2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2 Electrical System Problems

MY CAR LEAKS DURING RAIN FROM THE SUNROOF TO THE BLUE HOSE DRAIN AND FLOODED MY CAR. WHICH MESSED UP THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SAYING IT'S OVER HEATING BUT IT'S NOT IT'S THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TELLING THE COMPUTER IN CAR THAT IT'S HOW WHEN ITS NOT AND NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP WE THINK. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT JEEP DEALER IN CERRITOS, CA FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT WRONG.

THE SUNROOF DRAIN DESIGN WAS FAULTY. DURING RAINING WEATHER, THE SUNROOF DRAINS CANNOT HANDLE THE COLLECTED RAIN AND THE RAIN WILL OVERFLOW AND GO INTO THE CAR. THE RAIN THAT OVERFLOWS FALLS INTO THE FRONT PANEL AND HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES AND SHORTAGES. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE WATER HAS DAMAGED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND HEADLIGHT CONTROLS WHICH CAUSES THEM TO SHUT OFF WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND STALLS. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, MOSTLY AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 45-60 MPH. THE TWO RECALLS AVAILABLE ON THE VEHICLE AS IT RELATES TO THIS ISSUE (TCM/PCM ) ( IGNITION SWITCH) HAVE BEEN RECENTLY FIXED BY THE DEARLERSHIP, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MULFUNCTION IN THE SAME MANNER AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. CONTACTING CHRYSLER, THEY ARE ABRASIVE AND UNCOOPERATIVE. A LITTLE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL OWNER COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE DATING BACK TO 2006-2007-2008. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN "ACTIVE" INVESTIGATION ONGOING BY THE NHTSA-OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATIONS. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THIS INVESTIGATION-10 YEARS LATER??? THERE APPEARS TO BE NO INTEREST ON THE PART OF THE MANAUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE OWNER INCURRING MASSIVE LOSES IN ENDLESS DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR EXPENSES.

THE FRONT MODULE IS CORRUPT. IT CAUSING VARIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. LIGHTS, BLINKERS, RADIO, SPEAKERS, DASHBOARD DISPLAYS, HEATING/COOLING, ARE ALL INOPERABLE. JEEP IS CLAIMING THAT THIS IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THIS PART IS NOT MECHANICAL. I CAN UNDERSTAND WEAR AND TEAR BUT THIS ISSUE WOULD BE A FAULTY PART NOT AN ISSUE OF MAINTENANCE OR THE LACK OF. WITHOUT A RECALL, I AM SUBJECT TO EXPENSE THAT COULD END UP COSTING ME $1000 TO $3000. I FIND THIS TO BE SITUATION WHERE JEEP IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR CLIENTELE.

THE JEEP WAS LEVEL SO NO EXCUSE WHY IT SHOULD BE GOING BACKWARDS ON NEUTRAL. I HAVE CALLED JEEP AND LET THEM KNOW AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO GET FIXED.

I EXPLAINED THE PREVIOUS EVENING I NOTICED STEERING DID NOT SEEM RIGHT AND I HAD TO PUSH ON GAS MORE TO GET THE CAR TO HAVE POWER. I MENTIONED THIS TO MY HUSBAND IN CASE IT WAS TIME TO CHECK SPARK PLUGS AND GET A TUNE UP. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT THROUGH A CAR WASH AND STARTED A 30 MILE COMMUTE. WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LIGHTS AND ALL POWER SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE ONLY THING WORKING WAS THE RADIO. NO BRAKES, STEERING WAS DIFFERENT. THANKFULLY THIS TIME WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A SHOULDER AND COAST TO AN OFFRAMP. I COASTED TO A STOP, PUT IN PARK THEN TRIED TO START. THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AND I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 MILES AWAY. I EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND ALSO CALLED THE MAKER OF THE VEHICLES RECALL DEPT. THEY OPENED A CASE. AT THIS POINT NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHAT HAPPENED AND THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THEY CANNOT REPLICATE AND I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR FOR 6 DAYS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND MOST PEOPLE BECOME A MIDDLE MAN BETWEEN THE DEALER, THE WARRANTY COMPANY, AND NO RESOLUTION IS EVER MADE. MANY BECAME FRUSTRATED AND SOLD AND CUT THEIR LOSSES. THEY CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. I AM NOT CLEAR ON THE STATISTICS BUT I READ ONE BLOG THAT STATED THIS INCIDENT HAS CAUSED 2 ACCIDENTS. I HAVE SURVIVED CANCER AND I HAVE 3 CHILLDREN. I CANNOT CONSIOUSLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN. I AM THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN DRIVING UPHILL ON A DARK MOUNTAINSIDE. WE HAD PLANNED A TRIP TO LA THAT HAD TO BE CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF SAFETY. I AM STARTING AN UPHILL BATTLE OR I WILL BE FORCED TO SALE. IF SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE 2006 WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RESOLUTION. PEOPLE GET THE COMPUTER FIXED ONLY FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN WHICH TELLS ME THE COMPUTER ITSELF IS FAULTY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AND I AM DESPERATE TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION. IT WILL PUT US IN DANGER. *TR

I LEASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 4X2 4.7 V8 IN 2006. THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS THE SAME DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME. THE VEHICLE STALLS FREQUENTLY AND THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM DISABLES. THE STALLING OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALLING ALSO OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DISABLED. THE BRAKES WONT WORK AND I LOSE TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2007 DUE TO THIS ISSUE, JEEP/CHRYSLER HAS DENIED THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER. THE ODOMETER IS ALSO INCORRECT, IT CHANGES NUMBERS FREQUENTLY. CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND DENIED ANY FURTHER REPAIRS CONCERNING THE RECALL.

WE OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER THAT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST MONTH WE OWNED IT. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME CHALLENGE AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES AS OTHER OWNERS SUCH AS; TRANSMISSION NOISES AND SLIPPAGE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES, EXCESSIVE BREAK NOISE, BREAK WEAR, EXCESSIVE CRACKING IN WINDSHIELD, SEATBELT FAILURE, WINDOW LEAKS, STEREO REPLACEMENT AND MORE! IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR MORE THAN 6 TIMES FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THE DEALER, AS WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS HAS CLAIMED THEY "CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM..." AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. I HAVE NOW EMBARKED UPON HAVING THE VEHICLE BOUGHT BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER AND WILL ALSO BEGIN A FORMAL LEGAL CASE TO ENSURE OTHER OWNERS RECEIVE RETRIBUTION. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY AND THE DEALERS ARE COVERING IT UP! *TR

OUR 2006 JEEP COMMANDER V8 4.7L HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 5 TIMES. 3 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND TWICE ON SLOW TURNS. INITIALLY THE PROBLEM SEEMED RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. JUST A SLIGHT BRUSH AGAINST THE KEY WAS ENOUGH TO KILL THE ENGINE AND SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS (SPECIFICALLY POWER ASSIST). WHILE OUT OF TOWN DURING THIS PAST CHRISTMAS THE THIRD HIGHWAY FAILURE AND FIRST SLOW TURN FAILURE OCCURRED. THE OUT OF TOWN DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. ANOTHER SLOW TURN FAILURE OCCURRED ON MARCH 20, 2008, WHERE THE DISABLED POWER ASSIST HAD MY WIFE VEERING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE HAD THE DEALER PICK UP THE CAR AT OUR HOME. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THIS WAS THE FIFTH COMMANDER HE HAD PERSONALLY SEEN WITH THIS ISSUE. THE CURRENT FIX WAS TO UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE OF THE ENGINE CONTROLLER UNIT. I ASKED FOR AND RECEIVED THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS REPAIR (CASE NUMBER K23158981, STAR ON LINE NUMBER: 18190602 0.4). THE BULLETIN DID NOT MENTION THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE RECOMMENDATION ONLY STATES THAT THE ENGINE CONTROLLER SHOULD BE FLASHED. I ASKED FOR FURTHER TECHNICAL DETAILS IN HOPES OF FINDING SOME CONFIDENCE THAT THIS ISSUE HAS TRULY BEEN DIAGNOSED AND FIXED, BUT WAS TOLD THAT NO MORE INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT THE ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED WITH THIS FIX, BUT HE COULD NOT BE CERTAIN. FRANKLY, THAT'S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH WITH THIS KIND OF SAFETY CONCERN. WE ARE AT 39K MILES AND OUT OF OUR WARRANTY. DEALING WITH DC'S CORPORATE OFFICE HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY REAL ASSISTANCE. WE ARE LOOKING TO GET OUT OF THIS CAR AS WE NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN IT'S SAFETY. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NICE ENOUGH, BUT BEYOND TRYING TO GIVE US THE BEST DEAL POSSIBLE ON A '08 COMMANDER THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REALLY ASSIST US IN GETTING OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

2006 JEEP COMMANDERS ENGINE STALLS AND HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AT WHICH TIME THEY ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN...LIKE WHEN MY LIGHTS WENT OUT ON A DARK FREEWAY ALMOST KILLING ME AND MY HUSBAND. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER KEEPS DYING WHEN I'M DRIVING IT! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM".

