ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL. AT 40MPH, ENGINE SURGES THEN DROPS IN RPM. DROPS RPM TO THE POINT OF STALLING. IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) VALVE, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS), AND EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) VALVES HAVE BEEN REPLACED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH NO CHANGE. ONLY WAY TO DRIVE IS TO MANUALLY SHIFT TO KEEP RPMS ABOVE 2,000 WHILE DRIVING AND TO USE BOTH THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS TO KEEP RPM ABOVE 1,200 WHEN AT STOPS. NO OBD2 SERVICE CODES ARE EVER TRIGGERED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE IN DECEMBER OF 2012, WE EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WHERE THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING OR SEEMED TO STALL OUT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF INVESTIGATION WE REALIZED THAT OUR KNEES WERE IN PERFECT RANGE TO HIT THE KEY FOB/CHAIN AND FIGURED OUT THAT THE IGNITION HAD BEEN TURNED TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED AFTER WE FIGURED THIS OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COMBINED 6 TIMES BETWEEN BOTH DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLE, ONE WHO IS 5'1" AND THE OTHER WHO IS 5'8" TALL. UNFORTUNATELY EXACT DATES FOR ALL OCCURRENCES ARE UNAVAILABLE OR WOULD BE ROUGH ESTIMATES, BUT HAS OCCURRED AS RECENTLY AS APRIL 10 2014. WE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WE COULD FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS ISSUE UNTIL JUST RECENTLY WHEN SEARCHING FOR RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE, OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE DONE SO IN THE PAST. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS. THE VEHICLE IS WORKING PROPERLY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL NOT START AND I GET MULTIPLE GAUGE NOTIFICATIONS POPULATE INCLUDING CHECK GAUGES, TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THE IGNITION BEING TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE LEARNED NOT TO HANG ANYTHING FROM THE KEY WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT IS TOO EASY FOR A KNEE TO BUMP THE KEY AND TURN OFF THE CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. IT SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED EDITION 4X4 IN CITY TRAFFIC DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN IT STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS STALLING AND ENGINE LIGHT WARNING HAS SINCE HAPPENED AT LEAST 100 MORE TIMES OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS. DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS ARE UNABLE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THE MOST RECENT EVENT HAPPENED ON 6/8/14. COMPLETE ENGINE STALL ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED 65 MILES TO HOME TOWN. MECHANIC REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. ENGINE STARTED FINE, RAN WELL FOR 2 DAYS AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITH INTERMITTENT STALLING AND ROUGH IDLING. JEEP IS AT DEALER AS WE SPEAK. DEALER STATED THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WILL KEEP THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT AND TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM TOMORROW. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. RADIO AND HEAD LIGHTS WILL GO ON. ALL YOU WOULD HEAR IS A CLICK. CHECKED BATTERY AND STILL WILL NOT START. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. THE MECHANIC HAD IT FOR A TWO DAYS AND IT STARTED. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE. LOOKED ON LINE AND NOTICED OTHER PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE NOT STARTING. ALSO, HAVING WATER COME IN THROUGH THE SIDE DOOR HANDLES. I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THESE PROBLEMS. NO WONDER THEY DISCONTINUED THIS VEHICLE. *TR

DRAIN TUBES LEAK INTO VEHICLE THRU UPPER HAND GRAB AND UNDER DASH DUE TO ROUTING OF TUBES... THEY CLOG VERY EASY AND VEHICLE OWNERS CANNOT SEE THEM OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THEM UNTIL A HEAVY RAIN LEAVES THE CAR FLOODED. MOST LIKELY ERODING WIRES UNDER DASH AND CAUSING MOLD IN CARPET. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS USED JEEP ON JANUARY 7, 2014. ONE WEEK LATER, THE JEEP STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN STALLED THE NEXT DAY ON A LOCAL STREET WHILE MY TEENAGERS WERE DRIVING TO SCHOOL. THEN STALLED IN TRAFFIC THE NEXT DAY WHILE I WAS TURNING ONTO A LOCAL STREET. THEN STALLED AGAIN PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SIX WEEKS. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, COILS, COMPUTER SYSTEM, WIRING SYSTEM, THROTTLE. I PICKED THE CAR UP AT THE END OF MARCH, 2014. THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL THIS PAST WEEKEND. IT STALLED AGAIN IN TRAFFIC WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING WITH FOUR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR ON APRIL 26, 2014. IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON SUNDAY APRIL 27, 2014. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER ON APRIL 28, 2014. THIS VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATALITY. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE FOR ANYONE TO DRIVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER, WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY/ SIDE STREETS VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. MAKING IT HARD TO BRAKE AND STEER. VERY SCARY WHEN YOUR IN TRAFFIC AT 70 MILES HR. AND YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. TOOK IT IN TO CHRYSLER DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS VEHICLE. ALL THESE PROBLEMS SURFACED AFTER DOING THE DRIVE CONTROLLER MODULE RECALL. GOT A SECOND OPINION AND DEALER GAVE ME A LIST TUNE-UP, COILS, TRAIN SERVICE, ETC. WOW THESE DEALERS WANT TO MAKE SOME CASH. HAD A THIRD OPINION AND MECHANIC SAYS ALL CODES ARE RELATED TO MODULE. NOW SHOULDN'T DEALER BE AWARE OF THIS AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I CALLED THE DEALER (WALNUT CREEK CHRYSLER JEEP) IN 2007 THAT MY ENGINE MADE A STALLING NOISE WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE, AND THEY SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT (I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2007, SO ONLY A FEW MONTHS LATER). I MOVED THE CAR TO CT, AND TO TX (WARRANTY COMPANIES CONTINUE TO TRACK MY ADDRESS, NO WORD OF RECALLS, THEY ALMOST STALK ME, I HAVE THE MAILINGS TO PROVE IT, WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO OPT-OUT FROM; ONLY USE AN E-MAIL FOR RECALLS). FOR MONTHS, AND YEARS, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN ACCELERATING USUALLY WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT PANEL LIGHTS FLICKER EVEN SHUT OFF (SEEMS RUNNING ON AUTO PILOT), THE ENGINE SELF-SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON. I EVEN ASKED DEALERS IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS, THEY SAID NO. I HEARD THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD THEIR FRONT PANEL VEHICLE LIGHTS FLICKER ERRATICALLY, ALSO THE SELF-ACCELERATING AND SELF-STALLING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES. THE THOUGHT THAT MY CAR HAD BEEN HACKED CROSSED MY MIND (MANY STUDIES SHOW THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN); I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND ALSO THE STATE POLICE AGENCY REGARDING A DRIVERS LICENSE AND AGENCY DOCUMENTATION FINE PRINT ABOUT RESEARCH. NO ACCIDENTS, BUT THE ABOVE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO AFFECT MY VEHICLE (THE PANEL LIGHTS "SOME WHAT" SLOWED DOWN, BUT THE SELF-ACCELERATION, SELF-STALLING CONTINUE, AND SELF-SHUT DOWN CONTINUE. I HAVE DRIVEN MY VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES, AND PURCHASED IT NEW IN MAY 2007. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? NOTE: DO NOT POST OR DISTRIBUTE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION, OR UPLOAD TO A PUBLIC DATABASE. PLEASE KEEP MY PERSONAL INFORMATION PRIVATE. IN ADDITION, I DO NOT WANT TO BE PESTERED WITH MORE WARRANTY OFFERS; I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY OBTAINED MY PHYSICAL ADDRESS.
