ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A 1.5 YEARS. I'VE ONLY HAD THE JEEP FOR 2 YEARS. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE VEHICLE JERKS AND PUTTS, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVENTUALLY FLASHES AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. CHRYSLER JEEP HAS NOT, TO THIS DAY, BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM EVEN WITH CHRYSLER ENGINEERS. THEY HAVE KEPT MY CAR FOR WEEKS AT A TIME TO NO RESOLVE. THEY HAVE TRIED REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS JUST TO SEE IF IT WORKS. ON A FEW OCCASIONS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CHRYSLER CORPORATE WILL NO LONGER ASSIST ME WITH THIS CASE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
DRIVING TO WORK AT THE NORMAL SPEED, MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, WHICH RESULTED IN THE CAR BEHIND ME HITTING ME. I AM DEATHLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. WHEN I WENT TO CHRYSLER & CALLED SEVERAL TIMES, I WAS TOLD I WAS OUT OF LUCK & COULDN'T BE HELPED. I WAS EVEN HUNG UP ON. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO BESIDES CONTACTING THE NEWS & HIRING AN ATTORNEY, WHICH ISN'T IN MY BUDGET. IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN HELP ME? *TR

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER I FIRST STARTED HAVING AN IDLING PROBLEM IN AUGUST 2013. I TOOK IN TO ALLEN SAMUELS THEY DID A TUNE-UP IT WAS FINE UNTIL MARCH OF 2014. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON I TOOK BACK TO ALLEN SAMUELS FOR IDLE PROBLEM & STALLING AS WELL. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THEY FIRST STATED FAN CLUTCH, HAD A FAN CLUTCH INSTALLED. AFTER A WEEK LATER STILL STALLING TOOK BACK TO ALLEN SAMUEL THEY THEN STATED WIRING HARNESS $1300 & THEM KEEPING IT A WEEK WITH NO LOANER. SOON AS MY MOM LEFT THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T EVEN MAKE IT HOME WHICH WAS 10 MILES AWAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON NEXT DAY BACK TO DEALERSHIP BY IT BEING A SATURDAY NO SKILL TECH IN IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE I SAW A RECALL ON STALLING ENGINE. TUESDAY BACK TO DEALERSHIP CHRYSLER CALLED ALLEN SAMUELS THEY STATED NOT THE SAME AS THE RECALL. ALLEN SAMUEL KEPT MY TRUCK SEVERAL DAYS THEN STATED WATER IN TANK. THEY EMPTIED TANK & CLEAN IT. I HAD SERVICE MANAGER TEST DRIVE BEFORE LEAVING ITS WAS STILL STALLING WAS TOLD TO CHANGE GAS FUEL, DRIVE A COUPLE OF DAYS & BRING BACK. CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN TO COMPLAIN THEY ADVISED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY RECOMMEND AFTER AM EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR $300 I WAS TOLD TO SEE THE SALES MANAGER FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I SINCE HAVE HAD FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED, SPARK PLUGS CHANGED, BOOTS CHANGED, NEW BATTERY, NEW WATER PUMP. IT IS STILL IDLING & STALLING. I REALLY WOULD LOVE FOR SOMEONE TO BE ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG & REPAIR IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING
THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THAT THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND CANNOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE BIG RIG TRUCK BEHIND US ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE CAR DUE TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE WE ARE TRAVELING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF, THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES. THE CAR EVENTUALLY REDUCES SPEED DOWN TO A HALT. I HAVE TO PLACE THE JEEP IN PARK AND RESTART THE IGNITION. THE TRUCK DRIVER WAS YELLING PROFANITIES OUT THE WINDOW, TELLING ME TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE AND SHOWING OBSCENE GESTURES WHILE I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL SHUT DOWN ON ME AGAIN. THE ONLY ADVICE I GET FROM CHRYSLER IS TO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER KEYS ON THE RING AND TO NOT HAVE MY KNEE HIT THE IGNITION KEY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CRUISE CONTROL STILL DOES NOT OPERATE. SINGLE TOUCH POWER WINDOW FUNCTION NO LONGER WORKS ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS. WHILE COMMUTING TO WORK ON THE TOLL ROAD, RPMS REGISTERED BETWEEN 2500-3500 GOING AT A SPEED OF 75. