While driving my vehicle, the A/C, dash, and power steering shut down. Additionally, this casuea the brakes to lock up. This is a direct issue with the ignition. When the key is in the "on" position, the vehicle acts as if it were in the "off" position. This issue has put me in multiple situations where I feared an accident was imminent. I called my local Jeep dealership which informed me that the replacement part was not yet available. I was encouraged to call Chrysler's main office to get an update. They advised me that it was not yet available and that their recommendation was to not drive my vehicle until the recall was available. This vehicle is my only means of transportation, so that is not an option for me. The recall for this part was issued 9/3/14, it is now 6/9/15 and the recalled part still cannot be replaced.

I bought the vehicle in Texas on April 15, 2015 with the purpose of exporting it into Canada, where I live. My son and I drove it back to Canada and got clearance to import it into Canada as per the vehicle import form - form 1 from Transport Canada ( registrar of imported vehicles case # T 075907). I paid the import fee of $204.75 and the excise tax $100 and goods and services tax of $ $408.56 - $508.56 total. When I got to saskatchewan, where live, I tried to get the vehicle licenced and insured only to find out that I could not do that because of an outstanding recall on the vehicle... I went to a Chrysler dealership to get the recall taken care of only to find there was no " fix" for the recall and no definite time frame when I could expect to have the recall done and get the vehicle licenced and insured where I live. This leaves me with a dilemma!! I have never heard of a recall where there was no "fix" available before the auto maker announced the recall. I'm stuck!!! fortunately, I still have the vehicle insured with my Texas insurer and am driving on the permit from the dealer. I'm not sure how long I can continue to do this legally. It's very unsettling !! as I understand it, any vehicle affected by this recall are still ok to drive if they were bought in usa or Canada until a "fix" becomes available but an imported vehicle is not ok! help!!

I bought my 06 Jeep in March of 2015 and had problems with it ever since. First incident happend right after I bought car. Pulled in to mcdonalds drive through and steering wheel locked up on me and dashboard lights lite up all of them. Scared the crap out of me. Same things happened at least 6 other times where the steering wheel would lock up and truck would shut off. I was sitting at a stop light when the dashboard lights lit up and then truck died. Truck will appear to be racing at times when I barly hit gas.I had my 5 year old granddaught with me and the truck shut off while I was driving going about 45 miles. I never was so scared in my life. All I could image was me and my precious granddaughter dying. I was so scared, I could not drive for a day or two to settle my nerves. Please help !!!!!. I think that Chrysler needs to pay for rentals till issue is fixed or have trucks replaced before someone dies. !!!!!!!
