VISIBILITY
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY VEHICLE WAS STRUCK WITH A PEBBLE WHICH CAUSED IT TO CHIP. DAYS LATER, THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT, TOOK PICTURES, SUBMITTED IT TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY WOULD REPLACE IT DUE TO DEFECT, ETC. I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS THAT THE SITUATION WAS ODD. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO CONTACT THEM, WAS TOLD THEY WERE STILL WAITING. MONTHS HAD PASSED AND I STILL NEVER GOT ANYWHERE WITH CHRYSLER SO I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD OUT OF POCKET IN NOV. 2007. SINCE THEN I HAVE 2 NEW STONE CHIPS AND A 3RD THAT RESULTED IN THE SAME SPLINTERING CRACK ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. THE SAME HAS RECENTLY HAPPENED TO MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER WHEN A SMALL CHIP SPLINTERED IN 5 DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. IN ALL THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND ALL THE VEHICLES MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE OWNED I HAVE NEVER HAD EVEN A CHIP IN A WINDSHIELD, EVEN WHILE LIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD. IS THIS JUST BAD LUCK OR IS CHRYSLER TO BLAME FOR CHEAP/FAULTY PARTS? I HAVE SEEN MANY SERVICE BULLETINS ON YOUR WEBSITE REGARDING THIS AS WELL. *TR

I TRY STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET IT TO GO, BUT IT DOES NOT RESPOND, THIS WILL LAST FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS OR SO THEN THE VEHICLE WILL REGAIN POWER, THE DASH LIGHTS WILL STOP FLASHING, BUT, THE ESP/BAS LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A LONGER TIME. AND THE ONE WITH THE VEHICLE AND SKID MARKS. ON ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT COMPLETELY'.AND TURNED OFF I HAD TO MANEUVER THROUGH TRAFFIC TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF ROAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE'ALTHOUGH THE 2 LIGHTS REMAINED ON THE VEHICLE DID GO. *TR THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE PCM AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REFLASHED. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM SHE WAS EXPERIENCING. UPDATED 08/13/08

