I called my local jeep dealership which informed me that the replacement part…

    I received notice of recall for ignition switch over a year ago. I believe my car experienced this issue on numberous occassions, to which, prior to recall, jeep "couldn't find problem" and would do nothing to reconcile my safety concerns. I could not apply lemon law. I contacted jeep dealer, mystic, ct again after recall notice and they stated they didn't have parts and i would have to wait to be contacted by jeep…

    Driving on the highway and the entire dash board lit up, blank a few times, and then went dark. Nothing on the dash board was working (no mph, gas gauge, etc.).

Usually the light will stay on from anywhere between 1-5 days and then go away. I have been…
