| 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!!! | |

Just wanted to post an update. Took my '08 4x4 Limited Hemi into the dealer on 10/8/08 for a Chrysler Corp scheduled "final attempt to repair" service appointment after my attorney sent "Request for repurchase under Georgia Lemon Law" letter. In the week before the appointment 3 of the issues I've had since the first day I picked up the vehicle on 2/28/08 were present. The stereo sound would intermittently go out upon start-up, the sunroof would reverse itself when auto closing if any button in the vehicle were touched, and the vehicle would stall randomly. When I brought the car in I had to move it forward once and it started then immediately stalled right in front of the Service Manager and Chrysler Rep who had come to tell me "what a fine vehicle" I had purchased. So here it is Monday, 10/13/08. I'm still in the crappy Sebring rental as on Friday I was told they could not find a remedy for my stalling problem. I'm guessing that Chrysler Rep. will not be present when/if I can go pick up my "fine vehicle" that I've only been able to manage to put 5k miles on in 8 months because it's in the shop for weeks at a time.
