When I put my vehicle into park it will not let me turn it all the way off an release my key. It keeps it in the acc position or the battery on position. But the engine does turn off. I then have to wait for a click then I can release my key. Sometimes I have to restart the vehicle and move the shifter around a few times then turn the vehicle back off to get it to click to release my key. The dealer said it's an electronic problem. My starter cylinoid is going out. And I have to have a whole new part and it comes with new keys. It's going to cost $650 to fix it.

My 2008 Jeep Commander sport 4X4 has been running fine. I parked the Jeep, but it in park and turned it off. When I come back 3 hours later my car does not start. I was able to unlock my car by using the remote, and the lights turned on when I opened the door. I put the key in turned it and the car would not make a single noise, and "damaged key" prompts on the dash and quickly disappears. I needed to move my car so I was able to get a jump bc of the position the car was in. I put my foot on the break and tried to put it in neutral and it would not let me. My friend was able to position his truck to jump start mine. Again, nothing worked.

2008 Jeep Commander. Consumer seeks reimbursement for ignition switch recall notice repairs.
- Croton-On-Hudson, NY, USA
2008 Jeep Commander, engine would repeatedly shut down while driving. It would happened at all speeds, from pulling out to driving on the highway. I received the safety recall P57/NHTSA 14V-567 over six months ago which stated "Chrysler is making every effort to provide the part as quickly as possible". this is an extremely dangerous problem that could end up killing somebody if it hasn't already. It is unacceptable that Chrysler can operate in this manner and take this long to fix the problem. It appears they could care less about the customers safety and that they are not taking the recall seriously.
