Grand Cherokee

  • 110,000 miles
My car engine shut off after driving 0.1 miles out of the alley in 2012 and again in 2013 after approximately 1 mile driven and it shut off. I was able to restart in neutral, but of course lost all power steering and brakes until it could restart. I thought it was a cold engine, however I received a recall from Chrysler 9/3/2014 and asked that the ignition switch be replaced. It is now 1 year afterward and they still have no parts to repair, only suggest that I use a single key. Honestly, this could have been much worse, it is time to have it repaired, but apparently they can't manufacture the parts in 12 months.
