ENGINE, STEERING
I HAVE BEEN THE OWNER OF 2008 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED EDITION FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IT WAS MY DREAM TRUCK.. HOWEVER IT HAS NOW BECOME MY BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF KILLING ME AND MY CHILDREN. THIS TRUCK RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF DURING HIGH SPEEDS, DOESNT ALLOW ME BREAK SOMETIMES FOR READ LIGHTS AND PUT MY LIFE AT RISK DAILY WHEN I DRIVE. I HAVE CONTINUALLY CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND HEADQUARTER ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS MY TRUCK HAS BECOME. I HAVE MISSED COUNTLESS DAYS OF WORK AND BE LEFT STRANDED WHEN THE ENGINE WONT TURN OVER. I HAVE BEGGED FOR HELP AND NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE. WILL IT TAKE A ME BEING KILLED OR HURTING ANOTHER FOR SOME TO FINALLY HELP. THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THE RECALL IGNITION PIECE ISNT IN AND THAT THEY CANT HELP ME. I'M AT RISK OF LOSING MY JOB BECAUSE THE TRUCK I PAY FOR MONTHLY ISNT SAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS NOTED BY NHTSA ID #10722215 -- SUMMARY: TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN OVER IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V567000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME. THE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. WE HAVE CALLED JEEP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. OUR VEHICLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED AS ALL PARTS ACROSS THE US HAVE BEEN PULLED. WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT JEEP DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED, THEY WILL OFFER NO ASSISTANCE SO WE ARE WITHOUT A VEHICLE. THE ASSOCIATE WE SPOKE TO AT 800-992-1997 WOULD NOT TRANSFER MY CALL TO A SUPERVISOR. HE INDICATED THAT BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AT THE PRESENT TIME, THERE IS NO ONE TO FURTHER HELP US.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER SPORT 4X4 HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE. I PARKED THE JEEP, BUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I COME BACK 3 HOURS LATER MY CAR DOES NOT START. I WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK MY CAR BY USING THE REMOTE, AND THE LIGHTS TURNED ON WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. I PUT THE KEY IN TURNED IT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MAKE A SINGLE NOISE, AND "DAMAGED KEY" PROMPTS ON THE DASH AND QUICKLY DISAPPEARS. I NEEDED TO MOVE MY CAR SO I WAS ABLE TO GET A JUMP BC OF THE POSITION THE CAR WAS IN. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME. MY FRIEND WAS ABLE TO POSITION HIS TRUCK TO JUMP START MINE. AGAIN, NOTHING WORKED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
2008 JEEP COMMANDER, ENGINE WOULD REPEATEDLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS, FROM PULLING OUT TO DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL P57/NHTSA 14V-567 OVER SIX MONTHS AGO WHICH STATED "CHRYSLER IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO PROVIDE THE PART AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE". THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD END UP KILLING SOMEBODY IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT CHRYSLER CAN OPERATE IN THIS MANNER AND TAKE THIS LONG TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS SAFETY AND THAT THEY ARE NOT TAKING THE RECALL SERIOUSLY.
