Problems with 2006 Jeep Commander ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Takata recall my jeep commander has been nothing but trouble since i purchased it i have had all the recalls done by my local jeep dealership and still have to constantly replace wheel speed (abs) sensors and reprogram the computer. at low speeds off aproxamitly 15-20 mph i loose power like the vehicle is trying to starve itself from fuel affecting accelerate so if you pull out into a intersection it practically dies and the. when you go to brake the pedal gets hard and the vehicle keeps rolling i have to replace all 4 wheel sensor (abs) and get computer reprogrammed for it to stop costing hundreds of dollars to do over the time that i have owned the vehicle i have learned to perform such task on my own . but i am sick and tired of every summer having to buy 4 50 dollar sensors and getting charged 125 dollars to redo the computer and not to mention when the jeep decides to act up it put my child and mother to my child in serious danger never knowing when it will misfunction again and like many others i am upside down on the payments of the vehicle due to all the money invested.

When driving on the highway the vehicles engine just stops. power steering is gone if you have to maneuver out of the way it's very difficult when decelerating it seems to down shift very hard like going form 4th to 1st the dash lights flash randomly when ever they feel like it. i've been thru 3 fan speed controls fir the heater this has been happening for the last 2 years

I purchased the vehicle in 2010 and within a month some electrical issues were intermittently occurring. the dealer said the ignition had to be replaced and did so. these problems seemed to continue thought not often. the symptoms are as follows-first the lights start flickering and then go out. all of the dash components go out including the speedometer, fuel gage, radio etc. the ac fan also turned off. this condition did not stop the vehicle from running it just turned off the electrical components there was however a problem with stalling, a separate issue from the electrical issue., a few times while in the vehicle was stopped it would stall when stopping or starting off again. this was true in reverse and forward. i was never really worried about safety until last night when the lights went out while driving on a dark curvy country road. it was only for a few seconds but it was terrifying. this issue needs to be dealt with. in 2015 there were several recalls issued and they seemed to be related to the problems i was having. i had all of the recall notices dealt with. the software upgrades and the ignition replacement. this didn't solve the problem. in fact it

Stalling problems while driving. this issue has been going on for over a year now, i was told by jeep to get p41 recall repaired and possibly fix the problem. i've had p41 done and the same problem keeps happening. everything just completely shuts down and i am unable to steer and have to restart the engine. this has happened to me numerous of times including driving on the freeway. i've contacted jeep customer service, i was told i was the only one they know of regarding this issue which is not true. another problem is dashboard lights will light up on and off while driving. all light indicators will stay on for period of time until car is restarted again.

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!!!

All the electrical on my dash most the time is lines and flickers, but decides to show up once in a while for a minute or two. my big problem is starting the car. it does this click click sound most the time but then starts once in a while out of the blue. i have bought a new battery and alternator within the last year. it also slams from gear to gear! i have had four different diagnostic tests done by different places & i have been fighting with this for a couple years!

The car jumps and then stalls when it is idling in reverse or drive. it also will accelerate on its own and the brakes are hard to press. this happens when the lighting bolt appears and the anti side lights on the dash, then the care either doesn't respond to pressing the gas and is harder to press the brakes. i have to restart the car for it to work. this all began after recalls being updated, it has been diagnosed as my power train control modual and that it has been recalled in other vehicles for the same reasons but there is no recall attached to my vin according to chrysler. ive done research online and numerous other jeep commanders and other jeep modules made around the same time are having the same issue. the problem is on going and has been for over a year but has gotten much worse after fixing of recalls a few months ago. the date below is estimate of when the recall was fixed.

This is in response to the recall for the ignition switch on my 2006 jeep commander. my vehicle has had the ignition switch replaced at the dealership but you should know that the replacement does not cure the problems that it was meant to fix. the work was completed at 9:30am and the next time i drove that day,it did the same exact shutdown as it did before (with all lights on the dash flashing).the stalling and shutdown does not occur because of hitting the key with your leg as i am only 5'4" and my leg doesn't touch the ignition. the shutdown occurs because of a short somewhere inside the ignition. it occurs randomly and sometimes can be stopped by lightly turning the key to the left. i have also found that the shutdown occurs at extreme frequency when driving in heavy rain or extremely slushy roads, which tells me that somewhere, something is getting wet and shorting the vehicle out. it is very hard to get the lights to stop flashing in this type of weather and i have had to pull over a couple times because of the danger of stalling in traffic. i am stuck with this dangerous vehicle because of my financial situation and have fought for something to be done about it by the dealer starting 20 days after i bought it but of course nothing was done until the government got involved and sadly it still hasn't cured the problem. i hope you receive more complaints and make the dealership correct the problem the right way.thank you for your time,[xxx] 'information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).' *bf

The ignition switch was changed at the local dealership (mc cubbins) as per recall and now is too difficult to turn. this repair is unacceptable. what other options are available?

My jeep upon being on the highway and in the right lane suddenly slowed down to the point of stalling and i had to bring the car to the side of the road and began shutting it off when coincidently the the light went on in the roof of the car and my headlight dimmed. i called the jeep place for an oil change and they diagnoised the car and did a recall on the ignition switch and told me the powertrain transfer case is bad and thermostat leaking from the housing and 4 wheel drive failed. i have never used the 4 wheel drive as i recently purchased the car at the end of april and own it for just 7 months. they said it will cost me over $750.00 dollars to be fixed. i called chrysler and they said my vehicle is not included however on your web site nhtsa campain# 13v175000 seems to apply to my diagnoised problems. i love my car but this is a defect in manufacturing and not something that i have done. the previous owner had this car constantly maintained at executive jeep in north haven ct. i want my car fixed at chrysler's cost not mine. i drive my car with my grandchildren in it and now feel it is unsafe.. please help me. i have all records for the car and the diagnostic information should you need it. i also have howard the manager at jeep phone #.
