This shall serve to inform you that I owner of a Jeep Cherokee Laredo 2008 has filed numerous complaints with the department of motor vehicles concerning a recall with my ignition switch. It has been over two years and I am stilling for my ignition switch part to be ordered. The vehicle on numerous occasions has proved to be unsafe by stopping abruptly on the highway by losing power, parking lots by failing to start or on the road by losing speed where I could literally release the brake pedal and the car could not move. This is not only dangerous especially when I am in the car with my family on the highway and my ignition switch makes my car lose power, not only can I cause an accident and harm my family and I but other vehicles with their passengers too. I would like to know that matters are being taken to find parts to replace the faulty ignition switch. How long is it reasonable to wait for recall part to be order and fixed for my vehicle, until some tragic accident occurs? I am writing to inform you, if there is ever an incident, not only will I will file legal action against the department of motor vehicles.

Key in ignition but can't roll down windows, use blinkers, no radio. Basically nothing electrical. First noticed problem when headlight seemed like it had short. Replaced bulb at $85. I consider this a serious issue and there are no answers forthcoming for a repair date. Dealership has no answers either. I am noting all contacts concerning this issue.

We were driving down the road and the Jeep shut off. No power at all. Wheel locked and we about crashed. Thought maybe the ignition kicked back. (recall). Nope there wasn't any power at all after trying to restart the Jeep. Called the dealer. They said Chrysler is aware of the win failing and are aware of the tsb but refuse to recall the Jeep because they say it's too expensive to recall all the vehicles affected by these issues. So to recap.... we almost crashed the Jeep at 55mph which would have killed my wife, our young twin boys, and myself. But for Chrysler to recall these vehicles would be too expensive. So after a $200 tow bill and 2 hours in -20 degrees in an Ohio winter with no heat the Jeep still won't start. After a little bit of research I've have discovered that the Chrysler electrical systems are very poor and any static electricity will short them out. Please do something about these issues before someone loses a family member or their own life. I will gladly sell this vehicle back to Chrysler for the amount I paid. I have paid 10K and owe 9K still. Please force them to do something! anything at all!
