Grand Cherokee 8-cyl

  • 200,000 miles
This is not the first time this has happened since I purchased the Jeep in 2009 but it was the most significant one. All lights went off inside & out. There was some problem with the steering & the braking also. The motor did not die nor did the A/C or radio go off. When this happens all the warning lights flash a few times & for a few seconds I loose all the lights & experience the braking & steering problems. I did receive the recall notice for the ignition switch in September, 2014 stating that they were trying to get the parts for repair but I have not heard anything else from Chrysler. This is the only vehicle that I have and at this point I am afraid to drive any distance.

Grand Cherokee

  • 84,000 miles
Mine is doing the same as the rest! and no help from a dealer or anyone! about a month and a half ago I was traveling in cruise at 70mph started to notice every crack in the hwy my headlights would flicker, figured one was going bad. 15 miles later my dash, radio, headlights, and cruise all shut off on me. In the blink of an eye they come back on (including all the warning lights), except for my cruise. Remembering the recall notice, the parts I can't get, and the fact I was a service writer for 8 years at a dealership, I realized my truck had shut off and turned back on (my key never moved). So as I drive on it starts doing it every 20 min or so. The next day on my way home it started doing it again. Now when I drive short distances in the cold (northern wi) it does not happen nearly as much, now longer distance with the heat blowing the whole way it happens regularly, I also notice if I take the key out of the ignition its very warm almost hot.. the last straw was this last weekend, I was making our yearly spring cabin run, traveling at around 35/40 mph on a gravel road my entire truck went dead, key was in the on position and I lost all power to everything, not wanting to lose control, I grabbed for the key ( again going back to the recall) and I literally turned the key from the run position to off to the run position and it restarted (doing this as I'm rolling down a gravel road with no power brakes or steering at 35/40mph). Also noted that it was not just me in the vehicle! I've read, watched videos on this, talked to other owner and now have been dealing with this first hand. After it turning off completely, this is way more dangerous than Chrysler is admitting. My next step is putting a new "bad" switch in, if this one made it 80,000 miles why can't the next, however sadly it will be on my dime. Hope this helps and if you have this issue be very careful!
