While driving noticed windows, sunroof, radio, seats, air conditioning systems where not operating at all. Then airbag light came on, along with service four wheel drive system warning indicator came on. Tried restarting and resetting systems but had no luck. Had a friend bring other key fob and all systems but four wheel drive were normal for remainder of fifteen mile trip. Upon notifying dealership about recall notice received for transfer case programming. They assured my family it would solve all problems. Being an honest mechanic that I am, I took there word. Two weeks later same problems and was getting worse fuel mileage then before programming.(6 mpg less) I had to leave work to take commander back to dealership. They said programming didn't program. After leaving returned to work and decided to test four wheel drive. Same results, service four wheel system light and four low didn't work. Returned third time four low worked for one week but radio completely stopped producing sound. Now they say I'm out of my ten thousand mile programming warranty. I would rather have old programming back at least then I could use four low and it didn't shift into neutral when I let off throttle. Very worried about families safety. Please help!

I bought my 2008 jeep commander 4x4 with v8 4.7l, quadra track ii on 8/1/2013. Atp I was told there was a recall on ______________. I service appointment was made and the care was repaired. I soon called the repair shop back and complained of the airbag light being on intermittently, 4x4 service light and parking and brake lights also working intermittently. I was told that these issues were not park of the recall they repaired and to call the dealer I bought the car from. I called automation and was told that my complaints were not in the recall and or under a warranty with them and to pay for a service appointment. I could not afford the services so no go. I still have these issues off and on and just got a service repair recall notice in 9/2010. Like all the others I'm still risking everything each time I drive the only car we own as a family and an waiting for chrysler to make the part available and pray I don't hurt myself my family or another driver, if the system decides to completely fail. Come on get your [xxx] together we need parts and a fix asap!!! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Severe collision with the front end of my vehicle. I was driving at approx 50 MPH when the car ahead suddenly stopped. I applied my brakes and skidded into the other vehicle's rear end. From the skid marks starting at the point of contact my vehicle took approx another 35 feet to stop. I believe my vehicle's speed was 30 MPH. It was a solid hit as my vehicle nose dived and hit bumper to bumper. The rear of the other vehicle's bumper was forced down to the ground and gouged the pavement. My vehicle then continued to crush in the entire rear of the car and my hood struck the rear window. The other car then traveled about 50 feet further resting upon a telephone pole. I believe that the impact was severe and of sufficient speed that the air bags and or the seat belt retractors should have engaged. I was seat belted in at the time of the impact but still received a minor concussion and whiplash. My vehicle's damage was quite severe and is estimated in excess of $14,000.00. Both frame rails are bent and at the very least the left one will need replacement. The vehicle a, 2008 jeep commander was purchased new by myself in may 2008. All warning lights were off and all systems note no problems. By this I mean that the air bag lamp and seat belt lamp still operate even after the crash. The vehicle was towed to the body shop and await your advise as how to proceed. The vehicle has been appraised by my insurance company, and even their adjuster along with the police, emergency people have all questioned as to why my safety air bags did not deploy. The vehicle has not been disassembled nor has anyone messed with the vehicle before or after the crash.
