POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING IN "DRIVE" THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE. ON THE DASH BOARD ALL THE GEAR 123D HAD LIT UP SQUARES AROUND THEM. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS CAN CAUSE A CRASH AND POSSIBLY KILL SOMEBODY INCLUDING MY FAMILY. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT. WHEN I DID THIS EVERYTHING WORKED NORMALLY. I HAVE HEARD OF PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS TRANSFERABLE. IT IS NOT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 44000 MILES ON IT AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS SO UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP.. NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS, A WARRANTY AND EVERY TIME I CALL A JEEP DEALER AND ASK THEM WHAT IT IS I GET A DIFFERENT ANSWER AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. *TR

SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM WOULD COME UP AND P R N D WOULD LIGHT UP, THEN JEEP WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IT HAD COMPLETELY STALLED OUT FOR NO REASON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITENTLY DURING THIS TIME. ALSO, MANUAL SHIFT BEVEL STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE (STILL COVERED BY WARRANTY) AND WAS REPLACED, STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 5 MONTHS AFTER THAT AND WAS REPLACED WITH THE WARRANTY BUT THEN STOPPED WORKING AGAIN ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ANY LONGER. ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO HEARD A LOUD NOISE AS I WAS GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND NOW EVERYTIME IT SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND OR SECOND TO FIRST IT SHIFTS VERY HARD. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER REFUSES TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL GEAR OPTIONS HIGHLIGHT AT THE SAME TIME. THIS WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND OR HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND APPLY THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL ALSO BEGIN TO ACCELERATE WHILE AT A STOP ON ITS OWN. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS FROM OTHER JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE OTHER JEEP COMMANDER OWNERS HAS BEEN CHARGED FOR REPLACING TRANSMISSION MODULES JUST TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. MY COMMANDER IS A 2007 V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MODEL. HERE ARE A COUPLE LINKS I HAVE FOUND ON ISSUES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ABOVE INFORMATION WAS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE CAR WILL STALL OUT OF NO WHERE DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. I HAD IT REPLACED 11/08 WHICH WAS ONLY A YEAR AFTER THE CAR WAS MADE. IT IS COMPLETELY ACTING UP AGAIN AND THE MODULE NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS ISSUE BUT THERE ARE OVER 145 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE BUT YET ON YOUR WEBSITE IT SAYS A RECALL IS NECESSARY WHEN THERE IS A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT. A SAFETY DEFECT IS DEFINED AS A PROBLEM THAT EXISTS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE OR ITEM OF MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT THAT: POSES A RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY. EXAMPLES OF DEFECTS CONSIDERED SAFETY-RELATED:STEERING COMPONENTS THAT BREAK SUDDENLY CAUSING PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. ACCELERATOR CONTROLS THAT MAY BREAK OR STICK. CRITICAL VEHICLE COMPONENTS THAT BREAK, FALL APART, OR SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING POTENTIAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL OR INJURY TO PERSONS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. ALONG WITH THE ABOVE I HAVE CHILDREN AND IF THEY ARE INSIDE THIS VEHICLE WHILE SOMETHING HAPPENS JUST WAIT UNTIL I SLAP THE LAWSUIT ALONG WITH THE MANY OTHERS AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE THAT NOBODY IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY BY VEHICLES GOING 75 MPH BECAUSE OF THE CAR STALLING/NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE! I WANT ANSWERS AND I WANT THEM NOW!

2007 JEEP COMMANDER ENGINE STALLING PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE INITIALLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 WEEKS AND CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING, IDLING, AND TURNING. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CONTINUE TO REPLACE THINGS AT RANDOM THAT ARE NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AND HAVE TOLD US THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO CONTINUALLY STALL. SO FAR EVERY TIME IT HAS STALLED IT HAS STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BUT MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I CAN'T GET IT OFF THE RIDE WHEN IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS LEAVING A STOP SIGN ENTERING A FEEDER ROAD WITH 50 MPH SPEED LIMIT. UPON ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE LUNGED, AND DIED. IT RESTARTED AND WAS DRIVEN TO IT'S ORIGINAL DESTINATION. WE CALLED CHRYSLER AFTER SHE RETURNED HOME AND THEY TOLD US TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTICS. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL AND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS CLEANING FOR $250. (A $2 CAN OF CLEANER). THIS SAME VEHICLE STALLED TWICE IN THE SAME TRIP ONE WEEK EARLIER BUT I CONSIDERED IT AS PART OF THE COLD WEATHER. AFTER READING ALL OF THIS, THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 HEMI'S AND HAVE NOT FESSED UP TO IT.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ROCKY MTN EDITION, THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED 30 TO 40 TIMES WITH ME. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY REGARDLESS OF SPEED, I LOOSE ALL CONTROL TO THE THROTTLE(GAS PEDAL) IF I FLOOR IT THE TACK DOESN'T MOVE AND I WILL SLOW TO A STOP, I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PUT IT IN "N" AND THEN BACK INTO "D" AND IT SEEMS TO BE OK FOR AWHILE. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT FLASHES AND ALL POSITIONS OF THE GEARS LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME, P, R N D. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CODE WAS THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT CONTROL MODULA. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS FAILURE WAS NOTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. THEY LAUGHED AND TOLD ME THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, $851.00 PLUS LABOR WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD AT THIS TIME., THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY. OR CHANGING LANES ON THE INTERSTATE. BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOUND ABOUT THIS FAILURE AND IT IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE I THOUGH YOU SHOULD BE NOTIFIED. WILL BE WAITING TO HERE SOME RESPONSE, RESPECTFULLY. *LN

1. MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER ACTS AS IF IT SLIPS OUT OF DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. ALL THE P R N D LIGHTS LIGHT UP AND I HAVE NO GAS POWER. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I HAVE TO PUSH THE SHIFTER TO THE RIGHT TO TRY AND GET IT TO GO IN GEAR OR PULL OVER AND NOT DRIVE IT. BROUGHT IT IN AND STATED IT WAS THE STARTER. FIXED THAT AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS WORSE. THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I FINALLY HAVE A NEW CHRYSLER DEALER THAT IS GOING THROUGH PROPER STEPS TO FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT AND THE HAVE KEPT ME INFORMED. THE OUTCOME IS A ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. I AM JUST OVER MY WARRANTY AND IT IS GOING TO COST APPROX. $1000.00 TO FIX PLUS THE $397 I JUST SPENT ON THE STARTER THAT I MAY HAVE NOT NEEDED. THE WORST PART IS I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMMANDERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS A HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE! GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN NO POWER IS SCARY. *TR
