He stated that the problem was "not" part of the recall, and the module itself was bad and that the "switch itself is the part being recalled." when I questioned him on this after I found online that a woman in chicago had experienced the same issue. I was instructed I could contact chrysler assistance line to see if the item was covered under the recall and he would also check with the service manager but that never happened when I spoke with the service manager he had no knowledge of who I was...after 9 days of the vehicle being in there possession it was repaired and was charged a total of $608.99 not including the cost of rental for the 9 days.

I was dirving and lost all power to the vehicle. The engine stopped, no power steering and no power brake. The managed with much difficulty to safely pull the vehicle to the side of the road and re-start it. This is the second time this has happened in the last 2 months. It creates a very dangerous situation and is a major saftey issue as it is nearly impossible to turn or stop the vehicle.

This jeep has two problems. As I was traveling on a highway, the jeep shut itself off. It happened only once, but I am concerned about a repeated issue.report receipt date february 6, 2008, the federal safety agency campaign number #08v059000.. The second problem I am having which is on recall, is the ignition. Once I place the key in the ignition, after parking the jeep, the jeep will go to the off position, but the key can not be removed from the ignition. Report receipt date september 17, 2014, the federal safety agency campaign number#14v56700. I own a 2008 jeep commander, VIN # [xxx]. I have made several attempts to remedy the problem by calling chrysler, who did acknowledge the problem, but never got back to me, and I called the dealership where I purchased the jeep, but because my VIN number doesn't match the recall list, they refuse to recognize the problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While attempting to start my 08 jeep commander it was completely dead. I had it taken to the dealership and they told me that it was the ignition switch and key fob. When all was said and done it cost me over $300 for the repair. I have seen that recall p57 was active on jeep commanders from manufacture dates of 5-12-08 and earlier, my manufacture date is 5-16-08. This seems to be awfully close to the recall date to not be include especially since mine was for the same issue.

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!
