MY JEEP COMMANDER HAS HAD 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS TO DIAGNOSE WHY THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF CONTINUALLY WHILE IN MOTION OR STOPPED. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS RECENTLY REPLACED AS A PART OF A RECALL AND THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE EITHER. THE JEEP WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF, AND ALL POWER STEERING IS LOSS, CAUSING A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION UNTIL IT CAN BE PUT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL AND TURN BACK ON. MY LAST DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED THE AUTO REPAIR SHOPPED A COMPUTER READ OF 'RUNNING' WHILE THE TRUCK HAD TURNED OFF SEVERAL TIMES RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. I HAVE SPENT A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON DIAGNOSTICS AND NO MECHANIC HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND AN ANSWER EVEN AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AS PART OF AN ORIGINAL RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY ALL THREE AUTO REPAIR SHOPS THAT THEY KNOW THERE IS A STALLING/SHUT OFF ISSUE BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO INDICATOR OF WHY THROUGH THOROUGH DIAGNOSTICS. THEY ALSO NOTED THAT WHEN THE JEEP SHUTS OFF THE DASH LIGHTS DO NOT TURN ON AS IT WOULD NORMALLY WHEN A VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. WHEN THE JEEP HAS SHUT OFF ON ME DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR ROAD AT 40 MILES PER HOUR MY ONLY INDICATOR THAT MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF IS THAT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AS THE JEEP BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN. THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH HAS NOT REMEDIED THE SHUT OFF ISSUE AND NO MECHANICAL SHOP HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND OTHER REASON WHY. ESSENTIALLY MY JEEP COMMANDER IS VERY UNSAFE WITH NO SOLUTION ABLE TO FOUND. I RESEARCHED FURTHER AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A FRONT CONTROL MODULE RECALL ON SOME 2008 JEEP COMMANDERS ISSUED. I BELIEVE MY JEEP COMMANDER'S VIN MAY NEED TO BE ADDED TO THIS RECALL FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE AND NO MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTIC HAS BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER WHY. EVERYTHING ELSE IS COMPLETELY SOUND WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER EXCEPT THIS ISSUE OF SHUTTING OFF WHILE ON, IN MOTION OR PARKED.

TAMARA RECALL THE JEEP WILL CUT OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL ALSO MAKE ATTEMPTS TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH AND BELOW. THE ESP LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON. ONCE ABLE TO GET THE JEEP STOPPED WITH OUT GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT IT WILL RESTART AND ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW 3 TIMES WITH IN 4 DAYS WITH IT CUTTING COMPLETELY OFF AND 5 TIMES TRYING TO WHILE DRIVING. THE 1ST TIME IT WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 50 MILES AND HOUR. THE 2ND TIME I WAS GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE GOING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HR. THE 3RD TIME I WAS DOING 35 MILES AN HR ON A BUSY STREET. THE TIMES THAT IT HAS ATTEMPTED TO SHUT OFF BUT DIDN'T I WAS GOING BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MILES AN HR. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR ANYONE TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE HAPPEN. IT CAN CAUSE ME TO HAVE ACCIDENT AND OR TO CAUSE A ACCIDENT. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HARM AND LOSS OF LIFE. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH OR AN ISSUE WITH THE MOTOR OR WIRING. SOMETHING IS WRONG. I SEE ON OTHER FORUMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS JEEP FROM I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I AM IN FEAR FOR MYSELF AND KIDS AND OTHERS.
