ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
VEHICLE STALLS AT RANDOM TIMES AT RANDOM SPEEDS, SOMETIMES WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT, OTHER TIMES WHILE ACCELERATING , AND ALSO WHILE JUST CRUISING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE LOST ALL POWER TO ENGINE, STEERING AND ELECTRONICS(LIGHTS, GAUGES RADIO), AND A FEW TIMES I HAVE ONLY LOST POWER TO MY ELECTRONICS AND THEN THEY KICK BACK ON LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED..THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS WIDE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE JEEP COMMANDER COMMUNITY, I SERIOUSLY SEE SOME LAWSUITS IN THE NEAR FUTURE DUE TO THE ACCIDENTS THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE...IM A SECOND OWNER OF MINE AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS, THEN WITHIN THE LAST WEEK IT HAS DIED AT LEAST ONCE A DAY...THANK GOD IM STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I AM GOING TO THE DEALER TOMORROW, THEY HOPE THAT REPLACING THE IGNITION MODULE IS GOING TO FIX IT..WE'LL SEE. *TR

THE MPH RANGED FROM 4 OR 5 MPH TO 35 MPH. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN IT WAS WARM AND DAYS THAT IT WAS COLD. NOTHING SEEMED TO STANDOUT AS A POSSIBLE "TRIGGER" I TOOK CAR TO DEALER AFTER THE NOVEMBER 24TH INCIDENT. TONY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE WAS REALLY NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO UNLESS IT WAS A PROBLEM THEY COULD "MAKE HAPPEN" WHEN THEY DROVE IT. A FEW DAYS LATER I WRECKED INTO A MAILBOX WHEN MY JEEP STALLED AND I LOST STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITY....I AM LUCKY IT WAS NOT HEAD ON WITH A LARGE TRUCK OR A TREE. *TR

I OWN A JEEP COMMANDER 2006 5.7 LITER ENGINE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT A STALLING PROBLEM AND THEY TELL ME THAT IT DOES NOT REGISTER IN THE COMPUTER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG. THIS TRUCK STALLS ABOUT 4 TIMES A WEEK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. BEING THAT I HAVE A TODDLER AND A BABY I AM NOT SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON AT LEAST TEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS STALLED AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 15 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. POWER IS SHUT OFF COMPLETELY LEADING TO THE LOSS OF ALL FUNCTIONALITY. IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED SLIGHTLY, THE WHEEL LOCKS, LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN A SITUATION WHERE IT HAS TO COAST TO A STOP. THIS IS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. ACCIDENTS HAVE NEARLY OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS HAPPENING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVEN OCCASIONS WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WITH NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER BLAMES THE OPERATORS OF THE VEHICLE FOR HITTING THE KEY WITH THEIR KNEE. THIS IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AS IT OCCURS WHEN THE DRIVER'S KNEE IS NOWHERE NEAR THE KEY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT APPARENTLY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM WHEN THEY SERVICE THE VEHICLE FOR SOME REASON THOUGH IT IS A VERY REAL ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

DEALER SHIP LOOKED AT IT AND FOUND "NOTHING" WRONG WITH IT. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE TO WORK. I WISH THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. ITS SO RIDICULOUS. *TR
