| Description of the problem | I have been experiencing electrical problems with my vehicle since i purchased it in november 2010. There has been systemic electrical failures that are getting progressively worse and putting my safety at risk. I have been getting the run around with chrysler regarding the problems. - i purchased the vehicle brand new from a jeep dealer in los angeles california. Since being purchased the following components have failed intermittently. Each part simply stopped working while i was driving the vehicle and in order to make them start working again i would have to pull over turn the car off wait a few minutes then turn the car back on (horn, lights, window maser switch, car stereo, car stereo amp, driver's airbag). Once i restarted the car it seemed like the jeep would reset and the parts would start working again. Jeep has been replacing these items, but they would never root cause the problem. - most recently chrysler discovered that the fuse box & electrical cluster were defective. It took jeep 77 days to replace the 2 parts. The worse part is they tried to have me drive the vehicle during those 77 days until the parts became available putting me and any vehicle around me at risk of injury and death. This in my opinion is a serious safety hazard. - while i hope this is the end of my problems.. I think the nhtsa should investigate jeep chrysler's electrical cluster and components to ensure that they are worthy of being in vehicles on the road. |
