My Jeep seems to match up to a very common problem related to a total intergrated power module. The problem is so intermittent that basically everything mechanical and electrical has been replaced. The tipm is my next replacement. I have freaky issues with my very clean Jeep Commander 2008 limited 5.7L hemi. Its absolutely crazy what has been replaced. I would never recommend a Jeep product as this issue seems to be known but due to cost Jeep basically denies the issue. My vehicle would be the poster vehicle for a class action lawsuit and Jeep needs to fix this as this is not right. Way too much money is being paid out for repairs that do not work.

While relocating and driving on a major interstate highway, the pre-owned vehicle with 87,684 at time of purchase, the 4 wheel drive system came on by itself and stayed in high and is still in high and if the vehicle is driven will need to be disconnected. The power steering locked, shredded belts. Then, the engine ran hot for no more than a mile on an interstate highway with no warning. Due to the power steering locking up, combustion caused head gasket problems.

The ignition switch started to make a clicking noise while driving. When I turn the ignition off it will not turn all the way off and the key or fobik gets stuck and will not come out. The power stays on. Perhaps 1 hour later or longer I can go out and it will turn off and allow the key to be removed. If I forget to go back out to retrieve the key the battery runs low and the car will not stop. I'm stranded. When I park and go anywhere the care is not secure with the key in the igntion, anyone can open the door and steal the car.this ignition was recalled in novemebr of 2014 and to date there has not been a fix. This needs to be fixed asap! how can I be expected to accept this situation?
