ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
OFTEN MY WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL FLASH ON AND OFF AND HAS SINCE JAN 2009. THREE TIMES SINCE MARCH OF LAST YEAR VEHICLE HAS TURNED ITS SELF OFF WHILE DRIVING (COMPLETE STEERING LOSS), FORTUNATELY AT LOW SPEED. ALSO, IN 2010 ( I HAVE REPAIR RECEIPT) MY TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WENT OUT. I HAD TO PAY A $200 COPAY PER REQUEST OF JEEP TO HAVE IT REPLACED, AFTER MUCH ARGUMENT. THEY SAID MY PARTICULAR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL, AS WAS ALL OTHER FAILING PARTS INCLUDED ON 2006 COMMANDER RECALLS, EXCEPTING IGNITION. STILL WAITING ON IGNITION FIX, ITS BEEN A YEAR.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
JUST AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO 30 MPH TO ENTER A PARKING LOT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN ALL LIGHTS FADED AND TURNED OFF. THE AC TURNED OFF AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF. THE CAR STILL CONTINUED DRIVING BUT THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE, CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE AND JOLT MID TURN. THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING AS THEY NORMALLY WOULD RESULTING IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAD ANY OTHER CAR BEEN CLOSE TO ME AT THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC RIGHT AWAY AND HE TESTED EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY. EVERYTHING WAS FUNCTIONING AT 100% CAPACITY AND HE COULDN'T FIND A REASON FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN FEAR THAT IT WILL BREAK DOWN OR MY FAMILY OR ANOTHER DRIVER.

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS
IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE CAR WAS SHUTTING OFF WHEN I WAS AT STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS, AND MOST SERIOUSLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I WAS NOT SURE AS TO WHY MY CAR WAS DOING THIS. I TRIED EVERYTHING FROM A NEW BATTERY AND COUNTLESS APPOINTMENTS AT MY MECHANIC. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY TYPE OF RECALL ON MY CAR, UNTIL I DID MY OWN PERSONAL RESEARCH. IN MAY OF 2015 I TOOK MY CAR TO A CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP AND RAM DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHEN I COULD ORDER THE PART FOR THE P-41 RECALL ON MY CAR. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE COUNTRY AND THEY WERE NOT SURE OF WHEN IT WOULD ARRIVE. I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS "SAFE" TO DRIVE. I WAS GIVEN A FEW TIPS: SIT FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE STEERING WHEEL SO MY KNEES WERE NOT CLOSE TO THE KEY, HAVE THE CAR KEY ONLY ON A RING BY ITSELF, ALWAYS WEAR MY SEAT BELT, AND AVOID HAVING A FRONT PASSENGER. IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF 4 WEEKS UNTIL I WAS EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND ONE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER GOING ABOUT 65MPH WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, I LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND EVERY SINGLE LIGHT TURNED ON. I HAD TO RESORT TO PULLING THE E-BRAKE WHICH DID NOT HELP SLOW MY CAR DOWN. THIS WAS THE MOST SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS INCIDENT, LUCKILY WE DID NOT GET HURT, OR HURT ANYONE ELSE. AS A RESULT, I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THE SAME INFORMATION THAT THE PART WAS NOT ABLE TO BE ORDERED AND GIVEN THE SAME TIPS. I REQUESTED A RENTAL FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER. IT TOOK ME 2 WEEKS TO FINALLY RECEIVE A RENTAL. I HAVE HAD A RENTAL FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS NOW AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP, BY PULLING THE E-BRAKE IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $1600 TO FIX. I DO NOT FEEL AS IF I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR, CONSIDERING THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE P-41 RECALL.

SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I PURCHASED MY JEEP COMMANDER ON FEBRUARY 12, 2014. A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED IT MY CHECK LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS FOR MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE PEOPLE IN THE GARAGE STATED IT WAS JUST A SENSOR AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT I TOLD THEM TO FIX IT WHILE IT WAS STILL COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THEY WOULDN'T. THE NEXT DAY ALL OF THE DOME LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS IN MY TRUCK STARTED FLICKERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. (STILL DOES IT TO THIS DAY). SOON AFTER MY BRAKES WENT OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY KIDS SO I HAD TO GET THE CALIPERS AND EVERYTHING CHANGED. NEXT IT WAS THE WINDOWS THEY ALL STOPPED WORKING. THE END OF JANUARY 2015, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN, ALL OF THE LUG NUTS AND BOLTS FELL OFF OF MY TIRE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I ENDED UP CALLING THE TOW TRUCK AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. $2500 AND TWO WEEKS LATER I GET MY TRUCK BACK, HAVE IT FOR A DAY & IT STARTS JERKING ON MY WAY TO WORK. THEY FIXED EVERYTHING THAT HAD TO DO WITH MY TIRES AND SUSPENSION. THEY ALSO INFORM ME I NEED MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER CHANGED AFTER THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT IT'S JUST THE SENSOR ACTING FUNNY. (IT COULD'VE BEEN FIXED WHEN I ASKED THEM TO DO IT WHILE IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY) NOW MY LIGHTS START FLASHING MY WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AREN'T WORKING AND IS MESSING WITH MY ABS SYSTEM AND TRACTION. THEY JUST TELL ME TO SHUT THE TRACTION OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING IT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I END UP TAKING IT BACK IN THE SHOP. A MONTH LATER I'M DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY SERPENTINE BELT BUSTS AND I LOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. ANOTHER $500 DOLLAR JOB. PRESENT DAY, MY TRUCK IS BACK IN THE SHOP FOR A ROUTINE BRAKES AND ROTORS FIX AND THEY CALL AND SAY I NEED MY OUTER TIRODS FIXED AND REAR AXLE SOMETHING. I'VE PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS TRUCK THAN I'VE PAID FOR IT IN THE PAST YEAR.

BOTH FRONT SEAT BELTS DO NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED. IN ORDER TO USE THEM, ONE MUST DEPRESS THE RED UNLATCH BUTTON IN ORDER TO INSERT METAL BUCKLES INTO THE LATCHES.
