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. Https://www.mcall.com/news/watchdog/mc-Jeep-Cherokee-dashboard-shutoff-ignition-recall-watchdog-20141213-column.html this article describes the exact issues I have seen repeatedly. 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.

On several occasions the Grand Cherokee has suddenly shut off while driving. The vehicle loses all power, loses power steering and brakes causing an extremely dangerous situation. Dash lights all go out. Upon restart, check engine light stays on but vehicle functions again.

When coming off of the off ramp from the highway, I came to a stop light. Once sitting at the stop light the heater, dash and headlights all went off but the car was still running. All 3 of the mentioned above flickered on and off multiple times before coming back on again and then the check engine light popped up. This is not related to the ignition as my knees are not even close to the key and the key has nothing dangling from it. This is rather dangerous. If I was still driving and it happened, I would not be able to see my speed or the road.

Vehicle will lose all inside power - dash lights & controls, A/C, etc, whether driving or just sitting idling. Upon restart, it may or may not happen again. Most times it will be ok but you never know when it will happen. If driving, the vehicle will need to stop. You lose all power when it happens. Has happened while driving at 55 mph on a major road, also happened while pulling into my employer's parking lot. The ignition switch was replaced after a recall 2 or 3 years ago at my local dealership. My hunch is that it is still an issue with the ignition switch. It is not detected when tested on a computer as I have brought it in to a local mechanic and they could not identify why the vehicle was doing this.

Headlights flicker and sometime go off completely while auto if being driven. This has been happening intermittently for several months. Have had the ignition switch recall performed and also have had the new ignition switch replaced twice but problem continues. Very dangerous situation to drive at night with unreliable lights.

Dash lights flashing when headlights are on. This causes a big distraction at night when driving. Also makes the stereo lights flash. Has been going on everyday for almost 2 years.

Dash lights flickering and keeps blowing fuses affecting right side front and rear marker lights (tail light and front marker light right side only) replace the fuse and it may last a day or it may last a few months, I see lots of complaints about flickering and I think it's a short, the fan relay for the heater motor kept blowing and after replacing it twice and the blower motor once I found that the problem was in the connector harness (bad solder job at the connector) burnt so bad I'm surprised it didn't catch fire!! in motion and parked.

Recently bought our Jeep and have dimming lights due to low idle and also have a problem with starting it. There are times it wont start unless the battery is disconnected and reconnected 5 mins later and that's after shutting the vehicle off after driving it. From what I have read there is an issue with the wire harness from the battery. The low idle is making the lights dim throughout the vehicle and from what I have read on that it needs a system update that can cost roughly 1000 which I dont have. My wife also said while she was driving home that the transmission slipped on her for no apparent reason. She said she pulled over and put it in park and back in gear and then it acted fine.

Ignition key failure and electrical issues with locks. Vehicle will not start at frequent and in frequent times. Vehicle seems to think that there is a key in the ignition. Dealer has looked at and replaced on previous recall. Problem is not fixed and vehicle will leave you stranded. Took back to dealer and they can't find issue! vehicle was stopped and stationary. Does not start when key is inserted and vehicle is parked.

The vehicle starts up great no issues, then within 5 seconds cuts it's self off. No sputtering or choking, it's not stalling, the computer is turning the vehicle off. This happens at least 1 out of 3 times starting it and sometimes if you keep starting it it will eventually stay in, but other times it leaves you stranded. There are 100S of other people reporting the same issue but Jeep refuses to acknowledge there is an issue. They have replaced the PCM (over $2,000) repair and now want to replace 2 components feeding into the PCM bc the issue persists but won't guarantee the fix. I believe me and others deserve to have Jeep acknowledge this is an electrical issue with their Jeep, that leaves their drivers stranded and vulnerable.

I have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee srt8 about two weeks ago I was leaving a store at night when I started the Jeep the indicator light for my bright lights was on I tried to turn them off nothing happened they were stuck on then I realized I had no turn signals either. When I went inside the store the brights were not on and everything was working fine. I went ahead and drove home without turn signals and my bright lights stuck on about 10 min into my drive everything started working again. Then about a week ago and I turned left to enter a highway everything inside the Jeep went black I lost all interior power gauges, instrument panel, radio, ac, lights and fans the Jeep stuttered but kept running when this happened everything came back about a minute later. Just now when I was taking a left turn it happened again everything inside the Jeep died again and came back on about a minute later. I have already had my ignition recall done also since the recall was done half the time when I try to start the Jeep it will just make a clicking sound and I have to turn it over a few times and hold the key in the start position until it will finally start.

Takata recall, the vehicle lights on dashboard, headlights and the air conditioner stop working and gauges also cannot see anything or read speed limit, gas gauge goes all the way down while driving on highway! the light also flicker on and off and all light symbols appear on, and then only lights on esp bas light! I am afraid because of all potential dangers of have. No lights on can have, I drive the car with my 3 children and would hate for anything to happen while driving because of this issue. The flickering also happens while driving on the street, am afraid of getting pulled over because my lights are flashing on and off behind them.

While I was driving in my local Suburban neighborhood, after driving about 6 miles, my vehicle shuttered and the dashboard lights flicked on and off a few times and started beeping. I got really scared so I pulled over, turned the car on and off again, and that is when I noticed the check engine light was now on. I immedietely took it to my trustworthy mehanic and that it when he told me the code reader was giving an error code of U1411 ignition switch. I did my own research and discovered that my vehicle fits the description (year/make/model) of a recall that was done on Jeep 2006-2007 for faulty ignition switches.
