a recall notice about the faulty ignition switch and the slew of possible fatal consequences should anything occur. The recall notice is p41/the federal safety agency 14v‑438, and ive been told I would receive a second recall notice in september 2015. Well, im still waiting!!. Meanwhile I am driving a potentially dangerous vehicle and have been for quite awhile. I have no choice. I have already noticed my check engine light stays lit on my dash, as well as my airbag light as well indicating that I already have issues occurring that are according to the recall notice is linked to this problem. I want this fixed. I cant afford to buy another vehicle and need the one I have. However, am I suppossed to get seriously injured or killed first? Then what,? A family member receives a check? Who cares about the money if I'm killed? I am seriously annoyed and concerned, please render this issue. And I'm sick of hearing "we dont have the part". I need this vehicle fixed now!!! Its been too long already.

In rush hour traffic, the car would lose power everytime the car came to a stop or idled. 3 days later, the car lost power in speed limit traffic after going over the railroad tracks. Since then, it loses power at every stop. If I am not aware, the car rolls into oncoming traffic! I took the car to my nearest dealer. They confirmed that it was the ignition switch that has been recalled and a part hasn't been sent to dealers. I called chrysler and all they did was put me on a list! They apologized for me not having a car to drive and that was it! They would not provide me with a timeline of when the part would be ready. They refused to provide me with a loaner vehicle while it was off the road. I have lost my mode of transportation unless I want to risk my and my family's life, and they say there is nothing they can do even though they are at fault!

At approximate june 2014 I received a recall notice for the ignition switch. Chrysler said approx. Delivery of september 2014. I have not heard or received anything since then. My concern other than the unsafe ignition switch situation is that every time I use my jeep, my airbag warning light flashes on and off continuously. As time goes on, the worse it gets. My dealer says he has checked others vehicles with the same problem; his best guess is it's related to the ignition switch. He also said the airbag should be a concern because it may activate at any time...even without an accident! Chrysler told me not to be concerned...how can I not be concerned? What else can I do?

While driving my vehicle it just shut down without any warning and I had to guide it to the side of the road to restart it.thankfully I was driving in a neighborhood where I could do this, it did this a couple of times in one outing, now its every so often. So far it has not done it while I'm out on an interstate but I try to stay close to home til it can be fixed. Plus when I have on my lights my dashboard lights blink on and off . Then here recently the air bag light started flashing and a few days ago it stayed on and hasn't shut off. I've talked to the jeep dealership about this and they said that they don't have the parts to fix the recall item p41/ the federal safety agency 14v‑438 and I'm liable for the airbag issue. From what I have read online all of these issues are connected. I received a letter on the recall a few months back but have not heard anything back on when I can get it fixed at the dealership. Please advise on what steps I should take to get the parts for this recall so I can enjoy driving my vehicle again. Thanks again

I was driving to the work, a semi truck was front of my jeep,it was a stop sign and the semi truck was stopping and I was slowing down to stop, but my jeep didn't slow down. Even I was pressing the brake, didn't stop on time and I crashed to the semi truck. Luckily, didn't give any damage to the semi truck , but my jeep end up total lost. After I got this recall from mail, I realize , the accident wasn't my fault, the jeep had a factory defected. I need some one to answer this for me. Because I lost my jeep and got another car to go to work. Till now I was asking myself how I couldn't stop the jeep and it was only 15 to 20 miles an hours. Now I know it wasn't me.

Ignition shut vehicle down as I was driving on the highway aprox 65-70mph. Loss of power brakes and steering, if there was an accident the airbags would not deploy due to car thinking the key is in the off position . Is a current recall but no parts are available and was told it was safe to drive. Has occurred multiple times, I removed key and keychains from the key as instructed but it continues to happen.
My front passenger side seat air bags warning lights keeps going on and off, when I position the passenger side seat forward or back don't know why it does that or my head lights flickers while driving on and off, had this problem since I purchase this car from the jeep dealer in december 2005,now realizing it could be electrical problem in the starting ignition switch,need to play with the wires under the passenger side seat to reset the warning light to stop blinking and warning sound to stop or the air bag light on the dash will flash showing it is off.

The air bags light comes on and stays on, the fuel system light comes on and stays on. When checked by mechanic was told some sort of sensor. The speed control does what it wants it can go from 45mph to 20mph and the vehicle tries to cut itself off I have to immediately put it in neutral to prevent that from happening.
Jeep about had the one the airbag light comes on, I take it to the dealer where I purchased the seat buckle, a year later light goes on,I take it back to the dealer and they replace the buckle again. 6 months later light goes back on the warranty had just past but the dealer fixed it again. 6 months later the light goes back on and I go back to the dealer and they went out of business, I took it to another dealer and told them what happened they charged me $150.00 to tell me that I had to replace the entire seat belt harness, I already new that. So I just kept diving it, around 2011 the lights and all gauges started to go out as I was driving no gauges at all no break light no headlights, everything just blinks for a few min, than back to normal, I went on line to see how big the problem was and there is a lot of people that is having the same problem. I took it to the dealer and they told me that it could be a lot of things, I told them it was the ignition, while driving if I hold on the key in the ignition and move it around all the gauges and lights start to flash. I told that to the dealer and they told me that it would cost me to look into it and try to fix it, in know its the ignition one day while I am driving at night my lights are going to turn off or even the engine and get into an accident. There is a big problem with the 2005 jeeps and chrysler does not want to do a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 25 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The driver lost control and crashed into an embankment. The driver side frontal air bag failed to deploy. The driver suffered injuries to the neck and pelvic area. Medical attention was received and a police report was filed. The manufacturer was notified and the vehicle was towed to a salvage yard. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
I was sitting at a red light and a florida state trooper was behind me, also stopped. When the light turned green, the cars in front of me started to move forward so I took my foot off of the brake to ease forward, awaiting to hit the gas when the trooper hit his gas, slamming into the back of my jeep so hard that it lifted the back of my jeep up and forced the front end to hit the vehicle in front of me at the bottom of his rear bumper - pushing me forward into the car in front of me approximately 7 feet. My jeep stalled during the hit but the air bags did not deploy.
I saw the news this morning that chrysler jeep has admitted to a defect where the jeep cherokees (2005) turns off unexpectedly and there are issues with the airbag. My jeep has turned off/stalled soon after I have started driving it on a number of occasions. It sort of stalls with no power going to the engine and then a few seconds later kicks in and moves. This usually happens right after I pull out of a parking space or pull away from the curb to start driving in a lane of traffic. I have brought the car in and discussed the problem a couple times and been told there is no problem. As a separate or related issue, during one of my first services at a jeep dealership when I left the dealership warning lights turned on -- I went back to have the issue addressed and was finally told on the fourth visit that there was a faulty software upgrade and not to worry unless a light went on and stayed on (I didn't have time to pursue the issue and I got no where with the dealership). More recently it has been the airbag light that goes on and off (if is now off). Finally, I went to the chrysler website this morning and entered my VIN and was told there was no recall or notices. I hope that the federal safety agency requires chrysler to address this issue and/or it is addressed through a class action.
Every time while driving the air bag light on dash is always on. Then upon driving, suddenly the seat belt alarm starts buzzing even though all seat belts are latched properly. Then the engine light will come on. Shortly after the dash goes completely black. All alarms and lights go out along with the heating/AC. This is on a routine basis.
