2008 jeep commander, engine would repeatedly shut down while driving. It would happened at all speeds, from pulling out to driving on the highway. I received the safety recall p57/the federal safety agency 14v‑567 over six months ago which stated "chrysler is making every effort to provide the part as quickly as possible". This is an extremely dangerous problem that could end up killing somebody if it hasn't already. It is unacceptable that chrysler can operate in this manner and take this long to fix the problem. It appears they could care less about the customers safety and that they are not taking the recall seriously.

On 1 may 2015 I drove my 2008 jeep commander on errands, making several stops. Returning to the vehicle after my last errand, it refused to start when the ignition key was properly inserted and turned. After several attempts and noticing that the dashboard indicator lights, interior lights, headlights and electric windows all functioned properly, I concluded there was a starter or alternator problem. I had the tow truck operator attempt to jump the vehicle just in case it was the battery, which it was not, and was subsequently towed 30 miles home at the cost of $175. The next morning, I wondered if something could be amiss with the electronic key fob. I tried the spare key and the car started immediately. I then tried my original key again and the car also started. We did receive a ignition switch recall notice from chrysler in the fall of 2014 that indicated we would be notified when parts became available, so I called their 1-800 number for an update. Chrysler cannot provide any specific time frame for when the replacement parts will be available. The only thing they will do is add your email to the "special notification list" so that you will receive an email when the parts are available rather than waiting for a physical letter to arrive via usps. I now have to drive this vehicle knowing that it could shut down while I am driving and cause an accident - presumably with disabled air bags due to the ignition being "off" - or strand me by not starting. As a biologist, I do research in some pretty inaccessible places, so this is a huge safety issue for me. Chrysler should be compelled to engineer a fix and make it available now!
I was notified of the manufacturer recall late 2014, I took it to the local dealership at that time and was advised that they did not have the parts in and that they would be in at some point this year. I asked what the actual risk was they explained the biggest risk was associated with the engine shutting off while driving and was advised to remove my keys off of my key fobs. On april 9, 2015, I parked my car turned the ignition off and then realize that there was a window down. At that point I attempted to restart the car to roll up the window and there was no power. After having the car towed to a local shop and being told they couldn't bring up anything on the computer because the electrical system was shut down, the vehicle was transported to local dealership where they identified that the win module or the wireless ignition node was defective. Now, I have been without a vehicle since that time and they are reporting that the replacement parts will be expected around may 14 of this year however ever since april 16, I have been getting different dates every single time I talk to the dealership. I believe chrysler has exceeded a fair amount of time to replace this since they knew about it in the summer of 2014 and they have failed to provide a quality replacement part for their product. I have been in contact with both the local dealership and the 1-800 number for chrysler(888) 327-4236 and they continue to pass me around and inform me that I'm welcome to rent-a-car and have been offered the dealerships discount. Further, they report that they are not sure when the replacement parts will be available but I will be notified as soon as they are.

Recall notices p57 & k06 , the vehicle refuses to start and throws an error message stating that the keys are not programmed or inserted wrong. I know the p57 involves the ignition but does not cover the symptoms that I am experiencing. But , why should I take the vehicle in to repair one problem until the parts for the other problem are available. I have been checking every month since the recall was issued in august 2014 and they are still unavailable. This situation has left me with a borrowed vehicle and disgusted. Just how long does and will it take for the recall parts to become available ? Also there is a recall on the side airbags from 2010 !! That still states parts unavailable !! Really !?!?! 5 years and no parts ???

More than once our jeep commander, while driving on the street or at highway speeds, has turned off on its own. When the car turns off you lose nearly all braking and steering power. Luckily no one has been hurt, yet. This seems to be related to the recent jeep ignition recall, yet no part is available to actually fix this problem. Because this problem is potentially life threatening, we have no choice but to discontinue use of the car which means we were forced to buy another car until our jeep can be fixed.

I have had the ignition fobik replaced at my own cost prior to this recall. Do I get this reimbursed since I am now having the same issue? This is my only vehicle-what do I do when the jeep just stops working?you really need to get on this problem, I have had the key stuck in the ignition, switch to the off position (which shuts everything down) going down the road and from time to time-car will not recognize the fobik and will not start. Thanks for your time.

In jan 2015 our key fob got stuck in the ignition of our 2008 jeep commander. A day later,we were able to free it. On 2/19/15 it would not start and we had to have it jump started twice. Once started it drove without issues for 3 days. Then on 2/23/15, the jeep would not start and the key fob got stuck in the ignition. The jeep could not move and could not be taken out of park. The only thing that worked were the lights. We tried to jump start the vehicle and tried everything we could think of to release the key from the ignition. The fob would not release so we had to have the jeep towed to the dealership where we purchased it. The mechanic tested the jeep (battery tested fine). They called chrysler to see if they had any parts to fix the issue and discovered that the issue with our jeep was a faulty ignition. The mechanic got the fob released from the ignition by unplugging the battery. He could not guarantee how long this would work. We called the recall hotline and confirmed our jeep commander was listed on recall p57. However, chrysler has no fix at this time. The hotline advised us to get a hold of a chrysler dealership and get a rental car free of charge through them until the jeep could be fixed (at an unknown future date). The local chrysler dealership refused to give us a rental and said they could not look at the jeep for a few weeks. On 2/28 the jeep would not start again so we had to purchase a new battery (at our expense). Because of the p57 ignition recall we are worried that we have an unreliable vehicle and that it could also stall while driving and cause an accident with injury or death. We feel unsafe in the jeep! We want chrysler to fix these unsafe ignitions immediately and in the meantime provide us free alternative transportation and reimbursement for our expenses.
