After application of the n23 software flash, 4wd low is no longer available. When attempting to shift in 4wd low, the only reactions is a service 4wd message. The dealership nor chrysler/jeep will assume responsibility for breaking the final drive and want to charge exorbitant fees for troubleshooting.

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!

Left car on but in "park" as we pumped gas. About a minute into pumping gas, the car lunged forward a few inches then came to a stop automatically.

I had jeep recall n23 performed on my jeep commander 2008 4x4. After the recall was performed my 4wd system no longer works and flashes the warning "service 4wd system". This is very frustrating and I had no problems until jeep performed the recall on my vehicle.

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.

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 !!!!!
