Description of the problem	This 2005 jeep cherokee was purchased brand new from gary barbara jeep / chrysler, upon driving the vehicle the dash lights, gauges, a/c (happens with heat as well) began going on and off then off while vehicle is still in motion, this happens at any speed including no turn signals or brake lights. This sometimes will regain normal operation but most times the vehicle has to be pulled over and shut off then restarted. The vehicle was taken into the purchased dealership and issue was not resolved "saying could not find anything wrong" then as this has continued to happen was taken to multiple dealerships with same issue and same response. This went on the whole time the vehicle was under warranty, and the issue was never resolved. I continued to contact chrysler over the years and no one would respond, at one point a chrysler representative told me to go pound sand since the vehicle was no longer under warranty after me calling to follow-up on another (one of many) detailed letter regarding this issue. This continues to happen and obviously the vehicle is not safe, i refuse to resell the auto and want it fixed. I recently received a recall notice this year - 2015 for the ignition switch, i am not implying this is the repair fix for the issue but re-opened my quest to get chrysler to properly repair this issue. I was told by both cherry hill jeep/chrysler and chrysler direct case #[xxx] the parts for this recall are unavailable, a date or time frame for them is unknown and if i wanted would have to pay a $98. 00 fee to get the auto diagnosed to address the issue of the powerloss during operation of auto. This has continued my belief that chrysler really does not care about its customers or its products nor the safety of their automobiles. Respectfully, [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
