FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE SKID PLATE BELOW THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY. THE SKID PLATE IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE GAS TANK SECURE TO THE JEEP. THERE ARE NO OTHER RETAINING STRAPS. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE GAS TANK WAS ABLE TO DROP AND SECURED IT WITH RUBBER STRAPS UNTIL I COULD GET IT REPAIRED. THE JEEP COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. A FULL TANK OF GAS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE TANK TO DROP THROUGH THE RUSTED SKID PLATE. THE JEEP ALSO HAS SKID PLATES BELOW THE FRONT AND MID DRIVE COMPONENTS. THEY HAVE NOT RUSTED AT ALL. THERE IS NO RUST ON THE JEEP ANYWHERE ELSE. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE RUSTED COMPONENT WHILE IN PLACE AND AFTER IT WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED. I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF A PROBLEM.

ENGINE
I DROVE TO A GAS STATION ABOUT 5 MILES FROM MY HOME TO FUEL UP. AFTER FUELING UP, I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AND IT RAN ROUGH FOR LESS THAN A SECOND AND THEN SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT RAN BUT HAD A LOUD KNOCK SO I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I TOWED IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID I HAD A DROPPED VALVE SEAT AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE ODOMETER WAS AT 106,000 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON A TURNPIKE THE ENGINE AND ALL POWER IMMEDIATELY AND INSTANTLY SHUT OFF. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 110,300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. QUITE A SCARY CIRCUMSTANCE.

NO ERROR OR WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON THE DASH. 5.7L HEMI ENGINE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE (FDCM). VEHICLE HAD N23 AND P73 RECALLS COMPLETED. SOMETIME LATER, LOST 4WD LOW. RETURNED TO DEALER FOR RE FLASH PER FCA RECALL FOR LIFE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THEY CANNOT ACCESS FDCM DUE TO A SHORT; PART NEEDS REPLACED. CALLED FCA MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT COVER AS ITS HARDWARE AS OPPOSED TO SOFTWARE RECALL. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES, IN MY RESEARCH, WHERE THEIR RECALL CAUSES THE LOSS OF 4WD LOW. FCA KNOWS THEIR "FIX" WAS FOR A HARDWARE ISSUE AND THEY FAIL TO COVER IT. OWNED JEEPS A LONG TIME AND I'M DONE. I HAVE SIX CHILDREN SO THEY MAYBE THEY CAN DO THE MATH ON WHAT THIS WILL COST THEM OVER GENERATIONS!

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE JEEP ON 11-26-17 AND SHE HAD THE HEATER ON. SHE FELT HER RIGHT LEG GETTING REALLY HOT DOWN BY THE GAS PEDDLE. WHEN SHE GOT HOME SHE PULLED UP HER PANTS LEG AND SHE SAW THAT HER LEG HAD A BAD BLISTER ON IT. SHE DID NOT HAVE THIS BEFORE SHE DROVE THE CAR. THE HEAT FROM THE FLOOR VENT WAS ON HER SIDE BURNED HER LEG THROUGH HER CLOTHING. SEE PICTURES. I MEASURED THE TEMPERATURE COMING OUT OF THAT VENT WITH THE HEATER RUNNING AND IT IS 156.9F SEE PICUTRE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE OWN THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND IT DID SHUT DOWN ON ME DUE TO I DID HIT THE INGESTION SWITCH WITH MY KNEE AS WE WERE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. A COUPLE YEARS GO AFTER THAT WITH NO ISSUE. NOW MY 17 YEAR OLD GIRL DRIVES IT NOW WITH NO ISSUE. GOT RECALL LITTLER IGNITION SWITCH REPLACEMENT. GOT SWITCH REPLACED AND ONE FOR A RE-FLASH ON THE POWER TRAIN. NOW AFTER THAT IT HAS STALLED OUT ON MY DAUGHTER 2 TIMES A MOUTH APART WHEN STOP TO MAKE A TURN GOING TO SCHOOL. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY FRONT CONTROL MODULE AND ONLY GOING OFF OF STORED CODES B211E & B211A AND DON'T KNOW HOW MANY COUNTS OR HOW OLD THEY ARE. THE SERVICE WRITER COULD NOT TELL ME THAT IS A FIX AND THE TECH SAID THAT IS WHAT IT NEED . I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND I CAN NOT FIND THESE CODES ANYWHERE ONLINE. I DID FIND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME THING AND THE FCM HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH MANY OTHER SENSORS AND THEY STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. SO THAT MY HAVE SAVED ME OVER $500 THAT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX IT.. I THE PARENT AM DRIVING THE CAR NOW TILL I CAN THIS FIGURED OUT. IF THERE ARE UPDATED RESOLVING THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM PLEASE ADVISE. DON'T WHAT TO JUST THROW AWAY MONEY ON PARTS THAT IS NOT ON ME BUT MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE JEEP COMPANY END THAT NEEDS TO FIX THIS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON FREEWAY DUE TO RECALL CAUSING ANXIETY, FEAR OF LIFE AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENT ON MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE IGNITION SWITCH ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE AN UNINTENDED CHANGE IN IGNITION SWITCH POSITION WHILE DRIVING. THIS MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING ASSIST, POWER BRAKE ASSIST OR DISABLE THE AIRBAG FUNCTION. DISABLING ONE OR MORE OF THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY FEATURES COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF VEHICLE OCCUPANT INJURY DURING A CRASH AND/OR CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT, OBVIOUSLY RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING & BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED 50+/- TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS OF MY OWNERSHIP. THE PROBLEM HAS INTENSIFIED OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, BUT WOULD ALWAYS RE START AFTER SHIFTING INTO PARK. LAST NIGHT (10/8/2017) IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AS I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT START & I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. THROUGH ON-LINE RESEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE JEEP COMMANDER (4.7L) DATING BACK TO WHEN THE VEHICLES WERE NEW. THE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM VARIES GREATLY. GIVEN THE TIMELINE FOR THIS PROBLEM, ITS OBVIOUS THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER (NOW FIAT CHRYSLER USA) IS AWARE OF & MAKES NO ATTEMPT AT A SOLUTION.