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER AND HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE STALLING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT A FLASH UPDATE NEEDS TO BE DONE AND THAT IT IS A DAIMLER CHRYSLER PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. MY WIFE DRIVES THE VEHICLE AND HAS HAD THE VEHICLE STALL ON HER ON NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE SITTING AT RED LIGHTS AND IT HAS HAPPENED AS SHE IS DRIVING AS WELL. I AM VERY CONCERNED SINCE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THREE DIFFERENT TIMES THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT WILL RESOLVE MY VEHICLES PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE IS LOOKING INTO THE STALLING PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND WILL DO SOMETHING QUICK TO RESOLVE THIS. *JB

ENGINE STALLED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. GIVES NO WARNING. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER 2006, COMPUTER WAS RESET, BUT NO PROBLEM FOUND. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT, BUT DIDN'T BOTHER BRINGING IN DUE TO DEALERSHIP FINDING NOTHING WRONG. HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK, HAD ANOTHER APPOINTMENT AT DEALERSHIP IN A FEW DAYS. VERY SCARY ISSUE. NOT ONLY AM I WORRIED ABOUT MYSELF, BUT MY 3 AND 1 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT WAS EXTREMELY SCARY. HOPE THIS PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED SOON BEFORE SOMEONE WAS KILLED. IF THE DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP. I FELT THE WHOLE THING NEEDED TO BE RECALLED. TO BIG OF A LIABILITY, DON'T YOU THINK???!!!!!!*AK

HE FIRST INSTANCE WAS WHEN HAD STOPPED AT MY HOUSE, GONE IN AND GRABBED SOME PAPERWORK, GOT BACK IN THE SUV AND THEN WHEN PUTTING THE SUV INTO REVERSE IT JUST TURNED OFF. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS ACTUALLY PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. ON MY WAY BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD WHEN THE SUV SHUT OFF. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT I NOTICED THE STEREO SEEMED TO BE ON , JUST THE DISPLAY. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND STARTED IT, AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN GEAR. I WENT TO THE DEALER AGAIN, I WAS ON MY WAY TO FINALIZE THE PURCHASE, AND RELATED THIS TO THEM. THEY STATED THEY WEREN'T SURE WHY IT HAPPENED BUT WOULD LOOK INTO IT. I WAS DROPPING IT OFF ON 5/22/07. *AK

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER'S IGNITION KEY IS SO SENSITIVE TO TOUCH THAT IF IT IS BUMPED WHILE DRIVING, THE KEY TURNS THE ENGINE OFF CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN AND MAKING STEERING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED COMING OF A HIGHWAY AND IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM 6' TALL AND WHEN I MOVE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS THE KNEE HITS THE KEY EVER SO SLIGHTLY AND THE KEY SWITCHES OFF. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 4.7L V8 JEEP COMMANDER THAT HAS BEEN STALLING AT SLOW SPEEDS. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE MY WIFE USES THE CAR WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO SAWGRASS JEEP IN SUNRISE, FLORIDA TWICE AND BOTH TIMES THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *JB

SATURDAY 25TH FEBRUARY AND GUESS WHAT- YEP THE JEEP HAS A NEW TRICK TO ADD TO IT'S ALREADY GROWING LIST OF ELECTRICAL FAULTS, (ODI#10151913&10148480) PLEASE CAN YOU ADD THE FOLLOWING TO MY LONG LIST OF COMPLAINTS . AT APPROXIMATELY 12.45PM 2/25/06 I WAS PARKED OUTSIDE THE RT44 BRANCH OF THE ULSTER SAVINGS BANK, HAVING JUST GONE IN THERE TO CASH A CHECK, I CAME OUT AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, TURNED THE IGNITION KEY- NOTHING, NO LIGHTS ZERO RESPONSE, TRIED AGAIN- STILL NOTHING. I REMOVED THE KEY PUT IT BACK IN THE IGNITION, STILL NOTHING. GOT OUT WALKED AROUND IN DISGUST, GOT BACK IN AND TURNED THE KEY ONCE MORE AND THIS TIME IT FIRED UP FIRST TIME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HYDE PARK MOTORS SERVICE DEPT AND SPOKE TO KERRY THERE, I ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT AND HE TOLD ME NO PROVIDING IT DIDN'T TURN THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ON, WHICH IT HAD NOT DONE. SPOKE TO PETE THE SERVICE GUY AT HYDE PARK MOTORS IT TURNS OUT THAT THE NOT STARTING WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ISSUE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO A FRONT POWER TRAIN MODULE PROBLEM THAT DC ARE AWARE OF.

