Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

  • 60,000 miles
Starting in Feb. 2012 the engine would quit running while driving. When the engine would quit we loose steering and braking. The vehicle starts right back up and is drivable. We would experience this problem once every 2-3 months. The frequency in which this is happening has increased with the latest incident occurring 3-18-15 while exiting the interstate and nearly avoiding a crash off the roadway. We received a recall notice from Jeep (P41) but everytime we call they tell us the parts are not available. I have tried several times to contact Jeep but am left on hold for over 40 minutes. Can you please help us with this problem.

Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • 84,000 miles
I received a recall Sept 2014. It has been going on 7 months and I can not get any information on the status of my recall of P41. I called the Chrysler group recall center and that is a waste of time. The poorest service for a telephone answering service. I was on the phone 30 minutes and finally I hung up. I had to sit and listen to terrible noise (not music) and an announcement that all our agents are busy. I have worked all my life in business and I have never seen such poor service as I have received on this recall. My key switch is loose (because it has been hit so many times). At times I turn the key to start my car and it does not connect with the starter. I would like for someone who is responsible enough and cares about public service to call me and give me a date when my key switch will be replaced. I hope there is someone in the Agency that has enough job interest to give this to a responsible employee.

Grand Cherokee

I received a recall notice (P41/NHTSA 14V-438) from Chrysler about 6 to 8 months ago. My dealer says still waiting on parts. I have followed their instructions and removed keys from Jeep key. Dash lights have started blinking on and off, this give me no information when off (speed, etc.). I can hold key and lights will stay on. This does not happen all the time just some time. Isn't 8 months a long time to wait to get this repair because this could result in loss of engine power, and braking leading to a crash..
