2008 Jeep Commander

2008 JEEP COMMANDER SAFETY ISSUE WHERE IT COMPLETELY LOOSES ALL ELECTRICAL AND MOTOR SYSTEMS WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING. IT STALLS OUT ONLY AT LOW RPM OR WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. I LOST ALL SYSTEMS INCLUDING STEERING, BRAKES, AND HAZARD LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP AND PRIVATE AUTO MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE AND IT LEAVES NO SYSTEM EVENTS. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THIS WAS RELATED TO AN EARLIER MODEL COMMANDER RECALL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THEY GREW ANGRY WITH ME AND HUNG UP.

MY JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED MANUFACTURED OCT 23 2007 REFERENCE TO 14V567000 JEEP VEHICLES APRIL 3 2007 TO MAY 12 2008 IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) (EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR) THE IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) MAY NOT RETURN TO THE "ON" POSITION AFTER BEING ROTATED TO THE "START" POSITION, INSTEAD STICKING BETWEEN THE TWO POSITIONS. POTENTIALLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THE IGNITION MAY INADVERTENTLY MOVE THROUGH THE "RUN" POSITION TO THE "ACCESSORY" OR "OFF" IGNITION POSITION, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON FOR MORE THEN 3 MONTHS NOW. CONSEQUENCE SUMMARY: THE IGNITION STAYS BETWEEN "START" AND "ON" POSITIONS CAUSES LOSS OF CERTAIN ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. ENGINES STOPS, STATER CONTINUES RUNNING, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS GO ON AND ETC. TALKING WITH CHRYSLER TODAY HAVE YET TO ADD JEEP 2008 LIMITED LIBERTY TO THEIR RECALL LIST. I'M WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR ADDED TO LIST IF THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THE DISCUSSING PART IT IS MY FAULT IF ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS HAPPENS AND I DID NOT HAVE CHRYSLER DO REQUIRED REPAIRS WITH CHARGING ME FOR IT. MY PROBLEM WITH THIS ANY REPAIR RECORD OF COULD BE LOST. ( THIS SEEMS TO BE THE TREND WITH SERIOUS PROBLEMS )

AFTER RECEIVING N23 RECALL AND OTHER SOFTWARE UPDATES (P73) THE 4 WHEEL DRIVES SYSTEM DISABLES AT RANDOM. THIS HAS TO BE REPAIRED AT DEALER. ERROR CODE POINTS TO SHIFT ACTUATOR, BUT IN REALITY IT IS SOFTWARE. IF ERRORS ARE CLEARED PARTS FUNCTION FINE. LOSS OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAN BE A LIFE THREATENING. SINCE MOST OF THE TIME 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS NEEDED IS WHEN NOT NEAR HELP. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE ONGOING SINCE 2013. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CONTACTED SINCE 2014 WITH STARCASES. ISSUE HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED. LATEST BREAK DOWN LEFT ME STRANDED WHILE ON VACATION AND HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SHIFTING FAILS RANDOMLY, IT CAN BE WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN TRYING TO ENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE OR JUST DRIVING DOWN STREET AND SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM WARNING COMES ON. ERROR CAN BE CORRECTED SOMETIMES BY PULLING FUSE FOR FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE OTHER TIMES REQUIRES DEALER TO REAPPLY SOFTWARE FLASH. SOME DEALERS REFUSE TO TRY THIS AND JUST PROCEED TO CHARGE TO REPLACE SHIFT ACTUATOR MOTOR.
