I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2009 JEEP COMMANDER. IN THE FALL OF 2013 I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES,AND WAS TOLD 2 VALVE STEMS WERE CRACKED SO I HAD THEM REPLACED. ON 9/3/14 ON THE WVA TURNPIKE AT 70 MPH THE LEFT REAR WARNING LIGHT FLASHED AND THEN COUNTED DOWN FROM 40LBS TO 5LBS IN 10 SECONDS. I WAS ABLE TO STOP ON A VERY NARROW BERM AND CALLED AAA TO CHANGE THE TIRE. ON RETURN HOME WENT TO THE TIRE STORE AND WAS TOLD THE STEM NUT (ONE OF THE REMAINING ONES) HAD BROKEN OFF AND THE TRANSMITTER FELL INTO THE TIRE CAUSING THERAPID AIR LOSS. ON INSPECTION ON THE REMAINING STEM NUT IT WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED AND SPLIT AS IIT WAS REMOVED. THE CRACK HAD CORROSION INDICATING IT HAD BEEN THERE FOR SOME TIME. I HAVE NO DOUBT IT COULD HAVE BROKEN OFF AT SPEED. I BELIEVE THE ONLY REASON I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL WAS DUE THE FAILURE BEING A REAR WHEEL. NOTED ON LINE OTHER JEEP DRIVERS WITH SIMILAR INCIDENTS. OBVIOUSLY THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY NOTIFICATION IF NOT AN ACTUAL RECALL. *TR

MY JEEP COMMANDER KEEPS STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY JEEP 2009 COMMANDER 2 YEARS AGO AND NOW I GET THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WARNING AND THEN THE CAR STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND HAVE HAD IT FOR 4+ DAYS TO TRY AND FIX THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED AND WOULD PUT MY FAMILY (INCLUDING MY 18 MONTH OLD SON) AT RISK. I HOPE YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THIS COMPLAINT AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE FWD WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE FWD LOW RANGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE DRIVE CONTROLLER WAS REFLASHED EACH TIME. THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE REMEDY PART WAS ON A MASSIVE BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE 4-WHEEL-DRIVE FUNCTION BUT THE OMI WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , POWER TRAIN ). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2009 JEEP COMMANDER ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. THE LIGHTS WERE ON DIM, AND THEY ADJUSTED DOWN WHICH GAVE ONLY ABOUT 20 FEET OF VISIBILITY TO THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO CAR APPROACHING, AND THE AUTO ADJUSTING FEATURE WAS NOT EVEN TURNED ON. I WAS DRIVING 55 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A SELF ADJUSTING LIGHT SYSTEM WHEN USING THE BRIGHTS. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT USING THE BRIGHTS, BUT HAD ON THE DIM LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS ADJUSTED TO THE POINT THAT I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD. IF I HAD NOT KNOWN THE TERRAIN OF THE ROAD, I COULD HAVE EASILY DRIVEN OFF THE ROAD. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY WIFE A COUPLE OF TIMES. SINCE WE WERE THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, THE WARRANTY ON THIS FEATURE WAS ONLY 90 DAYS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT, AND WHEN WE SPOKE TO THE LOCAL DEALER, THEY ACTED AS IF THEY HAD NOT DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE. TO REPAIR THE SENSOR THAT CONTROLS THE LIGHTS WILL COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. THE REMEDY PRESENTED BY THE DEALER WAS TO REMOVED THE BUMPER, AND UNPLUG THE SENSOR. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE CURE AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH JEEP IS AWARE OF, AND APPARENTLY THEY WILL ONLY MAKE THE REPAIR IF THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THE CAR ONLY HAD 57,500 MILES ON IT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. ACCORDING TO THE JEEPFORUM.COM, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I FIND IT AN UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER TO HAVE LIGHTS THAT SUDDENLY ANGLE DOWN WHEN DRIVING, MAKING FOR A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND APPARENTLY HAS NOT CORRECTED THE LIGHTING PROBLEM. *TR

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
