NHTSA Complaint #10424022 — 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4

IT WAS A RAINY DAY. I PULLED MY CAR IN TO THE GARAGE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. PULLED OUT THE KEY AND ENTERED MY HOUSE. THE GARAGE IS CONNECTED TO MY HOME. I CAME BACK TO THE GARAGE SOME TIME LATER TO FIND THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON. I RAN TO THE DRIVERS SEAT TO SEE NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND VERIFIED THE REMOTE ENGINE FEATURE WASN'T ENGAGED, IT IS DESIGNED TO TURNOFF AFTER THE CAR DOOR IS OPEN FOR A SHORT TIME. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. I BROUGHT IT TO MY HUSBAND, WHO DROVE IT A BIT AND COULD NOT GET THE ENGINE OFF. EVENTUALLY IT SELF CORRECTED. A TRULY DANGEROUS ISSUE SINCE THIS CAR IS PARKED IN MY HOME. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER ABOUT 4 TIMES, AND WHILE THE ENGINE HASN'T DONE THAT AGAIN, VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CAR TURN ON SPONTANEOUSLY. A SINGLE HEAD LIGHT, A SINGLE BRAKE LIGHT, ALL THE LIGHTS. IT SEEMS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NO LONGER HAS FULL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT IS DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS JUST ONE OF MANY 2007 JEEPS THAT ARE HAVING ENORMOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, MY CASE JUST ILLUSTRATES HOW DANGEROUS THIS COULD BE. A CAR ENGINE RUNNING SPONTANEOUSLY IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IT IS CLEAR THIS IS JUST A SYMPTOM OF A COMMON PROBLEM TO ALL THESE JEEPS. *TR
