| Description of the problem | Purchased vehicle in feb 2009 this has happened numerous times since the first incident approx may 2010. While driving all the lights on the dashboard will turn on and off, all needles on the gauges (rpm, speed, etc.) will go up and down uncontrollably. The heat or ac which ever is on will go on and off, on an off. The all of a sudden it will all stop and be normal again. According to my research, online videos, and after speaking with the representative on the chrysler recall hotline, this is strongly related to the electrical systems: ignition switch recall. I am very concerned to drive this vehicle, i expressed this when i called chrysler, and was never informed of the recall, i found out by hearing this on the news and come to find out my vin# was never registered to me since i purchased the vehicle. The dealership has since closed. Since there is no fix in place, i would like a loaner/rental vehicle to be provided as the expense of jeep/chrysler. I don't think this is to much to ask in relation to my life, and safety of myself and family. I am in a trade for a living that requires me to drive my own vehicle to company jobsites, all over my state. |
