2008 Jeep Commander complaints

TRANFERCASE SHIFTED INTO NUETRAL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THEN BACK TO DRIVE JERKING THE GEARS AND GEARS ARE NOW POPPING WHILE ACCELERATING.

FUEL TANK WHERE FILLER HOSE CONNECTS HAS STARTED TO LEAK WHEN I FILL TANK. ALSO EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE MADE SO SMALL AND WEAK THAT THEY BRAKE AND DEALER KEEPS TELLING CUSTOMERS THAT ENGINE NOISE OF KNOCKING IS NORMAL ON COMMANDER.

VEHICLE DROPS FROM 70 MPH TO 30 MPH UNEXPECTEDLY AND FREQUENTLY. UNABLE TO GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR. ADDING 1 QUART TRANSMISSION FLUID LASTS FOR A FEW DAYS. NO LEAKS SEEN BY 3 MECHANICS

I CALLED LAST 8/9/18 TO BROUGHT THE ATTENTION ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE. I RECEIVED A RESPOND FROM NHTSA DATED 8/28/18. PLEASE REVIEW YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM FROM MY REPORT. THERE IS ADDITIONAL PROBLEM THAT I JUST EXPERIENCED RECENTLY WHEN WE HAVE A SEVERE STORM HAPPENED LAST 8/10/18 THE SUN ROOF WAS LEAKING AND IT FLOODED THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR. I HAVE TO CLEAR THE WATER AND OPEN ALL THE DOORS TO LET IT DRY AND APPLIED ANTI MOLD DISENFECTANT TO PROTECT OUR HEALTH. ALSO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DISCONTINUED WORKING. THE SYSTEM MONITOR FAILED. DEALER WAS ASKING $ 800.00 TO FIX MONITOR SYSTEM. SOME OF THE ISSUES IN THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT BROUGHT TO THE DEALER DUE TO I HAVE NO FUNDS TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE. NOT ALL PEOPLE HAVE A SUBSTANTIATE FUNDS ESPECIALLY I'M OUT OF JOB. I WAS NOT SURE IF I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE WE BOUGHT IT USE. WHEN WE BOUGHT IT THE MILEAGE WAS 125000 MILES. I'M NOT SURE THE HISTORY OF THIS VEHICLE. I SUGGEST THAT YOU MIGHT FIND THAT INFORMATION THROUGH THE DEALER. AS I RECOLLECT MY PAST COMPLAINTS WAS, WHILE DRIVING 40 MILES (MPH) THE SPEED SUDDENLY REDUCED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNING SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT WOULD ERRONEOUSLY CHANGE POSITIONED WHOLE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION TO THIS BOTH SEAT BELT AT THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT WORKING SO PASSENGER CANNOT ACCESS IT WHILE TRAVELING. WHEN I TURNED ON THE HEATER NOR AIR-CONDITION THERE WAS A ROARING SOUND COMING FROM THE AIR-CONDIT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALBERIC COLN CHRYSLER (551 MARGINAL JF KENNEDY, SAN JUAN, 00920, PUERTO RICO, +1 787-793-2223) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT NEW SPARK PLUGS WERE INSTALLED A MONTH AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE LATCH ON THE 2ND ROW PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT FELL APART AND IS UNUSABLE. THE LATCH ON THE 2ND ROW DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCEPT THE SEAT BELT AND IF IT DOES, WILL NOT RELEASE WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT FORCE MAKING IT ALSO UNUSABLE. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE NO SEAT BELTS IN THE 2ND ROW (EXCEPT FOR SMALL CENTER SEAT) BUT THIS IS ALSO CAUSING THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR TO COME ON & OFF WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 40 MPH, THE SPEED SUDDENLY REDUCED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD ERRONEOUSLY CHANGE POSITIONS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

