NHTSA Complaint #10554340 — 2008 JEEP COMMANDER

PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER IN FEB 2009. IT HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING DURING THE PAST 6 MONTHS. IN NOVEMBER 2013 (ON THANKSGIVING MORNING) DROVE IT TO THE STORE AND WHEN I CAME BACK IT DIDN'T START. HAS TO CALL A TOW TRUCK, OVER THE HOUR WHILE I WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK IT DIDN'T START AND I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE MECHANIC CAUSE THE CHRYSLER SERVICE STATION WAS CLOSED ON THANKSGIVING THROUGH DEC 2ND. THE MECHANIC TRIED TO START THE TRUCK ON 11/28 FRIDAY AND IT STARTED. HE HAS HAD THE TRUCK SINCE 11/28 AND EVERY TIME HE GOES TO START IT, IT STARTS WHICH DOESN'T HELP ME CAUSE HE CAN'T PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER SERVICE STATION AND THEY CAN'T TAKE ME UNTIL 12/11. BIGGER QUESTION IS WHY ISN'T MY TRUCK INCLUDED IN THE CHRYSLER # H03 RECALL? IT IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS EXPLAINED IN THE RECALL, YET WHEN I CALL CHRYSLER THEY TELL ME MY 2008 JEEP ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL AND THE 2008 RECALL INCLUDES THE JEEP. IT'S AN AMBIGUOUS DECISION AND LEAVES PEOPLE IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS. MY TRUCK HAS A PROBLEM AND IT CAN'T BE FIXED UNLESS IT HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE IN A SERVICE STATION SO IT CAN BE DOCUMENTED BY A COMPUTER. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BY DODGE / CHRYSLER TO FIX IT WITHOUT ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MANY PEOPLE. *TR
