Since I got the recall notice from chrysler and I immediately call them to make an appointment but before I went they told me they didn't have the part for the car. They told me to wait until they got the part. So I waited. Today (november 20) my car didn't start when I tried to start it and the car made a clicking sound. So I gave up and when I turn it all off and took the key from the switch, the car still made the beeping sound like if the key was still in the switch. So I locked my car and this evening I went to get something from my car and the battery is dying. So now I can't go to work tomorrow because my car isn't starting. I just recently called chrysler and they told me that they can't do anything because they didn't have the part and they told me they can't give me a rental because they don't give them for recalls and they told me to call the chrysler main phone and I did. Chrysler said that they couldn't give a rental car because it's not for the recall and they said they couldn't do anything to fix my car until they make the part. So now I have a broken jeep outside parked.

When I called the manufacturer this morning, nov 19, 2014 (my car failed to start) regarding a recall notice, I was advised that I would have to pay for a "temporary fix" out of pocket because the recalled part was currently unavailable. No further recourse was addressed and since my car is intermittently starting and has occasionally stalled while driving, I am stuck driving a potential hazard, or being stranded without a vehicle at all, until replacement parts are made available to me. I have already replaced the faulty ignition part, at my own expense (more than $700) , in 2012 prior to the recall. Clearly even that part was a "temporary fix," though that was never communicated to me.

While driving, all of my lights on my instrument panel start to flash. I am unable to tell the speed at which I am going because it the speedometer stops working as well. The fans stop blowing and this has happened over and over. I received a speeding ticket because of being unable to tell how fast I was driving. I have taken my car to a chrysler/jeep dealership and they were unable to do anything or figure out why it happened. I have taken it to my local garage and they are unable to find out why it is happening. This has been going on for almost two years and keeps getting worse and worse. I have contacted chrysler/jeep via email and was told that I should take it back to a dealership to have it looked at but "if it is monetary reimbursement" that I was looking for, that wasn't going to happen. I can google this issue and find hundreds of people with the same problem online with no resolution! This isn't just a problem that I am having and until it causes someone to have an accident and kill either themselves or someone else, chrysler doesn't seem to care!!!

As I was driving along, the lights began to flicker on and off. The tire alert light came on which indicated a failure. I pulled over and checked the air pressure, which was good (33 psi). The tire alert light continued to come on and off. The doors would not open with the electronic controller. Engine would start. Problem continued to be intermittent until it stopped completely. Happened again this morning. Lights flickered then stopped. Radio, control panel, gauges, doors, etc. Were affected.
Purchased vehicle in feb 2009 this has happened numerous times since the first incident approx may 2010. While driving all the lights on the dashboard will turn on and off, all needles on the gauges (RPM, speed, etc.) will go up and down uncontrollably. The heat or AC which ever is on will go on and off, on an off. The all of a sudden it will all stop and be normal again. According to my research, online videos, and after speaking with the representative on the chrysler recall hotline, this is strongly related to the electrical systems: ignition switch recall. I am very concerned to drive this vehicle, I expressed this when I called chrysler, and was never informed of the recall, I found out by hearing this on the news and come to find out my VIN# was never registered to me since I purchased the vehicle. The dealership has since closed. Since there is no fix in place, I would like a loaner/rental vehicle to be provided as the expense of jeep/chrysler. I don't think this is to much to ask in relation to my life, and safety of myself and family. I am in a trade for a living that requires me to drive my own vehicle to company jobsites, all over my state.
The ignition switch on my car has been recalled by jeep. Currently they are telling me that the car is "operable" so I can drive it until the part comes in, but they have no idea when the part will be available. This recall causes the loss of power steering and can cause the car to stall at any time.. Yet they consider this operable. Today my car stalled due to this recall and I came very close to rolling into another car. They are telling me that they will not offer a rental because the car still turns on. I feel this is inexcusable and unsafe because I am out driving around in a car that can stall on any point in time. (I do a lot of highway driving, and this is very dangerous to my life.) I feel they should be responsible for providing a rental in this situation.
