Upon preparing to stop and/or make a left hand turn (multiple incidents) vehicle's ignition shuts off. This is very dangerous as I was attempting a left turn on a busy industrial 4 lane road when the vehicle shut off mid-turn. I had two small children with me (1 and 4) and am extremely lucky I was not hit, from both sides. My knee sits approximately 8 inches from the ignition switch so I know it was not bumped.

We have been waiting over 9 months since our initial letter from Chrysler notifying us that our electrical switch was questionable. There is also a recall out for power train parts where the Jeep may slip into neutral--this has happened several times, to the point where we are unsafe driving it. Any contact with Chrysler has resulted in "we've forwarded your complaint to our parts department" and then no response. We were told that no parts are in manufacturing--there aren't even parts to fix the problems!! we cannot drive our Jeep for fear of death / injury. Please help us resolve this problem.
