AIR BAGS
DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND MAKES A CHIME NOISE. NOW IT DOES IT OFF AND ON THE WHOLE TIME IT IS BEING DRIVEN. ALSO IF YOUR SITTING STEAL AND YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT WILL DO IT AS WELL. I'M THINKING IT MAY BE DUE TO THE CLOCKSPRING.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN TRYING TO CRANK THE CAR THE IGNITION IS VERY SLOW AND THE LIGHTS DIM. IT IS TRYING TO TURNOVER BUT CANNOT. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT STARTS SMELLING LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS GOING ON. WE ATTEMPTED TO JUMP IT OFF BUT IT PERFORMS THE SAME EVEN WHEN ATTACHED TO JUMPER CABLES. SO IT IS NOT THE BATTERY WHICH WAS CHANGED 2 YEARS AGO AND THE STARTER WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE PERIODICALLY BUT IT ALWAYS EVENTUALLY STARTED AND NEVER SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS BURNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING SPOT IN LEXINGTON FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES TO RUN INTO THE RETRIEVE SOME DOCUMENTS AND WHEN RETURNING IT JUST WOULD NOT START. ONCE I GOT HOME I STARTED LOOKING UP COMMON ISSUES WITH ELECTRICAL AND NOTICED THAT THERE HAD BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO MY ISSUE. I PLAN TO CALL OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AS SOON AS THEY OPEN AND SEE IF THEY CAN CONFIRM AND PICK IT UP FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING IDLING ISSUES, COLD START IN MORNING IDLES AROUND 900, WHEN PUT IN REVERSE IT DIPS TO AROUND 500 AND WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH WHILE BACKING UP, PUT IN DRIVE AND IT WOULD BE OK BUT WOULD STALL SOMETIMES AT STOP SIGN- CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I HAD THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE DONE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SAME DAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR RECALLS AND THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ALSO. IT DROVE OK FOR A DAY AND I HAVE THE UNSTABLE IDLE BACK AND THE RPM JUMPS UP WHILE IN DRIVE BUT STOPPED AT A LIGHT. ABOUT A WEEK AGO I AM SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A LIGHT AHEAD AND IT STARTS VIBRATING LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AND THE ETC AND TCS LIGHT CAME ON AND I SHUT IT OFF AND IT CRANKED RIGHT BACK UP AND DROVE IT THE REST OF THE DAY WITH NO ISSUE. ETC LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE NO ISSUES OTHER THAN THE UNSTABLE IDLE. TODAY-5-10-19, COMING HOME AND START TO TURN LEFT AND ETC AND TCS LIGHT COME ON AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS IN LIMP MODE BECAUSE THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER AND ETC LIGHT IS NOW BLINKING, SO I PULL IN A PARKING LOT, CUT IT OFF FOR FIVE MINUTES AND IT CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP WITH NO LIGHTS ON AND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE 5 MILES HOME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE COMMANDER HAS AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT THAT PREVENTS THE CAR FROM STARTING. WE HAVE TRACED IT BACK TO THE ALTERNATOR WIRE. IT'S THE DESIGN OF THE WIRING THAT'S CAUSING A DEFECT. WHEN I RESEARCH IT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MOST COMMANDER OWNER'S DEAL WITH. THERE'S NO WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. JEEP FIAT CHRYSLER HAVE NEVER ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM. WE'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TWICE NOW IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.
