2009 Jeep Commander owner complaints

My Jeep has periodic starting issues. All the lights work on the dash it just clicks. This is very random. If you jump it the vehicle will start. Sometimes if you wait a period of time it will start. Took it to the dealer they replaced starter but issue stills persist. It is very difficult to recreate. Dealers have no clue what is causing the issue.

Car has had starting problems left us stranded. If you let it set over night usually starts have taken too dealer 3 times they haven't found problem. Replaced starter and wire with new end with no luck. Like car tiered of getting stranded. If you read forums there are a lot of these problems. *tr

The remote car starter starts my vehicle? But 5-10 seconds later it shuts back off and my radio turns itself on and off even while its not on. The display goes black, makes a click, shows the Jeep logo, bars where the time should be, 12:00, then the real time, then does it all over again the entire time the vehicle is running. There is also a clicking noise sometimes when I unlock the doors even while the Jeep is off, it also happens sometimes when turning the heat on. This is sometimes resolved by changing the fan to cabin mode, other times it continues for random lengths of time. I see that there were other recalls regarding the electrical system on this model & am worried about driving it in case it turns into a more serious issue. When looking at recall information on kbb.com it says m

Key sticks in ignition. The more it is driven in one day, the worse it sticks. Will allow engine to shut off but does not allow key to go back to off position without taking out of park and shifting back to park. Took to dealership for diagnostic. Was told that shifter assembly needed replaced. Part was ordered, replacement is scheduled for next week. Has been happening off and on since mid september.

Was driving through town with no problem. Road turns into highway and speed limit is 65 MPH. Tried to increase speed from 35 MPH (town speed limit) and vehicle started slowing down and bucking and hesitating. Pulled off road and turned engine off for a few minutes. Could not increase speed to more than 25 MPH. Towed home. Left alone for an hour and retried. Still have same problem. Tried this morning, still same problem. Will need to tow it to a garage. Check engine light also came on.

Identical issue as found with NHTSA # 10908927 vehicle stalls while driving and cannot be restarted without putting the vehicle in park. Purchased the vehicle used with 170,000 miles on it. Carfax shows great care into the vehicle, however within first 24 hours after purchase have found it to stall while driving and at idle near 6x. Have taken to auto repair shop/autozone/used ifixit code finder and nothing is found. This has created hazardous driving conditions as it will happen at random.

Vehicle stalls while driving and cannot be restarted without putting the vehicle in park. This has been an ongoing problem since purchase. Dealership and Chrysler have been no help. Car is a danger to drive.

Bumped the key and engine shut off...called the service dept and found out there was recall on my truck prior to me buying it but was not disclosed. *tr

The hood is rusting. I was informed by a body shop that the hood is rusting and that it needs to be replaced because it cannot be contained. The "bubbling" has spread across the front edge of the hood to the passenger side of the vehicle. It will soon spread to the driver's side as there is "bubbling" now at the front edge of the driver's side. I found other complaints while trying to find a solution.

Approximately 3 months after purchasing my Jeep commander, it stalled with no warning. All the trucks lights lit up and the power steering would not work. I was able to start it back up and drive. I took it to the dealer and they were unable to help me as they could not recreate the issue. Since then it has happened an additional 2-3 times with the dealership still unable to help me. All times the truck has stalled out and I have been able to restart and drive away. The last time being in september of 2012 while driving on a freeway at approximately 65 MPH. *tr

My 2009 Jeep commander stalled and finally cut off while driving. Everything completely shuts down and have to restart the engine immediately. It has happened 4 times now in approximately last four months. This condition has happened twice while my daughter was driving, and twice while my wife was driving. It is at random, and at different speeds of 35mph to 45mph on a city street. So frightening. The vehicle was purchased used in august of 2010 with 38+k miles on it. It has 141000mile now. I have replaced the ignition key a few months age. I have made an appointment to take it to the dealership. Any suggestions on what might cause this to happen? My wife is not driving the Jeep anymore. Last incident was on 10/1/2018.

I am the original owner of a 2009 Jeep commander. In the fall of 2013 I purchased 4 new tires,and was told 2 valve stems were cracked so I had them replaced. On 9/3/14 on the wva turnpike at 70 MPH the left rear warning light flashed and then counted down from 40lbs to 5lbs in 10 seconds. I was able to stop on a very narrow berm and called aaa to change the tire. On return home went to the tire store and was told the stem nut (one of the remaining ones) had broken off and the transmitter fell into the tire causing therapid air loss. On inspection on the remaining stem nut it was found to be cracked and split as iit was removed. The crack had corrosion indicating it had been there for some time. I have no doubt it could have broken off at speed. I believe the only reason I was able to keep

I cannot remove the key from the vec. The struts will not come off
