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).
Chrysler has a recall out for faulty ignition switches. The recall notices were issued in sept 2014. It is now mid dec and there are no parts and no remedy for this when in contact with chrysler directly. On the recall it states that the engine can stop due to electrical failure w/in the veh with out notice as well as the power steering can be lost and or the braking all of which increase your crash potential. There is also warning that the air bags can deploy w/o warning causing bodily harm to both the driver and passengers. They are aware there is an issue and state they still have done nothing to resolve - inexcusable!!!
Previously owned jeep commander was purchased from a chrysler dealership in 2012. Since then we have had unusually short battery life: the battery in the car has had to be replaced 2 times in the past two years (warrantied 3 year battery life from manufacturer). Additionally, the car has failed to start atleast 5 times in the past two years. The battery power will be fine, but the ignition will refuse to engage(no clicking sound.) if another battery is hooked up to the engine, it will start just fine without any waiting period to charge battery since the car's battery will still be fully charged. Today the engine wouldn't turn over at all and we finally brought the car to the dealership for them figure out what is going on since we weren't able to jump the engine this time. We have taken the car into the dealership before, and the technicians were unable to identify any problem, so it shouldn't be a broken or worn down part(especially since we've been having this problem since the 60,000/4 year old mark). Additionally, the car will not display any fault messages, so it either can't sense the ignition problem, or hasn't been program to understand there are power anomalies in the starter/ignition system.
Ignition switch failure. Latest recall includes 2008 called and does not include my vehicle. I thought this nightmare was finally over. Since shortly after purchase has been occurring. Completely loses all power-steering, breaking..everything completely shuts down. Has occurred in 80 MPH traffic in downtown atlanta, on a railroad track (due to bump) in the middle of a busy interaction, speeding up to make a left turn into traffic etc. Took everything off key and did no good except made me lose my extra key this vehicle is a death trap. I owe 18k+ and can't drive it or I risk my life and the life of my children. Was rear ended twice within a month so I gave up an stopped driving.
2008 jeep commander 4x4 loses all power at high speeds taken back to reedman-toll dealership x2 in april 2014 and aug 2014, and they cannot identify problem. Reedman told us gas cap could cause engine light to go on, or win module, which was replaced once, may need to be replaced because key chain is too heavy (cannot have multiple keys on chain) and may need tune up. It s soo scary and dangerous now we see there have been numerous complaints filed. Is this caused by the camshaft position sensor? Is there a recall? At. 50-60 MPH the engine with hesitate and stalls out at high speeds and require a shift into neutral to restart. All power is lost: steering and brakes! ....... Manufacturer: chrysler group llc vehicle identification no. (VIN): [xxx]... Summary: my vehicle stalled over 5 times in first 10 minutes of operation. Once I got to 50-60 MPH the engine with hesitate and stall out at high speeds and require a shift into neutral to restart. This has been a consistent issue with my jeep commander since the day I purchased it in 2012. I have had the vehicle in to jeep/chrysler on 4 different occasions and they have never found the issue. I had to leave my vehicle with naperville chrysler/jeep/ram/dodge on friday 6/20 because it was not drivable and dangerous. They determined that it was the camshaft position sensor. I have read that 100's if not 1000's of jeep owners have had similar issues and to date no recall or fix. Shame on chrysler, somebody will be injured because this issue.

I had trouble getting my key out of the ignition and had to move the gear shift back and forth until the key would turn completely off and finally come out. I locked my car and went into my home. I later went out to go to the store. I unlocked my car via keyless entry without difficulty. I put the key in the ignition and it will not turn over. I went and bought batteries for my key fobs thinking that would fix the problem and it did not. My jeep which is my only transportation is stuck in my drive way.

Commander would not restart after driving and stopping for 20 minutes. Got it restarted next morning then wouldn't restart until jiggled the gearshifter in neutral. Brought to dealer who replaced front control module ($ 900). Got car and worked for a couple days then it happened again. Brought back to dealer who replaced the ignition. Same problem happened yesterday but today after sitting for 5 hours would not restart. Seems like a common issue that needs to be addressed by manufacture.
