THIS JEEP COMMANDER WAS SITTING AT THE GAS STATION AFTER DRIVING IT HOME 30 MILES. UPON IGNITION OF ENGINE, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSIVES SOUND, THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE A BUCKET OF BOLTS. I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION IMMEDIATELY, THEN GOT IT TOWED HOME UNTIL I GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR REQUIRES A NEW ENGINE. THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR CASES TO MY STORY, AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS A MAJOR FAILURE DUE TO FAULTY ENGINE COMPONENTS. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE LAUNCHED. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME FAILURE, IF NOT ON THIS SITE, THAN ON OTHER JEEP COMMANDER FORUM SITES. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC THAT THERE IS AM BAD PART IN THE CYLINDER #8 THAT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING IMMEDIATE FAILURE UPON RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THERE ARE OVER 1500 COMPLAINTS FOR TH SAME PROBLEM AND NO ONE HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON AN EXPRESSWAY IN CENTRAL MICHIGAN, I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 75 MPH. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, LEAVING MY JEEP "DEAD IN THE HIGHWAY". I WAS ABLE TO STEER AND BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER, LUCKILY WITHOUT INCIDENT. TURNED THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND WAITED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE "ON" POSITION AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE AT A CONSIDERABLY SLOWER SPEED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A REST STOP. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I FOUND A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. IT SHOWED A MAF SENSOR GONE BAD. MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED. HOPING THAT WAS THE ISSUE, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, MY FAMILY AND I HEADED BACK HOME ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATE. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL, THERE WERE NO ISSUES. I FIGURED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS WRONG. AS I REACHED THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, I ACCELERATED TO 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. AS SOON AS I BROKE THE 70 MPH POINT, THE CAR MECHANICALLY STALLED AGAIN AS I WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE BUSY HIGHWAY. AGAIN, LUCKILY, I MADE IT SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTARTED. I WAS ABLE TO EXCEED 70 MPH ON THE WAY HOME WITHOUT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. CONCERNED FOR MY PREGNANT WIFE, TODDLER SON, AND MY OWN SAFETY, AS THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED; WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUNDS. *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CRACK AND BREAK: THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD TRAP FOR MANY CONSUMER BECAUSE YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR IN AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS COMPLAINT SINCE THIS VEHICLE CAME OUT ON THE MARKET SEVERAL HUNDRED AND SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. ONLY HAVING THE CONSUMER FIX IT THEIR SELF WHICH IS VERY COSTLY TO FIX. MY DEALER SHOP QUOTED ME 500.00 PER DOOR AND I HAVE 2 THAT ARE BADLY CRACKED AND BROKEN : PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL ON THE DOOR HANDLES AND THINK OF THE SAFELY OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN . THIS HAPPENS BY JUST OPENING A DOOR DUE TO POOR PRODUCT SELECT ON THE MANUFACTURER.

BRAKING TO APPROACH A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION THE BRAKES FELT MUSHY FOLLOWED BY COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I WAS STOPPED IN THE INSIDE LANE OF A 4-LANE HWY AT AN INTERSECTION WITHOUT POWER!.

I AM INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE I THINK THAT WAITING OVER A YEAR, AND WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT, IS A BIT RIDICULOUS AND I DONT WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC. PLEASE ADVICE ME AS TO WHAT MY NEXT STEP SHOULD BE.

BELOW IS WHAT I SENT TO JEEP. I HAVE THEIR RESPONDENTS IN MY EMAIL. I CAN PROVED AS REQUESTED. THIS CORRESPONDENCE IS TO DOCUMENT MY CONCERN WITH THE SAFETY OF MY JEEP COMMANDER; YEAR 2006, MAKE LTD, VIN [XXX]. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE TO MALFUNCTION. EXAMPLES OF THESE EPISODES ARE THE FOLLOWING: THE A/C CUTTING IN AND OUT, THE DASHBOARD FLICKERING ON AND OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER FLICKERING RADICALLY UP AND DOWN, THE AUDIO CENTER TURNING ON AND OFF, HEADLIGHTS TO FLICKER, THE TURNING SIGNALS TO NOT CORRECTLY OPERATE.? I RECENTLY REPLACED THE AUDIO UNIT BECAUSE THE MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE UNIT TO BLOW. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 2012; INITIALLY THE OCCURRENCES WERE RARE BUT HAVE BEEN INCREASING IN CONSISTENCE AND ESCALATING SINCE THEN.I TRIED ADDRESSING THE ISSUE ON 6.12.2012 AT CHAPMAN SCOTTSDALE AUTOPLEX.THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I TRIED READDRESSING 05.01.2014 AT CHAPMAN SCOTTSDALE AUTOPLEX. I HAVE INCURRED DIRECT COST OF APPROXIMATELY $275 AND HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT. CHAPMAN SCOTTSDALE AUTOPLEX IS STATING THAT I NEED TO REPLACE A DIMMER SWITCH FOR A COST OF $229.00. I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT IS WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND NEITHER IS THE DEALERSHIP. I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT ROYAL GATE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, INC. ON 04.24.2009. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS A MATTER THAT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD ADDRESS AND RESOLVE. THESE OCCURRENCES ARE NOT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ITEMS. I WOULD PREFER TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER WITHOUT FILING A FORMAL CORRESPONDENCE TO NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. I WILL BE PROVIDING A COPY OF THIS CORRESPONDENCE TO MY ATTORNEY [XXX] & FOR RECORD PURPOSES. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS CORRESPONDENCE WITHIN SEVEN BUSINESS OF RECEIPT. I LOOK FORWARD TO RESOLVING THIS MATTER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