06' JEEP COMMANDER STALLS WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED, WHEN MAKING UTURNS, AND TWO TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25-30MPH. I HAVE HAD THIS COMPLAINT FOR QUITE SOMETIME AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, WITH THEM BRUSHING IT OFF AS IF NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IF THIS IS NOT FIXED PEOPLES LIVES ON IN DANGER NOT ONLY THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLES, BUT SURROUNDING MOTORIST. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS IS AN UPDATE OF MY PREVIOUS POST. MY 2006 3.7 LITER COMMANDER 4X4 HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE MONDAY THE 7TH. WHEN I TOOK IT IN IT HAD BEEN STALLING NOW AND THEN, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE DISPLAY "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" HAD CAME ON THE DAY BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, IT SHUT DOWN NO BREAKS, STEERING, NOTHING. THE DEALER TESTED IT AND SAID IT GAVE THEM A CODE U1400 WHICH WAS THE TCM MODULE. THEY REPLACED IT AND TOLD ME TO COME AND GET IT ON JUNE 9TH. I PICKED IT UP AND ON THE WAY HOME, GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE ABOUT A BLOCK FRO THE DEALER, IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN, AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD DOWN THE HILL, AND ALL I COULD DO WAS PULL THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND PRAY THAT IT STILL WORKED, IT DID. AFTER THREE TRIES, I GOT IT STARTED AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO PUT A COMPUTER ON IT AS SOON AS I GOT THERE, THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO GET A RIDE HOME, AND THE NEXT DAY CALLED AND SAID IT NEEDED ECM MODULE, THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAD A 1000 PIECE BACKLOG ON THEM. I ASKED THEM WHAT I SHOULD DO FOR TRANSPORT, AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD CALL CHRYSLER BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A MAJOR RECALL ON THE 2006 4.7 LITER COMMANDER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE 3.7 MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT, BUT CHRYSLER HAS BEEN UNREAL TO DEAL WITH, THEY SIMPLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER, AND HAVE BEEN NO HELP. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY TO LET THEM KNOW THAT CHRYSLER TOLD ME THE PART WOULD BE READY FOR DELIVERY ON JULY 18TH, BUT MY GUESS IS THAT IF THERE'S 1000 BACKORDERED, IT WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE I WILL GET MINE. I GUESS WE WILL SEE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN 2006 AS A DEMO WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. I REALLY DIDN'T DRIVE IT THAT MUCH AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE MILEAGE ON IT AND IT HAS ONLY HAD THREE OIL CHANGES. WHEN IT REACHED ABOUT 20,000 MILES IT STALLED ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I CALLED AND SPOKE TO A TECH WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD PROBABLY GOTTEN SOME BAD GAS. THEN TWO WEEKS AGO IT STALLED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A DAY, THEN IT WENT OUT. IT CAME ON AGAIN AND STAYED ON AND IT CONTINUED TO STAY ON, AND "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR IS 20 MILES FROM WHERE WE LIVE SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DODGE DEALER ABOUT 3 MILES FROM MY HOME. ON MONDAY JULY 7TH WHEN DRIVING THERE FOR THE APPOINTMENT, I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND IT SHUT DOWN, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH, NOTHING. I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT RE-STARTED AFTER 3 TRIES. I MADE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CALLED MY TODAY AND SAID IT WAS READY AND THEY HAD TO INSTALL A TCM MODULE. I WENT TO PICK IT UP, AND ON THE WAY HOME, IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN, THE ONLY THING IT DIDN'T DO WAS DISPLAY THE ENGINE LIGHT, BUT THE STALLING AND THE "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY HOOKED IT BACK UP TO THE COMPUTER AND TOLD ME I NEEDED TO FIND A WAY HOME AND THEY WOULD CALL ME TOMORROW. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT YET. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER 3.7 4X4 IN 2007 AS A DEMO. IT HAD 18,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND NOW IS HAS 28,000. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT VERY MUCH AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE MILEAGE, AND IT HAS ONLY HAD TO HAVE TWO OIL CHANGES (EVERY 3,000 MILES) AND IS ALMOST DUE FOR ANOTHER. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR THREE WEEKS NOW, 1. FIRST IT STALLED IN TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS DOING ABOUT 30 MPH. 2. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED FOR A DAY, WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON TWO DAYS LATER AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE. 3. WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR WILL SHIFT REALLY HARD INTO SECOND GEAR FOR NO REASON. ON THE 3RD OF JULY IT STARTED DOING ALL SORTS OF WEIRD SHIFTS AND STALLS, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TOMORROW, AND I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE THE 3RD OF JULY BECAUSE I AM WORRIED ABOUT BREAKING SOMETHING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
THE BRAKE SYSTEM WOULD LOCK UP AT HIGH SPEEDS, DRIVABLE AND YOU FEEL THE FRICTION AND IT'S LIKE A TUGGING EFFECT UNTIL YOU BRAKE AND THEN IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY FINE. THIS FIRST HAPPENED BACK IN JUNE OF 2007. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE DEALER LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NOTHING SHOWED UP ON THEIR TESTS. THIS BRAKE PROBLEM HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY THROUGH THE YEAR WITH NO WARNING LIGHT APPEARING ON THE PANEL AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION AND ALWAYS THE SAME RESULT, NOTHING THEY CAN FIND IN THEIR TESTS. BUT LATELY THIS BRAKE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY, MORE RANDOM AND PROGRESSIVE AND AGAIN WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION, 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS IN FACT. AND STILL NOTHING THEY CAN FIND. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS OUR 2008 JEEP COMMANDER OVERLAND WILL NOT START. I'LL INSERT THE KEY FOB INTO THE SLOT, TURN, AND THEN NOTHING HAPPENS. USUALLY AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE TRUCK WILL START. (THE DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY HAS THE TRUCK AND STILL IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE OR ISOLATE THE PROBLEM).

