More than once our jeep commander, while driving on the street or at highway speeds, has turned off on its own. when the car turns off you lose nearly all braking and steering power. luckily no one has been hurt, yet. this seems to be related to the recent jeep ignition recall, yet no part is available to actually fix this problem. because this problem is potentially life threatening, we have no choice but to discontinue use of the car which means we were forced to buy another car until our jeep can be fixed. *tr

The ignition switch started to make a clicking noise while driving. when i turn the ignition off it will not turn all the way off and the key or fobik gets stuck and will not come out. the power stays on. perhaps 1 hour later or longer i can go out and it will turn off and allow the key to be removed. if i forget to go back out to retrieve the key the battery runs low and the car will not stop. i'm stranded. when i park and go anywhere the care is not secure with the key in the igntion, anyone can open the door and steal the car.this ignition was recalled in novemebr of 2014 and to date there has not been a fix. this needs to be fixed asap! how can i be expected to accept this situation?

In jan 2015 our key fob got stuck in the ignition of our 2008 jeep commander. a day later,we were able to free it. on 2/19/15 it would not start and we had to have it jump started twice. once started it drove without issues for 3 days. then on 2/23/15, the jeep would not start and the key fob got stuck in the ignition. the jeep could not move and could not be taken out of park. the only thing that worked were the lights. we tried to jump start the vehicle and tried everything we could think of to release the key from the ignition. the fob would not release so we had to have the jeep towed to the dealership where we purchased it. the mechanic tested the jeep (battery tested fine). they called chrysler to see if they had any parts to fix the issue and discovered that the issue with our jeep was a faulty ignition. the mechanic got the fob released from the ignition by unplugging the battery. he could not guarantee how long this would work. we called the recall hotline and confirmed our jeep commander was listed on recall p57. however, chrysler has no fix at this time. the hotline advised us to get a hold of a chrysler dealership and get a rental car free of charge through them until the jeep could be fixed (at an unknown future date). the local chrysler dealership refused to give us a rental and said they could not look at the jeep for a few weeks. on 2/28 the jeep would not start again so we had to purchase a new battery (at our expense). because of the p57 ignition recall we are worried that we have an unreliable vehicle and that it could also stall while driving and cause an accident with injury or death. we feel unsafe in the jeep! we want chrysler to fix these unsafe ignitions immediately and in the meantime provide us free alternative transportation and reimbursement for our expenses. *tr

Recall notices p57 & k06 , the vehicle refuses to start and throws an error message stating that the keys are not programmed or inserted wrong. i know the p57 involves the ignition but does not cover the symptoms that i am experiencing. but , why should i take the vehicle in to repair one problem until the parts for the other problem are available. i have been checking every month since the recall was issued in august 2014 and they are still unavailable. this situation has left me with a borrowed vehicle and disgusted. just how long does and will it take for the recall parts to become available ? also there is a recall on the side airbags from 2010 !! that still states parts unavailable !! really !?!?! 5 years and no parts ??? *tr

The first incident occurred on 27 nov, as we were driving down a 2-lane highway. we were traveling approx. 60 mph when the jeep made a ?clunk? sound, suddenly the engine lost power and became difficult to steer. i was able to get the vehicle over to the side of the road, got out and did a quick external check to try and see what was wrong. nothing appeared to be wrong. i got back in and tried to start the jeep again, and it did start up. we cautiously proceeded back to our hotel and i immediately looked up the nearest jeep dealer to have the vehicle checked for any mechanical problems. the jeep dealer told me that there were no mechanical problems with the jeep, but that there was an open recall for problems with the ignition switch. the tech told me that the ignition switch on our jeep was loose, which could allow it to slip from the on position to the acc position which would cause the engine to stop while driving. they said there were no parts available yet to fix the problem. they advised that we remove all key chains from the key, but there was nothing else they could do. just two days later, on 29 nov, we had another dangerous incident. this time, we were on the middle lane of a 3-lane interstate. we were traveling at approx. 70 mph when i again heard the loud ?clunk?, the vehicle suddenly lost engine power and became difficult to steer. i immediately put the hazard lights on and tried to get off the highway. we were extremely lucky that there was no vehicle in the lane to the right of us, as i could barely get the jeep off the highway onto the shoulder. if another vehicle would have been close behind us or coming up on the right of us, we would surely have been rear ended. i have contacted both my local jeep dealership and the chrysler corporation regarding a solution to this problem with no assistance from either. *tr
