general problems of the 2009 Jeep Commander

The Commander turns off on its own, brakes on its own, the alarm does its own thing, the esp/bas lights are on, buttons on dash don’t work most of the time, sunroof drain is faulty, and leaks rivers of water into my car! also had my brakes to seize up on me and I couldn’t move from a danged stop sign. I just want a vehicle I can rely on.

A few weeks ago while driving down a country road going around a semi sharp turn the Jeep just shut off. Lights, engine, brakes all power shut off. I was able to place the Jeep in neutral and start it back up. Everytime since while driving the dash lights flicker as well as the headlights. It stalls at times and sometimes the traction control light comes on and stays on until I turn the car off and back on.

My fobik key is getting stuck in the own position and will not let me take the key out without unplugging the battery.

Identical issue as found with NHTSA # 10908927 vehicle stalls while driving and cannot be restarted without putting the vehicle in park. Purchased the vehicle used with 170,000 miles on it. Carfax shows great care into the vehicle, however within first 24 hours after purchase have found it to stall while driving and at idle near 6x. Have taken to auto repair shop/autozone/used ifixit code finder and nothing is found. This has created hazardous driving conditions as it will happen at random.

The airbag light is on and after taking it to the mechanic, I was informed that it will not release in the event of an accident. I searched for a recall as the mechanic suggested and found nothing. Since I have never been in an accident that would set the airbag off, I do not understand why the light is on. The lights on the dashboard, interior lights, autostart, heated seats, rear sensors, and anti skid have all stopped working. Although my car is 9 years old, it has less than 60,000 miles and is well cared for. The mechanic has informed me that I have a faulty board. Faulty sounds like something Jeep should be paying for not me. Bubbling of paint on the hood of the truck and its spreading. Again, all these issues should be covered by Jeep. These issues are the result of poor or faulty manufacturing processes and should not be visited upon the consumer.

My Jeep Commander keeps stalling for no apparent reason. I had electrical issues with my Jeep 2009 Commander 2 years ago and now I get the oil pressure light warning and then the car stalls for no apparent reason. The Jeep dealership doesn't know what is wrong with the car and have had it for 4+ days to try and fix the issue. I am concerned that this could happen at any speed and would put my family (including my 18 month old son) at risk. I hope you pay attention to this complaint and provide a solution for this make and model. Thank you, kendra hart dumfries, va.

I pulled out of a gas station after filling up my tank and was trying to make a right turn and my truck completely shut down, no warning lights came on and I was unable to steer. The truck rolled across 2 lanes of traffic, resting on the concrete divider of the street. I was able to put the truck into park and restart it. I have taken the truck to 2 dealerships and they have been unable to diagnose the issue. I have also contacted Jeep and worked with a case manager with the company and they have been unable to help me.

Approximately 3 months after purchasing my Jeep Commander, it stalled with no warning. All the trucks lights lit up and the power steering would not work. I was able to start it back up and drive. I took it to the dealer and they were unable to help me as they could not recreate the issue. Since then it has happened an additional 2-3 times with the dealership still unable to help me. All times the truck has stalled out and I have been able to restart and drive away. The last time being in September of 2012 while driving on a freeway at approximately 65 mph.
