"TAKATA RECALL" I OWN A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER WITH A 3.7 LITER ENGINE. I ALWAYS MADE MY OIL CHANGE AT 50,000 MILES OR 6 MONTHS INTERVALS. I HAVE LEARNED THAT JEEP CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLES PRODUCED FROM 2005 TO 2012 ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE OIL PICKUP TUBE NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR GETS CLOGGED WITH SLIM SO THT NO ENGINE OIL REACHES THE PISTONS AND CYLINDER HEAD. WHILE DRIVING, MY ENGINE THREW A PISTON ROD TROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK AND INTO THE OIL PAN. I AM SURE THAT JEEP KNEW OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PICKUP TUBE BUT DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE PULLED FROM THE VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE OIL PICKUP TUBE. I LOVE MY JEEP BUT AGAIN, JEEP KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE 3.7L ENGINE WITH THE 8TH DIGIT OF THE VIN BEING K. JEEP/DODGE/CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS OF THESE VEHICLES ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOW BLOWN ALL DUE TO A DEFECTIVE OIL PICKUP TUBE. THE CUSTOMERS/OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THE 3,7L ENGINE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A NEW ENGINE FOR FREE IF THE ENGINE BLOCK HAS BECOME DAMAGED OR REPLACE THE OIL PICKUP TUBES FOR THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO HAVE THEIR ENGINE BLOWN. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ENGINE AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE TOP ISSUE AND THAT BEING A BAD OIL PICKUP TUBE WHICH CAUSES INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN TAKING BTRASH TO THE DUMP WHEN IT THREW A CYLINDER AND SOUNDED LIKE BROKEN METAL IN THE ENGINE. ENGINE LOST COMPRESSION AND HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED HOME. WHAT I THOUGHT MAY BE A STARTER PROBLEM, I NOTICED THAT THE CYLINDER ACTUALLY WENT THRU THE BLOCK AND OIL PAN. GOOGLE UP DODGE/JEEP/CHRYSLER OIL PICKUP TUBE COMPLAINTS, YOU WILL FIND THAT THEIR ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE MAINLY EFFECTING THE VEHICLES FROM 2005 TO 2012 WITH THE 8TH DIGIT OF THE VIN BEING A LETTER (K). LIKE TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACED WITH A GOOD USED ENGINE AT NO COST TO ME.

NOW IN 2017 HAVING TO DO IT AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE SOLENOID GETS TO HOT THE TRUCK DOESN'T WANT TO START AFTER RUNNING FOR A WHILE. AND ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ESP BAS LIGHTS COMING ON WHICH HAS TO BE ELECTRICAL. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT YOU SINCE MANY OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS AND JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. THANK YOU

2008 JEEP COMMANDER SAFETY ISSUE WHERE IT COMPLETELY LOOSES ALL ELECTRICAL AND MOTOR SYSTEMS WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING. IT STALLS OUT ONLY AT LOW RPM OR WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. I LOST ALL SYSTEMS INCLUDING STEERING, BRAKES, AND HAZARD LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP AND PRIVATE AUTO MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE AND IT LEAVES NO SYSTEM EVENTS. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THIS WAS RELATED TO AN EARLIER MODEL COMMANDER RECALL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THEY GREW ANGRY WITH ME AND HUNG UP.
