ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE REPLACEMENT DOES NOT CURE THE PROBLEMS THAT IT WAS MEANT TO FIX. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED AT 9:30AM AND THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THAT DAY,IT DID THE SAME EXACT SHUTDOWN AS IT DID BEFORE (WITH ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHING).THE STALLING AND SHUTDOWN DOES NOT OCCUR BECAUSE OF HITTING THE KEY WITH YOUR LEG AS I AM ONLY 5'4" AND MY LEG DOESN'T TOUCH THE IGNITION. THE SHUTDOWN OCCURS BECAUSE OF A SHORT SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE IGNITION. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY AND SOMETIMES CAN BE STOPPED BY LIGHTLY TURNING THE KEY TO THE LEFT. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT THE SHUTDOWN OCCURS AT EXTREME FREQUENCY WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN OR EXTREMELY SLUSHY ROADS, WHICH TELLS ME THAT SOMEWHERE, SOMETHING IS GETTING WET AND SHORTING THE VEHICLE OUT. IT IS VERY HARD TO GET THE LIGHTS TO STOP FLASHING IN THIS TYPE OF WEATHER AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER A COUPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC. I AM STUCK WITH THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF MY FINANCIAL SITUATION AND HAVE FOUGHT FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT BY THE DEALER STARTING 20 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT BUT OF COURSE NOTHING WAS DONE UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT GOT INVOLVED AND SADLY IT STILL HASN'T CURED THE PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU RECEIVE MORE COMPLAINTS AND MAKE THE DEALERSHIP CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE RIGHT WAY.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,[XXX] 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *BF

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY JEEP UPON BEING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN THE RIGHT LANE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN TO THE POINT OF STALLING AND I HAD TO BRING THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BEGAN SHUTTING IT OFF WHEN COINCIDENTLY THE THE LIGHT WENT ON IN THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND MY HEADLIGHT DIMMED. I CALLED THE JEEP PLACE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY DIAGNOISED THE CAR AND DID A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH AND TOLD ME THE POWERTRAIN TRANSFER CASE IS BAD AND THERMOSTAT LEAKING FROM THE HOUSING AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILED. I HAVE NEVER USED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AS I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE CAR AT THE END OF APRIL AND OWN IT FOR JUST 7 MONTHS. THEY SAID IT WILL COST ME OVER $750.00 DOLLARS TO BE FIXED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED HOWEVER ON YOUR WEB SITE NHTSA CAMPAIN# 13V175000 SEEMS TO APPLY TO MY DIAGNOISED PROBLEMS. I LOVE MY CAR BUT THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND NOT SOMETHING THAT I HAVE DONE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THIS CAR CONSTANTLY MAINTAINED AT EXECUTIVE JEEP IN NORTH HAVEN CT. I WANT MY CAR FIXED AT CHRYSLER'S COST NOT MINE. I DRIVE MY CAR WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN IT AND NOW FEEL IT IS UNSAFE.. PLEASE HELP ME. I HAVE ALL RECORDS FOR THE CAR AND THE DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION SHOULD YOU NEED IT. I ALSO HAVE HOWARD THE MANAGER AT JEEP PHONE #.
