2008 JEEP COMMANDER Complaints

THIS JEEP HAS TWO PROBLEMS. AS I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, THE JEEP SHUT ITSELF OFF. IT HAPPENED ONLY ONCE, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A REPEATED ISSUE.REPORT RECEIPT DATE FEBRUARY 6, 2008, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER #08V059000.. THE SECOND PROBLEM I AM HAVING WHICH IS ON RECALL, IS THE IGNITION. ONCE I PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, AFTER PARKING THE JEEP, THE JEEP WILL GO TO THE OFF POSITION, BUT THE KEY CAN NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. REPORT RECEIPT DATE SEPTEMBER 17, 2014, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER#14V56700. I OWN A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER, VIN # [XXX]. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY CALLING CHRYSLER, WHO DID ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT NEVER GOT BACK TO ME, AND I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE JEEP, BUT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T MATCH THE RECALL LIST, THEY REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RECALL NOTICES P57 & K06 , THE VEHICLE REFUSES TO START AND THROWS AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING THAT THE KEYS ARE NOT PROGRAMMED OR INSERTED WRONG. I KNOW THE P57 INVOLVES THE IGNITION BUT DOES NOT COVER THE SYMPTOMS THAT I AM EXPERIENCING. BUT , WHY SHOULD I TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO REPAIR ONE PROBLEM UNTIL THE PARTS FOR THE OTHER PROBLEM ARE AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING EVERY MONTH SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN AUGUST 2014 AND THEY ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. THIS SITUATION HAS LEFT ME WITH A BORROWED VEHICLE AND DISGUSTED. JUST HOW LONG DOES AND WILL IT TAKE FOR THE RECALL PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE ? ALSO THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SIDE AIRBAGS FROM 2010 !! THAT STILL STATES PARTS UNAVAILABLE !! REALLY !?!?! 5 YEARS AND NO PARTS ??? *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START MY 08 JEEP COMMANDER IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAD IT TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH AND KEY FOB. WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE IT COST ME OVER $300 FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE SEEN THAT RECALL P57 WAS ACTIVE ON JEEP COMMANDERS FROM MANUFACTURE DATES OF 5-12-08 AND EARLIER, MY MANUFACTURE DATE IS 5-16-08. THIS SEEMS TO BE AWFULLY CLOSE TO THE RECALL DATE TO NOT BE INCLUDE ESPECIALLY SINCE MINE WAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

MORE THAN ONCE OUR JEEP COMMANDER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, HAS TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN. WHEN THE CAR TURNS OFF YOU LOSE NEARLY ALL BRAKING AND STEERING POWER. LUCKILY NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT, YET. THIS SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE RECENT JEEP IGNITION RECALL, YET NO PART IS AVAILABLE TO ACTUALLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM IS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING, WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE CAR WHICH MEANS WE WERE FORCED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR UNTIL OUR JEEP CAN BE FIXED. *TR

MY WIFE WAS IN THE JEEP WITH MY 3 CHILDREN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH. SHE SAID THE JEEP, WHICH IS 4X4 AND HAS THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINE, DIED WITH NO WARNING. SHE WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. *TR
