Starter Solenoid problems of the 2008 Jeep Commander

For some reason off and on since we have owned the Jeep bought it new we have had occurrences when the vehicle wouldn't start. Just in 2016 we had to replace the solenoid and the starter. Now in 2017 having to do it again. The problem is when the solenoid gets to hot the truck doesn't want to start after running for a while. And also having issues with the esp bas lights coming on which has to be electrical. I was told to contact you since many other Chrysler owners and Jeep owners have had the same issues. Thank you.

My 2008 Jeep Commander will not start. I still have power to my radio, power locks and seats, lights work. The battery and alternator have both been checked and are running fine. The truck will start if it is jumped. I have been doing some research and I have found many people with the same issues. Turns out it is the solenoid wire which apparently has poor weather proofing and corrodes after some time. Now I need to bring it in and pay for this fix out of pocket so that I have a source of transportation for my family. There really needs to be a recall on this issue, seeing as how there are so many people having the same problem. Please refer to this site, where I found all this information. . Read more...

On Saturday oct. 25 at 10am we were driving the Commander and all of the warning lights came on and stayed on. The radio and accessories cut off as well. The Commander was serviced again on oct. 27 for this issue and they replaced the wireless ignition again. November 4, 2008 the Commander stalled at 10:30am while it was stationery and then again at 11:05am while at a stop light. November 4, 2008-November 6, 2008 the Commander stayed with the dealership over the course of two days to see if they could duplicate the problem. November 14, 2008 my wife was driving the Commander at 12:30pm and was stopped at an intersection. She began to slowly lift her foot off the brake pedal and the engine revved up and the Commander went flying into the intersection. December 8, 2008 the vehicle sat idle in park for less than two minutes before the engine stalled out. All accessories remained on and the ignition switch remained in the on position, but the engine was stalled. December 15, 2008 while sitting at a stop light, the Commander began to shake and the rpm gauge slipped below a reading of 0. 5. This is a problem that has been ongoing with the Commander. December 20, 2008 at approximately 10 am and was stopped at a stop light. The engine of the Commander revved up while she had her foot on the brake pedal. The engine rev lasted approximately two to three seconds in length going up to 2. 5 rpm. December 29, 2008 brown and wood serviced the Jeep again and installed a purge valve/solenoid. It was serviced from 8:30am-9:30am. December 30, 2008 my wife got into the Commander at approximately 5 pm this evening. She started the Commander and left the vehicle in park while completing a telephone call. Within three minutes of starting the vehicle the engine stalled. January 5, 2009 my wife was driving the vehicle at 12:10 pm. She was stopped at a red light and was preparing to resume driving as the light turned green when the Commanders engine stalled.
