ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I HAVE HAD MY JEEP FOR JUST OVER 2 YEARS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND THIS IS THE FORTH TIME I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE SHIFT INTERLOCK MODULE REPLACED. THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER, YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT IT HAS CAUSED A CRASH OR FIRE OR DEATH BUT THAT IS BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO TAKE THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE. LAST NIGHT THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ALL CAME ON - SERVICE ENGINE, STABILITY TRACK, ABS, BREAK, ETC. THE CAR SHIFTED INTO PRND AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. FORTUNATELY I COULD BRAKE AND STOP BEFORE IT GOT UGLY. THIS IS UNSAFE. IF YOU READ THE JEEPCOMMANDER.COM/FORUMS IT IS FULL OF SIMILAR INSTANCES. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE JEEP IS MADE TO FIX THIS ISSUE?!?!?!

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE ENGINE DIED. WHEN THE ENGINE DIED, THE ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. POWER STEERING AND BRAKING WERE FINE AT FIRST. I STEERED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BEFORE COMING TO A STOP, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. ONCE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CAR RE-STARTED IMMEDIATELY, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE SHOP AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. ...UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF ABOUT ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE ABOVE EVENT, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE TRAIN STATION ON A PERFECTLY DRY AND CLEAR DAY AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE VARIOUS TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD PERIODICALLY BUCK WHILE THE RPM'S WOULD REV HIGHER FOR A MOMENT. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE. THE NEST DAY WHEN I STARTED IT, THE TRACTION LIGHTS WERE OFF AND THE CAR APPEARED TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE LIGHTS THAT WERE ON WERE THE ESP, BAS, AND THE PICTURE OF THE CAR SLIDING. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR, THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUE WITH THE TRACTION SYSTEM. THE SAME TRACTION ISSUE HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. UPDATED 09/29/15*JB

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AND MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF. I LOST POWER STEERING BREAKS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE THIS TIME, AND I LOOKED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP FOR AN INGITION SWITCH AND THE THE EXACT DISCRIPTION OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY CAR WAS EFFECTED FIT MY SITUATION. I THEN CALLED JEEP AND ADVISED THEM OF THIS AND THEY SAID I NEEEDED TO HAVE IT DIAGNOISED BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AT MY EXPENSENSE AND RENTED A CAR AT MY EXPENSE. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED MY ASSUMPTION AND IN FACT THE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING IS PART OF THE RECALL. JEEP NOW TELLS ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY HAVE NOT MADE A DECISION ON WHETHER IT'S NECCESSARY TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL THEY HAVE A RESOLVE. AM I SUPPOSED TO BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE OR POTENTIALLY DRIVE MINE WITH 3 CHILDREN, AND POTENTIALLY LOOSE POWER AGAIN CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL? WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO FROM HERE?