BOUGHT JEEP BRAND NEW. ONLY COUPLE MONTHS LATER MY FOB WOULDNT START CAR. JUST DEAD. TRIED TO START 20 TIMES BOTH FOBS. RANDOMLY STARTED NEXT DAY. BROUGHT TO DEALER THEY WERE PERPLEXED REPLACED FOB. SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS JEEP WONT START WITH FOB AND THEN RANDOMLY DOES HAD IT TOWED 2 TIMES. I DONT TRUST TO TAKE IT FAR. ONCE WHEN DRIVING ON STREET. JEEP JUST SHUT OFF.VERY SCARY I LOOKED AT PANEL NO LIGHTS NO NOTHING. I WAS LUCKY I WASNT ON A HIGHWAY OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.NO POWER STEERING FORGOT NO POWER CANT STEER.VEERED OVER TOOK FOB OUT , PRAYED..STARTED UP. I DIDNT HIT IT WITH MY KNEE (IVE READ THAT COULD HAPPEN)ALSO MY FOB ALWAYS HAD A GOOD BATTERY. I KNOW THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS ON MY MAKE AND MODEL THAT MATCH MY ISSUES BUT WHEN I CHECK MY VIN # IT DOESNT COME UP. I HAVE OTHER ISSUES THAT MATCH RECALLS ALSO THAT I WILL USE THE OTHER CATEGORIES. THE DATE WILL BE THE TIME I WAS DRIVING SINCE WAS MOST DANGEROUS

LEAKING WATER THROUGH SIDE DRIVER HANDLE ALSO CARPETS SOAKED WHEN RAINS. HAS BEEN HAPPENING THROUGH THE YEARS. SAFETY ISSUE NOW I BELIEVE IS AFFECTING MY ELECTICAL IN DOOR PANEL. PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW WILL NOT WORK FROM DRIVERS SIDE.NOW LEAKING FROM LIGHT FIXTURE. WILL IT AFFECT ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL IN THE FUTURE? WHEN JEEP WAS NEW DOOR HINGE WAS REPLACED RUSTED OUT. NEED IT DONE AGAIN. THIS IS NOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE TO REPLACE HINGES. THE DOOR SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO CRACK IN HALF WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING. WOULDNT BE SUPRISED IF IT FELL OFF. ITS THE SAME SIDE AS THE LEAKS. IM PUTTING TODAYS DATE BECAUSE ITS ALL THE TIME. ALSO IVE READ THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE SUNROOF. BUT NOT VEHICLES BEFORE 2009? ALL RECALLS AND SUITS MATCH MY SITUATIONS BUT MY VIN # DOESNT COME UP?? NOT RIGHT AT ALL. THERE ARE SO MANY FLAWS IN THIS JEEP BUT WHAT IM COMPLAINING ABOUT IS SERIOUS.

THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR AND BRONZED AND HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE VEINS RUNNING TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE MIRROR. I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY AT ALL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE JEEP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS DISCONTINUED AND NOT COVERED BY MY LIFETIME WARRANTY. THE DEALER AND BODY SHOPS HAVE TOLD ME THEY EXPERIENCED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. THE MIRROR HAS DEFROST AND ELECTRICAL MOVEMENT. I FEEL THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES. MY JEEP ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 69,500 MILES AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHER THAN THIS MIRROR. THE SIDE MIRROR AND NOT BEEN DAMAGED IN ANY WAY PHYSICALLY FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED. THE GLASS IS SMOOTH AND DOES REFLECT LIGHT, HOWEVER, I CANNOT SEE CLEARLY AT ALL FROM THE DRIVER SEAT. THE BRONZING DOES NOT ALLOW A REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR OF WHAT IS BESIDE ME.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN AT 5 MPH INTO AN INTERSECTION, ANOTHER VEHICLE FAILED TO YIELD AND CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE ROLLED OVER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED; HOWEVER, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" I OWN A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER WITH A 3.7 LITER ENGINE. I ALWAYS MADE MY OIL CHANGE AT 50,000 MILES OR 6 MONTHS INTERVALS. I HAVE LEARNED THAT JEEP CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLES PRODUCED FROM 2005 TO 2012 ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE OIL PICKUP TUBE NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR GETS CLOGGED WITH SLIM SO THT NO ENGINE OIL REACHES THE PISTONS AND CYLINDER HEAD. WHILE DRIVING, MY ENGINE THREW A PISTON ROD TROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK AND INTO THE OIL PAN. I AM SURE THAT JEEP KNEW OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PICKUP TUBE BUT DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE PULLED FROM THE VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE OIL PICKUP TUBE. I LOVE MY JEEP BUT AGAIN, JEEP KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE 3.7L ENGINE WITH THE 8TH DIGIT OF THE VIN BEING K. JEEP/DODGE/CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS OF THESE VEHICLES ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOW BLOWN ALL DUE TO A DEFECTIVE OIL PICKUP TUBE. THE CUSTOMERS/OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THE 3,7L ENGINE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A NEW ENGINE FOR FREE IF THE ENGINE BLOCK HAS BECOME DAMAGED OR REPLACE THE OIL PICKUP TUBES FOR THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO HAVE THEIR ENGINE BLOWN. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ENGINE AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE TOP ISSUE AND THAT BEING A BAD OIL PICKUP TUBE WHICH CAUSES INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN TAKING BTRASH TO THE DUMP WHEN IT THREW A CYLINDER AND SOUNDED LIKE BROKEN METAL IN THE ENGINE. ENGINE LOST COMPRESSION AND HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED HOME. WHAT I THO

FOR SOME REASON OFF AND ON SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE JEEP BOUGHT IT NEW WE HAVE HAD OCCURRENCES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. JUST IN 2016 WE HAD TO REPLACE THE SOLENOID AND THE STARTER. NOW IN 2017 HAVING TO DO IT AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE SOLENOID GETS TO HOT THE TRUCK DOESN'T WANT TO START AFTER RUNNING FOR A WHILE. AND ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ESP BAS LIGHTS COMING ON WHICH HAS TO BE ELECTRICAL. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT YOU SINCE MANY OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS AND JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. THANK YOU

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT.

WATER DAMAGE COMING THROUGH AND RUINED ALL THE SPEAKERS AND AMPLIFIER. A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER. RAIN CAUSED THE DAMAGE, ALSO MOLD ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR FROM THE WATER DAMAGE.

2008 JEEP COMMANDER SAFETY ISSUE WHERE IT COMPLETELY LOOSES ALL ELECTRICAL AND MOTOR SYSTEMS WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING. IT STALLS OUT ONLY AT LOW RPM OR WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. I LOST ALL SYSTEMS INCLUDING STEERING, BRAKES, AND HAZARD LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP AND PRIVATE AUTO MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE AND IT LEAVES NO SYSTEM EVENTS. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THIS WAS RELATED TO AN EARLIER MODEL COMMANDER RECALL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THEY GREW ANGRY WITH ME AND HUNG UP.

MY JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED MANUFACTURED OCT 23 2007 REFERENCE TO 14V567000 JEEP VEHICLES APRIL 3 2007 TO MAY 12 2008 IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) (EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR) THE IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) MAY NOT RETURN TO THE "ON" POSITION AFTER BEING ROTATED TO THE "START" POSITION, INSTEAD STICKING BETWEEN THE TWO POSITIONS. POTENTIALLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THE IGNITION MAY INADVERTENTLY MOVE THROUGH THE "RUN" POSITION TO THE "ACCESSORY" OR "OFF" IGNITION POSITION, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON FOR MORE THEN 3 MONTHS NOW. CONSEQUENCE SUMMARY: THE IGNITION STAYS BETWEEN "START" AND "ON" POSITIONS CAUSES LOSS OF CERTAIN ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. ENGINES STOPS, STATER CONTINUES RUNNING, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS GO ON AND ETC. TALKING WITH CHRYSLER TODAY HAVE YET TO ADD JEEP 2008 LIMITED LIBERTY TO THEIR RECALL LIST. I'M WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR ADDED TO LIST IF THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THE DISCUSSING PART IT IS MY FAULT IF ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS HAPPENS AND I DID NOT HAVE CHRYSLER DO REQUIRED REPAIRS WITH CHARGING ME FOR IT. MY PROBLEM WITH THIS ANY REPAIR RECORD OF COULD BE LOST. ( THIS SEEMS TO BE THE TREND WITH SERIOUS PROBLEMS )

