I WARNED YOUR OFFICE IN JANUARY AND AGAIN IN JULY THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT HAD NO IDEA IT COULD DO THIS!! I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT NEEDING 4WD AND NOT HAVING IT. NOW I AM CONCERNED ABOUT OUR PHYSICAL SAFETY. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE CHRYSLER FIAT STEP UP, OWN UP THE N23 DEBACLE THAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT. THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS COMPLAINT AND JUST ANOTHER JEEP OWNER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE N23 RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!!! *TR

THEY SAID BRING IT BACK WHEN IT FAILS CONSTANTLY. IT IS NOW FAILING CONSTANTLY. HAVE NOT TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER YET. *TR

PURCHASED USED VEHICLE FROM DEALER. THAT EVENING WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED (35 MPH), MY DASH FLASHED, WENT DEAD AND ENGINE STALLED, LOST STEERING AND BRAKES. THE OIL LIGHT LIT AND WAS ONLY LIGHT ON DASH. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK, IT RESTARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY. NEXT MORNING UPON STARTING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DROVE TO WORK, PARKED, CALLED DEALER. UPON ENTERING VEHICLE AGAIN, USED REMOTE START, BUT WHEN I INSERTED KEY, IT DIED. CYCLED KEY AGAIN AND STARTED. RETURNING TO DEALER, UPON EXITING FREEWAY, IT DIED AGAIN AT ROUGHLY 30 MPH. THIS TIME A LOUD CLUNK SOUND OCCURRED AND THE SAME STALLING ISSUE, COUPLED WITH NO BRAKES OR STEERING OCCURRED. AFTER SHIFTING TO LARK AND CYCLING HEY, IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY. DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A "AUTOSTART RELAY SWITCH" OVERHEATING AND BURNING OUT. REPLACED SWITCH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED, AND VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY ALL NIGHT. THIRD DAY OF OWNERSHIP, WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT, A LOUD CLUNK SOUND, COUPLED WITH JERKING MOTION OCCURRED. I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT REAR WINDOW BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS REAR ENDED, UNTIL I REALIZED MY DASH WAS DEAD EXCEPT FOR SAME OIL LIGHT. CAR WAS STALLED. PLACED IN PARK, CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY. SO FAR I'VE HAD CAR 3 DAYS AND IT'S HAPPENED EVERYDAY. GLAD I JUST DROPPED CLOSE TO 20K ON A JEEP THAT MAY KILL ME. *TR

MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. MY VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND ONCE ON A RAILROAD TRACK. I WAS SENT AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER (NOTIFICATION CODE P57) APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING SINCE THEN AND THIS ISSUE HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. I DID CONTACT THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD NO INFORMATION TO PROVIDE AND I ALSO HAD MY VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED FOR THIS ISSUE ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO WITH NO ISSUE IDENTIFIED BY RIVERSIDE AUTO GROUP IN MARINETTE, WI. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER AT 800-853-1403 AND THEY HAD NO UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE OR ANY IDEA WHEN THIS RECALL WOULD OCCUR TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE HERE? AM I EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH JUST BECAUSE CHRYSLER IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY FASHION? DOES THE NHTSA HAVE ANY OTHER RECOURSE I CAN TAKE ON THIS? I AM CERTAIN I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMEONE GET HURT OR KILLED, BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF PRIORITIZING BY CHRYSLER. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 91 SOUTH CHECK BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THEN CHECK ENGINE AND THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THEN SPEEDOMETER, LIGHTS AND ENGINE SHUT OFF SHORTLY AFTER AT 65 MPH. . .VERY DANGEROUS HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH HEAVY WEEKEND TRAFFIC. TOWED JEEP TO CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE THEY GOT CODE B229 AND B1A35. DEALER REPLACED WIN MODULE(IGNITION) AND NEW KEYS. SEEMS TO BE RUNNING OKAY AT THE MOMENT. HAD TO PAY DEALER ALMOST $800. TO RECTIFY NOT TO MENTION THE TOWING AND RENTAL COSTS. THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AND WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED! *TR

