2008 Jeep Commander 4X4

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED, BUT WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 111,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 13V175000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN) AND 14V567000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING NOTICED WINDOWS, SUNROOF, RADIO, SEATS, AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS WHERE NOT OPERATING AT ALL. THEN AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON. TRIED RESTARTING AND RESETTING SYSTEMS BUT HAD NO LUCK. HAD A FRIEND BRING OTHER KEY FOB AND ALL SYSTEMS BUT FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WERE NORMAL FOR REMAINDER OF FIFTEEN MILE TRIP. UPON NOTIFYING DEALERSHIP ABOUT RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED FOR TRANSFER CASE PROGRAMMING. THEY ASSURED MY FAMILY IT WOULD SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS. BEING AN HONEST MECHANIC THAT I AM, I TOOK THERE WORD. TWO WEEKS LATER SAME PROBLEMS AND WAS GETTING WORSE FUEL MILEAGE THEN BEFORE PROGRAMMING.(6 MPG LESS) I HAD TO LEAVE WORK TO TAKE COMMANDER BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID PROGRAMMING DIDN'T PROGRAM. AFTER LEAVING RETURNED TO WORK AND DECIDED TO TEST FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. SAME RESULTS, SERVICE FOUR WHEEL SYSTEM LIGHT AND FOUR LOW DIDN'T WORK. RETURNED THIRD TIME FOUR LOW WORKED FOR ONE WEEK BUT RADIO COMPLETELY STOPPED PRODUCING SOUND. NOW THEY SAY I'M OUT OF MY TEN THOUSAND MILE PROGRAMMING WARRANTY. I WOULD RATHER HAVE OLD PROGRAMMING BACK AT LEAST THEN I COULD USE FOUR LOW AND IT DIDN'T SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I LET OFF THROTTLE. VERY WORRIED ABOUT FAMILIES SAFETY. PLEASE HELP! *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER ON DECEMBER 15TH 2012 AND HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE STALLING. WE WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE DIES. ITS ALWAYS RESTARTED BUT WE NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO STALL OUT AND DIE. THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE YESTERDAY AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO REACT. SHE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN SHE TRIED TO EXIT A BUSY FREEWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED !!!! I READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN WITH THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE. MANY JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS HAVE COME FOURTH WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER JUST TELLS US ALL THE SAME THING. WE DIDN'T RECALL YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL SO THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO OR WILL DO. I HOPE SOMEONE ACTUALLY READS THIS AND HELPS US OUT !!! PLEASE DON'T LET ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS JUST GO TO A BLACK HOLE NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN !!! I KNOW I AM NOT AS RICH AS THE CHRYSLER CEOS AND EXECUTIVES WHO PAY PEOPLE TO KEEP QUITE ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS BUT MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY DO MATTER !!! P-L-E-A-S-E----H-E-L-P !!!!! *TR
