IGNITION RECALL....JEEP WON'T START. HAVE A NEW STARTER AND BATTERY. WHEN I CAN GET IT TO FINALLY START THE FAN STOPS. THEN I GET STRANDED BECAUSE IT WON'T START AGAIN. I SEE THIS VEHICLE HAS 5 RECALLS. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP FROM A CAR LOT LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO. THE LOT WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. SO I GOOGLED THE MAKE AND MODEL AND FIND 5 RECALLS. SO FAR THANK GOD THE JEEP IS STATIONARY WHEN IT WON'T START. BUT BEING STRANDED WITH A 4 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER....... YES IN ANGRY AS HELL!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON RT3 HEADING WEST TOWARDS WEST CHESTER PA PASSING BY PROVIDENCE ROAD I WAS GOING ABOUT 55MPH WHEN MY JEEP SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE (THIS WAS VERY SCARY). I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND EVENTUALLY GOT MY JEEP STARTED AGAIN. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND AGAIN MY JEEP SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AGAIN A FEW SECONDS LATER. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AFTER RECEIVING N23 RECALL AND OTHER SOFTWARE UPDATES (P73) THE 4 WHEEL DRIVES SYSTEM DISABLES AT RANDOM. THIS HAS TO BE REPAIRED AT DEALER. ERROR CODE POINTS TO SHIFT ACTUATOR, BUT IN REALITY IT IS SOFTWARE. IF ERRORS ARE CLEARED PARTS FUNCTION FINE. LOSS OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAN BE A LIFE THREATENING. SINCE MOST OF THE TIME 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS NEEDED IS WHEN NOT NEAR HELP. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE ONGOING SINCE 2013. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CONTACTED SINCE 2014 WITH STARCASES. ISSUE HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED. LATEST BREAK DOWN LEFT ME STRANDED WHILE ON VACATION AND HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SHIFTING FAILS RANDOMLY, IT CAN BE WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN TRYING TO ENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE OR JUST DRIVING DOWN STREET AND SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM WARNING COMES ON. ERROR CAN BE CORRECTED SOMETIMES BY PULLING FUSE FOR FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE OTHER TIMES REQUIRES DEALER TO REAPPLY SOFTWARE FLASH. SOME DEALERS REFUSE TO TRY THIS AND JUST PROCEED TO CHARGE TO REPLACE SHIFT ACTUATOR MOTOR.

AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
A COUPLE NIGHTS AGO I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THE LIGHTS WERE DIM AT THE DASHBOARD. AT THE SAME TIME THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD ONLY TURN OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE TURN SIGNALS QUIT WORKING, BUT THE HAZARDS WORK THOUGH, THE DOME LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK UNLESS LENS PUSHED ON BUT NOT FROM TURN SIGNAL LEVER AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. THIS ALL HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. I THOUGHT MAYBE A CLUSTER RELAY WAS BAD. THE MORE I LOOK INTO IT, IT MAY BE THE TIPM IS FAULTY. IN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE, ALTERNATER IS GOOD AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AT RANDOM TIMES.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
ON CHRISTMAS I BACKED THE JEEP OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY SO I COULD DRIVE MY TRUCK. BUMPED THE CURB SLIGHTLY WHILE PARKING AND VEHICLE DIED. STARTED RIGHT BACK UP SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. TODAY MY WIFE TOOK THE KIDS TO SCHOOL IN IT AND RAN FINE. PARKED FOR TWO HOURS AND WENT TO START AND IT WILL CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T READ CORRECTLY. AT FULL IT SAYS HALF A TANK AND WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT MAY DROP TO BELOW EMPTY WITH A FULL TANK. I HAVE BEEN READING ALL THE REPORTS ABOUT THE 2006 COMMANDER AND A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO BE HAVING THIS STARTING PROBLEM. I HAUL MY FAMILY AROUND IN IT BECAUSE WE CAN'T ALL FIT IN MY TRUCK BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA CUT OUT AND DIE. MY KIDS RANGE FROM 1 WEEK TO 11 AND I DON'T REALLY WANT THEM IN IT. I'M THINKING IT A FUEL PUMP OR WIRING ISSUE. BOTH ISSUES OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY OR RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME ( 15-20 MINUTES) THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO LAG INTO SHIFTING. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS. TRIED SHIFTING INTO LOW GEAR AT STOP LIGHT, AND THE INDICATOR ON THE DASH STAYS IN ' D' AND WILL NOT ENGAGE IN OTHER LOWER GEARS. IT ALSO APPEARS TO LAG WHEN TRAVELING AT A STEAD SPEED, ABOUT 30-45 MILES PER HOUR.

ENGINE
TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON I-85 WHEN THE JEEP COMMANDER MADE A CLUNK SOUND AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THERE WAS NO POWER AND IT WAS UNABLE TO START. THIS OCCURRED AROUND 10PM WHEN I WAS HEADING HOME AFTER WORK. IT WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE SINCE IT WAS DARK. I WAS EXTREMELY THANKFUL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENTING AND STAYED WITH ME UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. I TOOK IT TO A FIRST MECHANIC WHO STATED THE ENGINE WAS TOTALED. I WENT FOR A SECOND OPINION TO ANOTHER MECHANIC SINCE THE CAR WAS MADE IN 2008 AND HAS ABOUT 112,000 MILES BUT WAS ALSO INFORMED THE ENGINE WAS TOTALED. THIS WAS A SHOCK AND DISAPPOINTING SINCE I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE.
