| Description of the problem | Have been told by 2 jeep dealerships that reason for my jeep shutting down while driving is in the electrical with the key switch. There is a recall on this but jeep doesn't have the parts to fix. There are more non safety issues caused by this problem such as the nav screen & back up camera not working as well as radio/gps. My jeep just shut off on i-40 & i-75 at a high rate of speed on 2 different times for a period of 2 yrs. Of course, there is no warning. The first time this happened i about got ran over my a tractor trailer. This is my work vehicle and i show properties with it daily. I am widowed and am on a budget. I have called & emailed (chrysler customer # kmm 9079662v48259l0km) for help several times. I do not want to lose my life or somebody else's life because chrysler will not manufacture a part until people are dead! I appreciate any help with this problem. |
