Description of the problem	Have had nothing but problems with this jeep. Purchased it as a certified pre-owned and it has been in the dealer for service a substantial amount. Main issue is the car does not start when i turn the key fob. Have got towed to the dealership three times with this same issue, once in may 2014, again in july 2014 and again in september 2014. Dealer cannot find solution to fix. Coincidentally, i receive a notice from chrysler in november 2014, notice number p57 which states there is a recall on the ignition! I went for (3) weeks in may and a full month in july with a loaner! Four months after i receive the recall notice, the problem is not fixed. My ''ad hoc'' solution when car does not start is to slam the door with the key in the ignition position. This seems to start the car. Pitiful that this is how i must start the car now as there seems to be nothing else i can do...