Driving at speed on a parkway, the car engine stalled out. Lost all electrical (radio, speedometer, tach, etc.) and was able to pull off to side of the road. Brakes and steering worked, but not ps. Car started back up with turn of ignition. This is the second instance of this happening, first one was about 2 years ago but don't have info. I happened to pay closer attention this time given recent history of ignition recalls.
After have recall n23 applied, 4wd system failed to engage. Dealer charged me and replaced transfer case actuator. 4wd system failed a month later, dealer states vehicle needs another transfer case actuator. Seems like this recall caused damage to system.
The fob is a engineering design flaw. I now have to buy my 3rd one since I bought the car because it doesn't work properly will not lock the doors now. I have tried 2 batteries but this doesn't solve the problem.this is my 4th complaint since last year.
Have had multiple issues with jeep stalling. For 2 years now it has randomly stalled after passing over large uneven surfaces in road. Have taken in to chrysler jeep facilities and was told nothing could be diagnosed. A new issue is when I am simply driving the vehicle will stall. Having my 3 small children in the car when this happened yesterday was beyond terrifying. Someone is going to be seriously injured or killed with this problem that seems to be a commonality in jeeps. Something needs to be done.
We purchased a 2008 jeep commander on december 15th 2012 and have had an issue with the engine stalling. We will be driving and all of the sudden the vehicle engine dies. Its always restarted but we never know when its going to stall out and die. This happened to my wife yesterday and she didn't know how to react. She almost caused an accident when she tried to exit a busy freeway with no power steering. This is a huge safety issue that I think chrysler needs to address before someone gets killed !!!! I read about this issue online and the problem has been with the front control module. Many jeep commander owners have come fourth with the same issue and chrysler just tells us all the same thing. We didn't recall your specific model so there is nothing we can do or will do. I hope someone actually reads this and helps us out !!! Please don't let all of these complaints just go to a black hole never to be seen again !!! I know I am not as rich as the chrysler ceos and executives who pay people to keep quite about things like this but my life and the lives of my family do matter !!! P-l-e-a-s-e----h-e-l-p !!!!!
On july 21, 2010 my blinkers and dash lights were not functioning. I took the vehicle to the dealership for repair. They replaced the multi-function switch and updated the key fobs per a recall notice. $240.32 charge. On august 24th, 2010 I experienced being locked inside of my vehicle in 100 degree heat. I could not open the windows, doors, or sunroof. The A/C did not function and the dash lights were not functioning. At this time they did something to the control module. Under warranty - no charge. On july 13, 2012 I took it to the dealership because the vehicle was stalling at high rates of speed (it felt like we were being rear-ended), the check engine and other warning lights were illuminating. They reprogrammed the PCM. Under warranty - no charge. On october 4, 2012 I returned to the dealership as the vehicle was again stalling at high rates of speed, and also shutting off at low rates of speed or while idling. The service department was able to reproduce the problem and replaced the powertrain control module. Under warranty - no charge. Today while driving I experienced both stalling at high speeds and the vehicle turning off at low speed. I have another appointment scheduled for tomorrow. My safety and the safety of others is at risk by driving this vehicle.
The vehicle was running stopped at a traffic light when the radio shut off, the windshield wipers engaged, all of the vehicle warning lights lit up in the dash, and power to the windows and door locks were lost as well as the keyless entry. I brought the vehicle straight to the metro jeep dealership in johnston, ri. Where it was diagnosed as the front control module . Later I researched on the internet and found that on february 6th 2008 there was a factory recall of 1338 2008 jeep commanders with the same safety issues and returned for repair. I contacted the dealer and the chrysler corporation and informed them of my situation and was told there was nothing that they could do for me. I would very much like my complaint to be issued and for these matters to be investigated promptly.
