| Description of the problem | My 2006 jeep grand cherokee continually has a problem with the entire control panel shutting down, gauges going to zero, a/c stopping, and headlights turning off when they are on. Recently the vehicle stabilization lights came on and a terrible grinding noise made. This has probably happened 30 times over the past year. It usually happens in about a 5-10 second time span. This past week it stayed that way for around 15 minutes. As sounds typical, the dealership says nothing is showing up. I've had it to an independent shop and the chrysler dealership. This page is literally covered up with the same problem. Why is there not enough evidence on this one site (many others contain this same complaint) to do something about this? Do i just have to take it to the shop forever and spend money only to never get anyone to fix it, or do i wait until i have a horrible accident? I don't really have the money to scrap an unsafe vehicle and start over with nothing. What am i supposed to do? |
