3 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 04/07/2017

The Commander has an electrical defect that prevents the car from starting. We have traced it back to the alternator wire. It's the design of the wiring that's causing a defect. When I research it this is a problem that most Commander owner's deal with. There's no way to fix the problem. Jeep fiat Chrysler have never addressed this problem. We've replaced the battery and alternator twice now in the last 2 years.

4 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 12/28/2015

While driving my 2007 Jeep Commander, it will shut off. Other times the lights will flicker off and car seems to stall. This problem happens without any warning. It is very scary to be driving on the interstate and the car just stops!!! I have four children that I drive around, so this can not happen! I have read where there have been many complaints about this and nothing has been done. That is unacceptable because lives are at risk. I'm taking the vehicle in for the ignition switch recall, but I have read where that has not fixed the issue I am having.

5 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 11/12/2015

Vehicle has a recall p41/NHTSA 14v-438 that was issued over a year ago. I received a second notice a couple weeks ago that the issue had finally been resolved and to make an appointment with my local Jeep dealer. Dealer is still unable to address the recall and could not give a time when the vehicle could be serviced. The problems with the ignition have become more frequent over the last 3 months. Lights will turn on and off within the vehicle. I am unsure if turning signals and brake signals are affected by this problem.
