Takata recall my jeep commander has been nothing but trouble since I purchased it I have had all the recalls done by my local jeep dealership and still have to constantly replace wheel speed (ABS) sensors and reprogram the computer. At low speeds off aproxamitly 15-20 MPH I loose power like the vehicle is trying to starve itself from fuel affecting accelerate so if you pull out into a intersection it practically dies and the. When you go to brake the pedal gets hard and the vehicle keeps rolling I have to replace all 4 wheel sensor (ABS) and get computer reprogrammed for it to stop costing hundreds of dollars to do over the time that I have owned the vehicle I have learned to perform such task on my own . But I am sick and tired of every summer having to buy 4 50 dollar sensors and getting charged 125 dollars to redo the computer and not to mention when the jeep decides to act up it put my child and mother to my child in serious danger never knowing when it will misfunction again and like many others I am upside down on the payments of the vehicle due to all the money invested.

I purchased my jeep commander on february 12, 2014. A week after I purchased it my check light came on so I took it back to the dealership. It was for my catalytic converter. The people in the garage stated it was just a sensor and not to worry about it I told them to fix it while it was still covered under my warranty. They wouldn't. The next day all of the dome lights and dashboard lights in my truck started flickering while driving down the road. (still does it to this day). Soon after my brakes went out on me while driving down the road with my kids so I had to get the calipers and everything changed. Next it was the windows they all stopped working. The end of january 2015, while driving down the road again with my children, all of the lug nuts and bolts fell off of my tire rear passenger side tire. I ended up calling the tow truck and took it back to the dealership where I bought it. $2500 and two weeks later I get my truck back, have it for a day & it starts jerking on my way to work. They fixed everything that had to do with my tires and suspension. They also inform me I need my catalytic converter changed after they told me not to worry about it it's just the sensor acting funny. (it could've been fixed when I asked them to do it while it was covered under my warranty) now my lights start flashing my wheel speed sensors aren't working and is messing with my ABS system and traction. They just tell me to shut the traction off while I'm driving it should fix the problem. I end up taking it back in the shop. A month later I'm driving home from work and my serpentine belt busts and I lose control of my truck. Another $500 dollar job. Present day, my truck is back in the shop for a routine brakes and rotors fix and they call and say I need my outer tirods fixed and rear axle something. I've put more money into this truck than I've paid for it in the past year.

The vehicle randomly shuts off. The dash gauges flicker and/or go off for a brief time. If breaks are engaged at that time, ABS stops. If headlights are on auto, they turn off. If turning a hard left or right (such as turning into a driveway, turning on to a street, parking) power steering stops working. If the lights are on but not on auto the lights stay on. The radio stays on. These symptoms would indicate that there is a problem with the ignition switch. When this issue occurs, it seems to stop by pushing on the key. This has happened multiple times. After visiting this page, a log will be created to record date, time, and speed. This is a huge safety issue. After much research many users of internet forums for jeeps, complain about this issue (reference urls can be provided). The federal safety agency campaign number: 14v047000 sounds very similar in nature. Could the federal safety agency look in to the parts being the same?

On june 25, 2012 while driving w/b on i10 on my way to a appointment in baldwin park, ca. My vehicle started acting violently, dash board cluster warning lights flickering, stalling, steering and ABS not responding normally. Pulling off the highway I called my husband immediately I told him there is a serious safety issues with the car the need to be fixed. My husband analyzed the car with a hand held device which gave him a manufacturer code of "u1411". He drove on surface streets to the local dealer service for diagnostic, no problems were found? Everything was fine? Driving it home the issue continued? My husband rediagnosed the issues and it seems to be a "faulty ignition switch" that needs to be addressed! Vehicle will shut-off on its own at any time!

I was getting off on an exit with a slight incline. I had my foot slightly on the break to decelerate. The car jerked and the traction control and ABS lights came on. The roads were dry. There was no reason for the traction control and ABS to turn on. The lights remained on. It felt as if someone put their foot on the breaks quickly. After I arrived at my location I turned the car off. When I restarted the car the lights were off. I contacted my service center. They had me bring in the car. They re-flashed to correct the codes.
