Our 2007 Jeep Commander has had a recurring issue for over a year while in operation whether in motion or stationary, vehicle will shut off randomly. When you attempt to restart the vehicle, it starts right back up again. The random vehicle shutdowns take place in all driving conditions and regardless of uphill or downhill driving. Brought the Jeep Commander to the Jeep dealership and they replaced the ignition switch as part of a recall. This did not resolve the problem at all and the dealership was unable to figure out causes for random stalling even when the Commander failed during testing with technicians. I replaced virtually every sensor I could imagine including, throttle position sensor and idle air control sensor, egr, map sensor, air intake sensor and the pcm. No luck, we have the same random stalling and the procedure is, restart the vehicle in neutral for recovery while in motion. The restart does not fail, but the random stalling continues sometimes five or six times on a 100 mile trip. This is dangerous and can get someone or their family killed.

If this recall has such a high risk level of crash, injury, and even death, why hasn't Jeep come up with a remedy. I worked in the united states army combat readiness/safety center which deals with accident investigation and truly understand the risk of injury or even death that comes with this potential materiel failure. If I were the ceo for Jeep or worked in their safety division, I would not put this off any longer. It has been over a year since the discovery of this potential materiel failure and Jeep has done nothing. I recommend that Jeep is proactive to this failure rather than reactive.

Jeep will not repair my vehicle. I have attempted to schedule the ignition switch recall repair for a year. The dealership alleges that it does not have the parts. This vehicle is unsafe to drive. Three drivers in our family have experienced sudden shut-off of the vehicle while driving on city streets and the highway. We have been fortunate that we have not been involved in any accidents as a result. We are not able to completely discontinue our use of the vehicle, but have been forced to use other transportation whenever possible out of fear that the vehicle will shut off while driving and cause an accident. We are not in a financial position to sell the vehicle, especially in its defective condition. I would not, in good conscience, be able to offer the vehicle for sale without disclosing the defect, and I would owe more on the outstanding loan than the amount for which I could sell it. This is outrageous that Jeep will not repair the vehicle. How can it take more than a year to produce the part(s)? how can they continue to produce new vehicles while ignoring this problem? your notice states that the NHTSA is sincerely concerned about my safety, so I'm confused as to why Jeep is permitted to make this matter such a low priority (or completely ignore the problem). Please help, I don't want to become your next statistic.

The vehicle lost all power due to the ignition failure while driving down the road. This has happen multiple times. Chrysler has acknowledged a problem with the ignition switch design and sent out recall (p41/NHTSA 14v-438) in oct of 2014. They have not developed the part yet to fix this recall. The dealerships don't want to touch it until the part is available. The car will sometimes crank and sometimes will not due to the faulty switch. I have contacted and filed a complaint with Chrysler and get the impression they are dragging their feet on this recall. They claim to be developing the part, but that has been 9 months. When the vehicle shuts off going down the road all power is lost including power to the airbags.

Cruise control still does not operate. Single touch power window function no longer works on driver and passenger windows. While commuting to work on the toll road, rpms registered between 2500-3500 going at a speed of 75. The majority of the time, it was between 3000-3500. I did not have the air conditional running. I was not accelerating and was not going up or down inclines to cause the higher rpms. After exiting the toll road, I turned and while accelerating to around 40mph, the engine stalled and the check engine light came on. As I was on an inside lane, I had to slow down to allow a semi to pass on the outside lane in order to be able to pull over to the side of the road. I had to place in park, turn off the ignition switch, and turn it back on. Check engine light remained on. My average mpg was 13. 9, lower than it should be. Leaving for my commute home, when I turned on the Jeep, the check engine light was no longer lit. I noticed during the commute that the rpms were not as high as in the morning, and also my mpg increased by almost a mile per gallon, and that was running at the same speed and I also was running the air conditiioning. Upon exiting the toll road, the vehicle jerked heavily while downshifting from overdrive. A jerky motion continued for the remainder of my commute (ranging from 30-55 mph). Please note that I do now take photos after the engine stalls to reflect the mileage and that the light is lit. I also now take pictures when the check engine light goes off.
