Instruments lights off and on(battery, check engine, air bags, breaks, etc), transmission overheat information light, vehicle shuts off while driving or won't start or loose power,computer tells mechanics a new module needed, but new module do not fix the problem. Had transmission services, and mechanic check out, but nothing worked.

While driving at slow speeds, the vehicle stalls out, obviously resulting in a loss of power steering & brakes. This has happened 50+/- times over the last 2 years of my ownership. The problem has intensified over the last 2 weeks, but would always re start after shifting into park. Last night (10/8/2017) it happened again. This time while merging onto a highway at 55 MPH. The vehicle suddenly lost power as I coasted to the side of the highway. This time it would not start & I had to have the vehicle towed. Through on-line research, this is a common problem on the jeep commander (4.7l) dating back to when the vehicles were new. The fix for the problem varies greatly. Given the timeline for this problem, its obvious this is a problem that daimler chrysler (now fiat chrysler USA) is aware of & makes no attempt at a solution.

Jeep complaint case # 31436177. I am having a no crank no start issue with bogus error message that reads transmission over temp. I have taken the vehicle to three different places and no one can identify why the vehicle will not start or find anything wrong with the transmission or wiring....... That is causing this issue. The jeep started having this issue intermittently in february 2017 and now it will not start at all as of april 2017. Electrical mechanic is baffled and can not find any thing wrong with the jeep even though it does not start at all anymore. Since february 2017 after this issue started I have had the computer updated to fix the problem, I have had the ignition switch replaced to solve this problem, I have had the transmission cooler lines and transmission fluid changed out to fix this problem and still the vehicle will not start intermittently and now will not start at all as of a week and a half ago. I was also told that it might be the key not being recognized by the jeep and would need to be reprogrammed but this is not the issue either. This is not the first issue I have had with this vehicle either. I also had the wiring harness catch fire inside the driver side door boot shortly after purchasing the vehicle that caused windows, locks....... Not to function and have had numerous issues with water pouring in from drains from the sunroof flooding the vehicle and ruining the carpet on both the driver and passenger side of the vehicle also causing a mold smell.

The vehicle will lose all power while driving and stall. None of the electrical systems will work and sometimes the car will not start back up. The recall for the ignition switch was replaced but this problem still happens. It has been returned to the dealership several times for this issue with no actual fix for the problem. When the system fails, all the dash lights and faults lights flash on and off before shutting down. This has happened while driving as well as not starting after turning off the vehicle. It has been an ongoing issue now for a few years now with no fix for the problem since.

After having ignition switch fixed due to recall and battery, alternator and starter checked, we can not find an issues. It was serviced by a jeep dealer. My jeep will not start or will start and then after parking, will not start again. It leaves me stranded in parking lots and wherever I park it. This only happens after parking and turning jeep off.

Takata recall. I recieved a recall on my jeep commander about 8 months ago concerning engine shutting off while driving and potentially endangering my family as well as others. The recall stated when parts are available we would recieve a second recall to fix the trouble. About two weeks ago while driving my vehicle shut off on me and I almost hit another vehicle. I was making a right hand turn when it shut off and lost steering and brakes. I ended up having it towed home by tripple a and now it will not start. No fault codes present. After reading thousands of online reports of same trouble and jeep chrysler apparently not willing to address issue what do I do. If I did get it to run I would be afraid to drive it or my wife for fear of endangering her or my two young children. Please help all concerned

This is the second time my vehicle has done this. The vehicle is working properly and then all of a sudden it will not start and I get multiple gauge notifications populate including check gauges, transmission over temp. This time it will not start at all, I have tried to start it every day multiple times and it will not start. The same messages are still populating, the battery is good, I have a brand new starter, there is fuel. The vehicle powers up, I can operate everything but the vehicle won't even try to turnover.

Vehicle would not start. Radio and head lights will go on. All you would hear is a click. Checked battery and still will not start. Took it to a mechanic and they did a diagnostic and nothing showed up. The mechanic had it for a two days and it started. They could not find anything wrong with vehicle. The incident happened twice. Looked on line and noticed other people had same problem with vehicle not starting. Also, having water come in through the side door handles. I'm not the only person with these problems. No wonder they discontinued this vehicle.
