ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER WILL NOT START. I STILL HAVE POWER TO MY RADIO, POWER LOCKS AND SEATS, LIGHTS WORK. THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAVE BOTH BEEN CHECKED AND ARE RUNNING FINE. THE TRUCK WILL START IF IT IS JUMPED. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH AND I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES. TURNS OUT IT IS THE SOLENOID WIRE WHICH APPARENTLY HAS POOR WEATHER PROOFING AND CORRODES AFTER SOME TIME. NOW I NEED TO BRING IT IN AND PAY FOR THIS FIX OUT OF POCKET SO THAT I HAVE A SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MY FAMILY. THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, SEEING AS HOW THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE REFER TO THIS SITE, WHERE I FOUND ALL THIS INFORMATION. THANK YOU HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/HELP-2008-COMMANDER-WONT-START-CHRONIC-ISSUE-1107823/. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS
MY CAR CUT OUT AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I LOST MY POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. ADDITIONALLY I LOST MY AIRBAGS. THIS IS THE 12TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. I CALLED JEEP AND ASKED FOR A LOANER OR RENTAL TILL THIS IS RESOLVED BECAUSE THERE IS NO FIX AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT. I HAVE NOTHING ON MY KEY RING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM AND MY KNEE IS 8 INCHES FROM THE IGNITION SO I KNOW I DID NOT BUMP IT WITH MY KNEE. JEEP WILL NOT WORK WITH ME AND STATE IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I SHOULD BE CAREFUL AND TRY NOT TO HIT ANY BUMPS. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A 1.5 YEARS. I'VE ONLY HAD THE JEEP FOR 2 YEARS. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE VEHICLE JERKS AND PUTTS, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVENTUALLY FLASHES AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. CHRYSLER JEEP HAS NOT, TO THIS DAY, BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM EVEN WITH CHRYSLER ENGINEERS. THEY HAVE KEPT MY CAR FOR WEEKS AT A TIME TO NO RESOLVE. THEY HAVE TRIED REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS JUST TO SEE IF IT WORKS. ON A FEW OCCASIONS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CHRYSLER CORPORATE WILL NO LONGER ASSIST ME WITH THIS CASE. *TR
