| Description of the problem | Problem started around january 2015 on my 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo. Vehicle wouldn't start. My husband replaced the starter and problem persisted. Took vehicle into genesee auto electric on 1/23/2015 and they couldn't find a problem but charged me $250 for replacing battery posts. Then replaced the battery and it seemed to be fine for a little while. Around march 2015 had incident on 15 south where i was driving about 80 miles and the electrical started going crazy. All electrical on the dashboard started blinking and gauges were moving all over the place. It really scared me and so i pulled over to the side of the road and shut off jeep. It took a while to restart it but after wiggling the battery a little it worked. I no longer feel safe driving my jeep after fully realizing what the recall was about and doing some research on other people's experiences. Chrysler gave me a rental car for 3 days and has been unwilling to assist me any further. My jeep is now sitting at the dealership. |
