2010 Jeep Commander Service and Repair Manual

THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER I STARTED DRIVING THROUGH RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND ONTO A FREEWAY. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND WENT TO THE AUTO STORE WHERE I HAD ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE BATTERY FROM, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WHICH IS LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. THEY TESTED MY BATTERY AND SAID THE BATTERY WAS GOOD BUT MY ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. I DROVE MY JEEP COMMANDER HOME AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE, PER USUAL. WHEN I EXITED MY JEEP THERE WAS NO ODOR, NO SMOKE, NO SOUND OF ANY SORTS COM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 JEEP COMMANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS WIFE WAS PARKED AT THE SUPERMARKET HIS WIFE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE TWICE WITH NO AVAIL. THE THIRD TIME SHE ATTEMPTED SHE STEPPED OUT THE VEHICLE AFTER SHE SMELLED ABNORMAL FUMES AND SOMEONE ALERTED HER THAT THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD TWO FAILURES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS WITH THE TPS TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR SYSTEM RESULTING IN TWO FLAT TIRES AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS WITH THE LOSS OF ONE TIRE COMPLETELY. THE NUT THAT FASTENS THE SENSOR TO THE RIM HAS CORRODED AND JUST CRUMBLED IN MY HAND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE IT. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT?

The engine failed while driving at major intersection. Multiple individuals had to assist and avoid causing an accident. After a week at diagnostic Jeep service department, techs determined compression failure in cylinders 2 and 4 with 0 psi. There no codes or check engine lights other than a brief blinking right before failure.

The electrical system of my car malfunctioned intermittently causing lights, ac, and the engine itself to go off and on in the middle of the freeway. There was a recall on the 2010 Jeep Commander (same as my car) for faulty electrical system, yet my VIN was excluded. I believe it should have been included in the recall and this faulty electrical system was the cause of multiple repairs done at my expense to the tune of a couple thousand dollars. I ask for a query into this. The electrical system

ALONG THE ENTIRE UPPER BODY OF THE CAR THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE PAINT WHICH I ATTRIBUTED TO A PAINT DEFECT. IT NOW HAS RUST DAMAGE TO THE UPPER FRAME ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD AND ON THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE CRACKS WERE. ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD IS THE WORST DAMAGE WHERE IT HAS EATEN INTO THE FRAME.
