| 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 | |||

| On july 21, 2010 my blinkers and dash lights were not functioning. i took the vehicle to the dealership for repair. they replaced the multi-function switch and updated the key fobs per a recall notice. $240.32 charge. on august 24th, 2010 i experienced being locked inside of my vehicle in 100 degree heat. i could not open the windows, doors, or sunroof. the a/c did not function and the dash lights were not functioning. at this time they did something to the control module. under warranty - no charge. on july 13, 2012 i took it to the dealership because the vehicle was stalling at high rates of speed (it felt like we were being rear-ended), the check engine and other warning lights were illuminating. they reprogrammed the pcm. under warranty - no charge. on october 4, 2012 i returned to the dealership as the vehicle was again stalling at high rates of speed, and also shutting off at low rates of speed or while idling. the service department was able to reproduce the problem and replaced the powertrain control module. under warranty - no charge. today while driving i experienced both stalling at high speeds and the vehicle turning off at low speed. i have another appointment scheduled for tomorrow. my safety and the safety of others is at risk by driving this vehicle. *tr | |||

| 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 | |||

| This 2008 jeep commander 4x4 4.7 liter v8 was just purchased used. the 1st day it stalled at a stop sign. then stalled at a drive through. the second day the stalling contimued including accellerating from a stop sign about 30 mph. would turn over but not restart at first, but then i discovered that when cycling the key to off and back on again it would restart instantly. the local jeep dealer has verified the issue occurs, but has had it for 3 weeks with no idea of a resoloution. they report being in contact with chryslers star technical support... again no action or resoloution. i discovered the prious owner had vehicle in for the same issue with no resoloution. it is just like you turn the key off; no power steering, no power brakes. when searching for information in google... it is appears to be a very common issue, but i can find no resoloutions myself. | |||

| Driving my 2008 jeep commander on the highway approximately 55mph and the vehicle stalled and the entire electrical system power went out. had to pull over turn off the vehicle, pull the key out, and restart. vehicle resumed normal operation. i have experienced many times since i purchased the vehicle in 2008 where my electrical system failed, and one previous occurence where the engine stalled and the electrical system failed, but on those occurences the vehicle was not in motion. i have taken it into the dealer on numerous occasions since 2008 and described the problem with feedback from the dealer that there was no recall for my vehicle and that they could not duplicate the symptoms i was experiencing. investigated on nhtsa.gov and noticed the issue, campaign id number 08v059000. this capaign almost exactly describes the issue i am experiencing. however it states that they only recalled 1338 vehicles in 2008, and mine was obviously not one of them. the dealer should atleast know of the issue and/or i should be notified by chrysler, which i was not. | |||

| While driving, pulled to red light and stopped. 2008 jeep commander with the v6 shut down, lost all power. key would not disengage, totally locked up. called for roadside and after fifteen minutes, turned key and jeep started. drove to dealership. they found nothing on the onboard computer but tightened the battery cables and replaced the key fobs. as this is a commuter vehicle and it seems this problem has happened with other jeep commanders while going at speeds up to 50 mph. i'm very concerned that this is an issue that should be resolved, before someone gets hurt. | |||

| On numerous occassions our 2008 jeep commander overland will not start. i'll insert the key fob into the slot, turn, and then nothing happens. usually after a few attempts the truck will start. (the dealership currently has the truck and still is unable to resolve or isolate the problem). | |||