HAD THE N23 RECALL DONE ON OCT 7/14. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, WITHOUT NOTICE OR WARNING. RADIO STAYED ON. DASH LIGHTS COMPLETELY BLANK. POWER STEERING GONE, POWER BRAKES GONE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN SAME DAY. IN FIRST INCIDENT, MANAGED TO SLOWLY GET VEHICLE OVER ON SHOULDER, PUT IN PARK AND RESTART. SECOND INCIDENT, SHUT DOWN ON BUSY CITY ROAD AT LOW SPEED WHILE DRIVING, STOPPED, PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. VEHICLE BACK AT DEALER TODAY! WISH I HAD NEVER DONE THE RECALL WORK! NO PROBLEMS AT ALL BEFORE THAT. *TR

VEHICLE TURN SIGNAL RANDOMLY INDICATES THE WRONG DIRECTION. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN VEHICLE. IT APPEARS TO AFFECT THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL MORE THAN THE LEFT. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL FLASH THE WRONG TURN SIGNAL ONCE, THEN IT FLASHES THE CORRECT ONE. HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCES WHERE IT FLASHED THE WRONG DIRECTION THE ENTIRE TIME THE LEVER WAS IN POSITION. DURING A VISIT TO DEALER FOR A RECALL ON ANOTHER PART, THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE NEW MODULE UPDATES AVAILABLE. HOWEVER HE WOULD NOT INFORM ME WHAT THEY FIXED, AND THEY WOULD END UP COSTING ME $90/ SERVICE FLASH. THIS SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL FOR THE DEALERS TO CHARGE FOR A SAFETY RELATED UPDATE. PROVIDED THAT THE UPDATE IS FOR THAT ISSUE

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER BACK IN THE SUMMER 2014 FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. CALLED DEALER, PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. CALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES SINCE, STILL NO PARTS AND TOLD TO WAIT FOR LETTER. WELL, IT IS NOW FEB. 2015 AND STILL NO PARTS/LETTER. IT STATES THAT IGNITION SWITCH CAN TURN FROM START TO RUN, WHICH WILL SHUT DOWN ENGINE OR OTHER ELECTRICAL PARTS ( STEERING, ENGINE, POWER BRAKES ) INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH. DO I HAVE TO WAIT TILL I CRASH BEFORE THIS IS TAKEN CARE OF ? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED WHILE USING THE IGNITION KEY AND THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT 4-5 MONTHS AGO FOR MY 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. IT IS RECALL P57/NHTSA 14V-567 FOR AN IGNITION SWITCH. IT STATES THAT SOME OF THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE A FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY(FOBIK) THAT MAY STICK BETWEEN THE "START" AND "RUN" POSITION. THIS MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CERTAIN ELECTRICAL FEATURES. IT CONTINUES TO STATE THAT THE IGNITION POSITION MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CERTAIN ELECTRICAL FEATURES AND/OR A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING ASSIST, AND/OR POWER BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER 1-800-853-1403 AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART IN AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN. I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING AND QUITE FRANKLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE MY CAR TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY CRASH. IN MY OPINION THAT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS AND WAITING TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN 4-5 MONTHS SINCE THE NOTICE WAS MAILED OUT. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO STILL NOT HAVE THE PART IN AND/OR AN ETA ON WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN STOCK? HAVING ENDING THE RECALL NOTICE WITH "WE'RE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE, BUT WE ARE SINCERELY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY" DOESN'T EXACTLY SPEAK TO THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER. FOUR TO FIVE MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND STILL NO ETA ON WHEN THE PART WILL BE HERE. HOW CONCERNED IS CHRYSLER? PLEASE, ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF, BUT ALSO FOR ALL OF THE OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE TO HEAR THIS NON-SENSE FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS PUTTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT A SEVERE SAFETY RISK. *TR

