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.

I recently had an issue where after driving my vehicle, going into a bank and returning to start my car, the vehicle did not start. I tried repeatedly to start the vehicle but nothing worked. Finally it started again at an auto shop and then turned off and we tried to start it again, but it would not start. The battery was tested as well as the starter. There were no issues with either or the components associated with starting the vehicle. However, after my independent mechanic starting searching for recalls he noticed there was a recall on the front control module and said to call chrysler. I called and only 1338 vehicles were "qualified" for this part recall. My vehicle is not part of that recall but the issue at hand is the culprit of a defective front control module. Recall id # 71686 - visibility:windshield wiper/washer summary: chrysler is recalling 1,338 my 2008 jeep grand cherokee and commander vehicles. The front control module may have been incorrectly manufactured. Consequences: this could cause the engine to stall while driving or not to start and/or cause the windshield wipers to become inoperative. Engine stalling or inoperative wipers could cause a crash without warning.

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.
