2006 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START. TURN KEY ON, GET A HALF CRANK, THEN NOTHING. AFTER 5-10 MINUTES OF TRYING, IT WILL FINALLY START. HAD AN IGNITION RECALL, WHICH THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED BY JEEP DEALER. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE STARTER. STILL HAVING THE ISSUE AFTER HAVING IT LOOKED AT 4 TIMES. THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN IT IS IN THE SHOP, SO THEY CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN 09/15 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING THE ISSUE EVER SINCE.

N23 RECALL PERFORMED PRIOR TO PURCHASING USED JEEP COMMANDER. A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING I RECEIVE A "SERVICE 4WD" MESSAGE AND AM UNABLE TO TO USE 40. CHRYSLER DEALER HAS FLASHED FDCM WHICH CORRECTED THE ISSUE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, HOWEVER THE SERVICE 4WD HAS COME BACK ON. THE SERVICE 4WD APPEARS ON STARTUP NEARLY EVERY TIME.

REGARDLESS OF DISTANCE TRAVELED, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, THE 'TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP' MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH. HAD COOLANT FLUSHED 2X BUT MESSAGE STILL APPEARS INTERMITTENTLY. HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT MORE THAN A FEW TIMES, HOWEVER COULD NOT REPLICATE MESSAGE AND THUS NO RESOLUTION/FIX TO PROBLEM. JEEP RECENTLY HAD IGNITION SWITCH RECALL COMPLETED (THOUGHT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN) BUT 'TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP' WOULD OCCUR PRIOR TO THAT RECALL BEING COMPLETED. THOUGHT THE TWO WERE CONNECTED SOMEHOW. MAIN CONCERN IS THE ENGINE DOES NOT OVERHEAR, TEMP READS BELOW MIDDLE MARK BUT WHEN TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARS, AFTER A FEW MINUTES, TRANSMISSION FEELS 'OFF' OR JUMPY. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY HAPPENING. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, NOT CONFIDENT TAKING IT ON LONG TRIPS BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR, NOT TO MENTION BEING STRANDED. THIS IS MY GIRLFRIENDS TRUCK AND I'M NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING HER DRIVE TOO FAR, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENING. HIS IS INCONVENIENT BECAUSE WE TAKE CARE OF OUR VEHICLES, THIS TRUCK HAS LOW MILES, 62,000. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS BECAUSE WE LOVE THE TRICK BUT CANNOT TRUST TAKING IT ON TRIPS, TOWING OUR BOAT WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF HAVING TRUCK. WHAT A STRESSFUL VEHICLE TO HAVE. VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS TRUCK. AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY, ON THE HIGHWAY AT TIMES, IN TRAFFIC, SMALL TRIPS, AFTER SITTING PARKED AFTER A SHORT TRIP, MESSAGE REAPPEARS ONCE TRUCK IS STARTED AGAIN. NO RHYME OF REASON TO THIS.