3/15/15 SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A SAFETY RECALL (P57/NHTSA 14V-567) THAT THE FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) MAY STICK BETWEEN THE "START" AND "RUN" POSITION, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CERTAIN ELECTRICAL FEATURES AND/OR A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING ASSIST, AND/OR POSER BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST IN ADDITION TO OTHER POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS. THE NOTICE ALSO STATED I WOULD BE CONTACTED AGAIN BY CHRYSLER WHEN THE REMEDY PART IS AVAILABLE. I CALLED A LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS INDEED WERE UNAVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FURTHER FROM CHRYSLER. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A FEW MINOR MALFUNCTIONS WITH WARNING LIGHTS BUT FORTUNATELY NOTHING SERIOUS. HOWEVER, THIS IS TAKING TOO *%^&%*( LONG. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? REALLY, IS CHRYSLER MAKING AN EFFORT TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? I AM UNCERTAIN OF THE DATE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO DATE ON THE NOTICE; THE DATE LISTED ABOVE IS AN ESTIMATE. *TR

INCIDENT 1 (9/23/2014): DRIVING AT 25MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD "CLUNK" SOUND AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH SEVERAL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS LIT. LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING. WAS ABLE TO PULL VEHICLE TO A SIDE STREET AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. UPON PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNING THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND RESUME TRIP. NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED LIT, NO OTHER ISSUES DRIVING. INCIDENT 2 (9/30/2014): DRIVING LESS THAN 5MPH IN A PARKING LOT. VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT LOUD CLUNK WITH SEVERAL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS LIT. LOSS OF POWER AND POWER BRAKING. WAS ABLE TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND CYCLE THE ENGINE OFF AND ON TO RESTART. VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY WITH NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS LIT. PURCHASED VEHICLE USED ON 9/18/2014, SO UNSURE IF THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE HAS HAD A HISTORY OF UNRESOLVED ELECTRICAL ISSUES BEGINNING AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. IN 2009, THE IGNITION SWITCH BEGAN TO FAIL AND THE KEY FOB WAS REPLACED. DUE TO A VIN NUMBER ISSUE WITH A REPLACEMENT PROGRAM, CHRYSLER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE KEY ASSEMBLIES THOUGH THEY WERE REPLACING IDENTICAL ASSEMBLIES ON OTHER VEHICLES THAT USED THE SAME MODULES. SEVERAL "REPROGRAMMING" HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED TO CLEAR PROBLEMS. SPECIFIC ISSUES INCLUDE: 1. ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT STEMS FROM THE OPERATION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. FOR EXAMPLE THE ENGINE WILL START BUT THE VEHICLE WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND THE RADIO/NAVIGATION WILL NOT WORK UNTIL YOU JIGGLE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND KEY FOB. 2. CHRONIC FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE. YOU CAN BE DRIVING ALONG AT ANY SPEED AND YOU WILL LOSE THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS. THE PROBLEM IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LIGHTING OF AN SPECIFIC IDIOT LIGHT ON THE DASH. HOWEVER, THE LACK OF THROTTLE RESPONSE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN BE RESTORED BY ONLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES TO RESET THE ELECTRONICS. 3. CHRONIC FAILURE OF THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS PROPER CORRECTION OF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. VEHICLE WAS COVERED BY A FULL WARRANTY AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THESE PROBLEMS WERE NEVER REPAIRED. DUE TO SPORADIC AND RANDOM NATURE OF THE SYSTEMS FAULTS, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO MAKE REPAIRS. 4. DEALERSHIPS UNABLE TO CLEAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND BLAME ISSUES ON THE FACT THIS UNIT HAS A DIESEL ENGINE. LOCAL WATERWAY CAR WASH IS REFUSING TO WASH THESE VEHICLES DUE TO RAPID AND UNATTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUES WHICH HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS AT THEIR CAR WASHES. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE DOCUMENTED BY CALLING THEM BY TELEPHONE. THEY CONSIDER THE VEHICLES TO BE A SAFETY RISK. PLEASE HELP! *TR

ON THIS FIRST OCCURRENCE, AND NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN. SOMETIMES WHILE SITTING MOTIONLESS (E.G. AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT) BUT ALSO AT TIMES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD. IT HAS OCCURRED AT TIMES WHERE GREAT DANGER WAS EMINENT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED DURING THE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FLOW, WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND WHEN TRYING TO CROSS TRAIN TRACKS AND THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE SURVIVED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. I NEED THIS REPAIRED ASAP! *TR
