| Description of the problem | I'm not getting anywhere with chrysler company recall service. My 2006 jeep commander has a p41 recall on it, it will do all sorts of crazy and unsafe things when driving. Examples: the jeep will not start, when starting it the ignition switch clicks, the power is on for everything. Jeep told me to put in drive and then back in park, then try to start it. That does not work. Driving down interstate the jeep will shut off and the power steering goes out. Once pulled over it needs restarted and then it runs again. It also shifts to 3rd gear when coming off the exit ramp when speeding up to get on interstate, again i have to pull over and turn it off and restart it. This is very unsafe and now i have no transportation. Calling chrysler, they said that they will not help or provide a rental car. They say every time i call it's not their fault that the manufacturer of the ignition replacement part is not escalating the order and there's nothing they can do for me. They want us to drive a very unsafe vehicle instead of providing us with a rental car. They also said that they have no time frame of when the part is to be available to the dealers so this issue can be corrected and that they can't just give out rentals to everyone without knowing when the issue will be fixed. I need help, i need a way to work and i need a safe vehicle. *js |
