2008 Jeep Commander

AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE A MAN RAN INTO THE BACK OF MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A STREET AND THEN SHUT OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR YEARS WITHOUT MAJOR INCIDENT. HOWEVER HERE LATELY THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AND THEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45-55MPH. I HAVE HAD 2 TYPES OF RECALL WORK DONE. HOWEVER THAT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR RIGHT NOW IS BACK AT THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT HAD PREVIOUSLY ILLUMINATED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED BUT INDEPENDENTLY DEACTIVATED AND OVER TIME FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V567000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V567000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE BEEN THE OWNER OF 2008 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED EDITION FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IT WAS MY DREAM TRUCK.. HOWEVER IT HAS NOW BECOME MY BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF KILLING ME AND MY CHILDREN. THIS TRUCK RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF DURING HIGH SPEEDS, DOESNT ALLOW ME BREAK SOMETIMES FOR READ LIGHTS AND PUT MY LIFE AT RISK DAILY WHEN I DRIVE. I HAVE CONTINUALLY CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND HEADQUARTER ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS MY TRUCK HAS BECOME. I HAVE MISSED COUNTLESS DAYS OF WORK AND BE LEFT STRANDED WHEN THE ENGINE WONT TURN OVER. I HAVE BEGGED FOR HELP AND NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE. WILL IT TAKE A ME BEING KILLED OR HURTING ANOTHER FOR SOME TO FINALLY HELP. THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THE RECALL IGNITION PIECE ISNT IN AND THAT THEY CANT HELP ME. I'M AT RISK OF LOSING MY JOB BECAUSE THE TRUCK I PAY FOR MONTHLY ISNT SAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.

2008 JEEP COMMANDER, ENGINE WOULD REPEATEDLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS, FROM PULLING OUT TO DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL P57/NHTSA 14V-567 OVER SIX MONTHS AGO WHICH STATED "CHRYSLER IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO PROVIDE THE PART AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE". THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD END UP KILLING SOMEBODY IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT CHRYSLER CAN OPERATE IN THIS MANNER AND TAKE THIS LONG TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS SAFETY AND THAT THEY ARE NOT TAKING THE RECALL SERIOUSLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V567000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

IN JAN 2015 OUR KEY FOB GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION OF OUR 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. A DAY LATER,WE WERE ABLE TO FREE IT. ON 2/19/15 IT WOULD NOT START AND WE HAD TO HAVE IT JUMP STARTED TWICE. ONCE STARTED IT DROVE WITHOUT ISSUES FOR 3 DAYS. THEN ON 2/23/15, THE JEEP WOULD NOT START AND THE KEY FOB GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE JEEP COULD NOT MOVE AND COULD NOT BE TAKEN OUT OF PARK. THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WERE THE LIGHTS. WE TRIED TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE AND TRIED EVERYTHING WE COULD THINK OF TO RELEASE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE FOB WOULD NOT RELEASE SO WE HAD TO HAVE THE JEEP TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT. THE MECHANIC TESTED THE JEEP (BATTERY TESTED FINE). THEY CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE ISSUE WITH OUR JEEP WAS A FAULTY IGNITION. THE MECHANIC GOT THE FOB RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION BY UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY. HE COULD NOT GUARANTEE HOW LONG THIS WOULD WORK. WE CALLED THE RECALL HOTLINE AND CONFIRMED OUR JEEP COMMANDER WAS LISTED ON RECALL P57. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER HAS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. THE HOTLINE ADVISED US TO GET A HOLD OF A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND GET A RENTAL CAR FREE OF CHARGE THROUGH THEM UNTIL THE JEEP COULD BE FIXED (AT AN UNKNOWN FUTURE DATE). THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO GIVE US A RENTAL AND SAID THEY COULD NOT LOOK AT THE JEEP FOR A FEW WEEKS. ON 2/28 THE JEEP WOULD NOT START AGAIN SO WE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY (AT OUR EXPENSE). BECAUSE OF THE P57 IGNITION RECALL WE ARE WORRIED THAT WE HAVE AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE AND THAT IT COULD ALSO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURY OR DEATH. WE FEEL UNSAFE IN THE JEEP! WE WANT CHRYSLER TO FIX THESE UNSAFE IGNITIONS IMMEDIATELY AND IN THE MEANTIME PROVIDE US FREE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR OUR EXPENSES. *TR
