2008 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1170121
Internal NHTSA #	10701837
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2008
File date	19/01/15
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Problem started with the key fob not releasing when trying to turn off the vehicle and will stick between the ignition and auxiliary positions. I have to wait for 10-15 minutes or disconnect the battery cables in order to remove the key fob and lock my vehicle. Now the key fob will move to the auxiliary position or in between the auxiliary and on position while driving. This has caused the engine to stall and almost caused me to have an accident on the highway with my children in the vehicle. Jeep/chrysler has been absolutely no help as i have been told that my jeep was produced one month after the effective date of the ignition recall and they will not fix it. I went to the jeep dealership where i purchased the vehicle and was told that this was a "common problem" but a month later i am still waiting for the ignition module. Now i have a jeep that i believe is not safe for my family to travel in and am constantly getting a run-around from the dealership when attempting to get this problem repaired.
