“I had a recall on my vehicles ignition switch and my car stop while I was driving nearly causing an accident. I was told that it was fixed when I took it to us auto where I purchased it. It was taken to Jeep (2016) but my ignition switch is still the issue. I had a mechanic take a look and my ignition switch is still the problem. How could this happen what if I was injured because of this?”

“Recall has been open for years regarding the ignition switch but chrysler never has the part. Further, this car has numerous reports of braking issues that are sporadic and it caused me to rear-end a vehicle on nov. 2, luckily at a very low rate of speed. I let my foot off the brake to inch forward and it would not engage again when I pressed it again moments later. Mechanic couldn't replicate the issue but that is typical for chrysler it seems.”

“My intial issue with my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee was the vehicle would lose power when shifting into the next gear either when going up a gear or when you were slowing down. It would make a loud cracking sound when this happened. I already had a sensor replaced to try and correct that issue but it didn't work. Then in addition, to that the Jeep started stalling out on me. I periodically have the traction control light, esp bas light and engine light on. …”

“It usually takes a good 10 to 15 minutes to start sometimes then when I do get it started I have the same issues that I have read about on this website and many other websites. The car will not go over 20 miles per hour and you have to pull off the road, turn off the vehicle, wait and turn it back on. It is almost like the Jeep has to be reset. I have talked with several people and had the codes ran. It keeps coming up that it is the solenoid and starter. …”

NHTSA complaint #10632073, filed 2014-09, 110,000 miles

“Rear lift gate cylinders for the back door do not work in cold - 50 degrees or cooler weather. They do not keep the door up and many times the back door almost or did come crashing down on my head. This is not a one time incident. This is a safety hazard which could result in a possible concussion, fractured skull or broken neck. Luckily the last time someone saw it almost crash on my head while unloading groceries they picked up the gate before it hit my head. Prior incidents results in the door hitting my head.”
