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.

POWER TRAIN
MY STORY IS THE FDCM WAS UPDATED WITH THE P73 UPDATE AT A DEALERSHIP IN LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS, I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TWICE BECAUSE THE SERVICE 4WD DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE UPDATE. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE UPDATE. I LIVE IN ALABAMA AND NOW I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE TRANSFER CASE IS WORN OUT. I BELIVE THEY ONLY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO WORK ON IT. I CARE LITTLE ABOUT TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FIXED THAT FIRST OF ALL I HAVE NO LDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR WHATS NEEDED TO REPAIR IT OTHER THAN TRADING IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PURCHASED 5 JEEPS IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. THIS ONE WILL BE THE LAST.
