Round 3. For the past few days the starting problem I had before (TipStart/Remote Start/Normal Start bumps the engine, it turns over then immediately dies.) has returned. Then today, as I was I was driving through the garage at work, I made a very sharp turn the entire vehicle stalled and the electrical all went out. It did start right back up and I drove it straight to the dealer. Now I'm in a rental Liberty, two days before 5 of my family members arrive from California to spend a week me. One of the reasons why I bought the Commander was because of my family coming on this trip and so that I could haul everyone around. I contacted a lemon-law attorney today and the process has begun. When I was at the dealer today I asked the cashier to print out my service history. At the very top it had "Days in service - 19". She looked at it and said "Do they have your mileage correct?" I said "Yep, that's thirty five hundred". She didn't say another word. And, carzinmegenes, this has nothing to do with the dealer. They don't manufacture the ignition modules in the vehicles. This is a Chrysler issue and the fact that they make crap for cars. |

So the Commander is still in the shop. They had to special order a new (second time) ignition module. They traded me out of the rental Liberty Friday into an Aspen. Unfortunately after getting it to my office I realized the keyless remote didn't work. Wouldn't have been a huge deal except that when you lock the doors with the door lock switch or remote, you have to unlock it with the remote or else it sets off the alarm. Ended up at a Land Rover dealership where Enterprise traded me into a Durango (gross base version, of course.). Chrysler is sinking fast into a pit of muck that is their vehicles.

Was it the rubber under the door or the rubber around the door? I'm getting some water on the driver's side floor after a good rain. Can't seem to find any leak evidence anywhere but the wet carpet.

| The newest of the commander problems - out of town over the weekend and about 119 miles from home - shut the car off and filled up with gas - went to start the car back up and it was dead - completely dead in the water - nothing happened, no lights turned on - nothing----- simply dead. Being Sunday dealerships/rental places etc. all closed and 119 miles from home. Called the Chrysler/Daimer emergency number they had a flat bed truck come and bring the commander and us back to our state to our dealership! $413.00 later to tow the sucker!! PO'ed is a mere polite writing here - a 2007 commander with now about 13,287 in miles - first the water, now resolved, though heavily under the door sills and doors freezing all winter. Now this - talked w/dealership you can imagine first thing - they looked at it and informed me it was a starter assembly problem - electronic component which shorted out. How we ask it's an almost brand spanking no mileage vehicle. I've read many of you making similar comments about the car just shutting down electrically - well guess what I can now confirm just that and am only thankful I was at a service station as opposed to being stranded somewhere on a remote highway. Jeep is not the four letter word it should be to us!!! | |
