STRUCTURE:BODY
THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CASING CRACKED AND COMPLETELY CRUMBLED. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE BECAUSE OF THIS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT IT IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM AND NOT AN ISSUE CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS HAZARD IF THE DRIVER NEEDS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY AND CANNOT ACCESS ANOTHER DOOR OR ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE.

SEAT BELTS, SEATS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VEHICLE WAS SOLD WITH NO LIGHTS IN BACK, INCLUDING BREAK AND REVERSE LIGHTS, BROKEN SEAT BELTS IN BACK SEATS AND ONE BACK SEAT THAT DOES NOT FOLD DOWN WHICH BLOCKS REAR VIEW, AND FINALLY WITH BALD TIRES THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. THE LIGHTS WERE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP'S REPAIR SHOP BUT AFTER ONLY A FEW WEEKS THE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THE SEAT BELTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED AND WE WERE TOLD THAT REPLACEMENTS WERE ORDERED BUT THE DEALERSHIP NEVER CALLED BACK TO CONFIRM THAT THEY ARRIVED AND READY FOR INSTALLATION, THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TIRES AND SEAT FOLDING DOWN WERE NOT SAFETY ISSUES AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES OURSELVES. THE SEAT STILL DOES NOT FOLD DOWN AND THE LIGHTS ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE STILL DON'T STAY ON.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
COMPUTER PROBLEMS AFTER N23 & P73 RECALL WORK COMPLETED 11/2015. WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE AFTER RECALL WORK COMPLETED, WHEN STOPPED & SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE IN REVERSE, ENGINE REVERED UP WHEN PRESSESD ACCELERATOR AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. ALSO NOW HAVE INDICATOR MSG THT SAYS " SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE". CALLED CHRYSLER & THEY MADE APPT WITH ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO CHECK/REDO THE RECALL WORK. DEALERSHIP SAID THE FIRST TIME RECALL WORK WAS DONE IT WAS DONE INCORRECTLY & CHRYSLER PAID THEM TO REDO RECALL WORK. CON TIED TO HAVE SAME ISSUES. CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN & THEY MADE APPT WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO RECHECK VEHICLE. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" INDICATOR COMES ON AFTER SO MANY MILES ON VEHICLE & ONLY MEANS TO HAVE NORMAL MAINTANANCE PERFORMED ON VEHICLE, COST $400, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RECALL WORK. EXPLAINED THAT INDICATER CAME ON AFTER RECALL WORK DONE NOT BEFORE SO MILEAGE HADN'T REALLY CHANGED. MORLAN CHRYSLER ATTEMPTED RESETTING RECALL WORK & INSISTED I HAD TO PAY THEM TO PERFORM RECALL WORK. CALLED CHRYSLER & WAS REINBURSED FOR THE COST TO HAVE RECALL REDONE FOR 2ND TIME. CONTINUED TO HAVE SAME ISSUES & DEALERSHIP & CHRYSLER STATED IT'S NO LONGER A RECALL ISSUE. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS THE RECALL IS SUPPOSED TO FIX THAT THE VEHICLE WASN'T DOING PRIOR TO THE RECALL WORK BEING DONE. NOW 2 YRS LATER VEHICLE IS STILL SHIFTING ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE IT IS ALSO SHIFTING IN NEUTRAL DRIVING 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY MAKING IT AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. STILL CONTINUES TO HAVE THE " SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" INDICATOR ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WILL COST $800 TO FIX.PROBLEM IS NOT MECHANICAL BECAUSE VEHICLE CAN BE TURNED OFF AFTER SHIFTING PROBLEMS, ESSENTIALLY RESETTING COMPUTER, & WILL SHIFT NORMALLY AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
JEEP COMMANDER 2006 LIMITED 5.7 L ENGINE. THE COMPLAINT IS AS FOLLOWS: WHILE DRIVING, AT RANDOM, SLOW AND MEDIUM SPEEDS, ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ACTIVATE AT ONE TIME FOLLOWED BY IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. (AT NO TIME DID MY KNEE HIT THE KEY OR IGNITION CYLINDER) THIS ISSUE DOES NOT CLEAR UP ON ITS OWN. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IS TO IMMEDIATELY PUT INTO NEUTRAL, PULL OFF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. (AT THIS TIME, THE CAR IS SPUTTERING SEVERELY OR STALLS) NEXT STEP- TURN THE KEY TO OFF POSITION, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RE START THE VEHICLE. IT STARTS AND RUNS NORMALLY. THE LOSS OF POWER AND DASH LIGHT ACTIVATION IS OCCURRING EVERY OTHER DAY. UPON MY OWN FURTHER INVESTIGATION, MANY REPORTS HAVE BEEN LOGGED (WITH BASICALLY THE SAME COMPLAINT) ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, WITH ADDITIONAL VIDEO PROOF ON U TUBE ( JUST TYPE IN JEEP COMMANDER DASHBOARD HAYWIRE) WITH SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE INCIDENT. CHYRSLER CUSTOMER CARE CLAIMS ( AS OF TODAY) TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT - TOLD ME TO CALL LOCAL DEALER, LOCAL JEEP DEALER (CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW) WAS CONTACTED- THEY CLAIM TO NOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. TOLD BOTH AGENCIES TO GET OFF THEIR BUTT TO LOOK AT CAR COMPLAINTS.COM OR JUST VIEW THE NUMEROUS U TUBE VIDEOS. WITH THIS MANY COMPLAINTS, I FIND IT SURPRISING THAT CHRYSLER TO NOT BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL RECALLS AND HAD THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE COMPLETED MANY MONTHS BEFORE PROBLEM OCCURRED. ANY ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
