2010 Jeep Commander Problems, complaints & recalls

ENGINE FIRE UNDER NORMAL OPERATION

My jeep will not crank sometimes...the key will not turn. The ignition control module seems to be a problem.

Started the vehicle by inserting the key fob. Turned the key and the vehicle dash lit up and went out immediately. Tried to turn the key again and nothing happened. Could not turn the key and it was difficult to remove the key fob from the ignition.

The engine failed while driving at major intersection. Multiple individuals had to assist and avoid causing an accident. After a week at diagnostic Jeep service department, techs determined compression failure in cylinders 2 and 4 with 0 psi. There no codes or check engine lights other than a brief blinking right before failure.

The electrical system of my car malfunctioned intermittently causing lights, ac, and the engine itself to go off and on in the middle of the freeway. There was a recall on the 2010 Jeep Commander (same as my car) for faulty electrical system, yet my VIN was excluded. I believe it should have been included in the recall and this faulty electrical system was the cause of multiple repairs done at my expense to the tune of a couple thousand dollars. I ask for a query into this. The electrical system is the nexus of a...

FOUR (4) Cooper Adventure HT 245/65R17 were purchased in late 2019 from PepBoys at 6900 Highway 6 North, Houston, Tx 77084.

Fortunately i was able to replace blowout tire with the spare but my son's safety and my own safety was compromised as the shoulder on...

Engine stalled at stop signs, Daughter was driving the vehicle and engine stalled at an intersection. Not able to restart it. Vehicle was pushed to the side. I went to assist her and after many tries the engine restarted, I started to drive and the engine will stall as n DC shutdown at all stop signs/ traffic lights. I managed to drive it to the Jeep dealer shifting into neutral and pressing the gas to keep the engine running. No engine lights were present, temperature was normal and vehicle had 1/4 tank of gas. After a 5 days in the the dealer, they indicated that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, no codes.

The battery light came on about 5 minutes after I started driving through residential streets and onto a freeway. I exited the freeway and went to the auto store where I had originally purchased the battery from, about a year ago, which is less than 5 miles from my house. They tested my battery and said the battery was good but my alternator was bad. I drove my jeep commander home and parked it in the garage, per usual. When I exited my jeep there was no odor, no smoke, no sound of any sorts coming from under the...

Ignition key would come out of switch while engine was running.

While driving my radio shuts on and off constantly. Sometimes my dash lights flash and beep then my odometer dials start to flutter up and down and my blinker will hesitate when it's on.

Timing chain broke on motor causing catastrophic damage to the v8 hemi. Recalls on other vehicles with this motor but chrysler says not enough people have complained to cause recall on jeep. Stupid answer. Problem is not the vehicle motor is in its the motor. Jeep was still financed so had to pay out of pocket for a new motor while still paying for the jeep.

" Takata recall" I am the original owner of a 2010 jeep commander. Unfortunately, this past week the timing chain broke and left me stranded on the side of the road. Thank goodness it was not during rush hour. There was no warning and could have caused an accident. Let me start by stating that this jeep has been meticulously cared for from day 1 and every recommended service and oil change has been done on time. This is our family car and not an off road toy. I drove my jeep with respect and care. So,...

With no warning,(no noise from engine) traveling about 25mph engine light flash on, lost all engine power, became hard to steer, was able to safely pull the vehicle out of the road. Later learned that the timing chain broke. I also learned that chrysler corporation recalled this engine 5.7 Hemi in other products, but not the jeep. This is a time bomb

I lost my steering, my breaks and acceleration. When I came to a stop half way in the turn lane of the main road I got out to see what had happened. My front driver side tire was laying up under my jeep. It had busted my upper and lower ball joints, my cv shaft, and my break lines and also bent my...

STALLING WHILE DRIVING

I have had to replace the battery in my car 4 times since I purchased the vehicle 5 years ago.

Along the entire upper body of the car there are cracks in the paint which I attributed to a paint defect. It now has rust damage to the upper frame above the windshield and on the roof of the vehicle where the cracks were. Above the windshield is the worst damage where it has eaten into the frame.

The jeep will stall out while decelerating every few months for the last couple of years. Most of the time it has been while approaching an intersection from speeds of 30-45 mph, so I have learned to pop the transmission into neutral to restart the car while in motion. This is horribly scary and dangerous since I obviously cannot steer during the process, and have, at least four times, been making a left-hand turn across traffic. I have taken my car into the dealership numerous times, but they don't even log me...
