2007 JEEP COMMANDER WITH 112,000 EST MILES, BOUGHT USED IN AK 2016. A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT I KEPT HAVING O2 SENSOR CODES POP UP. I HAVE HAD ALL SENSORS REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS WITH THE LATEST BEING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. TODAY WAS MY BREAKING POINT, I WAS DRIVING ON I-24 TO NASHVILLE TO TAKE MY SON TO AN APPOINTMENT AT VANDERBILT. IT WAS RAINING THIS MORNING, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RED LIGHTING BOLT AND OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON. MY JEEP LOST POWER, THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND I WAS SCARED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. I SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS NORMAL AGAIN WITH JUST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I WAS SO SCARED TO DRIVE BACK TO CLARKSVILLE, FEARING THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I SAW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. I CALLED CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING REALLY THEY CAN DO. I SAID WHAT IS IT GOING TAKE, SOMEONE, DYING OR GETTING INTO A WRECK?? I AM DISAPPOINTED IN HOW THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED. MY LATEST CARFAX SHOWS THAT THIS JEEP HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER, WITH NOTHING REALLY GETTING RESOLVED.

AIR BAGS
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD @ 40 MPH & MY HORN STARTED SOUNDING NON STOP & KEPT DRAINING MY BATTERY. TURNS OUT IT IS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING, & MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 51K. THE PART TO FIX IS RETAILED OVER $800 & YOU CANNOT GET AHOLD OF ONE BECAUSE THEY ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. WAS TOLD CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO A RECALL BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD, BUT IT ONLY HAS 51K & THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER JEEP/CHRYSLER MODELS. SINCE IT IS HOOKED TO MY AIRBAG, THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT CHRYSLER DOES NOT SEE IT THAT WAY. WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER JEEP BECAUSE OF THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
JEEP LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY AT RANDOM SPEEDS. ALSO WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE STATIONARY. CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART IS TO FULLY PLACE IN PARK AND COMPLETELY REMOVE THE KEY. VIOLENT SHUT DOWN AND TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. I HAVE HAD THE ASD RELAY REPLACED AND WIRING CHECKED WITH NO FIX. VERY DANGEROUS WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR.

THE VEHICLE DOOR HANDLES DO NOT FUNCTION ON ANY OF THE FOUR DOORS. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME DEFECT AND THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IS TO LET THE WINDOW DOWN IF YOU ARE ABLE TO AND UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SMOKING, FIRE, ETC., AND PASSENGERS ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE. THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE..

I CALLED LAST 8/9/18 TO BROUGHT THE ATTENTION ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE. I RECEIVED A RESPOND FROM NHTSA DATED 8/28/18. PLEASE REVIEW YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM FROM MY REPORT. THERE IS ADDITIONAL PROBLEM THAT I JUST EXPERIENCED RECENTLY WHEN WE HAVE A SEVERE STORM HAPPENED LAST 8/10/18 THE SUN ROOF WAS LEAKING AND IT FLOODED THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR. I HAVE TO CLEAR THE WATER AND OPEN ALL THE DOORS TO LET IT DRY AND APPLIED ANTI MOLD DISENFECTANT TO PROTECT OUR HEALTH. ALSO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DISCONTINUED WORKING. THE SYSTEM MONITOR FAILED. DEALER WAS ASKING $ 800.00 TO FIX MONITOR SYSTEM. SOME OF THE ISSUES IN THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT BROUGHT TO THE DEALER DUE TO I HAVE NO FUNDS TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE. NOT ALL PEOPLE HAVE A SUBSTANTIATE FUNDS ESPECIALLY I'M OUT OF JOB. I WAS NOT SURE IF I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE WE BOUGHT IT USE. WHEN WE BOUGHT IT THE MILEAGE WAS 125000 MILES. I'M NOT SURE THE HISTORY OF THIS VEHICLE. I SUGGEST THAT YOU MIGHT FIND THAT INFORMATION THROUGH THE DEALER. AS I RECOLLECT MY PAST COMPLAINTS WAS, WHILE DRIVING 40 MILES (MPH) THE SPEED SUDDENLY REDUCED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNING SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT WOULD ERRONEOUSLY CHANGE POSITIONED WHOLE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION TO THIS BOTH SEAT BELT AT THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT WORKING SO PASSENGER CANNOT ACCESS IT WHILE TRAVELING. WHEN I TURNED ON THE HEATER NOR AIR-CONDITION THERE WAS A ROARING SOUND COMING FROM THE AIR-CONDITION VENT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT WAS TURNED ON HIGH. SO OVER ALL THIS IS MY RESPOND FROM THE LETTER THAT YOU HAVE SEND DATE 8/28/18. IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTION IN REGARDS TO MY RESPOND FROM YOUR LETTER PLEASE FEEL FREE TO WRITE AT [XXX] OR MY CONTACT NUMBER [XXX]. MY EMAIL: [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
