| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2008 jeep commander in may2011, about two weeks after i had the vehicle, i went to start it one day and it would not start. I opened the hood and tested my battery, no problems with it, so i turned the key again and it started. I continued to have this issues every since, sometimes it will go two weeks starting fine and then out of the blue it will not start. The latest incident happened on 14 sept 2011, this was the first time that the vehicle would not start at all (usually when this happens it will start after a few minutes) so on this day i had it towed to a garage, they told me they couldnt find nothing wrong with it, but said maybe you just need a new battery, so i purchased a battery for the jeep installed it and for two days it was great, so i thought ok maybe it has been the battery after all this time. Today 18 sept 2011, it happened again, but this time it started after 5 minutes. I started researching the problem online, and this is when i learned of the recalls for multiple reasons on these vehicles. I live in upstate new york and winter is approaching, i dont want to be stranded with my family somewhere. I just really want to know exactly what is going on before i put money into a never ending problem. *tt |