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TIRE VALVE STEM CORROSION. TIRE VALVE STEMS CORRODE AND BREAK OFF VERY EASILY. LUCKY FOR ME THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF WHILE I WAS PARKED AND FILLING THE TIRE AND NOT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEM IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE TIRE TO LOOSE AIR PRESSURE RAPIDLY. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL JEEP. I REPLACED ALL OF MY VALVE STEMS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES AND THEY COST $107.00 WITH PARTS, LABOR AND TAX AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT DUE TO JEEP KNOWING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF SOON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE SUN ROOF SUDDENLY SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE SUN ROOF WAS IN THE CLOSED POSITION.

AFTER RECEIVING N23 RECALL AND OTHER SOFTWARE UPDATES (P73) THE 4 WHEEL DRIVES SYSTEM DISABLES AT RANDOM. THIS HAS TO BE REPAIRED AT DEALER. ERROR CODE POINTS TO SHIFT ACTUATOR, BUT IN REALITY IT IS SOFTWARE. IF ERRORS ARE CLEARED PARTS FUNCTION FINE. LOSS OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAN BE A LIFE THREATENING. SINCE MOST OF THE TIME 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS NEEDED IS WHEN NOT NEAR HELP. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE ONGOING SINCE 2013. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CONTACTED SINCE 2014 WITH STARCASES. ISSUE HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED. LATEST BREAK DOWN LEFT ME STRANDED WHILE ON VACATION AND HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SHIFTING FAILS RANDOMLY, IT CAN BE WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN TRYING TO ENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE OR JUST DRIVING DOWN STREET AND SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM WARNING COMES ON. ERROR CAN BE CORRECTED SOMETIMES BY PULLING FUSE FOR FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE OTHER TIMES REQUIRES DEALER TO REAPPLY SOFTWARE FLASH. SOME DEALERS REFUSE TO TRY THIS AND JUST PROCEED TO CHARGE TO REPLACE SHIFT ACTUATOR MOTOR.

A COUPLE NIGHTS AGO I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THE LIGHTS WERE DIM AT THE DASHBOARD. AT THE SAME TIME THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD ONLY TURN OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE TURN SIGNALS QUIT WORKING, BUT THE HAZARDS WORK THOUGH, THE DOME LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK UNLESS LENS PUSHED ON BUT NOT FROM TURN SIGNAL LEVER AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. THIS ALL HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. I THOUGHT MAYBE A CLUSTER RELAY WAS BAD. THE MORE I LOOK INTO IT, IT MAY BE THE TIPM IS FAULTY. IN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE, ALTERNATER IS GOOD AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AT RANDOM TIMES.

TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON I-85 WHEN THE JEEP COMMANDER MADE A CLUNK SOUND AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THERE WAS NO POWER AND IT WAS UNABLE TO START. THIS OCCURRED AROUND 10PM WHEN I WAS HEADING HOME AFTER WORK. IT WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE SINCE IT WAS DARK. I WAS EXTREMELY THANKFUL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENTING AND STAYED WITH ME UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. I TOOK IT TO A FIRST MECHANIC WHO STATED THE ENGINE WAS TOTALED. I WENT FOR A SECOND OPINION TO ANOTHER MECHANIC SINCE THE CAR WAS MADE IN 2008 AND HAS ABOUT 112,000 MILES BUT WAS ALSO INFORMED THE ENGINE WAS TOTALED.