I WAS DRIVING MY NEW 2006 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED HOME FROM A CHILDREN'S PARTY AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30 PM ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON THE TACONIC STATE PARKWAY AT 54 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE CUT OUT COMPLETELY(STALL), IT LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, THE HEADLIGHTS AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTING WENT OUT, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. FORTUNATELY I WAS TRAVELING AT THE TIME ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD AND THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. I WENT DOWN AND SWITCHED THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND IMMEDIATELY BACK TO THE ON POSITION AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE SECOND ROW OF SEATS WITH OUR 10 MONTH OLD BABY AND SHE WITNESSED EVERYTHING AND CONFIRMS WHAT I EXPERIENCED. A WEEK AGO THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING , BUT THIS TIME I WAS STATIONARY IN A LOCAL SHOPPING MALL PARKING LOT, ENGINE CUT OUT AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN TODAY WITH MY WIFE DRIVING IT, SHE HAD STOPPED AND LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING FROM THE FLOOR, AND WHEN SHE WENT TO PULL AWAY THE VEHICLE WAS SHUTDOWN THE DEALERSHIP HAS ORDERED A NEW FRONT POWER TRAIN MODULE FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT WILL BE FITTED TOMORROW MORNING AT 10:30 AM .THIS NOW REPRESENTS THE THIRD SEPARATE CHRYSLER VEHICLE AND SIXTH POWER TRAIN COMPUTER. CHRYSLER DID A BUY BACK' FROM ME IN DECEMEBER 2005 ON MY 2005 DURANGO, WHICH AFTER 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, FROM NEW HAD CUT OUT APPROXIMATELY 7 TIMES . MY PREVIOUS DODGE VEHICLE WAS A 2003, RAM PICKUP WITH THE 5.7 LITER WHICH EXHIBITED ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS , BUT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN IT SHUTOFF PULLING ON O A LOCAL PARKWAY. FORTUNATELY, I PULLED THE SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL AND STEERING ON TO THE SHOULDER, BUT WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS TRAVELING UP THE PARKWAY.*AK

I WAS DRIVING MY NEW 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 6 CYL ENGINE. I AM 6'4.25" TALL AND WEIGH 205 LBS. I HAVE PROPORTIONATELY SIZED LIMBS AND APPENDAGES. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH ON A ROAD NEAR MY HOUSE AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR TURNED OFF. THE KEY WAS BRUSHED BY MY KNEE AND THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY QUIT. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO FIT IN THE SEAT AND PUT THE SEAT FAR ENOUGH BACK THAT THERE IS NO RISK OF THE KEY TURNING OFF WHILE STILL LETTING MY ARMS REACH THE WHEEL. THE KEY PROTRUDES DIRECTLY PERPENDICULARLY OUT OF THE DASH, INTERCEPTING MY KNEE DEAD ON FROM THE FRONT. I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR FOR OVER 100 MILES BEFORE THIS EVER HAPPENED. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING. COME TO THINK OF IT, THE NEW JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT MY FRIEND HAS, THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO. THE PLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH, COMBINED WITH ITS ANGLE ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE SLIGHTLY LARGE SIZE OF THE KEY FOB MAKE THIS A BIG RISK FOR TALLER DRIVERS LIKE MYSELF. THE KEY ONLY BARELY HAS TO BE GRAZED (I COULD NOT FEEL IT HAPPENING) AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF (WHILE IN MOTION!) AND HAS TO BE PUT INTO PARK IN ORDER TO BE RESTARTED. I THINK THAT EVENTUALLY SOMEONE WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT KEEPING CONTROL OF THEIR CAR WHEN IT UNITENTIONALLY SHUTS OFF ON THEM, NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES WITHIN ABOUT 200 MILES, AND LIKE I SAID, THERE IS NO PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE WAY FOR ME TO ADJUST THE SEAT SO THAT MY ARMS REACH THE WHEEL AND ME KNEE DOES NOT REACH THE KEY. THIS SEEMS DANGEROUS AND I WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY SO THAT CHRYSLER CAN MODIFY THE DESIGN OF EITHER THE KEY FOB OR THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ORDER TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM CAUSING DAMAGE TO THEMSELVES OR THEIR VEHICLE. THANKS, RYAN WEATHERBY. *NM
