| Description of the problem | The jeep will not start and left us stranded 30 miles from home. I had to leave it overnight. All of the lights on the ic light up and it makes a clicking sound but won't turn over. Initially i thought it was a bad starter but after researching it that night i realized it could be a number of things that others are experiencing with their commanders. I was able to get it home the next day by quickly turning the key from the "off" position to "start" rapidly. It started after 15-20 tries of this movement. Now that it is home, i was able to start it once each day since the initial issue. But now, i am unable to get it started again. Could be the wcm, starter harness, sentry key module, etc. Regardless, it is a widespread issue amongst jeep commander owners and something i think jeep needs to be made aware of. I understand this isn't specifically a safety issue but it could be if my wife and 11 month old are left stranded somewhere because the jeep decides it doesn't want to start. |