POWER TRAIN
I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER. I GOT NOTICE FOR A RECALL ON IT, RECALL H19 ABOUT BAD SOFTWARE PROGRAMMED INTO THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I TOOK IT IN AND 2 DAYS LATER MY TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO 3RD GEAR. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS POWERTRAIN. I TOOK IT IN TO GET CHECK AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW SOLENOID WHICH GETS ITS SIGNAL TO SWITCH GEARS FROM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THEY WON'T COVER IT THOUGH. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY WON'T COVER IT. I ASK THE GARAGE IF THEY COULD CHANGE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE THE RECALL AND THEY SAID NO. MY JEEP WAS RUNNING FINE BEFORE I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE RECALL. ANYWAYS AFTER ARGUING WITH EVERYONE ABOUT IT I GAVE UP AND DECIDED I'LL PAY FOR IT, BUT COME TO FIND OUT, A TRANSMISSION SOLENOID PACK FOR JEEP COMMANDERS ARE ON FACTORY BACKORDER AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'LL GET THE PART. SO THAT GOES TO SAY THAT ALOT OF JEEP COMMANDERS TRANSMISSION SOLENOIDS ARE GOING BAD. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO 3RD GEAR, THE VEHICLE GAVE US A JERK WHEN IT SHIFTED DOWN TO 3RD GEAR, FROM THEN ON IT WOULDN'T GO INTO ANOTHER GEAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER. I LOOKED AT THE GAS GAGE TO FIND OUT THAT IT SAID IT WAS ON E. I THOUGHT THAT WAS ODD BECAUSE I HAD JUST PUT 30.00 INTO THE GAS TANK. I WAS PASSING BY A GAS STATION AND TURNED IN REAL QUICK. I THEN NOTICED MY GAUGES THAT TOLD ME THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS BLACK AND ALL OTHER ELECTRONIC THINGS WERE OFF. THEN AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE GAS STATION THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP ON ME AND I ALMOST RAN DIRECTLY INTO THE GAS PUMPS. I SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS AND WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. WHEN THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP THAT?S WHEN I REALIZED THE CAR HAD JUST TURNED OFF PREVIOUS AND IT WASN'T THE GAS. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN. THIS IS ONLY ONE OF A FEW PROBLEMS I?M HAVING IN REGARDS TO THE CAR GOING OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

STRUCTURE
I HAVE OWNED MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER FOR ABOUT TEN MONTHS NOW. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS WHEN MY KNEE BUMPS THE BOTTOM OF THE IGNITION KEY (TURNING IT TO THE LEFT, & SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF) WHICH IS UNUSUALLY LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE CONSOLE (I GUESS THIS VEHICLE WASN'T MEANT FOR TALL PEOPLE). WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHUTS OFF, CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO SHUT OFF AS WELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 2008 AROUND 11:15 AM. I WAS DRIVING MY 1 YEAR OLD SON TO THE BABYSITTERS HOUSE. MY KNEE BUMPED THE KEY AS I WAS APPROACHING A TURN, SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE/POWER STEERING, SO I KEPT GOING STRAIGHT, AND NEARLY CRASHED. LUCKILY, I SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND STOPPED JUST IN TIME. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I REALIZED HOW SERIOUS THE PROBLEM REALLY IS. ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO DRIVE IT AT THE MOMENT (BACKWARDS, SO I CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IT IN), I HAVE BECOME LEERY AND UNCOMFORTABLE WITH MY COMMANDER BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO MY CHILD, ME, OR SOMEONE ELSE IF (OR RATHER WHEN) THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I AM NOW CONSTANTLY TRYING TO STAY AWARE OF WHERE MY RIGHT KNEE IS AT ALL TIMES. INSTEAD OF REPORTING THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP (I KNOW THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT DESIGN FLAWS). I HAVE DECIDED TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE NHTSA. PLEASE HELP! *TR

AFTER WAITING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD CONSISTENTLY REMAIN ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V203000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)). IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE FUEL SYSTEM:GASOLINE DELIVERY PUMP REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000.
