Electrical problem sometimes when I start the jeep my radio will not come on it won't come until I cut it off and started it back up sometimes it take 2-4 starts. Water problem I have water coming in on the passenger side floor board every time a hard rain comes. Can't find where it comes from. Looked on youtube about 6 people had the same problem with the same kind of jeep commander. 2008. This has been going on for 8 year on and off some. I bought the jeep in 2009 the 1st year it leaked a puddle the next year it didn't leak as bad I thought I was leaving the window down but, I was not it is coming in from the sunroof tray somehow I believe get full and leaks down in on the passger side floor borard. A lot of 2008 jeep owners are having the same problem. Chrysler need to do something about it too many people are on youtube complain about the same thing it should be a recall on them.

Ignition recall....jeep won't start. Have a new starter and battery. When I can get it to finally start the fan stops. Then I get stranded because it won't start again. I see this vehicle has 5 recalls. I bought this jeep from a car lot less than 6 months ago. The lot warranty has expired. So I googled the make and model and find 5 recalls. So far thank god the jeep is stationary when it won't start. But being stranded with a 4 month old baby in the middle of winter....... Yes in angry as hell!
