ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4.7. LAST MONTH AFTER COMING HOME FROM ANOTHER STATE, THE CAR PARKED FOR SEVERAL DAYS WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN IT WOULD NOT CRANK WHEN I WENT TO START IT... JUST THE CLICKING SOUND. MY BOYFRIEND JUMPED IT AND IT OVERHEATED HIS CABLE. THEN IT HAPPENED AFTER SITTING JUST OVERNIGHT, SAME SCENARIO. I DID NOT LEAVE ANYTHING ON LIKE LIGHTS, ETC. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE. IT BEGAN TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY (SEVERAL NIGHTS IN A ROW). TOOK IT INTO A DEALER AND HE REPLACED A FEW PARTS BUT NOTHING CHANGED. THEN THE BATTERY STARTED DRAINING AFTER SITTING FOR 15 MINUTES WITH THE IGNITION OFF. TOOK IT TO A FRIEND WHO'S AN AUTO MECHANIC, HE SAID SOMETHING WAS DISCHARGING FROM SOMEWHERE.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CRACK AND BREAK: THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD TRAP FOR MANY CONSUMER BECAUSE YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR IN AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS COMPLAINT SINCE THIS VEHICLE CAME OUT ON THE MARKET SEVERAL HUNDRED AND SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. ONLY HAVING THE CONSUMER FIX IT THEIR SELF WHICH IS VERY COSTLY TO FIX. MY DEALER SHOP QUOTED ME 500.00 PER DOOR AND I HAVE 2 THAT ARE BADLY CRACKED AND BROKEN : PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL ON THE DOOR HANDLES AND THINK OF THE SAFELY OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN . THIS HAPPENS BY JUST OPENING A DOOR DUE TO POOR PRODUCT SELECT ON THE MANUFACTURER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START. TURN KEY ON, GET A HALF CRANK, THEN NOTHING. AFTER 5-10 MINUTES OF TRYING, IT WILL FINALLY START. HAD AN IGNITION RECALL, WHICH THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED BY JEEP DEALER. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE STARTER. STILL HAVING THE ISSUE AFTER HAVING IT LOOKED AT 4 TIMES. THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN IT IS IN THE SHOP, SO THEY CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN 09/15 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING THE ISSUE EVER SINCE.

MY SITUATION BEGAN ON JUL 10, 14 WHEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING.

THIS VEHICLE STOP RUNNING ON ME WHILE DRIVING 65 TO 70 MPH AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO RESTART IT. THIS IS AT A STANDSTILL AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED WHILE COASTING. ANOTHER TIME I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE MOTOR DIED WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL. EVEN WHILE TURNING ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY HAS GIVEN ME SCARY MOMENTS. EVEN WHILE AT A STAND STILL, THE ENGINE HAS DIED ON ME. THESE INCIDENTS THAT I HAVE DESCRIBED HAVE HAPPENED TO ME AND MY WIFE MORE THAN ONCE FOR EACH SITUATION THAT I MENTIONED HERE.

THE CAUSE TO ME IS UNKNOWN SINCE I AM NOT A MECHANIC. AS STATED, THIS STARTED JUL 2014 AND HAS BEEN ONGOING TO DATE.