I purchased my 2008 jeep commander in may2011, about two weeks after I had the vehicle, I went to start it one day and it would not start. I opened the hood and tested my battery, no problems with it, so I turned the key again and it started. I continued to have this issues every since, sometimes it will go two weeks starting fine and then out of the blue it will not start. The latest incident happened on 14 sept 2011, this was the first time that the vehicle would not start at all (usually when this happens it will start after a few minutes) so on this day I had it towed to a garage, they told me they couldnt find nothing wrong with it, but said maybe you just need a new battery, so I purchased a battery for the jeep installed it and for two days it was great, so I thought ok maybe it has been the battery after all this time. Today 18 sept 2011, it happened again, but this time it started after 5 minutes. I started researching the problem online, and this is when I learned of the recalls for multiple reasons on these vehicles. I live in upstate new york and winter is approaching, I dont want to be stranded with my family somewhere. I just really want to know exactly what is going on before I put money into a never ending problem.
I own a 2008 jeep commander. I bought it on june 2010 the traction light first came on about 3 month after I got it fix at the chrysler dealer were I bought it. Then 3 month later the car was parked then when I tried to put the key to start it nothing I just saw a flicker that said bad key. Had it tow to the dealer ship and they said it was the control modular sensor and had to replace I asked if it was part of the electrical recall they said no now 3 month later my radio has gone out I hope it is not the electrical modular again. I did e-mail the company and they said it was not part of the recall
This 2008 jeep commander 4x4 4.7 liter v8 was just purchased used. The 1st day it stalled at a stop sign. Then stalled at a drive through. The second day the stalling continued including accelerating from a stop sign about 30 MPH. Would turn over but not restart at first, but then I discovered that when cycling the key to off and back on again it would restart instantly. The local jeep dealer has verified the issue occurs, but has had it for 3 weeks with no idea of a resolution. They report being in contact with chryslers star technical support... Again no action or resolution. I discovered the prius owner had vehicle in for the same issue with no resolution. It is just like you turn the key off; no power steering, no power brakes. When searching for information in google... It is appears to be a very common issue, but I can find no resolutions myself.
Driving my 2008 jeep commander on the highway approximately 55mph and the vehicle stalled and the entire electrical system power went out. Had to pull over turn off the vehicle, pull the key out, and restart. Vehicle resumed normal operation. *tr I have experienced many times since I purchased the vehicle in 2008 where my electrical system failed, and one previous occurrence where the engine stalled and the electrical system failed, but on those occurrences the vehicle was not in motion. I have taken it into the dealer on numerous occasions since 2008 and described the problem with feedback from the dealer that there was no recall for my vehicle and that they could not duplicate the symptoms I was experiencing. Investigated on and noticed the issue, campaign id number 08v059000. This campaign almost exactly describes the issue I am experiencing. However it states that they only recalled 1338 vehicles in 2008, and mine was obviously not one of them. The dealer should atleast know of the issue and/or I should be notified by chrysler, which I was not.
While driving, pulled to red light and stopped. 2008 jeep commander with the v6 shut down, lost all power. Key would not disengage, totally locked up. Called for roadside and after fifteen minutes, turned key and jeep started. Drove to dealership. They found nothing on the onboard computer but tightened the battery cables and replaced the key fobs. As this is a commuter vehicle and it seems this problem has happened with other jeep commanders while going at speeds up to 50 MPH. I'm very concerned that this is an issue that should be resolved, before someone gets hurt.
While driving the wipers and lights turned on, but all other electrical stopped working. All gauges were off including turn indicators, speedometer, and odometer. Very scary.
Vehicle has rolled back 3 times on its own after being started while trans was still in park. Dealer claims there is no problem to be found. Child safety latch on door has failed. Power window repeatedly goes up and down. Instrument panel lights up completely while driving. Four wheel drive system comes on when not needed and stays on. Squeak in right rear suspension. Other work has been done on vehicle that I can document. Vehicle has approx. 8,450 miles.
Electrical system faulty on 07 jeep commander. Also known as the "stall bug".
On numerous occassions our 2008 jeep commander overland will not start. I'll insert the key fob into the slot, turn, and then nothing happens. Usually after a few attempts the truck will start. (the dealership currently has the truck and still is unable to resolve or isolate the problem).
While driving through a commercial shopping area in cranston, rhode island, our 2008 jeep commander overland stalled while driving. My wife was able to coast off of the road out of traffic next to the side of the street. The truck restarted after a few minutes.
