ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS 2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 4.7 LITER V8 WAS JUST PURCHASED USED. THE 1ST DAY IT STALLED AT A STOP SIGN. THEN STALLED AT A DRIVE THROUGH. THE SECOND DAY THE STALLING CONTINUED INCLUDING ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN ABOUT 30 MPH. WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT RESTART AT FIRST, BUT THEN I DISCOVERED THAT WHEN CYCLING THE KEY TO OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IT WOULD RESTART INSTANTLY. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER HAS VERIFIED THE ISSUE OCCURS, BUT HAS HAD IT FOR 3 WEEKS WITH NO IDEA OF A RESOLUTION. THEY REPORT BEING IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLERS STAR TECHNICAL SUPPORT... AGAIN NO ACTION OR RESOLUTION. I DISCOVERED THE PRIUS OWNER HAD VEHICLE IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. IT IS JUST LIKE YOU TURN THE KEY OFF; NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES. WHEN SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION IN GOOGLE... IT IS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE, BUT I CAN FIND NO RESOLUTIONS MYSELF. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THE 2006 COMMANDER IN JUNE 2010. THE FIRST 6 WEEKS I HAD THE VEHICLE I LOVED IT. THE FIRST INCIDENT I HAD WITH THE VEHICLE WAS THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST WARNING CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR TWO DAYS, THEN WENT OFF ON ITS OWN PRIOR TO GETTING AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE NEXT INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IDLING IN TRAFFIC AT A STOPLIGHT. EVERY INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL BUT DID NOT COMPLETELY STALL OUT. SINCE THAT EPISODE I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY (AT TIMES WON'T ROLL UP OR DOWN FROM EITHER CONTROL). MORE RECENTLY I HAVE HAD INCREASING EPISODES (TWO TO THREE TIMES PER MONTH) OF THE DASH LIGHTING UP, HEADLIGHTS DIMMING AND THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER (SO FAR ALWAYS WHILE PARKED OR SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE), AS WELL AS THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST WARNING AND WINDOW ISSUES. AFTER HEARING OF A COWORKER WITH A 2007 COMMANDER HAVING SOME OF THE SAME ISSUES I BEGAN SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUES AS MINE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE IN THE EVENT THAT IT WOULD STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL IT. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE YESTERDAY AND THEY HAVE AGREED TO LOOK AT IT FREE OF CHARGE THIS MORNING SINCE THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON IT NOW, BUT I STILL AM NOT SURE I WANT TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THIS ISSUE. I USED TO BE A DIE HARD JEEP FAN...BUT NO LONGER! I AM SURPRISED THAT I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY REPORTS OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY AS A RESULT OF THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL.
