ENGINE
THE JEEP WILL STALL OUT WHILE DECELERATING EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. MOST OF THE TIME IT HAS BEEN WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION FROM SPEEDS OF 30-45 MPH, SO I HAVE LEARNED TO POP THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL TO RESTART THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION. THIS IS HORRIBLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SINCE I OBVIOUSLY CANNOT STEER DURING THE PROCESS, AND HAVE, AT LEAST FOUR TIMES, BEEN MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THEY DON'T EVEN LOG ME IN BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT SINCE I HAVE NO ILLUMINATED INDICATOR LIGHT, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS THAT I WOULD GET RID OF THE CAR, EXCEPT THAT I CANNOT REPLACE IT WITH ANYTHING COMPARABLE. I LOVE MY JEEP AND JUST WANT IT TO NOT TRY TO KILL ME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, IT WILL SHUT OFF. OTHER TIMES THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER OFF AND CAR SEEMS TO STALL. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR JUST STOPS!!! I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE AROUND, SO THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN! I HAVE READ WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE LIVES ARE AT RISK. I'M TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, BUT I HAVE READ WHERE THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE I AM HAVING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE REPLACEMENT DOES NOT CURE THE PROBLEMS THAT IT WAS MEANT TO FIX. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED AT 9:30AM AND THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THAT DAY,IT DID THE SAME EXACT SHUTDOWN AS IT DID BEFORE (WITH ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHING).THE STALLING AND SHUTDOWN DOES NOT OCCUR BECAUSE OF HITTING THE KEY WITH YOUR LEG AS I AM ONLY 5'4" AND MY LEG DOESN'T TOUCH THE IGNITION. THE SHUTDOWN OCCURS BECAUSE OF A SHORT SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE IGNITION. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY AND SOMETIMES CAN BE STOPPED BY LIGHTLY TURNING THE KEY TO THE LEFT. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT THE SHUTDOWN OCCURS AT EXTREME FREQUENCY WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN OR EXTREMELY SLUSHY ROADS, WHICH TELLS ME THAT SOMEWHERE, SOMETHING IS GETTING WET AND SHORTING THE VEHICLE OUT. IT IS VERY HARD TO GET THE LIGHTS TO STOP FLASHING IN THIS TYPE OF WEATHER AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER A COUPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC. I AM STUCK WITH THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF MY FINANCIAL SITUATION AND HAVE FOUGHT FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT BY THE DEALER STARTING 20 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT BUT OF COURSE NOTHING WAS DONE UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT GOT INVOLVED AND SADLY IT STILL HASN'T CURED THE PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU RECEIVE MORE COMPLAINTS AND MAKE THE DEALERSHIP CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE RIGHT WAY.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,[XXX] 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *BF

THIS HAPPENED A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO FOR 1 DAY AND THEN BEGAN STARTING RIGHT AWAY, UNTIL NOW. IT DOES NOT START WITH A BATTERY JUMP, NOR DOES IT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. IT SIMPLY DOES NOT START.
