I have a 2008 commander that is part of the p57 recall for the ignition switch (9/2014). The switch has totally failed (2/2015). Called all the dealers in my area and nobody has received the parts yet. Called jeep they have no update on when parts are going to be available. They said the best they can do is to put me on a priority list. I asked about trying to get a loaner car (at no cost to me) to use while my jeep is down they said that they couldn't help me out. Looking for suggestions. Down a car now and have no idea when it will be repaired.

The first incident occurred on 27 nov, as we were driving down a 2-lane highway. We were traveling approx. 60 MPH when the jeep made a ?clunk? Sound, suddenly the engine lost power and became difficult to steer. I was able to get the vehicle over to the side of the road, got out and did a quick external check to try and see what was wrong. Nothing appeared to be wrong. I got back in and tried to start the jeep again, and it did start up. We cautiously proceeded back to our hotel and I immediately looked up the nearest jeep dealer to have the vehicle checked for any mechanical problems. The jeep dealer told me that there were no mechanical problems with the jeep, but that there was an open recall for problems with the ignition switch. The tech told me that the ignition switch on our jeep was loose, which could allow it to slip from the on position to the acc position which would cause the engine to stop while driving. They said there were no parts available yet to fix the problem. They advised that we remove all key chains from the key, but there was nothing else they could do. Just two days later, on 29 nov, we had another dangerous incident. This time, we were on the middle lane of a 3-lane interstate. We were traveling at approx. 70 MPH when I again heard the loud ?clunk?, the vehicle suddenly lost engine power and became difficult to steer. I immediately put the hazard lights on and tried to get off the highway. We were extremely lucky that there was no vehicle in the lane to the right of us, as I could barely get the jeep off the highway onto the shoulder. If another vehicle would have been close behind us or coming up on the right of us, we would surely have been rear ended. I have contacted both my local jeep dealership and the chrysler corporation regarding a solution to this problem with no assistance from either.

2008 jeep commander. Consumer writes in regards to unintended change in ignition switch position while driving. * tgw the consumer stated the incident happened twice. The dealer concluded the win module needed to be replaced.
My 2008 jeep commander will not start. I still have power to my radio, power locks and seats, lights work. The battery and alternator have both been checked and are running fine. The truck will start if it is jumped. I have been doing some research and I have found many people with the same issues. Turns out it is the solenoid wire which apparently has poor weather proofing and corrodes after some time. Now I need to bring it in and pay for this fix out of pocket so that I have a source of transportation for my family. There really needs to be a recall on this issue, seeing as how there are so many people having the same problem. Please refer to this site, where I found all this information. Thank you http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f67/help-2008-commander-wont-start-chronic-issue-1107823/.

My jeep won't start. Battery is good, lights ect...come on but it doesn't make a sound. Has happened multiple times and now it won't start again. I've seen that this has happened to many people and seems to be a corrosion issue with some wires? This needs to be fixed! I have been stranded many times.
My car- I was able start it twice after a few simple test.- I made sure the battery cable/terminals were tight, I turned everything off, and I then cut it off. On the 3rd time it did nothing. No dash light radio, no A/C, windows not working. The headlights and interior lights work so battery is fine. The key will lock or unlock the doors. The starter works.
The rear passenger side window motor went out. When I looked it up on the www it showed a lot of same problems with this year.
My car started twice and then cut off. After the 3rd time it did nothing. No dash light radio or anything will work. The headlights and interior lights work so battery is fine. The key will not lock or unlock the doors.
Ignition was very loose and would even start with just touching the key without turning it. Would also turn off with just a touch of the key. It soon got to the point where it was not making connection and would not start from time to time. Which stranded me and my family several times far from home. After changing many things on the jeep I decided to take it on a family vacation where it would not start and we had to have it towed back home took it to the dealership and they said it was the ignition module which they replaced for $600. The jeep is running great now. And I am not afraid to drive it anymore. It sat in the garage here at home for months and I thought about trading it in but I did not want someone else to get stuck or hurt from it.
