Ignition problem ..dealer replaced ignition due a recall on vehicle, but the problem was not fixed.dash turns off suddenly while driving and car stops suddenly too.have to start it sgain. dealer replaced the ignition switch to prevent this to happen, but it's happening now more than any time. people say that the problem wasn't solved after replacing the ignition.
A window went about 1/3 of the way down and stopped. could not get it to go up or down after that. the vehicle was parked at the time. we wondered if it was the motor. we watched a video on the internet on how to check it and it said to check the wires behind the door panel because it is a common problem for this type of vehicle to have broken wires and low and behold that's exactly what had happened. windows need to open and close.
The seat belt wont latched unless you press down the released button on both driver and passenger. also the panels leaked on passenger side and the top.
My jeep loses power every time i drive it stalls out while driving (scary when it happened on the freeway) at times it stops shifting and then slams like the whole transmission fell out of jeep.
Vehicle filled with smoke while driving and heard a large explosion that shook the seats, pulled over and called emergency services for fire under passenger side rear floor board.
Takata recall as i was driving my car on the four lane my car started to have white rubber smelling smoke fill the car and all my dash lights went crazy, my radio kicked off and my speakers and my turn signals quit working. i started to panic and stopped on the side of the rode. i had my kids in the car so i first removed my children then tried to find the problem. at this point my car was completely full of smoke n it like as if it was burning down. my wiring in the cars passenger side rear floor board had caught on fire ! the fire burnt through my floor and my floor mats. i almost choked to death on the smoke and had to take the battery out of the car to kill the power and dump water on the floor.

When we first got the car it was working like any normal car, however, after less than a month we started to notice a lot of change. the first problem we started to see was the whole screen turned off we are able to play music but only radio station that was saved. we are unable to tune/seek to a new radio station. then we started to notice during the rainy season that water would enter into our car. after many tries of solving this issue, it is still happening to our car. the section where the petals are always wet and we have closed the sunroof and the cover but, nothing seems to work. now today the check engine turn on and also the oil in the dashboard behind the steering wheel. we are worried about the safety of the car and hope to see changes soon from you. thank you for reading the issue we constantly face.
All the lights on my dash panel went on & i lost power of the vehicle driving down the road. it came back on then off & on. this has happened several times. my catalytic converter has broken into a few pieces. the dealership said this happens often to these vehicles & believes there is a recall on them. i have had my vehicle 4 1/2 yrs & this is the 2nd time it needs to be replaced. my struts have gone a few times on my 2006 jeep commander. the rear seatbelt in the middle & driver rear don't latch & when they do its really tight on my daughter. lastly multiple issues with the rear doors both passenger & driver sides. the handles don't work all the time. they have both been fixed 3 different occasions. they open when they feel like it. the child lock is not on.
Vehicle will turn on but shuts off after a few seconds. recalls were fixed

At 100k with no warning, engine runs hot, i wait for 30 min to cool down.. drive again and it runs hot.. mechanic says head gasket blown..smdh.. along with that it was raining and the sunroof starts leaking. 8 months prior i had to replace the transmission. what a jeep and i am still paying on it.!! the jeep people needs to recall these and at least reimburse people, now im stuck with buying a 5000 engine on a set income...basically couldve bought a brand new car with the funds i put out so far..
While raining water drains into vehicle from sunroof causing electrical problems. lights constantly flickering, dashboard lights constantly turning on and off, interior water damage, rusting inside components. this incident happens constantly forcing me to keep headlights on high beam at all times while the car is stationary as well as in motion on streets as well as highways. this problem causes unnecessary problems being that while the car is going through this the turning signals, wiper blades, air conditioning turn off and on. even though my car was serviced under warranty for rear seatbelts the belts are constantly jamming keeping my children captive and at some points it will not successfully latch.
The vehicle has power failure while driving and while stationary with engine running! the dashboard instrument panel, gauges, lights, hvac, radio, etc. shuts off but the vehicle still runs, and it continues to turn off and on over and over again. also, it occurs whether on a smooth surface in motion or when you hit a bump in the road, and it occurs when the vehicle is sitting still with engine running. it makes you feel like the vehicle is about to shut off. this occurs every time i drive my vehicle, regardless of the location. there is a safety recall for the ignition switch, and i feel this problem may be related to that issue.
