2008 Jeep Commander Complaint Log

THIS NOTE, IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. OTHER INCIDENTS REPORTED BACK IN SUMMER 2014 (REPORTED TO NHTSA). ON OCTOBER 16, 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:35PM MY ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY (I-94) IN MI WHILE GOING ABOUT 70 MPH. ALL GAUGES ON DASHBOARD WHEN TO ZERO. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND STOP THE CAR. PLEASE NOTE, I HAD A 5 YEAR OLD AND A 4 YEAR OLD WITH ME IN THE CAR. I LET CAR SIT FOR COUPLE MINUTES THEN RESTARTED. SOME MODELS OF THE 2008 JEEP COMMANDER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH; HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THIS MODEL STILL HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED.

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL IN THE FALL OF 2014. THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO REPAIR. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS AND A FEW MORE CALLS STILL NO PARTS. I THEN RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL SAFETY RECALL ON THE SAME DEFECT AND CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIR. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR NOW SINCE THE FIRST NOTICE AND MY QUESTION IS THIS. IS IT A SAFETY RECALL OR NOT?

SEAT BELT ALARM IS MALFUNCTIONING. EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT BELT IS BUCKLED, THE ALARM CONSTANTLY GOES OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND A HIGHWAY.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHOWING THE AIRBAG LIGHT SINCE I PURCHASED IT. FIRST THEY REPLACED THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER TRYING TO GUESS PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT FIX IT BUT IT WENT AWAY FOR A WHILE. NOW THEY BELIEVE THEY FOUND TRUE PROBLEM AND IT'S THE CLOCK SPRING. I BELIEVE THE ITEM WAS DEFECTIVE SINCE NEW PURCHASE AND NOW IT COMPLETELY GO BAD. I HAVE NO AIRBAGS AND I'M DRIVING AROUND BAD BECAUSE JEEP INSTALLED A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING ON MY 08 JEEP. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON 07 JEEPS BUT MY 08 IS NOT PART OF IT. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ADD OUR 08 JEEPS COMMANDER TO THAT LIST.

MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER SPORT 4X4 HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE. I PARKED THE JEEP, BUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I COME BACK 3 HOURS LATER MY CAR DOES NOT START. I WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK MY CAR BY USING THE REMOTE, AND THE LIGHTS TURNED ON WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. I PUT THE KEY IN TURNED IT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MAKE A SINGLE NOISE, AND "DAMAGED KEY" PROMPTS ON THE DASH AND QUICKLY DISAPPEARS. I NEEDED TO MOVE MY CAR SO I WAS ABLE TO GET A JUMP BC OF THE POSITION THE CAR WAS IN. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME.

AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, WHETHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY, EVENTUALLY STAYING ON MOST OF THE TIME. PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING IT WOULD GO OFF THEM IMMEDIATELY COME ON AND CHIME. TOOK TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT WAS FAULTY AND WOULD NOT DEPLOY THE AIR BAG IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL AS WELL AS RECALLS FOR 2007 TO 2010 JEEP WRANGLERS WHICH HAVE THE SAME STEERING SYSTEM. CLOCK SPRING WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED BY DEALER FOR A SIGNIFICANT COST, CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE BEEN THE OWNER OF 2008 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED EDITION FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IT WAS MY DREAM TRUCK.. HOWEVER IT HAS NOW BECOME MY BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF KILLING ME AND MY CHILDREN. THIS TRUCK RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF DURING HIGH SPEEDS, DOESNT ALLOW ME BREAK SOMETIMES FOR READ LIGHTS AND PUT MY LIFE AT RISK DAILY WHEN I DRIVE. I HAVE CONTINUALLY CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND HEADQUARTER ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS MY TRUCK HAS BECOME. I HAVE MISSED COUNTLESS DAYS OF WORK AND BE LEFT STRANDED WHEN THE ENGINE WONT TURN OVER. I HAVE BEGGED FOR HELP AND NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE. WILL IT TAKE A ME BEING KILLED OR HURTING ANOTHER FOR SOME TO FINALLY HELP. THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THE RECALL IGNITION PIECE ISNT IN AND THAT THEY CANT HELP ME. I'M AT RISK OF LOSING MY JOB BECAUSE THE TRUCK I PAY FOR MONTHLY ISNT SAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO TURN OFF AS THE KEY REMAINED IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FOBIK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES I SHUT VEHICLE OFF CAME OUT TO START 2 MINUTES LATER VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER WAITING FOR ROAD SERVICE ABOUT HALF HOUR VEHICLE STARTED WITHOUT ANY ASSISTANCE. ALL LIGHTS,GAUGES AND WINDOWS WORKED AS THEY SHOULD. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AFTER THAT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THERE WAS NO POWER TO ANY SYSTEM. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. *TR THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING.

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! *TR

WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE INTO PARK IT WILL NOT LET ME TURN IT ALL THE WAY OFF AN RELEASE MY KEY. IT KEEPS IT IN THE ACC POSITION OR THE BATTERY ON POSITION. BUT THE ENGINE DOES TURN OFF. I THEN HAVE TO WAIT FOR A CLICK THEN I CAN RELEASE MY KEY. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND MOVE THE SHIFTER AROUND A FEW TIMES THEN TURN THE VEHICLE BACK OFF TO GET IT TO CLICK TO RELEASE MY KEY. THE DEALER SAID IT'S AN ELECTRONIC PROBLEM. MY STARTER CYLINOID IS GOING OUT. AND I HAVE TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW PART AND IT COMES WITH NEW KEYS. IT'S GOING TO COST $650 TO FIX IT.

IT HAPPENED ONLY ONCE, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A REPEATED ISSUE.REPORT RECEIPT DATE FEBRUARY 6, 2008, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER #08V059000..

REPORT RECEIPT DATE SEPTEMBER 17, 2014, NHTSA 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 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 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.
