STEERING, AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
MY JEEP COMMANDER TURNED OFF, CAUSING MY BRAKES TO FAIL ALONG WITH STEERING AND AIRBAGS TO FAIL. I CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF SOMEONE TOWING A PONTOON BOAT. THE TOTAL COST OF DAMAGE WAS OVER $7,000. MY INSURANCE HAD TO COVER IT. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE RECALL P41. I HAVE CALLED AND COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT MY DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING, AND MY JEEP TURNING ITSELF OFF. I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS WHILE IT WAS BEING REPAIRED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET THIS ISSUE FIGURED OUT! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE ACCIDENT HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH THE VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF. THERE IS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH RECALL BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP GET THIS REPAIRED. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND CONTACTED THEM BUT THEY WILL NOT GET BACK TO ME ABOUT REPAIR. THIS 2006 VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTER WHO IS 19 YEARS OLD AND AWAY AT COLLEGE. UNFORTUNATELY MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER AND HAS THE SAME RECALL THEREFORE I CAN'T EVEN GIVE HER MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE SINCE IT IS UNSAFE AS WELL. AT THE VERY LEAST CHRYSLER SHOULD REPAIR THESE VEHICLE PRONTO! IN THE INTERIM THEY SHOULD PROVIDE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE IGNITION IS FAULTY AND UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WILL JUST TURN OFF BY ITSELF. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER JEEP BUT THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY CALLS TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE. I OWN 2 OF THESE JEEP COMMANDERS AND NEITHER OF THEM ARE SAFE TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER IS AWARE THAT THEY ARE NOT SAFE BUT YET WILL NOT REPAIR THEM OR PROVIDE SAFE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL REPAIR IS MADE. *TR

STEERING, WHEELS, SUSPENSION
IT SEEM THAT THE MAJORITY / EVERY JEEP COMMANDER OR G. CHEROKEE HAS GONE THROUGH ONE OR MORE RACK AND PINION REPLACEMENTS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO EVEN FIND A STEERING RACK TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONE... AS IF THAT WILL LAST LONG. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS IF THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH ISSUES WITH THESE NEWER JEEPS. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A 2005 OR NEWER JEEP AGAIN! CHRYSLER HAS REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS AND COMPLETELY RUINED A GREAT NAME FOR JEEP AND THEIR PRODUCTS. THIS JEEP IS FALLING APART AT NOT EVEN 80K MILES. IF I HAD TO PAY SOMEONE - THE DEALER /"STEALER" TO REPLACE ALL THE DEFECTIVE PARTS I WOULD HAVE TO SELL MY HOME. I HAVE BUCKETS AND BUCKETS OF PARTS (RUBBER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, BALL JOINTS, SEIZED BRAKE COMPONENTS ETC ETC) AND NOW THIS. NOTHING CAN BE WORKED ON, IF YOU TAKE IT APART YOU BETTER BUY A NEW ONE. EVERYTHING IS THROW AWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS SLOWLY PULLING THROUGH A STOP LIGHT (STOP AND GO TRAFFIC UP TO IT). JEEP SUDDENLY LOST POWER OF ALL KINDS - STALLED ENGINE, NO EMERGENCY FLASHERS, NO RADIO, NOTHING. TRIED TO TURN KEY & RESTART IT A # OF TIMES BUT IT WAS DEAD. AMBULANCE DROVE BY, STOPPED & PUSHED ME OUT OF THE ROAD. AS THEY WERE PUSHING ME, ELECTRICAL CAME BACK ON. SO I TRIED TO TURN KEY AGAIN AND CAR STARTED. **I AM PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT MY KNEE DID NOT TOUCH THE KEY- I AM TOO SHORT FOR THAT AND ALSO THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART ONCE STALLED- I TURNED KEY MANY TIMES TO TR AND GET OUT OF THE ROAD AND CAR REMAINED DEAD/POWERLESS. ALL ELECTRICAL WAS OFF. ONCE CAR CAME BACK ON, RADIO STATIONS NO LONGER PROGRAMMED, ETC. MUCH LIKE THE BATTERY HAD DIED. ** PLZ NOTE, MILEAGE IS ESTIMATED- I NEED TO GO LOOK INSIDE CAR. *TR

ENGINE
JEEP STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE RANDOMLY ONE DAY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY EXPLAINED THE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES. VERY STRANGE CONSIDERING THAT MY JEEP HAVE NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT HAS BECOME VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL OF THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE 4.7L V8. THE COMPANY DOESN'T TRY TO HELP WITH THE COST AND ACTUALLY CHARGES AN ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT I CONSIDER BAD ENGINEERING ON THEIR PART. THE BROKEN BOLTS CAUSE AN EXHAUST LEAK THAT CAN NOW BE DETECTED WITHIN THE CAR AND I THINK IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR THE PASSENGERS. WITH THE BOLTS BROKEN IT ALSO ALLOWS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO WARP CAUSE ADDITION DAMAGE THAT NOW NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING - USUALLY AT NIGHT AND AT ALL SPEEDS MY HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER LIKE A STROBE LIGHT AND THEN GO OFF COMPLETELY, INCLUDING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AS WELL INDICATING MY SPEED, ETC.. SOMETIMES I CAN USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO AT LEAST BE ABLE TO SEE, HOWEVER, EVEN SOMETIMES THIS DOES NOT WORK. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OR BE SEEN AT NIGHT IN RANDOM PLACES ON THE FREEWAY, IN THE CITY, ETC....PLEASE SOMEONE HELP - DEALER STATES THAT THEY HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE!! ANOTHER PROBLEM, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH, IS THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE VEHICLE WILL STOP AND NOT BLOW ANY AIR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX MY CAR. ON TOP OF THAT THEY GAVE ME A PIECE OF MY CAR THAT APPARENTLY FELL OFF, WHILE THEY WERE INSPECTING IT??!!?? THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT AND THAT IT IS A FAULTY PIECE CALLED THE HOUSING WHICH IS PART OF THE INLET HOUSING AND THAT IT WOULD COST $1,156.38 TO FIX. UNBELIEVABLE! *TR
