ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, MOST OR ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, WIPERS CAME ON, HORN STARTED HONKING AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE HORN CONTINUED TO HONK, THE WIPERS TO OPERATE AS IF I HAD TURNED THEM ON, WHICH I HAD NOT. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE, THE INCIDENT STOPPED AND OPERATED FINE UNTIL THE NEXT OCCURRENCE. THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME THIS SAME THING HAPPENED; I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 60 AND 70MPH, AND ALL THE ABOVE RANDOM THINGS HAPPENED AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE DID NOT STALL. THE FOURTH TIME I WAS DRIVING IN SUBURBAN TRAFFIC AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT, ALL THE SAME THINGS HAPPENED AND THE ENGINE DID STALL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE HORN FROM BLARING, NOR SHUT OFF THE HIGH BEAMS THIS TIME, EVEN AFTER THE ENGINE WAS STOPPED AND THE KEY WAS WITHDRAWN. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE TO SHUT OFF THE HORN AND LIGHTS. ONCE I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY, ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, ALL WAS FINE AGAIN. THESE 4 OCCURRENCES HAPPENED OVER THE LAST ~2 MONTHS AT RANDOM TIMES IN VARIOUS TRAFFIC AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. IT'S FRIGHTENING TO THINK THAT I MAY BE ON AN INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND THE ENGINE STALLS! *TR

ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE PURCHASED OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN NOVEMBER, 2008. THE FIRST PROBLEM WE EXPERIENCED WAS THE ROUGH VIBRATION OF THE FRONT END. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY THING PHYSICALLY WRONG. THIS PROBLEM HAS INCREASED OVER THE YEARS. THE SECOND PROBLEM WE NOTICED, ALL OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BROKE WHICH CREATES SOME DIFFICULTY IN EXITING THE VEHICLE. WE MAINTAINED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM WE EXPERIENCED UNTIL NOW, WE PURCHASED TWO NEW BATTERIES AND THE AIR CONDITION BLOWER WAS REPLACED. IN AUGUST, 2014, I STARTED THE TRUCK, PRECEDED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AFTER A MINUTE OR SO THE LIGHTS WENT OFF BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR 1 DAY. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN THE LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ANY SPEED IT APPEARED AS IF THE TRUCK WAS SHUTTING DOWN. IF I WAS ABLE TO I WOULD PULL OVER AND RESTART THE TRUCK THIS PRACTICE DID NOT STOP THE LIGHTS FROM COMING ON AND OFF. I WAS SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGE AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS OF ACCELERATION THE TRUCK SHUT COMPLETELY OFF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME COULDN'T HAVE NONE I WAS STOPPING BECAUSE I NEVER HIT THE BRAKES. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND FLASHED OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE KEY WAS UNUSUALLY HOT. THIS MORNING THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START EVERYTHING INSIDE THE VEHICLE CAME ON AND I COULD HEAR A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED IT AGAIN, AFTER 2 TRIES THE TRUCK STARTED. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WHOM DO I CONTACT TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS MATTER. I AM AFRAID THIS TRUCK IN IT'S CURRENT CONDITION MAY BE A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. *TR

MY JEEP COMMANDER STARTED HAVING TROUBLE SKIPPING. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CONTROL MODULE AND THE FIX DETERMINED BY CHRYSLER WAS TO RE-PROGRAM IT. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED AND THE TRANSMISSION CHECK AFTERWARDS. WHEN I ARRIVED TO PICK IT UP, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE TECHNICIAN WAS OUT SICK SO ALL THEY COULD DO WAS THE RECALL. THE CAR DROVE WORSE AFTER I STARTED HOME AND FAILED TO GET TRANSITION BETWEEN GEARS. I WAS FORCED TO STOP AT THE CLOSEST TRANSMISSION SHOP. THEIR CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. SO, I HAD THEM THEY REPLACED IT. WHEN THEY WENT TO TEST DRIVE IT, APPARENTLY THE NEW TRANSMISSION ALSO FAILED DUE TO THE CONTROL MODULE. THEY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD A NEW CONTROL MODULE INSTALLED. AFTER REPAIRING THE NEW TRANSMISSION, I WAS CHARGED $4000. WHATEVER THE RECALL "FIX" FOR THE CONTROL MODULE WAS, IT CLEARLY WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE TRANSMISSION'S DESTRUCTION. THE OTHER RECALL FOR THE IGNITION COULD NOT BE DONE BECAUSE CHRYSLER HAS NO MANUFACTURED PART TO FIX IT. I SOLD THE COMMANDER THE NEXT DAY. I NEEDED RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER. UPDATED 04/06/15

MY JEEP ACTS AS IF I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. TODAY IT DID IT AGAIN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH. I HAVE NO ADDITIONAL KEYS ON THE KEY CHAIN. MY SEAT IS SLID BACK AND THERE WAS NO CONTACT WITH MY KNEE AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SINCE 2007. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL (P41 / NHTSA 14V-438), THAT I WAS FINALLY NOTIFIED ABOUT BY MY DEALER A YEAR AGO BUT THERE ARE STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HOW LONG SHOULD A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE BE ALLOWED TO GO ON WITHOUT A FIX. SHOULD WE WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND DIE? *TR
