When I was driving my 2005 grand cherokee, the vehicle turned itself off causing me to lose braking and steering power. The ignition recall is what is going on however chrysler/jeep does not have the parts to fix the problem nor are the offering any possible solutions. They are refusing a rental car due to the issue not being life threatening. However, having a vehicle shut itself off while driving is very life threatening to myself, passengers in the vehicle and innocent bystanders around me on the road. I am highly dissatisfied with chrysler.
Vehicle loses power, power steering and power brakes and then shuts off while driving. Believe this is related to recall p41 which has no parts available at the present time. I feel my car is not safe to drive and am requesting a rental vehicle until part becomes available. Since I have to have the car towed to the dealership for a diagnosis I want to make sure the part is available. I am expecting chrysler to reimburse me for all my expenses relating to this fix.this problem has occurred 5 other times besides this last occurr- ence.

This vehicle has a faulty ignition switch that has turned off my daughter's engine a number of times while she has been driving the car. Chrysler issued a recall in july of last year, but is unable to obtain the necessary parts to repair the problem. In that this can not only stop the engine, but also disable the power steering and air bags, this is a hazard for anyone driving the SUV. What is the board doing to pressure chrysler to speed up the availability of the necessary parts?
Recall sent in october 2014 and as of today february 12,2015 the replacement part has still not been sent out to the dealer and there is no future date even discussed. If this is a danger and my research shows that in fact if the car ignition goes off, it can be very dangerous, then this delay is not acceptable.

Had truck for 800 miles since purchase used from the original owner. I am 6'5" tall. Was driving on the freeway when the ignition key (1.5" from my knee) accidentally turned the truck off due to contact with my knee. Under different circumstances, loss of power steering, most braking, and possibly airbags could be very dangerous. Hours later I read a story in the mountain news newspaper about a driver leaving the highway due to this same jeep problem. That accident was two weeks ago and the vehicle and trailer overturned on hwy 18. I mentioned this issue to a friend who had the identical 2005 jeep grand cherokee and he said the knee/key issues happened to him "several times" before he sold it. He is 6'6" tall. Secondly, all four interior door handles are falling apart and failing due to brittle plastic. They break with no notice and would prevent emergency egress from the vehicle. While it would be possible to roll the window down and open the door from the outside, with the ignition accidentally shut off that would be a problem. This is an essentially universal problem with this door handle design.
Recall p 51 - faulty ignition switch... Reported to owners, september 2014... Jeep has not provided a fix and do not have any idea when it will be available... I called jeep the customer service number on the recall notice and the voice system puts you on hold forever (I finally hung up after 1 hour)... It's obvious that jeep doesn't want to fix this problem... You need to make them do it... Thanks... [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
