I BOUGHT MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 WITH V8 4.7L, QUADRA TRACK II ON 8/1/2013. ATP I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON ______________. I SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND THE CARE WAS REPAIRED. I SOON CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP BACK AND COMPLAINED OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON INTERMITTENTLY, 4X4 SERVICE LIGHT AND PARKING AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THESE ISSUES WERE NOT PARK OF THE RECALL THEY REPAIRED AND TO CALL THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM. I CALLED AUTOMATION AND WAS TOLD THAT MY COMPLAINTS WERE NOT IN THE RECALL AND OR UNDER A WARRANTY WITH THEM AND TO PAY FOR A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I COULD NOT AFFORD THE SERVICES SO NO GO. I STILL HAVE THESE ISSUES OFF AND ON AND JUST GOT A SERVICE REPAIR RECALL NOTICE IN 9/2010. LIKE ALL THE OTHERS I'M STILL RISKING EVERYTHING EACH TIME I DRIVE THE ONLY CAR WE OWN AS A FAMILY AND AN WAITING FOR CHRYSLER TO MAKE THE PART AVAILABLE AND PRAY I DON'T HURT MYSELF MY FAMILY OR ANOTHER DRIVER, IF THE SYSTEM DECIDES TO COMPLETELY FAIL. COME ON GET YOUR [XXX] TOGETHER WE NEED PARTS AND A FIX ASAP!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL OUT FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES. THE RECALL NOTICES WERE ISSUED IN SEPT 2014. IT IS NOW MID DEC AND THERE ARE NO PARTS AND NO REMEDY FOR THIS WHEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. ON THE RECALL IT STATES THAT THE ENGINE CAN STOP DUE TO ELECTRICAL FAILURE W/IN THE VEH WITH OUT NOTICE AS WELL AS THE POWER STEERING CAN BE LOST AND OR THE BRAKING ALL OF WHICH INCREASE YOUR CRASH POTENTIAL. THERE IS ALSO WARNING THAT THE AIR BAGS CAN DEPLOY W/O WARNING CAUSING BODILY HARM TO BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THEY ARE AWARE THERE IS AN ISSUE AND STATE THEY STILL HAVE DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE - INEXCUSABLE!!! *TR

PREVIOUSLY OWNED JEEP COMMANDER WAS PURCHASED FROM A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN 2012. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD UNUSUALLY SHORT BATTERY LIFE: THE BATTERY IN THE CAR HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED 2 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS (WARRANTIED 3 YEAR BATTERY LIFE FROM MANUFACTURER). ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR HAS FAILED TO START ATLEAST 5 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE BATTERY POWER WILL BE FINE, BUT THE IGNITION WILL REFUSE TO ENGAGE(NO CLICKING SOUND.) IF ANOTHER BATTERY IS HOOKED UP TO THE ENGINE, IT WILL START JUST FINE WITHOUT ANY WAITING PERIOD TO CHARGE BATTERY SINCE THE CAR'S BATTERY WILL STILL BE FULLY CHARGED. TODAY THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL AND WE FINALLY BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON SINCE WE WEREN'T ABLE TO JUMP THE ENGINE THIS TIME. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE, AND THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY ANY PROBLEM, SO IT SHOULDN'T BE A BROKEN OR WORN DOWN PART(ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE 60,000/4 YEAR OLD MARK). ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR WILL NOT DISPLAY ANY FAULT MESSAGES, SO IT EITHER CAN'T SENSE THE IGNITION PROBLEM, OR HASN'T BEEN PROGRAM TO UNDERSTAND THERE ARE POWER ANOMALIES IN THE STARTER/IGNITION SYSTEM. *TR

IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. LATEST RECALL INCLUDES 2008 CALLED AND DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THIS NIGHTMARE WAS FINALLY OVER. SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE HAS BEEN OCCURRING. COMPLETELY LOSES ALL POWER-STEERING, BREAKING..EVERYTHING COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. HAS OCCURRED IN 80 MPH TRAFFIC IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA, ON A RAILROAD TRACK (DUE TO BUMP) IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERACTION, SPEEDING UP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO TRAFFIC ETC. TOOK EVERYTHING OFF KEY AND DID NO GOOD EXCEPT MADE ME LOSE MY EXTRA KEY THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP. I OWE 18K+ AND CAN'T DRIVE IT OR I RISK MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY CHILDREN. WAS REAR ENDED TWICE WITHIN A MONTH SO I GAVE UP AN STOPPED DRIVING. *TR

2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 LOSES ALL POWER AT HIGH SPEEDS TAKEN BACK TO REEDMAN-TOLL DEALERSHIP X2 IN APRIL 2014 AND AUG 2014, AND THEY CANNOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM. REEDMAN TOLD US GAS CAP COULD CAUSE ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON, OR WIN MODULE, WHICH WAS REPLACED ONCE, MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE KEY CHAIN IS TOO HEAVY (CANNOT HAVE MULTIPLE KEYS ON CHAIN) AND MAY NEED TUNE UP. IT S SOO SCARY AND DANGEROUS NOW WE SEE THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FILED. IS THIS CAUSED BY THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR? IS THERE A RECALL? AT. 50-60 MPH THE ENGINE WITH HESITATE AND STALLS OUT AT HIGH SPEEDS AND REQUIRE A SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO RESTART. ALL POWER IS LOST: STEERING AND BRAKES! ....... MANUFACTURER: CHRYSLER GROUP LLC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NO. (VIN): [XXX]... SUMMARY: MY VEHICLE STALLED OVER 5 TIMES IN FIRST 10 MINUTES OF OPERATION. ONCE I GOT TO 50-60 MPH THE ENGINE WITH HESITATE AND STALL OUT AT HIGH SPEEDS AND REQUIRE A SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO RESTART. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT ISSUE WITH MY JEEP COMMANDER SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED IT IN 2012. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO JEEP/CHRYSLER ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE NEVER FOUND THE ISSUE. I HAD TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE WITH NAPERVILLE CHRYSLER/JEEP/RAM/DODGE ON FRIDAY 6/20 BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND DANGEROUS. THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I HAVE READ THAT 100'S IF NOT 1000'S OF JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND TO DATE NO RECALL OR FIX. SHAME ON CHRYSLER, SOMEBODY WILL BE INJURED BECAUSE THIS ISSUE.

I HAD TROUBLE GETTING MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND HAD TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT BACK AND FORTH UNTIL THE KEY WOULD TURN COMPLETELY OFF AND FINALLY COME OUT. I LOCKED MY CAR AND WENT INTO MY HOME. I LATER WENT OUT TO GO TO THE STORE. I UNLOCKED MY CAR VIA KEYLESS ENTRY WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. I WENT AND BOUGHT BATTERIES FOR MY KEY FOBS THINKING THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT DID NOT. MY JEEP WHICH IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION IS STUCK IN MY DRIVE WAY. *TR
