ENGINE
ON JUNE 6, 2012 AT APPROXIMATELY 12 NOON WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER AT 15 MPH IT STOPPED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, IT DID NOT OVERHEAT, AND ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE RADIO, WINDOWS, LIGHTS, ETC CONTINUED TO WORK, ONLY A CLICKING SOUND AND IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO JEEP. BECAUSE THEY HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT FROM CARMAX 16 MONTHS PRIOR. DEALER, STATED I MIGHT NEED A STARTER RECOMMENDING I AUTHORIZE TO PUT ONE ON COSTING ME $400. LATER THAT AFTERNOON I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS LOCKED UP AND SINCE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, CHRYSLER WOULD POSSIBLY ASSIST ME. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER. AFTER 3 WEEKS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTACT THE CASE MANAGER, I CONTACED THE HEAD OFFICE L AND ASK CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HAVE GIVE ME ANSWER. THE CASE MANAGER RETURNED A RESPONSE TO HAVE THE ENGINE TAKEN APART TO DISCERN THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER, DID SO WITH NO COST TO ME BECAUSE AT THIS TIME I AM AN UNEMPLOYED (CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER). HE FOUND THE DEFECT TO BE FROM THE FACTORY WHEREBY A SPRING IN THE VALVE BROKE CAUSING THE VALVE TO DROP DOWN IN THE ENGINE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOCK. PER THE SERVICE MANAGER, I NOR THE PREVIOUS OWNER ARE AT FAULT, AND EXPLAINED THIS TO THE CASE MANAGER. THE CASE MANAGER ASKED HIM, "WHAT DOES SHE WANT (MEANING ME) TO GIVE HER THE ENGINE FOR FREE"? I AM AT ODDS WITH CHYRSLER AND WONDER WHY I AM RECEIVING SUCH DISPARAGING TREATMENT FROM SOMEONE I DO NOT EVEN KNOW? I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FOR FREE! MY CASE # IS #; THE NUMBER TO CHYRSLER IS 1-877-426-5337. THE COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCESS OF $6500. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT

AIR BAGS
OUR 2008 JEEP COMMANDER WAS HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE COMMANDER TO FLIP LANDING ON THE DRIVER SIDE ROOF AND THEN ROLLING ONTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHERE IT SLID INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE IMPACT FROM HITTING THE ROOF AND SIDE OF THE CAR RESULTED IN THE CAR BEING TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE PERSON AT FAULT. THE SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE CAR ROLLED ONTO IT'S SIDE. PER PAGE 52 OF THE OWNER'S MANUAL "THE WINDOW BAG ON THE CRASH SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS TRIGGERED IN MODERATE TO SEVERE SIDE COLLISIONS" ALSO PAGE 56 STATES "THE SIDE IMPACT SRS SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO ACTIVATE ONLY IN CERTAIN SIDE OR ROLLOVER COLLISIONS." THE ENTIRE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS CRUSHED IN, THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR WAS PUSHED THROUGH THE WINDOW DUE TO THE IMPACT. AFTER THE VEHICLE ROLLED IT CAME TO REST ON THE DRIVER SIDE. HOW MUCH IMPACT IS NEEDED TO DEPLOY THESE AIRBAGS? THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR ALONE WAS BENT OFF OF THE FRAME. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE FRONT AIRBAG POSSIBLY NOT BEING DEPLOYED AS THE VEHICLE WAS HIT FROM BEHIND, BUT I AM SURPRISED THAT THE INITIAL IMPACT TO THE DRIVER SIDE ROOF CORNER SIDE NOT TRIGGER ANYTHING NOR DID THE ROLLOVER AND SIDE IMPACT THAT OCCURRED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
ENGINE STALLS: ENGINE STALLS RANDOMLY, AT A LIGHT, AROUND A CORNER, AND EVEN ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. ENGINE WILL NOT RESTART AFTER A STALL UNTIL THE KEY HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 15-20 STALLS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. TRANSMISSION JERKS: THIS STARTED IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN SUDDENLY REENGAGES, JERKING THE CAR FORWARD. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL CONTINUE OK, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL DIE. ELECTRICAL ISSUES: NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT MAYBE RELATED, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY NAV SYSTEM GOING DARK (WON'T DISPLAY UNTIL ENGINE RESTARTED) - LOST SETTINGS. REAR DVD HAS TOTALLY GONE OUT. DEALER SAYS THERE IS A CODE FOR "LOST COMMUNICATION WITH RADIO" DUE TO AN OPEN SHORT. LAST INCIDENT: 04/11/2012 (51000 MILES): ON INTERSTATE 75 MPH - TOOK FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO SLOW DOWN AND FELT LIKE THE ENGINE HAD DIED (LOST MOMENTUM AND WAS COASTING). I APPLIED THE GAS AND THE RPM'S O THE ENGINE INCREASED BUT THE CAR DID NOT GAIN SPEED. FELT LIKE TRANSMISSION HAD DISENGAGED. THE CAR JERKED FORWARD LIKE THE TRANSMISSION REENGAGED. MOMENTUM WAS RETURNED FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND THEN DISENGAGED AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME, THE ENGINE DIED AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. CAR RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER DRIVING FOR ANOTHER 3 HOURS, THE "SERVICE 4WD" MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DISPLAY. PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, SAME MESSAGE CAME UP. CONTINUED DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION - MESSAGE CLEARED. AFTER THE CAR SAT IN THE PARKING LOT FOR SEVERAL HOURS, WENT BACK OUT AND STARTED IT, THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND HAS NOT REAPPEARED. DEALER HAD CAR 6 DAYS - THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM. THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. VEHICLE DYING ON FREEWAY IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THERE IS TEARING AND FRAYING OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WHICH IS CAUSING THE BELT TO GET STUCK IN THE LOOPS OF THE SEAT BELT MECHANISM AND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BUCKLE THE SEAT BELT. THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS IF IT DOES GET STUCK AND LOCK INTO PLACE WHEREIN I CANNOT MOVE OR OPEN THE BELT DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT GETS TIGHT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. IN ADDITION TO WHICH, THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT PROPERLY DUE TO THE TEARING. IN ADDITION, THE SEAT BELT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SHOW SIGNS OF TEARING ALSO. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE FACT OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS NOW HAPPENING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE MECHANICS, COMPONENTS AND/OR MATERIAL OF THE SEAT BELTS AND CHRYSLER IS NOT RECOGNIZING THIS AS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
