ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010 AND WITHIN A MONTH SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES WERE INTERMITTENTLY OCCURRING. THE DEALER SAID THE IGNITION HAD TO BE REPLACED AND DID SO. THESE PROBLEMS SEEMED TO CONTINUE THOUGHT NOT OFTEN. THE SYMPTOMS ARE AS FOLLOWS-FIRST THE LIGHTS START FLICKERING AND THEN GO OUT. ALL OF THE DASH COMPONENTS GO OUT INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAGE, RADIO ETC. THE AC FAN ALSO TURNED OFF. THIS CONDITION DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE FROM RUNNING IT JUST TURNED OFF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THERE WAS HOWEVER A PROBLEM WITH STALLING, A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE., A FEW TIMES WHILE IN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IT WOULD STALL WHEN STOPPING OR STARTING OFF AGAIN. THIS WAS TRUE IN REVERSE AND FORWARD. I WAS NEVER REALLY WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A DARK CURVY COUNTRY ROAD. IT WAS ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS BUT IT WAS TERRIFYING. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. IN 2015 THERE WERE SEVERAL RECALLS ISSUED AND THEY SEEMED TO BE RELATED TO THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. I HAD ALL OF THE RECALL NOTICES DEALT WITH. THE SOFTWARE UPGRADES AND THE IGNITION REPLACEMENT. THIS DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN FACT IT

STALLING PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, I WAS TOLD BY JEEP TO GET P41 RECALL REPAIRED AND POSSIBLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE HAD P41 DONE AND THE SAME PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING. EVERYTHING JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND I AM UNABLE TO STEER AND HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS OF TIMES INCLUDING DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I'VE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS TOLD I WAS THE ONLY ONE THEY KNOW OF REGARDING THIS ISSUE WHICH IS NOT TRUE. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL LIGHT UP ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL LIGHT INDICATORS WILL STAY ON FOR PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL CAR IS RESTARTED AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE JEEP WILL NOT START AND LEFT US STRANDED 30 MILES FROM HOME. I HAD TO LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE IC LIGHT UP AND IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND BUT WON'T TURN OVER. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD STARTER BUT AFTER RESEARCHING IT THAT NIGHT I REALIZED IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THEIR COMMANDERS. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME THE NEXT DAY BY QUICKLY TURNING THE KEY FROM THE "OFF" POSITION TO "START" RAPIDLY. IT STARTED AFTER 15-20 TRIES OF THIS MOVEMENT. NOW THAT IT IS HOME, I WAS ABLE TO START IT ONCE EACH DAY SINCE THE INITIAL ISSUE. BUT NOW, I AM UNABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. COULD BE THE WCM, STARTER HARNESS, SENTRY KEY MODULE, ETC. REGARDLESS, IT IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AMONGST JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS AND SOMETHING I THINK JEEP NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF. I UNDERSTAND THIS ISN'T SPECIFICALLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT COULD BE IF MY WIFE AND 11 MONTH OLD ARE LEFT STRANDED SOMEWHERE BECAUSE THE JEEP DECIDES IT DOESN'T WANT TO START.