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, IT WAS BETWEEN 3000-3500. I DID NOT HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONAL RUNNING. I WAS NOT ACCELERATING AND WAS NOT GOING UP OR DOWN INCLINES TO CAUSE THE HIGHER RPMS. AFTER EXITING THE TOLL ROAD, I TURNED AND WHILE ACCELERATING TO AROUND 40MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I WAS ON AN INSIDE LANE, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ALLOW A SEMI TO PASS ON THE OUTSIDE LANE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO PLACE IN PARK, TURN OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND TURN IT BACK ON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. MY AVERAGE MPG WAS 13.9, LOWER THAN IT SHOULD BE. LEAVING FOR MY COMMUTE HOME, WHEN I TURNED ON THE JEEP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER LIT. I NOTICED DURING THE COMMUTE THAT THE RPMS WERE NOT AS HIGH AS IN THE MORNING, AND ALSO MY MPG INCREASED BY ALMOST A MILE PER GALLON, AND THAT WAS RUNNING AT THE SAME SPEED AND I ALSO WAS RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONING. UPON EXITING THE TOLL ROAD, THE VEHICLE JERKED HEAVILY WHILE DOWNSHIFTING FROM OVERDRIVE. A JERKY MOTION CONTINUED FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY COMMUTE (RANGING FROM 30-55 MPH). PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOW TAKE PHOTOS AFTER THE ENGINE STALLS TO REFLECT THE MILEAGE AND THAT THE LIGHT IS LIT. I ALSO NOW TAKE PICTURES WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE IDLING IN A DRIVEWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE AND ESP/BAS LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STALL. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 55-60 MPH, I REALIZED THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO TURN IT ON, BUT IT DOES NOT COME ON ANY LONGER. THE ESP/BAS LIGHT WENT OFF ABOUT 10 MILES LATER, AFTER I STOPPED TO FUEL UP THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND ANOTHER 35 MILES LATER, AFTER MAKING A STOP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, WHILE IT WAS IN THE NEUTRAL GEAR AND GOING THROUGH AN AUTOMATIC CARWASH, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE. THE RPMS WERE CONSTANTLY UP AND DOWN BETWEEN 500 AND 1500 RPMS. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WE WERE ON INTERSTATE 57 GOING 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE JEEP JERKED LIKE IT WAS DOWN SHIFTING AND JUST SHUT OFF. WE HAD A SEMI BEHIND US WHICH ALMOST HIT US BUT WE WERE ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE THEN TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT STARTED OKAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY WENT OFF BY ITSELF. SINCE THEN WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP JERKS AND ACTS LIKE IT DOWN SHIFTING AND THE RPMS GOES WAY UP. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON A HIGHWAY BECAUSE SHUTTING OFF LIKE THAT ON THE INTERSTATE COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WHO OWN 2007 JEEP COMMANDERS SO THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING FAULTY! THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT!!! WE JUST PURCHASED THIS FROM A DEALER A MONTH AGO FOR OUR 16 YEAR OLD TWINS. THANK GOD THEY WERE NOT DRIVING IT WHEN THAT HAPPENED. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DURING COMMUTE TO WORK, VEHICLE SHIFTING IN A JERKY MANNER AND RPMS ARE HIGH AND ERRATIC FOR SPEED OF VEHICLE. AT 10:00, WHEN DRIVING TO A MEETING, WHEN FIRST PUTTING JEEP INTO GEAR, THE GEAR DISPLAY "D" DISAPPEARED AND "4" WAS IN ITS PLACE, CONCERNING ME THAT THE OVERDRIVE WENT OUT (I'VE ALREADY HAD A SOLENOID PACK REPLACED DUE TO THE OVERDRIVE "GOING OUT" - HAPPENED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO). VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT ONTO THE STREET. FORTUNATELY, IT MOVED FORWARD AND I REACHED MY DESTINATION. DURING COMMUTE HOME, ABOUT 5 MILES INTO MY DRIVE ON THE TOLL ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STALLED. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PLACE IN PARK, TURN OFF IGNITION SWITCH, TURN BACK ON, AND RESUMED MY COMMUTE HOME. *TR