I RECENTLY HAD AN ISSUE WHERE AFTER DRIVING MY VEHICLE, GOING INTO A BANK AND RETURNING TO START MY CAR, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO START THE VEHICLE BUT NOTHING WORKED. FINALLY IT STARTED AGAIN AT AN AUTO SHOP AND THEN TURNED OFF AND WE TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. THE BATTERY WAS TESTED AS WELL AS THE STARTER. THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH EITHER OR THE COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, AFTER MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STARTING SEARCHING FOR RECALLS HE NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE AND SAID TO CALL CHRYSLER. I CALLED AND ONLY 1338 VEHICLES WERE "QUALIFIED" FOR THIS PART RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL BUT THE ISSUE AT HAND IS THE CULPRIT OF A DEFECTIVE FRONT CONTROL MODULE. RECALL ID # 71686 - VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER SUMMARY: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 1,338 MY 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND COMMANDER VEHICLES. THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY MANUFACTURED. CONSEQUENCES: THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING OR NOT TO START AND/OR CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. ENGINE STALLING OR INOPERATIVE WIPERS COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE RADIO SHUT OFF, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ENGAGED, ALL OF THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP IN THE DASH, AND POWER TO THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS WERE LOST AS WELL AS THE KEYLESS ENTRY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT TO THE METRO JEEP DEALERSHIP IN JOHNSTON, RI. WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE . LATER I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT ON FEBRUARY 6TH 2008 THERE WAS A FACTORY RECALL OF 1338 2008 JEEP COMMANDERS WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES AND RETURNED FOR REPAIR. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND INFORMED THEM OF MY SITUATION AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE MY COMPLAINT TO BE ISSUED AND FOR THESE MATTERS TO BE INVESTIGATED PROMPTLY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
2008 JEEP COMMANDER, 4.7L FLEXFUEL, BOUGHT NEW IN 12/08, HAS WORKED FLAWLESSLY FOR FOUR YEARS AND 66,000 MILES UNTIL NOW. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT AT ANY SPEED, FROM LOW 30MPH TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. REQUIRES THAT THE CAR BE SAFELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TRANSMISSION PLACED IN PARK AND KEY TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. NO PRIOR INDICATION OF STALL - IT SIMPLY 'QUITS'. NO EVIC MESSAGES OR DASH WARNING LIGHTS. THE JEEP HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND NOT ABUSED OR NEGLECTED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, THAT TO DATE, HAS OCCURRED FIVE TIMES SINCE IT BEGAN ABOUT FIVE WEEKS AGO. JUST PRIOR TO STALLING THE DRIVE TRAIN WILL QUICKLY AND VIOLENTLY SHUTTER LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION IS DOING SOMETHING IT SHOULDN'T DO. I HAVE NOT YET BROUGHT THIS TO CHRYSLER SINCE FROM READING OTHER POSTS CHRYSLER HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE SO FAR IN BEING ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER BUT FEAR THAT ONE DAY I MAY BE IN A PERILOUS SITUATION. MY FAMILY HAS ALL JEEPS (91 CHEROKEE, 06 GR. CHEROKEE, AND 08 COMMANDER) AND LOVE THEM. THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR BUYING A NEW JEEP IN THE FUTURE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER IN MAY2011, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER I HAD THE VEHICLE, I WENT TO START IT ONE DAY AND IT WOULD NOT START. I OPENED THE HOOD AND TESTED MY BATTERY, NO PROBLEMS WITH IT, SO I TURNED THE KEY AGAIN AND IT STARTED. I CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS ISSUES EVERY SINCE, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO TWO WEEKS STARTING FINE AND THEN OUT OF THE BLUE IT WILL NOT START. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 14 SEPT 2011, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL (USUALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT WILL START AFTER A FEW MINUTES) SO ON THIS DAY I HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE, THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDNT FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT SAID MAYBE YOU JUST NEED A NEW BATTERY, SO I PURCHASED A BATTERY FOR THE JEEP INSTALLED IT AND FOR TWO DAYS IT WAS GREAT, SO I THOUGHT OK MAYBE IT HAS BEEN THE BATTERY AFTER ALL THIS TIME. TODAY 18 SEPT 2011, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT STARTED AFTER 5 MINUTES. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE, AND THIS IS WHEN I LEARNED OF THE RECALLS FOR MULTIPLE REASONS ON THESE VEHICLES. I LIVE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK AND WINTER IS APPROACHING, I DONT WANT TO BE STRANDED WITH MY FAMILY SOMEWHERE. I JUST REALLY WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON BEFORE I PUT MONEY INTO A NEVER ENDING PROBLEM. *TT
