2006 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1088312
Internal NHTSA #	10611157
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2006
File date	17/07/14
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The dash lights started flickering, then the brakes locked up and the jeep just lost power and turned off. This was the first time that the jeep's brakes locked up and lost power and this is enough to cause alarm and resulted with this complaint. I will not wait for a second time that the vehicle's brakes lock up and turns itself off at a more dangerous highway situation on a busy traffic and certainly not putting my family at this type of risk which is obviously a manufacturer's defect. [xxx], a customer service representative from jeep that i have spoken to advised that chrysler could possibly issue a recall if enough number of complaints were received from nhtsa. Am i really supposed to wait until my family gets injured before something gets done with this known issue? The dash lights/gauges issue has been ongoing and jeep had been contacted a few years back to no avail. I also advised [xxx] (jeep rep) about all four handles breaking at the same time. I had to open the door from the outside to let my daughter and her friend get out of the backseat. These handles should not break at all due to it's normal use and purpose. I request your department to please investigate this obvious safety issue, and avoid any injuries that this defect could cause. Thank you.
