What owners wrote

2009 jeep commander - start car and able to remove key - car will continue to operate/run as normal without key in vehicle. Also key fob will get stuck in the ignition and not come out. This has been occurring for about 2 weeks. This happens on a daily basis. Vehicle has been to dealership to fix advised wire model issue. 700.00 to repair not covered under warranty - however is a safety hazard and vehicle should not be driven.

My jeep commander keeps stalling for no apparent reason. I had electrical issues with my jeep 2009 commander 2 years ago and now I get the oil pressure light warning and then the car stalls for no apparent reason. The jeep dealership doesn't know what is wrong with the car and have had it for 4+ days to try and fix the issue. I am concerned that this could happen at any speed and would put my family (including my 18 month old son) at risk.
