2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee steering problems

“The ignition I believe lost connection with the key fob. Multiple times while driving the vehicle will randomly just die. An when trying to start sometimes it does nothing unless you push key in a certain way.”

“I RECENTLY BOUGHT MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED AND A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT OR PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY AND THE JEEP COMPLETELY DIES. I HAVE HAD MY JEEP INSPECTED I RECENTLY BOUGHT MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED AND A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT OR PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY AND THE JEEP COMPLETELY DIES, NO STEERING OR BRAKES. WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL IT WILL RESTART AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE HAD MY JEEP INSPECTED AND THERE ARE NO CODES OR ANYTHING TO FIND SPECIFICALLY. THE OTHER ISSUE I AM HAVING IS THAT WHEN I AM DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE DASH LIGHTS, AIR, AND RADIO GO OUT AND FLICKER. YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR SPEED AND THE GAUGES GO BIZERK. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY TESTIMONIALS WHICH I HAVE ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ONE WOMEN WAS EVEN GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND HERS DIED AND SHE LOST STEERING AND ENDED UP GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT OK PEOPLE! WE NEED TO HOLD CHRYSLER/DODGE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE BUILDING OF THE CAR. INSURANCE COMPANIES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS. AND MOST.... A…”

“I GOT IN A HEAD ON COLLISION ON JULY 11 IN THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT . I WAS AT A RED LIGHT MAKING A LEFT AS SOON AS IT TURN GREEN I WENT INTO MOTION LOST CONTROL MAKING A WIDE LEFT TURN AND WENT INTO THE SIDE WALK. I HIT A CEMENT TRASH CAN AND A CEMENT WALL AS WELL NONE OF MY AIR BAGS CAME OUT . BOTH INSURANCE AND THE BODY SHOP WHERE THE JEEP IS NOW STATED THAT IT WAS ODD THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T COME OUT . THEY STATED THAT THE HIT WAS BIG AND THE BAGS SHOULD HAVE CAME OUT . I HIT FRONT ON MY WHOLE FRONT END WAS DAMAGED BUMPER, LIGHTS , GRILL .I HIT MY FACE IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING MY LIP TO BUST OPEN AND I HIT MY HEAD AS WELL IN THE TOP LEFT SIDE HANDLE. MY INSURANCE NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO FRAME DAMAGE .I DIDN'T GO TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF THE MAX CAPACITY SO I'VE BEEN TAKING OVER THE COUNTER PILLS FOR MY BACK , HEAD AND SHOULDER PAIN I ALSO BEEN SEEN A NATURALIST FOR MY MUSCLE SPASMS.”

“I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ISSUE FOR YEARS NOW. AT ONE POINT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IT WAS REPLACED AT THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE IN THE LINK ATTACHED. UP UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO, I LIVED WITH IT. NOW THE ISSUE HAS TURNED DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ALSO AFFECTS THE ABILITY TO BRAKE AND TURN. WHEN THE BRAKES SEEMED COMPROMISED, I TOOK THE JEEP IN FOR REPAIR BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I PICKED IT UP LAST WEEK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP AND TODAY IT WAS THE POWER STEERING THAT WENT OUT ALONG WITH THE USUAL DASH PANEL FUNCTION GOING OUT. I REALIZE THAT THIS IS AN OLDER JEEP BUT IT SEEMS CHRYSLER SHOULD STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VEHICLE SAFETY.

NOW THAT THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ASSIST HAVE BOTH HAPPENED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS WHILE DRIVING (SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL), THIS JEEP IS TOO DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD.”

“I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE THE OTHER NIGHT IN THE RAIN AND I STARTED GOING DOWN A HILL AND I HIT A LITTLE BUMP AND MY BRAKES LIKE LOCKED UP IN THE FRONT AND I WENT TO TURN INTO A DRIVE WAY AFTER IT DID THAT AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NOW TWICE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS!”
