Ignition Module problems of the 2008 Jeep Commander

My Jeep Commander has had 3 different mechanical diagnostics to diagnose why the vehicle shuts off continually while in motion or stopped. The ignition switch was recently replaced as a part of a recall and this has not solved the issue either. The Jeep will randomly shut off, and all power steering is loss, causing a very unsafe condition until it can be put into park or neutral and turn back on. My last diagnostic showed the auto repair shopped a computer read of �running� while the truck had turned off several times right in front of them. I have spent a large amount of money on diagnostics and no mechanic has been able to find an answer even after the ignition switch was replaced as part of an original recall. I was told by all three auto repair shops that they know there is a stalling/shut off issue but they are unable to fix it because there is no indicator of why through thorough diagnostics. They also noted that when the Jeep shuts off the dash lights do not turn on as it would normally when a vehicle shuts off. When the Jeep has shut off on me driving down a major road at 40 miles per hour my only indicator that my vehicle has shut off is that my steering wheel locks up as the Jeep begins to slow down. The new ignition switch has not remedied the shut off issue and no mechanical shop has been able to diagnose and other reason why. Essentially my Jeep Commander is very unsafe with no solution able to found. I researched further and found that there was a front control module recall on some 2008 Jeep Commanders issued. I believe my Jeep Commander's VIN may need to be added to this recall for this make and model because the ignition switch recall has not fixed the issue and no mechanical diagnostic has been able to answer why. Everything else is completely sound with the Jeep Commander except this issue of shutting off while on, in motion or parked.

The ignition would not turn off and let the key fob be removed. We finally had to have it towed to the dealership as the key would not do anything. Could not get the key to turn on in order to put the Commander in any gear in order for it to be placed on the flatbed. The win module had to be replaced and new keys bought. I do see where the win module is on recall but not the VIN # of my 2008 Commander.

I was notified of the manufacturer recall late 2014, I took it to the local dealership at that time and was advised that they did not have the parts in and that they would be in at some point this year. I asked what the actual risk was they explained the biggest risk was associated with the engine shutting off while driving and was advised to remove my keys off of my key fobs. On April 9, 2015, I parked my car turned the ignition off and then realize that there was a window down. At that point I attempted to restart the car to roll up the window and there was no power. After having the car towed to a local shop and being told they couldn't bring up anything on the computer because the electrical system was shut down, the vehicle was transported to local dealership where they identified that the win module or the wireless ignition node was defective. Now, I have been without a vehicle since that time and they are reporting that the replacement parts will be expected around may 14 of this year however ever since April 16, I have been getting different dates every single time I talk to the dealership. I believe Chrysler has exceeded a fair amount of time to replace this since they knew about it in the summer of 2014 and they have failed to provide a quality replacement part for their product. I have been in contact with both the local dealership and the 1-800 number for Chrysler(888) 327-4236 and they continue to pass me around and inform me that I'm welcome to rent-a-car and have been offered the dealerships discount. Further, they report that they are not sure when the replacement parts will be available but I will be notified as soon as they are.

Brought to dealer who replaced fromt control module ($ 900). Got car and worked for a couple days then it happened again. Brought back to dealer who replaced the ignition. Same problem happened yesterday but today after sitting for 5 hours would not restart. Seems like a common issue that needs to be addressed by manufactuer.
