2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Power Train Problems

MY CAR ALL OF THE SUDDEN WOULDN'T TURN ON, IT SAID DAMAGED KEY, THE KEY IS FINE, IT UNLOCKS AND LOCKS WITHOUT A PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR WONT START. I'VE BEEN TOLD IS THE WIN

AFTER APPLICATION OF THE N23 SOFTWARE FLASH, 4WD LOW IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT IN 4WD LOW, THE ONLY REACTIONS IS A SERVICE 4WD MESSAGE. THE DEALERSHIP NOR CHRYSLER/JEEP WILL ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR BREAKING THE FINAL DRIVE AND WANT TO CHARGE EXORBITANT FEES FOR TROUBLESHOOTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED, BUT WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 111,000.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT/ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT DOWN. VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING AND DRIFTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH LIMITED CONTROL AND NEARLY AVOIDING SEVERAL VEHICLES. VEHICLE REMAINED OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE AND WAS SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 13V175000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN) AND 14V567000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING NOTICED WINDOWS, SUNROOF, RADIO, SEATS, AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS WHERE NOT OPERATING AT ALL. THEN AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON. TRIED RESTARTING AND RESETTING SYSTEMS BUT HAD NO LUCK. HAD A FRIEND BRING OTHER KEY FOB AND ALL SYSTEMS BUT FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WERE NORMAL FOR REMAINDER OF FIFTEEN MILE TRIP. UPON NOTIFYING DEALERSHIP ABOUT RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED FOR TRANSFER CASE PROGRAMMING. THEY ASSURED MY FAMILY IT WOULD SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS. BEING AN HONEST MECHANIC THAT I AM, I TOOK THERE WORD. TWO WEEKS LATER SAME PROBLEMS AND WAS GETTING WORSE FUEL MILEAGE THEN BEFORE PROGRAMMING.(6 MPG LESS) I HAD TO LEAVE WORK TO TAKE COMMANDER BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID PROGRAMMING DIDN'T PROGRAM. AFTER LEAVING RETURNED TO WORK AND DECIDED TO TEST FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. SAME RESULTS, SERVICE FOUR WHEEL SYSTEM LIGHT AND FOUR LOW DIDN'T WORK. RETURNED...

LEFT CAR ON BUT IN "PARK" AS WE PUMPED GAS. ABOUT A MINUTE INTO PUMPING GAS, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD A FEW INCHES THEN CAME TO A STOP AUTOMATICALLY. *TR

I HAD JEEP RECALL N23 PERFORMED ON MY JEEP COMMANDER 2008 4X4. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED MY 4WD SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS AND FLASHES THE WARNING "SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM". THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL JEEP PERFORMED THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER HAVE RECALL N23 APPLIED, 4WD SYSTEM FAILED TO ENGAGE. DEALER CHARGED ME AND REPLACED TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR. 4WD SYSTEM FAILED A MONTH LATER, DEALER STATES VEHICLE NEEDS ANOTHER TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR. SEEMS LIKE THIS RECALL CAUSED DAMAGE TO SYSTEM. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER ON DECEMBER 15TH 2012 AND HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE STALLING. WE WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE DIES. ITS ALWAYS RESTARTED BUT WE NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO STALL OUT AND DIE. THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE YESTERDAY AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO REACT. SHE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN SHE TRIED TO EXIT A BUSY FREEWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED !!!! I READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN WITH THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE. MANY JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS HAVE COME FOURTH WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER JUST TELLS US ALL THE SAME THING. WE DIDN'T RECALL YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL SO THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO OR WILL DO. I HOPE SOMEONE...

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 JEEP COMMANDER (W/APPROXI. 50 MI) FROM SANSONE'S ROUTE 1 AUTO MALL ON 6/11/09. WITHIN 48 HRS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE (AT 150 MI) THE SHIFT GEAR AND TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. ON 6/13/09 I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO JERSEY CITY, NJ. AFTER REACHING MY DESTINATION, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO UNLOAD. WHEN I FINISHED, I COULD NOT SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK WITHOUT ENGAGING THE SHIFT LOCK MANUAL OVERRIDE (AS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL). DURING THIS TIME THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON AND THE ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER DISPLAYED 'SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM'. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ALERT THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND I WAS ASKED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED. ON THE WAY TO AVENEL FROM JERSEY CITY, THE VEHICLE DROVE WITHOUT ISSUE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES. HOWEVER, AFTER PROCEEDING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND STOPPING...

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, AND I HAVE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES NOW OVER STALLING ISSUES. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE MAP SENSOR, WELL IT STALLED OUT THE LIKE 1-2 DAYS LATER. THEN THEY THOUGH IT NEEDED A TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE. JUST THE OTHER DAY MY FAMILY AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM MY INLAWS AND IT STALLED AGAIN AND THIS TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTER SECTION AND I WAS SO MAD. I FINALLY PUSHED THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COULD NOT START IT, IT TOOK ABOUT 1/2 OF AN HOUR TO START IT AND HOLDING DOWN THE GAS PEDDLE. WELL OFF TO THE DEALER AGAIN. I GOT A CALL THE MORNING OF 10/14/2008 AND THEY THINK ITS THE FUEL PUMP NOW, COME ON IT HAS ONLY 14K...
