NHTSA Complaint #10853515 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH EXPERIENCING AN UNINTENDED CHANGE IN IGNITION SWITCH POSITION AND BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS LOOSE MADE IT DIFFICULT AT TIMES TO START AND REMAIN RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR RECALL WORK AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED, HOWEVER UPON PICKING IT UP THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE NEW IGNITION SYSTEM AND THAT YOU HAD TO PRESS AND TURN THE KEY JUST RIGHT FOR IT TO START. THIS CONDITION ONLY WORSENED THE NEXT WEEK AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY STARTED THE STARTER AND THE WIRING TO THE STARTER WAS FRIED AND THAT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE IGNITION REPLACEMENT AND SAID IT WOULD COST OVER $800.00 TO REPAIR!!!
