| Description of the problem | P41 recall. Before recall my 2006 jeep commander turned off on its own numerous times. This resulted in engine shut down, no electrical system, etc. I have contacted chrysler several times. I get the same response, part not available. Why? I am told the supplier does not have part. Why not?. This is an old recall, however chrysler is repairing or buying back newer models of vehicles due to faulty design. 2006 jeep commander recall is just as serious as newer recalls. The faulty ignition switch results in entire shut down of jeep, including air bags. I was told to adjust seat so that knee does not make contact with keys in ignition. What? I suggest that vehicles with faulty ignition switch be a part of the chrysler buy back or repair immediately. Also, to avoid further serious accidents and possible death resulting form faulty ignition switch. |
