THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WIDE SPREAD. ALL THE INTSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THE A/C RADIO HEATER TACHOMETER SPEEDOMETER ETC STOP WORKING. I INVESTIGATED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO CLEAR CUT FIX. MY JEEP IS INCLUDED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A RELATED PROBLEM. THERE IS NO ETA FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH PARTS! I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE YESTERDAY.

I HAVE GETTING INTERMEDIATE MESSAGE SINCE MAY SAYING "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" IN DASH AREA. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MAY 14, IN WHICH THEY TOOK AN EDUCATED GUESS TO CHANGE MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. I AGREED TO THE SERVICE WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK TO BACK THE DEALER AGAIN ON JUNE 1, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME THE DEALER TECHNICIANS WORKED ALONG WITH CHRYSLER BY OPENING A CASE. THE CORPORATE CHRYSLER TECHS RECOMMEND TO REPLACE THE SOLENOID, I AGREED TO DO THAT. SINCE MAY I HAVE SPENT OVER $1320.00 AT DULLES JEEP AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE HOW CAN YOU HELP ME? THANK YOU ANDREW

TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP WARNING CAME ACROSS THE DASHBOARD AND CONTINUED AFTER TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. COOLANT AND TEMPS LEVELS ARE NORMAL. WARNING HAS CONTINUED TO COME ON PAST COUPLE DAYS AT 60 DEGREE WEATHER WITH NO REASONING AS TO WHY. NO ELECTRICAL FAILURES OR OTHER PROBLEMS EXIST.

THERE IS ACTUALLY A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR MY VEHICLE, P41/NHTSA 14V-438. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES CALLING CHRYSLER'S GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 800-853-1403 AND GET AUTOMATED RESPONSE THAT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, MAINLY WHILE USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, MY KNEE HAS HIT THE SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. MOST TIMES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY. HOWEVER, RECENTLY I LOST ALL POWER AND ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS RAPIDLY APPROACHING ME FROM BEHIND AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART, I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE, JUST NARROWLY AVOIDING GETTING REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE. NOW, I HAVE A 15 YEAR OLD THAT IS STARTING TO DRIVE AND IT SCARES ME TO HAVE MY CHILD DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO EXPEDITE CHRYSLER FIXING THIS PROBLEM OR POSSIBLY BUY BACK THIS VEHICLE AS IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING I HAD ADJUSTED MYSELF IN MY SEAT AND MY KNEE ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE KEY WHICH TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF WHILE DRIVING 65MPH WITH MY 13 MONTH OLD CHILD IN THE BACKSEAT.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I NOTICED MY TRUCK WAS SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT ME APPLYING THE BRAKES AND ONCE I DID APPLY THE BRAKES I WAS INFORMED I HAD ONLY ONE BRAKE LIGHT WORKING. AT THAT TIME I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A PART STORE TO HAVE THE FUSES CHECK AND I PURCHASED MORE BULBS AND FOUND OUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM NOT EVEN THE NEW BULBS WORKED AND THE FUSES WERE GOOD AS WELL. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2014 FROM DRIVE TIME OF COLUMBUS, GA AND WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE RECALL. THE CARFAX ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE DID NOT MENTION ANY DEFECTS AS A MATTER OF FACT THE CARFAX LISTED THIS VEHICLE AS ALMOST PERFECT. I HAVE CONTACT CHRYSLER REGARDING THIS MATTER AND THEY TOO LET ME KNOW THIS PROBLEM WAS PART OF THE RECALL BUT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND IT IS MAY 2015. NOW I AM DRIVING A TRUCK THAT IS REALLY NOT SAFE. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASE THE TRUCK WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. THEY ARE ONLY CONCERNED WITH THE PAYMENTS., CAN SOMETHING BE DONE? CAN THIS DEALERSHIP BE MADE TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK I HAVE SPENT ON THIS TRUCK OR GIVE ME ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH I AFRAID TO TRUST ANYONE AT THIS POINT. YOUR ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
