| Description of the problem | Driving down the road at 65mph and the speedometer and tach will go to 0 and then back up to operating speed. Warning lights on dash will come on and off along with the fan for heater and air. Chrysler recalled these exact issues in july stating " some jeep commander vehicles may experience an unintended change in ignition switch position while driving which may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicles safety features including the frontal airbags. Until this repair is completed the vehicle can be driven". My only question is for how long? How long until someone is injured or dead from the vehicle losing power. On chrysler recall website for this vehicle it stated they were to issue another letter or information on this issue in september. It is now november. |
