Description of the problem	I have a jeep grand cherokee (2006). Over the past 5 years, it has intermittently had problems. Sometimes while driving and after startup. These problems have always been loss of gauges, flashing lights in dash, what appears to be the traction control or brakes kicking in and the loss of power steering? When this first started happening i thought maybe the computer had been vibrated or jostled and had a glitch. Over time it would go away and 6 months or so later happen again! I have done everything in my power to stop this from happening, ie changing parts and trouble shooting the problems to no avail. I thought i had this narrowed down to a rusted connection from a ground wire connected to the block..... Wrong again! This morning i had my 4 year old son in the jeep and was taking a left at a busy intersection. I clearly had enough time to make the turn, but as i was turning it sounded like my anti lock brakes were kicking in mid turn with a car coming right at us! I made the turn pulled over on the side of the road. All my gauges were dead, check engine light on and only the gear selector was visible. I have read on many jeep related forums, that this is not only happening to my jeep but many others! While reading i have noticed one thing. In many cases these problems were solved by replacing the ignition switch! After reading this i further researched the problem against recalls. I found that, according to the wall street journal, ny times, usa today and forbes, chrysler is allegedly recalling these vehicles with faulty ignition switches. So i called my local dealer. They looked my jeep up in their database and told me they're were no recalls on my vehicle and that they haven't recalled any vehicles for faulty ignition switches. I would appreciate it if the nhtsa could help with some of these problems and answer some of these question i and many others have.
